Garion folded his arms, his expression turning a little more serious.
"Mersha, before you start working on supplements… I want you to make something else first."
Mersha blinked. "Something else? Not supplements?"
Garion nodded. "Correct. This comes first."
She tilted her head slightly, confused. "But… why? I thought supplements were the priority."
Garion smiled a bit. "Normally, yes. But we're on Demon Gate Island, remember?"
Mersha nodded slowly. "Yes, Master… this island is dangerous."
Garion crouched down slightly to meet her eye level.
"Yes, indeed, and also... Mersha, do you know what's going to happen in one week?"
She froze, not knowing it. "…Something… bad?"
Garion sighed softly. "I forgot that you're young. They probably didn't tell you."
He placed a hand on her shoulder.
"In one week, the demonic beasts on this island will start waking up. I'm talking about second realm… and even third realm beasts."
Mersha's eyes widened in shock.
