During the wait for the High Priest's arrival, Zara had been eagerly chatting with Aria. The majority of their conversation revolved around Charles.
"I didn't realize that you all went through so many trials to obtain the Tears of an Angel," Aria said with a sense of admiration. "I must especially thank you, Charles."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind," Charles replied with a smile.
"Since your purpose for coming to the Atacama Desert was to obtain the materials for upgrading your mystical beast, I'll have someone guide you to the Serpent Empire's treasure vault to find the appropriate upgrade materials soon," Aria offered, presenting an extraordinarily generous reward.
Although the Serpent Empire had already fallen apart, the treasure vault must still contain many priceless items. It's possible that it even holds the mystical beast upgrade materials Charles needs.
"Thank you so much!" Charles responded excitedly.
