From one blink of an eye to the next, the group went from an old alley to a completely white room.
There was no better way to compare it than a large white room. With a small living room with white sofas and a small table of the same color.
In one corner was a bed that could easily fit three people and still have room. Its sheets and blankets were the same color as everything else.
With so much white, the strange black rectangle in the middle of the wall in front of the room stood out that much more. Below it was an empty long metal table.
'A television...' The red-haired man looked at the familiar object he never thought he would see again without knowing how to react; his expression showed no change.
"Is this some kind of hotel?" Maric asked, looking around.
"Do you really want us to answer that question?" Adryan walked over to the couch and sat down, placing an ankle on his knee and resting his cheek on his knuckles.
Out of curiosity, he taped over the place where he had kept Margwa's Heart, but it was now empty.
Maric's lips trembled slightly, and the trembling intensified as he noticed Sharron looking at him from the side.
Closing her eyes, the goth walked over to the sofa and sat gracefully on the one-seat couch.
Flora, for her part, looked around with a sideways smile. The redhead could easily notice the pride welling up in her, and he could only roll his eyes in amusement.
As that happened, the screen suddenly lit up, and Hermes began to be written live.
Congratulations on Completing the First Floor!
The letters were the color of a rainbow. At the bottom, a happy face with a little hat and a whistle appeared.
You are now in the Room, where you will always stop when you complete a floor and where the door to the next floor will be.
A small click sounded, and a few meters from the screen, a door manifested in the middle of the wall. It had the Number 1 in Hermes shining like stars.
You can always go back to complete the floor if you want to receive different rewards or if you would like to try another challenge of the same level.
Another click sounded, and a new door appeared a few steps away from the other one, but it did not have a number on it.
The door that just appeared will take you to the Second Floor. It will only activate the next time you return to the room, and you can challenge it!
Only once the current floor is completed can one move on to the next floor.
Now, if you like, you will be given the compass to find the Room once you leave.
It is a choice. You can refuse it if you like, but you will not be able to find the entrance without someone who has it.
Do you want to get the compass?
Holding back the corners of his lips from quivering, Adryan sighed quietly. "I want it."
As soon as he gave consent, a warm sensation formed on the back of his left hand. Curious, the redhead removed his glove and saw how a familiar purple tattoo had appeared.
Numerous runes and symbols were interconnected in a shifting pattern, indecipherable, and constantly changing.
The language of these was utterly unknown to him, and yet it seemed to change to a different one so fast that it made him dizzy within seconds of seeing it.
But, despite that, the information of what he had seen had implanted itself in his brain.
Rubbing his forehead with two fingers, Adryan grunted a little.
'November 18th...'
Shaking his head, he looked up, and the screen continued to type.
Returning to the successful completion of the First Floor...
Congratulations!!! You have broken the record for the fastest completion!!!!
Confetti fell on the screen, and the words constantly changed colors to rainbow colors, a grand celebration, and praise.
Please write down your names so we can put them on the list!
Of course, you can also use a nickname if you think it's better.
Suddenly, a transparent blue screen appeared before them, except for Flora.
'A keyboard? It looks like the creator of this Tower was a Pc fan...' Sighing a little, the red-haired man looked at the various letters of the Hermes alphabet in somewhat deep thought.
Placing his name was out of the question. As soon as he finished this round, everyone would know he was climbing the Tower; no one needed to know what floor he was on.
The decision then was obvious: a nickname.
But the question was, which one?
For a moment, Adryan considered placing a certain Russian weapon, but after thinking it over, he only denied it with a chuckle.
'If I used that, it would just be a simple anagram that was quickly discovered. Using AK-47 as a nickname might be fun, but come on! It's so obvious!
'Mmm'
Remembering what he was doing and the mission he had been given, enlightenment fell upon him.
If he was climbing the Tower, wouldn't it be fitting to connect to that?
With that in mind, his finger quickly typed in his nickname, which he would henceforth be known in the Tower.
Finally, his finger pressed the large Confirm button, and the keypad disappeared, replaced by a simple sentence.
Welcome, Ascender Stark.
'If I've already chosen to be a billionaire. Why not finish off and take the other one?' laughing a little, the screen disappeared, like Maric's and Sharron's.
The blue screen changed, and a huge list appeared. The people had different names but shared the same number at the top, a 1. At the end of each was a time.
The list glowed momentarily before changing, and four names were added in a row to present a group, all at the top.
