Heins saw that Heckler had no reaction and immediately said, "If all this manpower and resources are wasted, especially after we've been looted once, the Empire must take full responsibility."
"If it opens, does that mean we can take all the credit?" Costate retorted. Heins was at a loss, but Schmidt said:
"There's no more time to waste. If we fail this time, we might face the Azure Dragon directly next time. We need confirmation."
"I've told you before," Heckler said coldly, finally speaking up, "I have absolute assurance that I can open the Holy Castle, but you never believed me."
Schmidt sighed helplessly. The problem lay in this "absolute assurance." Heckler's certainty made him suspicious.
"There's no need to worry. If we fail, we have other means," Costate reassured.
Schmidt felt a twinge of curiosity, "Is it a method to kill in Istanbul?"
