His knuckles protruded out like iron nails, effortlessly leaving a fist imprint on the table surface.

“Quiet, Sawyer, I’m thinking.” Another Death Herald Guild observer said discontentedly:

“Don’t you think there’s one less person at the meeting?

“Who’s missing? Parker.” Sawyer dragged a chair over, collapsed into it, and lit a roll of cigarettes in his mouth.

The Death Herald Guild observer named Parker had two lanky arms without a trace of muscle, covered in pale skin that clung tightly to the bones.

Parker lit a roll of cigarettes for himself, exchanged cloud-like puffs with his companion while pondering:

“I don’t know who it is, but I have an idea. Think about it, the wandering wizards who showed up at the debate earlier, aren’t they the ones we’ve seen before? So, that chair must have been left for the new wandering wizard.”

“The new wandering wizard? Who?” Sawyer took several quick drags on his cigarette and exhaled a large cloud of smoke.

“I don’t know.” Parker shrugged:

“Lately, we’ve been busy tracking the Bone-mending Wand, and we haven’t had time to inquire about the Elemental Judgement whether any new wandering wizards have arrived recently.”

The more Sawyer smoked, the more irritable he became. He finished one, put on a new one, and the speed of his speech accelerated:

“So what? What are you trying to say, Parker? What does the absence of a wandering wizard at the debate have to do with the Bone-mending Wand? Maybe he had to leave suddenly.”

“I don’t think it’s that simple.” Parker took a deep drag and slowly exhaled: “Haven’t you noticed? Before the debate started, we were all arguing like cats and dogs, but from time to time, Elemental Wizards would leave. First, it was that little girl named Betty Davis, then the only two-ring Elemental Wizard, Philia. These two left the meeting one after the other, and after Philia left,

Betty returned. What does that tell you, Sawyer? Use your brain.” “What could that mean?!” Sawyer impatiently slammed the table: “Just tell me, Parker! My mind isn’t as good as yours, and you know that!” Parker sneered and raised his voice:

“Tsk. You shouldn’t have tinkered with your mind in the first place. Can’t you figure this out? Philia and Betty’s departure from the meeting probably means they went to find the wandering wizard who was absent! They’re hiding something from us!”

Parker sucked the remaining roll of cigarettes in one breath, speaking amid the thick smoke:

“The tutors of Elemental Judgement cannot leave Lower Town and can only operate on the ground level of Union City. This is the rule set by the Wizard Advancement Association for these institutional tutors. Philia is the only one among this generation of local Elemental Wizard students who has reached the second ring. Her presence signifies an important task arranged by the Elemental Judgement. No matter what Elemental Judgement wants to do, we must keep a close eye on Philia and follow her closely.”

Sawyer rubbed his head, thought for ten-odd seconds, and finally caught up with Parker’s train of thought:

“Do you mean, if she goes to Fissure Corridor, if she goes to Black City, should we follow her?”

“Yes, wherever she goes, we go. We can always…” Parker’s tone became gloomy, and he gestured a throat-cutting motion towards Sawyer.

“You want to kidnap her?” Sawyer’s eyes immediately brightened, but then he looked fearful in the next second:
