161: Making Preparation To Tackle The Cursed Garden

"To tackle the deadly Cursed Garden, the two of us won't be enough. I need to recruit a few more people. Are you fine with waiting?" Valerius asked.

"I am," Vorian nodded, then added thoughtfully, "but the people you bring on board need to have a longstanding reputation for being trustworthy and honorable. Otherwise, you might end up recruiting a shady character who could be swayed by greed and steal from the garden when we are not looking. If caught, their actions would put you in trouble with the Everglades since you brought them along.

"The question is, how and where will you find trustworthy people?"

Vorian's advice was given with the intention of ensuring that Valerius's interest would not be jeopardized by the potential greed or dishonor of less scrupulous individuals.

Vorian was being sincere, and Valerius recognized that.

However, he had to say, Vorian was being needlessly concerned.
