The Witch Hunter System

Shortly after, her gaze fell on the pendant worn about his neck before her brows knitted slightly.

”You ’re still keeping this useless Etherstone? The mana has already completely dried up. If you want, I can just gift you a new Etherstone. Money is not an issue, ” Lady Eniwse spoke casually while returning to her desk.
