John looked at [Deception], who had fallen silent, and understood that he had successfully convinced him.
This was not John being deceitful; it was simply the truth.
Lies might work for a while, but they are lies after all, and will eventually be exposed.
It's all a gamble. Instead of betting on an uncertain unknown, it's better to focus on the present!
"[Deception], you were never this quiet before."
"Well... you were never this good at sweet-talking either. Although I don't want to admit it, you've convinced me.
I can help you find Tyr and Hera and take down that foul-smelling dead dragon. However, I have one condition."
"What condition?"
"Help me find someone, an item? Or a thing? I'm not sure where she is now, but I know her name, Seraphina."
Hearing this, John showed a trace of surprise in his eyes but remained expressionless, asking, "Who is Seraphina?"
