In the months following the war with the orcs, Adam had spent almost all his time healing his damaged Spirit Sea.
It was only after more than a year of recuperation that he was able to even get off the bed. It was then that Berger had taught him everything about the Twilight Brotherhood.
Their history, their code of conduct, how they operated, everything there was to know about this secret society, Adam had learned from the gnome already.
Of course, the information that Berger had divulged was only as much as any other Mana Liquefaction Magus in the organization should know.
That included the greeting that the members of this organization used to identify one another in public.
Adam was waiting for this middle-aged man to initiate the greeting. Even though he believed that this man was very likely from the Brotherhood, he still had to confirm it.
"Let's take a walk," the middle-aged man smiled, listening to Adam's response.
For some reason, this chapter was a little difficult for me to write. Perhaps it was the silent clash of ideals between two parties?
