L94. The Savage Myriglia IV

"%n%, it's been a bit of a wait! I've mixed together some strength boosting ingredients. Look! And I didn't waste a drop!" Dak looks pleased with himself.

You smile and nod, telling yourself not to mention the fact that if Dak hadn't been so clumsy, you could have already delivered the medicine.

But given the man's kindness in helping you, you don't wish to hurt his feelings.

"Take these to Area 1 Guardian Leader Schneider in Shangri-La. He's a real stickler for the rules, but don't let him intimidate you!"

"Huh? Who are you? You're not authorized to come in here." Schneider bars your path.

You explain to him that you are delivering something for Dak.

"Dak? I doubt that! Something here doesn't add up. Dak usually comes here on his own. Why would he send you? You don't even have a letter of proof." Schneider doesn't believe a word you say.

(Oh, right! I should've asked Dak to send a letter!)

You offer your apologies, and try to think of a way of explaining the situation to him.

"I don't know what that lunatic Dak is up to. Give me that package!" Schneider snatches the packet and hands it to a soldier behind him.

"My soldier will inspect the package, and then we'll see if you're telling the truth."
