God of Tricksters

"Well…" Theo scratched the back of his head. "Ahaha…"

"Whatever. I can modify it in a day since the foundation is there. Just need to add a few things and it will be done." Dourner glanced at the dragon.

"You don't need to mind me. Since I was the one who invited them here, I wouldn't take your time." The dragon chuckled.

"In that case, I will be working on it immediately." Dourner nodded and turned to Theo. "Since I will customize it for you, come with me."

"Are you sure? Won't my presence just bother you?"

"As long as you keep watching from the corner in silence, it's not a problem. Besides, I need to get your opinions, considering you have all those designs in your mind. I just want to make sure it's something that you want." Dourner shrugged.

"I understand. In that case, I will be watching your work." Theo agreed without hesitation.

Before he left, the dragon stopped him. "Before that, why don't you give something to this young lady first? She's dragged here and has been ignored the whole time. I think she deserves something."

Dourner made an annoyed look while his eyes wandered around the room. In the end, he walked to the opposite of the room and took out a shawl.

The white shawl was ten feet long and one foot wide. There was no decoration on the shawl, but the material felt smooth.

He handed it to Agata. "You are using your illusion remarkably, so I think this is good equipment for you.

"I have used Roin Silkworm's thread to make this and grind a Shesna's Core into powder to coat this shawl. The surface is smooth and you can use it like clothes… You can turn it into a corset, a cloth to tie your dress around the waist, or something else.

"Anyway, if you utilize this shawl, you will activate the Shesna's Core which is sensitive to Magic Power and increase the output. It should be able to help you."

"This…" Agata scratched the back of her head, feeling embarrassed to even accept this. She never thought that just by lingering around Theo could bring her something this useful.

Shesna was a monster not far from this place. It was a beast close to Mythical Rank and its core was usually used to make a magician wand or something related to Magic Power.

However, none of them ever attempted to make a shawl with it. With this kind of equipment, the enemy wouldn't know she had empowered her skill with Shesna's Core, allowing her to wield an even more powerful technique.

"Just accept it." The Elder Dwarf placed the shawl on her hand as if he didn't care about it. He turned around while dragging Theo to his workshop. Before leaving, he left one more message. "You should wash that every now and then. The silk will absorb the water and prevent the Shesna's Core from being washed away. That's all."

"…" Agata was speechless, wondering what had just happened. An hour ago, they almost died from the ambush. And now, they got something this powerful from Dourner.

While she was still shocked by the present, Ava looked at the dragon with curious eyes. "Why did you bring us here?"

The dragon heard her voice and smiled at her doubtful face. "Do you want to know?"

"You sound like someone who has a scheme. I don't want to hear it if I get into trouble because of it." Ava shook her head, honestly blurting her opinion.

"Haha, that's true. I guess he has influenced you to a certain degree."

"I don't regret it."

"I never said it's a bad thing." The dragon smiled. "All I can say right now is that our fate intertwined for a moment."

"Intertwined?" Ava furrowed her eyebrows.

"Yes. Do you know anything about Authority?"

"It's something better than Orders. That's all I know." Ava shook her head.

"Then, who is the holder of the Moonlight Order to you?"

"My mother."

"An honest child." The dragon stopped for a moment and said, "I want you to raise your foot."

Ava hesitated for a second but still followed his instruction.

After that, the dragon raised his claw and touched the tip of her small hand. It was so scary, considering the claw was far bigger than Ava's body, let alone her foot.

Though, Ava didn't feel any pain or whatsoever. Instead, she felt her body was surrounded by warmth.

"What is this?" Ava closed her eyes, not understanding the energy sent into her body. Without her realizing, her Moon Constellation was activated, summoning three stars in an instant.

"I said to you that our fate intertwined for a moment. However, I don't know whether it's good or bad. If it's the former, this shall be the thing that connects our fate once again. If it's not, then you won't meet me again." The dragon smiled.

"Why?" Ava narrowed her eyes.

"I once heard a legend. It was a story of moon rabbits protecting their master, the Moon Goddess. Your mother has something connected to the moon while you don't have something like that, so that makes me a bit curious…

"Sadly, even I don't know the reason, and this just piques my curiosity. Hence, I gave you this to see whether our fate will be aligned again or not. Whether you have something related to the moon or not, I will just let you experience it.

For your information, no one has gotten the Moon Authority yet." The dragon winked his eyes.

"…" Ava narrowed her eyes and asked, "Why did you give that information? Are you planning to make me wield the Moon Authority?"

"Hahaha. Who knows?!" The dragon chuckled. "It's just a whim. Whatever your future choice is, it's yours to decide."

Ava felt weird and looked down, contemplating something.

Agata was looking at Ava and the dragon with an embarrassed expression. She thought she was just someone who tagged along here and didn't know what to do.

But the dragon seemed to notice her anxiety and said, "Girl. You're not important to me, unlike the boy and this little rabbit. However, it doesn't mean you're not important to others.

"The proof that you have someone special guiding you is a blessing on its own. What you need to do right now is to understand and appreciate yourself more. Only then will the path open for you.." The dragon ended his advice with a smile.
