The old witch sitting on the sofa nodded slowly to Shard:
"Yes, there is a witch in Velindale City, but I can't tell you which one. You've already heard the rumors, huh? Fine, I'll speak to her next week and tell her to keep a low profile for the time being."
Shard nodded and said nothing more. He was merely curious, now that both of the major human kingdoms in the material world had obtained some theoretical materials and models of the "difference engine", which direction this civilization of the Steam Age would take.
Throughout the entire day, Shard did not leave Midshire Fort. After lunch, he went to the House of the Blind and the railway black market to gather information. He did not hear any particularly valuable intelligence, but he did hear that after the earthquake, the nights in the Sicarl Mountain had become dangerous.
