Chapter 183: Our Neighborhood Archlich (3)
After concluding the meeting with Erantel, the group settled down at Karnak’s usual inn in Derath City. Well, everyone except for Alius. He was destined to return to the temple and face a thorough scolding.
The most influential faith in Derath City was the Church of Hatoba, and Alius was none other than the top inquisitor responsible for the entire region. And, of all times, this disaster had to break out while he was absent.
Karnak and Varos clicked their tongues.
—Tsk, tsk. Poor Alius.
—His timing was just unfortunate.
Serati sent a telepathic message while leaning against the bed in her room across the hall.
—By the way, are you really planning to act as bait?
Karnak's answer came through the wall.
—It makes things easier.
Currently, the group was split into male and female quarters. Yet, communication was no issue at all. That was the beauty of telepathic magic. As long as they were within range, walls and obstacles meant nothing. Thanks to that, Serati could hold a private conversation while keeping an eye on Lapicel, who was fast asleep on the bed beside her.
Karnak continued.
—They're after me. Whether I play the bait or not, the result won't change.
