Chapter 1889: What A Headache

All the gazes in the shop converged on Elizabeth instantly. So, Alex didn't come to eat ice cream. He came to look for this beautiful lady.

Elizabeth was also a little surprised. She stared at Alex, who was standing at the door, silently for a moment before passing the ice cream to Yabemiya, and followed him out.

"I found this amulet in a cave today. I think I should pass it to you." Mag looked at Elizabeth as he took out that Frost Order.

"This is!" Elizabeth's eyes widened instantly, and she received that Frost Order with trembling hands. She was already sure that this was the real Frost Order as soon as she held it. Moreover, it was that one that belonged to her father.

"Wh-where did you find it…" Elizabeth, who looked at Mag with reddened eyes, asked in a quivering voice.

"In a cave. There will be people going there in the coming two days. If you want to see for yourself, I can ask them to bring you there." Mag looked at Elizabeth calmly. He could empathize with her current emotions.

Elizabeth held the Frost Order tightly as she looked at Alex. She didn't know how trustworthy the man in front of her was, but given his power and identity, there was no need for him to lie and specially return this Frost Order to her.

After a brief hesitation, she nodded. "I want to go."

"Someone will come to notify you." Mag nodded slightly before he turned to walk to the griffin. However, he stopped after taking a few steps, and turned around to look at Elizabeth. "Your father's disappearance had nothing to do with me. He is a hero. It's fine if you don't believe me, but I hope you know that."

After speaking, Mag went back to the griffin's back before he turned into a purple light, and disappeared on the horizon.

Holding the Frost Order, Elizabeth stared into the sky for a long time before she pursed her lips, and returned to the ice cream shop.

"Who is that beautiful young lady? Why was Alex looking for her personally and passing her something?"

"If she is Elizabeth, then she is the princess of the Frost Dragons. Alex seems to be passing the Frost Order to her?"

"The Frost Order is apparently the token of the Frost Dragons' chief. Perhaps Alex wants to support her to be the new Frost Dragons' queen?"

People were discussing the event softly among themselves. The excitement of Alex's sudden appearance was not going to die down for a while.

Yabemiya looked at Elizabeth—who came in with reddened eyes—and hurried over to her as she concernedly asked, "Are you still alright, Big Sister?"

"I'm fine." Elizabeth nodded slightly before softly saying to Yabemiya, "I'm feeling a little unwell. I'll go back to rest first."

"Alright. You will go back first." Yabemiya quickly nodded, and removed Elizabeth's apron for her. She didn't pursue it.

Elizabeth returned to the dormitory, and took out the Frost Order after closing the door. She caressed the frost dragon carving gently, and murmured, "Father… where are you now?"

The Frost Order was the identity authentication of the Frost Dragons' chief. She knew how important this amulet was to her father. He risked his life to seize the Frost Dragons' throne just to obtain it.

However, Alex had found it in a cave somewhere.

Countless bad thoughts popped up into her mind. She believed her father would have never thrown the Frost Order away if a life-and-death situation hadn't happened.

Furthermore, he would definitely return to look for it if the crisis was resolved.

She dared not think any further…

"Hero…" She remembered Alex's earlier words. She didn't want any hero; she simply wanted her father.

The purple-striped griffin glided across Aden Square in midair. Mag flicked a glance at Mamy Restaurant and the seafood shop's booth at the entrance.

The gigantic screen was still showing the octopus tentacles' series tutorials in a loop. There was no one cooking there, but there was still a huge crowd watching the tutorials' video seriously.

Meanwhile, there was a long line at the octopus tentacles' booth. The line wasn't any shorter than yesterday's.

Seems like teaching videos have a big market. Mag pondered. He was even more convinced with the idea that he had to come up with magicvision as soon as possible.

Ah Zi turned around, and went to the city lord's castle.

The purple-striped griffin landed in front of the city lord's castle's gates. Dicus came out, and respectfully said to Mag, "Lord Alex, the city lord is already waiting at the lounge. Please follow me."

"Yes," Mag replied in a low voice, and followed Dicus into the city lord's castle.

Michael got up when he saw Alex walk in, and smilingly asked, "Alex, why are you looking for me?"

Mag threw a glance at the closed door before saying to Michael directly, "We discovered the place where the second Great Old One was sealed, but the seal was already broken, and the Great Old One was already missing."

"What?!"

Michael's smile froze on his face. He subconsciously took a step forward. "You are saying that the devil has already gotten out of the seal, and came to our world?"

"Yes." Mag took out the photostone, and showed Michael the images that they had recorded.

Seeing that familiar wall mural on that broken stone gate and the decimated spell formation underwater, Michael's expression became gradually graver.

"Could this be the other half body of that devil beyond Chaos City?" Michael asked Mag.

"Judging from the mural, this possibility is quite high." Mag nodded before continuing, "But there was nothing related to the Great Old Ones left on the scene. However, judging from the marks in the cave, a fierce battle seemed to have happened there. I found a piece of dragon scale and the Frost Order there."

Michael took that Frost Dragon scale out, and passed it to Michael. "I have already passed the Frost Order to Rankster's daughter, Elizabeth."

Michael appraised that dragon scale with a frown, and said, "You are saying that Rankster had a fierce battle with that devil in that cave?"

"The traces of battle were left behind by a giant dragon, and the Frost Dragon scale and the Frost Order were left on the scene too. Apart from him, I cannot think of another dragon," Mag said calmly.

Michael nodded in agreement to Mag's judgement before saying, "The devil escaping from the seal is an immense threat to the entire Norland Continent. I'll have to notify all the races and get them to heighten their vigilance to guard against the devil's attack. At the same time, I will also heighten the defense level at the Thunderstorm Mountains."

Mag nodded. This was a matter that didn't need his participation, but he said to Michael, "Please help me inform Douglas that the Frost Order was passed to Elizabeth by me."

"I understand." Michael nodded with a thoughtful expression.

Mag turned to leave.

"Misfortunes indeed never come alone. What a headache." Michael scratched his head. He asked Dicus to come in, and began drafting the notice.
