Murphy returned to the Maginot Line at the break of dawn.
He was as cautious as a rogue coming home after a night out, trying to hide his tracks and not letting Triss know about the foolish things he had done in the past few hours.
Fortunately, Triss was still busy with the Cloud Mist Illusion on the Creation Plain, unable to spare time to focus on Murphy's actions. This allowed the fatigued Vampire Lord to breathe a sigh of relief, but just as he changed his clothes and left the command room, he was met with the complex expression on Adel's face.
"I..."
"I know everything, Master."
Adel touched her left hand.
Murphy noticed a Shadow Spider tattoo on E Sister's hand and then heard Adel say:
"Lady Rose granted me a blessing, allowing me to seamlessly understand and learn the legacy of the Shadow Elves. It's a rare gift, but... but as she bestowed the blessing, she deliberately let me see the scenes of the Abyssal Divine Kingdom.
You've endured so much...
