Fire Leaving Realm, Fire Dragon Marrow, Royal Treasury

This was also one of Ronan's purposes in leaving the Destiny Empire.

He has mastered the magic of the Golden Fire to a certain extent, and it is time for him to receive the next stage of inheritance from the Golden Country.

Of course, this matter is not urgent at the moment; we will make plans after he and Serena have settled down in the Life Royal Court.

The Prophet Eve did not give Ronan any specific instructions. Apart from giving Ronan the grand title of "Golden Dawn" and involving him in the struggle for the crown prince position in the Life Royal Court, everything else was left to Ronan's own will.

The wizards like A Ni, Pendulum of Fate, will always obey his commands unconditionally.

"Prophet Eve foresee that Serena would be the new Alba King?"

Through the Dawn Mask, Ronan looked down and could vaguely see Serena sitting in a royal carriage carried by Four-Legged Flying Dragon.

"The Princess, born out of wedlock, was the weakest and least favored by everyone at the start, yet she ended up becoming the biggest winner of this game."

Ronan muttered to himself thoughtfully, "This kind of plot development is quite reasonable."

Ronan neither disliked nor liked Serena; perhaps he had disliked her in the past.

He still remembers Serena's haughty and arrogant attitude when they first met.

But he also remembered the final shot Serena fired with all her might to help him escape during the Talent Competition for the Helamus Wizards.

The two issues are barely evened out.

Ronan is not interested in the Alba Royal Family ultimately going to him, but he can offer Serena some assistance, provided Serena meets his demands.

As for what happens next, that's up to Serena herself.

Ronan sat down on the Golden Throne, examining his current "outfit".

The Prophet Eve went to great lengths to promote her "Golden Dawn." The robes she wore, the mask on her face, and even the boots on her feet were all genuine Dawn Rank magical artifacts.

In addition to providing considerable magical defense, it can also block all detection by mental and Soul Power, combining both decorative and practical functions.

The "Molten Embrace" glove on her left hand is also Dawn Rank magic item. The metal material of the glove itself, as well as the seven fire-type crystals inlaid on the glove, can provide a great power amplification to both Metal Element and fire-type spells.

Even the gloves themselves are incredibly tough, making them very suitable for close-quarters combat.

This set of equipment, along with the Crown of Deep Knowledge he wore on his head, completely elevated the "Golden Dawn's" prestige, exuding an aura of mystery and nobility.

Ronan sensed that Fomingge's location was constantly moving, but it never left the territory of the Life Empire, so he ignored it for the time being, took out the metal plate with the clue of "Golin's Hammer" in his hand, and casually pieced it together.

After more than three years, the puzzle on this metal plate is almost complete, with only a few final steps remaining.

Ronan estimated that it should be completely completed within the next few days.

After crossing the Wind Plain, the group continued flying south towards the Life Empire.

The Ancient Thunder Eagle "mount" that the Prophet Eve provided for Ronan was known for its speed, but because it had to accommodate the speed of Serena's group, the entire journey still took a full five days.

Five days later, on a slightly gloomy afternoon, a soft "ding" sounded.

The last glowing fragment on the black metal plate in Ronan's hand returned to its original position, and the entire metal plate trembled violently. Under the intense fluctuations of runes, the metal plate began to return to its original appearance.

The black surface quickly faded, revealing a magnificent golden hue underneath.

Ronan looked at the surface of the gold metal plate, where countless floating fragments had been, and now a detailed map was gradually emerging.

At the top of the map, there are also several words marked with ancient dwarf characters.

Ronan read it out word by word—"The Fire Leaving Realm".

"So this is where it is."

In my mind, Alazan's low sigh echoed.

Ronan's expression shifted slightly. "You know this place?"

Alazan slowly said, "A natural gathering place of Fire Element energy, once occupied by a group of Elemental Lifeform. Later, a powerful wizard intervened, enslaving and annihilating all the Elemental Lifeform, and then transformed it into his private experimental field, specifically used to raise Ancient Fire Demon and fire-type dragons as pets."