1- Ascender Stark, Dark Doll, Malicious Eye, and Savior Of The J - 30 minutes and 40 seconds.
Inevitably, several eyes moved toward a confident white-haired woman who had suddenly found the empty wall to her left exciting and wasn't looking at them.
"And then you complain about my way of naming things," Adryan said blankly.
"Those were other times when I was immature."
"And has that changed?"
Finally, Flora turned and looked at him, her eyes deep and charged, "Yes."
"..." His eyebrows raised slightly, and the redhead raised his arms in surrender.
You got me there, girl.
As if tired of being ignored, the screen glowed a little brighter, drawing attention to itself again.
The reward will now be delivered. It will be adjusted as the Secondary Mission was found and completed.
As soon as that was finished being said, a small flash formed in front of everyone present, who now had a small table with a silver tray in front of them.
On top of his tray, Adryan looked somewhat lost at the objects on it, which ranged from a few stones to a yellowish piece of paper and an old book with a grape leather cover.
The first stone was dark brown, much like dried blood, and its surface appeared to have multiple mouths whispering incessantly.
The second stone was very different from the previous one; this one was utterly transparent and similar to amber. In its interior, multiple sentences in other languages were moving.
Adryan looked at these objects, somewhat stunned. The information about each was revealed in simple name holders with their names written in Hermes.
Listener for the first stone and Scrolls Professor for the second.
'These are characteristics! Sequence 8 and Sequence 6!' The red-haired man found himself a bit stunned, not having expected this.
'Surely these characteristics belonged to the Beyonders who failed to climb the Tower.'
Shaking his head slightly, he looked at the paper to the side, an idea already forming in his mind of what it might be.
Grabbing it, he read it.
As usual, it was all written in Hermes.
<>
Conspirator's Potion Formula.
Main Ingredients: A Black Hunting Spider's composite eye and a Sphinx's brain.
Supplementary Ingredients: One Black Hunting Spider's poison gland, 80 milliliters of Sphinx blood, 10 grams of Amber powder, 2 White Oak Fruits.
<>
"..." Adryan took a moment to read the paper. After 15 seconds without moving or saying anything, he carefully folded it and put it in his vest pocket.
That done, the red-haired man brought a hand to his forehead and began to massage it.
Right now, he wished he could feel his right hand to clench his fist in anger.
This would have been extremely useful two weeks ago when he had to die and cook his organs to advance to Sequence 6!
A long sigh left his lips, and he went into a small cogitation to calm himself.
'It's over... it's over...'
Ohoho, he planned to take revenge on his closet after all this.
Putting this episode aside but planning to watch it later, the red-haired man grabbed the last item on the tray.
The leather-bound book.
Despite its aged appearance, the texture was quite detailed and felt pleasing. The grape color only added to the overall elegance.
It didn't have a title, so he could just open it and see what it was about.
While he would usually take this kind of suspicious book to the City of Calamities to read it more safely, he could take a chance that the Tower's security would not fail here.
With that in mind, he opened the book to the cover.
An elegant title written in Hermes, beautifully lettered in black ink, welcomed him along with the soft scent of roses.
<>
Divination, Protection, and Curses through Mirrors.
Written by S.B. in the year 1090 of the Fifth Epoch.
<>
'This...' Adryan looked at the title in surprise.
A book about divination! Something that, despite his considerable knowledge of rituals, was something he was still far behind!
'Divination through mirrors... That's the way Witches use it. This book was written by one? That would explain the smell of roses and the exquisite handwriting...'
'When I master this book, I am sure I will be able better to use the power of the City of Calamities... That part about curses through mirrors is exciting...'
Nodding slightly, the red-haired man noted an appointment with this book later.
As he closed the book with a plop and put it away in his jacket, Adryan felt extremely satisfied.
The rewards were undoubtedly valuable; in his opinion, the best was the book, followed by the characteristics and formula.
He didn't take long to pack them all in containers and put them in his jacket.
After doing all that, he told the rest what he had obtained and asked about their gains.
"Magician's potion formula, a pair of eyes from a Psychiatrist, and some mystical ingredients," Flora commented, holding up a vial with the aforementioned eyes and a piece of paper.
She looked at the vial in her hands before tossing it to him. "Here, you can use it as a replacement for the Dragon Mirror eyes for that brat."
Catching the vial, the redhead looked at its contents momentarily before putting it away. "Thanks."
"Hum."
