Something in Ludwig's inner pocket vibrated once. Distracting him from what almost turned into a disaster.
Picking it up, it was the communication crystal. The vibration was small, but insistent, like someone tapping a nail against glass.
Ludwig's gaze narrowed. The crystal only rang when someone with access wanted him now, not later, and the timing was annoyingly perfect.
The only people who had his communication number were all the way up in Solania, fighting hordes of enemies. If any of them called him for whatever reason, then that was reason enough to be worried.
"Hmm, is it working?" he heard. This was the voice of Kaiser.
"Kaiser? What's going on?" Ludwig asked as he noticed that the Lich was somewhere familiar.
The crystal's view snapped into clarity in that slightly warped way these devices always did, colors a little off, edges slightly blurred as if reality was being viewed through water.
