The woman in front of Arthur did not look human. Its body was, but tree roots grew on her back, as if she was the core of the immense Life Tree they were on.
"You look different, Placidusax."
Arthur, who was still in a daze with the recent events said, "that's because I'm Arthur, not Placidusax."
"Oh, yes… yes. I can see you are not from this world, but another. You're Arthur, yes, but also Placidusax."
The sentence from the mysterious woman came as a shock for Arthur. Did she know Arthur was from a different world? How? One guess Arthur had was that she somehow read his thoughts, but would the system allow it?
"What are you talking about? What world?" Arthur said.
He wanted to go near her, and get all the answers, but restrained himself. It was not an enemy he could face, and his stupidity wasn't at that level.
