CC'9Nero shook his head and said, "No, I don't. I apologize for even suggesting something like that."
In his mind, he couldn't help but think how naive he had been to expect to receive something as crucial and important as sorcerous knowledge. Of course it wouldn't be freely given. Nothing of value ever was in this world.
Suddenly, the tension surrounding Arthur dissipated like it had never been there in the first place.
"Sorcery is a gift from the gods, Nero. It is my personal belief that it should be shared amongst the masses, damn the Church's beliefs!"
Nero chuckled nervously as he glanced in the direction of the supervising sergeant. Seeing the man still staring emptily into space with a bored expression on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief. Aldric either hadn't heard Arthur's blasphemous statement, or he simply didn't care enough to intervene. Given what Nero had learned about Templars over the past weeks, the latter seemed more likely.
