As if to show his sincerity, the man in front of Ethan deactivated the Magic Circle.
The mist-like power that had just risen abruptly dissipated, and the threatening aura of the Magic Circle vanished into thin air.
Ethan, however, did not step forward immediately.
Standing outside the formation, he spoke softly, "My name is Fernard, from City32. How about you introduce yourselves?"

The man in the deep blue robe introduced himself, "I am Herman, the administrator of the divine crystal mining district."
Herman was an older male magus, his face etched with wisdom and the signs of time.
His hair and beard had turned to a distinguished silver, and his eyes were deep and piercing, as if they could see through everything.
