After a short ti, Jas arrived at the appointed ti on the appointed floor and the place indicated only by the word 'sa'.
On the 5th floor, he had a tonne of work to do, but there was only one thing bigger than all that work, and it was here now.
The yet Jas had arrived in was a lodge belonging to the church, one of the houses forrly inhabited by the human witches who were an important part of the church's power.
The person who lived in this large house was now none other than Ariel.
When Jas arrived in front of the house, he knocked on the door and after a few seconds the door was opened by Theseus.
"I didn't know you lived here, Thes," Jas said, walking in, and seeing Theseus' smiling face.
"You're finally here, I can't believe it took you two hours to get here, what in God's na were you doing?" said Ariel who was sitting on the sofa with one leg over the other.
"You know, trying to get a house built for Nesis, Miracle, you, Theseus and many others."
Ariel shook her head from side to side as Jas said these words and then stood up and motioned for Jas to follow her.
After a short while Ariel and Jas made their way down to the basent of the house, and when Jas saw that it was a torture chamber he shuddered at the thought of the witches of the Church of Night, not that he knew much about torture.
"I told you to just catch her, there was no need for torture," Jas had said, strangely he had thought Ariel was capable of such things and he was right, after all, Ariel could be quite brutal when she needed to be.
Ariel paused when he heard those words and then pointed his finger sowhere, Jas looked curiously at the spot shook his head from side to side in disbelief and then asked, "Is this a new thod of torture?"
Ariel smiled and then said, "You told us never to hurt her unless she tried to kill her pursuers, so we didn't hurt her, we locked her up and took good care of her until you ca here."
Jas looked where Ariel was pointing and saw a place surrounded by iron bars. Inside was a very comfortable armchair, a place to take a shower, and the thing that surprised Jas the most, was a refrigerator.
"I didn't even know there were refrigerators in the tower." Jas suddenly said, and Ariel, who heard this, turned to Jas as if surprised and said, "The tower is not uncultured, Jas, there are industrial creatures here."
Jas could not express how embarrassed he was.
However, Jas approached the iron bars and then started to look at the person sitting on the seat.
The person in front of him looked like a female elf of about 16-17 years old, but the appearance of elves could be a deception, the person in front of him could be 1600-1700 years old.
"Pleased to et you, my na is Jas Arthur Black, known as Umbra of Chaos.'"
Jas suddenly introduced himself and then waited for an answer, when the woman sitting on the sofa closed the book in her hand, she looked at Jas and then said, "I don't have a na, as you can see, I am a Dark Elf, we are not very popular, I was thrown out when I beca an orphan."
When Jas heard those words, he realised that it would take a little longer to gain the trust of the other person, after all, it would be many tis more difficult for an outcast to open his feelings to the outside.
After a few seconds of standing still, Jas suddenly sat down on the floor and said, "I am the current leader of the Church of Night, which ans that I will be the one to punish you."
After Jas' words, the dark elf had waited without saying anything, she had thought that she would be sentenced to death because the punishnts given by clans or other groups were always like that, it was almost impossible to make an exception. The people in the tower were quite ruthless.
"You're lucky, though," Jas said, and the dark elf's attention turned to Jas as he heard those words.
"If you had hard anyone, I would have killed you without blinking an eye, but you managed to escape despite being chased for almost two and a half months, and you never once tried to kill anyone in the process. You just stole. And why did you do that?"
When Jas said these words, the dark elf's eyes widened. It was a great shock to the female dark elf that the direct leader of the Church of Night, which had a huge, deep-rooted and incredible authority, did not give her the death penalty.
"I...Well, I needed money, I have people to look after and that's why I needed money."
Jas smiled when the female dark elf uttered these words.
"I know the feeling, though it wasn't because I needed to look after soone, it was because I needed to fill my stomach, I wasn't in the best of shape before I entered this tower if you know what I an. Still, you should have tried to work properly."
At Jas' words, the dark elf's ears drooped as if she were a dog, a very funny but sad sight at the sa ti.
"I used to be a slave, I'm a Dark Elf, they don't give us work, even if my carers aren't Dark Elves, they're orphans, they can't find work, I have to look after them as the eldest, one of my carers got sick and I was trying to sell the essence of the monsters I normally hunt and suddenly I needed a lot of money since she beca sick."
Jas's face fell at the female dark elf's words, the person in front of him had stolen for a higher purpose than he had thought.
Jas suddenly seed to have determined the punishnt of the female dark elf in front of him, and when the smile reappeared on his face, he uttered the following words:
"Still, theft is theft, no matter what your motive and you must pay the penalty. I will now announce your punishnt."
