Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

We had to first climb the Primeval Frost Soul Tower, built as a way to reach this floating palace in the skies. The way we climbed it was quite easily, as there was a magic elevator inside of it that carried us all the way to the top of the tower in just a few seconds. Once we arrived, we were greeted by a large hall with several guards everywhere.

Yann led us to what resembled another elevator, which we took, flying into the empty skies in a flash, and reaching all the way to the top of the clouds, the floating palace. The Primeval Frost Soul Court.

"And here we are. I apologize for how long it took. Procedures must be taken into consideration. We cannot simply fly here through magic and the like, as that would be breaking some rules we really wouldn't want to break." Sighed Yann.

"Indeed~ Now welcome to the court!" Gaveronn said.

The beautiful palace's interior was quite stunning, made completely out of primordial ice. This entire place was overflowing with leftover divine power. This was perhaps built by the Frost Queen herself to maintain and unify the nations of the continent she was born into.

"What a beautiful palace." Benladann said in amusement.

"Yeah, it's so big…" Miranda sighed.

They were good at pretending to be amazed, I guess they wanted to help in the act of being surprised, so they wouldn't suspect of us being more than we pretend to be.

"Indeed, never have I seen something so incredible before. This is truly magic only gods could ever conjure!" I praised the architecture, although Fuyu alone beat this things by far.

"We were just as amazed as you are, Lord Drake." Yann nodded. "Now, please accompany us to the conference room. In there, we'll be greeted by the rest of the governors. There's Kings, Queens, Sect Masters, and even Emperors."

"Oh, is that so? Could I get a roundabout about the guests here? Are they too many?" I wondered.

"Not as many, much like you, only the biggest figures have come, which often represent a whole alliance. In this continent there's a symbiotic relationship between Sects and Nations founded by the Frost Queen. It was made so we could better protect ourselves and our people. Sects raise fighters and powerful magicians while the Nations often take charge into managing the rest of everything, pretty much. Sometimes Sects take over everything by themselves and create something similar to a small village." Yann continued explaining.

"But if we get to the point, there's four big shots." Gaveronn went to the point faster than his maser. "The Emperor of the Frost Emblem Empire, the King of the Frost Tear Kingdom, the Sect Master of our sect, which is also the strongest of the Continent, and then the biggest of shots, the person in charge of the Court itself, the Court Master, said to be a descendant of the Frost Queen!"

"I see…" I nodded while quickly saving those titles, although we were not given names, but I couldn't care less aside from the Court Master.

As we entered, we were greeted by over twenty people. Yeah, the big shots were the only ones I was going to give a damn, there's too many people here. From Kings, Queens, Sect Leaders, and more.

With my arrival and that of my family, we quickly sat down and behaved. Benladra and Kate shut down in silence alongside the rest of the audience who was waiting for this to begin. Some people also brought their kids with them, so I guess we were not the only ones… The moment I entered; many eyes were directed at us though.

But the eyes of a mortal couldn't be less intimidating. With a wave of my hands I could freeze everyone here in a mere second, this is more just for my own amusement and curiosity than for anything else, not even physical gains, as I doubt mortals have much they could offer at this point.

"Now that we are all together, let's begin the Court Conference, done every ten years to honor the great alliance fund by our Frost Queen long ago."

A tall and bearded Ice Giant entered the room, he looked exceedingly old, with a sharp gaze and a long, silver beard, his head was bald and he had blue horns growing from his forehead, showing he was probably a High Ice Giant, often considered as "noble families".

"Let us begin with the first topic of today. Lately there had been several disasters surrounding the south to the northwest area of the continent. The incident with the Black Shadow Sect was only one of them. Several villages had been found destroyed and burned, with none of their inhabitants alive. And there was a big invasion of corrupted Lizardmen in the Orange Duchy not so long ago. And some news we got a week ago about Heaven Port, who had suffered a disastrous Sea Monster attack followed by what people called as "Metallic Golems floating in the sky"…" The Court Master said.

Oh, those were all incidents I was involved into… Oops. I guess… Ah, they shouldn't know so much, right? I mean I am fairly sure I did over half of that undercover. I hope, and even if they saw us, its not like there's photos in this world, I should be safe.

"Are you not going to talk about the Vampire Family City we found some days ago? It was completely empty and destroyed, but Vampires were living there, it was very clear! We cannot let those live, if they escaped somewhere else, we should start a witch hunt right away!"

The Emperor of the Frost Emblem Empire spoke. He was an Ice Giant as well, tall, and muscular, with a long red mustache, while wearing armor resembling Chinese styled armor. He even had a large spear sheathed on his back. The strongest in here were all Rank 6 Peak Stage, and so was this man.

It was indeed a reunion of mortal bigshots.
