After an hour, Benjamin hurriedly flipped through the book; and when he came out from the designated reading room, he could no longer see Aldrich’s shadow.
What a strange old man.
Even though he didn’t understand Aldrich’s role in all of this, but according to Benjamin’s guess, he seemed like a typical old mage. His strength was profound and he was detached from everything and everyone. And he just dropped Benjamin an invitation to join the Mages Freemasonry.
Since this was the headquarters, it was pretty normal for the higher ups to show up.
So, Benjamin didn’t give it much thought since the guy wasn’t even here anymore. He went over to the front desk to return the book. Just as he was about to wander somewhere else to do god knows what, he was stopped by the mages.
"Excuse me, maintenance and repair work are still going on up front. No outside mages are allowed in because of the mess."
There really was a secret place as he expected...
