For peace of mind and to gain more confidence, Adam reached out to his godfather to ask for his opinion regarding the brotherhoods. But when the tip of the pencil touched the biography, the three images that had appeared in the magical adventure were consecutively drawn on the pages of the yellow book.

Both Adam and Elias stared in astonishment at the images appearing on the pages. Finally, when the biography finished dissolving the last image, a text appeared that occupied half of the page, saying:

> "Don't touch the statues; it's a trap!"

Upon reading the message, Adam finally understood why the magical book was forced to destroy his godfather. This was an all-too-obvious clue about how to solve the book's riddle.

On the other hand, it seemed that his godfather still thought he was stuck in the infinite loop. So, Adam wrote back to tell him that he had managed to escape alive and also took the opportunity to update him on the current new problems.

After finishing writing, his godfather turned the written page and quickly replied on a blank sheet:

'If you're out of the loop, then you managed to read the 6 magical little books. Congratulations, Adam! Your father will be very proud when he admires your magical powers. Remember to visit him and tell me how the meeting went.

Regarding the brotherhoods, honestly, from what I recall, it was almost like spinning a roulette wheel and seeing what comes up. Since you don't know any wizards, it would be impossible for you to know more about them in-depth.

While the method for being selected by the brotherhoods is quite strange and random for my taste, the truth is they are more important than they seem. Depending on the brotherhood you choose, the modifications to your body and the advantages you gain will be different.

Moreover, don't mistake the name and think of the brotherhoods as a group of friends.

So to speak, the brotherhoods are a sub-branch of your religion. Imagine the goal of the wizard is only to read magical books throughout their life. That would be a monotonous life, even for a librarian. Therefore, it's likely that each wizard's brotherhood has other much more specific objectives.

However, those objectives are secrets to most librarians, and you don't have contacts. The tailor can reveal those secrets and guide you so you don't join brotherhoods with objectives that contradict your ideals. Additionally, the tailor will assist you during the interview, speaking with the brotherhood's guide, and recommending the most suitable options.

Truthfully, I hadn't planned on mentioning this to you because you're still quite young to join any brotherhood. But since you came across a tailor who can make symbols, you should get the magician's symbol.

Lastly, I advise you not to choose the Brotherhood of the Eternal: otherwise, you'll have to see your father being murdered by the same brotherhood to which you belong. Furthermore, you'll have to follow the Eternals to help them with their objectives; otherwise, you won't be able to advance in the wizard's religion."

Adam read the message written by his godfather and with more confidence, he said to Elias:

—Well, I'll choose a brotherhood for each religion I follow.

—Perfect, sit comfortably in the chair, and we'll start with the questions— Elias said, while searching for a specific page in his black notebook and reading it to Adam —Do you have any nickname?

—Young hero— Adam replied, unsure of the importance of this question.

—What social class do you belong to?— Elias asked, jotting down the previous answer in his little black notebook.

—I suppose it's high class; the character sheets are surplus right now...— Adam answered, uncertainly.

—Perfect — Elias said, noting the response —Do you have any quirks, strange habits, or other characteristics that define you?

—I like to read in the hallways; I got used to it when I was young— Adam commented —Also, I tend to walk very fast when I feel uncomfortable in a place.

—Alright, we're almost done — Elias said —What three words best describe your personality?

Adam pondered for a moment; he wasn't sure what to answer, so he ended up saying three words that more or less could define his life:

—Monotonous, boring, and persistent.

—Great, just one more question to go— Elias commented while writing —What kind of relationship did you have and do you have with your parents?

Adam thought for a while and said:

—I don't remember my real parents; my adoptive father kicked me out of the house when I was young. The closest thing to a father must be my biography, which most of the time seems to have no feelings. On the other hand, I've always had a good relationship with the bookshelf I grew up with, although it tried to kill me several times.

—Quite normal. We're done with the general questions now— Elias said, tearing out the page from his notebook where he had been writing the answers and getting up from the chair —Wait a few minutes, and I'll fetch a tool that will show you the different brotherhood options you can join.
