Following the voice, Lu Ban saw Shia.
She looked rather haggard, her complexion pale as if she had not eaten for several days. She was still wearing that heavy suit of armor, which now bore some shocking battle scars. It was hard to imagine what kind of battle, even under the protection of magic, could have inflicted such marks.
Fortunately, upon seeing Lu Ban, a glimmer of light returned to Shia's eyes.
"I was investigating an incident involving heretical cultists and was attacked. The adversaries summoned a member of the Evil God's kin of a certain stature, which took some time to deal with,"
Shia explained, noticing Lu Ban's gaze.
"Where is this place?"
Lu Ban, not sure if Shia had arrived before him, asked.
