Duke Torrent wasn't surprised when Mervin said that they had expected her. She was the ruler over these surrounding Zones, and it would be foolish not to expect her to appear in one of them.
But Duke Torrent wasn't very worried about their preparations. After all, she hadn't come here to fight but to negotiate.
"I want to speak with Jerald," Duke Torrent demanded. "I am willing to sign a contract that binds me to his side, but I am not willing to undergo a Mind Read."
Mervin only continued smiling politely. "Please wait a moment."
Mervin took out a Communication Crystal and activated it.
In comparison to the normal Communication Crystals, this one directly connected to someone's Spirit Sense, making it impossible for anyone in the vicinity to overhear the conversation.
Mervin contacted Jerald and reported everything to him.
A couple of seconds later, Mervin put the Communication Crystal away again.
