"Oh, I'm quite a boring person, believe me." Willas' tone makes it clear that he's joking. "Boredom has led me to learn a dozen ancient languages, decipher a trove of ancient manuscripts and chronicles, and riddle out the locations they mention, and the relics hidden there.

I do hope no one here knows the name of Willas Gunderson, or I shall have to flee again! Fame, I'm afraid, is the most boring thing in the world."
