Meeting and Message

Anvis asked himself: if he were the Star Gazer, upon discovering Anvis's true identity, he would absolutely have left all critical information for the other two Speakers at the first opportunity.

Even if he had fallen back into slumber after forcibly banishing Gray Mist, the Star Gazer had had more than enough time before that to leave behind information and strategies targeting him.

And after learning of his threat, they still had not stopped Olbins from keeping the appointment. This meant the Magic Council's attitude was likely somewhat different from what he had previously expected.
