Chapter253-Another Forced Version Update
After settling all the arrangements, John, Blue Sea, and Adam took their leave from Duke Dinan.
Given that John had already set forth his conditions—that he wouldn't be part of the local NPC elites' integration but would arrive when combat was required—Duke Dinan obliged, ordering his palace guards to escort them out.
Before their departure, Duke Dinan gifted them three communication magic crystals.
These small items had no assigned grade but were as valuable as an epic piece of equipment.
By channeling energy into the crystal, one could communicate in real-time with another bound crystal.
These were items many nobles on the Godslayer Continent often used for correspondence.
John graciously accepted, and the trio carefully stowed the communication crystals in their backpacks.
Upon stepping out of the grand palace gates, flanked by golden dragon statues, they spotted Valerie, the lord of Storm City, quietly standing there.
