Gu Shanhai hurriedly took the Holy Knights back to the Royal Capital to trade for something, only to discover a terrifying fact: he seemed to have nowhere to make the exchange.

It meant going into battle, and although his strong senses made him unafraid of stray arrows, a battlefield entailed more than just that: it could be a rain of arrows... oh, that was unlikely, with five hundred Knights counting as a large army. Gu Shanhai thought it over carefully, figuring it couldn't be that different from a village brawl.
Since they were already at the gates of the Royal Capital, they had to take it slow.
"Trade with Merlin?"
"No, that would cause trouble. But speaking of which, it's odd that I'm not wanted. What's the situation there?"
