The Last Sacrifice
“Boaz thrust several bound scrolls toward Maglorius. “Contracts. Properly witnessed. Transferred and witnessed again. Penalties agreed upon if payments overdue. It’s all legal.”
Maglorius had risen as Boaz and the five men approached. Boaz had been unsuccessful raising extra men. He wasn’t surprised. Sounds of skirmishes between the royal troops of the upper city and the rebels of the lower city had been reaching him all morning.
“You are too kind,” Maglorius said. “If you don’t mind, tell me th...e sum of the debts outstanding and to which merchants they were owed.”

“There’s the difficulty,” Maglorius said. He made no move to open any of the scrolls. “I don’t read.”
“You don’t read.” Boaz was stunned. He’d gone to all this effort. It had been a battle to convince the keepers of the records to let him leave the Repository of the Archives with them.MoreLess
