419 Chapter 418 (1/2)
”I wonder how many years it would take to build something like this with my current status,” Leon rubbed his chin. ”Rather, why build something so massive? Just to show off or level up her skills? I guess it is probably the second option... I did something similar, creating the spear that killed the galactic snake, and I received a lot of points.”
There were no windows on that building, but it had four massive entrances that were being used only by the elementals. As expected, they were leaving in groups of fifteen and walking toward very specific locations... they were going toward several purple crystals.
Leon entered the building, and this time the elementals ignored him. Despite the lack of windows, the interior of the castle was well illuminated by candles made of mithril... it was quite an inefficient way to use mithril, but thanks to the numbers, Leon found the way to the center of the building. It was weird, but the whole castle had only one room... the woman created four walls and a ceiling and then decided to call it that a castle just because it was big.
Leon found the woman sitting cross-legged right in the middle of that massive room. She was a redhead... it was the only thing Leon could see since her hair was so long that covered her whole face and most of her body. Leon could see some parts of her clothes, but those became brown thanks to the dusty, and Leon couldn't recognize if she was wearing a dress or something else thanks to it. It looked like she stayed in that position for a very long time...
”Oh, you really came,” The woman said. ”Guess you aren't a coward, after all, a coward wouldn't choose the path you are following. My name is Ilyana Daeyarus. You can call me Ilyana.”
”My name is Leon... nice to meet you.” Leon hesitated for a second but decided to greet the weird woman.
”Well, Leon... how about we make things fair for both of us?” Ilyana asked. ”You can ask a question, and then I will answer whatever you ask. After that, I will ask a question, and you will answer with the best of your ability. How about that?”
”I guess it is fine...” Leon said.
”Well, then, let's start,” Ilyana said. ”You can sit down; I don't think this conversation will end anytime soon.”
”All right...” Leon sat down but decided not to relax too much. ”Do you know how to use Teleport?”
Things were getting weird again, Leon already knew that Ilyana could read minds, but he couldn't imagine how she discovered that, given that Leon didn't think about that.
