Bab 256: Out On The Lake

Half an hour later, Kir met Kordia at the pier directly beneath the lowest-reaching tower beneath the promontory.

Waiting at a boat was Terry, Lumin's butler, along with a device designed to display local mana flows.

"I think Lumin knows more than she lets on about spirits," Kordia said as soon as she saw the record player-sized device, which looked like a floating compass in a ball of energy, with a triangle-shaped indicator. "We should be able to follow this to any large sources of mana."

"Um... One problem though," Kir said, before giving Kordia a moment to notice the indicator was pointing right at her.

"Oh! Let me just..." She poked around the device, and the indicator wobbled away from her direction.

"I thought you might hide your mana instead," Kir said as he sat in the boat with her.

Terry took up the oars and started to row away from the pier in silence.
