Upon the Rainbow Bridge, iridescent light flowed beneath their feet like a silent river.
No one spoke.
Even their breathing sounded heavy.
Before long, the group returned to Black Stone Territory, materializing in the main hall of the Alchemy Workshop.
Just then, the Space Array in the center of the workshop—used for long-distance communication and Teleportation—lit up at almost the exact moment the group returned.
A brilliant, silver-blue radiance flared, and complex Magic Runes swirled rapidly across the floor, outlining a Magic Array.
Within the light, a slender figure slowly materialized.
It was Master Fran.
"Frank? You're back?"
Mage Delin asked.
Master Fran's gaze swept across everyone present.
He sighed. Instead of asking for details, he got straight to the point.
"I reported our findings to the Mage City and received a reply from the three Great Sages."
"They…"
Master Fran paused, as if gathering his thoughts.
"They've received the message."
