"This ring?"
Lis saw the other party's gaze fall on the Teleportation Ring on his right hand, remained silent for a moment, then raised his hand to gesture at it.
"You mean this one?"
"Yes."
The young man smiled, nodding with golden eyes that conveyed a sense of closeness.
He took off the black silk gloves he was wearing, revealing a brass-colored ring on his hand.
To Lis's surprise, the style of the ring was very familiar to him, identical to the one on his own hand.
"This is a ring Mister Stephens gave me, so I was curious and sneaked past the barrier to have a look."
"Mister Stephens really has taken a fine disciple."
"Allow me to introduce myself, you can call me Silverster Ludwig, as my full name is a bit long."
Ludwig's lips curved slightly upward, as he methodically put on his gloves again.
"Hello, I am Lis Kain, a disciple of Fran Stephens."
