All the heavens began with Huo Yi

“We’re almost at the Yatan Plateau. If we don’t use the large elevator, we’ll have to travel even further to actually reach it.” Suer pointed to the map spread out in his hand, and as he moved his fingertips, he showed Lani where they were.

"How many days would it take if we take the long way around?" Lani came out this time because she heard her second brother's description and couldn't wait to travel. Naturally, she wanted to travel as much as possible. Otherwise, Suer would have already used his wind manipulation technique to take Lani flying.

"It will take about a day and a half. Climbing that old plank road is physically demanding, so it will take a while. After we get out, we will reach the hill near the Golden Tree. The nearby Lux Castle will be a good place for us to rest."

Suer pointed to the plank road corridor on the map, which was the route taken by the Golden Dark Cultivator during the first battle between Gold and Moon.

Lani nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the clear route Suer had drawn. It was so reassuring to have someone plan the trip.

If we hadn't brought Sull along, Blaze's terrible sense of direction would probably have led her all the way to the Weeping Peninsula, since that stupid dog can even read a map upside down.

It's just that Blazer, who's standing to the side, can't read minds. If he could know what Lani is thinking right now, he would definitely... give her a thumbs up and say, "Princess, you're absolutely right!"

"Let's take the long way. This is the first time I've traveled this far. Wouldn't it be a waste not to see more of the world?"

“Then let’s go, Princess and Sur.” Seeing that Lani had made up her mind, Blaze took the lead and walked ahead of the two of them.

"Blaze, you're going the wrong way! That's it!"

Seeing Blaze's unwavering demeanor, Sull was genuinely reluctant to tell him he had gone astray, but considering they couldn't spend the night in the lake, Sull still corrected his course.

The amusement from this little incident quickly passed, and the group quickened their pace, arriving at the plank road before nightfall.

A small village has developed below the plank road, consisting of only six or seven small wooden houses, surrounding the vertical mountain plank road.

This small village was actually just a rest stop set up by the soldiers of Rodel who were guarding the plank road.

After inquiring, I learned that these soldiers were all under the command of Sir Lux, and that guarding this trestle was a task given to Lux by Radagan.

Upon learning that Lani was the daughter of their superior officer, the soldiers there immediately gave the group a warm welcome.

Because the village was simple, the captain of the garrison soldiers led the way for Lani and her party.

……

"I didn't expect it to be this fast." Suer looked at the golden tree that was right in front of him. By this time, the group had already arrived at the Yatan Plateau.

"To get to the snowfield, you have to pass through the royal city. I don't know what the difference is between the Golden Royal City and the city of Kalia, but from the outside it looks much bigger than the Kalia Royal City."

Even standing on the edge of the Altan Plateau, Lani could clearly see the magnificent and towering city.

"Why don't we go and see for ourselves? Both Prince Rataen and Prince Rakad have praised Prince Godwin, and it's said that you can see ancient dragons inside. I've heard that ancient dragons are much more beautiful than those flying dragons."

I've seen plenty of flying dragons like Sur, and they even exist in the world of Hoy. I even rescued a female black dragon from the Hebdiri Islands with Papi before, but I've never actually seen an ancient dragon like Sur in person, and I don't know how it differs from the one in the game.

"Are you very interested in dragons?" Lani asked, slightly puzzled, looking at the somewhat excited Sul.

"Of course, don't you think dragons are very impressive? Of course, it would be even more impressive to be able to ride on a dragon's back. A dragon knight would definitely be someone who attracts everyone's attention as soon as he appears."

However, dragons are mostly proud creatures. Even the dragons on Huo Yi's side need to be recognized by the dragons before they can climb onto their backs. It is estimated that Papi can become a dragon-riding wizard in the future.

“In that case, let’s go to the Church of Thundercaller first. I heard that’s the church where the ancient dragon priest Lance was held. Maybe we can see the mother dragon there. But let’s not get the idea of ​​riding on her back. She and Godwin are friends.” Lani suggested, which would be a small way to satisfy her knightly hobby.

After Lani finished speaking, the group headed towards the Church of the Thunder. Although it was already night, the light from the golden tree illuminated the entire Rodel.

Compared to Caria's work-from-sunrise-to-sunset lifestyle, Rodel enjoys a pleasant nightlife.

Even late at night, people were still riding horses and wandering around outside the city. As they got closer to the main road of the royal city, the three even saw vendors still setting up stalls.

These vendors either rode donkeys or set up small tents on the ground, displaying the small items they wanted to sell on the donkeys or on the ground, mostly gemstones, jewelry, homemade arrows, and pottery.

Seeing that the clothing of the Sur, Lani, and Blazer people was completely different from that of the Astan Plateau, they began to enthusiastically hawk their wares. Some of the more observant ones had already taken out their pyroxene artifacts from their bags, hoping to attract the three of them.

However, after several shouts of "The young prince is here!", Suer and his companions were quickly abandoned by the merchants.

Looking at the vast crowd ahead, Suer couldn't see what was happening in the crowd.

"Get out of my way, you lowly people. If I want something, of course I'll buy it. Stop crowding around me."

As a somewhat immature yet arrogant voice rang out, the vendors who had gathered around immediately dispersed and respectfully returned to their stalls.

The happiest among them were the small wine vendors, who knew that as long as the wine satisfied the prince, they would make a small fortune.

After the crowd dispersed, Suer could see the newcomer clearly. He was a young man with long white hair, a handsome face, and dressed in fine clothes. If he were dressed as a woman, Suer would believe he was a girl.

Based on the title of "Prince," Suer had a rough idea of ​​who he was. He turned his head and his eyes met Lani's. After exchanging glances, Suer realized that Lani also knew the boy's identity—Greek.

"Lord Grek, look at my wine! You know, my wine is always the best here," a nearby merchant called out, picking up a jar of wine from his cart.

Sure enough, the somewhat spoiled young man was Greg, Godwin's son.

"Ignore this brat, let's keep going." Lani wasn't interested in what was happening here.

After all, Greg was just an uneducated descendant of the Golden Family. Given Godwin's age, as long as he wasn't sexually frigid or homosexual, there would be plenty of such Golden Families in the future. After all, Godwin didn't need to go on campaigns like his father, and even having a child required him to hurry up.

In the future, none of these descendants of the Golden Age, who are everywhere, can compare to the daughter of the Grand Marshal of the Golden Dynasty in terms of status and position—that is, her, Lani.

Lani had no interest in Grik and led Sue and Blazer straight past him.

However, Greck was drawn to Lani and her group, since he recognized the clothes Lani was wearing; the big man Rataen, whom his father had entertained, was dressed in the same way.

Could it be Princess Lani?

The only divine being in the border region is the most likely candidate to become his father's future wife.

"Wanli! Could this Third Princess be here to see my father? She didn't even greet me. Does she look down on me?" The more Grek thought about it, the more anxious he became. At this moment, even the wine in his hand didn't taste good. He could already imagine how he, the illegitimate son, would be bullied by his stepmother.

Greck immediately turned around and looked back at the direction Lani and the others had gone, and thought to himself that something was wrong.

His father is at the Church of Thunder today; Princess Caria has come prepared!

(Xiao Ge: Oh no! My position as the Crown Prince is in danger!)
