The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 13 Shocking Change

The next morning, Kahn was completely bewildered to learn that his thighs had shrunk.

Last night, the old emperor of the Fire Kingdom passed away, and before his death, he made a last-minute decision to hand over the throne to the second prince, Ao Zai, instead of Ai Luo, who had been the crown prince his entire life.

???

Good heavens, the prince has become a king, and the big brother has become a calf.

However, if Ao Zai becomes emperor, then Zu Kou will become the crown prince.

Hey, you didn't expect that, did you? I bet on both! I made a killing!

The thought that his originally intended underling had suddenly become a prince, and possibly someone he would need to curry favor with in the future, left Kahn with nothing but sighs:

Life is unpredictable!

Although Kahn was carefree and only thought about the problem of thighs and calves, the impact of this matter on the Fire Nation was enormous.

This news caused a nationwide uproar.

Meanwhile, the situation in the city became tense. Although no martial law order was issued, the large number of soldiers on the streets still kept most people from leaving their homes. Even the schools gave a holiday with no known date, sending Kahn home.

Kahn, of course, only dared to stay at home obediently and didn't dare to go anywhere.

The old emperor valued Airo highly. Despite his crushing defeat and being stripped of his generalship, Airo received no other punishment. In fact, even though he was dismissed, his army remained under his control.

This trust alone shows the old emperor's expectations for Airo.

But now that the old emperor has suddenly passed away and the new emperor is the second prince, Ao Zai, even the least thoughtful person would probably conjure up a whole bunch of conspiracy theories in the face of this situation.

People like Kahn, who have been bombarded by the information explosion, have countless little dramas of conspiracy in their minds, so they are very worried about Airo.

After all, according to the history of his hometown, the struggle for the throne, fratricide, killing brothers to seize power, and even launching rebellions were all considered normal occurrences.

But that's all he can do, worry about it for nothing.

For the next few days, Kahn stayed at home, almost suffocating everyone.

Even in his hometown, where entertainment options were plentiful, keeping someone cooped up at home for extended periods would be boring, let alone in ancient times when entertainment was scarce.

In addition, Kahn lived alone at home, and apart from cooking, practicing martial arts, and reading, there was nothing else for him to do every day.

Even owning a dog doesn't have to be this boring!

Kahn sighed inwardly, feeling for the first time that his house felt empty and lacked a sense of life, and the thought of getting a pet began to cross his mind.

But upon closer reflection, it seems like a hassle.

After several days, the number of soldiers outside gradually decreased, so some people began to try going out into the streets. A few days later, the streets returned to their bustling state, as if nothing had happened.

But neither Airo nor Zuko came to see him.

They didn't come looking for him, and he had no ability to go looking for them, so he could only obediently continue going to school as usual.

Just so happens

Kahn had been thinking about getting a pet, and today he came across an interesting article in the library.

The article specifically introduces three magical creatures: the Vulcan Dragon, the Earth-Riding Mole, and the Flying Bull.

Vulcan Dragon is a dragon!

Although it was a truism, it conveyed Kahn's surprise.

The Vulcan dragon resembles the Eastern dragon from his hometown, but it has a pair of wings, somewhat like the Yinglong from his hometown.

However, the fire dragon here is not as powerful as the dragon recorded in his hometown; it is just a magical creature that can fly and breathe fire.

He's actually quite impressive, and his looks are off the charts—in short, handsome.

It is said that the art of fire control was taught to fire masters by the fire god dragon, which is why this article specifically introduces them.

As the name suggests, the Earth-controlling Mole is a giant mole that can manipulate the earth, and it is also the earth-controlling technique that they teach to earth-controllers.

The Flying Bull is similar; it is a flying bull that can control qi. It has six legs and a wide, flat tail, giving it a strangely cute appearance. It is also the origin of qi control techniques.

The art of water manipulation was created based on the ebb and flow of the tides, so there are no corresponding magical creatures, which is a bit of a shame.

Water Manipulation Technique, what's wrong with you, little brother? Are you being a loner?

However, this article sparked Kahn's interest in the magical creatures of this world, and he specifically sought out books of this kind to read, which broadened his horizons.

Flying lemur, bull-hoofed elephant deer, triangular beast, ice toad, sea monster snake

The variety of magical creatures amazed Kahn, and a new idea popped into his mind.

He originally wanted to get a pet because he was too bored, but he found it too much trouble. However, after getting to know these magical beasts, he found a perfect solution to his problem.

Why not just raise a smart, self-sufficient mythical beast?

The book says that the mythical beasts are highly intelligent and can even understand human speech.

Isn't a beast that can be cute, possesses amazing abilities, fights alongside you, and even understands your speech far better than a simple pet that's just cute?

This is already a Pokémon!

I'll become a trainer right now!

Of course, these kinds of exotic beasts are rarely sold. If you want to own one, you have to wait until you have enough strength to conquer it yourself.

Simply put, Kahn is currently daydreaming.

Suddenly, Kahn realized that this scene seemed familiar, just like when he went into a computer building forum with a budget of two thousand yuan to learn about the situation, but ended up leaving with a computer building plan of more than ten thousand yuan, looking at the money in his pocket and sighing.

Why is that?

In short, Kahn's pet-raising plan had to be put on hold because it was changed to raising exotic animals at the last minute.

However, there is good news: Elo has approached Kahn again.

Kahn was greatly surprised: "Uncle, you're not dead?!"

Airo's smile froze, and her hand, which was about to greet him, slapped Kahn on the head with a "smack."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

After saying that, Airo didn't stand on ceremony and walked straight into the house as if it were his own home, heading straight for the kitchen, where Kahn kept the tea leaves: "Come on in."

"oh."

Kahn rubbed his head and closed the door.

Airo brewed himself a pot of tea and enjoyed it. Kahn also took out a cup, but instead of drinking tea, he poured himself a cup of hot water.

Airo took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup and smiled:

"I've come to tell you some good news, which is—"

He drew out the last word, trying to pique Kahn's curiosity, before revealing:

"—Now I have more time to spend with you all!"

He opened his arms and laughed, "How was it? Happy?"

"Yes, yes, I'm so happy!"

Kahn gave Elo a perfunctory reply, but in his heart he was thinking: Elo probably meant that he had lost all his original power and had become a completely idle prince.

This result is not bad.

Just as Kahn had thought, in the struggle for the throne, fratricide was commonplace. It was already quite good that Airo was still sitting here drinking tea in good health. As for what exactly had happened these past few days, he didn't feel comfortable asking.

At this point, Kahn thought of Zuko again.

Airo and Zuko used to come together, but not today.

So he asked, "Speaking of which, why didn't I see Zu Kou today?"

"Zu Kou,"

Upon hearing Kahn mention Zuko, Airo's smile faded slightly. He took a sip of tea, held the teacup, and sighed.

"He has quite a few problems too."
