Chapitre 192: Facing a Master

Arran waited for their pursuer in the ruins of the city wall, hidden amid large pieces of stone debris. While the ruined wall had mostly collapsed, its wretched state created numerous places to hide, and Arran had chosen one where even the most observant eyes would find it hard to spot him.

As he waited, he thought about what could still go wrong with his plan.

The biggest risk was that the Master already knew what lay inside Uvar, and would refuse to go inside. That would not bring any immediate danger — Arran and the two novices were safely inside, after all — but it would allow the Master to wait for reinforcements.

And although if Arran was confident that a Master could not easily withstand the city's pressure, if any Grandmasters and Archmages arrived, it would be another matter.
