As they parted, Velin solemnly bowed to the Wind Fairy Tayana and said, "Lady Tayana, I look forward to our next meeting."
Seeing this, Kyle and Xuemiyya also thanked the Wind Fairy Tayana for her guidance and companionship along the way.
"As the king's attendant, it was my duty." The Wind Fairy Tayana smiled and replied gently, "I hope we can meet again in the near future."
After bidding her farewell, Velin opened the Demiplane passage, allowing the Dream Fairy Mina and Cecilia to return to the Demiplane before stepping into the passage leading back to the real world.
Velin's figure silently appeared before an unremarkable tavern.
A few minutes later, Kyle and Xuemiyya appeared behind Velin.
Inside the Mage Tower, Tadius sensed Velin's presence. He stopped meditating, rose to his feet, picked up his staff, and left from the top of the Mage Tower.
After making a few inquiries on the street, they confirmed the current date.
From the time they entered the Realm Above the Clouds until they returned to the real world, exactly one month had passed.
"Now that we're back, let's first..."
Before he could finish, Velin saw Tadius descending from the sky.
The passing adventurers and merchants nearby hurriedly stepped aside and bowed to show their respect for Tadius.
"Velin, you really are full of surprises!"
As he spoke, a Magic Array rose and teleported the four of them back to the seventh floor of the Mage Tower.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Velin relaxed and replied with a smile, "Lord Tadius, when we were sent to the Realm Above the Clouds to meet the King of the Wind Fairies, I was confused too. I hadn't prepared at all."
"Hahaha, I was merely making an observation." At this point, Tadius changed the subject.
