Early March, the Kingdom of Aitherland, in the capital city of Gerdaria. (Due to caching reasons, please access the website directly through your browser for the fastest chapter updates.)
This forest city resembles a newly unveiled masterpiece after shedding the heavy winter canvas, revealing the tranquility and freshness of early spring. The cobblestone streets, just liberated from ice and snow, are damp and gleam under the midday sun.
The lake in the city is gradually waking up at this moment. Slight ripples appear on its surface, occasionally with a few petals drifting down with the wind, lightly touching the water. The branches sway, accompanied by a gentle breeze carrying the faint scent of fresh grass.
While at the edge of Lake Gada, within the temple surrounded by ancient trees, there were occasional low chants from priests, interwoven with the chirping of birds and insects in the distance, forming a natural harmony.
In the deepest hall, in a corner of this space, there is a massive bookshelf that almost reaches the ceiling. Many of the books on the shelf have spines worn yellow by time, while some are preserved as good as new.
The Snow Queen stood not far from the bookshelf, her figure bathed in natural light. Her long dress fluttered like snowflakes, pure and noble.
"As a spy, you must always remain calm—that much is well known."
It was also at this moment, within these sacred halls, that the Snow Queen offered her farewell words to Hyberion.
After all, even the goddess of fate can't help you if you are lazy, careless, or out of control.
"This card, I hope it can protect you for me."
The Ice Queen presented Hubarian with a pink sacred card adorned with frost and mist.
Their conversation echoed in the Ice and Snow Palace.
Huperlyan nodded solemnly, took the card, and felt the warm magic emanating from it.
This was the spell the Ice Witch had promised her and made for her, a spell that Huberlian would have never been able to learn no matter how long she spent trying.
"Almis teacher, thank you for your care this time."
Huperlian bowed sincerely to the Snow Queen in gratitude.
"Cheer up, no matter what. Once you reach the Protoss Empire, your safety comes first."
The Snow Queen hugged Huberlia.
During this time of being together, she has come to regard Huber as her most important disciple.
Originally, because of Huberly's background, Almis had considered keeping a certain distance from her.
But in the end, Almis was certain that Huberlian was a genuinely pure-hearted child. She did possess the tenacity and coldness of a demon, but when facing those close to her, her eyes would only flicker with honest light.
"You seem to have an epic card on you. Though I don't know what its effects are, the more cards you have up your sleeve, the more confident I feel."
The Ice Snow Witch smiled and said.
"No…it's not mine, it belongs to Ranch."
Huberlian thought for a moment, then replied.
Can epic cards be borrowed as well
Almis was slightly taken aback.
Both Pink Divine and Orange Epic level magic cards cannot be freely exchanged because the Pink Divine quality is difficult to break the soul binding, while the Orange Epic cannot be untied at all.
Unless it is an automatically triggered high-quality card, lending it to someone else will not work.
"This card is a bit special, she can summon herself... even without Lance, she can act according to her own will to help me. But she's more dangerous, so I've never let her out in the temple."
Huperlyan explained.
"Can I have a look at it"
The Snow Queen said with great curiosity.
Huperlan nodded and pulled out the translucent orange card with a floral scent, [The Great Love Poet].
"The great poet, please come out for a while."
She called out to the 【Great Loving Poet】.
No reaction.
"Lanfu"
Hephaestion held the orange epic in his hand, calling out twice, but no one of the Great Lovers came out.
Hupperia felt confused.
Every time she called out to the great poet at home, he would always come out happily. But this time it didn't work.
It seems she is very afraid of the Snow Queen, and does not want to come out to see her.
But if magic cards don't have their owner around, they might indeed be afraid of being encountered by other high-ranking artificers.
In the eyes of magic cards, that might just be a top-of-the-line disassembler.
"It's alright, it's normal for intelligent familiars to be afraid of unfamiliar artificers. I just didn't expect a demon to be so timid."
The Snow Witch gazed at the card, muttering to herself.
For a moment, even she couldn't quite make out the makeup of this card.
"Who are you afraid of I just don't want you to see my stunning beauty."
Suddenly, the great poet of love manifested physically, only his hands were covering his face and he was slightly bowing his back.
If Ranchi hadn't emphasized before she left that she shouldn't let people from the Northern Continent, especially demons, see her appearance, she wouldn't be so timid in front of this annoying woman. To dare say she was cowardly!
Although the great poet didn't know the specific reason for Lan Qi's many cautions, she had a general idea. Perhaps Tata was once a well-known figure in the Northern Continent, and her nearly identical appearance to the great poet herself could cause unnecessary trouble if recognized.
Huberly looked at the great poet in this rather comical manner, not knowing how to evaluate it.
How beautiful can you be
The Snow Queen still found it amusing. She'd never seen a summoned creature so cowardly yet boastful before.
I wasn't planning on saying much, but hearing this extremely provocative tone from the poet of great love, I couldn't help but retort.
"!"
The great love poet wanted to put down her hands again, letting the Ice Snow Witch see that she was no less beautiful than anyone else. But in her heart, she kept replaying Lan Chi's warning.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, the great poet's gaze shifted slightly downward.
"At least it's prettier than you, chopping board."
The Great Love Poet scornfully raised the corner of his mouth.
The Snow Witch was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood what the Great Love Poet meant by chopping board.
She took a deep breath.
I wouldn't stoop to your level, but I can tell you this: no matter how beautiful you are, no one in the world will ever truly love you with that personality.
The Ice Queen said coldly.
The great poet of love, upon hearing this, trembled with anger, seemingly unwilling to accept it.
Seeing that they were about to start a big argument, Huberlian hurriedly stepped between the Great Poet and the Snow Witch.
"Lanfu, calm down, calm down."
She didn't expect that Teacher Almis and the Great Love Poet would have such conflicting personalities. They started arguing as soon as they met.
"Hmph, although Lance always thinks that woman who looks like me is cold, fierce, and old, I'm different. I not only have looks, but also charm!"
The great love poet threw down that sentence and turned back into a summon card.
"Hiss—"
Huperlan listened, a chill running down her spine. She took a deep breath, knowing the Great Poet was using veiled language. While it sounded like he was talking about Tata, in reality, he was criticizing the Snow Witch for being cold, cruel, and old.
Well, it's a good thing this is on the northern continent. If I said this in front of people from Tatata, Huberlian would definitely think that the Great Love Poet was hoping for Lanchi to die!
"I'm sorry, Almis teacher. The great love poet is used to being spoiled."
Hubert quickly bowed his head and apologized to the Snow Queen.
"It's fine, it's my fault. I didn't expect to have a reasonable conversation with a demon summon."
The Snow Witch shook her head.
In that moment the great poet vanished, she now understood the effect of this summon. She hadn't expected even herself to be swayed by this melody magic.
