Chapter 261: Unstable Magic

"They must be looking for any signs of sigils that might have recorded the promises or whatever conversation that they had," said Third Eye with a calm voice. "Witches, even halflings have the habit of using recording sigils instead of human mechanisms like voice recorders or cellphones. They don’t trust them as they don’t work well with magic."

Third Eye walked over to the wall and tapped his fingers on it. At first, nothing happened, but then a second later, cracks appeared on the plaster of the wall like veins protruding out of the concrete. The glowing white lines were concentrated behind the cupboard that was sitting in the office.

Third Eye turned and looked at them, and Killian walked over to the cupboard before pushing it away from the spot where the glowing white lines were joining. As soon as he pushed the wooden cupboard away, the sight behind it appeared.

The wall had been burnt, and it must have been some kind of special fire or spell. Because the blackened edges were not wild, as if the flames had tried to escape and burn everything around them. No, whatever it was, it was circulated within a circle.

Killian couldn’t see anything, but Third Eye, who was used to hunting witches and wizards, did notice something. He walked over and pointed at the centre. "Here, you see it? Within the spiral glyphs, there is a sign of Mannaz. It’s drawn to record a memory. Most probably, this halfling was worried that the one who promised him would go back on their promise; thus, he recorded not just voices but memories."

"No wonder they killed him," grunted Third Eye as he pulled his hand away from the destroyed sigil. "Pure blooded witches never like it when halflings like him try to pull sly tricks behind them."
