Matins of the Sixth Day

Death of Malachi

During the chanting of the 'Sederunt principes,' Malachi of Hildesheim collapses and dies, poisoned in the same manner as Venantius and Berengar. His last words are 'He told me... truly. It had the power of a thousand scorpions.' This confirms that the book is poisoned and that Jorge is the mastermind behind the murders. The abbot is now the only person who knows the library's secrets.
