“Heee.... So then?” Asked Leo who walked limply leaving the tavern.
His memory was a little blurry over what had just happened inside. The cause is none other than because he enjoyed the dishes served too much. Make him forget himself and eat accordingly.
“That's right, Mr. Leo. According to Ferry's statement, Artra said that one of the chefs was a former cook at the palace of one of the nobles.” Clearly Selene while smiling so widely.
“That's it? Damn it..” Reply Leo while looking a little upset.
Selene who heard the answer from Leo looked puzzled. Why was his master even upset by this situation?
“Sorry but.... Why do you look upset, Mr Leo?”
“Why did you ask? Didn't you see? Former cook noble? Dumped for allegedly inserting poison? Then fell into slavery and I accidentally got it? Worse yet he looks happy with this job?
Especially if you are not lucky?! Damnit.... Every time I go through this, I always have a big bad luck after.” Reply Leo while continuing to pay attention to his surroundings.
Selene could only laugh at the answer. Because for him, this was the first time people would consider luck as a marker of misfortune.
Just a few steps they walked towards the inn. A little more they'll be there soon.
However, Leo's footsteps immediately stopped. His gaze became stiff.
Selene who saw him immediately stopped, confused about what happened to her Master. But the answer came shortly afterwards.
“What I said. Big bad luck will definitely come to me.” Said Leo while looking at the figure of a woman with braided purplish black hair. He was seen sitting on the porch of his inn drinking a cup of tea and reading a book.
“Feris...” Reply Selene with a pretty soft voice.
After preparing himself, Leo immediately walked towards his inn. Prepare to face whatever will happen when you meet with Feris.
Even before Leo climbed the stairs into the inn....
“How was your holiday in the village of Tarth? Everything running smoothly?” Asked Feris while still reading the book.
His face did not look at Leo at all. But he seemed to be able to find out exactly where his location was at this time.
“Selene, log in first.” Lego Whisper.
“But Sir...”.
“Take it easy. Leave it to me.”
After which, Selene immediately accelerated her footsteps and entered the inn. Leaving Leo alone with the person he considers to be the most dangerous.
‘Tap! Taps! Tap!’
Leo stepped slowly and sat down with 2 seats away from Feris. After he positioned himself well, Leo immediately asked.
“What do you want? Isn't the delivery limit still 10 days more?” Ask Leo.
“Hmm.... Don't like pleasantries, do you? Well, it doesn't matter to me. You must also still be tired after the trip so far.” Reply Ferris.
“Artemis told you?” Ask Leo back.
This time, Feris seemed to be slightly taking his eyes off the book that his right hand was holding. His eyes glanced sharply at Leo.
“No, I haven't even entered into.”
“Then how did you know?”
This time Leo began to cringe. It could have been that Feris did know that from Artemis and pretended not to ask her. But otherwise....
“Let's just say I have a lot of ears and eyes in this kingdom. Now, the main problem. Leo, did you see anything about 17 days ago?” Asked Feris with a sharp look.
“See something?”
Leo quickly caught what Feris meant. If a question sees something, it may still be confused.
But if the time span is narrowed specifically to that day alone....
‘Should I lie? No. gabe.... Making a big lie to him is too dangerous.... What's more..’.
Leo soon remembered Igor, who was happy with his simple life in the village. If Feris had known Leo was hiding something, he might have dug it up there.
And given his cold and stern demeanor, perhaps Feris would really do anything to his cause.
Is correct.
Just to see if he saw it or not, he actually came here alone. It was because only he could confirm it directly.
Hence....
‘Goddess, sorry.... But your message will be delivered next time. Igor.... You owe me.’ Leo thought as he prepared to answer.
He can no longer pretend to be thinking forever.
“I don't know what you mean by looking at something.... But about 2 Weeks ago, I saw something strange.” Reply Leo.
Hearing that answer, the two eyes of Feris who was usually always calm now look slightly widened even if only for a moment. He quickly pressed his emotions to stay calm.
“Something? Tell me.” Said Feris in a cold tone as usual.
“Piles of corpses under the moonlight, with a blood red-eyed Devil and one horn above all.” Obviously Leo with a calm attitude.
This time, Feris was no longer able to maintain his composure. He subconsciously opened his eyes wide for a while before closing his book.
To calm himself, he lifted the cup and drank it.
‘True too.... Did he bring that teacup from the outside all the way to this place? Surely Artemis or others prepared it, right?’ Leo thought in his heart while paying attention to all the movements of Ferris.
“Hmm.... Didn't she? It seemed that the scene could only be seen by the Clairvoyance owner. Besides you I also found someone who saw it. And he also has the Clairvoyance ability despite being just a squad captain.” Reply Feris at length.
“Then? What will you get by meeting me here?” Ask Leo briefly.
If Feris had indeed known that there were others who saw that view, then why? What will he be able to change with that fact?
Moreover, this conversation will not answer what appears in the vision.
It's just....
“I just want to know. Besides, I have been having needs in this city since 2 days ago. It just so happens that you came back here when I was in this city.” Reply Feris while standing up immediately.
“Wait! You wanna go? Just like that?” Ask Leo.
“Yes. That information is enough for me. What's more..”.
Feris was seen stopping his steps after walking away from this inn.
By turning his body and giving a fairly cold gaze, Feris continued his words.
“It seems that humanity will soon win this eternal war. Our expedition team saw a great civil war in the territory of the Devils. Right now we are still waiting for the right time while gathering strength....
But whoever wins the civil war, we will finish him in a wounded condition. So you just keep working on improving our weaponry during this preparation.” Clearly Feris was at length who then resumed his footsteps.
Hearing all these explanations, Leo was no longer able to speak. But if he does not speak at all as if he had known it, that is also a bad thing. It could be that Feris will put more suspicion on him.
That's why....
“A-what did you say?! You're telling the truth?! Are we finally able to live in peace?! Thank goodness...” Shouted Leo while putting on such a happy face. Not to forget his right hand looks stroking his own chest.
Feris who saw Leo's reaction looked slightly clicked his tongue.
‘Cih.... So he doesn't know anything, does he? I think with that high skill you're a hero, who probably knows about this. Huh.... You're really very lucky to have that S-level skill. But I'm sorry that I will still make the most of it for humans.
Although abilities.... Seems a little developed? I think I can improve again the quota after 3 months.’ Fierce thought as he stared intently at Leo.
So did Leo who is currently still staring at Feris. Pay attention to every detail of his movements behind the mask of someone who is happy for the big news.
‘That damn woman.... Did his ears and eyes really reach all over the place, even in the demon territory though?’
While Leo was still thinking about it, one of the maids from inside the inn was seen coming out the door carrying a wooden tray.
Leo had never seen his face. But somehow that woman could work in this place.
“Uuh.... You are Mr Leo? The woman before... She's gone?” Ask the waiter shyly.
“That's.” Reply Leo while standing up.
At that moment, he saw the servant take back the glass of Feris which still had a little leftover tea and put it on the tray. I mean to set the table.
‘So that's how you play, Feris..’ Leo thought in his heart while smiling that thinly.
