SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

In the last hundred years, my Ice Castle has lost its influence in the power struggle, and because of that, we are getting fewer resources with each passing year. As the snow mountains surrounding the Ice Castle melt away, my sect is losing control day by day.

But the reason for this downfall is not outsiders. The matriarch of Ice Castle is in the last stages of her life. For decades, we have been searching for a lady who can carry out her legacy and protect the Ice Castle. Even though we gathered more than 100 girls with frost element affinity, they failed to inherit the matriarchal legacy.

As you also have affinity for the frost element, I want to recruit you to the Ice Castle and give you a chance to inherit the legacy of the Ice Castle. So, think carefully and decide whether you want to become Queen of this blue planet or rot in this shabby sect."

Freya finished her long explanation with a question mark. Even though she acted all sincere before Thea, she hid some facts related to the legacy of Ice Castle.

It took Thea a long time to understand the situation. Even though Freya\'s offer felt like sweet candy to her, a person appeared in her thoughts before she agreed to Freya\'s request.

"Respected elder, this is really a life-changing opportunity for a nobody like me. But I\'m a promised bride to someone. He will definitely come for me in the future. Promise me that you won\'t to stop me when that happens." Thea asked with a serious face.

Freya felt perplexed after hearing Thea\'s request. After long thought, she decided to hide the truth from Thea and nodded her head in response to her request.

With a smile, Thea kneeled before Freya and bowed in respect.

Freya stood up and unleashed her Glacial Horse [the Ice Pegasus]. Freya mounted her pet and flew into the air along with Thea.

While fluttering its long, snow-white wings, the Glacial Horse flew like a falling comet. Thea felt her head spinning, as she had never experienced such speed in her life.

Under the silent embrace of the night sky, the white swan glided gracefully through the skies, its wings beating rhythmically as it soared above the glowing sky of Golden Bamboo City.

Lucy, seated atop her pet, guided it with practiced ease, the gentle sway of its flight lulling her into a tranquil state of mind.

Kent lay beside her, his head nestled in her lap, peacefully slumbering amidst the soothing hum of the night. Lucy\'s tender fingers caressed the long strands of his hair, her gaze lingering on his serene features as she marveled at the peaceful expression that graced his sleeping face.

Below them, Golden Bamboo City sprawled for miles in every direction, its vastness illuminated by the soft glow of countless lights that adorned its towering buildings and bustling streets.

Grand arenas stood as beacons of entertainment, their massive structures reaching high into skies, while night gambling houses beckoned with promises of excitement and adventure.

Surrounding it all, like a protective embrace, were the golden bamboos that gave the city its name, their tall stalks glowed in the night light.

As the White swan began its descent, Kent woke up to the bustling noise. Lucy hurriedly turned her away from Kent with a shy smile.

As he stared at the vast city below, Kent felt surprised for a moment. Adjusting his clothes, he stood up to take a view from above.

"Why we reached so early?" Kent asked with a confused look.

"Because of your pet. It saved a lot of travel time." Lucy replied with a stoic face, stressing the word \'a lot\'.

She guided the Fire Kirin to descend on the ground. There are hundreds of pets flying all around in the sky and the streets are wide enough to hold four big size pets at a time.

Lucy carefully guided the white swan through the traffic and landed before a towering rock building.

"Star Light Inn..."

The entrance sign contains a big star with surrounding lights. While holding Kent\'s hand, Lucy dragged him inside.

"We will take a rest tonight. The Heavenly Beast gathering will happen tomorrow evening. Until then, I will show you around the capital." Lucy said excitedly with a lovey-dovely smile while acting completely opposite of her previous demeanor.

Silver Leaf City...

With exhausted faces, both Zambu and Fire Lotus sat inside the Idol Plaza, waiting for their food. Since morning, they have inquired about all the places related to Kent.

They started their inquiry at Kent\'s school. They found everything about Kent winning the tournament using Fire-Kirin, and they also heard many weird things about Kent, as he has the reputation of being the being the number one old suitcase.

Finally, they went to Kent\'s old wooden home and Hanging Pearl Palace. But there is no use. Except for the Gray family patriarch, Gus, and Fatty Ben, no other person knows about Kent\'s departure to the capital city.

"Enjoy your food." An old granny served the food before Zambu and Fire Lotus.

Just as he was turning away, Fire Lotus stopped the old lady.

"I need a little information." Fire Lotus asked after placing a gold coin on the table. The old lady stared at Fire Lotus and the gold coin for a moment and silently bagged it.

"Do you see any Fire Kirin in the last few days?" Fire Lotus asked with an anticipated look.

"Yes, yesterday afternoon, a young couple dined at this place. They left this place on fire, Kirin." The old lady replied, remembering the scene where Kent extended his hand to Lucy.

Hope sparked on Lucy\'s face as she hurriedly took out a few gold coins. "Do you know where they headed?" Lucy asked while placing the gold coins in the old lady\'s hand.

"Sorry, lady, I don\'t know that. But…" The old lady gave long pause, with thinkers pose. Lucy handed a few more gold with a serious look.

"But I know the fat person who came with them. He might know where they went." The old granny replied with a delighted smile.

"Who is he?" Zambu slapped the table as he stood up eagerly.

"He… he is Stokes family young master. People call him Fatty Ben." The old lady replied in a stuttering tone and hurriedly left without waiting for another second.
