Chapter 605: Izzaro
Uncertain about how to continue, Sofia opted to just repeat a few words and hoped that it would naturally prompt the village chief to keep speaking.
“So early…” she repeated, faking a melancholic tone.
“It’s hard to believe it’s already been five years, isn’t it?”
“It feels like it was just yesterday,” Alith commented, trying to help Sofia out.
“Isn’t that right?” the village chief agreed, “if her Majesty were still here, she would have certainly found a better solution than the ritual…” he said dejectedly before stopping himself with a cough, “N- not to downplay the work of Sir Izzaro and our Sorcerers toward our salvation, we are eternally thankful,” he hurriedly added.
Sir Izzaro? I’ll need to remember that name. This ritual is really starting to sound like a bad thing… And salvation from what? The skin monsters? I guess they are safe from them, somewhat. Their cities outside, though…
“It’s fine,” Sofia answered, “We are well aware that this is no perfect solution, yet we have to make do with what we have…”
Hopefully this doesn’t come off as too humble, considering his reactions, it could.
Contrary to Sofia’s worries, the village chief simply nodded silently. “That we have… The blessed dagger is ready, and so should be the anesthetics. If you would confirm that the tower is in a good state, then everything is done.”
