Chapter 159: They have eyes everywhere
Time ticked by quickly, and soon the next session arrived. Damon was currently resting in a local tavern, tasting their ale. After his last evolution, his taste buds had changed slightly, and now even alcohol tasted quite good.
It wasn’t just alcohol. High-quality meat from evolved beasts also seemed to hit differently. A bite of roasted Ice Wolf thigh made his mouth water in ways it hadn’t before. He savored each bite, the charred meat practically melting on his tongue, rich with iron and mana-infused oils that left a warm, pleasant aftertaste.
He leaned back in his chair, enjoying his first break after continuously grinding for the last few hours. His hunt had yielded a net of 10 ice affinity points, 10 ice elemental resistance points, and 3 new skills. All in all, it was a productive day.
Damon continued savoring his little treat when the person he expected quietly arrived at the tavern. Sylvara eyed him and the two waitresses fawning over him, quite suspiciously. A look of mild disgust flashed past her face as she prepared to leave.
This was when Damon took out the small metal sphere from his spatial ring. "Would you look at my new toy? So shiny and so metallic..."
Sylvara froze, then hurried over to him. "Put that away. Now. Before someone else sees it."
"As you wish, your highness." Damon smiled and made the sphere disappear.
Sylvara scowled. "This isn’t a game, Damon. This cosmic ship is extremely important for our clan. I don’t know how you managed to find this thing, but could you please not parade it around?"
"Hmmm? What’s in it for me?" Damon shrugged.
