Soon, news of spies in the city was reported to the kingdom's high command, and the entire city was immediately placed under martial law. The Tiefling Guards was urgently mobilized, appearing at all the city's major thoroughfares, Wyvern patrolled the skies, searching for suspicious individuals.

Several more spellcasters were dispatched to various districts to use Divination Spell to search for the intruders.

Lang Pu was very interested in this uninvited guest, after all, according to "Nocturne"'s description, the other party was a rather powerful spellcaster, capable of casting at least fourth-circle level spells.

In a corner of the South District of North Wind Fortress, the Hobgoblin Line soldiers patrolled past, but they did not notice the phantom image in front of them, rather than the normal landscape.

Behind that real phantom, Olivia was using magic to treat her wounds and calm the dark, poisonous Poison Mist.

Polymorph is a sophisticated spell that works from the inside out, and a dragon is often at its most vulnerable when it takes human form. Many Silver Dragon in history have been ambushed and killed while maintaining their human form, and Olivia does not want to be one of them.

Olivia watched the patrols coming and going with bated breath.

The roar of Wyvern echoed from the distant sky; if this continued, her location would be exposed.

"We have to leave this city."

"If this continues, it might attract that Red Dragon."

Olivia's blue-gray pupils shone, allowing her to see the entire surrounding area and make the most rational choice.

"That annoying Magic Restriction Domain."

She casually complained.

After a long process of constructing the spell model, Olivia finally activated the Greater Invisibility spell, becoming completely transparent once again.

However, just as she Invisibility and passed through the gate, preparing to leave the city, the magic detection alarm at the gate suddenly sounded, and runes flashed continuously.

The spellcaster assigned to guard the south gate immediately shouted, "Surround this area! Enemies are casting spells!"

The Hobgoblin Soldiers surrounded the intersection, making it completely impassable, while the mage cast a detection spell, revealing Olivia was in stealth mode.

Damn it!

Olivia immediately gritted her teeth.

She had to admit that the security here was far too tight, catching even her off guard.

The Hobgoblin Soldiers found their target and immediately opened fire in unison, dozens of bullets flying towards them. Meanwhile, the Wyvern in mid-air roared and swooped down, trying to claim credit for capturing the intruders.

The situation has become chaotic.

"Roar--"

Olivia let out a roar that seemed out of place with her size.

Finally, her entire body was filled with shimmering magical light, and her body, shrouded in a long robe, suddenly swelled up, billowing white smoke filling the air.

Silver, metallic scales, two smooth, shiny horns, and a ruffled edge that stands high on its head and extends down to its neck and then to the tip of its tail.

When the smoke cleared, the slender girl disappeared, replaced by a real Silver Dragon, second only to the Golden Dragon dragon among Metallic Dragon.

Without hesitation, the Silver Dragon flapped its wings, creating a hurricane, and rose into the sky.

"Ah!"

What is that?

"It's a dragon! It's a dragon!"

"What a strong wind!"

The Hobgoblin below were tossed about by the hurricane, forced to fire their guns futilely into the air. The swooping Wyvern, too, were thrown into disarray, flying haphazardly through the air.

Olivia was able to spread her wings and leave the city that she felt was full of danger.

On the city wall, Lang Pu looked up at the sky, gazing at the silver figure in the distance.

"A Silver Dragon?"

"It seems somewhat familiar."

Lang Pu rubbed his chin, seemingly deep in thought.

"Boom!"

Dust was flying everywhere on the ground.

Olivia crashed down and transformed back into human form.

Within the territory of the Embers of the Burned Kingdom, the Silver Dragon's form was still too conspicuous; she would not transform into her true form to escape unless absolutely necessary.

"They actually found out."

Olivia frowned; she never imagined the city would be so troublesome.

She took off her hood, revealing her delicate face.

Looking at North Wind Fortress, several miles away, Olivia gripped her staff tightly, her blue-gray eyes revealing a solemn expression.

"The Embers of the Burned Kingdom, what kind of country is it exactly?"

"Even the simple and honest farmers will be bound to their chariots, becoming accomplices of the evil dragon, and may even consciously protect him."

"It's unbelievable."

Olivia couldn't help but exclaim.

Just then, a golden light in the distance interrupted her thoughts. A golden illusion appeared in the sky, a fireball like the sun, which only dragons could perceive.

"This is..."

Olivia's eyes widened at first, then her face lit up with immense joy, and she almost jumped for joy.

"It's the signal Anher agreed to!"

"Perhaps he is still alive!"

Over the years, Olivia often thought of what Golden Dragon had once said to her, and those instructions even became a heavy burden on her heart.

This familiar signal undoubtedly gave her a glimmer of hope; perhaps this member of her clan... was still alive.

But when she looked at the source of the signal, Olivia's expression suddenly froze.

That's the Iron Dragon Wing Palace.

The abode of the "Embers of the Burned King" is also the most terrifying demon cave in legend, where it is said that no one has ever come out alive.

But why would the Golden Dragon's message appear there? Was his slumber just an excuse, and was the Red Dragon already severely injured, ready to be killed? Or perhaps he had discovered a way to bind the Red Dragon and save the entire the North?

But all of this is just Olivia's speculation, and if any problem arises that awakens the Red Dragon, she will be in dire straits.

Silver Dragon and Red Dragon are natural enemies.

The battles between these two species are fierce and deadly, but Silver Dragon generally have the upper hand, usually because they have allies to fight off the enemy together.

This time, she may be fighting alone.

Olivia stood still, head slightly bowed, her slender hand gripping her staff tightly, her expression showing hesitation.

Anher's glorious image before he left seemed to reappear before her, and his powerful voice echoed in her ears once more.

"I will bring true justice and order to the whole of Anzeta, and even to the whole of Erezege. This has always been my goal, even at the cost of my life."

"... Olivia, I will leave a message here, telling you the information I obtained about the Red Dragon at the cost of my life."

She seemed to have made up her mind, muttering to herself.

"I promised you I would do all of this."

"I am not fighting alone."

Finally, Olivia raised her head, and a resolute light shone in her beautiful blue-gray eyes, just like when she solemnly bid farewell to the Golden Dragon.
