"But I know why they did it," Wyntor added.
Nick raised an eyebrow.
Wyntor didn't know who tried to kill Nick, but he knew why?
"The Crimson Sea," Wyntor said.
"The Crimson Sea is a Specter, obviously, and Specters produce Zephyx when they grow more powerful, and when an Extractor is close to a Specter at that moment, they also grow more powerful, right?" Wyntor said.
"Whenever anyone falls into the Crimson Sea, it produces a ton of Zephyx. However, since it's not in a Containment Unit, we can't harvest the Zephyx."
"But Extractors can still grow more powerful by absorbing it."
"This piece of information is highly confidential, but it's not that difficult to figure out, actually. Veterans are already pretty good at sensing Zephyx, and they are bound to feel the burst of Zephyx whenever anyone falls into the Crimson Sea."
