607 Delayed Message

Wolfe awoke with a start to hear banging on his door just before dawn the next morning, and someone desperately calling his name.

"Patriarch, please wake up. You have a summons to the castle. Please, the door is locked with magic and I can't get in." The voice pleaded.

Wolfe opened the door to see a dishevelled maid with a letter in her hands. She turned it over to him with a sigh of relief, and then took another from her apron and ran off, presumably to deliver the next message.

Wolfe opened the letter and read the content.

[Things have changed. Get to the castle before breakfast, we need to finish the alarm upgrades.]

Minister William sent a messenger even before Wolfe was up to have breakfast, summoning both him and Rail to the Castle to begin work on the [Alarm] spells, using what knowledge they had gained from a single day of research.
