Happy reading!

"..."
Ethan continued to observe various areas around him, increasingly amazed.
Seeing the buildings around him were very similar to something he had seen, a little similar.
The only difference lies in their houses, except for the pillars that surround them.
It's like a skyscraper, connected at the top.
It's just that he doesn't know what it does, has no intention of finding out.
As the two of them continued walking, it lasted for several tens of minutes.
Until finally they stopped. In front of them there was a large building.
The shape is like an ancient palace, very large.
Around the place there were several westdragons guarding it, like guards outside the door.
They wore armor, constantly monitoring the surroundings.
Suddenly they saw a familiar figure, "village chief!" all the guards started to approach Emer.
While paying respects to him. Bowed head.
"Welcome back!" all the westdragons said in unison.
Emer could only be silent for a moment, feeling a little awkward.
Moreover, there are a lot of guards, different from the gate guards.
And now he is with the messenger, feeling embarrassed.
"cough-" he quickly faked a cough, not wanting to think too much about it.
After seeing Ethan's unchanged expression, he was still filled with curiosity.
Even his eyes sparkled slightly, looking into the room.
It is made of pillars, like humans.
Emer felt satisfied, and looked back at his subordinates.
"You guys, tell the servants to make a lot of food and bring it to my room." he ordered firmly while waving his left hand to the side.
Shows how seriously he takes this guest.
The westdragons knew who their leader had brought, but didn't want to ask any further.
Knowing that it was the envoy, didn't like it.
"Understood, leader." after that they walked away, returning to their respective places.
There were also some of them walking towards the palace, preparing to order servants.
"Lord, let's go inside." Emer said calmly, respectfully.
His heart was filled with confidence, hoping that Ethan would praise this place.
He was sure that would happen, after seeing something inside the palace.
"step-" "step-" "step-"
The two of them walked again into the palace.
With Ethan not talking much, and focusing on his surroundings
Even though he had seen it several times, it still attracted his interest. makes him happy.
Also feel the cold air in this place even, even if he use a bubble.
It felt like the atmosphere in the lake was constantly flowing in, as if giving it artificial breath.
'oh... This is an interesting place!' Ethan thought to himself as he continued to move his eyes.
The moment he set foot right inside the palace, he was even more shocked.
His mouth began to open wide, looking at a statue.
It was a woman, like a human.
It's just that the legs are different, they are shaped like scales.
Just like other fish, demihumans.
"That… mermaid?" said Ethan subconsciously, knowing what the creature was.
The Westdragon leader only smiled slightly, hearing those impolite remarks.
But he was not angry with him, even though he respected the statue very much.
"Lord, she is the goddess of the ocean, Aqua." Emer immediately introduced it to him.
In a polite tone.
"goddess of the ocean? So that's how it is." he answered quietly while looking at her beautiful figure.
Ethan began to wonder whether the statue of the goddess he had met was still alive or not, curious.
Unfortunately he couldn't guess, choosing to forget the question.
Moreover, it was impossible for the system itself to tell him. That's absolutely impossible!
Knowing how petty he was already made him feel annoyed.
Emer shook his head slightly, seeing his reaction.
"Then Lord, let's go to my room, someone is waiting there."
Ethan, who had now woken up from his reverie, immediately turned to where he was and nodded his head.
"Okay, take me now!" he answered excitedly, impatient to taste their food.
Actually, what Ethan wants is endurance, like when he was in the vampire world.
The food there was delicious, and still echoes in his mind to this day.
Suddenly Ethan's stomach started to rumble, feeling hungry.
Remembering the taste of the beef is very tempting.
Without him realizing, saliva was dripping, eager to try again.
Unfortunately this cannot be done at this time, because Ethan's goal has not been achieved.
"step-" "step-" "step-"
Several minutes have passed, Ethan and Emer are already in the same room.
Around the floor there are soft pillows, along with a large table.
Around the table there are cutlery such as forks.
Even knives.
"By the way, where are the Lizardmans?" Ethan immediately looked for a topic, seeing that the room was so quiet.
Without any of them speaking, not even his subordinates.
They were just standing guard, near the door.
Without looking at them, focus on their work.
"Ah, they are touring the city, and enjoying the food there." Emer explained it straight away, very friendly.
Because he looks old, he looks like a kind old grandfather.
And weak.
Even so, he has strong muscles, showing his endurance.
After all, they were the result of the lizardman's subsequent evolution, which was much stronger.
"..."
