Chapter 193: Necromancers

"I was taken by surprise when Artemus came to me about the corpse. Now I know you were behind it," Qairu said to the violet-eyed mage.

"If you're worried he might find out about your side hobby, I'm assuring you that he won't."

Qairu paused to reflect on Syryn's confidence in secrecy. Necromancy was as illegal as they came and he wasn't taking any chances with such a high ranking member of the Sanguine as Artemus.

"I viewed one corpse, a male in his thirties. I wasn't told anything about how he passed away but from the condition of his body, I instantly guessed that it had something to do with dark magic."

"You mean to say that it leaves a mark on the body?" Syryn had never heard of such a thing before.
