Before the Storm: Act 8, Chapter 12
Chapter 12
“Hey, you alright, Nemel? You’re lookin’ kinda crazy sitting in your little corner there.”
“Hm? Whatever do you mean, my lady?”
The sound of mad scribbling nearly drowned out the imperial scion’s absentminded reply. Liane eyed her warily from what was probably a safe distance.
“Y’know, just the whole crazy Wizard look you’ve got goin’ on right now…”
“What’s truly crazy is what we just heard,” Nemel didn’t look up as she continued writing. “Do you understand how many countries could be sacrificed just to gain the insights of a Dragon Lord?”
Liane shifted another step away.
“I don’t get it,” she said. “The Sorcerous Kingdom has plenty of powerful magic. You weren’t this excited about it.”
“It’s just as the Black Scale Dragon Lord said, my lady,” Nemel replied. “There’s magic, then there’s magic, and then there’s magic. If I had to make a comparison, seeing a high-tier spell cast by Lady Shalltear would be like looking at the biggest potato you’ve ever seen. What Queen Oriculus spoke about explains the existence of every potato that ever was, is, and will be. That pretty much makes the big potato small potatoes.”
