The Bet

For the next short while, after revealing his Crafter's Display, Aoni took some time explaining the defenses of his territory and all the things he'd built. Through this conversation, the Thurston family was able to get a relatively good grasp on his situation over at Genovia, and overall, they were quite pleased with the results.

However, something was bugging them, and that was how, if the mountain was so dangerous and filled with monsters, he had survived the barrier coming down, and when it came to explaining that Aoni was in a difficult position.

On the one hand, he felt that it was unnecessary to explain the new barrier, while at the same time, his Attribute Notice repeatedly advised against it.

It was one thing to admit to having an adaptive barrier that only allowed monsters weaker than the Territory Lord to enter its confines and another to talk about how it was created altogether.

Especially when Aoni still has no idea how it came to be.
