I raise elves in Florian

The northern kingdoms.

Naharit region.

"The weather has gotten quite cold lately."

As Hugh Tarek sensed the temperature, he realized that they had all taken out their winter clothes.

"After all, we've already left the volcanic area."

Frilian said to Shutark, "After all, it's often cold in the northern countries, so there's nothing strange about it."

"We must be close to the pass of the northern plateau now."

Shi Yichen recalled the route from his memory; they shouldn't be far away.

"It's almost there. I estimate we'll see it after walking a little longer."

Frillie nodded in agreement with Shi Yichen's words, since she had arrived eighty years earlier than him and remembered things more clearly.

"Is that the pass to the northern plateau?"

After walking for a while, Philon looked down at the endless, towering city wall. Above the city was a powerful barrier, blocking the demons and monsters that wanted to cross the northern plateau.

"That's right! This is the pass to the northern plateau. Beyond this point lies the realm of demons and monsters."

Frilian said to Philon and Shutark, "Once we cross the northern plateau, danger lurks everywhere, and a single misstep could cost us our lives."

"Once we enter the northern plateau, it will be difficult for us to find a place where we can fully replenish our supplies. Although we have sufficient supplies, just in case, let's buy some more supplies we need here."

After entering the pass of the northern plateau, Frilian told Philon and the others that these supplies could not be entrusted to one person, as all three of them knew how to use magic space.

So the supplies were all kept separately, just in case they got separated and the others still had supplies on them, so there was nothing to worry about.

After purchasing the supplies, the group of four arrived at the gate of the border crossing.

"Please show your Level 1 Mage qualification certificate."

The soldier who was registering spoke to Shi Yichen and his group.

"Give."

Philen had already taken out his Level 1 Mage qualification certificate and handed it to the registering soldier. With this Level 1 Mage qualification certificate, they could pass directly through the checkpoint of the Northern Plateau.

"Lord Philon, First-Class Mage, have a safe journey."

The registered soldier respectfully returned the Level 1 Mage qualification certificate to Philon.

After registering, the soldiers guarding the city opened the gate to the exit, and Shi Yichen and his group easily passed through the blocked northern plateau pass.

"This is the northern plateau!"

Philon looked around and felt that everything was similar to other places, but there were many demonic auras around them, and they were slowly closing in on them.

"It looks no different from outside, so where exactly is the danger?"

Shutark looked around at the surrounding forest. He had always heard people say that the demons were rampant in the northern highlands and that it was very dangerous, but he didn't see any danger at all.

"Mr. Shutark, are you serious?"

Philon looked at Shutark speechlessly. What did he mean by "no danger"? Didn't he even look around?

"what happened?"

Shutark still didn't understand what Philon meant.

"Shutark, please open your eyes and look around."

Shi Yichen covered his eyes and said to Xiutark speechlessly, "Are you really not going to look at the situation around you?"

"what happened?"

Shutark looked at Shi Yichen, puzzled.

"We are surrounded."

Frilian glanced at Hugh Tarek with a look of disgust.

"Focus your attention; this is just the beginning."

As she spoke, Frillie took out her wand.

Philon and Shutark are ready for battle.

"Shhhhhh!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The monsters that appeared at the beginning were not very strong, and Philon and Shutark easily killed them and obtained loot.

Just as Shi Yichen and his group continued their journey toward the northern plateau, a bluebird flew to Shi Yichen's shoulder.

"It's a letter from Celie."

Shi Yichen took out the letter from the back of the bluebird. He knew from the words written on it that it was written by Celia, but he didn't know what she wanted to see him about.

"what happened?"

Frilian came to Shi Yichen's side and asked.

“Seria asked me to go back; she needs me to do something.”

Shi Yichen spoke to Frilian, saying it was about the Peak Empire, but he didn't say what it was about.

"Selie is really something, always asking you for everything. Can't she do it herself?"

Frillie stood up for Shi Yichen, but she knew that Shi Yichen would not refuse Celie's request.

"There was nothing I could do. The teacher was busy with other things, so I had to go instead."

Shi Yichen smiled and rubbed Frilian's little head, saying that of course she wanted to stay by Frilian's side, but since Celia had made the request, she couldn't refuse.

"What are they going to do there?"

Frilian looked at Shi Yichen and asked.

"The letter from Celia didn't specify what the mission was, but I had a rough idea."

Shi Yichen said to Frilian.

"what?"

Frilian looked at Shi Yichen with curiosity.

"Perhaps I'm being sent to the Pinnacle Empire to investigate some matters."

Shi Yichen said to Frilian, but of course this was just her guess; she would have to ask Celia for the specifics of the mission.

"A pinnacle empire! Indeed, an ordinary first-level mage who goes there might not come back."

Frilian looked at Shi Yichen and said that she had also been to the Peak Empire. It was a powerful empire, not only in terms of its apparent strength, but also in terms of the many things it had hidden in secret.

"Then remember to go early and come back early."

Frilian looked at Shi Yichen and said that she didn't want to be separated from Shi Yichen for too long.

"Of course. Once I've completed the task Celia gave me, I'll return to your side immediately."

Shi Yichen smiled and hugged Frilian, gently kissing her forehead.

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Frillie nodded in Shi Yichen's arms and said.

"Well, I'm leaving."

After saying that, Shi Yichen disappeared from the spot.

"Lady Frilian, where is Lord Shi Yichen?"

At this moment, Philen came to Florian's side, but she did not see Shi Yichen.

"Yichen has something to do and asked us to go ahead. She will come to find us when she is done."

As Frilian walked forward, she said to Philon, "They should leave the forest as soon as possible; there are too many monsters here."

Celia's Palace.

Celia was sitting on the bed reading a magic book when a figure appeared behind her. The figure reached out and gently pulled Celia, who was reading, into its arms.
