Vol 2. Chapter 24

I eagerly explained the mirror magic tool to Zahid.
When I told him it could only be used during the full moon because the Grand Temple was built on land overflowing with divine power, which weakened during that time, Zahid openly looked disappointed.
—Shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up.
He murmured, staring straight at me.
—I thought maybe I could see you every day now. I was even thinking I should hurry up, finish everything, and lock myself up in prison.
"Finish everything..."
I already knew why he’d infiltrated the Temple—Julian had told me.
"The map left by the former Duke Dyfenril... it really does seem connected to the High Priest’s weakness. Considering I went to the Holy Land of Arhad in the past, that place must be related somehow. But no matter how hard I tried for nine years, I couldn’t get any info. So I had no choice but to go inside myself and dig around."
I looked at Zahid’s calm face and asked, worried:
"It’s not dangerous, right?"
—Even if it is, I still have to do it. But I’ll come back alive, no matter what.
