Hellbents
Chapter 117: The Eyes
The higher a person's level, the harder it is to raise. The law also applies to skill classes. Because of that, Ava needed almost a month just to make her observation skill into a 5th grade.
Many changes have occurred due to this increase. First, the side effects of using a skill that constantly becomes lighter. If he used to see the status window of 10 people without pause, his head was dizzy, but now he can check 20 people at once then he felt a pulse at the temple. The second, cooldown to use the function in seeing the skills that others have and their additional status is cut in half, so that now he can use the special feature twice a day. Last and not least, the usefulness branch of his skill increased. Ava can check other people's inventory. Although he could only see 3 slots at random, wouldn't all of these things evolve as his skill class continued to rise?
And because of this upgrade, Ava can see familiar artifacts in Duke Frost's inventory as well as his targets.
"A-ah, introduce my name is Wendy Koliupu," the brown-haired lady's mage frantically bowed respectfully.
"Wendy is very diligent and meticulous, so despite still being six months recruited, a great many-" The old mage eagerly accentuates the advantages of the people he carries.
Unfortunately, his intentions will not be realized.
"You, go ahead." The atmosphere that had just warmed back down to vibrate the body present in the room. Ellijah pointed at Ava's target.
"An-anu, forgive this young man if they-"
"Forward," Duke Frost cut the cold free defense of the old mage.
The group glanced at each other in fear, then their gaze turned to pity as it was directed at Wendy, the one who was summoned. But in the end the mages are an individualistic group. They immediately urged the co-worker to confront the Duke who looked like an arrogant noble. After all they gathered to look for advance so that personal project funds were raised, as well as the division head who met them, he said, because the more successful projects the greater the opportunity in the old mage to rise to office.
Both of Wendy's hands clenched tightly, trembling. He did not know what was wrong with his behavior, he deliberately hid himself among the presence of other mages. It was only when the division head intended to introduce them one by one, he opened his mouth, what he said was just an ordinary sentence even though it was a little stuttering at the beginning, nothing suspicious, right?
Ellijah stepped on her long legs, instantly shortening the distance. Without warning Wendy's hand was gripped. Consciously, a ring had been embedded in his index finger.
"Do you have any connection to the group behind the terrorist incident a week ago?"
"Nrou ..." Wendy was instantly deathly pale, her lips dry and cold sweat soaked her back.
There's no way he's getting caught now.
His presence in the royal magic tower never aroused suspicion. He has struggled to build a hardworking but inconspicuous image.
"Jawab," Duke Frost's orders were loud and unwavering.
"S-me-"
"If you're innocent, you won't find it hard to answer" Princess Eve, who had been silent, added pressure.
The division head along with the other members gasped, not expecting. Allegations spy!
"Wendy, answer!" The old mage who saw his leg fire. Because, if it is true that there are intruders in the division, their good name will be threatened, in other words, the research funds are dwindling.
"Not true!" Can't stand it, Wendy shouted.
Unfortunately, the electricity that is triggered automatically when someone lies instantly makes the woman sprawled on the floor, convulsing.
