West raised an eyebrow. "That somehow sounds even less convincing."
"Why would I be interested in anything you have to offer?"
Her smile widened. "Because..."
"...you stand to gain quite a lot from it."
West remained silent.
Seeing he wasn't interrupting, she continued. "A once-in-a-century opportunity is approaching."
"It hasn't been made public yet..." she paused deliberately before adding. "In three months..."
"...the Rift to Castle Extingo will open."
West frowned. "...Castle what?"
"Castle Extingo."
She folded her arms. "It's similar to a ruin."
"...but only on the surface."
"Its scale is incomparable."
"Its treasures are beyond counting."
"And unlike ordinary ruins..."
"...it has never been cleared."
West's interest visibly increased and she noticed.
"It appears only once every hundred years."
"But there's another restriction."
"Only awakeners who have been awakened for one year or less may enter."
"The rift itself rejects everyone else."
