Immediately after freshening up, Rhen called Nick to drive him to the guild's branch.
Nocten had decided to join the guild.
And they lied to the guild.
They had introduced Nocten as a traveler who had received a quest similar to Rhen's and ended up in the Haven.
It worked spectacularly.
This was the only reasonable explanation for how Nocten suddenly showed up in a well-guarded Haven like Emberhold.
The Guild offered Nocten the same deal they gave Rhen.
Just like that, they secured 60,000 En Coins and a neutral egg.
Weapons and armor weren't things Rhen or Nocten needed, so it had increased their first pay to the 60k they were paid.
After signing the contract and paying them, Zamir stared at Nocten for a second.
He felt strength from the kid and wondered how a kid like this obtained such powers. Talent?
The non-traditional looks of Nocten added to his curiosity, and he was really tempted to ask what world he was from.
But of course, he didn't.
