Adam sat quietly in the tavern's seat. It had been a few days since he traveled with the rebels, and with an obsidian ring in him, his hair had grown long, just like his twin brother's usual hairstyle. In the group, no one but Holter knew who he really was, and he advised him not to talk too much and look as serious as possible.
Back in Leoniva, when Physician Solomon fully dressed his wound, he introduced one of his assistants to Adam. Her name was Inflicta, and she was the rebels' herbalist. She offered a medicinal pill, which was made from a decoction with the rare lilac plant's roots growing deep in the Ancil Mountains.
This was the secret to his quick recovery, but there was a catch.
Inflicta gave him Maro's letter. According to the letter, Maro discovered and confirmed, after his investigations, what the artifact in the bell tower truly was.
