In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

The adults will be away for a while, and someone will need to handle the affairs of the Demon City. As Lord Gransta's secretary, she will have to take on an important role at this time.

so....

Zhu Lai still looked at Long Xueqing, who had already gone to prepare, with envy in her eyes, and Gulansta also noticed this.

He patted Zhu Lai's cute head and said in a gentle tone:

"While I'm away, I'll be leaving the situation in Zhu Lai's care..."

As Julai enjoyed Lord Gransta's caresses, he nodded obediently.

"Hmm... I won't let you down, sir..."

Before deciding to leave, Gransta went to Old Bai's place to check on the Ice Guards' training progress.

Upon arriving at the swordsmanship training ground, a group of goblins were seen wielding wooden swords with impressive skill, displaying expressions of strain.

"call--"

Gobuta was the most hardworking among them; the large bump on his head showed that he had suffered a lot.

Unlike the goblins, a knight in full armor sat cross-legged beside them.

A chill rose around the knight, and the goblins huddled very close, treating the Ice Guardians as a cooling device.

Ice Guard opened his eyes at that moment, sensing a familiar aura, while Elder Bai had already appeared in front of Gransta.

"Hehe, Lord Gransta, are you here to play chess with me?"

Old Bai suddenly appeared in front of Gransta, and said with a kind smile.

Gransta first glanced at the Ice Guard sitting cross-legged on the ground, then looked at Elder Bai with a headache.

"Old Bai, your chess skills are truly terrifying. I am no match for you at all now."

"Lord Gransta, you're being too modest..."

Old Bai narrowed his eyes, and a chess piece was already in his hand.

He was just studying chess when he sensed Lord Gransta's presence, so he decided to drag Gransta along and insist on playing a game with him.

Gulansta was utterly exasperated. Although he was the one who popularized chess in this world, Old Bai was the only one who had reached a godlike level in playing it.

If he hadn't used the power of the Overlord, he would have been completely crushed.

"Mr. Bai... I have other matters to attend to."

"Hehe, I think Lord Gransta is quite free... If you have something to do, why don't you play a game of chess with me first?"

Gransta: ......

Old Bai then dragged Gransta to the chessboard that had been set up beforehand.

The Ice Guard silently approached Gransta from behind, not stopping Elder Bai's actions.

He knew the preferences of Master Bai, the swordsmanship teacher. Almost all the students here had played chess with Master Bai, and he was no exception.

However, it seems that Master Bai thought their chess skills were too poor, so he never approached them again...

Upon seeing the Ice Guardians, Gransta's eyes immediately lit up.

"Elder Bai, please wait a moment. I'm actually here to see the Ice Guard."

"Haha, no rush, no rush."

Old Bai stood to the side with a smile, not worried that Gransta would run away; he could wait that long.

Gulansta immediately breathed a sigh of relief; playing chess with Old Man Bai was no less than a mental battle. He was still slightly inferior to this old man who specialized in chess.

He then looked at the Ice Guard behind him and found that the Ice Guard's magical aura had stabilized at A+ level, which meant that it had perfectly integrated with this new body.

"Lord Gransta, is there anything you need from me?"

Seeing that Lord Gransta had come specifically to see him, the Ice Guardian asked curiously first:

Gransta looked at the changes in the Ice Guard with a satisfied expression and spoke slowly.

"Ice Guardian, it seems you've gained perfect control over this body by now."

"You're working really hard too..."

The Ice Guard scratched his helmet, seemingly feeling somewhat uneasy in the face of Lord Gransta's approving tone.

"Yes, sir, this is all thanks to the meditation method that Master Bai taught me... otherwise I wouldn't have improved so quickly."

"You've put in a lot of effort to come see Elder Bai, and agreeing to let you learn swordsmanship was the right decision."

Elder Bai, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement. He also valued the new student, Ice Guard, very much.

"Alright, I'll take this opportunity to give you this weapon."

Gransta took out the weapon that he and Kurobe had forged together from the material library.

A heavy, ink-black greatsword appeared in the air, nearly two meters long, perfectly matching the Ice Guardian's physique.

"This is...."

The moment this weapon appeared, Elder Bai's eyes narrowed slightly; he sensed something emanating from it...

"This weapon seems to have some special properties..."

Old Bai's sharp eyes noticed something; his skill [Heavenly Eye] keenly perceived that the inherent characteristics seemed to...

Gransta saw that Elder Bai had used his skill to scan the weapon, so he must have already realized what made it special.

When the Ice Guard saw the weapon, he couldn't help but grab it.

"Clang—"

The blue patterns lit up, and the originally dark sword blade began to gleam.

Upon seeing this, Gransta knew that this S-weapon was highly compatible with the Ice Guardian.

"The Ice Guardian weapon was specially crafted for you; I think it suits you perfectly..."

Gransta briefly explained the weapon's [Heavy Steel] and [Crushing] properties to the Ice Guard.

When the Ice Guardian grasped the weapon, he felt a strange connection, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"Thank you, Lord Gransta..."

After the Ice Guardian infused the sword with magic essence, he carried it on his back.

The greatsword, carried on the Ice Guardian's back, was like a weapon that added violence to the knight.

"Okay, I'll be away for a while, so you can come with me!"

Seeing the Ice Guard's satisfied expression, Gransta nodded and explained the purpose of his visit.

"Is the master going to be away for a while?"

White Old Man was surprised. Lord Rimuru had just left, and now even Lord Granstas was leaving?

Gransta explained to Old Man Bai:

"I promised King Gazel that I would escort Ramiris to the Dwarf Kingdom."

"So it was a promise made by the Dwarf King?"

A hint of hesitation appeared on Elder Bai's face. If even Lord Gransta wanted to leave, would the others in the Demon Capital know...?

Without any hesitation, the Ice Guard bowed to Lord Gransta.

"I will definitely follow Lord Gransta!!!"