Ronan's eyes flashed, and he said, "Now, the Fire Leaving Realm shouldn't be exclusive to that powerful wizard anymore, right?"

"Certainly."

Alazan. "The wizard had already perished before I became a spirit, and this place wasn't called 'The Fire Leaving Realm' back then."

Damien.

Alazan suddenly called out Ronan's name, carefully choosing his tone.

"If you go to this place, remember to collect a portion of Fire Dragon Marrow for me."

This is one of the ways I'm fulfilling my promise to you.

"Fire Dragon Marrow?!"

Ronan paused slightly, then subconsciously asked, "Is it the kind of Fire Dragon Marrow I was thinking of?"

"Yes. But I don't intend for you to actually hunt a legendary fire dragon."

Alazan paused for a moment, then said, "I know the location of that wizard's former laboratory. If we're lucky, it shouldn't be difficult to find it."

Ronan nodded, took another careful look at the gold plate in his hand, and then slowly put it away.

At this moment, the Thunder Eagle beneath him shuddered and abruptly stopped.

Ronan stood up from his seat and looked down, only to find that they were hovering above a city.

Of course, it's very far from the ground.

Led by Serena, the Life Royal Court's group slowly approached the top, and Ronan received the consciousness fluctuations of the Ancient Thunder Eagle Eris.

"Call me if anything happens, brother."

Eris looked back at Ronan with eyes as golden as the setting sun, and a blackish-purple feather fell from her neck and flew towards Ronan on its own.

Ronan raised his hand to catch it, and the latter let out a thunderous roar. Its massive body suddenly transformed into a streak of lightning, rapidly shooting from Ronan's feet to the top of his head.

As a being comparable to Level Six Wizard, Eris does not obey any of Ronan's combat commands. The only thing it can provide for Ronan, besides serving as the "Golden Dawn's" mount, is to take him away quickly when Ronan is in danger.

This is probably what the Prophet Eve asked of it.

Ronan suppressed the Storm Lord Bloodline within him, which had been slightly agitated by Eris, and looked up to see that Serena and her group had already arrived.

"Your Majesty."

Serena bowed to him with neither arrogance nor servility, her noble and aloof face revealing little emotion.

"We've arrived."

Ronan nodded, and then, under the protection of A Ni and the Pendulum of Fate wizards, he slowly descended into the city below with Serena and the others.

When viewed from above the back of the Thunder Eagle, the city called "Glow Mist City" looked only the size of a building block; only upon closer inspection did one realize that the city was actually quite large.

The vast city, built in the unique aesthetic style of the Life Empire, is a gray and white color scheme, dotted with greenery. It is surrounded by high walls engraved with Rune Array, and the walls are guarded by imperial soldiers dressed as wizards and knights, presenting an orderly appearance.

Ronan scanned the city with his mental energy and found no Level Six Wizard. The city had a population of several hundred thousand, of which more than 99% were commoners.

The three great Wizard Empire of the Central Continent are all structured around two "pyramids".

One is a pyramid at the wizard level, which also represents the extraordinary power that actually controls the empire.

The other consists of kingdoms of ordinary people, which form the foundation for the continuous production of imperial wizards.

After the sudden fall of Alba King, the current situation of the entire Life Empire is roughly that of several royal family members "dividing the country" under the barely maintained rule of the "Holy Grail Council".

The "Holy Grail Council" is an important force in Alba King's governance of the empire, and its members are all Level Six Wizard.

However, the Holy Grail Council is also currently experiencing internal turmoil, so it cannot prevent the current chaotic situation from arising.

The "Glow Mist City" is Serena's foundation and her capital for participating in the competition for the throne. Ronan doesn't know if Serena has other forces under her command, but even if she does, they must be pitifully few compared to the other Alba family heirs.

Ronan's arrival caused a sensation in the "Glow Mist City," with a large number of wizards and commoners coming out to watch and welcome him.

It was clear that Serena had put a lot of effort into this place. She had a very high reputation in the "Glow Mist City." What surprised Ronan was that even commoners would nod to Serena.

