150 150. Hindered

Noah entered the building right after Errol left.

"This way."

Thaddeus spoke, appearing on top of the stairs leading to the first floor.

Noah hastened his steps and followed him.

They passed many closed rooms and Noah's gaze lingered on one of them that had a transparent glass that occupied half of its door.

Inside, Ruth was meditating in an environment full of runes.

That action seemed to demand her full concentration as her brows were furrowed and sweat ran down her forehead.

"My disciple is training. Even if she is born with the natural talent of hearing the "Breath", she still has a lot of work to do before she will be able to perform her first inscription."

Noah moved his gaze away from the room and continued to follow Thaddeus until they were in one of the last rooms of the corridor.

Thaddeus sat behind a large and carefully adorned desk and gestured to Noah to occupy one of the couches in front of him.
