Chapter 58 - 58. Hope (1/2)
On the next day, by the time the rooster crow.
Seven figures appeared on the horizon line with the sun behind them.
It was Raz and the other warlocks.
Noticing them coming, Mack stopped studying the rune circuits he engraved in his mind, he was trying to replicate a few small ones that he saw at the mage tower.
Raz approached Mack and threw his mask back to him while also putting his bag by the side.
While putting on his mask, Mack gave a quick look at the warlocks, and didn't see any injury.
It seemed everything went smoothly again.
”Did you get info about another one?”
Asked Mack after putting the Mask.
Raz gave a quick nod.
”How far is it?”
Raz raised 1 finger, then closed his hand and pointed to the south.
”Ten miles south? Its not far.”
Raz shook his head.
”A hundred miles?”
Raz gave a quick nod.
”Shit. is too far. We don't have time to go there.”
Raz gave a quick nod. He knew too that they didn't have many time to spare.
Mack took the bag and looked inside. It had now 24 crystals there. This was their third time robbing a tower.
Mack's gaze went back to Raz.
”And what about the mage army? Any news?”
Raz shook his head.
”Ok that leave us with a few days if they depart anytime from now.”
Mack looked at west and wondered why they were still there. The war was over. Probably there were a few warlocks that run and hid, but for an army of that size they should have searched the entire area in not more than a day.
Mack could not guess the reason of why they were still there.
”Lets hope that whatever is delaying them keep pestering them until we finish the next part of the plan.”
Mack threw the bag onto his back and started walking.
”Come! lets find a more secluded place. We can't do the next part in the open.”
The green plains stretched by miles and miles, but from time to time, small lakes and tree lines appeared. They just needed to find a place like that. One that would avoid any curious passer-by.
”Oh by the way, I forgot to ask, why the mages at the first tower seemed so concerned when you talked with them?”
Raz's gaze went up, like trying to remember something, then talked something.
For a brief moment, he forgot Mack could not hear.
Raz raised his hand and pointed his finger to the front.
