The house was still the same house, and the door was still the same. The people were still the same people, and Moroes butler welcomed Karen inside.
After not seeing each other for several years, this place Karen feels both familiar and strange at the same time. Familiarity means that the people and things here have not changed at all. Strangeness means that I feel that everything is new, as if I have come here for the first time.
Moroes brought Karen to the living room, and then asked the maid to entertain Karen. He also went to call the practicing master, Nielas. Aegwynn's husband.
The maids responsible for entertaining Karen are all old people, and they also know Karen. They know Karen's preferences very well, and they even chatted with Karen. It made Karen regain a little bit of familiarity.
Not long after, footsteps came from outside, Aegwynn's husband Archmage came. The maid felt ready to leave. When Aegwynn's husband came in, she bowed and went out, giving time and space to the two of them.
"You guys, you've been gone for several years and you're finally willing to come back?" Aegwynn's husband expressed his dissatisfaction with Karen's absence for several years and no news at all.
"Hey, stop talking, I'm stuck in one place. I just came back, and I'm coming to see you as soon as I come back. Is there anything else I'm not satisfied with?" Karen explained.
"How's it going? What did you gain from going out this time?"
"It's nothing, I just got promoted to a higher level."
"What? You were promoted again so soon?!" Karen came over to say goodbye before. Aegwynn's husband thought he had just reached a bottleneck. He went out to adjust his condition and look for opportunities. He thought he was ready when he came back this time and was preparing for promotion. Then he knew that Karen had completed his promotion.
In just a few years, he was promoted from senior to master level. This talent is really good. Aegwynn's husband still doesn't know that Karen's true identity is High Elf, otherwise it would be even more surprising.
As if he was not sure whether Karen had really advanced, Aegwynn's husband released his mental power to sense Karen's strength.
Suddenly, Aegwynn's husband paused, quickly retreated, and at the same time took out his weapon and pointed it at Karen.
"You are not Drew, who are you?" Aegwynn's husband asked Karen seriously.
"It's me? What's wrong with you?" Karen didn't react for a moment. It was fine just now, but it suddenly changed. I still remember that when I was at Antonidas's house, after I lifted the transformation effect of Orb of Deception, Antonidas also looked like this.
Orb of Deception? Could it be that the effect has disappeared? Karen looked at it and found it was not there. The effect of Orb of Deception is very powerful and cannot be seen through by people below the hero level. The only one that has been seen through so far is Aegwynn.
Wait, Orb of Deception is only effective for people below the hero level. Doesn't that mean...
"Have you been promoted to hero?" Karen said to Aegwynn's husband in surprise.
"That's right, I didn't expect it. I have been promoted to the hero level. If you don't explain the matter clearly, you will never leave here alive." Aegwynn's husband was actually worried in his heart. He had just been promoted to the hero level not long ago, and he has not yet become familiar with and mastered the power of the hero level. It is hard to say how much of the hero level strength he can exert.
The person opposite him miscalculated his own strength. Instead of showing an expression of miscalculation, he showed an expression of joy.
Could it be that after he was promoted to hero level, he would be more beneficial to the other party? Could it be that the other party had a way to get rid of him?
That's not right. It seems that the other party is a master-level player. Is there any way to defeat myself across levels? And it's also a high level like a hero or a non-hero.
Karen didn't know the messy thoughts in Aegwynn's husband's heart. He lifted Orb of Deception's disguise and showed his true face to Aegwynn's husband for the first time.
"I am indeed Drew. This time it is my true self. I have been pretending to be friends with you before and deceived you. I am very sorry. But I also have my own reasons and I am sincere in making friends with you." Karen said to Aegwynn's husband calmly.
The other party has been exposed, but he is still so calm? Aegwynn's husband now does not believe what Karen said at all.
Previously, I had preconceived the idea that Karen was pretending to be Drew. I thought that whatever he said was just a cover-up. So Aegwynn's husband didn't listen at all to Karen's explanation. He didn't believe a word of what Karen said. He still pointed his wand at Karen and didn't move.
Seeing his good friend's disbelieving look, Karen also held his forehead and had a headache. He really didn't want to practice with his good friend. And it was unnecessary. Not to mention that the other party was promoted to a hero now, so he probably couldn't beat him.
The information asymmetry between the two parties prevents him from being cruel to the other party. The other party has no burden of being cruel to him. The other party is stronger than him, and beating him down must be the first priority. In the boxing match, sandbags are tied to increase the weight, and he is also fighting against players in several weight classes than himself.
"Calm down. I really didn't lie to you. I am really Drew, and the human alchemist master Drew is my disguised identity.
If you don't believe it, how about I make alchemy for you now?" Karen said as he prepared to take the alchemy items from the space ring.
"Don't move! If you move again, I'm going to take action." But Aegwynn's husband thought that Karen was going to use something against him, so he warned Karen. Karen knew that if he moved, the other party might really take action, so he didn't dare to move. But he couldn't prove himself with his hands, so he still had to prove it with words. Karen racked his brains to think of a way.
"By the way, His Majesty the King knows my true identity. How about we go to His Majesty the King to verify it? His Majesty the King can prove it to me." Karen thought of a good way. The King knows his identity. And he has his true identity, and the King takes good care of him.
"Don't play tricks. Are you planning to sneak away on the road again? I tell you, you are not allowed to go anywhere." This road was also blocked by Aegwynn's husband.
At this moment, a voice sounded.
"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. Put down your weapons quickly, Aegwynn's husband, put down your weapons quickly. This is Prince High Elf, Karen. Sunstrider, His Highness Prince Karen. He is also your good friend, Master Drew, the master of human alchemy. I can prove this." At this time, the king came in from outside.
Karen felt relieved. Great, His Majesty the King came so timely.
Aegwynn's husband's first reaction was that as soon as he asked for verification, the king appeared. They couldn't be a group, this king was fake. This had been planned a long time ago.
However, when he saw Prince Llane and his son Medivh. Aegwynn's husband following His Majesty the King, he knew that this should be the real His Majesty the King.
So since the king is real, and Karen is guaranteed by the king, then it is real. Is it true that my good friend is not a human, but a High Elf pretending to be? And he is also a prince of the High Elf family? The prince is so idle, pretending to be a human to tease me?
Aegwynn's husband felt even more confused. But after he figured it out, he also put down his hostility and put down the weapons in his hands.
