Chapter 266: Interrogation 101 (2)
It was late afternoon when Adrian arrived at Shinon’s place. With his armour gone, he needed something to replace it as soon as possible. Since it was unlikely he would receive another reward soon, he decided Shinon would be his best bet.
"I just hope he isn’t too busy with other orders," Adrian mumbled, walking through the gates.
Adrian, expecting the usual scene of people working under Shinon, was instead met with a surprising sight. All of them were huddled around a single workstation.
Usually, every artisan had their own workstation, which they used to perfect a craft, but this time, they were all gathered in one space.
[The higher entity, Creator of Deformed Perfection, can’t contain his excitement and urges the User to hurry and see what’s happening.]
Adrian read the notification and sighed. This particular entity was always in high spirits whenever he visited Shinon. But given his fascination with blacksmithing, Adrian discovered who the possible entity could be.
’...your love for smithing must be the reason Aphrodite keeps cheating on you, old man.’
Although the old man couldn’t hear Adrian’s words, it wouldn’t have affected him much if Adrian had told Hephaestus the same thing face-to-face.
After all, he was someone who didn’t hesitate to publicly shame the god of war for what happened between him and Aphrodite, and that was enough for the gods to know not to mess with him. So why would someone like him take offence to a mortal’s words?
<Master should keep quiet if he doesn’t want the golden trap treatment.>
’How do you know about that?’ Adrian asked, surprised that Lucina knew about Hephaestus’s revenge on Aphrodite.
