Bab 465: Give You a Gold Coin for Compensation

Mage Tower

Bryant's arrival was unexpected but also made sense. It would have been stranger if the High Elves had no reaction to Link stealing the island.

After a pause, Link smiled. "The weather's nice today, with the night wind bringing the fragrance of flowers. How about we walk down the street?"

Bryant shook his head. "The mortals on the street are like ants. It's boring. How about we go to the rooftop of your Mage Tower? Just the two of us?"

"Sure." Link nodded and signaled with eyes for everyone to stop worrying. He reached his arm out in invitation. "After you."

Bryant stood up and started up the spiral staircase around the wall of the Mage Tower. Link followed him. He didn't look guarded; he seemed prepared.

At a turn on the first level, Bryant stood saw Eliard at the corner. He glanced at him, did a double-take, and his eyes lit up. He shook his head and sighed. "What talent. It's a pity he's staying with the humans."
