A few minutes had passed since Alden and Aemirya had heroically rescued the merchant caravan from the trouble they had caused themselves.
The caravan was currently stopped to recover and thankfully, no one had lost their life.
At worst, a few guards had suffered light injuries as Alden had made sure to step in the moment any situation threatened to turn fatal because he didn't want any unnecessary bloodshed.
Meanwhile, inside the merchant carriage, Ruru, the merchant leader's daughter, sat discussing the matter with the captain of her guards as the Expert-ranked knight sat respectfully in front of her.
Unfortunately for him, the thin mana barrier he had erected to hide their conversation was utterly meaningless for Alden.
After reaching the Ascendant Rank, Alden's Spirit Domain had become sharp enough to pierce through such feeble attempts with ease as every word reached him as clearly as if he were standing beside them.
