Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Within the depths of the great snow mountain, the sun was hard to come by. The sunlight shone upon the snowfield, bringing out the vast expanse of white even further, dazzling the eyes.

Childhood is one’s most treasured memories, and the duty of children is just to play well and grow well. From the games, they develop living abilities for the future. This is the instinct of life, and also an inevitable path to be taken by the young of all races.

At that moment, on the snowfield, the children of the Land of Snow were chasing around and playing together.

“Hey, Little Snow. Don’t run.”

“Only a fool won’t run, come and chase me quickly!”

“Don’t run, I can’t move anymore…”

“Wahaha, Little Rollie has no stamina, his legs are short and runs like a tortoise, loser, loser.”

Apparently, this group of naive and lively children were playing hide and seek, while the seeker could already move no more.

Yet those children who were still energetic, was running around him. Just when he put his last effort together to start chasing, they suddenly scattered and fled in a blink.

No wonder he could not catch up with them. Although they were still children, can his stamina compete with the child of snowmen, the foal of an ice unicorns? Moreover, the young of a snow dragon and snow phoenix could fly!

Watching the little friends running further and further away, the child who was the seeker started to laugh. He had chased them for the whole morning, and at that moment he was exhausted and hungry.

“Hahahaha, this is fun, my tears are coming out already….. Continue to run, naughty brats, the seeker is coming to catch you guys. Eternal glacier bringing eternal destruction, the eternal darkness has descended, finally, the Ice Aeon will arrive…”

The destructive spell brought a dreadful magic wave, a blizzard formed in time, Laughing hysterically, the seeker started the preparation of a forbidden spell to destroy everything, although the target was just a bunch of naughty brats who were impossible to catch up with.

“Hehehe, there are two types of naughty brats, one tends to move around and one doesn’t, the latter one is the good kid. Soon, all the brats will no longer be able to move, this is great…”

“Personality Correction Kick!”

Following by a sudden struck of a huge fist of ice crystals, the forbidden spell Ice Aeon was interrupted by a sudden flying lion head. But the seeker who was sent flying away still manage to leave his last comment.

“What kick? This is your fist! You called your four paws legs? Do you eat with legs?”

Ok, I admit. This unlucky guy who was forced to be the seeker was me, and for these three days, I am doing the things I hated most in my life – Playing with naughty brats!

“As a grown up, but can’t even compromise with children, and you dare to tell me you are going to inherit Raven Date’s will, how many days only have passed? It seems like the descendants of Mist Kingdom are becoming more and more useless.”

“I… I can’t stand this anymore! I have played with those naughty brats for two days, I’m going nuts soon, finding inner peace you say? My heart is about to explode! Are you sure this is really useful to me, I am just getting more anxious.”

It was a mistake from the beginning, to listen to the lion head’s nonsense, playing with children with a smile can help in finding inner peace you say? Maybe it worked for others. But to me, this was simply suffering in a purgatory, it made me sick.

“… Already three days? Oh, then let’s go to the next stage.”

The lion shook his head, then he made a new decision.

“Hellcoming… are you sure that you are not fooling me around? Why do I feel like this is just something random.”

Despite the giant size, this ice crystal lion had a rather eastern name, this peculiar naming sense seemed to be the hobby of the first generation King of Mist.

“Hmm, actually playing with children for meditation purposes was just a prank. The actual target was to expose you to the scent of the young ice beasts, which was already achieved yesterday.”

Great. By hearing the word “prank”, I started to lose my temper.

“Then why didn’t you tell me! You know how hard was it, to pretend to love building snowman, have snowball fights, and hide and seek, especially with these naughty brats who were so unreasonable, purposely going for the dangerous games, simply not listening, and treating me as their little friend… I can’t stop thinking of throwing all these naughty brats into the cannon and firing them!

“Ah. Everyone thought that you were playing happily with them. After all, you are a lot younger than they are, their parents were very happy to see a foreign playmate, and seeing that you guys were enjoying, therefore we decided to let them play for an extra day with you……What are you drawing your sword for? And why are you chanting the spell for?”

And at this moment, my mind was only echoing with “enjoying, therefore we decided to let them play for an extra day with you.”

“As expected all naughty brats have parents without common courtesy, if so, let all of you turn into dust, oh eternity glacier, listen to my rage…”

“Haah! Passed on by the King of Mist, Personality Correction Punch Specially For Abnormal People!”

“Arghhh!”

Reinforcements? No doubt, this was totally out of Elisa’s expectations.

The news of the defeat just spread, and San Antonio’s reinforcements were still thousands of miles away. As the main force of the five northmost kingdoms were already gathered here, the second wave of mass mobilization will not appear in a short period of time, not to say any reinforcements.

“The lords are awaiting for your arrival, they hope that you can join the reinforcement welcoming ceremony.”

Elisa was shocked upon hearing that, as the East Mist was not really in a good situation in the alliance, clearly they were in a marginalized situation, and also, the arrogant generals of big countries, would never be concerned for her and the Mist Kingdom.

“…The fellow generals are waiting for you. This is allegedly the request of the reinforcements, as they refused to enter the city before meeting the deputy of East Mist..”

Afterwards, tons of news reached her ears, and from there she started to understand what was really going on.

In that defeat, rumours had it that San Antonio’s commanding general was severely wounded, and the command was taken over by “Black Bear” Ainro who was also a San Antonian.

Despite having lost half their forces, San Antonian was still the largest force in the alliance, and East Mist was further marginalized instead.

And now the new reinforcements clearly would not listen to them, and only took command from East Mist, and pained the alliance generals from the bottom of their hearts. But as others had sent them reinforcements, they did not have any reason to refuse.

