What brings you here?"
James went straight to the point.
"I heard you unwittingly entered the Seafolk’s territory while training at sea many years ago.
It’s also rumored that you learned the Seafolk’s swordsmanship and became a peerless powerhouse
when you returned."
"You''re not wrong."
The demaster of Mount Grinch did not deny the truth.

"I''d like to head to the Seafolk’s territory and was hoping you would help lead the way."

Walganus was about to parry the attack but suddenly recalled something and dodged the attack
instead.

The trio appeared a slight distance away from their initial position.
Walganus’ brows furrowed.
He wanted to counter the attack but did not want to expose his true strength.
Otherwise, James would be wary of him, making it hard to snatch James’ treasures in the future.
He said solemnly, "The demaster of Sword Grinch is a tough person to deal with.
Why did his demeanor change instantly after hearing about the Seafolk?"
James shook his head and said, "I don’t know.
Maybe he has his own reasons."
Yanina asked, "What should we do now?"
