Riding in the carriage back to Backlund, Hobart looked at the sun in the sky and felt that everything that had happened underground earlier was strangely unreal.
At present, only he and Doffis knew that there was a Level 0 Sealed Artifact inside. Only now was Hobart certain that Doffis had no intention of killing him to silence him.
Aside from reminding him to keep it secret, Doffis also said that he would be the one to tell Christine about the Sealed Artifact.
