I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means
Chapter 931 - 563: Kazeri Iheles?

Golden Coconut Inn,

Taya escorted Jue out into the corridor, still somewhat reluctant to let her go:

"Next time I'll prepare more snacks, Jue, you should come and have some with us again!"

"Okay, okay!"

Jue's little face was slightly red, and she nervously pinched the corner of her clothes, saying bashfully:

"Am I bothering you and Mr. Lis from resting?"

The delicious snacks that Taya shared with her earlier were the first time Jue had ever tasted such treats.

Aren't those the kind of delicacies only nobles get to enjoy?

Jue initially felt a bit uneasy, but she gradually relaxed after sensing Taya's sincerity and friendliness.

She had never seen someone as beautiful as Taya, and Taya's kind demeanor touched and warmed her heart.

Rumors about nobles were something Jue heard from the traveling merchant caravans who stayed at the inn.

In this small town, outside of Lord Ihelos, there were no so-called nobles.

Even the officials managing the town and the captains of the City Guard Army had to strictly follow the orders of Lord Ihelos, so the notion of nobles simply didn't exist.

From Taya, Jue experienced some foods she had never encountered before, which piqued her interest, like a stone cast into the calm lake of her years of life, stirring different ripples in her heart.

"It's fine, Lis is usually very busy too; I'll call you when I'm ready!"

Taya waved her hand carelessly.

Lis seemed quite busy today; she didn't intend to cling to Lis like during their travels, lest she disrupt his important matters.

Jue gave her a very good impression, making a friend in this little town wouldn't be bad; they could go out and explore together during the day.

"Alright, then I'll bring some more good drinks next time I come."

Jue nodded, not continuing to refuse.

Although Jue knew her homemade drinks couldn't compare to the exquisite snacks Taya brought, it was still a gesture of goodwill.

"Okay, okay."

Taya smiled, nodding repeatedly and said:

"Later, I'd also like to try mixing drinks. Would you teach me, Jue?"

"No problem, though I'm not that skilled either."

Jue said, a bit embarrassed.

The two chatted for a while at the doorway before reluctantly parting ways.

After Taya closed the door and turned around, she exclaimed in surprise:

"Lis, you're back!"

Lis was already seated on a chair in the room, asking Taya:

"Who were you talking to just now?"

Taya noticed the table in front of Lis was still in a mess and said a little embarrassed:

"Hehe, Jue just came over, and I invited her to have some snacks."

"We also agreed that when she's free, she'll take me to explore the city."

When they wrapped up, Jue wanted to help Taya clean up the table, but Taya had refused.

Since they weren't using the inn's utensils, she'd gather them into her storage ring and clean up later.

Lis naturally noticed the plates in front of him with only a few crumbs and jam left, feeling a bit speechless.

To him, these snacks were no big deal.

Even if he made them himself, it wouldn't take much effort.

But the main point was who Taya was sharing them with!

As he was returning from the City Lord Mansion, he had intended to tell Taya about the night's events.

After all, Lis had already confirmed that a Legendary Strongman had been paying close attention to the Golden Coconut Inn, and the focus of attention was that inn maid, Jue, likely the Legendary Mage Ihelos.

Meanwhile, Lis also intended to inform Taya of this small town's strangeness, including the undead residents and the eerie City Lord Mansion.

If possible, Lis was even prepared to have Taya leave the small town and wait for him outside.

Before coming in, he hadn't anticipated such significant issues in this small town.

Lis was certain that aside from the undead residents' problem in the small town, there were issues he hadn't yet detected.

He was confident in his ability to protect himself, but Taya was different.

In the face of a Legendary Mage, Taya was far less capable of resistance than Lis.

Even though Taya likely had the life-saving means granted by Lord Avin and the War God Church, there was no need to expend them in this city.

After all, she was merely accompanying Lis here; there was no need to take such a risk.

However, to his surprise, in just one evening, Taya and the blonde girl Jue had grown close.

When they were together, they seemed like long-time friends.

This wasn't typical; during their lengthy travels, Lis hadn't seen Taya getting along so well with anyone else.

It's not that Taya was overly aloof or looked down on those less powerful than her.

Taya didn't have many other intentions; she just rarely maintained long-term contact with others during their journey, focusing her mind on herself and her cultivation, thus seldom making friends.

Could it be that Taya intuitively sensed something different about Jue and acted subconsciously?

Lis thought it over; it wasn't an impossible notion.

In Bright City previously, he hadn't paid much attention, but through this traveling companionship, Lis confirmed many things.

Aside from possessing a Legendary Talent [King of Battle], Taya's intuition was quite strong in a certain sense.

She wasn't one to deduce conclusions through gathering intelligence like Lis but instead liked to act based on her own feeling.
