Claire didn’t fully trust her, but with no other leads, she decided to investigate. She introduced herself as Milith, and said that there was treasure at the shrine in the temple to the north. She arrived in the town that acted as a staging ground, and as she walked through it, she came across a mysterious shop and met its owner.
