Lucion was curious about the new town, too, and was very glad that he hadn't been in the carriage all the way to Heint.

Sigh.

As the carriage neared the village, a dark spark appeared in Hume's right eye.

It was a sign that the black orb was nearby.

Hume jumped, and Lucion smiled.

"Remember, Hume?"

"What?"

"You said you had a dream, that a finger came out and pointed to 'South'."

"Yes."

"It was pointing to a black bead."

What a dream for a guide.

Lucion didn't know how many black orbs there were in total, but the black figure's words bothered him.

It called him a broken vessel.

That's why he didn't recognize her.

"I don't like to think about it.

A vessel was a tool to hold something.

If you've heard this far, you must be a vessel for something.

Something that's not in the novel.

No, it was like reading a whole new novel.

'And.......'

-They were born of darkness and became its servants.

The words the black figure had spoken to him.

'Who are they, warlocks?

Lucion tried to infer the word 'they', but there was too little information.

[I don't know what black orbs are, but were they that common?]

Russell said with a puzzled expression.

[If I had known they were around, I would have taken one. What a shame].

[No power without a price, I'm personally a sucker. Is lord Lucion okay, and do you really think the black orb increases the darkness of the ball for nothing?]

Bethel reacted with reluctance to the reappearance of the black orb.

"It didn't come without a price, did it? You were sick for three days."

It hurt worse than when Eol, the High Priestess of Nevast, had tested him for warlocks by putting light into his body.

-That's right, Latta had to fight back tears, Latta hated seeing Lucion sick!

Latta's ears folded back.

[Well, I'm not sure if it's the black orb or the wound on her stomach, but it's not like it's not affecting her at all].

Russell, who had his arms crossed, also gave off a negative nuance.

There were only two things we could deduce from the black orb at this point.

One was that the black orb only responded to Lucion, as evidenced by the fact that Broson's was intact.

The other was that it had the effect of amplifying darkness.

But as Bethel had said, no power is without its side effects, and the black orb might be one of them.

"Everyone hates black orbs.

Lucion looked between Russell and Bethel and petted Latta.

"Well, I'm not about to give up on them."

Lucion looked at Hume without speaking, not wanting to pour oil on a burning house.
