Chapter 1408 To Graytree Road
"I was so scared," Tim said as they walked down the stairs to return to their hotel.
"Serious, I didn't even speak once in front of him," Jasmine said.
"You guys need to learn to speak a little more," Ning said. "Why would you be scared of anybody?"
Jasmine looked back at Ning. "But that was not anybody. That was a Cardinal. If this were a regular kingdom, that person would be akin to a prince. Do you know how nerve-racking that is?"
"Huh... I suppose that is true," Ning said. "Still, don't take it lying down. Learn to stand up for yourself."
"That's something only you could say," Jasmine said, sighing a little.
Galamor and Tanaya followed them half a step behind, letting the three of them continue walking down ahead of them.
"Are you alright, my lady?" Galamor asked Tanaya. "I understand that being close to the Cardinal of Life can be... scary."
"It was indeed a little scary," Tanaya said. "Is he always that serious, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Yes," Galamor said with a simple smile. "But that is for his benefit. He gets to do his work better that way."
"Cardinal of Life, he cares about the people I suppose," Tanaya said. "In his heart, he must love everyone."
"Something like that," Galamor said.
Walking down the flight of stairs was much faster than climbing, so the group arrived back at Level 2 in just an hour and a half. After returning, Ning turned toward the Galamor and Tanaya. "I expect both of you to be here later tonight," he said.
"I will," Tanaya said.
"9 o'clock. I'll be here," Galamor said and walked away.
Ning and the others returned to their room, and Ning instructed them to go to sleep as they would be busy later tonight.
"Go, and find him. I'll be there if you need any help," he said.
Tim walked away with Jasmine following behind them.
Tanaya stopped for a moment and looked at Ning. "Are you seriously not coming?" she asked.
"No," Ning answered. "Now go before he runs away or something."
Tanaya hurried away at those words.
Tim blew his horn as softly as he could and searched for what could help him. In his immediate vicinity, all he could find were cats, rats, dogs, some birds, and other small beasts.
Tim paused for a moment and chose a dog. He believed the dog would be the best help for him here. When the dog came, he could finally see that it was a medium-sized dog with short fur and a dark snout. It growled per Tim's orders, showing a yellow fang to the group.
"You can control the dog?" Tanaya asked.
"That's what my treasure is for," Tim said. "Do you guys have treasures I should be aware of?"
"I don't have any," Tanaya answered.
"I would have brought our family's belt," Galamor said. "But it's not a battle-oriented treasure. The fact that one of us even has any is a surprise on its own."
"What if we had two?" Jasmine asked and suddenly went invisible.
"What?" Galamor looked around to search for Jasmine, but he couldn't see her anywhere. He reached out to see if she was still there when his hand was swatted away.
"I can still be touched. Put those hands away," she said.
"Oh, sorry," he said. "You never mentioned you had a divine treasure during any of our dates."
"I wasn't intending to give away too much information," Jasmine said. "Anyway, it would be too weird if we all went in as invisible, but I can make the dog and one other person invisible."
"Who wants to go in unseen?"
