Chapter 171
A sorceress of the Blue Mage Tower and someone who could contact the mountain assassins.
The fact that her true identity was a Snow Elf was hardly surprising.
“I never imagined I’d meet the Shadow Lord this way.”
Erge said as they crossed the city’s night streets, and Master Baro frowned.
“Oh, come on, that shadow nonsense never gets old, does it?”
“Is that something the Shadow Court’s Sword of Death would say?”
Sorceress Erge retorted, and at those words, Master Baro’s expression froze for a moment. The sorceresses of the Blue Magic Tower. And there was no doubt about the information network they possessed.
“Enough, Baro.”
Dale quickly cut Baro off and turned to ask Erge.
“Are we heading straight for the Desert of the Burning Sands?”
“If we enter the desert looking like this, we’ll be turned into sand ghosts before a few days pass.”
Master Baro interjected, and Erge nodded.
“But the Shadow Lord would surely wish to speak directly with the ‘Old Woman on the Mountain,’ wouldn’t he?”
“That is correct.”
“It seems there might be other matters he wishes to discuss besides Lady Sepia’s affairs.”
Dale remained silent, not responding to Erge’s words.
“However, it seems the Old Woman on the Mountain also holds a deep interest in the Shadow Lord’s existence.”
“……”
“That is, of course, assuming one can reach the summit of the desert mountain where she resides.”
