Bab 72: Chapter 72: Traceable

Again we were met with silence on our visit instead of aggressive rejection, and it had me wondering what the maji leader, Zeon, was up to. He'd threatened my son, threatened me along the way. And though I honestly considered the old maji a coward at heart, I was on a knife's edge waiting to see what he would do when he finally made his move.
