Chapter 159: Secrets Revealed (1)
After some time passed, the old man, whose name Adrian discovered was Bellion, sat with his hands folded across his chest, waiting for Adrian to start asking his questions.
Adrian hadn’t mentioned anything about asking questions to Bellion, who was under his control now. But it seemed that even though he was under Adrian’s influence, the assassin in Bellion was as cunning as ever.
"You’re too smart for your own good, old timer," Adrian shook his head, sitting across the table. "Had it not been for my eyes and your low magic resistance, I’d be gone for good."
"The youngun these days are too weak," Bellion scoffed. "How is it my fault?"
"Of course, it’s not," Adrian rolled his eyes before turning the conversation in the intended direction. "I know for a fact that my disguise was impeccable. Still, you knew I wasn’t Red but an impostor. How?"
Bellion smiled and pointed above. Adrian followed his hand and noticed a detail that he had missed before. The room’s ceiling was covered in a mysterious design, a constellation of sorts, carefully etched with glowing lines and symbols.
But that wasn’t all. Adrian noticed that all ’stars’ had names, and some of the spots were blank, but the name below that spot made it evident that there had been something in those places before.
One such spot had the name Red etched onto it, and Adrian understood everything he needed to.
"That’s the list of all the Ravens?" Adrian asked, still looking at the constellation above.
