The light of dawn was already shining on the courtyard of the Russell Estate, and in front of the smoky bonfire, the Old Witch took another glance at Shard:
"That's very good. Young man, rest assured, I am very open-minded. Your affair with Galina, I won't gossip about it."
She winked at Shard.
Whether it was an illusion or not, from the corner of his eye, Shard thought he saw Sister Delphine, who was always expressionless, smiling. But when he looked carefully, her fair face under the silver crown-shaped mask was still without emotion.
After the excitement had worn off, fatigue was now washing over Shard. That night, he had continued to fight against the Evil Spirits, ventured into the Land of Death, used Maze Lock, and even attended the Evil God's soirée. Even if his physical exhaustion was tolerable, his mental fatigue was beyond his control.
