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

"Senior World Tree... I will not lend you my authority."

Gransta thought for a moment,

Since his use of power would bring crisis to the Salian dynasty, there was no need for him to do so.

"Aren't you going to consider it?"

Salion's gentle eyes fell on him, but Gransta shook his head.

Gransta didn't want to stay there either, so he retreated.

"Sigh... Fate is such a thing... it's hard to fathom..."

"Salion" watched Gransta's departing figure and sighed.

Then, she looked in one direction, waved, and said:

"Child, come out, I know you're there."

At this time,

A graceful figure slowly appeared and walked towards the World Tree, though her face was slightly flushed.

"You heard everything, didn't you?"

Salion kept his head down and made a sound as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Um..."

She looked up at the World Tree and said:

"Senior, why do you disagree with lending him the power? Is it just because of that one piece of fate?"

But the World Tree shook its head and said softly:

"Actually... I have very little insight into his fate, but I am certain that he will face a crisis later."

"As for the authority... that will depend on you, child."

The World Tree looked at Salion meaningfully, and after speaking, its body, formed from life energy, gradually became transparent.

"Senior...I don't quite understand."

Salion's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

But before she could finish her question, the World Tree's figure completely vanished from this space.

The blush on her face lingered as she recalled the conversation between the World Tree and Gransta.

"Senior World Tree... how could you do this...?"

......

After Gransta emerged from the inner space of the World Tree, he did not see Salion again.

He waited there for a while before Salion came out.

Her expression was calm, as if nothing had happened, and she said:

"Gransta, I regret to inform you that the World Tree has not agreed to lend you its authority."

Gulansta laughed:

"Actually... I think it's better not to lend it."

He didn't want to plunge the Salian dynasty into crisis after borrowing power; he was, after all, the Elven Duke of this dynasty, albeit in name only.

"Um, I'm sorry I can't help you."

Salion hesitated for a moment before saying:

Are you going back?

"Yes, if I can't borrow power, of course I have to go back to Tempest."

Seeing a slight daze on Salion's stunning face, Gulansta joked:

"Why... don't you want me to leave?"

As soon as Gransta uttered those words, Salion rolled his eyes and said:

"You should leave. If you stay here, I'm afraid this place will freeze into an ice kingdom."

"Haha, you've heard about it."

Guransta smiled and put his hands behind his head.

It seems that Salion already knows about his feat in the Kingdom of Falmus, which transformed a country into a land of ice and snow.

"Your way of doing things... those demon kings will get tired of you sooner or later."

"I don't care."

Kill two demon kings and freeze a human empire.

I'm afraid that within those demon king circles, Gransta is just a madman.

Seeing that Gransta was about to leave, Salion hesitated for a moment and said:

"Could you do me a favor?"

Gransta paused, turned around, and said:

"If His Majesty Salion has a request, I will certainly help him."

"You should still call me... Salion, it sounds better."

Salion rolled his eyes at Gransta, then said:

"Actually, I want to keep Victor and Cromwell by your side."

"Um?"

Gulansta was stunned. Was he going to hand over his subordinate to him?

He remembered these two people: one was a genius swordsman from the Magic Dynasty, and the other was the commander of the Royal Magic Legion, whose strength was only at A- level, but who had good military command talent.

When Salion mentioned the two of them, she sounded somewhat disappointed and said:

"I originally planned to send them out to see the vastness of the world, but I didn't expect them to be sent back as soon as they set off on their first trip."

"Oh? Even your sword saint was defeated."

Gransta became interested. Victor, the Sword Saint, was at least comparable to a Demon King, but he was defeated as soon as he left his home. Gransta was also curious about who was so powerful.

"He lost, and was so badly beaten that he became withdrawn and has been in seclusion ever since he came back."

"Who did they encounter?"

Salion sighed helplessly and continued:

"She was a female knight with a sword, a very young human woman."

"According to Cromwell, when Victor first saw this human, he realized that he was a master swordsman and took the initiative to challenge him."

"As a result... he was defeated within three moves, and his opponent even left with a message saying 'I'm leaving.'"

Guranstad already guessed who the two had encountered. He wanted to laugh, but he wouldn't laugh out loud in front of Salion.

He asked curiously:

"What did they say?"

"The sword is nice... but the swordsmanship is still lacking."

Gulansta finally couldn't help but laugh. He could imagine the cold expression on her face after she said those words; it was definitely in her style.

"Is this funny?"

Salion narrowed his eyes, staring at Gransta.

Granstas composed himself and said seriously:

"No... I just think they were a bit unlucky. If they had encountered a weaker opponent, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Salion was well aware of this, but unfortunately, his two subordinates had become somewhat demoralized after experiencing a series of setbacks.

Aren't you going to help me?

"Of course we should help."

A short while later, Salion used his powerful mental energy to summon the two into the palace.

Upon seeing Salion, the two knelt on one knee and respectfully said:

"teacher."

"Your Majesty Salion."

Their hearts trembled when they looked up and saw a man behind His Majesty Salion.

Why is this person here?

However, at Salion's prompting, they still bowed respectfully and said:

"Your Highness the Duke."×2

Gulansta could see that they were somewhat downcast, it seemed that the two setbacks had had a significant impact on them.

Salion didn't waste any words and said directly:

"From now on, you will follow Duke Gulansta, and I hope you can learn something useful from him."

The two exchanged a surprised glance, but dared not disobey His Majesty Salion's orders.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Salion turned to look at Gransta and said:

"They're in your hands now. I hope they'll have grown by the time I see them next time."

"Um."

Granstas came to the Magic Dynasty, but instead of borrowing the World Tree authority, he ended up with two more people by his side.

Just as Gransta left the border of the Magic Dynasty, Ether's voice came.

"Lord Gransta, the King of Wisdom, Sharl, has sent over a hundred requests for information connection."

"Okay, then let's connect."

Gransta almost forgot that he had blocked Rimuru. He was busy with important business just now, so Ether was kind enough not to remind him.

Rimuru must have something important to tell him, otherwise he wouldn't have asked him for permission more than a hundred times.

It's clear the other party is in a hurry.

"The Magic Corridor has been established, and the communication application has been approved."

A moment later, he heard Rimuru's voice.

"Huh? It passed?"

"Gransta!! You've blocked me for so long, you bastard!!!"

"Veldora and I almost conspired to invade the Sorcerer's Kingdom."

"What?" Gransta heard an important message from Rimuru's words.

"Veldra the Storm Dragon, you've unlocked the [Infinite Prison]?"

Gransta exclaimed with delight, "The liberation of Veldora means that we have gained even more confidence."

"Hmph, is this difficult for me?"

Rimuru said arrogantly, though his anger had not yet subsided.

Victor and Cromwell were shocked. What had they just heard?

The Storm Dragon Veldora? A legendary dragon species?

really?
