"Are you a crystallizer, too?" Han Sen asked. The man did look like a crystallizer.
"Of course not. How could I be one of the races that were unable to even light up one lantern inside the geno hall?" The man shook his head, as if he had been mocked by the suggestion.
The man looked at them and said, "If the crystallizers are not extinct, why haven't you gone to the Crystal Palace to practice? Why are you here on Kate?"
"Crystal Palace? Why would we need to go there to practice?" Han Sen and Stay Up Late asked in confusion. They weren't too sure what the man was talking about.
The man looked at the both of them as if he was looking at a couple of orphans, and he said, "It looks like the crystallizers have survivors, yes, but you don't know their proper glory. Fret not, for it is not your fault. They wagered that their race could light up a lantern in the geno hall. But they didn't, and they were subsequently destroyed. It is lucky for a meager few to have survived."
