The Tower Master didn't bother going the long way this ti and simply used the mage tower's teleport to appear in front of the laboratories door. It wasn't locked and the door stood slightly ajar, so Seth carefully pushed it open to peek inside.
Beyond the door was darkness. The lights inside the lab were turned off. What was she doing with all lights off?
"Evee? Can I co in?" he asked into the darkness.
"Seth? Do you need sothing from ?" she asked surprised. At a snap of her fingers, the lights in the lab went on, revealing all kinds of specialized equipnt for making elaborate enchantnts, the arcane kind.
Evee stood at one of the work tables, whatever she had been working on was now covered by a sealed box.
"Were you working on sothing?" Seth asked, nodding toward the box.
"Jup, I'm working on a case for the flash grenade potion Alison is developing. When I'm done it should be like a modern grenade and further enhance the power of the potion. But it can't be exposed to light during the crafting process, or else it will incinerate prematurely;" she explained with enthusiasm.
Her fervent explanation and effort showed that the immortal witch didn't just have a talent for enchantnts, but a passion. It was a sha she didn't care about weapon enchantnts, or she could have beco their most reliable enchanter.
"That sounds great. I ca to bring you this," he said and lifted the scepter.
Like a short staff, it was roughly half a ter long and intricately carved from dark-gray tal. At the top shone a dark orb with a purple hue. This was the scepter Sivri created using the Orb of Dusk and every bit of special Seth had left.
With over 10 refined parts of the Soul of the 24th Ethnarch that were boiled down to their powers of sorcery, magic, and necromancy, the scepter was the perfect weapon for a necromancer and Witch like Evee.
Not only gave Evee's class as an immortal Witch Seth hope that she would have a chance to even use the improvents to light magic, but her special trait to turn into an undead upon death also gave her ample opportunity to use the assassin-like skills of the Orb of Dusk. Not to ntion that they would increase her overall survivability. As a necromancer in the middle of a mighty rotten army, she would be targeted as the weakest link in the chain.
"Oh~ This is great! It will be a great help since I beca the chosen of Persephone," she casually dropped a bomb.
"You-What? You beca a chosen of Persephone? When?" Seth asked flabbergasted.
"Oh, didn't I tell you?... I might have forgotten to ntion it. It was during the last exploit in the Holy Land. While you guys were jumping Dungeons, I supported the Oathguards and Adventurers in battle. That was when it happened." she shrugged. During her whole explanation, she didn't take her eyes off the scepter even once.
"So? Co on, tell , what is the class called? What can you do?" Seth asked eagerly.
After a mont of pondering, Evee explained that her Necromancer class had been turned to Underworld Fairy. Persephone was the Queen of the Underworld for half a year, but she was also a goddess of spring and fertility for the other half of the year. Like the goddess, her new class also had a dualistic nature, which made it similar to her class as an Immortal Witch.
On one hand, the Underworld Fairy had all the powers of a Necromancer but strengthened. This represented the queen of the underworld. On the other hand, as a goddess of spring and fertility, the few support powers the Necromancer class had for the undead were trendously strengthened. Passive skills included that resurrected corpses would have a higher intellect and a health regeneration, which was out of the norm for normal undead.
She was even given the privilege to bind a certain number of undead to herself. This ant that these servants could not die. If they were destroyed in battle, she would simply have to wait for a cooldown to run out before she could summon them again.
"Your class is really unfair." Seth sighed, thinking of all the work he had to put in to get so many strong creatures under his command. At least his slled better and were easier on the eyes,
"It is, isn't it? It's a sha that I don't have that kind of fetish, or I might really beco a galomaniac. I wish the class added so enchantnt buff," she sighed, too.
"We can't have everything. Be happy with having two broken classes," Seth joked, getting a smile out of the stoic Evee.
They talked a little longer about her new class and how it could interact with the scepter when a sudden announcent made Seth's brain grind to a halt.
