Nighttime.
Reef Rock Castle, Commander Mansion, Command Room.
A thin wizard, around thirty years old, was covering his mouth with a handkerchief, constantly coughing.
"Cough cough cough..."
After coughing for a long time, the thin wizard raised his head and looked at Soron in front of him, saying, "General, that's basically the situation. After I saw the envoy from Shaya being assassinated and the body disposed of, I stopped following and returned to Reef Rock Castle. Oh, and... at the end, the woman handling the body glanced towards the direction where I was hiding. I'm not sure if she noticed me... cough cough cough..."
Towards the end, the thin wizard coughed brutally, as if he were coughing up his insides. After hacking for a while, he clenched his fist, and a faint blue light flashed across his face—it was an extraordinary power he wielded, finally suppressing the coughing.
