The next morning, Fang Mo was awakened by knocking at the door once again.
Since he had slept fairly well the night before, he was not grumpy upon waking this time. He walked over and opened the door directly.
But the person outside was not his little sidekick.
It was Sharan instead.
After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Sharan got straight to the point.
Her meaning was quite simple. She had come mainly as a representative of the Queen of the Principality of Belmar, hoping to probe Fang Mo's true intentions. After all, his power was simply too outrageous. He had only arrived at West Coast for one day, yet his little sidekick... Summon Jade Emperor, had somehow formed summoning contracts with the monsters of Sky City.
Sharan was highly accomplished in magic.
So after the two returned from Sky City to West Coast, she immediately sensed that something was wrong.
The contracts formed by summoners were essentially connections between souls, and the aura of summoned creatures could occasionally travel along those connections to their summoners.
Sharan had guarded West Coast year-round and was extremely sensitive to the aura of Sky City. She noticed Summon Jade Emperor's aura almost instantly. As the dominant party in those contracts, she now felt like a moving Sky City, giving off an utterly terrifying impression.
Of course, she could not sit still after that.
So that very night, she urgently contacted Queen Skardi.
Queen Skardi, meanwhile, seemed to be occupied with another strange incident. Apparently, a terrifying sinkhole had appeared deep within the Great Forest for no apparent reason, and she was currently sending people to investigate it.
And considering all the strange phenomena recently occurring across the Arad Continent...
Queen Skardi's intention was obvious: avoid making an enemy of such a powerful person
