Mystical Journey

Evening hours.

Inside the Black Crow Tower.

After Garen and his underling dragons left the area, a small human figure came rushing in noisily through the Black Crow Tower’s main entrance.

“Hahaha! I, the young miss, have returned! Garen! Get your ass out here! You’re so dead this time!!” The small Dragon Master placed her arms on her hips as she laughed maniacally. Behind her was a sincere and honest looking tall man in black armor holding a two-meter-long hammer in his hand.

“Where’s Garen?! Where’s Garen!! I’ve received intel that he came to this place!!” Asilia shouted.

The waiters serving on that floor of the Black Crow Tower stared at her calmly as the Wizard leader of a class came up and greeted her respectfully.

“Your honorable Miss Dragon Master, Master Garen left just a while ago.”

“Left?! What about Sir Black Crow?” Asilia’s eyes widened.

“He left as well. He headed out to look for some materials.” The female Wizard responded softly.

“That freaking immortal!” Asilia muttered softly. “He left? Fine. Considered myself unlucky! Did that brat Garen mention where he’s going when he left?”

“Uhm… no.” The female Wizard was shocked. How big of a hatred did one require to chase after a person in a residential area?

The female Wizard then stared curiously at the man behind Asilia. She unintentionally spotted the green black tattoo on the man’s body, chills went down her spine as she was stunned.

“Law Enforcer!?”

She was shocked as this Dragon Master had even called out a Law Enforcer, who was a main elite from the Silver Tower! They were the legendary elites who stood at the pinnacle of the Level Nine and they could face against a Level Ten for a long period of time with the top of the line equipment they had on them. Furthermore, the Law Enforcer was able to summon the shapeless and transparent Law Enforcers for assistance. These Law Enforcers were all Level Eight and all of them were the standard terrifyingly powerful killing machines.

“Whatever, he should consider himself very lucky!” Asilia was extremely unhappy since she was not able to obtain any intel on Garen. She then turned around and stomped her way out through the main entrance.

The stupid looking big guy followed her out as well.

Those who had visited the Black Crow Tower were high-level characters that were feared by many. Those people who were Level Seven and above had trained themselves for decades, so it would only be natural for them to have the basic experience and knowledge required. As a Wizard City, it was virtually impossible to encounter a powerful single unit Warrior. However, extremely smart Wizards could be seen all over the streets.

Although some Wizards acted on impulse, there was a common trait that all Wizards would have. It was that they were all not idiots.

The Law Enforcer was one of the violent individuals that should not be messed with the most in Snow City. This was something that could be clearly observed by the people who had visited the Snow City.

Hence there was not a single verbal conflict as Asilia walked out of the area with her man like a God of Plague.

After she had left for ten minutes or so.

Phew…

A sigh of relief could be heard at the very top of the Black Crow Tower.

***********

Spiral Hotel.

“The special envoys from the White Dragon Mountain had been waiting for you for many hours.” The Dragon Lizard from the hotel told Garen softly.

A Level One Sound Transmission Spell was enchanted on a button as the noise was sent directly into Garen’s ears.

He was bringing Annie and Ken along and the moment they reached the hotel, he heard of such news relating to the special envoys.

“Special envoys from the White Dragon Mountain?” Garen instantly knew the objective of the opposing party.

“How many dragons are there?”

“A total of two and they’re all in their human forms.” The Dragon Lizard hostess replied softly.

“In their human forms huh?” Garen was slightly startled as he knew that the big shots had arrived. Those who were able to freely use the Ultimate Transformation Spell were at least a Level Nine Arcane Technique Masters. Furthermore, all of the key members of the White Dragon Mountain were of this level. This meant that they valued Garen a lot in order for them to send two members to see him.

“Be careful Master Garen. The White Dragon Mountain has been unfriendly towards us from the very beginning,” Ken reminded him softly from the side.

“I know,” Garen gently nodded as he signaled Annie with his gaze.

The three of them walked towards the Teleportation Points in their own respective caves. Number plates were erected on dozens of the Teleportation Points and Garen stepped into it as he found his number.

Colorful lights flashed across his eyes for a few moments and everything instantly brightened up instantly after.

He then found himself appearing in the center of a wide beehive-like cave.

The cave was white as it was completely covered with snow. Blue and White Dragons could be seen flying in and out of it and a few human-looking dragons could be seen standing beside the wine cooler at one corner. They were unexpectedly dressed in simple, summer wear.

Garen knew that as long as they were powerhouses without any special physical characteristic, they would require to enhance their temperature energy field in order to sustain in this central cave, which was an environment that was negative ten degrees Celsius cold. These humans who were chatting freely in front of him had no apparent spells activated. It was obvious that they were not human since they were able to stay in this environment naturally.

“The White Dragon Mountain’s Emblem.” Annie’s eyes sharpened as she was able to immediately spot the White Dragon shaped emblem pinned onto the two male and female’s chest. It was a simple outline of the White Dragon’s body and it looked clean and vivid.

Garen took the first move and walked towards them.

The two special envoys from the White Dragon Mountain spotted Garen coming towards them and the people around them started to leave respectfully. These people were friendly allies of the White Dragon Mountain and all of them were powerhouses who could use the Ultimate Transformation Spell. The weakest one was a Level Nine and there was also a Level Ten female lady walking towards Garen with a friendly smile.

Garen smiled back politely in response as well.

Level Nine and Level Ten was a very crucial gap as it would be extremely difficult to go across this wall. There were at least dozens of Level Nine beings that were unable to advance further. However, those who were able to reach Level Ten were basically able to become a member of the Snow City.