Maric held up a piece of paper and a book. "Devil's potion formula and a book on different methods of torture."
The redhead paused for a moment before nodding.
"...We can use the book; what would you like to do with the formula?"
Maric sprouted his fingers and burned the paper with his spirituality. Then he looked at the rest and said, "The fewer devils in the world, the better."
"Well said."
His eyes then fell on Sharron, who held up a blackish, burnt book with both hands. "The Characteristics of a Midnight Poet, its Formula and a book on various ways to prepare talismans of medium-high level."
Adryan whistled slightly. His eyebrows raised in appreciation.
The profits had been highly juicy!
'From the looks of it, it's much better to complete the Tower in a group than alone. Not only is the reward much more significant, but it's much safer.
'Provided there is trust, of course. Otherwise, once outside the Tower, one would have to watch their back.
Could that be a way of spreading knowledge about the Tower? That way, more people come and try to climb it?'
Of course, the red-haired man wasn't taking the gains now as the common one.
They had completed the Hidden Mission, which, according to Flora, further improved the quality of what they got.
'Also...' Patting the various containers on his chest, Adryan frowned slightly.
Everything they had gained benefited them in one way or another, either themselves or people they knew.
'It seems the Tower has a certain way of seeing information about a person... And it seems that consent is once again affecting...'
The Tower could read information about him despite Hunter's Hallow being there.
He was sure of that because of the Listener's characteristics.
Until now, he had never told any living being that he planned for Serena to take that path.
Putting aside the issue of his consent, the red-haired man returned to the bounties.
"Would you like to leave them with me?'
Sharron nodded, "Please."
With more things to take to his Calamity Closet. The group finally had everything to leave.
What the white-haired woman said in Ancient Hermes settled the question of how.
"Exit!"
The table under the screen disappeared, and a white door appeared. This one was huge, easily fitting all four of them through simultaneously.
The screen lit up, and the words Exit were written on it.
"Once we get outside, I want to talk to you two for a while. You don't have anything to do today, do you?" Adryan said, looking at the gothic duo, who shook their heads.
They walked calmly to the door and opened it; the same darkness that strange hallway greeted them.
They had stepped into that darkness when Adryan was suddenly pulled back with force, tripping him.
By mere reflex, he twisted his body and fell over the one who had pulled him.
Thump!
His hands broke his fall, placed on either side of the head of a stunned Flora whose face was inches away from him.
For a moment, their breaths mingled, and the redhead couldn't help but laugh a little. His cheeks slightly reddened.
"Wow, Flora, don't you think it's a little fast for this?"
"Get off me." Instead of answering his question, Flora demanded, her body frozen and her eyes twitching slightly.
This hadn't been part of the plan!
Wanting a little revenge for the scare she'd given him and being knocked to the floor, Adryan decided to play a little.
Licking his lips, his head lowered slightly, their noses now touching. "Oh? And why would I do that? I finally got you right where I wanted you~"
Flora began to tremble, her eyes moving side to side in alarm.
"Princess-"
Chuckling a little, the red-haired man touched the woman's neck and softly sniffed, smiling at the lavender. "We're alone now. Why don't we make up for some lost time?"
"W-wait- Ah!" her complaint died in an embarrassed moan, with her eyes widening in shock as she felt her neck being gently kissed.
With extreme nerves and her heart on the verge of exploding. The Jacob placed both hands on the man's shoulders and stuttered in alarm. "Wait- Adryan- not yet!"
"Okay." With that simple reply, the red-haired man jumped to his feet, leaving a highly shaken Flora in shock.
"Wh-what..." Stunned, the Jacob looked up and watched as a blushing Adryan winked at her.
"I'm a No is No advocate, so when you're ready, let me know. I promise you a good time~"
Flora blinked a little confused, before a vein exploded in her forehead and neck. "That was too much, even for you! Playing like that with a Lady, where's your education?!"
She had never felt so humiliated!!!!!
Adryan smiled gracefully and bowed softly, extending a hand to the woman. "It would only be a game if I planned to stop, my Dear Worm."
The woman's mouth hung. Her face went from glowing red with fury to red with embarrassment.
"W-you w-want to sa-say!?"
His smile grew a little, turning flirtatious. Adryan nodded with a twinkle in his eye.
"Not to be vulgar. Let's say that bed and the various couches would have seen quite a bit of action~"
Flora looked at him with her mouth half open. Her eyes moved to the outstretched hand, much larger and bigger than hers, to the arm and up the man's body that easily covered hers completely.
