When Maria’s figure vanished atop the mountain, Viola’s consciousness snapped back to reality from the depths of the southern province.
As he opened his eyes, he wholeheartedly believed in Maria’s words.
He believed that this girl had lived from three hundred years ago until the present.
At that moment, he finally understood why he had always sensed that there was something extraordinary about Maria, yet couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
She appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old, but possessed knowledge of the esoteric hexagrams that Master Exeor couldn’t grasp even at a hundred years old.
At the tender age of twelve, she was pursued by the Warriors Den and engaged in a battle of wits and courage.
And at the same time she was seventeen or eighteen, she somehow coincidentally appeared before him in Aurous Hill after leaving Northern Europe. Such uncanny occurrences were rare in the world.
Moreover, this seemingly seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl possessed extraordinary talent in painting landscapes, surpassing any painter in history within seconds…
Now that she had revealed her secret, all of these questions were answered with a plausible explanation.
Her exceptional painting skills were the result of three hundred years of dedicated practice, surpassing the abilities of any other artist.
The same applied to fortune-telling.
Master Exeor was only a hundred years old, while Maria had surpassed the three-hundred-year mark. The disparity between them was evident.
Simultaneously, Viola noticed a change in Maria’s demeanor.
Viola felt a sense of hidden beauty, as if the lotus
