"Cough..."
Just as the atmosphere was growing awkard, King Minos, who was lying in bed, gave a light cough and stretched out his hand to pick up the golden scepter from the bedside, handing it over to Luo En, who stood before him.
"This is the scepter that can command Talos; for the specific spells, you can go ask Ariadne."
As he took the scepter, hearing King Minos's tone as if he was entrusting everything to him, Luo En was just about to speak when he was stopped by a gesture from the king.
"Don't refuse. I already feel bad enough for imposing responsibilities that should have been mine onto you. Now that my body can't be of much help, it's better to give you what can still be used—I hope you can put them to good effect."
