This villa in Ranger City was purchased by Malcolm six months ago as an important venue for the summoning ritual. The reason he chose this place was because Ranger City is close to the Floating City in the sky. If the summoning array were to encounter any unpredictable accidents that even the city guards could not solve, there would be nothing to worry about, as the mages would come quickly to deal with the issue. However, it was not an option to choose Muya City, as Muya City is too close to the Floating City. The ritual might be interrupted by the mages before it even started.
The preparations for the summoning ritual were all complete, and Malcolm had even dismissed the annoying bodyguards in advance so that no one would disturb him. After checking every detail once again, Malcolm tightened the collar in his hand, ready to officially begin the ritual.
