"Lord Count, Letter from the Queen."
In the splendid palace, a soft voice of a maid echoed through the air.
"Hand it to me," requested a pleasant feminine voice.
Immediately, a delicate hand took the letter from the maid's hands and handed it to Su Mo, who was elegantly seated on a gold-coated sofa.
The maid humbly lowered her head, avoiding direct eye contact with Su Mo, who radiated a golden glow.
"The Count's fortune is truly remarkable," the maid thought each time she reported the situation. She was always impressed by the Count's wealth.
The Count was known for his opulence and was undoubtedly the wealthiest noble in the Crescent Moon Kingdom.
It was said that not even the queen possessed a fortune comparable to the Count's.
Calling him an extremely rich man was appropriate.
It was no wonder that the maid had heard rumors that Her Majesty, the Queen, had been captivated by the Count's charm.
"You may withdraw now," the beautiful feminine voice resonated once again.
"Yes," the maid replied, momentarily losing her composure. As soon as she regained her senses, she quickly lowered her head and took a step back.
At that moment, Su Mo had already received the letter. The letter was sealed with a magical seal, impossible to be opened by common people.
Even if it were opened, the letter would self-destruct.
Only the one who accepted it, Su Mo, was allowed to open it. Even before breaking the seal, Su Mo already knew its contents.
The Crescent Moon Queen wrote to Su Mo to request some goods, such as soaps, porcelain, toothbrushes, and other products that could only be produced in Su Mo's territory.
However, with a quick glance, Su Mo realized that this was not the main purpose of the Crescent Moon Queen's letter.
In summary, the main objective of the missive was just one thing...
She wanted Su Mo to go to the capital.
"Sir, it is likely that the Crescent Moon Queen is completely enamored with you. Your charisma surpasses even the divine light emitted by the celestial gods," echoed a pleasant feminine voice by his side. Waving his fingers, Su Mo disappeared into the letter without a trace.
"Xi Wei, take care of her preparations," Su Mo casually said.
"Yes, Master," Xi Wei promptly replied, who was by his side.
After Xi Wei left, Su Mo rose from the sofa, left the room, and went to the balcony to gaze upon his territory.
The palace where he resided stood atop a majestic castle.
Below the castle extended Su Mo's prosperous region.
Cars constantly circulated throughout the territory, creating a lively bustle.
From time to time, one could see not only caravans from the New Moon Kingdom but also caravans from neighboring kingdoms.
Even in the sky, occasionally, flying monsters and airships could be seen arriving.
All of this was the result of acquisitions made in his territory.
"Twenty years," Su Mo whispered to himself.
Two decades had passed since he had entered this vast parallel world, known as the "world of the gods."
As a traveler, Su Mo had lived fully during these 20 years, enjoying a truly marvelous existence.
Now, he had become a count in the Darkmoon Realm, enveloped in a divine aura.
Counts, among the nobility, were not necessarily the highest in status, as there were also marquises and dukes.
However, Su Mo, a lesser count, was wealthier than countless marquises and dukes. Some of the products he had invented had brought him great fortune.
However, becoming a wealthy count was not Su Mo's greatest achievement over the past two decades.
After a while in the castle, he entered the palace once again.
With a wave of his hand, he closed the gates, while various magical patterns lit up on the walls, completely blocking access to the palace.
Now, any explosion that occurred within the palace would not be audible from the outside.
After ensuring the palace was sealed off, Su Mo slid his finger through the air, drawing a hexagram.
In the center of the hexagram, a black hole quickly formed.
With determination, Su Mo entered it.
As soon as he disappeared, the black hole also instantly dissipated.
At that moment, Su Mo emerged in a completely different location.
It was an ancient and vast land, devoid of the presence of the sun, with only a waning crimson moon in the sky.
The reddish light from the moon shone, revealing countless demons flying across the ground.
They were in the Abyss.
Upon appearing, Su Mo let out a sigh.
Instantly, the demons were bewildered.
"The devil has arrived!"
One by one, the demons stopped and quickly prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling.
Su Mo's aura was too terrifying.
Many demons trembled involuntarily. After giving them a brief glance, Su Mo calmly unfurled a pair of wings behind him and, with a single flap, disappeared from there.
The demons breathed a sigh of relief but dared not rise until Su Mo had departed.
