"My Lord."
Carl's figure appeared at the dining hall entrance.
"Carl?"
Raylo was a little surprised.
"It's so early. Is there an emergency?"
"No, My Lord."
Carl said, wringing his hands.
"It's... it's Master Delin and Master Wendel! They've returned!"
"And... the two masters brought a friend with them!"
"Someone... also from the Mage City. A Legendary Mage!"
Another Legendary Mage!
Raylo's heart skipped a beat.
The two masters had gone to such great lengths, even inviting an equally powerful ally from the distant Mage City. Their goal could only be one thing.
The gate Phillips had left behind—the one leading to the Furnace of All Things!
"Let's go take a look."
Without hesitating, Raylo set down his cup of black tea and strode briskly out of the dining hall.
He was filled with excitement.
'Today might just be the day,' he thought, 'the day we finally uncover the greatest secret of Black Stone Territory.'
