"So, did you fake having trouble?" Icicle asked Adian, but his voice wasn't suspicious anymore. He didn't care, he wanted to know if they met with another group. Fighting with the wolves on his own and gaining experience was a way of Adian's to let him experience the world.

"Hehe, indeed, I made a few blunders on purpose. Who would have thought you would scheme so much, hehe. You're pretty good brother." Adian smiled brightly. He made sure he wasn't mistaken about this disciple of his. Icicle even spared his potions on him, that made him feel especially good. They were both frugal, trying to save the resources yet Icicle didn't hesitate and threw the potion to him. It wasn't something big, but the gesture counted.

"Thank you." Icicle said in a low voice. He raged just a few seconds ago, but now he realized he was led by the nose like a little sheep. That made him embarrassed.

"Haha, not a problem. Did you pick everything up? If so, then let's move! Those groups will only grow up in number. There are many more patrolling the area." Adian warned and picked up his backpack.

"There's this one thing..." Icicle stared at Adian with puppy eyes. "I need a sword." he pointed at the dead wolf's behind. The wolf didn't disintegrate into particiles like others, most likely because the sword was stuck up its ass.

"Buahahahaha! That's the funniest thing I've ever seen! You're really good!" Adian fell on his back and started rolling, only when the sound of glass breaking rang out from his backpack did he stop. "Man, that's so cruel yet so funny. Leave this wolf here, the other wolves will find him and scatter in search of the perpetrator. By thinning out the packs, we can move straight to the their leader's lair!"

"What about the new sword? Come on, help me out!" Icicle pleaded.

"I guess you've earned it." Adian scratched his head, put down his backpack and handed over one of his swords to Icicle.