Hearing the explanation somehow made Ethan a little annoyed, feeling like it was a waste to be here.
If he had known this town also sold food, he would have gone there.
"hah..." he took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger.
Ready to wait whenever the food comes, don't want to wait too long.
Moreover, the room belonging to the leader of Dragonwest, has several pictures.
And those pictures are the results of their racing paintings.
Shows they are also talented in this area.
Several minutes passed, Ethan was now holding his chin using his left hand.
Feeling bored, lazy.
He was starting to slightly regret choosing to visit this place.
Well, it wasn't a waste of time.
Seeing how beautiful this place was was enough to make him feel satisfied.
While Ethan was lost in thought, a voice was heard at the entrance.
"Leader, we have prepared the food you ordered." the sound is soft, it doesn't feel like dragonwest.
Ethan immediately realized from the voice alone that it was a woman.
Without having to look at it, he already knew.
But Ethan was sure they would definitely be shaped like Dragonwest in front of him, annoying.
Immediately ignored the servants, not intending to look at them too much.
"Enter." Emer immediately gave them permission, without hesitation.
He had been looking forward to this for a long time, thankfully.
Realizing that Ethan was no longer enthusiastic. He panicked.
Afraid he would leave this place when his patience ran out.
Luckily fate said otherwise and that didn't happen.
The servants immediately entered the room. As Ethan suspected.
They all resemble the Westdragons, only they have breasts.
The size is around B-Cup, normal.
Seen them holding large plates containing seafood.
Like jumbo sized shrimp.
Very long, enough to feed 10 people.
Even the fish are not far behind, almost equal.
When the food arrived in front of Ethan, his face became shocked.
Smell how fragrant it is, can't wait to taste it.
Before he wanted to eat it, he turned slightly towards the maid who brought it.
"Eh?" Ethan's expression froze, seeing that she was very different from the other Westdragons.
'h-huh? What's this?! How can there be creatures that look like humans in this place!' Ethan muttered loudly to himself, full of disbelief.
The maid's appearance had a very beautiful face, as well as pointed ears.
Hair is yellow and slightly golden.
Has beautiful pupils, and impressive irises. Gold.
"... Who are you?" Ethan started to ask, sure she wasn't from this place.
Ethan's eyes began to glow bright red, seeing the depths of her body.
Once again his face was filled with shock, seeing so much energy in her body.
Even Ethan wasn't her opponent, that was beyond common sense.
A hint of fear emerged in his heart, alert.
"My name is Layla, nice to meet you, The messenger." she immediately introduced herself, respectfully.
The way she looked at Ethan was different from the other maids, gentle.
There was not the slightest hatred in her heart towards those envoys.
Even though she looked calm on the outside, inside she was nervous and afraid.
'It's been almost 48 years since I met 'him', it feels like time has passed so fast...' she muttered to herself, feeling sad.
Remembering a man she first met. A long time ago.
He is human, just like Ethan.
Soon, a smile appeared on her face.
Seeing the way Ethan looked at her, it was as if he was looking at a monster.
And she noticed it, but continued to smile at him.
'As expected of the next successor...'
After that, Layla stepped back, a little away from him.
Didn't want to cause him too much trouble, knew it was for the best.
While slightly nodding her head, giving him respect.
'...'
Ethan remained silent, without saying a word.
Even after hearing the introduction. and immediately realized one thing.
The being in front of him was the strongest person he had ever met, below Iris.
"gulp-"
Feeling nervous when facing it, not ready.
Even so, Ethan was curious why a creature like that was on the second floor. isn't that impossible?
Moreover, each floor has its own difficulties. How could creatures of a higher level set foot on the lowest floor?
That's very confusing.
In the end, Ethan was clueless, choosing to ignore the thought.
It didn't matter to him as long as the yellow-haired woman didn't disturb him.
After that, he returned to the table and saw a jumbo-sized shrimp.
His stomach growled again, wanting to eat it immediately.
Before he was about to take the fork and knife, he turned back to where Layla was.
"Thank You." Ethan didn't forget to express his gratitude. It's mandatory.
His heart now felt calm, without fear of her.
Then he immediately ate his food, without caring about her reaction.
With the knife continuing to cut the tender meat, it's delicious!
It tasted fresh, like the beef he was eating at that time.
Ethan's heart started to feel so happy, he regretted thinking about leaving this place.
"Yum~"
He continuously put shrimp meat into his mouth. Tirelessly.
Even though Ethan continued to eat it non-stop, his stomach didn't look bigger. As previously.
