Chapter 303: End of Summer (3)
How often does an ordinary person encounter mythical beings like the 'Twelve New Moons' in their lifetime?
Even if they did encounter such beings, would anyone believe it?
Jeliel had lived a life assigning monetary value to everything and encouraged capitalism. She wouldn't have flinched even if a legendary being from folklore appeared before her.
In her world, money was almighty. She couldn't trust anything unless she saw it with her own eyes and could assign a price tag to it.
This pragmatic and rational mindset had never led her astray, so she lived without doubting it.
It's often said that money can't buy happiness. Jeliel never believed that. The more money she had, the happier she felt.
However...
As the undisputed wealthiest person in the world, she controlled everything with her money. However, Jeliel realized today that there were things that money couldn't buy.
"Follow that path."
The voice of an old man echoed in her mind. It was undoubtedly the voice of one of the Twelve New Moons.
Despite meeting the existence that every mage in the world yearned for, it did not stir her emotions. She simply followed because she sensed a hint of hope from him.
