Faao thought for a moment and responded in a deep voice, transmitting his voice through magic: "Respond to Lord Lauren that the highest level internal affairs negotiations of the Sea Race are currently underway here, involving our ancient heritage and absolute secrecy.
Duke the Wizard, as the provider of key information, is cooperating with us for necessary inquiries. In the name of the Sea Race commander, I assure that Duke the Wizard's safety and dignity will be fully respected, and he will not be subjected to any improper treatment. However, until matters are clarified, we are not in a position to receive external guests. We ask for Lord Lauren's understanding!"
Duke also communicated with Lauren through the Wizard's Mark, indicating that nothing would happen on his end.
After receiving Duke's response, Lauren asked a few more questions, and only after confirming there was no issue did he leave the outside.
