Chapter 363: Christmas
Of course, it was also possible that Chloe was not the Secret Witch, and the Hermit card had been placed in the gift by the Secret Witch.
Regardless of what was really going on, getting the Hermit card was a good thing.
Loren glanced at the Hermit card. Its front depicted a person covered by a cloth in a bustling marketplace, with the surrounding pedestrians ignoring him and going about their own business.
【Tarot Card - The Hermit】
Effect: Eliminates one's own or another's sense of presence.
Description: If I don't see it, it doesn't exist.
Judging by the description, the Hermit card's effect didn't seem particularly strong, even somewhat overlapping with the effect of Loren's black robe. But thinking that would be a mistake.
Whether it was the dragonhide of the Murmuring Dragon or Night Magic, what they could do was merely reduce one's presence. If someone paid special attention or used some detection magic, they could still be noticed.
The Hermit card's effect, however, was to *eliminate* presence. Even detection magic could not find it. That wasn't the most crucial part. The most overbearing effect of the Hermit card was its ability to completely erase someone's presence.
