I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 148 1.10 [Golden Dragon - Royal City] The White Knight
The City of Kings.

"Hello, I'd like vanilla ice cream with extra chocolate sauce," Shui Qi said with a light laugh, pointing to the menu.

"Is this enough?" the clerk asked, pouring him an ice cream and adding a spoonful of ice cream sauce.

Shui Qi shook her head, dissatisfied, and said, "No, no, that's too little. Add some more."

The clerk said, "It will cost extra."

"Add more, add more, I'll pay more, give me more chocolate sauce." Shui Qi nodded and urged.

Under the sunlight, his dark, tousled hair shimmered with a hint of blue. He took the vanilla ice cream, which was covered in chocolate sauce, and smiled as he gently licked it with his tongue.

"This is definitely the best way to eat it." Her eyes narrowed slightly, filled with satisfaction.

Just as he was about to meet up with the others, an unexpected figure appeared in his sight, causing him to pause slightly, his expression showing a hint of surprise and disbelief.

“Isn’t he… already dead…” Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a thoughtful glint appeared in her long, narrow blue eyes.

The gentle spring sunshine felt warm on my skin, and the ice cream, drizzled with chocolate sauce, shimmered with a uniquely tempting aroma.

Because she had been thinking for too long, the ice cream had started to melt. Shui Qi hurriedly held the ice cream up to her mouth, "Ahhh, my ice cream!"

not far away.

The red-haired boy, carrying a huge black scythe on his back, gazed curiously at the surrounding scenery. He wore a white, straight-collared, sleeveless long robe, the dark red plum blossom buttons echoing the dark red plum blossom patterns on the black, wide-sleeved outer robe that hung halfway down his arm. His fair shoulders, faintly visible, exuded a captivating and peculiar charm.

"What is that?" Zhu Yan pointed to a nearby ice cream stand, her fair, pointed ears twitching slightly beneath her fiery red, tousled hair.

His handsome face was slightly marred by the mysterious black totem on his left eye, but it added a touch of sinister charm. Even so, his curious expression couldn't hide his youthful aura, making him both cute and handsome.

“According to the Kingdom of Gourmet Food, it should be called Crispy Mountain,” Agatha said slowly, adjusting her glasses.

"Hmm???" Zhu Yan narrowed his blood-red eyes, turned to look at Agatha, and said, "I want to eat."

five minutes later.

The boy ate his ice cream while muttering to himself, "Why is Shel so sudden this time? It hasn't even been six months yet. I haven't even finished writing the reports... I hope he doesn't come looking for me for them..."

It's just a violation of the rules; it's not enough to erase the ban and summon everyone.

This summons must have some other special purpose...

"The ban... Come to think of it, it existed before I became lord." He blinked his blood-red eyes slightly, glanced at Agatha behind him, and said slowly.

"This probably dates back to the time of Your Highness's grandfather. You've only been the lord for three years, so it's normal that you don't know." Agatha looked up at the azure sky, white doves flying by, pushed up her glasses, and said softly, "It was a great disaster back then."

"What did you say?" Zhu Yan asked, puzzled, not understanding Agatha's words. "Nothing, Your Highness, we're almost at the castle. Please finish your food before we go." Even though eating on the street was against etiquette, there really was nowhere for them to stop and rest at the moment.

The armor scraped against each other with a cold, metallic sound. Soldiers, weapons in hand, moved with spirited determination, blocking a path and separating themselves from the civilians.

Zhu Yan stopped and stared at himself as he was separated from the soldiers. His blood-red eyes gradually filled with a cold, violent killing intent.

"Ahem!" Agatha pushed up her glasses and coughed lightly, remaining remarkably calm.

The cough brought Zhu Yan back to his senses. He looked around and then ate the rest of the ice cream in one bite.

"Granny, you're scaring people!" Zhu Yan pursed her thin lips and said with displeasure.

“If Your Highness could control your temper as you please, I wouldn’t have bothered to remind you,” Agatha said indifferently.

At this time.

A group of white winged horses, clad in silver armor, descended from the sky. Leading the winged horses was a handsome man in white riding attire and a cloak, holding a long spear. His long silver hair was tied high behind his head, and his handsome face exuded charisma and high spirits.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." His sea-blue eyes looked down at the three people standing on the ground surrounded by soldiers, and his thin lips curled into a slightly arrogant smile as he spoke loudly in a clear voice.

A slightly frivolous smile played on Fisch's lips; he seemed unconcerned about what might happen to him. He glanced sideways at Mu Yegui and whispered, "If you use any tools, you can escape easily."

"I don't think I have any reason to run away." Even though he could instantly become intangible and escape by simply putting on the black mask, Mu Yegui would never do that.

Putting aside the fact that she didn't want to escape, she would never use the items unless absolutely necessary, in order to avoid becoming dependent on them. Once she became overly dependent on the items, everything would be over if she encountered a dungeon where they were prohibited from being used.

Standing to the side, Zhu Yan, who was looking up at the sky, suddenly asked in confusion, "Who is that?"

Agatha adjusted her glasses and calmly said, "The chief knight order under the Duke is led by the first knight who holds the title of White Knight—Gafar."

"Didn't they say the dungeon owner isn't allowed near the royal city?" Zhu Yan asked, frowning in confusion.

"When Gafar came to the King's City, he had not yet become the dungeon master, and he was the only dungeon master in the King's City to be personally granted the title by the Duke." After becoming the dungeon master, Gafar never left the King's City and took on the responsibility of guarding the entire city.

Zhu Yan watched as the Pegasus Knights led the two away, a hint of doubt in his blood-red eyes. "But it's a bit strange. Why does he have to come personally to greet criminals?" He, as the lord, had to walk there himself, even calling it exercise.

“According to rumors, Jafar is face-blind,” Agatha said slowly, her face cold.

Zhu Yan: "..." Are you sure you won't mistake someone for someone else?
Agatha took out a pocket watch from her bosom, examined it carefully, then pushed up her glasses and said coldly, "More importantly, it's time for us to head to the castle."

So the two turned and headed toward Route 1.

Shui Qi, who had been watching the entire fountain show, suddenly turned serious, her expression turning solemn. She lowered her voice slightly and murmured, "It seems something important is about to happen... Should I notify headquarters?"
