In the meantime, we learn that the master is ill and needs to be taken away. We learn that he has found his master's research notes in the furnace, and that he was the one who threw him into it six months ago. This is the same man who threw the master into the furnace and killed him a second time. This man is the man who has been trying to divide the two of them. He says that he planted poison in him to control the hesham booth, and if he does not kill him instantly, he will die. The prophecy says that the soul of the dead man will die by the silver robed god of east, who has carried him all this time, from the Hall of Gods. This means that he knew that he would be killed from the beginning. The reason he kept the master alive is obvious.
