Adrian carefully thought about it…for a long time, whether he should tell Ariana or not. But then he realized he had a route that won't cause suspicion.
And that route was abduction.
He weaved a story and only gave her that much information, which would allow Ariana to take necessary countermeasures.
Naturally, she couldn't prepare to completely subdue what was to come, but she, at least, would be mentally prepared for an ambush.
'I need to give most of my time to the artifacts…' It was disheartening, but Adrian had to sacrifice his time from the studies for the time being and focus on the production.
He was in his workshop, having finished the thirteenth artifact just now.
He has five ice-based, three flame-based, and the rest, light-based.
He has already discerned where he would be planting the artifacts, and he has gotten Ariana's permission too.
However, his work was far from finished.
