One of the soldiers hesitated, still watching the loud, laughing wyvern rider getting closer.
Then he turned to the captain and asked—
"Do you know that rider, Captain?"
The captain lowered his mana binoculars, already looking tired.
He rubbed his temples before answering.
"Uhh… you know our lord's special blacksmith, right?"
The soldiers perked up.
"Master Rasdingen?"
"Yeah."
There was a short silence.
The guards exchanged confused looks.
One of them tilted his head. "What about him?"
The captain sighed heavily and nodded toward the approaching wyvern.
"That wyvern rider? Let's just say… he's a copy of—"
"Copy?" one of the soldiers blinked, looking puzzled.
The captain paused, searching for the right words.
"Ah… more like..."
He exhaled loudly and finally said—
"He's Rasdingen's troublemaker partner."
With a deep sigh, he turned to his men.
"Contact all the bases in every town."
The soldiers stood up straight, paying close attention.
"Inform our overseers."
