Chapter 161:
To celebrate obtaining the otherworld knowledge she had been longing for from that little cutie Lumina, Lady Tris decisively opened a bottle of “Frozen Moonlight,” a royal exclusive wine, to toast to her outstanding intelligence.
Although she didn’t know what kind of surprise her warrior Lumina would bring her, Tris had a feeling that she might soon make an effective breakthrough in her alchemy path that had stagnated for many years.
However, before she could even take a sip of this fine wine, the Computation Bead adorning her bracelet emitted an urgent sound.
Looking down, she saw it was a communication request from Murphy.
“Tsk, late at night, what is there for us single man and woman to talk about? That little fool,” Tris had a mind not to bother.
But she still put down the wine glass, lazily activated the communication, and was about to tease a few words when she heard Murphy’s weak voice coming from the other side:
“The Thorn grand duchess is at the door, come give me a hand quickly.”
“???”
Tris instantly widened her eyes, abruptly stood up, and the Nocturne scepter placed on the desk slid into her palm with a whoosh as she spread her five fingers. The Crimson Midnight cloak was also adorned on her shoulders.
