"Ethereal Crystal?"
White looked confused for a moment, then understanding dawned on his face.
"Oh, you must mean Magic Crystals. The name probably varies from region to region."
'Magic Crystal?'
Wang Xi was lost in thought.
White's expression turned a little strange. After a moment's hesitation, he said in a low voice:
"Lord Gai, actually, the most important cargo we're transporting back to the Royal Capital this time is Magic Crystals... Ahem, forgive me, I can't disclose the source, but this is a critical material that Minister Ando specifically requested we acquire."
"Minister Ando?"
"He's been ordered to oversee the Court Artisans and is responsible for developing new types of weapons."
White craned his neck to glance outside the door, then lowered his voice.
"It's said to be Prince Calvin's idea..."
Wang Xi was a newcomer and wanted to learn more about the situation in the Royal Capital, so he pressed for more details.
