Chapter 520: No Choice but to Die!
“You didn’t see the layer of dirt I scrubbed off just now.”
Ashe shrugged. “Last night, I was rolling around in the rain, fighting with the Sanctuary. I was filthy and exhausted. Even if the Four Pillars Cult barged in, or if the gods themselves came after me, I’m still having this bath!”
Though Igor was also enjoying the bath, he couldn’t help but say, “If we could use this time to find an escape route…”
“Escape? How?” Harvey put down his plate, belching contentedly. “Don’t be fooled by the emptiness here; there are thirteen sorcerers on guard outside, one of them a Sanctuary Sorcerer. Even if you wanted to pee, they’d send someone to hold it for you. Where’s your chance to escape?”
“I’m a mental sorcerer skilled in the Dominance Sect,” Igor said coldly. “I never need someone to leave gaps, and a Con Artist never counts on someone not guarding their wallet.”
“But how many can you control?” Harvey replied nonchalantly. “And can you control a Sanctuary? Besides, the Four Pillars Cult has likely surrounded the Tribulation Fire Chapel. Any escape route has surely been blocked. Ashe’s suggestion is correct-rather than racking our brains for a strategy, it’s better to relax in a bath, recharge, and wait for fate to serve us a feast.”
“Interesting. Usually, I’m the one who bathes the most often; you usually use embalming as cleaning. Now you’re aware of the benefits of a bath?” Igor laughed in exasperation. “Ashe, as the First Gospel, will undoubtedly attract the highest level of attention, but you won’t. You clearly have the ability and opportunity to find a way out instead of countering my suggestion with nebulous values!”
“You’re too scared of dying,” Harvey shook his head. “You weren’t mentally prepared, so why did you come along? Regret is a blemish on your profession as a Con Artist, isn’t it?”
“And you’re too eager to die. But as a necromancer, I can understand that-who wouldn’t want to soak in embalming fluid?” Igor’s voice was full of sarcasm. “I didn’t intend to come; I just got dragged into this while trying to save Anfel.”
