Chapter 66: 065 Lady just wants to see you
“What… What’s going on!?”
Shane’s sudden shout had scared Vivian, Lu Muya, Merica, and Tielle out of their wits.
Especially Lu Muya, a naturally timid dog-woman, who let out a cry of despair, as if all her fur stood on end, truly frightened.
“Sorry, sorry.” Shane suddenly laughed, like a child who succeeded in his prank, grinned, and said, “I just wanted the person inside to come out and greet us themselves, I didn’t mean to scare you.”
Though he said this, Shane’s expression and tone gave off a feeling of insincerity.
But what Shane had said was true.
He really did want the person inside to come out on their own.
Suddenly, the uniformly shabby road ahead distorted without warning.
No, it wasn’t the scenery distorting, but the space itself.
As if responding to Shane’s call, the space first twisted like a whirlpool, then swayed open like a mirage.
In such a situation, the plain old road seemed to fade like a color-drained painting and was replaced by another scene.
Witnessing this scene unfold, everyone from Vivian’s team stared wide-eyed.
Even Shane raised an eyebrow, revealing an expression of astonishment.
Because the scene before everyone had completely changed.
The old road had turned into an advanced path paved with smooth, beautiful stone tiles.
What used to be an abandoned area now boasted a garden filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
In the garden, there were ornamental plants pruned with great care, a very imposing fountain, and a luxurious mansion sat amidst it all, looking like the estate of the Great Nobles, extraordinarily pleasing to the eye.
Vivian’s team was stunned.
Lu Muya couldn’t help but her eyes sparkled.
“How can there be such a mansion here?”
Vivian felt genuinely amazed from the bottom of her heart.
Only Merica, as if greatly shaken, extended a hand to cover her cute little mouth, her voice trembling.
“The other party is a user of Space Magic, so could this mansion and garden have been transported here entirely from another place using Space Magic?”
Merica felt that she had seen the whole truth.
But precisely because of this, she was astounded beyond measure.
Beside her, Shane, having heard Merica’s remark, was also momentarily surprised and looked back at the garden and mansion before him.
“Transported here entirely from another place using Space Magic?”
That was indeed incredible.
That guy must be an even more remarkable person than he had understood.
As everyone was caught in a relentless astonishment, from the mansion ahead, a figure slowly approached.
The figure wore a maid’s attire, with long black hair reaching her waist and eyes as beautiful as rubies, tall and shapely, emitting a very astute and capable aura.
“Welcome to Huaming Pavilion.”
With a voice devoid of ups and downs, the maid bowed to Vivian’s team.
Seeing this person, not to mention the other young girls, Shane and Tielle were taken aback.
Watching this previously self-willed lady dressed as a maid to greet him, her aura completely transformed, Shane truly doubted his own eyes.
But this time, Shane was mistaken.
“I am Lasha, not Lady Laischa, just a maid of the Huaming Pavilion.”
The girl who claimed to be Lasha continued without a change in expression or tone.
“Lady Laischa is inside the Huaming Pavilion, and she sent me to greet you.”
Upon hearing this, the members of Vivian’s Team exchanged looks.
Shane gazed intently at the girl who called herself Lasha, scrutinizing her continuously.
There was no helping it.
This person, whether in terms of appearance, height, or overall look, was identical to Laischa.
For a moment, Shane even wondered if this person was Laischa in disguise, playing a trick on him.
But if that were the case, the lady’s acting skill was too perfect, not just in expression but also in demeanor, which had completely changed compared to what Shane had seen before—it was like heaven and earth.
Shane muttered this idea, which would delight countless homebodies.
Lasha, however, ignored Shane’s musings and maintained her composure as she spoke.
With that, Lasha gestured politely for them to proceed.
The group did not move.
Lu Muya and Merica both looked to Vivian, regarding her as their leader.
Tielle asked with the same indifference, her petite body seemingly tense, as if she was on guard.
“What do you think, Shane?”
Vivian pondered for a long while but instead of deciding, she asked for Shane’s opinion.
“Let’s go in.” Shane was still observing Lasha; after a while, he breathed out and said, “Now, I’m somewhat curious about that person.”
After leaving these words, Shane led the way into the garden towards the mansion.
Seeing this, Vivian and the others exchanged glances and followed Shane into the garden.
At that moment, the unexpected occurred.
Shane, who possessed the “Magic Perception” Skill, was the first to notice something amiss. His expression changed, and he suddenly turned and rushed towards Vivian and the others.
But at the same moment, accompanied by another vibration, the space began to distort.
The shouts of the girls rang out in unison.
Under the distortion of space, Vivian, Tielle, Lu Muya, and Merica vanished as if sucked into an invisible black hole, disappearing from the spot.
Shane had just reached where the girls were; his hand almost brushed past Vivian’s body before she disappeared, and he was left grasping at thin air.
Consequently, Shane’s emotions erupted effortlessly.
“Playing tricks on me?”
Shane turned his gaze toward Lasha standing aside; his body’s Magic Power, which manifested like dark flames, burst forth furiously.
Due to this, the entire garden and mansion began to tremble, and the air issued lamenting vibrations.
With such force, even a Level 80 master might find it difficult to breathe.
Yet, Lasha remained expressionless.
“Please be assured, they have only returned to the Adventurer’s Guild,” Lasha said impassively. “The lady only wanted to see you, not the others.”
At her words, the intensity of Shane’s aura momentarily paused.
