Karma really never missed its mark.
"Lilith was Sequence 1 of the Demoness Pathway?"
Medici said, "Keep guessing, little thing."
Edward pressed a hand to his forehead. This fellow really was irritating!
"Ah, fine. Since you don't want to tell me, we'll talk again when there's a chance."
"Undo the seal and let me out, and I'll tell you everything."
"Forget it. That would mess up the timeline."
"What?"
Edward shook his head, then suddenly pulled a crystal-clear Monocle from his pocket. Smiling at the door, he said, "It was a pleasure chatting with you today, Medici."
"Goodbye."
He made to put on the Monocle, and his figure vanished in tracing outlines.
Rumble!
In an instant, the entire Underground World shook again. Medici's deep, furious voice came through the crack in the door. "Amon! Amon!!! Amon!!!!"
Chapter 456: Sefirah Castle Is Mine!
Achievement unlocked: fleecing Medici for the second time!
The Secrets Sorcerer potion had digested by nearly a quarter in one go, even without him deliberately speaking in riddles, creating an air of mystery, or keeping secrets.
-Thanks to our buddy, King of Angel Medici, for the rocket gift.
Who knew whether he could keep fleecing him like this next time?
Huh?
Something suddenly occurred to Edward:
Just meeting Medici digested so much of my Sequence 4 potion, so why did acting as a Sequence 7 Mental Patient around Medici back then digest so little?
That doesn't seem very logical.
Was it because the Mental Patient Potion... was more special?
After frowning in thought for a while, Edward found no answer and could only put the question aside for now. Another question surfaced in its place: how exactly should he act as a Spirit Mage?
"Dong, dong, dong."
Just then, a bell rang from a building he was passing.
