Chapter 171 - 170. Unexpected Encounter
Lily sobered up a little as she walked, her mind slowly clearing from the lingering haze. She recalled how they were engulfed by clouds in the last trial, clouds that had an intoxicating effect, making them feel drunk and disoriented. She glanced at Isadora, who was still in a kissing posture, eyes closed and lips slightly puckered, completely oblivious to what was happening around her.
"She’s probably letting out her charms unconsciously. And since I was drunk, I was affected," Lily muttered to herself, realizing what had happened. Though she wasn’t fully sober, her sharp mind was piecing things together.
"Stop releasing your charm," Lily said, lightly tapping Isadora on the forehead.
Isadora blinked, nodded, and slowly came out of her daze, though she still swayed on her feet.
"Now, put on some clothes," Lily instructed, noticing Isadora’s state of undress.
Isadora nodded again, but instead of putting on her clothes, she began to remove her innerwear, as though her fogged mind was interpreting Lily’s command incorrectly.
"Hey, I told you to *put on* some clothes!" Lily exclaimed, grabbing Isadora’s hand to stop her from stripping completely.
After a few frustrating moments, Lily managed to get Isadora dressed properly. They continued their journey to the next area, where both women, though still somewhat drunk, were now in better shape.
Finally, they arrived at the next trial. Isadora stumbled a bit, her arm clinging to Lily as they approached a slate with a question written on it: *"How many letters are there in the Ancient God Language?"*
There were floating platforms with numbers inscribed on them, clearly meant to be the answer to the question.
Lily read the question aloud in a half-drunken state. "How many letters... are there... in the Ancient God Language?"
