Archmage Elric had already suspected as much.
And sure enough, the moment he mentioned departing tonight, the three of them nodded almost simultaneously, confirming his guess without hesitation.
Seeing their reaction, the old archmage let out a quiet sigh before turning around.
"Very well," he murmured.
He began issuing instructions, quickly deciding which of his mages would accompany Zion and Maxwell as field support, and which ones would remain behind with him to construct the teleportation portal. A few others were tasked with assisting the preparations and maintaining communication with the Royal Capital's communication center, ensuring that everything would be ready the moment the portal was activated.
Zion, Maxwell, and the rest of their team didn't take long to finish their preparations. Archmage Elric quickly selected five mages to accompany them as field support before turning his attention back to coordinating with the communication center.
