Chapter 326.2
“The abbot had a message for you.”
“What did he say?”
“Well, I’m not sure what it means, so I’ll just tell you as it was told to me. ‘If you walk through a confusing night, focus only on the distant lantern and move forward.’ …That’s what he said.”
Tuhalin scoffed, muttering under his breath.
“Old men are always like this. They mutter grandiose proverbs, expecting the listener to figure out what it all means on their own.”
Compared to Tuhalin’s age, even Evhar was practically an infant, but the straightforward dwarf wasn’t one to appreciate cryptic sayings. Isaac shared Tuhalin’s sentiment to some degree, but he couldn’t help but ponder Evhar’s intentions.
‘Gebel knew I ate rats. He didn’t know why or for what purpose, but he knew. Maybe Evhar also realized that I wasn’t an ordinary being.’
After all, Evhar had tried to test Isaac with the miracle of “Proof of Faith” and lost his hand for it. He must have known Isaac wasn’t just a regular person, but had he also realized that Isaac wasn’t a model follower of the Codex of Light?
There was no way to know Evhar’s thoughts now.
