Even Head Instructor Darius Faulkner was apparently in a good mood because he sent them the reward of catching Zigi the next day.
"So this is the reward," Julius said. He adjusted his glasses.
It was evening, and they were in the House building. They crowded around Julius, who was holding the paper.
Severin, who'd already read the paper, sat at the head of the table and folded his fingers together as he tried to make sense of what Darius sent to him.
One thing was clear: Darius Faulkner was sending him another test. Or the man was just trying to kill him.
"What's so bad about this?" Derrick asked. He scratched his head. "He's sending us to a place that's filled with such wealth, so why do you look as if you've tasted something bad, Julius?"
Ethan snorted and answered instead. "It's true that the location is filled with Etherion stones, but it's also cursed."
"Cursed?" Serena asked. She swallowed, her eyes on Ethan as if he was going to start a horror story.
