章節 603: Prelude To The Journey

[The Next Day]

Rey and Esme stepped out of the hall of the Royal Council, both with satisfied looks on their faces.

They glanced at each other and even let out slight giggled—almost as if they were little children. 

The outfit Esme wore was akin to her preferred form of dressing for a long journey. A long white cloak, lined with minimal shades of blue but more of gold this time. The long robe flowed behind her, and while it looked a little big, its comfort was unmatched.

In her right hand was a staff that slightly resembled gnarled wood. It was dark brown, growing closer to the color black. It was a gift, courtesy of Ater, who called it a prototype Mage Tool that he and the Reaper Group had been working on for some time.

Apparently, she was meant to use it for a test run during her journey with Rey. Plus, it would also serve as a form of advertisement to the Elves if they ever saw her use the staff and marveled at the power.
