Chapter 176: The Tin Knight and The Tower of Foresight (3)
“…”
Licht remained silent.
As a skilled mage belonging to the Tower of Foresight, he wasn’t engaging in a battle of wills with this suspicious fortune-teller… he was just dumbstruck by the woman in black’s beauty.
For this graduate student-like product who had spent most of his life buried in books and experimental equipment, the stark contrast of white skin and black veil before his eyes was too intoxicating.
As the beautiful eyes of the woman in black frowned at the continued silence, the green-haired maid standing beside her quietly laughed.
“Huhu, it seems you’re at a loss for words. Here, have some tea first.”
“Ah, um, t-thank you. The taste of the tea, no, the aroma is quite nice.”
Only after a teacup was placed in front of him did Licht realize the disgrace he had shown so far and hurriedly tried to manage his expression.
Given that he tried to evaluate the taste without even drinking it and belatedly changed his words, it wasn’t very effective.
If it were the usual Licht, he wouldn’t have put an unknown drink from a mysterious shop to his lips, but now he didn’t have the capacity to think that far.
As Licht gulped down the tea he didn’t even know the taste of as if it were water, the woman in black said, “I’ll ask again. What are you curious about that made you come here?”
A mage of the magic tower held a position equivalent to nobility in other countries. Yet, the woman spoke casually.
