Bab 391: Obstruction

Six days later.

After visiting several other small towns, Grimm had arrived at the final destination on the list, the municipality of Jardan.

At the end of the banquet prepared by the nobility, Grimm sat on the hall's platform with thirteen sorcerer-apprentice recruits standing behind him. They had unconsciously formed a small, yet relatively cooperative team, led by the four prodigy brothers.

On that night, many different childrens' hands touched the surface of the crystal ball. There were squeaky-clean hands, rough and calloused hands, some with tender, porcelain-like skin and even some that wore a decorative ring.

Time passed by in the blink of an eye.

There were still no signs of anyone from this small town with an inborn sorcerer's ability.

Grimm glanced at the gradually shorter line of children whose expressions grew increasingly worried. Some of them even had looks of defeated painted across their face.
