Creak, creak.

The horse carriage traveled on a gravel road flanked by towering trees. Those trees were much inferior to Mount Creation’s platinum or even diamond-tier trees. There were no magical fruits on the tree trunks that one might use to advance to the gold tier. They looked ordinary.

The winter had ended. There was still some ice and snow on the ground that had not completely melted, making it difficult to walk on the roads.

“It would be great if Mount Creation had paved routes to the kingdom’s various villages. At the very least, the roadways would be easier to walk on. I can even charge them a fee.”

Watson leaned against the carriage’s window, taking in the view beyond. He yawned out of boredom.

Of course, he knew that was impossible because the border was Sylvan’s domain. He could integrate the border into Mount Creation upon Sylvan’s agreement. However, it was different outside the border. The king’s domain laid beyond the border. Someone would undoubtedly report him if he dared to fuse the area without the king’s authorization. The king’s army would await his arrival.

The first city they would reach was the City of Steel, part of the king’s domain. It was approximately two days away from the border. Another moniker for that place was the City of Adventurers.

It was named that because the city was teeming with explorers. Most of the legendary adventurers in Misty Forest were from there. Other than the border, most of them were willing to go to one other place outside the City of Steel—it was a ruin named the Underground City Maze.

That ruin had lasted ever since Landhar I established the kingdom about 400 years before. Experts speculated that the ruin had existed thousands of years ago, and it could even be older. Its massive construction was the size of a city.

In addition, another legend was mentioned in the underground city. A few decades ago, the most powerful person in the kingdom, the sword saint, was still quite young. He had been there to investigate. He descended to the underground city’s lowest level and received a holy weapon. People said that the sword saint had become the most powerful person in the kingdom because of his ability to clear the dungeon. The rumor about how he would amass a large amount of wealth and reach the peak of his life after clearing the underground city’s 100th level spread like wildfire.

Of course, other than the sword saint, no one else had managed to clear the underground city’s dungeons for the past few decades. Each level had many magical beasts, and they could regenerate after a period. Many adventurers only wanted to kill those magical beasts to make some money.

“Young Master Watson, even though the winter has ended, and the Holy Dragon Kingdom is entering spring, it is still very cold outside. Please sit in the carriage so that you won’t catch a cold,” Denise said; she was one of the Demoness Bandit Gang’s original members. She wrapped a cowhide blanket over Watson’s legs.

“Watson is a platinum-tier elite. Is he afraid of changing weather?”

When she heard Denise’s comments, Nightingale, who was driving, turned around. Her eyes sparkled with envy as she saw Denise covered Watson with a blanket.

She wished she could trade places with Denise. Watson had arranged for her to stay outdoors because she was skilled, and Denise knew the kingdom better.

“Young Master Watson may not be concerned about the weather, but as maids, we must be considerate, even if it is something that our master does not require. Furthermore, Young Master Watson will not want to show off his strength. Otherwise, he would not have asked us to accompany him. It’s obviously better to choose the Blackmoon Knights to escort him,” Denise explained slowly.
