Alice saying she's scared?
Nelson couldn't help but feel both amused and baffled.
With such a powerful master, what do you have to fear?
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Aren't they just a few forgotten Soulmancer practitioners in Texas?" Nelson, being one of the three great magicians of the Arcane Society, didn't really take a few forgotten Soulmancer practitioners seriously.
And he truly didn't think Alice had any reason to be afraid.
The Soulmancers in the bookstore, overhearing Alice's conversation with Nelson, began to speculate.
They had come to "flatter" Nelson, hadn't they?
Moreover, this bookstore must have some hidden secrets.
Alice's obvious close relationship with Nelson and her sudden rise in a short period of time led them to believe it must be related to Nelson, and Alice might very well be Nelson's disciple.
Their staying in the bookstore was precisely in hopes of encountering a similar fortune to Alice's.
