In Richard's narrative, the Mother Goddess Temple rescue mission was a failure, tainted by the Puppet Wizard's hidden agenda.
Although Richard speculated that the Puppet Wizard was probably also deceived, he couldn't fake using the rescue as a cover for his own true purpose.
In his account, Richard tried not to mix in personal emotions or unfounded speculations, simply recounting what he had seen.
Having finished speaking, the White Wizard in command placed the Crystal Ball into a bag and handed it to another White Wizard by his side, saying in a very serious tone,
"Send this message to command quickly; it must be fast!"
After that, he commanded another White Wizard beside him,
"Transmit the message just now to command using the emergency communication channel!"
