Going home…or not

We stayed in the Dwarven Kingdom for two more days.

It was both for me to recover from being drained by the Staff of Earth and to hash out the details of the wyverns being sent to the Dwarven Kingdom.

The plan was to have the dwarves come to our kingdom to pick up the wyverns and then they would work for us as carriers. They would be part of the caravan that regularly transported ores from the Dwarven Kingdom to our kingdom, though they would be under the control of the Dwarven Kingdom.

Until it was time to reveal their true identities, they would be working for the caravan.

This was how we would be able to keep the secret alliance under wraps until it was the right time.

After receiving the mark in the Earthen Temple, I wasn't certain if my problem had been solved. However, that didn't mean that there was no change at all in my body.

With the new mark, I found that I was much stronger than before.
