3067 Family Trip (Part 1)

'There's no telling which enchantments I saw in Elphyn's mind belong to the old tower and which are instead born from her fusion with the artifact. I might as well study Baba Yaga's tower like my predecessor did Menadion's.'

The previous Yggdrasil had sent their Chroniclers to follow Menadion everywhere, using the elves' breathing technique to study the tower core with the help of the World Tree.

Unlike Lith and Baba Yaga, Menadion didn't hide her presence so with time, patience, and cloaking devices, the Chroniclers had first cracked the cloaking runes of the tower and then copied its core one bit at a time.

'Yet not only do I have no idea how long studying her hut would take due to Baba Yaga's elusiveness, but there's also no comparison between the two mage towers. The ease with which Verhen defeated Argantyr alone proves it beyond doubt.

'Sure, it was a trap and the location of the fight was set up to maximize his advantage, but Verhen still managed to match if not even surpass the might of the three white cores and their offspring.

'And that while the tower still lacks the Ears and several floors. There's only one way to get myself such a masterpiece while I still have enough lifespan to achieve my Guardianhood and it's to pry that stone ring from Verhen's dead fingers.'

Griffon Kingdom, Zeneka Region, city of Zalma at the same time.

Zalma was a port town built facing the Arsman Ocean that separated the Garlen continent from Jiera. The moon was slowly rising from the city bay, giving the water a silvery luster and the scenery a fairy tale look.

The waters were placid as the fishing boats returned to the harbor before the sun disappeared on the horizon. Several islands were visible in the distance, and the lights of their distant buildings made them look magical in the twilight.

The climate in the Kingdom was getting hot due to the summer but a refreshing ocean breeze carried a salty smell and made the evening air pleasant even during the warm season.

Zalma's commerce had been flourishing non-stop during the past few years of famine thanks to the abundant fishing areas of the Arsman Ocean. Even after the recent bountiful harvest had put an end to the food crisis, the city was still expanding.

The regional Lord had exploited the famine to show the Royals the importance of his fishing towns and reached an agreement with the Crown to ensure funds for the development of Zeneka.

In exchange for their investments, the Royals received a regular supply of fish, making key fortresses of the Kingdom less reliant on cultivated fields for survival.

Between tourists and merchants, every hotel and restaurant in Zalma was fully booked and Haug's Travelling Tavern was no exception. It was the reason Lith had reserved a few tables for his family and Morok decided to ride the Tiamat's coattails.

From the outside, the establishment looked anonymous and it was easy to miss amid the small warehouses in-between which the Tavern was nestled for the day. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

It was a rectangular one-story building made of stone with several squared windows and a door that sealed all the noise inside except for the brief moment when it was opened.

The most peculiar thing about the building was a huge neon-like insignia that said: Haug's Travelling Tavern.
