"A single one of these is worth a massive luxury apartment in a major city—and I mean prime real estate."
"When anyone else draws a talisman, they're only pulling maybe thirty to fifty percent of its true power, and that's if they're a master."
"When Maeve draws one, it's at one hundred percent power. Pure, undiluted."
"If I hadn't read the signs that she was going to have a major drawing session today, do you really think I would've rushed all the way back to Aethelburg?"
Since he had already been thoroughly busted, Quinn didn't hesitate to admit his true motives for the trip.
Before the two of them could even finish their conversation, Maeve had already completed the very last one.
As the final piece of yellow paper was transformed into a powerful charm, Maeve finally snapped out of her trance.
Seeing Quinn clutching the entire stack of talismans to his chest like his life depended on it, Maeve pointed the tip of her pen right at him.
"I knew you were up to no good showing up today."
Quinn didn't miss a beat. "You haven't drawn anything in three years!"
"I finally get a chance like this, and if I missed it, who knows how many decades I'd have to wait for the next one."
"Maeve, I treat you like my own sister. You have to give me at least a few of these."
"I need them. It's an emergency. I literally have to have them!"
Maeve pointed her pen at him, staring him down for a long moment before finally speaking.
"We'll settle this score later."
The exact moment Maeve set her pen down, the heavy downpour began to ease up.
A gentle breeze swept through, and the rain stopped completely.
The air was filled with waves of an incredible fragrance—whether it was the scent of flowers, fresh grass, or pure spiritual energy gifted by nature, no one could tell.
A rainbow arched across the horizon, glowing with a breathtaking, otherworldly beauty.
Even though almost everyone was soaked, the rain hadn't made anyone feel uncomfortable in the slightest.
Standing there, bathed in the aftermath of the storm, everyone felt as if their very souls had been cleansed by a gift from the heavens.
It was a profound, indescribable sense of joy and relief that settled deep into everyone's hearts.
Andres looked at Maeve with eyes full of concern. "Are you exhausted after drawing so many in one go?"
Even though she had produced two hundred in a row, the whole process had only taken about fifteen minutes.
