Gloria returned to the room and stood beside Alvin, the mage, which unavoidably distracted Bartlett.
He had to force himself to concentrate, fixing his gaze steadily on the mage. Otherwise, if he wasn't careful, his eyes would naturally drift towards the Medusa again.
"Hey, adventurer, don't stare at me like that, it makes me feel uncomfortable," Alvin complained a little, "I know what you're thinking and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Gloria's eye ability was modified by Mage Colbert, and her racial talent was changed from 'Petrifying Gaze' to 'Charming Skill'. You should know, unlike a Petrified Lizard, a Medusa's 'Petrifying Gaze' is always present without needing to be cast. So, after the modification, Gloria's 'Charming Skill' is also constantly affecting anyone who makes eye contact with her."
