Chapter 108 - 31. Veil of the Face Changer
"Fisher had walked a long distance from Saint Nali University to the nearest tram station. Earlier, he had called to inform Trandell to come to his rental home. It was Monday, and that guy would be off work by noon, probably planning to head to Pink Hall or another leisure facility in the afternoon.
With Trandell, an experienced patron, guiding him, Fisher could ask anything he didn’t know and also minimize risks. But before that, he needed to return home to fetch something. He didn’t want to go there directly or use some poorly done disguise—he had a more clever way of hiding.
As mentioned before, the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual now recorded two demi-human females. During his journey in the South Continent, he had obtained a lot from Rafael, including the Fermat Baha Dragon Court Language, Dragon Court Magic Book, and Dragon Court Ruins clues. Although Renie was not an Undead Witch, researching her had also yielded some rewards.
Renie’s research progress was far behind Rafael’s because of her nasty personality; Fisher could see strict defenses hidden beneath her absurd flirtations. Only Fisher could touch her body, otherwise no one else could even make contact. Hence, the progress in researching the Witch Species was slow.
Interestingly, despite having not researched Renie many times, the progress bar had increased quite a bit and had now surpassed fifty percent. Besides enhancements in Magic Circuit strength and Constitution, Fisher had also obtained two items from the Completion Manual.
Before long, Fisher got off the tram in Saint Nali District and after transferring at one or two stations, finally returned to his rental home.
It was just past noon. Martha had finished lunch and gone out to visit neighbors. Fisher casually grabbed some cold pumpkin porridge in the kitchen to deal with his hunger and then went upstairs to his room.
He lay on the floor and reached under the bed to pull out a heavy safe where the item he needed was sealed.
Twisting the combination lock and opening the safe, a thick, intense fragrance immediately diffused out. Fisher frowned and took out a substance as viscous as aloe vera gel from the safe, which constantly emitted silky glowing threads, almost as if it were alive.
This was the first reward obtained from Renie, "Veil of the Face Changer," a "relic."
