Adrian's story matched what Liam had predicted for the most part, featuring a few unexpected details.
An envoy of the Church of the Man came to pick up Adrian shortly after the Recruiters Guild, escorting him to the nearest Church, where he began paying off his debt.
Nothing fishy came of it. Adrian did charity work, moving between villages and towns. Traveling was dangerous for mortals, but the Church had cultivators, and no one was crazy enough to attack that force.
The only dangers had come from occasional run-ins with magical beasts. Adrian witnessed a few deaths, but most of the corpses in his experience came from working in hospitals or whatever battle the Church had been called to mediate.
It was tough work, but Adrian saw it through, successfully paying his debt back, only for Cyrus to fall ill again.
