"Ah, I'm so full! Although the ingredients aren't particularly exquisite, the chefs serving the Royal Family have exceptional skills."
Orange-glazed goose liver, veal stew in white sauce, puff pastry onion soup, Saint-Jacques scallops, honey-glazed duck breast, roasted Cambert cheese... each dish has its own unique characteristics.
Especially the pan-seared tilapia from the Black Sea West Coast. Even after being frozen and transported to the East Coast, it's still better prepared than by our own chefs.
And Her Highness Liweina isn't just beautiful; she has a pretty nice personality too."
Around noon, the two of them walked out hand in hand from Liweina's mansion. As his most capable Guardian Knight, Aiven rarely returned ho, so of course, he was treated to a al.
Olivia, having shared brunch at the Crown Prince's estate, couldn't stop praising the chef's skills, clearly very satisfied.
Apart from the sumptuous dishes, there was also the luxurious set of exclusive Royal jewelry that the Crown Prince gifted her, leaving her no hesitation in giving Liweina a good person card.
Their little fingers intertwined, swinging their arms, they walked down the streets of the Royal Capital Bekele.
Though their outstanding appearance and Aiven's military uniform made them the center of attention, they clearly didn't care about others' gazes, enjoying their rare ti together.
"Full? That's because you hadn't finished digesting dinner before having brunch."
Aiven lightly tapped the tip of the girl's pert nose, easily avoiding her attempt to bite him with a cute set of white teeth.
"Hahaha, still not full? Let's go, now that we're back in the Old Continent, let's find so good stuff. A little exercise is good for digestion."
"What are we looking for?"
"Frog!"
"Eh?"
Swish—
Just as Olivia voiced her confusion, Aiven wrapped an arm around her slender waist, and with a single step, they both disappeared, while the passersby around them noticed nothing unusual.
A few minutes later.
Above Kunsai City in the South Wind Country.
Aiven had already activated the Magic-like Technique: Self-Transformation, turning into a juvenile Giant Dragon eighteen ters in length, with the full ensemble of scales and claws like a normal dragon. However, beneath the strange semi-transparent scales, his body was hazy like mist, resembling a large chunk of not-so-transparent crystal.
This was his true form, the "Cosmic Dragon" capable of manipulating spatial power.
Olivia, clad in Gemstone Armant, stood atop his large head, which had no horns, only a circular bone crown.
She wore a small pure Sapphire Princess Crown on her head, and erald earrings dangled like crescent moons by her ears.
Her upper body was clad in a black form-fitting uniform with lace sleeves, the Ruby-like ribbon cross-tightened to outline a perfect waistline, and long tails adorned with glittering peridots trailed behind her.
Her lower body was in a short, pleated skirt of matching color, designed for mobility, with long gray socks covering her slender legs, marked with Sapphire-like shining stripes. On her feet, she wore black crystal high heels.
Whoosh—
The large dragon wings caught the high-altitude currents and hovered in mid-air; below them was the "Frog Cry Forest" crisscrossed with a network of rivers.
Aside from the incessant, iconic croaking of frogs, the place seed peaceful and serene, making it hard to believe that it housed an otherworldly creature that required a fresh batch of young 'brides' as offerings every ten years.
Last year, it should have been the sacrificial day of the decade.
However, due to their interference, all sacrifices were ultimately rescued, and all gifts from the "Frog God" to humanity were revoked.
Today, they returned here to reclaim the "Golden Crown of the Frog God" which they had previously been unable to take!
"Truly, it's reasonable why the abnormalities here could remain hidden for centuries; during the inactive days of the 'Frog God,' not even a trace could be detected. Even a Upper-Rank Wizard's ntal force field found nothing.
But, the issue isn't significant. Because it can't leave the 'Frog Cry Forest,' a Secret Realm modified by radiation."
Silently and stealthily.
With the full support of the Cosmic Dragon's abilities, the silver-green mist from the Witchcraft Garden spread from the void into the 'Frog Cry Forest,' though not as a descending cloud of blessing.
Instead, it was like a giant eraser, scraping away large sections of the "Frog Cry Forest" that were filled with fertile land, streams, and trees.
Leaving behind only the listone and coral rock layers of the underground terrain, and the starlit "natural wells" within them.
At the sa ti, the Witchcraft Garden, originally only in its embryonic form, began to solidify rapidly with the added materials.
When they were here last ti, they had already verified that this 'Frog God' had very low Wisdom, rely a pseudo being claiming to be a God without a personality or spirituality to match its power, rely a beast host of the 'Golden Crown.'
This crown not only held the power to fulfill human wishes but also served as a strong radiation source carrying specific rules, knowledge, and energy, unconsciously transforming the area into a fairy-tale-like Secret Realm.
Therefore.
If one wants to fill the materials for the Witchcraft Garden, where better than such land brimming with Spiritual attributes?
This was literally stripping the land layer by layer!
However, the "looting operation" had barely reached halfway.
Whoosh—
Amid the mountain breeze's piercing whistle.
An enormous frog erged from the ground, with half of its body comprising flesh and blood, while the other half was filled with moss, fungi, and tree branches, looking like a small hill.
