Capítulo 859: Inviting Shalen Onboard

"Thank you for letting me in, Adept Eren."

Shalon spoke with a vibrant smile on her face. She looked at Eren coyly and accepted his invitation to sit on the plush couch the caravan had as part of its lavish interior.

"My name is Shalen Craft. I was heading towards the city of Ainari but my carriage was destroyed by a wild D-Rank mana beast. Just when I thought I would have to go back to the city of New Beginnings, I saw your caravan approaching and thought of asking for help.

I hope I am not being too much of a bother."

Shalen stuck with her rehearsed lie that was mixed with a bit of truth. On paper, she was not associated with the Escalon guild. So she could give her real name. Plus, she wanted Eren to know her real name so he could associate it with the top-ranked holder in the Test of Bravery conducted inside Minerva's Utopia. With association and familiarity, one was known to let their guard down after all.
