Chapter 10 - Expel Deceit
Angor led Mara to the stilt house where his teacher was.
“Mister Mara, my teacher must be resting inside. Please wait here so I can go in and inform him.”
Mara nodded and watched Angor go upstairs first.
“This is a peculiar house. Never thought I could run into such structures in Old Earth,” Mara silently commented on the appearance of the stilt house. He witnessed many buildings with strange shapes in the Fey Continent. This house showed great ingenuity, true, but it was a work of mortals after all. He praised its craftsmanship just because a mortal could build such an amazing sight.
Unlike Mara who was only merely interested in the house, Alan and Aleen could not hold back their curiosity and circled around the house in wonder. They even went under the rain to observe Jon’s vegetables and fruits near the wine rack.
They were still young. Trying to pretend to be mature did not help in concealing the childishness they occasionally showed. This pure innocence made everyone around them smile. Seeing how they were so interested in the grape trellis, Leon took out two bottles of red wine which had been preserved in the cellar for two years and offered everyone a glass.
The wine was rich and fragrant. As for drinking companions, Leon and Eton began chatting about the front line. Eton would like to get rid of the silent awkwardness too, so he happily chimed in with Leon and joined in the leisurely atmosphere.
He waved his crystal ball again, and quietly constructed a new cantrip pattern using his magic. This time, he was constructing the real Detect Disease spell.