Since this woman was not a member, it was obvious that she was a powerhouse from other places. Afterall, it would be normal to assume that the Level Ten members would have their own social circles.

However, the most important crux was not this but a Level Ten would definitely have a powerful force backing them.

After sending this powerhouse off with his gaze, Garen then turned his head around and greeted the two special envoys from the White Dragon Mountain politely.

“I heard that you, two special envoys, have come to seek for me the moment I return. If I recall correctly, our clan and the White Dragon Mountain doesn’t see eye to eye, right…?”

His words were very respectful and straightforward.

The male envoy from White Dragon Mountain frowned for a moment before loosening up.

“That is indeed true. However,” he glanced at the two White Dragons behind Garen.

“The demarcation line for a clan should not be this obvious for a true White Dragon genius. Regardless, we White Dragons are a clan, am I wrong?” He gave a smile to show his friendly gesture.

“Okay, there’s no doubt about it. So what brings the both of you to seek for me?” Garen asked without beating around the bush.

“Obviously, we want you to return to our main clan, the White Dragon Clan.” The female envoy smiled gently as she said happily.

“Return?” Garen was not surprised since his reputation obviously had spread from the Underground City and the Dragon Master’s incident here in Snow City. His reputation would eventually spread towards the White Dragon Mountain. Only an idiot would not recruit a genius White Dragon that appeared out of the blue.

“The main clan has the best Legendary Crystals. Furthermore, we also have a large amount of inheritance, Semi-Divine Weapon, and Divine Weapons left behind by the Ancient Dragons. You may even obtain a personal guidance from Tiamat’s embodiment. As long as you have enough talent, accumulating everything should not be a problem for you.”

“The most crucial thing is that you’ll be under the protection of the White Dragon Mountain as long as you hand over the Pearl of the Temple.” The male special envoy smiled gently as they finally state their visit’s main purpose.

“Do you know? The Dragon Master has already mobilized a Law Enforcer to capture you.” As long as you hand over the Pearl of the Temple, we can protect you under the name of the White Dragon Mountain since even the Silver Tower is not able to ignore the White Dragon Mountain’s social standing.” The female special envoy said rather arrogantly.

Garen and Annie thought that they had heard wrongly as their expressions suggested that they did not hear what they had said clearly.

Did the White Dragon Mountain come all the way here to crack a joke? That was the first thing Garen thought. Did they decide to get their hands on the Pearl of the Temple?

Rumors had it that the White Dragon Mountain had become more and more arrogant and domineering as of late. Garen thought that it was just a rumor but he felt that the rumor was real when he came in contact with them…

“The Pearl of the Temple is an extremely valuable treasure. Even the Demigod would be tempted if they know that a person of a caliber such as you are wielding it. You won’t have enough strength to protect it. It’s better for you to trade it in for the White Dragon Mountain’s friendship instead of leaving it as a seed of misfortunes. You can also be recruited into us along the way to obtain an even greater protection.” The female envoy said in a proud tone.

“Protection?” Garen was on the verge of laughter instead of being angry. “Do you think I, Garen, requires protection from anyone?”

“The Law Enforcer who stands at the pinnacle of Level Nine is able to fight toe to toe against a Level Ten with their equipment. Are you sure you can escape from them?” The male envoy seemed to be threatening him as he spoke.

“Protect me? You guys?” Garen smirked. What kind of joke was that? The Soaring Wing King was situated in the Snow City. Although he was not able to negate the Space-Time Spell that was Level Eight and above, he would definitely act. A Level Twelve Arcanist and the Black Crow Tower that monitored the entire city at every moment was nothing to be messed with.

“The White Dragon Mountain is a second to none sacred heaven to the White Dragons. Countless of White Dragon geniuses had attempted to join us. It seems like you have yet understood the situation.” The male envoy’s tone turned cold. “We’re not here to beg you to join us, we’re letting you in because of the Pearl of the Temple. It’s impossible for you to reach Level Ten without the top secret knowledge!”

“Whether I will be able to breakthrough is not for you to decide. I don’t believe that no White Dragon that did not join the White Dragon Mountain is not able to break through.” Garen said is a disdain tone.

“You’re right. None of them has broken through yet.” The female envoy started scoffing.

“Then I shall be the first one.” Garen was frightened but he still gave her a cold stare. “Let’s go.”

Annie and Ken followed along as they stared with hostile intent at the two envoys.

“How reckless!” Garen could hear the envoys behind him scolding loudly.

He had guessed that the opponent would most likely not spread the news regarding the Pearl of the Temple since this would mean that the amount of ill-intent people would increase if many people knew about it.

He was extremely unhappy with the White Dragon Mountain’s arrogant attitude in this conflict. They dared to treat their same kind with such an attitude since they were the only White Dragon Sacred Heaven who had a White Ancient Dragon among them. No wonder the clan did not see eye to eye with the White Dragon Mountain.

“Did the Dragon Master really summoned a Law Enforcer? If this is true, you might be in some serious trouble, Master Garen.” Annie spoke softly behind Garen.

“The Law Enforcer…” Garen’s gaze turned cold. That Dragon Master was truly a troublemaker since she was able to find a borderline Level Ten powerhouse for assistance. It had now become necessary for him to depart from Snow City as soon as possible.

He needed to return and absorb the Potential Points from the Semi-Divine Weapon as soon as possible.

Boom!

A loud bang reverberated the entire hotel at this moment as the explosion seemed to originate from the main entrance.

“Hahahaha!! Let’s see where you’ll run to this time! Garen, get your ass out of here!!” Asilia’s voice reverberated the entire hotel and the sound waves had even transmitted to the underground.
