"Nice axe, it suits you very well, hiss, Cohen, or Ken?"
She pursed her lips first, then turned her head and exhaled a string of light smoke. Her smile was not charming, but rather a kind of restraint that should not be underestimated, which would make the men in the tavern and the dance floor see at a glance that she was hard to get.
"What's your name?"
"Tsk tsk, not gentlemanly."
She tapped the burning cigarette twice in the air, like the anger of a noble lady, but her face showed a joking expression.
"With your way of chatting, the first dance can only be danced with a maid, but... if you wipe your face clean, it will still be very popular with the royal lady, um, wild and unruly style?"
She teased.
Ken had no reaction.
He raised his vision and saw a giant eagle flying by, dropping brown feathers.
The gray vision expanded, and no ambush was found. There were a few undeads and a small number of rockworms around, but they did not pose a threat.
He put the battle axe behind his back and answered calmly:
"Only the imperial capital pays attention to etiquette, ma'am, welcome to Pallotusby, it's hard to be decent, you have to survive to have the opportunity to introduce yourself."
"In that case, why did you put away the axe..."
She flicked off the cigarette tail and put her hands elegantly on her raised knees.
"Or do I not look dangerous enough."
Her temperament and conversation were very polite, like a classical beauty sung by a bard.
"Do I need to use a weapon?"
Kane asked back.
"Well, I shouldn't." She looked thoughtful, as if she was declining an invitation. "I don't see the possibility of a conflict, if, nothing unexpected happens."
"See?"
Kane grasped the key words and further questioned the other party's identity.
"Silena, a believer in the truth of history, Aurora of Oshua."
She introduced herself while putting on her coat. The heat from climbing the mountain road had dissipated, and the cold wind made her head ache.
[Identity: Revealer]
Ken saw her fiddle with the crystal ornament on her ear.
[Ornament: Tombaye's Relic]
[Quality: Legend]
He didn't know if Selina was showing it on purpose.
Testing her eyesight?
If there were no notes, people would probably only admire its exquisiteness, and it would be hard to imagine that it was a [Legend]-level ornament.
[Skill: Insight and Foresight]
With only a name, it has not yet been occupied, and pure observation cannot obtain more information.
[Attitude: Friendly]
There shouldn't be any conflict.
"It's something I inherited from my family, and it allows me to see the fragments of other people's experiences that I'm interested in."
Selina noticed his gaze and explained with a chuckle:
"I went south from Red Maple Highlands and passed through many places. This is not a long journey compared to my other journeys... ah, I've said too much. Anyway, I saw you in the memory of a black market boss and found you very interesting, so I waited here."
She passed through the stone circle and hid in the shadows, as if avoiding the sight of birds and beasts in the sky.
Ken followed Silena off the cliff. She had no ill intentions, and he had no other way to leave.
The trees were twisted and dark, gradually becoming dense and tall, with bare branches and no leaves. Only [Volcanic Lichen] and [Pear Thorn] were growing wildly.
Silena walked through cracks and narrow roads, occasionally stopping to think. She stood in the scattered sunlight and looked up - the ravens were fluttering away, and the cry of the giant eagle echoed for a long time.
She smiled and drew a magic circle on the dust on the cliff with her fingers.
The Kopi Rock made a rumbling sound, and dust fell like a rain curtain. As the secret door was moved away, the iron lamps embedded in the surroundings were exposed. The warm light was dazzling, surrounding an ancient manned box.
[Traveling Mist Servant] walked out of the shadows.
He was hidden in a dark and tattered cloak, and even when he opened the car door, his hands were covered with clothes, as if there was no flesh inside.
Selina greeted politely, she drew an arc with her finger in front of her forehead, and walked in with her right foot lightly.
There were many rumors in Ken's remaining memory, including the "mysterious long-distance service", and he didn't expect to have the opportunity to experience it in person so soon.
[Lady takes the lead, you have to be more tactful, no one wants the person they invite to be a timid person. ]
Ken's boots stepped on the footstool, and he looked up and found that the entire cargo box was hanging on the belly of a giant beast.
[Organism: Wolf Hair Giant Spider]
[Unnatural life, driven by crystal core, because of its lack of combat power, it has always been judged as a useless product of sacrifice until people applied it to transportation. ]
This is not the inside of the mountain, but a junction after some kind of distorted space, similar to the meditation world of an ancient altar.
The car door was closed, and the travel mist servant disappeared in the black smoke. Ken guessed that he should go to control the giant beast, because the cargo box was slowly rising, and the lights were shaking, illuminating the huge and sturdy thin legs that were so huge that they were discolored.
Knock, knock.
Selina tapped the varnished tabletop.
"You made the lady wait."
Ken ignored the other party's complaints, he sat down on the dark red leather bench, picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip.
[Drink: Silver Tree Tea]
[Effect: Increase mental acuity by 10%. ]
The tables and chairs are all varnished good wood, and a tablecloth with white background and gold lace is laid.
"I suggest being more direct."
Ken paused and glared at Selina - the other party was crossing her arms and showing an exaggerated expression, as if she had made some impolite request.
"Haha, okay, no kidding."
She waved her hand, resumed her dignified sitting posture, and cast her eyes out the window, through the fog and darkness.
"Not long ago, the strongest war flag in the North, Frengandor, made public a relic, which attracted many wise and experienced talents in the kingdom."
Ken has heard about this several times.
Unexpectedly, the other party continued:
"I have a friend who is a Gold Emblem scholar in the Kingdom of Norin. According to the date of her last letter, she should have arrived half a month ago. However, she disappeared. I "looked" along the route and, guided by countless fragments, arrived at the Duva tribe yesterday."
Ken slowly put down the porcelain cup and swallowed the slightly bitter tea.
Originally thought that Selina came for [Morning and Dusk], but unexpectedly she was looking for someone and found herself purposefully. It is very likely that the friend is called [Mag Lelpota].
"Nolin's tulips."
She turned around and put her chin on her folded fingers.
"Does it sound familiar?"
The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Selina has seen a lot of things through [Tombaye's relics], otherwise she would not be so friendly.
Ken finally let go of some of his guard.
From the time they met to the time he sat in the giant spider, he was always afraid of this [Revealer].
After all, the other party possesses at least one [Legendary] equipment, the magic he has mastered, the hidden cards, the connections he has made... it's unimaginable.
"Tsk tsk, hey, I didn't expect that even the topic needs to be found by a lady."
Silena started to complain again.
Ken waved his hand, but he didn't ignore it this time.
He told her about his encounter with Mag, including Burke's current work at Sandon Kaya.
