"He's dead, and now all his belongings are mine, including the Legendary Creature's corpse he bought for a hefty price."
"Uh..." Carl said dryly, "Congratulations!"
"It might sound immoral to say this, but I won't lie to you, I'm genuinely happy," Bach shrugged. "My tutor Jin died on a forced mission. He had chosen a relatively easy target, but who could have expected him to still lose his life."
Carl nodded. Recently, quite a few Wizard Apprentices had died while carrying out missions, so he wasn't surprised.
"What about you?" he asked casually. "Did you complete your task?"
"I did," Bach said. "I have a friend who is skilled in the art of disguise. Together, we assassinated a Great Knight from Kolon."
The art of disguise? That too fell within the purview of Bloodline Magic. Knowing each other was normal.
"In a few days, I'm going to hold my tutor's funeral at the Swamp Alliance's public cemetery," Bach said. "You have to be there."
"Of course," Carl nodded. "I'll be there."
