Chapter 153: Epherene’s Time (1)

It also snowed on the Floating Island, though it was a magical phenomenon that the wizards artificially implemented. If they didn’t, many addicts wouldn’t know the change of time and seasons.

In the city center of the Floating Island, Sylvia stepped through the snow while waiting for Idnik. She stepped to deliberately make a sound.

Ding-a-ling-!

At that moment, the door of the magic shop opened with the ring of a bell. Idnik, carrying a backpack, stepped out and handed Sylvia a newspaper.

“Read it.”

Sylvia took the newspaper without a word; her expressionless eyes scanned the text. Deculein and Julie were in the headlines.

“They say that the divorce is in progress, but there is a lot of gossip. Rumor has it that Deculein killed both Veron and Rockfell… ”

“No.”

Sylvia shook her head. Then she pointed to Julie in the newspaper.

“This woman is stupid.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“…”

Sylvia knew what Veron did to Deculein. What happened between the two. Also, how much Deculein loved Julie. But this stupid woman didn’t know that; she didn’t know anything…

“Forget it.”

With Sylvia’s blunt reply, Idnik shrugged.

“Is that so? Anyway, you’re ready, right?”

“Yes. But-“

“Here. What you asked for.”

Idnik handed a stone to Sylvia. The stone was called ‘Deculein’s Test.’ As soon as the Imperial Magic Tower distributed it to the Floating Island, it became hugely popular. She could tell by looking around right now, as a similar stone was being held by almost every wizard she could see. More were sitting on tables in cafes and restaurants. She even noticed a fainted wizard at one table, a stone by their head.

“Hmm. Gosh, he’s a master at making trends.”

At Idnik’s words, Sylvia looked at the stone. However, just by staring at it with her mana, it moved.

“Oh, and… did you know that Deculein privately published his writing?”

Sylvia raised her head.

“Writing.”

“Yes. It’s very noisy because of that. It was published privately and hasn’t been released to the public. Also, I don’t think it’s going to be sold due to Deculein’s nature. Rumor has it that the library on the Floating Island has increased its security to protect their copies.”
