[A.N: 2-in-1 chapter]
Some time earlier…
Alric Wastelander stood before a floating orb. Within its shimmering surface, the faces of Otto Reichert and Erman Machholt flickered into view.
The orb was a magic crystal ball—one of the older communication methods used by the powerhouses of Pangea long before the advent of the Rune Phone.
The magic crystal balls were the most widespread long-distance communication tool favoured by the major factions of the Arun Continent before the Rune Phone.
Though "favoured" was used generously.
The communication method had a major flaw. Every call required mana stones. Not only that, it didn't matter was grade of stone was used to power the crystal orb, the stone was consumed completely irrespective of how short the call was.
Even a single second of communication would consume a high-grade mana stone in its entirety.
