"My lord, we'd better leave Ghost Soul Prefecture as soon as possible." Talos kept his voice very low, a rare look of gravity bordering on solemnity on his rugged bovine face. "That fellow will definitely ask his uncle to intervene. Being hunted by a Sovereign's Emissary would be far too dangerous."
Loa did not answer immediately.
He rolled the Low-Grade Soul Treasure he had just acquired twice between his fingertips. The grayish-white pearl gave off a faint fluorescent glow in the dim light beneath the sea.