At this exact moment, she felt something she hadn't in a long time.
It was safety.
Swallowing saliva, she took the hand as a fleeting thought passed through her mind.
Maybe she shouldn't have asked him to stop...
Sitting across from each other on the white couches, the red-haired man looked at the white-haired woman with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
While she tried to hide it, he could easily notice how the tips of her ears were slightly red.
He was sure it was the same as his own, but that didn't matter much to him.
He also wasn't worried about getting the couch dirty with dirt, zombie brains, and blood because as soon as they walked in, all the filth they acquired was wiped off.
Whoever had designed this room, it was clear that they didn't want to make it dirty.
While Adryan was thinking about the possibility of the Cleaning Freak, Flora took that moment to speak.
"We don't have to worry about them noticing our absence. Once five minutes pass, we'll be kicked out of here and appear at their side as if we were never separated."
"Well, isn't that convenient?" Adryan raised an eyebrow before laughing, a little pleased. "And might I know the reason for that move earlier? Being sassy is more my thing."
"And I would never be; unlike you, I have a pride to maintain," Flora grumbled grimly, her eyes looking deep into his.
Adryan rolled his eyes slightly but didn't take his attention away from her. " It must be a good thing if you were willing to ruin a bit of that supposed pride."
The woman nodded, the grimace shifting to a deep, thoughtful look.
After a few seconds in silence, she finally spoke, "Since we entered the Tower, have you felt anything strange in your body?"
Adryan's expression did not change, but his smile was gone. He gave a slow nod, "I have noticed it."
Flora closed her eyes, and a soundless sigh escaped her lips. Her hands lifted and rested in her lap. After a moment of thought, she opened her eyes. "It's because of me."
'No shit Sherlock.' No one aside from a certain clown would understand the reference, so the redhead merely said it in his mind. Instead, a slight "Oh?" left his lips, accompanied by a raised eyebrow.
Flora looked at him for several moments in search of a reaction, but seeing that was all he would say, she decided to continue.
"Your life force has just been split in half... Well, half is a lot to say. Rather...
"By separating from your body, I took 70 years with me."
A deep silence fell in the room; the fall of a needle would sound like a war drum.
Adryan covered his face, and a long, exasperated sigh left his body.
'Damn it, Hunter's Hallow! What the fuck were you thinking doing that? 70 fucking years! What the fuck?!'
Did that mean he would die in his 30s?!
Another exasperated sigh, not at all exaggerated, left his lips until his lungs were empty. "You live up to your sequence, no doubt about it."
"You don't seem as angry as I expected," Flora admitted, somewhat surprised. "I can't help but be a little disappointed. So little do you appreciate your life?"
"I like living, thank you very much, and while I'm not angry, I am somewhat annoyed." Adryan snorted a little.
And who wouldn't be? He just lost an entire life!
"So now what? Did you definitely get your body back, or is it just a special occasion every time you enter the tower?"
"I'm not too sure about the former..." the white-haired woman mumbled with a flat face before shaking her head. "I wouldn't know until I get out, but it's most likely the former."
Adryan nodded, "Congratulations on getting your body back, by the way."
The woman's brow furrowed elegantly, "Is that all you're going to say?"
She already knew the man was weird, but to know that not only did you lose 70 years of life, but that the culprit was in front of you and showed no reaction...
"If I hadn't known what would happen, I would care more, but not really. Since you made your home in my body, I knew I would have to give a part of my life to get you out." Rolling his shoulders, the redhead admitted honestly.
He knew this thanks to the 'Fool's Dear Poet' and the Elder inside him.
"You already knew?" White eyebrows raised slightly, surprise clear.
He nodded.
"Of course," Adryan said matter-of-factly, then sighed in defeat. "But it was supposed to happen when I advanced to Sequence 4, not when I'm Sequence 6."
Flora was about to retort, but at the last moment, she clammed up. The man's words made sense as she thought about them, just as they explained her current problem.
'But even so... Having 'His' Blessed give up a part of his life to get my body back... That's something...' Biting the inside of her cheek gently, she stopped that dangerous train of thought.
She had no right or power to question the decisions of the Scarlet Monarch...
Finally, the question that caused her most discomfort left her companion's lips, who, as was now customary, asked in the worst possible way.
"So Doc, how much time do I have left?" Adryan consulted bored, one eyebrow raised with interest.
