Well people are seeing a panel that says "contracted monsters," and upon seeing new species they would likely capture them and experiment
"If the areas where many monsters appear all get blocked off, how will people contract them?" Lydian asked. "Won't the people in power monopolize all the rare monsters then?"
"We were gone for almost two days. There should have been a lot of changes," Aura muttered as they scrolled through the articles. "Look, people have begun to understand how to contract monsters. Spirit jade is also incredibly in demand. There are now many areas blocked off by the government, citing safety concerns. If we came a bit later, Amethyst Caverns might also have been a made restricted area."
