As they all looked at Darius and Zinnia, it was Darius who opened his mouth first. He shrugged and said, "Look, we don't know what is happening either, all right? When I used the magic stone to light up my room, I realized that we could use magic. That's when we started testing magic stones and no one came to bother us."
"How can that be?" Veronica couldn't understand what was happening. "The holy city is covered with a layer or the blessing of the powerful Head Priest, Saint Ava and the blessed child, that is me. The last time I was here, I've personally checked the layer myself and added a bit of my power to strengthen it. Even if I wasn't here, the Head Priest would keep an eye on it. No magic stone is supposed to work here."
"About the Head Priest," Zinnia and Darius exchanged glances before Zinnia stated, "He is no more."
Veronica fell on her knee. Her head spun. She wasn't expecting to hear this news.
