Led by Tilly, Elias arrived at a house on higher ground in the town.
The view was incredible, offering a clear sight of the long coastline and a misty, barely visible island in the sea – probably the one Tilly mentioned where the Hermitage leader was trapped.
Before they could enter the house, Tilly got pulled away for some urgent business by some mages in light robes. She gave Elias an apologetic look.
Elias gestured for them to go ahead, then turned to Isabella, whose hair was still soaked from Tilly's magic prank. She had been drying it with a towel all the way and it was still damp.
Isabella gave Elias a look of silent reproach.
"Let me help you with that..."
"No thanks!!"
She glared at Tilly's retreating figure, clearly fuming.
"Is that witch out of her mind??"
"Just chill, professor..." Elias said with a helpless smile. "That's just how she is. Maybe lay off talking to her next time..."
