Chapter 970:


    Miss Queen called. During the time Robb was in the Eastern World, she hadnt called himnot because she didnt want to, but because she couldnt. The distance was too great; the crystal ball wasntrge enough to contain the necessary magic for such long-rangemunication. When Robb had gone to the New Continent with a 4-hour time difference, the crystal ball had managed to keep in touch. But this time, he went to Big Tang, doubling the time difference and exceeding the crystal balls range. As soon as Robb returned, the call came through.


    Grinning, Robb answered the call. Miss Queens face appeared on the other end, as dignified as ever. Youre back, she said, her tone nonchnt.


    Just got back, Robb replied.


    Ah, then my timing is impable, said the Queen.


    Robb raised an eyebrow. You didnt set a timer to call me every few minutes, did you?


    Of course not, she huffed. Dont tter yourself into thinking I missed you that much.


    Just then, the court magicians chief appeared behind her. Your Majesty, therge crystal balls you requested are ready. These two are enormous and contain a great deal of magic. They should be able to maintainmunication with Godfather from any corner of the world.


    Robb looked through his crystal ball to see the chief magician directing his subordinates to bring in two enormous crystal balls, each the size of a horse.


    You expect me to carry these huge balls around the world? Robb eximed.


    The Queen mmed her hand on the table. Is this really too much for you? Just use a size-altering spell to be a giant, and you can easily pocket these. From now on, keep them with you and dont lose contact so casually.


    Robb shrugged. So says the woman who ims not to miss me.


    Ignoring hisment, the Queen moved on. While you were in the Eastern World, our operations against the monsters in the Jinghong Mountains have been going smoothly. The vanguard has already set up camp below ck Dragon Peak and even sent a suicide squad to attempt to draw a transmission circle.


    Robb chuckled. I told you to build a road, and you go off drawing transmission circles. Let me guess, it failed?


    How did you know it would fail? the Queen asked.


    Robb exined, Its a BOSS area! The ck Dragon has many special rules. When it resides on that mountain peak, the area bes a dungeon. I know you dont understand what a dungeon is, but its a special zone, simr to your anti-space barriers. yers cant teleport directly into the depths of the dungeon; they can only teleport to the entrance and then walk in.


    The Queen said, That makes sense! I was wondering why you didnt just create a transmission portal on ck Dragon Peak. It would make it easier for our troops to ascend the mountain. Now I understand that its impossible to create such a portal there.


    Robb asked, Is everyone who went up to draw the transmission circle okay? Do you need me to resurrect them?


    Theyre fine, the Queen assured him. The creature doesnt initiate attacks. Even when it saw my suicide squad from a distance, it didnt attack. Its quite strange.


    Robb chuckled, Thats called the aggro range. Each BOSS has a specific area where it will initiate attacks. If you stay outside that area, you can provoke it all you want without any repercussions. You could even set up a cannon in front of it, and as long as the cannonballs dont hit it, it wont react.


    The Queen couldnt help but ask, How do you know all these rules rted to the ck Dragon? People on our continent have spent over a thousand years and still dont understand it, yet you seem to know everything.


    Robb grinned, Lets just say Im omniscient.


    The Queen gave him a sidelong nce, Dont bluff. You hate it when people use the name of God to deceive others. If you really know everything, tell me what I didst night.


    Robb responded, You dreamt of mest night. In the dream, we were intimate, and you insisted on being on top. I tried to switch positions, but you forcefully held me down.


    The Queens face turned pale, You know this too? Are you a god?


    No, I was just guessing, but it seems I guessed right, Robb chuckled mischievously. Why rely on dreams? Juste through the portal, and Ill make your dreamse true. Also, I promise not to try to switch positions.


    Drop dead! The Queen hung up abruptly.


    Robbughed heartily, Ah, shes such an interesting woman.


    Just as he finished speaking, arge crystal ball rolled out of the transmission portal. It was the newmunication tool that Miss QUeen had prepared for himhigh-powered and guaranteed to have a signal in any corner of the world.


    Robb chuckled and shook his head, swiftly moving next to the crystal ball. He touched it and cast a Shrinking Spell. Both he and the crystal ball shrank, reducing the ball to the size of a regr one. Releasing his grip and dispelling his own shrinking spell, Robb returned to his normal size, but the crystal ball remained in its miniaturized state. He then picked it up and ced it in his pocket.


    Maintainingmunication is always beneficial. In fact, Robb had found himself missing Miss Queen as well while he was in the Eastern World. Having a high-poweredmunication device was more than wee.


    He began to ponder: It seems that for the sake of globalmunication, Ill need an enormous crystal ball in the future to serve as a central server. Its magical power should be able to cover the entire world.


    Should I also set up some ry stations? ce medium-sized crystal balls at regr intervals? No, I cant overthink this; its getting tooplicated. I shouldnt undertake this myself. I need to find an entrepreneur who enjoys challenges and persuade them to take on the project.


    Just as he was contemting this, Marian Corton, whom he hadnt seen for a while, entered from outside the chapel.
