Chapter 1185: Taking Mask Off
Under normal circumstances, even if Sein had laughed out loud, the Faceless Mask—being a world-class secret treasure—would have perfectly concealed his reaction.
But right now, all of the Faceless Mask’s power was being used to suppress the extremely active and turbulent state of the lawful body inside Sein.
As a result, its concealment ability was not as strong as before.
That said, it was also because Sein himself still had limited control over the artifact. He could not yet bring out the full potential of something so powerful.
His laugh had not been loud, and he was in a far corner of the hall.
Most people would not have noticed such a small detail, but Aelid was a Rank Four mage. His powerful mental focus allowed him to instantly catch the brief trace of emotion that Sein had unintentionally revealed.
The Rank Four mage’s brow furrowed slightly as he turned his gaze toward Sein.
As if following his lead, most of the mages in the hall also turned to look in the same direction.
“Sein?” Selphy’s eyes lit up, and she waved cheerfully at him.
She had arrived at the tower a month ago, thinking she was already too late and had missed the gathering entirely.
To her relief, Grandmaster Feylis had arrived even later.
Selphy had the kind of personality that naturally drew people in. She got along well with many in the Verdant Flame Faction. She was also Aelid’s junior—both of them had been apprentices of the late Master Andres.
