Three days passed in the blink of an eye. While Perfikot was still researching issues related to the serpentine shield tunneling machine, the team from the Wild Mane Tribe returned to the gates of the Eagle's Beak Cliff base.
This time Herton led the team again, but the chieftain of the Wild Mane Tribe also accompanied them.
This was both to show respect for the Lord of the North and to quickly make decisions should Perfikot have any new requests or conditions, eliminating the need for another journey.
Although this could cause some problems or dangers, the chieftain of the Wild Mane Tribe deemed it all worthwhile.
Before departing, he specially consulted the shaman for divination, and the result indicated that this negotiation was both dangerous and an opportunity, requiring the chieftain to adapt to the situation and make judgments to avoid the worst outcome.
