121 Against an Army

Nikolai walked behind the kid who led him to the Temple, who seemed to have changed after Nikolai decided to find out what happened to Shon.

'However, Shon should be dead. I saw it with my own eyes, and it's almost impossible that he is still alive. Why does this child... No, why do I want to look for him?'

Shon didn't appear in his past life, and Nikolai never met him. Even if he met him, Nikolai didn't know if he would recognize someone he knew so long ago.

'But it's hard not to notice someone as eye-catching as he is,' Nikolai sighed. He had no choice but to agree to find out the truth in return for the skill. 'Maybe I can just forget about it after I get the skill.'

"If you go back on your word, the skill will disappear," Niko reminded him that his thoughts can be read. "Don't expect that you can lie to yourself."

"You are a skill, not me."

"I'm a skill with your memories."

"Then why do you care about Shon?"
