He quickly changed the subject and said, "My Honored Mage, have you heard the tale? A thousand years ago, a legendary mage managed to leave the continent of Nolan and travel to another plane, thereby achieving immortality."
Well, Ava actually did know about that—Lorne had told her the story before. She nodded at Sarios. "I've heard of it. Go on."
Sarios licked his lips, lowering his voice as if sharing a forbidden secret.
"And now, on the continent of Nolan, there happen to be two legendary mages who are about to reach the age of two hundred. If they cannot cross over to another plane, they will soon face death, just like many of their predecessors. Originally, they would have resigned themselves to their fate. However..."
Ava perked up, sensing that this devil NPC was about to spill some crucial quest information.
Sure enough, Sarios didn't disappoint.
