After reading Grant's letter quickly, Amber frowned as she read about the North Sea, that fellow's experience, and his strange suspicions.
Grant had obviously 'taken it easy' with his theories about beings plotting in the North Sea of the Spiritual World.
In the time he had lived in Dry City, he relearned how to socialize again. Also, he realized how his words could sound like those of a madman if said or written with the emotion he had when talking about the subject.
So he had learned more 'restrained' ways to avoid worrying reactions to his fantastic theories.
His letter had been written that way, but still, the topic covered was not simple, and Princess Quinn could not help but narrow her eyes and look strangely at those sheets of paper.
She was a low-level Spiritual Demigod who was practically at the top of this world, considering that this was the last stage for even most of the most talented individuals in the world. So she had some knowledge regarding the North Sea that ordinary people did not have.
'The North Sea is strange, but considering that beings are plotting against the entire Spiritual World and that they control all those phenomena in the area is quite absurd...' She thought quietly, extremely serious about the possibilities raised by Grant.
This beautiful black-haired woman then said. "Well, he's clearly a bit out of it after going through his traumatic experience in the North Sea, so let's not judge the exaggerations he wrote here."
"Yes, it's tough to believe..." That man kneeling in front of her agreed sincerely.
She then said. "But as a lost family member, we should pay some attention to what he has to say." She thought for a moment as she watched her nails. "Jerry, take care of the necessary procedures to bring Grant back to the empire."
"OK, Your Highness!"
"On the other hand, I will speak to my father about this. As much as we will need Grant to testify to one of our experts to confirm that everything he has written is not inventions in his head, I think his accounts may, in fact, contain some truth."
"That might be relevant to our family!"
"Oh? Your Highness intends to go to see His Majesty?" He asked as he looked into Amber's eyes, finding such behavior impressive due to the princess' history with the emperor.
She had become much more mature after the incident involving her first trip to Elves Island. But even as she interacted with the emperor, her relationship with him was far from friendly.
The two could even be considered rivals in some situations, especially considering her great influence on the Crown Prince, her younger brother.
Since she had not seen Emperor Quinn in person in over 60 years, Jerry was quite surprised.
"Yes. I'll do that." Her eyes sparkled, considering that this was a chance for her to take care of long-buried business, despite how important it might actually be to House Quinn.
She then stood up and looked at a servant woman dressed in black and white near the front door of that area. "Fern, let my husband know I am leaving for the empire's capital. I will be gone for a few weeks."
That woman, level 87, who was an employee of that woman's husband, a native of the Divine Continent, then said. "Miss, are you sure about this? Your husband doesn't like it when you go out like that."
"Tell him that I am doing this because of a family matter. I am sure he can understand..." She said as she made her way to the upper floor, where her room was.
She had no deep feelings for the man her father had chosen to be her husband. So she did not think the opportunity to leave this house and stay away for a few days was terrible!
'Northern region, eh? More and more news from that place has been coming to my empire... Will that place become influential in the entire continent?' She wondered as she thought of the Black Plain Empire of Minos.
...
While people were dealing with Grant's life in the Western Empire, Minos was dealing with local affairs in his city.
After more than three months after the attack that began the turn of the situation against the terrorists, Minos and his forces intensified their attacks and imposed many defeats on Abe.
In that period, the Eastern Empire's Spiritual Sage, who had been around to prevent Abe's death, had returned to action. And even when Minos had not used his mass destruction weapon or the black hole, he had acted.
Minos had received more reinforcements from the Grey Clouds Sect in this period, 10 Spiritual Saints and another 2,000 Spiritual Emperors, individuals from the beginning, middle, and end of their respective stages.
Because of this, even if he was not using his primary weapons, Minos had already reached the level of being able to put enough pressure on his opponents to force that expert to act.
But to Abe's happiness, that Spiritual Sage had managed to rescue him every time in that period.
However, to the stress of this former Vogel heir, the Eastern Empire's Spiritual Sage was facing more and more difficulties in rescuing him!
And with that, Minos' forces were with morals up there, fighting harder and harder to oppress Abe's mercenaries as they grew stronger.
...
Imperial throne hall in the central palace of Dry City...
In this place, Minos was on his throne, with his wives side by side with him and little Sarah standing between her father's throne, holding one of her mother's legs.
She was dressed formally for this occasion while trying to make a serious expression on her cute face.
"Sect Master... Cough! Cough! Your Majesty, that's the last group your grandfather can send with experts." A high-level member of the Grey Clouds Sect said this while standing with 14 other Spiritual Saints, 7 low-level, 5 mid-level, and 2 high-level ones.
With the number of experts the Grey Clouds Sect had already sent to this place, counting these individuals, this sect was only at just over 50% of its experts in the Flaming Empire.
Consequently, Oswald could not send any more Spiritual Saints to reinforce the Black Plain for the moment.
Minos understood this and nodded at that person. "I understand... In any case, your group should be enough for us to finish turning the situation of my state's conflict in my favor."
"In a few months, we will be able to end all of this!"
"Hmmm." That individual from the Coleman family nodded just before informing about the over 1.500 thousand Spiritual Emperors who had also come with this group.
More people of that stage would be coming to the Black Plain in the coming months, but those numbers of individuals should be enough now.
And with that, after presenting themselves to the sect master in that place, these people would soon join the local forces to continue their pursuit against the terrorists of Abe's group!