At least they could not reveal the alliance’s poor collaboration, therefore they would have to pretend, and assigned Elisa as the representative of East Mist.

“Where did the reinforcements came from? The East Mist Kingdom is already having a hard time dealing with the monster waves, seeing that these reinforcements behave obediently in front of me, could it be…”

The gaze of disbelief turned towards the two in the room, in a sense, these two were the super boss. Of course, from their smirks, one would never know how honourable they were.

“Not me, my accompanying army and the dragon guards are still waiting in the passageway, without my command they will never come out.

Great. Accompanying army? Dragon guards? In a sense, Annie was doing a lot better than her adopted father.

With the support of dragon queen Xiao Hong, in a sense, she was also a dragon princess, plus the retreat of devil forces in the underworld, Annie and the Liu Huang Mountain City became the symbol of human forces that reigned the underworld. Seemingly, Annie was getting increasingly better in being an Empress.

Elisa turned to the other, a centauress who was a kitchen destroyer and a lightning rod of misfortune, who a while ago showed a smirk on her face. Currently, she was the leader of underworld beastmen, one of the four underworld Autarchs. At least for now, she was on the same table with Annie.

“My ranger army and tribal warriors are also resting at the passageway. Together with Annie, I will be secured, and I don’t want to cause any trouble, especially bringing an army that would limit my freedom.”

Well, she seemed to be honest, and she also brought her own army. Speaking of how her freedom would be limited, however, it probably meant that she would be severely restricted, trying to move about while being accompanied by an army.

” You two…”

For a while, Elisa’s tongue was tied. What could she say, the two of them had now become the reputed Underworld Autarchs, it would seem awkward if they came to earth without the escort of a few armies.

“You’re not afraid of causing big trouble? An Underworld alliance appearing on the outside world, moreover in the war zone. If this goes by the conspiracy theory, you can write a few legendary novels. Like “The Dark Conspiracy of Underworld Autarch and Beastmen”, “Two Spies in the Sacred War – The Double Agent Dark Elves”. Well, if Roland was here, he would have commented something like that.”

“… We never expect to see a war, that’s why we left everyone in the passageway. With this chaotic situation, I wonder if they will be fine.”

“Don’t worry, as long as they don’t come out from the underground passageway, nobody will go there. It’s close to the royal tomb of the elves, even the superior elves are unable to get near to it. But actually, it was also a secret tunnel controlled by the royal family, and that is why I lingered there to hide from my people.”

With Suana’s explanation, everyone on spot felt relieved. But after that, a new problem came, if the reinforcements were not from the underworld alliance, then who would it be?

“There were two groups of reinforcements which happened to come across each other and ended up travelling together. One of the group is the alliance of Sharal Autonomous Region and the barbarian tribe, they are here to support Lord Roland.”

Elisa nodded when she heard that, Roland did mention the secret contract between the three places, but never had high hopes on them on sending support. After all, the covenant was still in the testing stages, with a lot of uncertainties, and moreover, Sharal itself had its own problems too.

“The second wave of reinforcements is here to support Lady Reyne, they are Aulander. It is said to be sent out by King Darsos, to thank Lord Roland on fulfilling the “Key” agreement on time.

“Pfft.” Listening to that, Elisa smiled, while Annie laughed straight away.

There were things that cannot be hidden from the resourceful Annie even if not being told by Ronald, but for Annie who was always in the underworld to know, it would seem to be odd.

“Father mentioned to me before, was it that weird eyed Emperor who take a fancy to Uncle Bone? Seems like he is quite faithful towards Uncle Bone. But it is understandable, as Uncle Bone looked very cute when he was alive, when he was young he looked really like a cute girl, I wanted to give him a hug.”

When she heard the sign that Adam was indeed Roland’s number one bad friend, and that both of them never did anything good, Elisa burst into laughter.

“Annie, don’t mention this in front of Roland, or else he will cry in front of you.”

————–

“If you force me any further, I will really cry in front of you!”

“Hatch an egg? Are you crazy or am I crazy, I may look like this, but you can only complain it to my mom, I’m actually a male… No, I’m a guy! Look, look at this! I am a guy, how can I hatch an egg.”

My roar was echoing within the cave, travelling far away, the reason? The lion in front of me suggested a new training plan.

“Hatching it is your second step of training. And because of this purpose, I exposed you to the young scent of the ice beasts.”

That was a black ice crystal, from that mild chilliness and the magical engravings, it should be a frigid nightmare’s egg. But, wasn’t the frigid nightmare’s egg supposed to be white in colour?

“This is a death egg, all this time it never successfully hatched, theoretically, it should have been dead, but looking at the magic engravings and ice crystals, you will know that it’s still alive.”

“Isn’t this one of you? Can’t you just hatch it by yourselves?”

“Three hundred and seventy years ago, it did nearly hatched once, but after that, no matter what we did, it won’t even budge.”

I was stunned when I heard this, at this point in time, it made me think of something bad.

“Twins are the most miraculous existence on this world, they are classified into many types, and one of them is the rarest, but is the true twins amongst twins. The wavelength of their souls are the same, it is like they were originally the same person, just that it is a soul that has been torn into two…”

“Enough!” I started to roar, but then stopped, what was I angry at, what caused the bottom of my heart to be in such panic?

But the lion head seemed to hear nothing, he just continued explaining on.

“The gemini of misfortune? It should be the gemini of luck, there is always a special linkage between them, moreover, they are the best corresponding partners. Oh yeah, by the way, this egg is also Erebella’s brother, or sister, who knows. And it was also sent here by a descendant of the Mist, and I don’t need to mention his name.”

At this moment, if there was a mirror, I was afraid of how pale my face would have been.

“I have finished what I have to say, the rest is up to you.”
