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

Ramiris didn't care about any of that; she fell asleep the moment she saw the sofa.

whoosh—

Torene gently came to her side and fanned her with her small hands.

Kuroya, bored, sat to the side, propping her head up and looking at Grandmaster Granstas' handsome profile, her small eyes full of stars.

Long Xueqing poured him a glass of water and handed it to him. Gulansta thanked her and took a small sip.

She had promised Julai she would take good care of Lord Gransta, and she had been paying close attention the whole way...

"Ahem... Xueqing?"

Gulansta couldn't help but cough, reminding Long Xueqing, who was staring at him in a daze.

Long Xueqing immediately snapped out of her daze and hurriedly said:

"Ah...Does Lord Granstas have any orders...?"

Gransta looked at Long Xueqing with a puzzled expression, wondering why she had been behaving strangely ever since he left the Demon City.

"Xueqing, are you feeling unwell? Why were you spacing out just now?"

When confronted with Lord Gransta's question, her ears immediately turned red, and she stammered, unable to give a clear answer.

"No...no...no."

Fortunately at this time,

puff-

The sound of everyone kneeling in unison came from the outer door of the reception room, followed by respectful voices.

"His Majesty!"

King Gazel walked past the soldiers without revealing a trace of emotion, a slight smile playing on his lips as he approached the room.

As he pushed open the platinum-colored door to the room, their eyes met the instant he stepped inside.

"Gazelle!"

"Gransta!"

The moment Gazel saw Gransta, his imposing aura vanished, as if he were seeing an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Haha, Gransta, if you hadn't come soon, I would have gone to the Monster Capital myself."

A booming voice broke the silence, and Gazel approached with shining eyes.

"I think you're just looking for an excuse to fight me!"

Gulansta immediately guessed Gazel's true intentions and shook his head with a smile.

"I actually have that idea!"

Gazel was incredibly straightforward. He sat down in front of him, then looked around at the other people in the room.

Besides Long Xueqing, there were only a few other people, including Ramiris, whom he did not recognize.

Gazel was extremely sensitive to auras, and he sensed the familiar scent of a 'sword' emanating from the ice-helmeted knight behind him.

"Gransta, who are these people?"

Gransta smiled and introduced the Ice Guard to Gazel, first pointing to the Ice Guard standing motionless beside him.

"You've actually met this person before..."

"Oh?"

Gazel narrowed his eyes intently, scrutinizing the ice knight opposite him.

Aside from sensing a familiar presence, he had absolutely no recollection of this person.

Knowing that Gazel would never guess, Granstad explained in detail.

As he listened to Gransta's explanation, Gazel's gaze towards the Ice Guard shifted from surprise to disbelief, and finally to shock.

With a 'whoosh', he quickly stood up from his seat, strode over to the Ice Guard, and carefully examined him.

"The Ice Guardian's size... this is simply a miracle, that a summoned creature could achieve something like this..."

As if he had just thought of something, Gazel blurted it out.

"Even those madmen of the Magic Dynasty don't have this kind of technology!"

"I've heard that even cyborg technology hasn't reached this level..."

Although the Ice Guards were rather quiet and didn't like to talk, they still felt uneasy being stared at by Gazel with that look of disbelief.

"Tap—tap"

The Ice Guard instinctively distanced itself from Gazel, its eyes beneath its helmet flashing for a moment, seemingly...

"Ahem...sorry." Gazel realized he had been somewhat out of line, so he coughed calmly and quickly regained his composure as a king.

Gransta took a sip of tea with a smile on his lips. He could understand Gazel's loss of composure, but the Ice Guard's disdainful attitude made him want to laugh.

After Gazel sat back down, he spoke earnestly to him:

"Gransta, I wonder if I could borrow the Ice Guard for a while... Perhaps my research team can replicate this miracle."

Gulansta's face, which was about to smile, immediately froze, and he almost spat out the tea in his mouth.

His gaze toward Gazel turned dangerous, and he shook his head in refusal without hesitation, his attitude resolute.

"impossible!"

Seeing that Gransta's gaze was turning sharp, Gazel quickly raised his hand and said:

"Just kidding!"

"This joke isn't funny, Gazel, please don't contradict my subordinate's decision."

He had to dispel Gazel's dangerous idea; the Ice Guards were his subordinates and he would never entrust them to anyone for research.

"well..."

Gazel gave a wry smile. Perhaps it was because he had been spending too much time in the research department lately, and he wanted to learn about anything that seemed unusual.

Gulansta put down his teacup, straightened his body, and crossed his arms.

"Gazelle, I've brought Ramiris here. She's in your care now. My journey hasn't ended yet..."

"Um?"

Gulansta stretched, and Long Xueqing and the Ice Guard immediately came up behind him and started to walk out without saying a word.

Gazel quickly stopped him, a wry smile on his face.

"Oh, Gransta, you can't just leave like this. What am I going to say if the Elf Queen wakes up?"

"Besides, why did you leave? Doesn't that imply that our dwarf kingdom has failed to properly entertain its guests?"

Seeing that Gazel was blocking his way, he felt his hand being pulled.

He looked down and saw that it was Kuroya holding his hand, looking at him timidly and whispering, as if she was afraid that he would leave.

"I...want to go with you."

Gransta looked into Kuroya's sincere green eyes and was slightly moved.

"Kuroya, you need to stay by Treyne's side. We're not going out to play."

Kuroya shook her head firmly.

He picked up Kuroya without hesitation, unable to refuse such a cute little girl. Long Xueqing's eyes trembled slightly, but she didn't react.

Coincidentally, Gazel offered a word of advice at that moment.

"Gransta, I promised you last time that as long as you send Ramiris over, I would give you a set of magic armor tailored to your specifications."

"You can't let me break my promise."

Gazel went to great lengths to keep Gransta, first promising to give him a set of magical armor.

"Magic armor?"

Granstas became slightly interested. His original intention was to drop Ramiris off here and then continue his journey, leaving Torene to take care of her should not be a problem.

But it seems that Kuroya has already latched onto him, and he is also interested in the technology that the dwarves are researching, so he has to consider it.
