"We can start right now," Alandia's gaze was unwavering, "as long as you need."
The air conditioning kept the outside heat at bay; inside the Dawn Star, the temperature was suitable. Yet, Qin Qianbai felt a chill rise in her heart. The friendly and wise female knight seemed like an emotionless machine, her response containing nothing but objective conclusions, like an infallible answering machine.
The beautiful woman in her eyes gradually transformed, as if into a pure white iron humanoid. She knew the other had long since lost her power, but her intuition told her this knight could indeed achieve what she claimed. All Qin Qianbai needed to do was speak, and she could learn everything she desired in the simplest way.
As long as she asked this machine the question.
"...No." Qin Qianbai said with difficulty, "I don't need it."