Unlike many wizards who treat mortals like insects and weeds, this is a rare and commendable quality.

Perhaps it was because of Serena's attitude that the wizards and mortals in the "Glow Mist City" got along quite harmoniously, which was a rather unique sight.

"For the time being, Your Majesty will have to stay here temporarily."

Serena led Ronan toward a massive complex of buildings in the very center of the Glow Mist City, which was probably Serena's private palace. The two stood side by side on Four-Legged Flying Dragon.

"If Your Majesty does not like it, I can send people to build a temporary palace for you outside the city."

"That's fine then."

Ronan made a deliberately created metallic resonance in his voice, politely declining Serena's offer.

The Four-Legged Flying Dragon gently landed on a grassy area within the vast complex. A Ni and the others were being taken care of by other wizards from the Life Royal Court, leaving only Ronan and Serena.

The two dismounted from the Four-Legged Flying Dragon and strolled slowly along the lush, meticulously manicured grass toward a palace with a beautiful golden spire not far away.

"Your Majesty..."

"Just call me Misha, it sounds better."

Ronan casually interrupted Serena.

Serena paused slightly, then nodded and asked again, "Misha... does she have a grudge against Fomingge?"

Why do you ask that?

Ronan's eyes flickered slightly as he turned to look at Serena.

Serena looked into his eyes, as if trying to find something in them that would help her understand Ronan better.

"Because you really wanted to kill him before."

Serena said, word by word, "From the very first moment you saw him."

The atmosphere became somewhat Stasis, and the two stopped and stared at each other in silence.

Even when she needed something from someone, Serena still maintained the same aggressive demeanor as before.

It has to be said that no matter how beautiful this woman is, it's hard for anyone to like her.

"Your observation is very keen."

Beneath the Dawn Mask, Ronan's eyes were as calm and deep as a deep blue lake.

Serena was tall, but even standing in front of Ronan, she was still a full head shorter Ronan was almost looking down at her.

"As for the reasons, I've already stated them."

Ronan looked into Serena's lake-green eyes and said calmly, "I hate the way he looks at me, just like the way you look at me now makes me feel uncomfortable."

Serena froze, instinctively avoiding Ronan's gaze, revealing a hint of unexpected panic.

A slight smile played on Ronan's lips beneath his mask as he uttered a single sentence and continued walking forward.

"But you are different from him. Even if I hate Your Princess, I will try my best to restrain myself from attacking you."

His calm words were filled with a condescending indifference. Serena's expression changed as she watched Ronan's composed back. Finally, she gritted her teeth and hurried after him.

Clearly, Serena's attitude became much more "docile" this time.

Ronan noticed that Serena was deliberately lagging behind him by half a step, and couldn't help but think to himself that an arrogant, domineering, capricious, and overbearing persona can sometimes be quite useful, saving countless unnecessary words.

After the initial "warning," Ronan naturally took control of the conversation between the two.

"You should know why I'm here."

He seemed to be the true owner of this courtyard lawn, strolling along while casually asking Serena questions beside him.

"Clear."

Serena was well aware that she was being suppressed in terms of presence, but she had no choice but to honestly reply, "But I don't know what Misha needs?"

What do you have on hand right now?

"The only thing I can offer you that will satisfy you is the treasures in the Royal Treasury."

Serena said in a deep voice, "The Alba Family's Royal Treasury has more than a hundred treasuries in total. Some of them are controlled by the elders of the Holy Grail Council, while others are divided among the members of the royal family."

I only have five left right now.

"List".

Ronan's eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly changed his mind, "Never mind, I'll give you a list instead."

"As for the rest, I'll discuss it after I personally examine the treasure vault."

Serena bit her lip lightly, her expression shifting between light and dark, but she finally nodded in agreement, "Okay."

"When will you be available, Misha? I will take you to the treasure vault."

Ronan was quite satisfied with Serena's performance and continued walking forward, where the outlines of some flower bushes and fruit trees began to appear.

"Now, tell me about your troubles."

Ronan strolled toward the fruit trees in the garden and casually remarked to Serena.
