Although Lina couldn't understand the Bamboo Snake's language, she could tell from its killing intent that it didn't believe a single word she said.
What a despicable scheme.
Courtney and Marvel had fled immediately after killing the innocent baby snake. Wasn't their mission supposed to be hunting the adult Bamboo Snake that had been attacking the human village? Why had they targeted a baby snake that had never even left its nest?
Even stranger, how had they located the nest so quickly? And how had they managed to kill the hatchling so easily?
Lina glanced at Bradley's unconscious body. "What a coincidence. No one here will witness this."
Her father's words echoed in her mind.
'Lina, remember. Whenever possible, never reveal that you're both a mage and a swordswoman. Once you accept a mission, choose only one path.'
She had always presented herself as a mage because she wanted to use magic like her sister and Caelis. But the truth was swordsmanship was her greatest talent.
