He then looked at the letter in Marcus' hand, took it and looked it over.
Of course, he had no idea what the emblem of the grand archmage looked like, but he had no intention of taking any heat from turning Marcus away.

The man swiftly went into the back of the building where Marcus assumed that people were working on their projects.
