Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Novel

Chapter 566: Meeting Between Important Figures

-----

Master and disciple wandered around the beautiful sect territory, it was said that it had gone through a lot of destruction after the first attack from the Dark Shadow Sect, but in just a few days, most of the destruction was already repaired.

"Incredible, most things were all repaired in less than a month since the attack…" said the master.

He looked around the entire place, as Yann couldn't help but praise the architecture and the speed of construction of the sect, such amazing crafters could find a lot of good jobs in the capital of Evernorth…

Yann tilted his bamboo hat as he looked around the beautiful city of the sect, it looked like an actual Kingdom's capital rather than a mere sect…

"Amazing…" he sighed in wondrousness.

"Master! Master! Look! They're selling some weird balls with octopus inside! I want some! Do you want some?"

Meanwhile, the young and hyperactive Gaveronn began to wander around everywhere, looking for treats to eat, suddenly finding a small cart selling Takoyaki, the golden balls made of bater and filled with small pieces of octopus tentacles picked up Yann's interest, as he slowly made his way near Gaveronn.

"Gaveronn we are in here for a job, not to eat strange foods…" he sighed.

However, at the end, the two ended sitting next to each other in a small bench while enjoying the Takoyaki.

Yann sighed.

"Hmm! This is unexpectedly delicious! And the sauce just goes amazingly well with it… and this green tea is so soothing! I have to quickly write this down in my journal!" said the young and spirited man, writing down the things he had found out on his travels.

Yann sighed while smiling at the young disciple, he often always brought him into new places where he met new experiences.

"You're really a hopeless kid… But yeah, these are good…" he said, eating the last ball and drinking the last bit of tea.

"Now, let's go, we can come to eat again after we are done." Said Yann.

"Alright! I saw that they were selling some weird things made out of rice named Mochi or so… I want to try them out, they looked sweet!" said Gaveronn.

"Do you think in anything else other than eating?" sighed Yann.

The two men reached the large palace of the Winter Lotus sect, as they were immediately greeted by servants that led them towards its interior- of course, after having to comply with certain customs.

"The floor is made of soft wood, so it is prohibited to use shoes, you may walk over the floor with socks or barefoot." Said the young female servant.

"W-Without shoes? Okay? Well, it's a weird custom…" said Gaveronn.

"Hmm… I have never entered a place with such a custom, this place is really unique," said Yann.

After the two made their way inside the building and began to walk upstairs while being led by two servants, Yann and Gaveronn's eyes sharpened.

They suddenly sensed a powerful presence coming from the room two floors above them… a powerful entity whose power was something they had never sensed before.

It was both aberrant and mystical, both wondrously colorful yet dark… there was a constant spiraling light around it but also an endless ocean of dread…

What was this entity? Was this really a person? A mortal?

"Master…" said Gaveronn, as cold sweat began to pour out of his neck.

"I also sensed it… If you excuse me, misses, who… who is there?" asked Yann.

"Lady Mikohime-sama, Vasilisius-sama, and Drake-sama…" said the young girl.

"The two sect masters and the newbie…" said Gaveronn.

"(Is this the presence of all of them combined? No… I can sense it coming only from a single person… But above all the feelings it is giving me… there is a certain coldness like I had never felt it… something… so encompassing and freezing that even my bones are trembling… What… is this feeling? It feels as if I am facing the personification of winter itself… I had never felt this feeling before aside from when I was visited by an immortal…)" thought Yann, he couldn't help but feel an utter fear the moment he sensed the being within this place, which presence he could only compare to an immortal, if even…

"Here, please, make yourselves at home, the three sect masters are waiting there." Said the servant.

The other servant opened the wood and paper door, as the two men were greeted by three people.

Yann and Gaveronn quickly inspected them with their eyes.

All three of them…

Seemed to not emanate that presence.

Was this… their imagination?

It felt like something else was here just a few seconds ago, but now it was completely gone.

What could this mean?

Who was this presence? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ _Fire

Could it truly be… one of these three people?

Yann swallowed saliva; it has been a long time since his heart had beaten so fast before… But he quickly composed himself and sat down cross-legged while greeting the three sect masters, who had greeted them.

"Welcome! You must be the people sent here from the Turquoise Frozen Pavilion, right? Nice to meet you, my name is Mikohime Winter Lotus, I am the Sect Master of the sect." said Mikohime with a gentle smile.

"Indeed we are… Nice to meet you as well, Mikohime. My name is Yann, and my disciple here is Gaveronn… Who might these two gentlemen be?" asked Yann.

"Name's Vasilisius, I am the Master of the Jade Snake Sect. You don't need any formalities with me." Said the old man of the room.

"I am Drake Winter Dragon. Of the Winter Dragon Sect, it is truly an honor to meet such figures today. I am grateful for this meeting." Said Drake.

The two men looked at one another's eyes, surprised over the "newbie" way of speech. His appearance was also quite regal, his beauty was quite clear, looking like a refined piece statue made of marble.
