Having met Isabelle, he had merely paid with one rib to lift the ban on his Alliance identity, redeem the reward of Scar of the Dead, and received the good news that the approval for the Arcane Castle had gone through.
For him,
All of this was enough to be a pleasant surprise.
However, after finishing that discussion, Isabelle didn't seem to have any intention of sending him away.
This surprised Matthew.
He pondered for a moment in his mind.
According to the style in which Isabelle handled matters, what she mentioned last was often the most important content.
What else did she have to say?
Matthew quietly waited.
His instincts told him,
The words Isabelle was about to speak might be related to what they encountered in the vanished history of the world.
But this time, the wait was noticeably longer than expected.
After a full five minutes,
Isabelle was still silent.
Matthew noticed her eyes were unfocused, as if her mind was far away.
So he coughed lightly.
"Hmm?"
