"Okay. If that is all, I've heard what you said. I'll keep it in mind," Nolan said.
"Thank you for letting me in. Also, thanks for the food," Alaric replied as he stood from the table.
"No problem," Nolan said.
"But wait… why are your companions always with you? Celia and Linda?" Alaric asked.
Nolan thought to himself: I can't tell him I tried the mana transfer on them today… that's why they're still asleep.
"Well, they're not around," Nolan replied.
"So they might say hi," Alaric added. His companions stood up as well, and they all left.
Thank goodness they're gone… good thing they're gone, Nolan thought. Luthar really learned some forbidden spells that increase power drastically. Even if his brother Lucan, the guild master, were at full strength, I'm sure Luthar is now more powerful than him. Defeating him is going to be a real pain.
