The entire team was unanimously opposed to Gray accepting the allegiance of a group of dwarves. This included Vivian, Catherine, Black Cat, Andrew, Carl, and even Shelley, because she thought dwarves were just a bunch of oafs, dirty and incredibly crude.
However, Gray still made the decision, and no one could change it.
"I know what you all are saying. But that's exactly why I decided to accept them. I want to see how people react to a group of dwarves loyal to me who yearn for the divine. Maybe I can change their views over the long journey. After all, they'll sooner or later have to accept a Lich, won't they? A Lich is much worse than dwarves. And besides, they don't seem that bad. Carl even found a Bible in one of Beater's packs, which means there's hope for them to become better."
"My God, you actually know that a Lich is worse than a dwarf—this shows you have made some progress in common sense." Black Cat felt quite gratified.
Catherine, who had been silent, sighed.
