The Simple Trick and the Saintess

Conversation

Sion: Lingchen!

Lingchen: Sion, you're back. Is something wrong?

Sion: Lingchen, is there anyone who's familiar with machine devices?

Lingchen: I know a bit about devices.

Sion: We did find the entrance to the secret passageway, but there was an unidentifiable device attached to the door.

Sion: We couldn't figure out how to open it so we came back.

Lingchen: Oh, I see. Haha.

Lingchen: If you tell me what the device looks like, I'll tell you how to open it.

Sion: It looks like this...

Lingchen: Hmm... That's actually quite simple to open

Lingchen: The device you see above is definitely a trick device.

Lingchen: If you look under that device there should be a small lever that actually opens the door.

Sion: What? It's that simple?

Lingchen: I'm fairly certain I am right.

Lingchen: We have that device at our own door.

Sion: Ha. I should have looked more carefully...

Lingchen: Oh and Sion, there's a piece of information you might be interested in...

Sion: What? What is it?

Lingchen: I will give you the information if you pay a small fee.

Lingchen: It's nothing great so... / about a hundred thousand Gold?

Sion: What? That much??

Lingchen: I don't think it's that much considering how much you've earned the past few days.

Sion: Hmph. I guess you're keeping track of how much I earned from taking care of the mercenary tasks.

Lingchen: Haha. I just receive information.

Sion: Well... Alright, here. / What kind of information is it?

Lingchen: Do you happen to be acquainted with Saintess Kate?

Sion: Yes, I am?

Lingchen: According to our knowledge, someone assumed to be the Saintess was seen being dragged into Edrock castle.

Sion: What?? Kate??

Lingchen: Yes, we think it is her.

Lingchen: We have been keeping track of her every move.

Sion: Oh no! / I should hurry. Take care.

Lingchen: He went.

Lantas: Good job.

Lingchen: But is there a need to do all this?

Lantas: Even after all this time, that boy... / the way he talks, moves, and his personality, they are all like Zero.

Lingchen: If you are simply nostalgic for the past, I cannot understand, Lantas.

Lingchen: I am not certain if that boy is so great that someone like you have to secretly keep an eye on him.

Lantas: Something is going on...

Lantas: My instincts that let me survive the long years of being a mercenary is telling me something.

Lantas: He is somehow related to Zero.

Lingchen: Whew~ Well, you won't listen to me anyways.

Lantas: Anyways, we must keep an eye on him.
