Since Valerie helped me, I wanted to invite her to the castle so she could taste the delicious food the chef has prepared. I can just barge into their kitchen and they let me taste everything from cakes to their latest breads. Every time I go there, my stomach sings a happy song. She respectfully declined, but that doesn't stop me. I will take some food from the castle and my home and eat with her afterwards. I have to be quick though, school starts literally in two days.
"They're just low level grunts, still, I'm sure we can find a hidden entrance or two" [Alaric].
"That, and some scandal to our advantage" [Aeron].
"You should tell me next time! I will be happy to help" [Diana]
"Telling you is like telling a parrot, you will end up giving it all away" [Aeron].
"No! I am the most secretive person you have ever met!" [Diana]
"As your sister... I doubt that" [Dana]
"Second that!" [Calypso]
"Hey!" [Diana]
"Well, I'm going to go talk to the Hanging Treant first, bye" [Calypso]
"Don't get eaten, little fairy" [Randy]
"I won't!" [Calypso]
Since the whole thing was supposed to be a secret, Aeron used an invisibility cloak developed by Nar on the people of the Empire, so the citizens would not know. Sas are not involved in this one creation. I know Nar and Sas love to create a magical tool, and this is a good one! You can sneak out whenever and wherever you want without anyone noticing! Of course, there are many design flaws in it. An alert person can still spot the wearer, but this is still a great design.
"Going to the succubus and the invisibility cloak... What did my brother think... Never mind..." [Dana]
"What's wrong? The succubus are good people and this one is obviously good considering how he works" [Diana].
"Diana, just stay like that" [Randy]
"?" [Diana]
To the castle we go. Shouldn't it be somewhere near the castle, so why should we send the Prisoner Of War there? Well, I'm sure they know something I don't, so let's just go with them. Plus, they didn't forbid me to go with them, so let's go.
In the castle we went to one of the unused rooms. There, Master Merlin greeted us all. There are two chairs with a high concentration of Mirage Mana. Why did this Mirage Mana feel familiar? Could it be
"You used the lizard to make chairs back then?" [Diana]
"Not just a chair, this is a mind-reading chair!" [Merlin]
"How is this any different from any memory spell?" [Diana]
"I'm glad you ask!" [Merlin]
According to Master Merlin, the chair here connects two people's minds so that they can share each other's memories. That's the first base it makes, and with some modification, it can be made so that only one person can sneak into the other's memory without them noticing. Of course, the memories will still be jumbled, so you will have to redirect the one getting their memory check. The usual side effects like false memory, seizure, even brain death can be avoided and best of all
"You can use it undetected? That's so cool!" [Diana].
"I just got all the important information from Prince Rufus. Little Amleth couldn't thank me enough." [Merlin]
"Really! Master Merlin really is the best of the best!" [Diana]
"Praise me more, young one!" [Merlin]
"You are the best and most beautiful talented witch in the whole wide world! Princess Siti, Teacher Tiara and I are so grateful to be your humble students!" [Diana]
"Hahaha! You flatter me!" [Merlin]
"Just let us use this chair already" [Aeron]
"You're no fun" [Merlin, Diana]
According to Master Merlin, only a few people can use it. Witches like her can use it, even without high mirage mana compatibility, because she compensates with her witch power. The other person who can use it is someone with good mirage mana compatibility, and a powerful one at that. Someone like Savel may have good Mirage Mana compatibility, but he's not good enough to use it effectively, so the other two who can use it are
"Guild Master Akela and me? Can I try it now!" [Diana]
"Sure." [Merlin]
And the first one I try is the one from Aru Village. My question to him is simple
"Why did you kill my family back then?" [Diana].
With the two of us sitting in the chairs, I can access his memory. He doesn't even have to answer me, but that's all I need. A question that leads to the memories I am looking for, and the answer could not be useful.
"Just because of power... Just because you wanted to be more powerful... Just because Flint promised you gold and women! I... I hate all of you from Aru Village!" [Diana]
I left the room. Dana looks like she wanted to kill the guy from Aru Village, but she just sighed and said another low grunt. She prioritizes trying to cheer me up. That's nice of her.
