Thirty minutes inside the sermon.
The bearded head priest, after a brief history, started to conduct a spiritual lecture. The man's frail but wise and smooth voice amplified the effects of the already deep messages.
Every one of the participants- be it the nobles above, most of whose motives were to make connections or the commoner below, many of whom had come just to fill their stomachs- listened to the loud words with utmost attention.
Almost everyone.
"Understood?" Adrian asked. His eyes were fixed on the lectern. There was a slight smile on his face.
His three companions nodded.
The sermon went on. Despite the nightfall, the hall was as bright as ever. The grand chandelier above and a dozen of well placed light magic circles were functioning properly.
But despite all those sources of light, it was… cold.
A lot of the poor commoners below, who barely covered their bodies with thin clothes, began to shiver.
