Aiden pondered for a while, then asked another question, "If Professor Dodge wants to stop Gistas's project, why not make it public? Or just kill everyone involved in the project?"
With the Hands of Erasure at his disposal, along with the dark magic controlled by Professor Dodge and the possible command of the divine word, assassinating a political figure should not be difficult for him.
"Perhaps he wants to completely prevent the project from being restarted," Heinz speculated, "The Empire has set a precedent, and the military sector of the Kingdom has given the research progress. As long as conditions are met, many forces would be interested in this project."
"But he has been there for at least two years, did he make any major moves during these two years?" Aiden asked.
"Indeed, he seems to have a lot of patience, which is a bit hard to explain," Heinz agreed with Aiden's confusion.
