Chapter 863: The Magician And His assistant

"Do you remember that festival in Almere?" Julian asked Rohen they were below the deck The space they were given was a bit damp, and even a little musty, but it was less likely to feel dizzy

"Yeah It's where you stole my money pouch" Rowena chuckled as she sat down on one of the crate boxes "How could I forget?"

Julian coughed and cleared his throat He was guilty of that crime so he didn't try to refute her words Come to think of it, froht they would end up becoether

"Well… Excluding that, there were a couple of really nice perforh it was to celebrate the Goddess and the harvest, most were there for business and entertainment Did any of theician" Rowena thought about it and smiled She remembered that she pointed it out to Lady Liz before "His skill with sleight of the hands was aold coins with si"

"Woah, I knew you had a good eye, but I didn't expect it to be that good" Julian laughed "I was going to bring up the same perforured it out"

Rowena shrugged "It's rather easy if you pay attention"

"Easy? It seems like your definition is a bit different than ician, Mister Jack,as he interacts with the onlookers He's got fancy little s and not notice it like you do"

"I see, it's an act of misdirection" Rowena nodded then rubbed her chin "It's surprising that you know him Are the two of you friends?"

"I'rinned "It's probably a show a lot oftracked down by people"

"Do you think he calls himself that because he's a jack of all trades?"

" Now that you mentioned that, it seems like that's the reason" Julian chuckled "But as for uest?"

"Did you become his apprentice?" Rowena's eyes widened

"That's too formal I would have not ended up where I am today if I was his apprentice, so it's a lot more casual" Julian replied

"Casual?"

"Well, you could say that I helped hi a couple of neat tricks"

"And this ties into your plans, right?"

"Yeah That's e gotta rehearse a couple of lines"

It was around late night when their shi+p finally arrived in the port of Kilshade

Contrary to their expectations, it wasn't quiet or dark at all and instead filled with a hts that filled the streets People traversed the busy roads fro couples, and all sorts of individuals

"Woah, the streets are packed" Julian muttered in surprise then turned to Rowena "Do you knohy?"

"Well, there's notis not too fond of it," Rowe

na said "But it seems to be some sort of festival like Almere Some deity…"

"This is the festival of the fire God," Tel suddenly said as he and the rest of the way "The fire God who chased away the darkness so even the night is busy"
