Jack first went around town shopping and picking up his shares from Amy's Bakery and Ellie's Restaurant. He collected 200 gold coins out of the three-week shares from the two establishnts. He did that under his Unrivaled Arcaner disguise. It was too much of a hassle if he walked around town as a king.
Afterward, Jack used the city's zone portal to teleport to Heavenly Citadel. He passed the Resurrection Chapel Blueprints to Tip, who was very excited to receive the legendary-grade blueprints. He promised to get this chapel up and running in no ti.
Jack also gave Jeanny the gold seed, Wind Jet technique book, and Divine Might Potion to be copied.
He then used the guild's teleportation chamber to teleport to Eridrus, one of the main cities in the Hydrurond Dominion.
He maintained his mage disguise in this city. He had offended this country's emissary not long ago. He doubted he will be treated with hospitality if the authority knew that he was in this country.
Jack didn't dwell long inside the city. He went out and summoned Pandora after getting a certain distance away from the city.
He changed back to his real self as he mounted Pandora. He let the steed know where he wanted to go. Pandora then took to the sky. She left a fiery trail as she cut through the sky.
With Pandora's current speed. He arrived at his destination in less than two days, which was a large mountain he had visited in the past.
The mountain was none other than Mount Draygetos. Unlike before, Jack flew directly to its summit.
He circled the summit until he saw the familiar hut with a small lake and waterfall. He had Pandora land right next to this hut.
Jack knocked on the door to the hut while shouting, "Darmos…! Hello, mighty Darmos! Are you ho?"
No sound from inside. Jack didn't sense anything from inside. There was also no dot on his radar. But if Darmos was whom Jack suspected to be, he could make himself not appear on the radar.
So, Jack knocked again. This ti, he called, "Mighty Broidrireg, excuse my rudeness. Are you inside?"
Still no answer.
Jack stopped knocking. He was considering going to the cave where he t Broidrireg when the cloud above rumbled. He looked up just in ti to see the white clouds parted. Out of those clouds appeared an enormous dragon head with majestic antlers and two long whiskers.
The enormous dragon descended, revealing his long serpentine body covered with dazzling blue scales. His two large wings were folded as the dragon took a nosedive.
Jack watched as the huge dragon ca down at high speed right above him. He turned into a panic when the dragon didn't slow down. He tried to move away but the dragon's descent created a strong pressure on the air around the ground and this pressure made Jack feel his body to be extrely heavy. He couldn't move away.
The blue dragon abruptly stopped just a few ters above Jack, causing an air explosion that forced Jack to fall flat onto the ground.
While laying flat on the ground, Jack looked at the dragon's big face directly above him. The dragon was flashing his sharp teeth nacingly.
But after further observation, he realized that the expression on the dragon was not a snarl. It was a grin.
The grin then turned into a laugh. "Hehehe, I got you."
"Damn it! I forgot how you love pranks," Jack said as he got up. He glanced at the hut while doing so, amazed at how it withstood the air explosion caused by Broidrireg.
"Why do you co back here? What do you want?" Broidrireg asked.
"I said I hope we can et again, didn't I? Here I am. Don't say that you are not happy to see ," Jack replied.
"I don't," Broidrireg replied curtly.
"Tsk, still like to mask your feeling. So, I reckon you don't want to taste my cooking?" Jack said as he showed his cooking tools and so luxurious ingredients.
He had bought those ingredients and recipes during his shopping in Thereath. He had also gotten a new cooking tool from Ellie, sothing that she bought from the House of Culinary faction at Jack's behest. It was a rare-grade expert cooking tool, which provided extra benefits to the cooked food.
"Hm… Maybe tasting the food is okay," Broidrireg said.
"Can you please turn to Darmos? It is very suffocating talking to you in your mighty form," Jack said.
Broidrireg continued staring at Jack for a few seconds before his body turned into a twister of blue wind and water. The twister converged onto the ground before turning into the small grumpy draconian that Jack was familiar with.
With this, it was confird Darmos was Broidrireg's disguise.
"Hehe, I know he is you," Jack said.
"Don't act so smart. I let you see the clues intentionally," Darmos said.
"Like hell you did!" Jack returned.
Jack was setting up his cooking tools and preparing the ingredients. Darmos just sat on a chair by his hut and watched.
"Aren't you going to help?" Jack asked.
"Nope," Darmos replied. He took out a cigar and started smoking.
"Where the heck do you get that thing?"
Darmos replied by blowing a perfect O-shaped smoke.
Jack let the draconian enjoy his cigar in peace as he started cooking. Not long after, four dishes were served. Jack knew Darmos eat a lot so he prepared more food than one person could typically eat. All four dishes also contained varied food.
Darmos almost couldn't contain his drool after slling the aroma of the food. All the food also looked pleasant visually. These four dishes were suggested by Ellie and Jack also had so short practice preparing them under Ellie's supervision. He went through all these troubles so he could impress Darmos.
pǎпdǎ Йᴏνê1,сòМ Jack didn't join the al. All four dishes were for Darmos. Jack left him to eat in peace as he trained mana manipulation by the side of the lake.
Although Darmos was eating ravenously, he was still aware of Jack's training. He was rather astonished to learn that Jack could do mana manipulation to such a stage already. The last ti Jack was here, he only barely touched the realm where he showed the mana concealnt technique.
After finishing the als, Jack ca to Darmos and asked, "How were the als, do you like them?"
"Cut the crap. I know you want sothing. Spill the beans. I don't like a roundabout way."
"Hehe," Jack smiled awkwardly. "Do you mind being my country's guardian?"
