Chương 1486: Interrogation

Emery stood before the old magus with a sense of unease. The man's piercing gaze seemed to bore into his very soul. 

Unfortunately for him, having Annara, a Bat Bloodline magus as a companion only added to the old magus' distrust. After all, the Wolf and the Bat bloodline had a long history of conflict, they have been at each other's throats for hundreds of years. 

Emery respectfully said, "Elder, we are not part of the bat faction, nor are we here as spies. We came uninvited, yes, but we didn't realize it was such a crime, and for that, I apologize." 

The Elder's eyes narrowed until they turned to slits, and Emery could clearly feel the weight of his judgment bearing down on him. He tried to maintain his composure, but it turned out to be difficult when he could see several magus positioning themselves to block his escape. 

Looking at the unconvinced old magus stood so close to Annara, he added.
