Lu Cang accepted the ring, smiling brightly. "It's fine. I'm in no hurry."
A diviner's words weren't entirely unbelievable, after all.
It really was a good omen accompanying Supreme Auspicious.
This reward really made him feel that his efforts had paid off. He'd go shopping today.
Now that he had money, he should definitely indulge in some revenge spending.
He'd also see if there was any equipment a Death Priest could use.
Oh, right...
Lu Cang suddenly remembered what had happened with Mece.
Never mind. He'd talk to Iz about it first.
The whole thing just felt strange.
He'd been too exhausted the day before yesterday and had gone straight to bed... Then they'd celebrated all night yesterday. He'd put it off until now. He should get this nagging matter cleared up first.
Back at the hotel.
He went to Iz's room.
Iz hadn't been at the tavern early that morning. Instead, he'd gone straight back to the hotel.
"Come in."
Iz seemed to have known Lu Cang would come looking for him.
He'd already prepared tea for Lu Cang.
"Iz, about Mece..."
Iz nodded. "Actually, the day you told me about him, I searched all of Rhein Town."
"He should have left already."
Lu Cang asked, "Who exactly is he?"
Iz paused. "Kumiloni told you about Spiritual Pollution. Thirty years ago, during the blood sacrifice that shocked the world, a mad mage sacrificed three billion people. Do you remember who he was?"
Memories of what Kumiloni had said came back to Lu Cang, growing clearer by the moment.
"That mage was a genius who awakened the mage class at the age of nine. Before the blood sacrifice, he had always been a kind lord of the Mece domain."
The lord of the Mece domain.
Mece!
"That was him!"
