Inside the ancient magical device for communication, a series of interference noises came through. Belna, however, was indifferent to them. She merely maintained a smile and patiently waited for a few seconds, then heard a raspy, deep voice, like dry branches rubbing against each other, emanating from the device:
"Today's wasteland remains as dull as every day before—Preceptor Beltira, why have you suddenly contacted us through the Shadow Bridge?"
"I wanted to verify the situation at the outpost," Belna, a guise for Beltira, a mid-level leader of the cult organization, said flatly. "You should already know that those blind monsters have simultaneously attacked the borders of Typhon and Anzu."
"…Everything on 'this side' of the wall is under control. The incidents outside the wall are unrelated to us, Your Excellency."
