Great Nobleman.

Chapter 1996 That man's brutality is beyond your imagination!
The next morning.

In the headquarters of the Dead Night Merchant Guild in a small town near Emerald City.

Evelyn, who had dressed up especially for the occasion, said somewhat awkwardly:

"Vina! Why didn't you say so earlier that your boss is a [Abyss-level] big shot?"
Also, is it real or fake?
Is he truly an "Abyss-level" being?

Virianna shook her head and said:
"Otherwise, why would I have said before that my boss is capable of helping you?"

"It's just that you, you idiot, haven't realized it yet."

Evelyn said helplessly:

"Aren't you just a high-ranking necromancer?"
I've also asked around about the Tower of the Dead.

You are only somewhat well-known in the Eastern Alliance of the Eternal Night Kingdom!

How was I supposed to know you had this kind of channel?
Are you sure he doesn't intend to capture me and turn me into a ghost dragon?

Virianna shook her head and said:
"Don't worry, we're already close allies, aren't we?"
Moreover, my boss is not a powerful undead professional from the Rios continent.

"Now that you've inquired about my [Tower of Death], have you found out if we have any connections with some other continent?"

Evelyn nodded and said:
"There are such rumors, but I don't know if they are true or false."

Viriana explained:
"It's true, this outer continent is called Frost."

For many high-ranking members of our Eternal Night Kingdom, this is no longer a big secret.

However, they were all unclear about Frost's specifics, as well as my true relationship with Frost.

I won't hide it from you anymore.

Evelyn pondered:
"You mean, your boss is one of Frost's men?"

He reached out and took Evelyn's hands in his palms.

Viriana nodded and said:
"That's right, and he is the Lord of Frost, the whole of Frost is under his rule."

If you can persuade him to help you, you will gain an incredibly powerful ally for your continent of Osia!

At that time, with the cooperation of your mainland army, the [Radiant Hall] will be no threat at all!

As she said this, Evelyn's expression changed.

Virianna then changed the subject, reminding her:
"But we should take things slowly. Let's just get to know each other today."

As I mentioned before, my boss is a bit unusual, and he seems to be in a bad mood these past few days.

Upon hearing this, Evelyn leaned closer and asked thoughtfully:

What exactly do you mean by "special"?
Is it referring not to his status or position, but to his race?

Speaking of Mr. Bernard's race... Virianna frowned slightly without realizing it, then shook her head and said:

"Don't delve too deeply into it; you'll probably realize it eventually."

But as I said before, no matter what you see or perceive, you must remain calm.

Now that she knows more about the situation, hearing these words from Virianna again, Evelyn can no longer remain as indifferent as before.

Because what Virianna meant was clearly:
Her 'mysterious boss' was no ordinary race; in fact, he was even more special than her, a dragon!
Although I was getting increasingly nervous, the appointed time was drawing ever closer.

Virianna also led Evelyn to a pre-prepared ceremony venue.

Before long, a special sacrificial ceremony was performed, summoning the arrival of the ceremony.

Virianna also skillfully began to lead the ritual, responding to this call.

Soon, a spatial rift suddenly appeared on the ceremonial platform, then opened to the left and right.

Across the crack, a small patch of frost-covered land came into view in the distance.

While Evelyn was filled with anxiety, Virianna simply grabbed her arm and started walking towards the spatial rift.

This gave Evelyn the illusion that she was being pulled into an abyss!

—And in fact, they are indeed getting closer to the [Abyss]!
Without thinking too much, Evelyn couldn't help but take a deep breath as Virianna pulled her across the spatial rift.

The next moment, with a sudden shift in light and shadow.

They moved from the indoor space where the ceremony was being held to an open area.

Looking around, there is a deep blue sky, lazy white clouds, and bright sunshine. In contrast, the land here is cold and barren.

Evelyn found no life in any location within her sight and perception.

In addition, her extraordinary senses, which belong to top-tier magical beasts, also gave her a lot of feedback that she was not used to.

There is no magic or elements here!
As Evelyn pondered with some doubt where they were and where the [Abyss-level] being they were supposed to meet was,...

Just nearby, a lazy, gentle male voice, carrying a hint of mature wisdom, drifted over:

"This way!"

They quickly looked in the direction of the sound together and saw the scene that came into view.

A strong sense of unease quickly filled Evelyn's heart.

Beside the altar, there was a small, unusually flat patch of ice, with a white sunshade supporting it.

Under the awning was a pure white stone table laden with food.

Behind the stone table, in a chair, a human wearing a white hooded coat and with his face covered by a mask and sunglasses... is waving at them.

Before Evelyn could think further, Virianna pulled her down from the altar and went over to introduce Brand.

Meanwhile, Brand heard Virianna's introduction and saw Evelyn greet him with a normal expression, but her eyes occasionally flashed with a hint of nervousness.

Brand couldn't help but feel a surge of amusement, then said gently:
“Hello, Ms. Evelyn, you may call me Mr. Rand.”

I'm so glad Virianna has met such a reliable partner.

Sit down and try some of our Frost pastries.

Although this place is desolate, we still have some good things; I think you'll like them.

Upon hearing this, I tried picking up a pastry on the table that exuded wind elements, and chewed it.

The explosion of flavors in her mouth, along with the subtle sweetness of the wind element, made Evelyn squint her eyes in enjoyment.

Seeing this, Brand thought to himself that Evelyn, the Emerald Dragon, indeed had very similar tastes to Olivia, the Azure Hearer…

Because today is only our first meeting.

So, simply get to know and listen to Evelyn's story about the continent of Osia.

Brand also gave a brief introduction to Frost, a place perpetually covered in frost and snow, where magic and elements are depleted.

There are also fictional stories of people from the past, the Frost people, searching for magic and life in the cold wilderness.

And then there's the story of how they carefully preserved and nurtured them, building homes little by little on this barren land.

This meeting has now come to an end.

After that, they said goodbye to each other, and then, carrying the gifts from Brand, they linked arms with Virianna and crossed the spatial rift.

After returning to the continent of Osia, which is full of magic and elements.

Evelyn smiled and said:

"Vina, you scared me earlier. Mr. Rand is usually very kind!"
Also, what does it mean to tell me not to be surprised no matter what I see?

Although Frost is desolate, the story of how the creatures of Frost painstakingly built homes in the cold wasteland fills me with admiration.

As their current leader, Mr. Rand should be a respectable person!

Next time I visit, I'll have to prepare a substantial return gift!

Looking at Evelyn beside him, he saw that she was in a very good mood.

Viriana secretly wiped the cold sweat from her clenched hands, a hint of apology that Evelyn didn't notice flashed across her face.

According to the information she obtained from the unknown dragon named Kandros of the Well of the Dead, who had once visited Frost.

Frost became so cold and desolate.

That's all because a certain [Demon God] took away all the magic and elements, and unleashed a frost calamity that swept across the entire Frost!
In other words, what Mr. Bernard recounted earlier was probably the story of creatures he had coldly witnessed struggling to survive under his immense power!
That man's brutality far exceeds your imagination!

I'm sorry, Evelyn.

But the abyss has already set its sights on you, and you have long since run out of escape routes!
