"Shadow Veil?"
Roland ignored the unfamiliar term, his wary gaze still locked on Avril.
"So you're..."
"Mr. Colin sent me to protect you."
As Avril spoke, she scratched her head in embarrassment, the tips of her pointed ears turning a faint red.
"It's just..."
She gave an awkward smile.
"I didn't expect that guy to not only be proficient in Spiritual Spells but also to use a Secret Technique to create a body double..."
The Elf Maiden's voice grew softer and softer.
"So just now... I was lured away by him..."
"Wait..."
Hearing this, Roland's brow furrowed, and his gaze shifted to where the mysterious white-robed man had turned to ash.
"You're saying... he was just a body double?"
"That's right!"
Avril nodded emphatically.
"My teammates from Shadow Veil and I have fought him before..."
At this point, the Elf Maiden frowned slightly, her tone becoming uncertain.
