Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 295 - 285: Into the Depths of Everfrost

After Capella finished speaking, she didn't look back, carrying Yorkshire and turning to leave the scene.

Andrew exhaled gently, thinking to himself how quickly this girl adjusted her mindset... really fast! The more contact Andrew had with the Earth Fire Mages of this world, the more he realized that this group often not only had some physical sub-health but also tended to have poor mindsets.

In comparison, in terms of staying calm and maintaining a good mindset in battle, the Warm Fire Mages of the Commerce Association had more advantages. Of course, the one with the most advantage was himself, this Water Magic Lord.

Capella was clearly an Earth Fire Mage, and at such a young age, yet possessing such a good mindset, which made Andrew both cautious and a bit admiring. Besides admiration, he also grew more curious about her.

"She's very strong." Barbara's voice sounded in his ear, "If her mindset can't be affected, then tomorrow's battle will have to rely on hard strength to defeat her."

"Yeah." Andrew nodded, wondering to himself that Yorkshire was now useless, and he didn't know whether tomorrow he and Barbara would face Capella and the Second Saint Son or if the legendary First Saint Son would be urgently summoned to this Royal Court.

Of course, it didn't matter much who came, as their way of dealing was the same: practice the coordination well before tomorrow's battle.

Truly learn "Water and Fire United," that's all.

After the king and the people from the Magic Guild left one after another, the batch of Frost Guards taking orders from the king also quietly withdrew.

Catherine waved her hand, letting the other batch of Frost Guards who listened to her also retreat, then said, "That's it for today, everyone go back to rest and prepare." After speaking, she nodded to Dean Charlie, gave Andrew and Barbara an encouraging look, and then, like the king, quietly left the hall with just a move of her steps.

Andrew felt a little strange in his heart, seeing this stance, Catherine should be continuing to keep an eye on the king? But in a one-on-one situation without his support, Catherine should still be at a disadvantage against the king. Could it be that during the negotiation duel just now, Catherine noticed some details that he had not noticed, such as the king's unhealed injury being more severe than expected?

The fleeting doubt quickly passed through his mind, and Andrew didn't think much of it, immediately withdrawing from the Eternal Frost Hall with his party.

When they came, they walked on a bridge of ice and snow condensed by the king using the power of a Warrior; when leaving the hall, they took the main door.

The ancient door was engraved with a line of text: "In the depths of the Eternal Frost, the secret of vitality is hidden."

Andrew saw the text and pondered.

The phrase should describe the characteristics of the "Eternal Frost Ice Pattern" of the Royal Family of the Royal Court, that is, using the power of tattoo lines to enhance the body, not only in strength, speed, agility, reaction... and other combat attributes, but also greatly enhancing "vitality."

Yorkshire, after being released by himself earlier, absorbed the "ice pattern oil paint" of the ordinary Frost Guards—essentially a lower tier of the "Eternal Frost Ice Pattern"—absorbing the vitality contained within the ice pattern.

Andrew recited the text twice in his heart, quietly remembering it, and then no longer lingered, following in the footsteps of Dean Charlie and others. Barbara stood by Andrew watching, only starting to move with him when he began walking again.

Not long ago, when the snow and ice dispersed, and the negotiations started, the entire Flame Realm was stirred up by it.

Now, after the first two matches were completed, with each side winning one, the result also impacted other parts of the world inversely. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The Magic Guild clearly received the latest developments from the Royal Court at the first moment.

On the East-West dividing line, the heavy troops nearly pressing the line on the Commerce Association side continued to remain in place, maintaining a posture of sustaining pressure.

On top of the Dragon's Nest fortress, the Gus Scholar, upon receiving the latest news, descended from the city head and no longer confronted Peter and the Medicine Elder of the Crimson Battle Lance's side.

"What's going on? Aren't you at the Royal Court?" Gus was contacting someone from the Royal Court, an expression full of discontent on his old, thin face, "Since you're there, why is it a result of one win and one loss, and the third battle has to be delayed?"

The voice from the opposite side through the Fire God Space was, unexpectedly, the voice of that Female Assassin: "I have many constraints on my side, making it difficult to act; you already know this. Helping to delay another day is already the best I can do."

If Andrew could hack into the Fire God Space and hear the conversation between the two, he'd likely be shocked.

Because from the Female Assassin's tone, the one who helped the Magic Guild delay a day is her! Yet a short while ago in the Eternal Frost Hall scene, it was clearly the king who spoke out to request the delay, going so far as to threaten using Barbara as a hostage.

Only the Female Assassin's voice could be heard continuing, "It's really difficult for me. Your guild's Third Saint Son is of no use at all; hurry up and bring your Second or First Saint Son before the third battle starts tomorrow!"

Gus just shook his head: "The First Saint Son can't come. As for Tiago, he has more important tasks and can't come either."

The Female Assassin's voice fell silent for a moment and then sounded again, filled with obvious dissatisfaction and impatience: "So? If neither the Second nor the First Saint Son can come, how do you expect me to help you with tomorrow's third battle? I already told you, it's inconvenient for me to make a move here!"

Gus was not angry, speaking slowly, "I never said I wanted you to make a move after the third battle begins tomorrow.

Since you just said earlier that the little kid named Andrew is troublesome and a crucial variable, as you mentioned, before tomorrow's battle starts, take care of this crucial support, what do you think? Deal with him before the third battle, and if he's not on the field, it doesn't matter who we pair with Capella."

Pausing for a moment, Gus continued, "Haven't you always wanted the last part of the 'Blood Refining Plan'? Find a way to kill that little kid named Andrew before tomorrow, and the secret of the last part of the 'Blood Refining Plan' is yours."

The Blood Refining Plan was the initial original version of the Dragon Awakening Potion that Andrew had received on the Airship.

It was the Magic Guild's bloody and cruel plan to combine Flame Warrior and Eight Strange Fires.

The plan had been abandoned, but from Gus's words, the Female Assassin seemed very concerned about that plan.

Sure enough, the Female Assassin's voice was heard responding, "...Alright. A promise is a promise."

Gus smiled, "That's natural."

The communication ended there.

Gus didn't return to the city wall. It seemed that the Royal Court's duel outcome, to some extent, instead won more initiative for the Warm Fire Commerce Association side.

But in reality, a conspiracy entirely targeting Andrew had already quietly unfolded...

At the same time, within the Royal Court.

The station of the Warm Fire Commerce Association.

Dean Charlie's face was still somewhat pale, but his eyes were contemplative and spirited as he looked at Andrew and Barbara, saying, "On the Magic Guild side, there's a high probability they won't straightforwardly face us for a fair showdown. There's the possibility that they might pull some little tricks or even more significant moves before the third battle begins tomorrow."

Havier nodded repeatedly on the side, "Yeah, those guys are very insidious and really shameless!"

Susan continued, "After the incident of Charlie being poisoned, we'll also be more careful. But you two little ones don't have to worry about these matters, you just focus on practicing your coordination; we'll handle the rest of the issues."

Andrew and Barbara nodded at the same time, saying, "Yes."

Dean Charlie and Susan soon called Havier and Sabye away.

The room soon was left with only Andrew and Barbara.

"Then let's begin..." Andrew wanted to start practicing coordination immediately, but suddenly stopped speaking midway.

He saw Barbara seeing Dean Charlie and others out of the room, then turned back and looked at him with an unusual gaze.
