The next morning, Reidar found Aaron near the forge. The engineer looked as if he hadn't slept, but his eyes got into focus when he saw Reidar.
"I have it," Aaron said. A trade request materialized in Reidar's sight. He accepted without a word.
[TRADE COMPLETE: 50,000 Survival Points received from Aaron.]
Reidar's eyes narrowed. It was a fortune for a single engineer.
"Anyway… I'm leaving to take on the second quest today. The sunken turbine quest."
"Wh—? I mean, already?"
"Did I have to wait?"
"N-no." He paused for a second. "I'm going to come with you."
It was Reidar's turn to be surprised. He looked at Aaron's level.
—Aaron Abstuln—Level 29—
"Why would you come on such a dangerous quest at your level?"
"Well… There is still much to d-discuss. I thought it might be good to talk where we are sure we won't be heard."
