Ferryman grinned. "Xelloss Astar, the famous playwright who have already produced six popular operas in Sturk."
He did not avoid the boatman paddling in the front, since the boatman was also one of the core members of the Congress of Magic in Sturk.
"He’s a sorcerer as well?" asked Lucien. Astar’s identity for disguise was basically the same as his own.
"Yes, he is." Ferryman nodded and said in respect, "He is a Shadow Mentor."
"Mentor?" Lucien was surprised.
In the ancient magic empire, anyone who could be respected as a mentor would be at least a senior-rank mage.
"Of course. Although I’m not sure about Mr. Astar’s specific level, without doubt, he’s of senior rank. Actually, we have a couple of senior-rank mages in Sturk, but some of them are out of town right now, and they would rarely carry out tasks themselves," explained Ferryman.
