Chapter 84: Found Mold
Two days had passed since Joe and his team began sifting through the documents that Sorin had gone through at the Archive. During that time, Archmage Dakka had sent Joe's team a detailed list of items he wanted them to focus on while combing through the paperwork.
Under normal circumstances, Joe might have ignored such an order; he hated feeling like he was being turned into a mere paper-pusher. However, this directive came from an archmage of the university, and it was difficult to refuse such a request.
Currently, Joe, Dan, Sandra, and Mike were seated in the same private room at the Archive where they had first been led. Given the sheer volume of documents they needed to comb through, Joe decided it would be more efficient to meet at the Arcanium Archive instead of gathering at the police station or the university for now on.
They had asked Sandra, the head librarian, if they could reserve the private room for the next week. She generously booked the room for an entire month and even offered to help them with the documents. Joe readily accepted her assistance, knowing it would greatly speed up the process and save them all valuable time.
They were all currently combing through more books.
Dan let out a long sigh.
Dan: “This isn't as bad as the forms for the university, but it’s still tedious. How long is it going to take us to get through all this?” he said while putting the book he was reading down to take a break.
Sandra: “Hmm, I’d say based on the rate you are all going, about a week and half. Maybe before the end of the week if we pick up the pace,” she said while continuing to flip through a book.
Mike: “We’re more apt to miss something if we rush through this.”
