Chapter 220 A Fallen Star
Northern still couldn't believe it, even as he and Terence trekked out of the woods.
"Light has an overwhelming vulnerability to mind attacks."
"For a hero, that's quite ironic."
Terence chuckled.
"I know, right... Light, she is just like every other person. She's just smarter, crazy, passionate, and good, very good."
Northern studied her for a bit.
"You are sounding like you idolize her."
The Oracle smiled gleefully.
"I don't care. I am her number one fan!"
They were silent as they walked, then after a dozen seconds, Northern said:
"You are from this continent, aren't you?"
"Yes..." Terence responded.
"Even though you're probably our age, that's interesting. And you are a priestess at such a young age."
Terence raised a brow, "I'm not sure what you mean by 'at such a young age'... I know it's not much, but I'm pretty sure it's not what you call 'such a young age.'"
Northern frowned curiously.
"Wait, how old are you? If it's alright for me to ask?"
"I'm twenty-one, what about you?"
She asked, looking at him.
Northern's mouth opened, but no words came out.
'Twenty-one?!!! Damn! I'm fifteen!!! Well, I did die at twenty-five, so technically, twenty-five plus fifteen is forty. Yeah, I'm older than her, but forty is too far...'
"Since you are so silent about it, I'm guessing you are very young. Let's see, since you are one of the people that accidentally came here with Raven, you are probably around fifteen or sixteen."
She paused and studied his face keenly as they walked, scrunching up her eyes.
Then she nodded her head.
"Yes, I'll go for fifteen. You're definitely fifteen."
Despite her uncomely look, she stood like a fallen star beneath Quite imposing... and strangely beautiful.
Looking at the lady, Northern was tempted to call her that. But it was not also hard to look at her with bitterness and scorn.
She had played him, after all.
As they walked closer to the scene, Terence's voice rolled out:
"I don't know if this is going to help in any way, Mr. Northern." She paused her steps.
Northern also did the same and looked at her.
"Yes?"
"Light did not trick you in any way... of course, she has plans of her own, which she's not obligated to tell you or anyone, just like you too have plans of your own which you are not obligated to tell anyone.
"You also have to understand, she's smart, incredibly whimsical, and very, very perceptive! You'd be shocked as to how much she pays attention to details. So the things she said, those things she knew about you, weren't because she was trying to trick you somehow. She's just that smart, and I think it was her deepest secret because she didn't want to say it to you and hurt you."
Northern was silent, he looked around and brought his face back to Terence, then he asked:
"How are you resistant to mind attacks?"
Terence was a bit taken aback by the question. To be honest, it wasn't what she was expecting.
She allowed a small smile and answered:
"What do you expect? You said it yourself, I am a priestess." She walked forward but stopped and added, "Besides, with the kind of places I go to in my trances, it's inevitable that I have an indomitable mental fortitude."
Northern nodded slowly, "I see."
Terence smiled and walked away.
And he watched her meet Raven, he stayed on his own for a couple of seconds before he walked forward.
'It's not like that changes the fact that she might know that I have the ability to copy talents...'
If worse comes to worst, what would he do?
He had never thought about it because he never knew that someone would discover his ability.
The world knowing that he could copy more than one talent and even turn it permanently to his own after ranking up was a big deal!
He had never thought about what the consequences would be, but he knew they were going to be dire.
Northern gritted his teeth and exhaled.
'I'll deal with things one by one, for now let's just focus on stealing the goddamn map from that Sage.'
