Transmigrated as a Wrong Character in a Sorcerer World

Chapter 46 A slightly dangerous invitation (1)

As he entered the building, someone was in charge of directing him to the place where he should enter. This was a private building; it did not belong to the government, much less to an organization.

According to what Klaus could find out during the day, this building belongs to an exclusive and very rich person in the city. Although essentially no one knows who it is, there are those who say it belongs to one of the leaders of the most powerful sorcerer's organizations, either Red Tower or the rival of this one.

But there are those who say it belongs to an anonymous rich man from another country.

In the end, no one knows the truth. Even those who work in the building are not entirely clear who the leader is.

But somehow, Klaus already figured out who it was.

As he walked through the huge building, he was offered various snacks but wasn't interested in them.

Soon, he was standing before the largest room in the building, where the building's owner was supposed to be.

Without thinking too much about it, he entered when he was allowed entry and walked to the center of the room.

This place was prominent, with beautiful decorations, a peculiar scent of a woman, and large plush armchairs.

Towards the back of the room was a desk, and a person was sitting in the armchair on the other side, looking out the window towards the outside, with his back towards Klaus.

He walked to stand to one side of the desk, where he finally spoke.

"Miss Sua certainly is someone to be admired. This building could cost entire fortunes, but somehow, you own and don't seem to own just this place. Apparently, you are more amazing than I imagined at our first meeting, " he said, joking a little.

Sua Vinanne then turned around in the chair; she was drinking an expensive fine wine.

She smiled at him.

"Don't think me admirable and amazing, at least don't when you're the one saying it. I've never met a Reared in the Mist who could decipher my words encrypted on a little mission slip before."

"Hahaha, I guess I have some knowledge. Did you know I was going to decipher it?"

"No, I didn't. If I knew, I wouldn't have let you go in there."

"Then why did you put it up? Did you expect someone to decipher it?"

"That either, it was because of my request that Carion showed you that. So, it was specially prepared for you."

Klaus' eyebrows rose slightly in surprise, and he sighed.

"You are good. I suppose I should commend you for that."

Sua suddenly started laughing and then took a last sip of the wine to set it on the table.

"Hahaha, it was just a little bet, don't get uptight. I thought if you were someone special, maybe you could see it. But up until a while ago, I always thought I was out of line. I should have made it easier; maybe then you'd come. I didn't expect you to have figured it out so easily." She gave him a sidelong glance before pouring him some water since that was the only thing Klaus didn't react to with a glance.

She was good at reading looks.

Klaus drank it all in one gulp before speaking.

"And you noticed when I asked about it in town, didn't you? You seem to have a lot of ears in the city, Miss Sua." Klaus sat in the chair to one side of him and stared at Sua. "I must say that I have fallen into your little trap out of mere curiosity. What is it that you want? I don't believe you called me here simply to reveal that you are immensely wealthy and powerful."

"Hehehe..." She smiled softly. "You were the only one that The Professor and Aranfer Hiltroad couldn't plasm a Slavery Seal on; simultaneously, you're a sorcerer. I don't care much if you're not strong right now; you're also incredibly good at strategizing, according to my leaders. So I'd like to make a proposal to you."

"A proposal on behalf of Miss Sua? That I would like to hear, provided I can refuse." Answering, Klaus took his moment to take a deep breath.

"Oh, you think I wouldn't give you the chance to refuse? Don't think I'm some kind of monster; after all, you're a little sorcerer, and I'm just someone ordinary; I could die at your hands if I tried to do anything."

Klaus let out the breathed air as he shook his head. "Miss Sua, would you like me to show you all my cards so you can see how valuable I am? And so, you can see that, even if you want to kill me or take me prisoner for yourself, I really can escape if I so desire."

"Oh." Sua Vinanne then frowned and replied flatly. "It seems you are more complex than I had imagined."

"Hahaha. They're just little tricks, Miss Sua."

"I don't like little tricks, Young Klaus."

"Too bad, I like to play with them, and I thought you would, too. After all, what do I feel? The difficulty in breathing in here is astounding. I guess this room is built on top of a giant tool to cut off air and all oxygen. A good trap for your enemies, if you ask me, Miss Sua." Klaus said, causing Sua to frown even more.

"Besides." Klaus added. "Your body is covered with a powerful and strange mineral that gives me the feeling of danger. I wonder if that's what they call Nithim. Honestly, it's a little scary to feel so many threats on my skin, but I'm not that disadvantaged, don't you think so, Miss Sua?" Klaus moved his gaze past her, looking out the window.

"After all, the sun has already set." Smiling, he turned his gaze back to Sua Vinanne and stared at her, waiting for her response.

After a few seconds, she smiled.

Instead of speaking, she raised her hand to her desk drawer, pulled out a bottle of good wine and another glass, poured herself, and then poured Klaus.

Then she grabbed her glass and waved it toward Klaus, for him to pick up his.

Klaus didn't refuse, he grabbed it, and they both clinked their glasses and took a sip.

Sua looked at him. "That's strange."

"That I took it?"

"Yes. Aren't you afraid it has poison in it?"

"Didn't you say you don't like tricks, Miss Sua? Using poison is a low trick."

"Do you believe me?"

"Not a bit."

"So?"

Klaus smiled. "It's nothing worth mentioning. I'm just sure the wine has no poison in it, because even though you use tricks, you're no fool."

Sua then sighed and drank all the wine as Klaus did.

"It's okay. Don't worry, I didn't invite you here to kill you. The mechanism you see in the room is my protection for when someone I can't beat and who hates me comes to see me. The Nithim..." She paused for a moment.

"If you know its name and what it looks or feels like, it means you might know something about Nithim Twice."
