Temporarily Away

Whoosh!

Accompanying the jade-green flames in the fireplace, the corvus sculpture on top chirped suddenly, "Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp!"

Its sound was hoarse and husky, with a feeling of inauspiciousness.

"Coming!"

Jemc had a black gown draped over him as he immediately moved forward. He took down the wax cylinder that had been sent through the flames from the bird's claws.

"This is an urgent document from the Stan Duchy."

He took a glance before leaving the room with the long cylinder that had the document inside.

From what could be seen, it was a giant building that was like an ant nest. Large amounts of people draped in black gowns were going in and out of the cave as though they were working ants.

"Your Excellency!"

Jemc increased his walking pace and arrived at a large, black door before knocking on it lightly.

"Come in."
