My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

He originally just wanted to walk around a few streets nearby and then go back, but he never expected that he would be recognized by passersby and surrounded by them as soon as he entered the neighborhood.

Within just a few breaths, the area was completely surrounded by fans.

Some people, upon learning the latest information, called him the Wind God, while others called him Lord Weiss. Compared to the latter two titles, these were already considered quite good.

Several young girls dressed in Ice Cloud Academy uniforms were hysterically shouting "Daddy" and "Husband".

Weiss was so cornered that he could barely turn around. He had no choice but to activate the wind field and suspend himself about 100 meters in the air. Then he and Aunt Bai slunk away.

Looking at the still-screaming, frenzied crowd below, Aunt Bai couldn't help but sigh speechlessly, "They're really popular..."

I remember 20 years ago, the idol-chasing culture in the capital wasn't this intense.

Times are changing so fast...

Weiss was also somewhat speechless.

It seems I'll have to take some precautions to conceal myself when going out from now on, like wearing a hat, or maybe I should wait until the hype surrounding the Snow Palace Trial has died down a bit.

All right......

It seems unlikely that the swelling will subside.

After all, the legends of heroes are still widely known and circulated today. If nothing unexpected happens, the next one to appear will be the legend of the storm...

Supported by the wind, Weiss carried Aunt Bai as they floated slowly in the sky above the royal city.

Since he has not yet officially advanced to the seventh level of the Storm, he cannot achieve true supersonic flight. He can only rely on the gravity of the wind field to float slowly in mid-air, and his speed is about the same as that of a carriage.

From the air, the streets and alleys of the royal city were still packed with people.

While drifting aimlessly, Weiss asked curiously:

"Aunt Bai, if you're talking about scaring someone insane just by their aura, what kind of sequence and method would be needed to do that?"

Hearing this, Aunt Bai remained silent for a long time.

Then, with an extremely solemn tone, he asked in return:

"Are you talking about the Ten Kings of Twilight?"

"I don't know much about what happened back then, but in any case, you must not inquire about the affairs of the Hundred Flowers Royal City. This is a taboo topic that is strictly forbidden to be discussed in the Night Patrol's jurisdiction, and it is not allowed to be disseminated in any written form."

"Then, regarding your question... just discussing whether superhumans can scare people insane with their aura, it is indeed possible. But as far as I know, the most extreme level they can achieve is limited to scaring ordinary people, or low-level superhumans like those at the eighth or ninth rank, to the point of mental breakdown."

"If we evaluate it according to this scale and standard, the fact that Bo Mu, the second seat of the original Ten Kings, was driven mad by the release of his aura without any actual combat is far beyond my comprehension and beyond the scope of the extraordinary theories we currently possess. Therefore, this is not something we can explore at present..."

At this moment, as Aunt Bai's words of admonition fell to the ground.

Weiss didn't dwell on it or feel overly worried.

Let alone the Hundred Flowers Royal City, even if the Emperor Clown were to return to life, a single wave of his fan would still bring everything to a standstill.

With the North Wind in hand, I fear no one!

After leisurely circling the entire core area of ​​the royal city, and seeing that it was getting close to noon, he turned around and planned to return to the Lunette family mansion.

As soon as Weiss and Aunt Bai floated back to the top of the mansion entrance, they saw a strangely familiar white figure standing at the gate.

The newcomer was none other than the Snow Knight...

He was standing at the entrance of the mansion talking to the young swordsman, and the atmosphere between them seemed a little stiff.

The young swordsman leaned against the doorpost with his arms crossed, his arrogant and cold attitude making the snow knight feel extremely uncomfortable.

Upon seeing Weiss return, the Snow Knight immediately showed a relieved expression.

"Mr. Weiss, you're finally back. Well, actually, uh, Night Patrol has something very important to discuss with you..."

"Although Lady Cassandra strongly objected, I still want you to hear about this matter first."

Weiss gave Cassandra a somewhat incredulous look.

Cassandra curled her lip expressionlessly, glancing towards the Snow Knight, signaling him to spit it out.

