Chương 42: The Hall of the Luminous, Part Seven

"Uh, it was this place, right?" Neve asked herself as she stood outside what she hoped was Minerva's home. 

She tapped on the front door twice. Some footsteps shuffled behind it and the door opened a while later. 

Ahlakan stood before Neve, with a raised brow. 

"Hey," Neve greeted her. "Just wanted to get some rest before I head over to the Infested Hall again. Can I?" 

Ahlakan took a moment to consider her words before nodding. 

"Sure." 

The girl stepped aside and Neve walked past her. 

As Neve walked to the stairs, however, Ahlakan spoke up. 

"Excuse me," she said, a little quietly. 

"Yeah?" 

"Are you truly capable of purifying the Infested Hall?" 

"Yes," Neve replied quickly. This NPC curiosity in her had gotten a little annoying already.

Even outside of the Final Challenge, with actual humans around, Neve preferred to simply be allowed to go through her work undisturbed.
