Chapter 412 - 411: Bravery
While Sol pondered different skill combinations and whether they’d be worth it, Orla made her way to the dining table and sat beside Nocren.
Without even looking at him directly, she said, "After the Rite of Ascension is over, you should spend some time in the mountains and sharpen your skills."
"I—yes, Sister..."
Nocren couldn’t deny it. He had been getting sloppy, and he knew he could have done better. For someone of his level and skill, he should’ve been able to find a target at least fifteen levels above his own.
Seeing that her brother agreed, Orla let the matter rest. "Let’s just hope Father doesn’t notice what you brought... or you might get tossed out of the city tonight."
"He wouldn’t kick me out right before the Rite of Ascension... right?"
At first, Nocren didn’t think their father would go that far, especially not on such an important occasion. But then he remembered who they were talking about.
Retnak placed a hand on Nocren’s shoulder and gave him a solemn look. "Brother... I think you’re screwed."
"Dammit!" Nocren cursed as he glanced at the clock on the wall. "There’s still twenty minutes left! I’ll find something before then!"
