Now, the Water Element has submerged near the coast, waiting for the airship to depart.

After all, the Prince is injured. Shouldn't he be taken back for treatment immediately?

As expected, the airship's light lingered on the sea's surface for a while, then ascended, drifted away, and disappeared into the darkness.

Chun and Song heaved a sigh of relief, yet still felt uneasy: "Mei, we can't rule out the other side air-dropping some secret surveillance devices in the sea, let's relocate along the ice coast."

Mei agreed: "Makes sense! Actually, the Water Element's core is also exhausted, let's rest a bit and see."

Thus, the rotation of the core space began to slow down, stopped, and Hydrahis's fish soul appeared, no longer golden, returning to its previous icy blue, and with a soft splash collapsed in the center of the pool within the space and fell asleep.

Then looking around the ice crystal space, it was all dilapidated and dim, with not a hint of gold.

Mei sighed: "Looks like this battle has cost us significantly, should I transfer some Divine Power to replenish it?"

Chun exclaimed: "No! We're near the Divine Forbidden Area, there might be enemy devices watching, let's not transmit any Divine Power."

Mei also drowsily said: "Actually, I'm tired too, let me sleep first, just watch over things."

Chun's heart ached: "Alright, Mei, rest well. I'm here."

Just as he finished, Mei also lay down in the pool, using the fish as a pillow, fell asleep.

Oh, Chun suddenly realized there was an unconscious Naga soul! This is, a Necromancer, right? How to handle it?

And there's a Naga corpse, not sure what to do with it—wait a minute! The key to defeating the Naga was Mei using the Magic Mirror to deflect the Prince's attack back, and then the Magic Mirror burned red hot!

Chun immediately took out a small mirror to contact Aileen: "Aileen!"

Aileen's voice was not loud, but very clear: "Dear, are you safe?"

Seems alright? Chun was much relieved: "Safe now, there was a beam of light—"

Aileen immediately got excited: "Not too bad, although it damaged quite a bit of my Shadow Demon power, but it also scattered this Mirror Demon's energy, making it especially easy for me to absorb now, and I'm about to comprehend a Magic Mirror Transmission skill, I was just about to tell you the good news!"

Chun was amazed: "Magic Mirror Transmission?"

Aileen excitedly said: "Remember the first time you came to my room, how you got that box of hallucinogenic drugs?"

Chun's heart skipped a beat: "A Spatial Gate appeared in the mirror on your wall, and it was transmitted over!"

Aileen enthusiastically continued: "That's why, I feel I'm about to comprehend it! Previously it transmitted just shadow energy, this time it's directly transmitting matter."

Chun was shocked: "Isn't that a bit exaggerated? Although the mirrors in the Count's Mansion can transmit matter, they're all in the same city, close in distance. Can we transmit from so far apart?"

Aileen laughed: "Let's learn it first and then try all kinds of things, anyway, I'm focusing on absorbing it now."

Chun chuckled: "Yes, yes, learn it first!"

Aileen noticed something: "Dear, you're hurt!"

Chun laughed: "I was likely scratched by the Naga soul, but it's nothing."

Aileen shouted: "Mina, the master is tired, take good care of him!"

Mina burst into a smile: "Alright, rest assured, mistress!"

Then she directly threw herself over: "Master, Mina's tired too, let's have a Healing of Love together!"

Ah...

Even so, Chun still wanted to maintain some restraint: "I still have to look after the Water Element!"

Mina had already dissolved into a mosaic pattern: "Master, rest assured and just relax, I'll take good care of it!"

—System Prompt: FBI Warning...

Alright then. Honestly, I only slept for 4 hours last night, feeling it's not enough, so I should try to catch some sleep. This near the Ice Sea coast, with the Water Element's strength, hopefully, there won't be sudden dangers...

...

Golden Continent time, 11 PM, Ten Lords Chat Group.

Sela showed evident fatigue: "I haven't rested well, won't accompany these brutes anymore, butler remember to call me by 6 AM, need to meet at the dock."

Butler: "Please rest well, madam, good night!"

Sela sighed: "Everyone, try to rest early as well."

Uriel lamented: "For me, the big warm-up for Earth Flame Village's ore transport is just beginning."

Sariel sighed: "I'm still in the southern jungle with my dear one, she's too hyperactive."

Michael laughed: "Alright, I'll rest after finishing my current tasks."

Before sleeping, Michael habitually checked the Starlight Tavern's operations. Although it's not Libnahi's shift, this could be a chance to compare her with other Head Maids.

And then he was shocked to find a shining, eye-catching SSS+ level imperial warrant on the tavern's notice board—wanted the Water Elemental Lord Hydrahis. Location: Arctic Circle of the Gem Continent...

Michael was stunned, Water Elemental Lord? The key is the location...

Michael immediately contacted Raphael: "Raphael, has your Gem City received the imperial warrant?"

Raphael: "Let me check…"

Metatron and Gabriel replied: "Our city received it!"

Raphael also confirmed: "Got it! My Gem City is investigating the Crow and Magic Mirror, and now this arises, it's too suspicious!"

Sariel didn't hesitate: "Is it Chun, the fly?"

Metatron and Raphael were speechless: "Sariel…"

Sariel laughed: "I know, I know, it's the curry duo, right!"

Michael suddenly noticed the tavern lacked any noise, and a "Reserved" sign was hanging at the entrance! What's more...

He quickly went inside, finding the tavern empty, only at the bar sat someone wearing… patient attire? No, this is specifically the royal family's patient attire!

The Head Maid greeted: "Sage Sir, Fourth Prince His Highness is here, and has reserved the entire tavern."

Michael was taken aback, Fourth Prince!?

The Fourth Prince casually waved: "Ma'am, you may leave too."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Fourth Prince sighed without looking back: "Sage Sir, I've long admired you, let's have a drink."

Michael felt a sinking, uneasy feeling. This Fourth Prince, plus four more Princes weren't part of the initial game developers' setup, but autogenerate by the game's intelligent system, forcefully following world logic to become NPCs specifically marked to play out cliché prince and princess dramas involving the City Beauties.

The Five City Beauties are essentially a research project, these Princes are like associated "intervention NPCs", purposely sent to disrupt research.

Michael still respectfully approached: "Your Highness visiting my humble establishment is an honor—"

The Fourth Prince, looking despondent, waved dismissively: "Did you see the imperial warrant at the door? Actually, it's related to me, the one who injured me is her. I vehemently oppose the warrant but can't stop the Forbidden Army from proceeding with regulations."

Michael, albeit confused, was even more bewildered: "Her? A female?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The Fourth Prince seemed puzzled: "Yes, I'm sure it was a female Water Element, her allure was irresistible…"
