Dali then began her report, speaking with an irrepressible eagerness.
The reports on the sect's recent situation were told in fragments, as if she were recounting family affairs to a long-absent family member.
The Duke did not interrupt, he just followed at her side, listening slowly.
The wind rustled a few leaves of the ironwood tree under the eaves, and the tendrils of hair on her forehead fluttered.
The Duke stayed in the Oracle Plane for a few more days.
During this time, both Dali and Robert sent over information about several veins that had already been surveyed.
Most of these veins were discovered accidentally by sect believers during their missionary journeys, while others were marked by the Shadow Council.
The Duke noted them down one by one, planning to handle them before leaving.
