Three weeks ago, after collecting Mo Yan bounty rewards and hearing the updated report on the pirate hunting campaign, Emery made a strategic decision to send Magus Rosia on an important task to visit a certain faction known for owning the dark orb crystal, a rare and valuable artifact necessary for creating another artificial waypoint gate.
Emery had been aware of the dark orb crystal's existence for several months. During that time, he had shown intention to purchase it. However, the faction that possessed the crystal demanded an exorbitant and unreasonable price, making it impossible for Emery to acquire it under normal circumstances.
