Welcome, Administrator. The Wayfarer Company Is Honored by Your Visit, Esteemed Traveler

Murphy's entrance into the ruins of Wayfarer Headquarters was perfect.

Everything—from his commanding presence to the way he made his entrance and the scene he had carefully arranged—proclaimed to the elven prince and human general before him that he was a big shot with unquestionable power and authority.

He had originally chosen this place to intimidate the priest from Sangha, who had come from the Origin Lands. But he hadn't expected the man to react so dramatically to the Creator Guard gnoll that he'd actually fainted.

What a temper those Sangha people had.

Still, it didn't matter much that he was out of the picture. Murphy had clearly intimidated General Felociel and General Misoyang, and had easily taken control of the conversation.

It wasn't that he was deliberately showing off. He simply didn't have time to make friends with the two of them right now.

One thing after another had come up today, and there was still a pile of things to deal with at Base R-9. Venerable Paine's deicide plan was imminent. All Murphy wanted to do was open the "treasure chest" that was the Wayfarer Headquarters ruins, then take his people back to Base R-9 to prepare for the coming battle.

That was right!

In Murphy's eyes, the ruins of Wayfarer Headquarters were basically a "treasure chest." During the Golden Age, this place had merely supplied weapons to Eden's military. The truly important experiments would never have been conducted here.

Simply put, it was a giant armory. There was no priceless Creator knowledge here. Perhaps that was why it had stayed hidden for a century, even from Dusk's searches.

The good news was that the ruins of Wayfarer Company's headquarters still contained several intact, sealed armories.

The bad news was that everything else had been damaged beyond repair.
