Bab 687: Bribery.

“Elder, the Star Peaking Array has lit up again! There’s another tear in space!” a young mage announced, clad in a distinct robe that marked his rank just like most mages in the room.

The room buzzed with urgency as other mages hurried to the elder who had just returned from meeting the king of the Northern Kingdom.

Hearing the report, the elder immediately shifted through space, appearing in the center of the array in the blink of an eye.

Closing his eyes, he began moving his hands in intricate patterns, conjuring glowing runes that floated from his fingers and seamlessly merged with the ones already orbiting in the air.

The display of skill left the observing mages in awe, as they witnessed a level of rune mastery far beyond their comprehension.
