Bernard saw the state of Arthur and the blood that covered him. There were also a lot of items with him, including two large pelts that were hanging from his back. It was clear that the man was carrying a heavy load.
The old mage didn't care about that though. To him, only the mission that he had given to Arthur mattered. The Resident Mage had assumed that Arthur would be failing right from the start.
At the very least, he knew that the ruins in the north were something strange. He had wished to go there too but was never able to leave the Kestrel village. The limitation placed on him was something that he had to bear himself.
Thus, he could only give this task to someone else.
Even if he knew that they were likely to fail, he couldn't help but have a smidgen of hope somewhere deep inside.
Seeing the small statue in Arthur's hand suddenly ignited that ember of hope, turning it into a flame.
"You… You got it?" Bernard almost couldn't believe his eyes. "Let me take a closer look! Give it to me!" he didn't wait and quickly snatched the statue from Arthur.
He then rushed into his house while Arthur followed after him. The sound of furniture and other objects being moved was heard, as Bernard took out a lot of equipment. Arthur could tell all of this was magical equipment used in research and more.
Bernard held the statue carefully with both his hands and closely observed it. His eyes gleamed with the power of mana as the waves of magic could be felt. Arthur who was watching all this, was silent knowing that speaking right now would only disturb the temperamental mage.
'At least I got his interest… Now to wait for the quest to update.' Arthur thought to himself.
Minute after minute passed by, while Bernard observed the statue and did some tests on it. Various equipment were used along with a few liquids that were dripped on the statute. Arthur couldn't exactly tell what Bernard was doing, but the man was also recording it in a notebook.
About thirty minutes passed like this, after which Bernard finally stopped.
Clatter!
A few metallic tools fell from the old man's hand, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.
"This… it really is…" A shocked gasp escaped Bernard's lips as he sat down.
Thud!
Collapsing into a chair, the man rubbed his forehead, trying to come to terms with his discovery.
"All these years… and it really was here." Bernard muttered to himself as a strained expression appeared on his face.
Step!
The sound of Arthur's movement could be heard, as the floorboards underneath him creaked. It prompted the old mage to look at him, making him a bit nervous.
"Seems like you really accomplished what I had asked you for," Bearnard said, his expression becoming a bit calmer.
And as soon as he did that, a string of notification appeared in front of Arthur.
