Chapter 327: Lindon
Alwin prevented Jacob from making a mana explosion when he was about to be executed. He had cast a spell in advance which prevented Jacob from using magic. This was why the trial and execution went well without any incidents.
With the execution over, Arabella and Ferdinand returned to the mansion, as Alwin went after the soul who escaped.
There was a ton of work to do so while catching up with work, they waited for Alwin to return. But even after two days, he did not come back. He had not contacted Ferdinand or Riley either.
Arabella was beginning to get worried. Meanwhile, her husband was all chill about it. Perhaps it was because he believed in Alwin’s abilities and trusted him.
But Alwin still had most of his limiters, what he could do here was still limited. What if there were other magicians waiting to ambush him?
"Ferdinand, do you think Alwin is alright? This is the longest he didn’t return quickly," she eyed her husband, and he simply smiled. Alwin usually only took hours or less.
"Don’t worry about him. That boy has a lot of pride. If that was indeed the soul that occupied Hayden, Alwin would not allow him to escape again. Alwin won’t return until he catches whoever it was," her husband assured her.
Ferdinand explained that Alwin had intentionally allowed the soul to leave Jacob’s body so he could follow where he would go. It was to learn his origins and know if he had a master or other allies. He must have gone quite far which was why Alwin wasn’t back yet.
’Right. Alwin doesn’t want to disappoint Ferdinand. He would only return with results.’
