Bab 587: Trial Time

The trial began to fade around them, and Karl wondered how the others might have fared. Not all of them would have easily entered the city from halfway up the mountain. There might have been an entrance at the bottom, or perhaps there were other spots in the area that they could have landed and searched.

When Karl's vision cleared, he was back on top of the temple, where all three clerics plus Thor were waiting for them.

"Oh, welcome back. We were wondering how long you would take." Tessa greeted them with a smile.

"I hope we didn't make you wait long."

The Archbishop chuckled and Lotus giggled as she lay curled up against Thor's side.

"You could say that. We've been back for nearly two days already."

Karl and Nacht turned to each other in confusion, wondering if this was actually part of the trial, and they weren't really out yet.

"Two days? We've only been in the trial for an hour and a bit." Karl asked carefully.
