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

"Masked Squad...?" Kabaru's expression shifted. Why would a swordsman he admired so much be called that?

As his eyes darted around, he noticed a wolf head mask hanging around the Ice Guard's neck and immediately realized what was going on.

"Waaah... Knight must be the kind of person who does good deeds anonymously... He's so great! Mask... Mask suits him so well." Kabaru's eyes were practically sparkling, his admiration growing stronger. That sword move he just saw was so cool, he absolutely had to learn it... and definitely not just to show off.

Seeing Kabaru drooling and sticking to his armor, the Ice Guard tilted his head, somewhat puzzled. "Are all humans like this?"

"Are you stupid? The Masked Squad is of course the name of the adventure team... Kabaru, get out of here, you're too embarrassing." Eileen was speechless and grabbed Kabaru by the ear and threw him away.

Then she looked at the Ice Guard with an apologetic expression and said embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, our captain is always like that. Um... are you a member of the Masked Adventurer Team?"

"Yes." The Ice Guard nodded.

"So you have other teammates? Where are they?" Ellen asked tentatively, curiously.

The Ice Guardian didn't speak, but instead raised his head and looked up at the sky.

The trio of Ellen followed the Ice Knight's gaze and looked up.

Then everyone's expressions turned as if they had seen a ghost, utterly horrified.

A hundred meters above the sky, a mysterious man in a long blue robe fluttered in the wind, his face covered by a half-mask. Behind him was a woman holding a child, her golden dragon wings particularly eye-catching.

Gransta crossed his arms and gazed calmly down below, but when he could clearly see the three people, he rubbed his head in exasperation.

"Are these three cockroaches? It's unbelievable that they can be chased by monsters right at their own doorstep."

Long Xueqingzi was also surprised when she saw the three of them: "Lord Gransta, how did Ellen and the others end up here? What if our identities are discovered?"

"Let's go down and take a look first, and see how things go." Gransta didn't expect this simple cover-up to fool the trio who had seen them before.

So Gransta and the other two landed in front of Kabaru.

Huh? They didn't recognize them immediately. Looks like there's still hope.

"W-wh... an adventurer team that can fly... do they all have special abilities?" Kabaru was so shocked that he stammered. Judging from the aura of these people, he judged that this adventurer team was at least A-rank.

However, the moment Ellen saw Gransta, her eyes immediately became suspicious. What was this familiar and friendly feeling about this person?

After noticing Ellen's suspicious gaze, Gransta subconsciously concealed the magical aura on his body and even used a simulation skill.

Fortunately, the mask on his face can hide his elven features, and Gransta now looks more like a better-looking human.

The moment Gransta landed, the Ice Guardians instinctively stood behind him, clearly indicating that he was the leader of the team.

"Are you the other members of the Masked Adventurer Squad?" Ellen asked politely. She hadn't expected that this overly powerful Ice Knight wasn't the captain, but rather this human who looked far too young.

"That's right, our team was just passing by when we heard your cries for help... so we came over." Gransta, disguised as a 'human,' responded gently, changing his tone.

They deliberately avoided mentioning the word "mask" at all, choosing to omit it entirely.

"Thank you so much, otherwise we might not have been able to go home." Ellen immediately pulled her two still bewildered teammates over and bowed to Gransta in unison.

"Ah...yes, thank you so much." Kabaru and Kid quickly became serious, realizing that this seemingly ordinary person was at least a strong individual, given that he was the captain of the Ice Knight.

Long Xueqing stood behind Lord Gulansta with her head down, not daring to speak, afraid that she would expose herself if she spoke.

Kuroya, on the other hand, looked at the group with great interest, and she even sensed a trace of elven energy from the girl in front of her.

...

"You're also adventurers heading to the Magic Dynasty? What a coincidence!" Kabal immediately became excited. If that were the case, wouldn't he have many more opportunities to ask that Ice Knight master for advice?

"We've heard that the elven magic of the Magic Dynasty is exceptionally advanced, so we thought we'd come here to acquire some powerful magical equipment." Gransta spoke as if he were an ordinary adventurer, brimming with curiosity about the Magic Dynasty.

He did this because he thought of these people who happened to be from the Magic Dynasty, and Ellen was also an elf princess.

If I were to stay by the side of these people, wouldn't it be easy to access the central capital of the Magic Dynasty—the World Tree?

"That's such a coincidence! We're going the same way, so we don't need Kabaru, who has no sense of direction, to lead the way anymore." Ellen excitedly expressed her desire to travel with them.

This remark drew a barrage of complaints from Kabaru. What do you mean he's directionally challenged? If it weren't for this mischievous young lady insisting on picking up the "little mongrel" on the ground and petting it a few times, would they be in such a sorry state?

Gransta watched the group playfully bickering with a smile. He had already witnessed their eccentricities before. Back when he was just a little elf, hiding and sleeping...

"I haven't asked your names yet. When I get home, I'll definitely make my dad thank you," Eileen asked somewhat shyly.

This statement surprised Granstad and the others. They only had the name of their adventure team, and didn't yet have their own disguised names.

He and Long Xueqing exchanged a glance; now was not the time to reveal their real names.

Seeing Gransta's hesitation, Ellen's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of suspicion flashing across her face.

"Um, I..." Before Gransta could finish speaking, Kuroya, who had been being held by Long Xueqing, immediately jumped down.

"Of course we're called the Masked Squad, and we each have our own names..."

Gransta immediately and awkwardly covered Chloe's pouting lips.

Now is not the time to say the real name, and could you please stop calling me "mask"? A bitter feeling welled up inside me.

When Eileen saw Chloe, she was immediately charmed by the girl who jumped out, and her little mask was also very cute.

"So cute!"
