Chương 185: Two Missions

ZINA

Zina momentarily forgot about her missing Staff while she concentrated on North's shocking revelation. Brutality was nothing new in their world, but the knowledge that one had happened during such a critical time nonetheless was shocking in fact.

"A man lost his tongue?" Zina repeated the words slowly as if it would make it make more sense than it already did.

"It happened at one of the registered inns. The man was found tied to the inn's post and gagged. When the gag was removed, his tongue was… missing. It had been cut off in one slice. I believe Beta DireWolf is already investigating."

Zina's jaw dropped open in disbelief, but she collected herself back. Surely, a man losing his tongue after a drunken brawl was nothing of great importance? But if Marcus was investigating and North was telling her about it, then the matter wasn't as insignificant as Zina thought of it.
