The pale golden interactive interface and the trembling ring symbolizing Omega's artificial intellect appeared before Balogar, accompanied by Omega's emotionless synthetic voice: "Good morning, Balogar. Glad to see you are still healthy."
Balogar ignored Omega's routine greeting and simply asked in a calm tone: "Is the line secure?"
"The line is secure."
"Inform Elder Duke More and Speaker Andar that the Sacred Dragon Kingdom's envoy has already departed—to make contact with the Cecil Clan in the south."
"Understood," the trembling ring representing Omega responded, its voice indifferent and calm, "The message has been transmitted to the recipient."
Balogar breathed out softly, remained silent for two seconds, then suddenly asked in a low voice: "Has anything happened in Talronde?"
Omega's ring provided a mechanical response: "Nothing has happened in Talronde; the Dragonkin still remain loyal."
