Suddenly, several people pushed forward, eager to grab the magic core.
"Hold on!" one of them yelled. "That magic core is worth a fortune! Millions in gold! How can your you just take it all? We want it!"
"We wants it too!" another shouted, rushing closer.
The leaders of other merchants guilds quickly joined in, adding to the commotion.
The first leader shot back, "You can fight over the box if you want, but the magic core belongs to me!"
The faces of the other merchant leaders immediately turned sour. Sure, the box might be valuable, but the real treasure everyone was eyeing was the glowing magic core inside.
"What's that?!"
Suddenly, someone pointed towards the box, staring at the large sword inside. "Wait a second... I know that sword! Where have I seen it? It looks exactly like the Garrick Knight uses! The leader of the famous Mercenaries group!"
Instantly, all the noisy chatter died. The entire place fell completely silent.
