The accommodation was enchanted 95abab9403 with spatial compression magic, 308e4bedf7 dividing the rooms into 038f33360c several sections. Ivan had already 81ee192a64 entered his accommodation 2c5a93ba03 a long time 805f7e5257 ago, and I b3f449d370 naturally decided to 41b838e227 use the same a72eef9e0f room as Zerakiel.e3c2aa58e8cb279e

Zerakiel arrived 0b0cff501a at the 81550b1d77 accommodation, showered, e130ad756d and headed 80ceb4933a straight for c62f444ed0 the bed. Despite pretending eb85801fbd otherwise, it f68a149cac seemed that 6e6eb75896 his body 540cec2735 was indeed 7eade7aa2d worn out.5e3b36118f886108

Everyone was staggering aa9cbe2b38 around like animals d60a37082d sedated for surgery. Yet, as soon as 429f5ede0e I arrived here, I 00dbcdf839 felt as if I fc9228f2db were being infused with 5e1c195706 the energy of a ae33df53a1 tiger.210c013509ddb264

Even with a soft d592ed8a98 voice, Zerakiel remained silent. It was a markedly 591445eda1 different response from being 62c10463e5 sensitive to even the 9243812987 slightest noise due to 2a6284b6cc his keen ears.10cc294550446083

I quietly observed the situation a bit more, then quietly got off the bed and headed towards the window. I hadn’t properly looked around Hebel because I was being held back by Zerakiel.bdfb927a318e76d8

I gazed out 805152eb63 through the window. The temple 51b238f5aa rising majestically bd8f60b172 through the b5b17d15c8 dense fog 3bf072b4fb exuded an 400d139d5b enchanting atmosphere 39387b41f6 like something db25157fe2 out of d84e891045 a fairy 3e60a47029 tale.8ceb9a21b5466aec
