Chapter 200: The Patriarch's Palace

"Entering the city unnoticed will be difficult," the gray-haired mage said. "Even ignoring the many people in the streets, there are too many guards and formations that could reveal us."

"More than just difficult, I would say," Elder Naran replied. "It should be downright impossible. Heavens know we've worked long enough to make it so."

The other man furrowed his brow. "But then, how will we reach the Patriarch without being found?"

The giant Elder smile calmly. "We won't. Now that we've reached the capital, we will no longer hide our presence. Quite the opposite, in fact — I intend for every mage in the city to know exactly why we're here. Any of the traitors act against us, they'll be up against the entire Valley."

The gray-haired Elder slowly nodded. "I suppose you're right. There's no point in hiding now."
