John quickly made his way to Duke Arsena's palace and, led by a servant, entered the Duke's study.
Inside, he saw the Mystery Protector standing by the window.
John chose not to initiate conversation, anticipating that Duke Arsena would introduce the stranger.
Upon seeing John, Duke Arsena stood up with a smile: "I know calling you here suddenly must have disrupted your plans, and for that, I must apologize. The reason I summoned you is to introduce you to one of the Northern Myst Empire's Legend Magus, also known as the great Mystery Protector."
As Duke Arsena spoke, the Mystery Protector slowly turned around.
Upon seeing John, he instantly sensed that John was unlike any other adventurer.
He could see many marks of different deities on John, and among these divine marks, he even discerned the power of the Dark Realm.
