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

"When did I say we were going to the Elf Labyrinth? Our first destination is, of course, the Dwarf Kingdom."

Granstas gave Ramiris a disgruntled look; he had never agreed to go to the Elf Labyrinth.

"But...but you're an elf too, you definitely need to go to the elf labyrinth...and..."

Ramiris stammered.

"Um?"

Gransta noticed that Ramiris's expression was a little strange, but didn't pay much attention to it.

"Ramillies, don't forget your promise to Gazel. I promised him I would take you there."

Gransta hadn't really wanted to take Ramiris with him in the first place; he planned to send her to the dwarf kingdom and then leave.

Is that so?

Ramiris tilted her head and thought about it carefully, a hint of confusion on her face.

Gulansta shook his head. He suddenly understood why Gazel had asked him to do this.

He ignored Ramiris's inner turmoil and walked forward.

Long Xueqing and the Ice Guards followed silently, while Torene and Kuroya pulled her along and quickly caught up.

Gransta led his group along the paved, level ground, the road leading to the dwarf kingdom.

He also carefully observed the ground and fell into deep thought.

"Lord Gransta, are we going to walk all the way there?"

Torene looked at Gransta, who was deep in thought, and asked in confusion.

It's important to know that the Demon City is very far from the Dwarf Kingdom, so walking there like that is probably not very realistic.

Of course, Gransta wouldn't just walk over there; he had already arranged everything with Julai before setting off.

"Let's wait and see, maybe they're still on their way."

Stare—stare

They didn't have to wait long. Two luxurious carriages arrived from the direction of the Demon Capital, with Benimaru sitting in the front.

Wow, what a nice car!

Both Ramiris and Chloe, who had never left the house before, were intrigued by this novel idea.

Benimaru flicked her red hair from her forehead and saw Lord Gransta and his party quickly jump down.

"Lord Gransta, I have come with the means of transportation as you instructed."

Benimaru first stood respectfully in front of him to report, then her face turned into a wry smile.

"Others probably don't know, right?" he asked tentatively.

"Um...it seems only we subordinates know this, otherwise you probably wouldn't be able to leave."

Benimaru gave a wry smile. He was also startled when he heard his sister say that Lord Gransta would also be leaving for a while.

He really didn't understand why Lord Gransta would go traveling. Wasn't staying in the Demon Saint better?

"Lord Gransta, to be honest, I still don't quite agree with your leaving..."

Gulansta understood what Red Tile meant, of course, but he had already made up his mind.

Knowing she couldn't stop her master's decision, Benimaru sighed and then resolutely looked up.

"Lord Gransta, we are all waiting for your return..."

Gransta led Long Xueqing and the Ice Guard into a luxurious carriage, while Torene and the other two got into another one.

He whispered a few words into Benimaru's ear and then beckoned to her.

Benimaru's eyes narrowed, his whole body stiffened for a moment, and he looked in the direction of Lord Gransta.

"Lord Granstas wants me to keep a close eye on that human nation?"

He muttered to himself, deciding to send Souei to investigate the country he had mentioned, out of trust in Lord Gransta.

Benimaru watched the carriage until it was out of his sight before turning his gaze away.

...

"What a convenient tool! Especially since this road is so smooth, there wasn't a single bump."

Kuroya kept peering out of the carriage, looking around in all directions.

"Uh-huh."

Seeing how excited Kuroya was, Ramiris put her hands on her hips and hummed a few times.

"The Demon Capital is indeed different from other countries. This road that leads directly to the Dwarf Kingdom alone makes me very satisfied."

Ramiris still wanted to maintain an image of adult authority in front of Chloe, but Treyne covered her mouth and laughed.

In contrast to the cheerful atmosphere on their side, Gransta was much quieter.

If it weren't for the large number of people, he probably wouldn't have used such an ancient mode of transportation as a horse-drawn carriage. Currently, his magical abilities are not sufficient to teleport long distances between the Demon City and the Dwarf Kingdom.

Gransta simply closed his eyes and began communicating with the Overlord.

The Ice Guardian was like a silent servant, rarely speaking unless named by Gransta.

However, after the tree spirits came out, Long Xueqing would secretly watch him from time to time.

boom--

boom--

They had only traveled halfway when they heard the sound of a violent collision ahead.

"Damn it! This is a road the adults ordered us to build! You can't destroy it here!"

"Heh, I never thought the mighty Pig-Headed Clan would become someone else's lackeys. What 'adult'? Never even heard of him!"

The commotion ahead made Gransta, who had his eyes closed, frown. How long had it been before an accident happened?

Long Xueqing and the Ice Guard got off the carriage without hesitation, their faces equally grim.

The group of people who had started the conflict immediately lit up when they saw the two luxurious carriages. They could tell at a glance that only a wealthy merchant guild could afford to ride in such carriages.

Greed suddenly arose in their hearts; after all, they were demons who had done such cruel things before.

However, some of the pig-headed men who were opposed to that group looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw the carriage appear.

"A slime mark on this carriage?"

"Holy crap, is this a high-ranking official from the Demon Capital?"

The pig-headed man at the head immediately blocked the malicious gazes of the group opposite him.

They arrived at the carriage just as Long Xueqing and the others got off.

They were immediately startled when they saw what the two looked like.

"Lord Long... Lord Long Xueqing?"

"A pig-headed man exclaimed in surprise, trembling."

They might not recognize the knight beside Long Xueqing, but they were very familiar with Lady Long Xueqing, who had been sweeping through the forest recently.

"I heard that this person is incredibly terrifying when she fights, she transforms into a Valkyrie."

"Really?"

The other pig-headed men began to whisper among themselves.

"What happened here?"

As soon as Long Xueqing got off the carriage, she began to ask questions, while glancing unfriendly at the people behind them.

A group of monsters resembling bulls and horses were staring at them with bloodshot eyes, and their gazes particularly annoyed her.

"Judging from their appearance, they seem to be a minotaur and centaur tribe living in the forest?"

"Yes, sir."

The leader of the pig-headed men immediately told Long Xueqing what had happened.
