Later that night, Adam found himself in his underground laboratory.
This was the most secure place in his estate, away from the prying eyes of mortals and Magi alike.
It also contained a secret portal to his personal vault underneath Saratoga Castle.
However, he hadn't come here to travel to his massive underground vault filled with riches. No, there were things far more important than that at the moment.
Not only were Anna and her entourage leaving the following day, but he had just learned from Elrod that the forces of the Cult of the Bones had already arrived within the city.
The raven-haired youth sat at a large wooden table, his expression dark and contemplative.
He leaned forward, elbows resting on the surface, and interlocked his fingers beneath his chin as his eyes fixed on the items laid out before him.
His mind wandered.
I haven't sensed the presence of any Mana Core Magi in the city…
Could it be that they haven't arrived yet?
No!
His expression hardened.
