"Hearing you say this, does this person still hold value for the Witch Assembly?" Aiden asked, looking at Qiqimora.
"His black magic research, whether it's his own or stolen from others, would mostly be destroyed or sealed if given to the Heretic Inquisition, but it is of great value to us," Qiqimora spoke slowly. "Besides, he possesses authority over 'matter,' a power..."
"You want to learn it?" Aiden asked.
"I do, but at the moment... I'd prefer to focus on a single authority since I'm already close to my goal. By comparison, Vila would probably be more eager to learn, as she is pursuing the authority over 'matter.'" Qiqimora lowered her voice, "We could make an offer to her. Whatever compensation she provides, we split it seventy-thirty, with the larger share going to you."
