Osric was staring at the paper.
"This journal says that there is some gathering gemstone? Where would this gemstone be?"
My finger scratched the side of my head.
"Well, it said it came out of the pedestals, so probably underneath?"
The four of us walked towards the pedestals.
Both of my hands wrapped around an arbitrary pedestal and pulled.
The pedestal was affixed to the ground, but it was still not too difficult to lift it up.
Cracks appeared on the pedestal as it was lifted up. After throwing it to the side, my eyes inspected what was underneath the pedestal.
There was a translucent stone. It appeared similar to a pipe, probably carrying mana.
My finger poked at the translucent stone, which felt glossy. As for any mana currents, there were none that my mind caught onto.
Was it not active?
My hand scratched the back of my hand.
"I don't feel any mana coming from this tube thing."
