Chapter 600: Fisherman
“You sure are making faces I don’t see you make often,” Alith told Sofia.
“Unpleasant memories. The last time I saw that color as light I lost my dog.”
“Right, that thing on a black spire, right? The lighthouse is pretty similar to how you described it, now that I think about it… Do you think there’s also a tentacular envoy up there operating the thing?” Alith asked.
Sofia was more used to spreading her mana senses far and wide rather than high up above herself, but she still managed to barely reach the top of the lighthouse.
“There’s nobody,” she told Alith, “the big gem making the light is like an empty hole, and so is the light itself. But beyond that, it’s about what I would expect a lighthouse to be like…”
“Really? Let’s go up, then. We should still be careful in case the light is dangerous, but I’m curious to see how it is up there,” Alith suggested, pointing at the door.
“The gem is at the top, on the outside. We could just jump up there.”
Alith scratched her head, “I don’t know if it’s because I cannot see as far as you can, but I don’t feel too safe jumping or flying up right now…”
Sofia answered with a nod, kicking open the thick rusted iron door of the lighthouse which had been barely holding up. The interior was quite dark but that was remedied by Sofia taking off her helmet.
