Chapter 690: Convincing Ancient Scholars! (1)

Several Arch-Mages could be seen within the vast space, each tending to a cube that housed something which had taken their interest. Some seemed to have disciples that they entered within the cubes with, and some looked anxious as they prepared calamitous spells with which to deal with the captives... just in case. There was usually a price to pay for venturing into the unknown, and sometimes, it was unforgiving.

The group watched several of these scenes from the distance while Arch-Mage Ryte led them elsewhere – deeper into the formation of tall cubes.

"Gilly my boy. You had concerns about those monsters being secured here at the Academy?" Ryte asked without turning back to the City Guardian.

"Not anymore. I think you know what you're doing," Gillewart replied with a relieved sigh.
