"What the..." Kagerou couldn't believe his eyes as he saw the Magus, and what made him relax a little was the fact that they were wearing the color of Bloodoak Union.
Three of them floated up and hovered beside the roof, looking at Vacuse and the stone dragon. "I told you it wasn't a real dragon, didn't I? It was made of stone!"
"Be as it may be, it's still very lifelike and impressive. I want it," another of the three Magus said.
But the one in the middle was watching Vacuse. "I am Nickel, a union leader. Are you the leader of the dragon hunters that they've been searching for?"
Vacuse shrugged. "Kagerou, am I the leader?"
Kagerou bowed. "You are, my lord. You always were."
"Then you have your answer, Nickel. I am the leader of the dragon hunters. What can I do for you?"
Nickel's eyes glittered as he watched Vacuse, as if he was trying to see through his skin. "You are in the second circle, but they are all so loyal to you. Are you a royalty of some sort?"
