This news created a second wave of shock in the tower, and discussions began again, this time more intense than before.
"Who is the new candidate?"
"How could they have chosen so quickly?"
"Perhaps there was already a second option."
Daniel's name was the first to be raised in many circles.
"He's the only one who fully comprehended the tablet!"
"The thousand spells also chose him."
"If anyone is worthy, it's him."
But objections immediately arose.
"He barely counts as a member of the tower."
"He hasn't even been here for a month!"
"How could an outsider become the tower's heir?"
Then another name was raised.
Serys.
She had received special authority in recent days, had played a major role in reopening the murder case, and was in direct communication with the tower leader and the Supreme Council.
And most importantly, she was one of the few mages of the new generation who had both the power and the credibility to enter the succession competition.
