Requiem paused, surprised to be called back so suddenly.
After all, Chester wasn't just anyone; he was a Tier 4 mage and held immense authority in Golden Card City. Anything he offered would carry serious weight.
"No matter what brought you here, you came on behalf of someone I trust," Chester said, reaching into his robe. "Take these. Give them to Master Nora. They may prove useful."
He handed over a glowing, flame-colored crystal and a sealed letter.
"Thank you, Lord Chester. I won't let you down," Requiem said with a respectful nod, gripping the items carefully.