Flora didn't hold back a grimace at how the question was asked but still answered, "A maximum of 10 years and a minimum of 5."
While the redhead's life force was quite large, that meant nothing in the face of human mortality.
"Whistle. So little? So I'll become a frail old man in 2 years? A dried-up grape?" His eyebrows raised, and he couldn't help but ask.
"That would be if your body had time to age, which it doesn't." Flora shook her head. "You'll continue to age as you normally would have, but once your life energy runs out, you'll simply die."
"At least it'll be an open casket, then." Adryan sighed and shook his hand in boredom.
"No matter. That problem will be solved once I ascend to Demigod; my life will be extended, and this will simply be a joke we'll laugh about in the future!"
Noticing how Flora looked at him in disgust, the red-haired man couldn't help but laugh softly.
Tilting his head to the side, a teasing smile graced his lips, his eyes sparkling mischievously, "Someone's worried about me~"
"Someone has to see what's in that head of yours, but I'm afraid they'll lose control if they peek so much." Flora snorted defeatedly.
She didn't doubt the man would ascend to Demigod. Even if she didn't count his ridiculous speed of digestion, how he acted, and the risks he was willing to take to do so...
He had the support and blessing of a God!
Reaching the level of a Demigod was the absolute minimum he HAD to achieve!!
Laughing some more, Adryan raised his hands in the air.
"Oh, come on, Miss Worm. I'd think you'd be happier once you got your body back, but here you are, hurting for things that don't matter.
"Isn't your sequence Parasite? You just acted like a perfect one! Without me noticing you 'took' all my life, your potion must have digested a bit at least, didn't it?"
The grimace got a little bigger, and the blood rushing to her ears increased.
The redhead was a little confused for a moment until the realization hit him. "Oh, right... My bad."
From the moment Flora had entered him, she had never been a Parasite but a Prisoner.
It also didn't help matters that he had never seen her as one. If questioned, he would admit that their relationship was far more Symbiotic than Parasitic.
"Tch. Never mind, besides, I've long since digested my potion so it would have been a waste." Flora looked away for a moment.
"So that's how it is, huh?" Adryan mumbled absent-mindedly.
"That means you got all your strength back?"
She shook her head slightly. "I wouldn't know for sure until I leave the Tower, but my condition is certainly much better."
A smile graced his lips, "I'm glad to hear that."
Flora's eyes flashed accusingly, "You plan on making me work harder, don't you?"
A playful wink was all she got on the subject.
Rolling her eyes, she murmured, "Of course."
Leaning forward a bit, the redhead looked curiously at the woman. "There's something I'd like to know, Flora. You got your body back and were in the perfect place to escape. Why didn't you?"
The white-haired woman's expression became flat and expressionless, with a raised eyebrow, which seemed to say she had just heard the stupidest question in the world.
"Really?"
Not only was she still serving a sentence, but she had heard the voice of the God who condemned her, a God who, by the way, always answers prayers made to 'Him'.
Oh! And how could she forget that she had also prayed 'His' honorific name!
Even if she escaped, where would she go?! She would be easily found even if she were on the other side of the world!
At the question, the red-haired man gave only one answer.
"Eyup." With the flick of his tongue and a mischievous smile.
"..."
For 15 seconds, they stared into each other's eyes in awkward silence.
Rolling his eyes, Adryan stood up from his couch and stretched a bit, his back thundering with several satisfying cracks. "I think we had a good time here, don't you think, Miss Worm? Let's get back now."
Flora nodded and gracefully rose from her seat and walked over to him.
Before walking through the door to the exit, the redhead bent down slightly and whispered into the white-haired woman's left ear.
"Maybe you want to raise the collar of your dress a little more~"
Confused, Flora didn't understand what the man was referring to.
Turning to look at him, she immediately noticed his sweet smile and his eyes on her neck.
Realization hit her, and her mouth hung open a bit.
"You didn't..." She murmured incredulously, her cheeks warming.
Quickly, she approached the white wall. Its material was similar to ceramic and was so clean and shiny that she could use it as a mirror.
Tilting her head slightly, Flora pushed her hair aside with trembling fingers, and her pupils shrank upon seeing the red mark on her neck. Right where Adryan had kissed her.
That jerk had left a hickey on her!
So fast that it almost tore her dress, Jacob lifted the dress collar and covered her neck as best as possible.
With cold, shining eyes, she turned to look at the man, "You have no shame."
"I regret nothing." Adryan laughed a little.
