Crystal Door Bayer, the Ninth Rank Limit leading the royal faction this time, stepped forward and fixed Yogson with an icy stare.
"It was only a normal test. Didn't you just do the same thing yourselves?"
Yogson, however, paid no heed to the Empire's anger. With his hands clasped behind his back, he lowered his head slightly and gazed at the Holy Book in his palm.
"And what about the Council? What do you all think?"
As Yogson's words fell, another group of Professionals clad in various robes emerged from the other side of the sea.
Rather strangely, a huge rectangular metal cabinet floated among them. Its body was dark gold, its surface covered in Magic Runes of Seal.
"His Eminence Yogson, His Eminence Bayer, it is a great honor to meet you all here."
A young man with black hair and silver eyes stepped out from the crowd. Dressed in a robe seemingly woven from stars and the heavens, he stood at the forefront of the mages and gave a standard mage's salute to the experts of the Two Great Empires.
A gentle wind of Mana carried his words across the skies above the entire sea.
"Mystic Seeker Orvanni! You came too?"
At the sight of him, Yogson's expression grew slightly more solemn.
"I had no choice. This was a request from Lord Star Gazer, so I had to come in person.
"Of course, from my own perspective, I'm also quite curious about these Ruins from beyond the Ceiling Wall. But whenever I think about having to fight you people, I just can't work up any enthusiasm."
With a somewhat helpless expression, Orvanni shrugged and spoke in a negotiable tone.
"So, I have a suggestion. Could you please leave quietly on your own? It would be better for everyone."
