Chapter 697 Friendly Visit

Sunny stared at the sorcerer for a few moments, unamused He really wanted to retort… but couldn't The four-arhtly creature, as far as hu it would have been a lie

And while the Extraordinary Rock could repeat his thoughts, the thoughts it spoke aloud still had to be truthful

With an irritated snarl, Sunny looked away and said:

"Fine We will retrieve the Ruby Knife from your friend that lives in the lake However… it would only be polite for you to return the favor and give us so a strain on our own friendshi+p, you know…"

These were more or less the exact words Noctis had used to lure hihtmare, so Sunny was pretty sure that the sorcerer would not be able to refuse his request

? Indeed, the immortal looked at hih

"Oh… yes, you are right, of course… huh… is there so particular you have in mind?"

Sunny nodded

With that, he pulled an amulet in the form of an anvil from the folds of his kimono and handed it to Noctis This was the charht Temple to protect herself from Mordret… after her death, the s that it was not a Me its shape and the fa weapons and tools, it was not hard to iine how the charm came to be However… that did not mean that Sunny understood hoorked

'Someone… far more powerful?'

Sunny blinked a couple of times

He lingered for a bit, then hid the little anvil and sighed

"Alright then I'll… think of so else We will discuss it after the Ruby Knife is in our hands"

Noctis waved a hand and turned back to the sacred tree, then continued to water it

"Fine, fine… just don't let your iination run too wild I am but a humble sorcerer, you know, not an actual deity… I only look like one ah, yes, hed, then gestured to the other members of the cohort and turned around

It was time to visit another of the humble sorcerer's friends
