"Her authority lies in the realm of [deception and lies]. Ordinary methods of verification are simply a waste. Even if she were to lie, you wouldn't be able to tell. Even I, your mentor, would have difficulty discerning the truthfulness of Lilia's words without using [omniscience]." My mentor propped himself up and patted my head, then quickly slumped back into place. "In comparison, those demonic visitors who spout nonsense are far more honest than her."
She pursed her lips, interrupting my next words: "Don't mention that unlucky guy again."
"Compared to that, has that silly disciple been neglecting his studies lately? That won't do! You need to advance as soon as possible so that your dear mentor can take you out more often!"
Please, just let me go.
"Aren't you curious about those artifacts you picked up from the medieval antique market?"
But my mentor always knew how to manipulate me. He just smiled and asked enticingly, "Although the ancient civilization disappeared into the layers of history due to various accidents, the remnants of the civilization are still in some corner of this land, waiting for others to explore them."
"If you want to witness those things with your own eyes, you have to complete the promotion as soon as possible. But if you wait too long, it is not impossible that the brilliant treasures that symbolize the past glory will be lost or damaged."
Most of those objects were already in a state of partial damage, so how much worse could they get? That was the kind of loud rebuttal I wanted to make, but then I thought about it again and became uncertain.
"...Could it be in one of those hidden forbidden zones?"
This is just my guess. After all, as new cities and technologies have been developed on the ruins of old lands many times, people usually thoroughly explore the surrounding area, digging three feet into the ground, and only begin construction after confirming that there are no insurmountable crises in the vicinity.
Apart from the mountains near Piss City and the center of the Gray Zone, only a few hidden forbidden zones that have not yet been fully breached still hold secrets that have not yet been revealed.
The mentor squinted, snapped his fingers to indicate that he had hit the bullseye: "Plus the order that I asked Lilia to make this time, I believe you will like it."
"Of course, and I hope my dear disciple won't disappoint me then."
I couldn't listen to anything else. I turned my head and forgot about the strange appearance and disappearance of the shop and its owner, which I had just wanted to mention. Instead, I started to have a heated discussion with my tutor about the details.
That kind of thing can wait until we think about it later!
