The Path to Lordship Begins in the North

The Sea of ​​Impermanence, its surface rippling gently in the breeze like a blue ribbon, is where a fleet of ships slowly sails.

Although the sea breeze was gentle now, no one on the ship dared to relax. The calmer the sea was now, the more likely it was to become turbulent later.

Rosalind was currently leading her people, patiently communicating with the people on each ship to confirm that there were no troops from the Kingdom of Avar nearby.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness. According to the intelligence we have received, Avar's group has not yet discovered this route. As long as nothing unexpected happens, it will be difficult for them to find us on the high seas."

Hearing the old man beside her say that, Rosalyn's worry eased a little, but only a little.

"Grand Preceptor, how could I not know this? But this is, after all, the Sea of ​​Impermanence, a legendary sea where giant waves and sea monsters may appear at any time."

"Moreover, unlike the Kingdom of Avar, we can't set off directly from the seaports of the areas we control. Castile is already much farther from the Mu Continent, and we also have to go around the territory controlled by the Kingdom of Avar. Just the route into the Sea of ​​Unpredictability has already consumed most of our supplies."

The gray-robed imperial advisor reassured him, "Your Highness, we had already calculated the supplies before we set off. Even if we encounter any unexpected events, we can manage."

At the same time, the grey-robed royal advisor gave Rosalyn a meaningful look, and Rosalyn then realized that many worried sailors and warriors were watching her.

"You're right. We're getting closer and closer to the Mu Continent. We're sure we can find the legendary elves to help us."

Upon hearing Rosalyn's words, the surrounding gazes gradually dispersed.

Once back in his cabin, the gray-robed imperial advisor admonished him, "Your Highness, it is precisely at times like these that you must not show any worry or anxiety, otherwise your emotions will easily infect those below you."

"I'm sorry, Imperial Preceptor... I'm just genuinely a little worried."

"I understand Your Highness's feelings. Please rest assured, although this route is longer, it is safer. Soon we will enter the Sea of ​​Mist. Once we reach the Sea of ​​Mist, we will be safe. Even if the soldiers and dragons of the Kingdom of Avar discover us, they will not dare to venture into the Sea of ​​Mist without the guidance of a compass."

"Then, we can follow the instructions in the ancient books to land, set foot on the Mu Continent, and find the elves."

The grey-robed royal advisor stroked the compass and ancient books in his hands. These were not only the fleet's hope for survival at sea, but also Castile's last hope.

Avar and the other nations on the continent of Sauron fought to the bitter end, and because their magical environment was severely damaged, they had to find another way out.

But what about the other countries on the continent of Sauron? Moreover, within the Sauron Alliance, which is resisting the Kingdom of Avar, discordant voices are gradually emerging.

Castilia, which was at the forefront of the resistance against the Kingdom of Avar, was already a weakened giant, while the countries in the alliance that did not directly participate in the war were strong and healthy. Before the Kingdom of Avar had even fallen, these strong and healthy countries had already begun to divide up the spoils and annex their allies.

However, the Kingdom of Avar seems to have recently found a route back to the continent of Mu, engaging in trade with those countries on Mu that are rich in gold, and bringing with them all sorts of weapons, including cannons that can be fired simply by loading shells and various firearms.

These weapons, which do not require magic to use, are virtually invincible in the destroyed magical environment, which has enabled Avar to launch a counterattack in these areas.

And the Kingdom of Castile, which had once been at the forefront of the attack, was naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Castile is now caught between a rock and a hard place. In the kingdom's despair, Castile's royal advisor proposed developing a sea route that bypasses the Avar-controlled area and connects to the continent of Mu.

The continent of Mu is paved with gold, and its rivers flow with milk. The weapons, tools, spices, and sugar that the Kingdom of Avar brought back from Mu are worth countless times more on the continent of Soren, which has brought Avar back to life from the brink of collapse.

Castile can maintain its domestic stability through trade with the continent of Mu. Moreover, those cannons and muskets are only found on the continent of Mu. Only by acquiring these firearms can Castile once again contend with the Avar.

The plan to travel to the continent of Mu was quickly initiated. Castile's Grand Master soon calculated a route from ancient texts that would lead to the continent of Mu and bypass the Kingdom of Avar.

The most important aspect of this route is that it allows direct access to the legendary territory controlled by the elves.

No one knew the extent of the cooperation between the Kingdom of Avar and the countries on the continent of Mu. At this time, Castile could only place its hopes on the legendary elves.

Long-lived, intelligent, pure, and noble, and according to the insider, Avar has a very bad relationship with the elves of Mu Continent because of his super-rank magic. In fact, the elves were partly responsible for Avar's kingdom being driven out of Mu Continent in the first place.

So if we find the elves, we might be able to get their help.

But these are far too idealistic, and the Sea of ​​Impermanence is inherently treacherous, not to mention having to evade the warships of the Kingdom of Avar and those greedy dragons along the way.

To the Castilian nobles, this was essentially a journey with no chance of survival. In fact, the journey became a tool for the Castilian royal family to eliminate dissidents, and the pro-war princess Rosalind and the grey-robed royal advisor who proposed the idea were thus thrown out.

Of course, Rosalind was unaware of the intricacies involved. She only knew that her father had entrusted her with the heavy responsibility of finding the legendary elves, and had also assigned her a royal advisor and a group of warriors.

Apart from a few well-trained soldiers, most of these warriors were desperate criminals hoping to turn their lives around.

"Grand Preceptor, do you think we can really find the legendary spirit?"

Rosalyn then pulled out the picture book that she had already worn out from reading it so many times.

"It is certainly possible, Your Highness. According to the map of the Mu continent that Avar brought back, although the elven kingdom is a bit far away, it is very vast. As long as we can set foot on the land of the Mu continent, it will be easy to find the elven kingdom."

What the Grand Tutor didn't know was that although the Elven Empire of Goggle covered a large area, most of it was mountains and forests, and the land was vast but the elves were sparse. However, when Rosalind saw the vast Elven Empire in the atlas, her anxiety was finally relieved.

This voyage went even more smoothly than expected. Thanks to the help of the Grey-Robed Grand Master, we did not encounter any of Avar's armies along the way. Now, all we have to do is change course and sail into the Sea of ​​Mist, and we will no longer have to worry.

"Imperial Preceptor, are all the elves very beautiful?"

"I don't know, after all, apart from the ancestors of the Kingdom of Avar, no one on the continent of Soren has ever seen an elf."

The gray-robed imperial advisor looked at the little princess with kind eyes and reached out to tidy Rosalyn's hair, which was a little frizzy from the long voyage.

Most people in Castile were against this adventure, but only the little princess, who had been a staunch advocate of war, supported him. Grey Robe knew that this was why the young Rosalind was sent to do such a dangerous thing.

Just when everyone thought the Sea of ​​Unpredictability was in a good mood and they could pass through smoothly, something unexpected was about to happen. Suddenly, panicked voices came from the deck: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