"That's right. The Starry Sky Merchant Guild will be holding a meeting in Golden Silkworm City a week from now, and all ten kings will be invited to attend. This matter is of great importance. Apart from Lord Cang, who is guarding the Southern Region, all ten kings will probably be present."

"So, you want us to refuse the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce's invitation?" Weiss raised an eyebrow.

"No, Night Patrol wants both of you to agree..."

"Because this meeting was decided upon by Night Patrol and the Starry Sky Merchant Guild after discussing it overnight. I have no idea about the specific content and agenda, I only know that we should try our best to get all ten kings present."

"Night Patrol promises that, regardless of whether it's Star Clock or Dragon's Nest, as long as they send ten monarchs to this meeting, their travel policies will be clearly relaxed. Lady Cassandra, the same applies to you; please be sure to consider it..."

Weiss was genuinely puzzled by Snow Knight's words.

He originally thought that the Starry Sky Merchant Guild wanted to take advantage of the situation to win over the Ten Kings, so the Night Patrol sent people over in advance to give them a heads-up.

Surprisingly, the truth was quite the opposite; it seemed that Night Patrol had personally pushed for it.

Cassandra, arms crossed, gave a cold laugh that showed no mercy: "Ha, what occasion in this world requires ten kings to gather? And what difficulty is there that a sixth-ranked being cannot accomplish, but a first-ranked ant can?"

"It's either a conspiracy or a huge problem..."

The Snow Knight was speechless, choked by Cassandra's words.

He stammered as he explained, "Well, I don't know the specifics, but just guessing, there must be a reason why it's inconvenient for someone at the 6th level to show up, right?"

"impossible--"

Cassandra emphasized.

In this world, apart from the source path, no matter how strong a 7th rank is, it is impossible to defeat a 6th rank.

The extraordinary power possessed by these two levels is not even in the same dimension.

The only known case of a Tier 6 death in recent years has occurred only once in the Dark Realm.

The one who died was a successor of the Three Killings Sect.

The entire royal council was in an uproar.

Although the case had many suspicious points, it was too difficult to handle by the underworld, and it was eventually left unresolved until the Caged Bird incident broke out, which finally proved that the death was not unjust.

Just then, Weiss, who had been deep in thought for a long time, suddenly spoke:

"No, actually, there are still some..."

The Snow Knight, Cassandra, and Aunt White all looked over at the same time.

Weiss slowly uttered two words.

"The Feather..."

Upon hearing this, Cassandra's eyes lit up.

Aunt Bai also perked up, as if she had suddenly realized something.

Only the Snow Knight's expression remained blank.

Since he genuinely didn't know the specifics of the meeting, he didn't know whether Weiss had guessed correctly or not.

Why can't a sixth-tier expert be involved once something is related to the Feathered One?

With Snow Knight's current experience and understanding, he can't quite figure this out in the short term.

But in reality, ever since he was forced to relocate from Moonlit City, Weiss had been thinking about and keeping track of the whereabouts of those Feathered Ones, and would occasionally sneak a peek at the kill list.

The result was quite intriguing.

Although the Night Patrol spent half a day clearing out the northern territory, any neutral Feathered Warrior who opened the leaderboard could see that none of the 10 strongest Feathered Warriors on the kill list had died. On the contrary, the number of enemies killed by each of them had increased significantly.

Unsurprisingly, they are probably all secretly killing people around the world now. Even if their strength is not enough to affect the royal city, many neighboring and suburban towns will definitely be affected.

If Weiss's guess is correct, the Starry Sky Merchant Guild was most likely also impacted and suffered heavy losses; otherwise, there would have been no need to summon all ten monarchs.

As for the explanation of this 6th tier that the Snow Knight couldn't understand at the moment...

Unlike the Little Sword Saint, who is a naturally pure killing machine, most Feathered Ones are second-order beings who awaken their powers through feathers, which makes their killing will far less intense than that of those who are born with these powers.

That's why it developed into—

That kind of behavior—not walking when you're comfortable, and walking when you're not comfortable...

This means that, in any case, they will definitely not engage in direct conflict with 6th-tier superhumans.

If the aura of a 6th-tier being in the mortal realm is leaked, even the Feathered Warriors and Feathered Kings within a radius of 80,000 miles will feel uneasy and leave on their own.

The Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce must have also considered this level.

Besides, just as the Little Sword Saint said, Weiss really couldn't think of any other event in the world that would require a group of top seventh-tier experts to come together and resolve it in a big way, instead of quietly sending a sixth-tier expert to handle it discreetly.

"That's settled then. We'll go. You can go back and report..."

Weiss gave a reply.

The still bewildered Snow Knight glanced cautiously at Cassandra, and only after she nodded slightly did he breathe a sigh of relief, nod gratefully to Weiss, and then turn and leave.

As the snow knight's figure gradually disappeared from sight.

A light seemed to flicker in Cassandra's double pupils as she turned her head and smiled at Weiss: "Could it be that Mr. Weiss agreed because he wanted to satisfy me?"

Faced with Aunt Bai's suspicious gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them, Weiss didn't explain much, but simply nodded expressionlessly.

He had indeed made a promise with the Little Sword Saint that he would take her out to hunt down Feathered Warriors as soon as the Snow Palace Trial was over.

but......

It's not just for that reason.

Weiss never forgot how, during the migration, he was inexplicably bombarded by someone and almost lost the entire game.

Perhaps this time, with the help of the Starry Sky Merchant Guild, we can find the Feather King who was suspected of having the 6th-tier Natural Thunder Path!

......

The official notification from the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce came even faster than Weiss had anticipated.

Just a week later, before the Snow Palace Trials were even repaired, they had already issued a notice to all ten kings.

The forbidden items used by the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce this time are extremely unusual.

In the dead of night, while Weiss was taking a bath with Aunt Bai, a giant clown frame suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Below the clown's face, several lines of information composed of illusory black text appeared.

【Respected Ten Kings, Lord Wind God, the Starry Sky Merchant Guild formally invites you to come to Golden Silkworm City within one week to discuss important matters. The deposit is 1 drop of Tier 6 Dream Potion, and approximately 10 more drops of Dream Potion will be provided later depending on the progress of the cooperation】

[Agree] — [Reject]

[WARNING: If you click "Agree" but fail to fulfill the contract terms, you will be subject to extremely severe penalties. Breach of contract due to external interference will be exempt from many penalties.]

Weiss extended his finger and clicked the "Agree" button on the screen.

The clown's bright red tongue suddenly "whooshed" out of its mouth.

A bottle of Dream Potion just fell out, looking fresh and clean, and landed directly in the water, startling Aunt Bai who was swimming on her back in the bathtub.

She rolled around in the water, looked around in shock, and then looked at the dream potion that had fallen out of nowhere.

No, did a pie fall from the sky?

"This is a deposit sent directly by the Starry Sky Merchant Guild through a certain forbidden item. Just now, a clown border popped up out of nowhere. Aunt Bai, do you know what this forbidden item is?"

Weiss reached out and scooped up the bottle of potion that had almost sunk to the bottom, placing it on the shelf next to the bathtub.

Aunt Bai readjusted her floating posture, poked half her head out of the water, gurgled and bubbled for a while, and after thinking for half a minute, she vaguely remembered something.

"I remember now, it must be the clown game, right?"

"This thing isn't very strong or has a high number, but it's quite versatile. However, generally, those at the level of the Ten Kings can withstand the punishment."

"Therefore, the power of this forbidden object alone cannot truly restrain both parties. However, because of the cooperation and supervision of the Night Patrol, I think there shouldn't be any major problems in this incident."

At this point, Aunt Bai added, "Weiss, since you and Cassandra are going together this time, you can look after each other. I'm not too worried, so I'll stay here at the manor to look after Elune..."

"it is good"

Weiss nodded; he was almost done washing.

He got up, put on a bathrobe, and left the bathroom with the Dream Potion.

The distance between Golden Silkworm City and Night Patrol Royal City is not far, and there is a full week to spare.

Neither Weiss nor Cassandra were in a hurry to leave, and they had discussed it beforehand, planning to decide on their itinerary a few days later, closer to the deadline.

However, after taking a shower, Weiss did not go straight back to Elune's room. Instead, he turned a corner and opened the door to a guest room that was usually unused.
