☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Well, this is yet another reason to dismiss Kingaludda as a candidate... and at the same time, realize that their group didn't really have any other candidates. The only lead regarding the Apostle of Arrogance might be connected to Abbot's establishment. Hoping for luck, she could send Kenshiro to monitor the place and pay attention to... unusual clientele. Not the most reliable approach, but it's something. An alternative would be to take a risk and go there herself, hoping to strike up a conversation with the money-hungry pirate. But the Apostle of Abomination was much more complicated, as the only "non-humans" she knew of in Barisnya were the inhabitants of Buruaki. None of the three had encountered any obvious monsters. Except perhaps Marduk, who was shrouded in robes, thereby hiding his monstrous appearance? A rather bold theory, and not supported by any facts. Fortunately, the Septet could easily disprove these assumptions.
— Oh, treasure trove of knowledge, you once mentioned Marduk Ishtaran, the court mage of the great king and a famous sorcerer in Calcite. My question may sound strange, or even silly, but... is anything known about the appearance of this sorcerer? Or is he known for always hiding his appearance behind baggy robes?
