    He then ordered everyone to quickly gather the loot. There were mostly ragged clothes, but there were also the occasional weapons such as round shields, composite bows, and wind rods.

After they collected all the loot, Smoke asked everyone to camp outside of the mausoleum and have a quick meal. He wanted to check how long it would take for the skeletons to respawn.

As each platoon began to make their meals, Smoke asked Sierra to join him to somewhere more private. He had something important to tell her. Laernea watched intently as Smoke and Sierra walked into the forest.

Smoke started with what he discovered at the exit of the labyrinth.

"Listen, I know that this was my idea to make the labyrinth into our personal special dungeon, but we shouldn't move further into the tunnel. Do you remember the four meter krampus that I was talking about? Well, they've increased the guards to four. There's no way we could take on those monsters as we are now."

"But do you think it would be safe to continue hunting just inside the mausoleum?"

"I think it's a safe bet. We really do need all those equipment. If only we had mages and archers who could use the rods and bows."

Sierra smirked when she heard Smoke's concerns.

"Don't worry about the bows. I already have a plan on how to use those."

Smoke looked puzzled as he had no idea what Sierra was talking about.

"Anyway, the real reason why I wanted to talk to you was because there was one more thing I discovered inside the labyrinth."

"And? What was it?"

"I know where the Witches of Wysteria are. They're somewhere in the desolate lands to the west of here. Some place called  Veneficatl valley."

Sierra became quiet. She had been searching for the witches for months, and now she finally knew their location. However, there were also the residents of Verbrannt to worry about now.

Smoke silently waited for her to speak. He knew that it was a difficult situation. He never wanted to create a guild, but they desperately needed one in order to have a chance at defeating Burmistrz.

He had promised her that they would remove her curse after he completed the Mitleid's quest. So, he was prepared to bite the bullet and stay behind to facilitate the strategies that they had planned for Verbrannt.

A few more minutes passed and Sierra finally spoke.

"Hmm. I'm sorry to have to do this to you, Smoke. But we did have a deal. There's really no other way but for you to do it."

"I know... Don't worry. I'm a man of my word, and I don't plan on breaking my promise to you."

"Good. I know that finding the witches would still take a long time. You can spend that time to build up our army. You know, while you're looking for the witches, and I expect you to slay them for me when you find them."

He couldn't believe what he heard, and Sierra went on to explain her reason why she would rather have Smoke search the witches.

"The quest only requires their deaths and for me to bathe in their blood... I can't also expect you to stay behind and execute our plans for Verbrannt. Now, don't take this the wrong way. I know you would do a great job with the Zectians, but I also know you'll have a problem dealing with the other Sonstwelters. We really need to create a guild and I'm willing to stay behind to do it. So, can I count on you to complete it?"

Smoke's smile was filled with joy and excitement. He couldn't help
