Sard seemed to be a bit slow and his eyes were dull, however, his smile was still very gentle and nice. He did not respond to Orvarit and Natasha’s question immediately, but followed his own pace to tell the story.

“Several months ago, some of our night watchers successfully targeted a sorcerer from the congress, which is very rare, since most of them who came to Aalto before never stayed here long, not to mention trying to contact the many hiding sorcerers in Aalto. After all, their shared goal was to find the remains of the ancient magic empire in the Dark Mountain Range.”

As far as I know, that’s something that the congress has been working on for more than two hundred years.” As a pious believer, the grand duke definitely knew much more about sorcerers than most other people did.
