Tap.
Ergander, who had been sitting alone for some time, set his cup of tea on the table and took a deep breath.
His gaze drifted into the distance, as he knew that by now Adam must have already reached the Fallen Amber Sun.
"Very soon, he'll activate the Vibrating Stone. Well, I hope he finds what he's looking for. Each of us has been in his shoes at one time or another. But… Will he be willing to pay the price? He's not the only one who wants to become stronger."
Whooooooosh!
At that very moment, a black dot appeared in the distance. It was moving toward Ergander at high speed, but even so, it would take nearly half a minute to reach him.
"Oh, I've got a little time, right?"
With a warm smile, Ergander went into his house and came out twenty seconds later, setting a teapot full of green tea, two cups, and a plate of the same cookies he'd served Adam on the table.
It seemed as though Ergander was waiting for a good friend, and that wasn't far from the truth.
Tremble!
