After the secret guard leaving, Jared approach Verduny.
"Your knights are still stiff and so serious like in the past"
"It seems your personality didn't change after I send you away for along time ago."
*stunned* "What? Do you want to send me again?" *scared*
*chuckles* "Don't worry, you'll stay in the manor this time."
*relieved* "Then you want me to made something?"
*stunned* "..." *stare at Jared*
*confused* "What? Did I said something wrong?"
"No... It's just... You unexpectedly become a bit smart." *bluntly*
*snap* *annoyed and irritated* "I have been smart from the start. I even became an instructor in that hell city you send me. Even if I didn't as great as yourself, I..." *blurting*
*shout* "THAT'S IT!" *point at Jared*
*confused* "What it's?"
*smirk* "You said it. You finally admit it!" *chuckles*
*still confused* "What did I ad...?" *release something then stop talking because too irritated*
*grin* "Let me help you to remember then, you admit that I..."
*meddling* "My Lord, can I ask about my mission already? I think I'll go crazy if I stay any longer in here." *murderous aura*
"It's my win then and don't worry, you're already a crazy person, you just didn't aware of it. By the way your mission are on that desk" *pointing Edward's desk*
Jared's face become red because of angers. He reluctantly turned in the direction Verduny pointed. Then he walk at that direction with a loud step.
*STOMP! STOMP! STOMP!*
Verduny ignore him and continue his work, Lydia get shocked and confused. Lydia looked around and find Jared are mads then look at Verduny, Verduny seem busy with his works then Lydia continue her works. At this time, Verduny's doppelganger already vanish because the sketch are completed. Jared look at the sketch in the desk. Then his expressions change gradually.
*whoosh*
Suddenly Jared in front of Verduny's desk again
BRRAAKK!
Lydia shocked again, but this time she ignored it. Jared slammed the sketch on Verduny desk.
*excited* "Is this my next work? Can you tell me the details?" *glittering eyes*
*quiet* "..."
Verduny get irritated from Jared excitement
*murderous aura* "... You're too close" *menacing*
*glittering eyes* "My Lord, can you describe this device to me?" *getting more closer*
*shove Jared with his hand* "... Your craziness didn't change too. Calm down and I'll tell you"
*obedient* "Alright" *standing beside Verduny*
*sense something* "Come out!" *loud*
Verduny sense someone watching them
*confused* "Huh?"
*appear out of no where and without a sound*
Appear 2 man on black, they are kneeling in front of Verduny desk. Jared startled, meanwhile Lydia too busy with her work and didn't notice it
*salute* "Renfred Opal at your service"
*salute* "Nigel Citrine at your service"
"Good, start your work!"
The 2 man standing, bows and vanish
"Who are they?" *still confused*
"They're members of Albern teams"
"Oh..." *blank*
*glance* "More importantly, where's the other member of the research teams?"
"I know, you'll call them too. So, I send them letters when I receive your summons. Some of our member already in the manor and the rest are still on their way here"
"Good job, I need our team to finish the device as soon as possible"
"Then you should tell me the details already!"
*sigh* "That thing are communication device and only can be used by the owner that they recognized."
"And how this thing can recognize their owner?"
"From their blood"
*smile* "I understand"
"Make 10 of this device. I don't intent to massively produce the device, so keep the sketch carefully. Don't let it leak." *pick the sketch and give it to Jared*
"Of course, I'll safe guard this sketch with my own life. Then, how the device work?"
"This device base on wind and telekinesis magic. When you want to call someone, just wield the device on your hand and think of them. If your device glowing, then you already connect with the other person. Of course if the other person didn't have the device, it won't budge. And when you get called, the device will turn it's color according the caller's main attribute magic and glowing brightly"
*impressed* "It's really an amazing device."
"And try to finish the research about the teleportation spell too"
*pondering* "We are stuck on that research because the spell are too difficult. You even stop it yourself because a lot of our resource went to wasted. Even with our news knowledge from our last trips, I'm not sure it'll change anything, are you sure?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. There will be a war coming up, we can take our resource from our enemies later. Prioritize on the device communications for now."
*startled* "You'll be going to a war?" *worried*
*glance* "Don't worry, just finish that tools before the day I'm going to war in the next 3 weeks. It'll be a big help for me"
*still worried* "Yes, my Lord"
"And because I need to make preparation for the war, I won't be able to help you in the research."
"Don't worry, I'll finished it even without..."
BRAK!
Someone open the door, Lydia get shocked again but she continue her work immediately. She's really fast to adapt in her surroundings.
*Edward rush in without warning* "My Lord, I need to make a report! Ah..." *stop*
Edward realize Verduny and Jared still in the middle of their discussion
*smile* "It's been years, Edward. It seem you're still as annoyingly as ever"
*nodding* "That's true" *Verduny budge in*
*force smile* "Thank you for your compliment" *irritated*
*bow* "My Lord, we already finish our job" *Sebastian reporting*
"Good job for you two. Sebastian, your next task are helping Jared to find all the materials he needs and clean the research team's workshop too."
"Yes, my Lord" *salute*

*smile happily* "I understand. I'll be careful, don't worry my Lord" *feel happy*
Meanwhile Edward stunned and get goosebumps right after.
*stroke Lydia forehead* "I'll go then. Edward follow me" *leaving*
