Although Everton didn't say why, Robson had a pretty good idea.
At the edge of the swamp, some of the mud was already starting to harden.
This was the effect of the Magic Array that Robson had Falan cast before he left for Wild Mountain.
The entire swamp had begun to solidify. It was obvious the dragon had sensed this and understood Robson's intentions.
Although Everton didn't understand Magic, he knew the changes in the swamp were definitely Robson's doing.
When Robson first mentioned hiring a Legendary Mage, Everton hadn't been afraid, just as Robson hadn't been afraid of Everton calling upon a legendary-tier magical beast.
They both knew those were just empty threats, the kind of thing that would only fool a naive little girl like Huang Na.
But when Everton felt the swamp changing, he immediately panicked. This was real, happening right in front of him. At the current rate of solidification, the swamp would no longer be a place he could live in ten years at most.
