Knock! Knock!
A rhythmic sound of knocking could be heard on an old door of a dilapidated small house inside Linston. The door creaked open after the knocks and a face appeared.
The man simply looked at the hooded figure in front of him before extending his hand. The figure extended his own hand and dropped a small stone into the hand of the man who looked at it before pouring in some mana.
A small number and two symbols appeared on the stone. The number 23 shone with a dark green light while the two symbols shone with different colors.
One symbol was a snake that had three tails and shone yellow, signifying that the person was a high-ranking individual in the organization, while the second one, a ghost-like figure that swayed to the side shone a pale red.
The man simply returned the stone before closing the door. Upon the door closing, sounds of multiple locks being unlocked and some arrays being dispelled were heard before the door opened and the figure came inside.
