Lucieno Tells Fred More
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 57914
|
In Fred's room, Lucieno went on: "If your bungling friend hadn't done what
he did, I might have seriously considered doing something rather similar
myself. Before you explode in anger, just think about it for a moment.
When you are together with Astra, nobody is likely to register your
appearance. Everyone will be looking at her, not at you. Furthermore, if a
woman answering to her currently somewhat outlandish description is
discovered to have kidnapped Tao Tse Mung, no-one will be looking for a
woman with fair skin and red hair who is more conventionally attired. Yes,
shortly after you and she have abducted the philosopher I intend to undo
Ambaric's spell, and will give Astra some very different illusory garb."
"I see. Wouldn't it make sense for you to cast a spell of disguise on me too?" "I want to keep the number of spells that I perform to a minimum. I'm taking enough of a chance in coming to this land as it is. Too many of its people are magically adept for my liking, and I don't want to cast a spell and risk drawing attention to myself except when it's absolutely necessary." "In that case isn't there a risk that one of the local mages will penetrate Astra's illusion and see her as she really is?" "Yes, there is. But I don't think that it's very likely. Anyway, there's nothing that can be done about it, so there's no point in worrying."
