Did this lion realize Jane and I knew each other? Was he testing us?
Abner kept his expression neutral. "That depends on what the lady wants..."
"Oh, stop pretending. I wasn't paying much attention just now, but I can use Scene Replay too..." The lion raised his head and gave Abner a disdainful glance. Then he snorted. "Besides, I've seen Roselle pretend not to know a lady in public, only to end up in bed with her moments later. Your acting is nowhere near his."
That left both Abner and Jane embarrassed. Jane swallowed what she had been about to say, while Abner grumbled inwardly:
Did Roselle bring this lion along when he had affairs? Wasn't he afraid of scaring the woman? Or did the lion use Psychological Invisibility or hide in the Mirror World to watch?
At that moment, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina's calm voice broke the awkward silence:
"If possible, I'd like to explore Master Daniel's Labyrinth."
After speaking, she looked at Jane, who held an enormous scythe. There was a hint of anticipation in her pale blue eyes.
She wasn't surprised that Abner and Jane knew each other. As a Mysticism Mentor, she was also adept at looking into the past.
"'Make a discovery or invention that shocks the world'—that's the Prophet's ritual. Are you hoping to use this to advance to Demigod? Unfortunately, Daniel's Treasure alone probably won't be enough... But if you can get the 'ticket' and find the Spectral Empire, that should do it." Lion Leon gave her a meaningful look.
This lion really does deserve the name Finks. He talks about all kinds of secrets as if they're common knowledge... But the ritual for advancing to Prophet is to make a discovery or invention that shocks the world?
*No wonder Edwina is so
