Book 3: Chapter 67: Spicy Scent and Deceit
'Take a left. Now go up those stairs in front of you. There, that door on your right. We are in there,' Sophie relayed.
'Thanks,' Lone replied just as he pushed open the door and entered the lobby area of Master Mezro'nan's tower.
He'd never actually seen Lady Carnation before so this was a first for him. The woman was sitting across from Sophie and Master Mezro'nan. The former has a scowl on her perfectly beautiful face while the latter was curled up on a sofa with a nervous but excited glint in his eye.
Lady Carnaration had a soft face with gentle eyes and a kind expression. Her hair was bright purple and was about a metre long save for her fringe which was perfectly straight and only covered her forehead. She was wearing a typical sundress, as was normal given the time of year.
"Ah, you must be the infamous Immortus the Immortal. It's a pleasu-" The bewitchingly gorgeous and voluptuous woman's smile cracked as pain flashed across her face.
Lone had nodded at first as he took a seat next to Sophie when he had felt some sort of effect trying its best to penetrate his Puzzle Locked Mind.
The moment he had detected her magic's attempt to worm its way into his mind he had resisted with all of his might unlike the times he had helped Stoner Heeth open the locks to renew his scripture magic bindings.
As soon as he had forced his locks to fight against the intruder instead of just harmlessly preventing its entry, it collapsed explosively and Lady Carnation stopped her greeting to wince. Of course, Lone had also earned a skill and a new magic affinity at the same time.
Since Lady Carnation seemed to be reeling and still collecting herself, Lone took a moment to go over his recent notification log, including the skill he earned from helping Scott and the magic he had obtained from master Mezro'nan.
