Back to the original time.....
"Jean, I think we're eating at a pretty expensive restaurant. Are you... Got money to pay for it?"
In the middle of enjoying the meal, Jeanne whispered to her younger brother. Judging from the cutlery and the quality of these food raw materials, we can be sure that these all have very good quality. In fact, there are some vegetables that can speed up the cultivation process.
"Don't worry. All of this food was already paid for when I made the reservation. Of course, if sister Jeanne wants to, I can bring you here every day."
Hearing Jean's explanation casually, Jeanne chuckled. His worries have evaporated. Now he can enjoy his meal in peace.
Jeanne was worried because her sister wasn't open enough about her job. He said he was a merchant. But considering Jean once took herself and Svetlana to a very luxurious and strange building, Jeanne was not surprised.
"Elyse, there's leftover wine in your mouth. Don't talk while chewing okay."
Jeanne took a clean cloth and rubbed it around Elyse's mouth. The girl smiled sweetly and adorable while Jeanne chuckled.
At that moment, Jeanne and Svetlana felt a strange sensation. The two looked at each other and furrowed their eyebrows. There's something coming. This strange feeling made them feel bad.
"Jean and the others, how about we get out of here now?"
Jean and the twins nodded. Their food was gone, there was no reason to linger here. After they finished the last remnants, the four went out of the restaurant.
Outside, the sky is very cloudy. A cold wind pierced the skin of the townspeople. It has not yet entered winter, but the air feels very cold.
Svetlana muttered in her heart. He was already preparing himself for the worst possible. And so did Jeanne. As for Jean, she keeps making sure that Elyse and Elsie stay nearby. Just like the two of them, Jean seemed to be aware of this oddity.
Jeanne pitched her face to the sky and her expression turned into a mixture of fear and surprise. A blood-red magic circle was floating above the sky. Fulfill the entire capital. No, more than that.
The townspeople who realized this became very panicked. The nobles, merchants, [powerhouse], the royal family, and all the powerful entities present in Krakov also panicked. They were wondering who could make a magic circle this large and vast.
A few moments later, a trickle came out of the circle. Like the rain, they came down very hard. Uncounted. The problem starts here.
Whoever gets exposed to the liquid, they're dead. Unless one has a cultivation level above stage 8 [Earth Realm]. Unfortunately, such luxury is not owned by the majority of the city's population. In fact, if a top-tier cultivator was exposed to this liquid, the adverse impact that they would receive themselves was also enormous.
The rain of strange liquids indiscriminate. Unfortunately, those who tried to shelter under the roof remained exposed to this liquid, as if chasing people.
Svetlana had already prepared a barrier to protect Jeanne and the others. He also spread his mana throughout the city to search for the figure behind the maker of this magic circle.
The mana produced from [Sky energy] has a higher level than the mana produced from [Earth energy]. Coupled with Svetlana's mana manipulation ability also being above average, this allowed her to control the mana she spread over a large area.
"Jean, I found the man behind all this. Stay here and take care of both. Jeanne, you too. Mama will be back soon."
The barrier that Svetlana had prepared could remain active even if she was not inside. Therefore, all four will remain safe if they are inside the barrier.
Svetlana's on the move. Even when Jean and Jeanne had not had time to give their response.