Flora's eyebrow twitched briefly, and a fire burned in her heart.
This wasn't going to stay like this!
So, quickly walking beside the man, looking at her amused, she stood before him.
"Oh?" Adryan looked at her playfully.
The height difference was considerable—he measured 1.88 and she only 1.70—so she decisively grabbed the man's collar and pulled it down.
"Wow! It is not necessary to resort to-"
Adryan was surprised by this, but before he could ask what was happening, soft lips connected with his neck.
His body froze, and his mind short-circuited. After long 7 seconds, a red-faced Flora separated from him with a smile that mixed pride and embarrassment.
"We're even." With that said, and without letting go, she walked through the door, pulling him along.
His entire vision turned white for a moment as he passed through the darkness that was the door, but it was only momentary; in the blink of an eye, he found himself back in the hotel room where they had entered the tower.
To his right was Flora, while Sharron and Maric were a few steps ahead. Sitting on a simple wooden chair was Uron, who looked somewhat bewildered as he watched them, holding a brown-covered book and a steaming cup of tea in his hands.
"That... was quick." The Wise Owl admitted, putting down the book he was reading and standing up.
"Congratulations, I didn't expect you to finish the floor so... quickly..." The man's gaze passed over each one until it stopped at Asryan, his words dying as he looked at his neck.
An eyebrow was raised. "It looks like it was a rather special floor, huh?" Uron said.
Sharron and Maric also turned to look at each other, and inevitably, their gazes fell on the duo.
More specifically, on the evident purple kiss mark on the neck of the redhead, who had a stony expression but a slight blush on his cheeks.
Then, their gaze moved to the only one with that color lipstick.
Flora's expression was also stone-cold, but her ears were as red as apples.
Interestingly, they noticed that the collar of her dress was higher than before.
Sharron's blue eyes sparkled slightly, and the intensity of her gaze increased a bit as Maric looked at them incredulously.
'These two?!' Wasn't it a joke that they were married?! His gaze fell to their fingers, but there was no ring.
Not married, a couple?
Cough Cough
Everyone's attention returned to the serious Uron, whose cheeks had taken on a reddish hue. "Putting that aside... I repeat, congratulations on completing the first floor of the Tower, and in record time as well."
"Mr. Adryan, if you could please step forward."
Wanting to get this over with quickly, Adryan positioned himself at the front of his group while trying to wipe the mark on his neck with his left hand.
Flora looked at that and had to keep the corners of her lips from rising.
With the redhead in front of him, Uron reached into his vest and pulled out a small medallion no bigger than an adult's palm.
"Normally, and following protocol, you would have to undergo a rigorous examination and sign several contracts before even considering this. But, again, you are a particular case." The man admitted, looking at the medallion before extending it to him.
"I welcome you to the Wise Owls, Mr. Adryan."
Holding back the urge to roll his eyes at this, the redhead grabbed the medallion and nodded.
"Thank you, I think." He said while examining the object in his hands, ignoring how the dark-haired man's eyebrow twitched.
Now that Adryan looked at it more closely, it seemed more like a plaque similar to a book than a medallion. It was made of pure brass and had a small owl engraved. The owl's wings covered its snout but left its eyes free, which seemed to contain immense knowledge.
Behind the owl, illuminated by it, was the omniscient eye on an open book, the symbol of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
Uron closed his eyes for a moment before nodding. "We will contact you to assist on some important missions, but that will not be your primary job.
"Your main mission will be to climb the Tower."
"Many are interested in reaching the top. Can I ask why?" Adryan responded while putting the badge in his pocket.
Uron looked at him in silence for 2 seconds. "Just focus on doing what you're told, Mr. Adryan."
"Before finishing this. While you are already a Wise Owl along with your team, you will be the one who bears all the responsibility if anyone commits a crime. Don't forget it."
The superior then turned to look at Flora. "We will make some documents for your new identity, Mrs. Flora. You should receive them this Sunday."
"Understood." The white-haired woman nodded elegantly.
Uron looked at the rest. "I didn't plan for you to finish the floor so quickly, and I still have several business matters to attend to. You are free. You can leave."
Adryan did not immediately heed what the man said but instead prepared another altar and stored everything they had obtained in the Tower in the City of Calamities. Taking advantage of it, he also took out Creeping Hunger and changed his appearance.
After that, the group left the hotel and headed to the place where the gothic duo was staying.
They still had a lot to talk about.
