At the same time John and others were asking Shatras for the Ocean Gem, a new visitor was arriving at the Naga Queen's palace.
This new visitor was, of course, the Mystery Protector.
The relationship between the Mystery Protector and the Naga Queen was quite familiar.
They had collaborated before, so the Naga Queen was very pleased with the arrival of the Mystery Protector.
"I originally thought that your Northern Myst Empire had no means left to stop the attacks of the Dark Faction. But your arrival signifies that you must have found a way to counter the attacks from the hostile camp," the Naga Queen said.
Although the Naga Queen had previously told John that she did not believe in the Order Faction anymore, she felt, with the arrival of the Mystery Protector, that the Order Faction might still provide some assistance.
At this point, the Mystery Protector just smiled slightly without agreeing with the Naga Queen's statement.
