After some time, more and more villagers started to fail the test. The constant pattern noticed here by Arthur was the high age of those failing, as the more to exceed twenty years, the more failures there were.
However he wasn't depressed by this, as any villager who could be a mage would be an addition to his growing force. In addition to that, he intended to invade other clans soon, so many other villagers would be tested, and much more mages would be added.
Those who failed the test were handled by Ron, who started to transform a big part of the garden, and the area adjacent to it into cooking pits. He used the seasonings Arthur gave him, selected from the garden he had now in possession, and that made the meat cooked here had more value than before.
Soon everything started to take a strange familiar turn to when they were in the forest, and by nightfall, the number of villagers coming here reached the climax, with the return of everyone, headed by Madly.
