Chapter 86 - Eighty-Two (2/2)

I occupied my mouth so I can have more time to think, making a clear satisfying slurping sound, as I say: ” I think is a great idea.” Taking off the fact that I will need to find space down there for a bunch of houses and probably have it all organized by the time we go there, then yes is a great idea.

In the end, even without knowing, Leonel manages to make me have to organize that place.

How bad my luck could be? Ugh.

Well, if Leo notices my distress he ignores it as he continues. ”As for Isaac…”

”Isa please, don't want you messing my name in the wrong places with the wrong people.” Still a jerk I see.

”We were about to discuss when you arrive.”

”Good, I have many questions as well.”

I can see an unsatisfied look on his face as he politely brought the wooden spoon to his mouth. We wait for him to start speaking, but he takes his sweet time to say anything, bringing a cup of warm tea and sipping while looking out over the destroyed garden.

”I'm part of the Church of the Goddess of Magic, and part of the group called Light Sisters. We are trained from a young age to become healing nuns and take our caring touch towards the people.”

I can't stop myself from snorting at that; and I did not know which one was more absurd, the caring touch or the part where they were a group made to assist the people.

Yeah, the ”people” who paid better for their services, that is. Healing magic is an expensive type of treatment that most could not afford.

And, beyond the fact that it is a rare type of magic, one could say that this church was the other reason for being so exclusive.

”We are known for our healing powers, and I believe that we may have something in our archives that may assist with healing Aeglos mind. Mind magic is as rare as healing magic, and few know how to deal with it. The plan was to go back to the temple and find out a cure.”

Well, so far so good, only that… I bet they would not lend us that information willingly.

”But there is a problem.” Of course there is, there is always a problem. ”Well, a few actually.” Even better! Note the sarcasm.

”What it is?” I ask, not amused.

”First, before we continue with any of this, you have to promise to do as I say and accept my commands.”

Yeaahh, sureee, why not?

”If I don't?”

”Then this plan is doom from the beginning.”

Hell if I would accept any orders from him, even more with such a vague response. ”How about you tell me more about this plan before anything else uhm? And what about the other problems?”

”Is that…They don't accept men inside.”
