"You should be commended for the way you were able to prepare so quickly for such a horde of skysalmons and take them out in a matter of seconds without causing too much damage to the encampment. Thanks to this, the damage to the encampment was kept to a minimum. A wrong move would have caused this pioneering project itself to fail. I cannot thank you enough. We are very glad that Rust was here."

"We have also lodged a formal protest with the Alchemy Society regarding the murder of Rust by Master Rehalzam, which preceded the attack on Sky Salmon. However, as many of you may have seen, it seems that Sky Salmon also attacked King's Landing. Apparently, the Alchemy Association has been severely damaged.

Thank you. The next batch of woodcock berries will be arriving soon. And, in view of the future, we have decided to give higher priority to the maintenance of the roads. The lords of the neighboring territories are also eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next batch of Kagero nuts, and we will work out the details. I ask for everyone's cooperation.
