"Ah, to think that the famous Sylas Grimblade would accept my invitation. I am honored."
Nathan's voice came from the other line and Sylas was taken somewhat off guard. He had used long-ranged communication methods before, namely to speak with his little sister, but he didn't even get the chance to feed it Aether Stones before everything just started working naturally. It was hard to tell if this was because Nathan had pre-loaded it, or…
"No need to be surprised. This is a special device I created with my Profession. It makes it easier on us because it's basically impossible to track, and there's no use for Aether either. If things go well, and you trust me, I don't mind giving such devices to your family as well. That way you can contact them secretly whenever you want without the cost."
Sylas didn't answer immediately, adjusting himself to just what this meant.
"… You corrected the technology issues of Earth?"
