Just like that, Jean quickly made further arrangements for the unexpected situation at hand. As for the theft of the dragon's remains on Dragonspine, the Knights of Favonius were currently short-handed, so that matter could only be put on hold for now. But that did not mean Jean would let it go.
Jean specifically approved a sum of money from the Knights of Favonius' funds to post a commission at the Adventurers' Guild: investigate the theft of the ribs on Dragonspine. The generous reward was enough to draw a large number of adventurers to Snow Mountain to investigate.
For one thing, hiring adventurers to investigate would save the Knights of Favonius considerable manpower. For another, even if they found nothing, with so many adventurers active on Dragonspine, the thieves stealing the dragon's remains would be wary of all those eyes and ears and would not dare attempt another theft.
Once the Inazuma delegation had departed safely, Jean would have ample energy to investigate the matter.
Meanwhile, inside the Angel's Share tavern, the drunkard Venti showed Yucheng and Shenhe what it truly meant to hold one's liquor. With Yucheng footing the bill as his sucker, Venti began ordering only the tavern's expensive drinks, along with a whole heap of food to go with them.
In Venti's words, "Normally, I couldn't afford even a single glass of fine wine like this. I have to seize this chance... another glass. Yes, another glass."
As for the two jars of fine wine Yucheng had given him, he had slyly stashed them away. By the look of it, he did not want to waste his drinking capacity on them during this meal.
Seeing Venti acting so shamelessly, Yucheng simply let him be. As it happened, Yucheng and Shenhe had not eaten dinner yet either, so
