The teleportation array, as one of the top three influential techniques in the history of spellcraft and ether studies, has played a significant role in the evolution of the Empire.

If it were not for the terrifying ether vortex swirling around the Celestial Path mountains range, which made it impossible to establish a stable spatial passage, the Empire would have long since launched a large-scale invasion to the west, unifying the continent.

This practical spell allows Ansel, who is far in the north, to arrive in the western country in an instant, or any place in the Empire. In comparison, although the transportation system of that world is astonishing, it still cannot be compared with the extraordinary on a higher level.

However, given the pace of development in that world, it is unclear whether something similar to the teleportation array will emerge.

A millennium…

Ansel sighed in his heart.

The Empire’s millennium is but a silence in the stagnant water named extraordinary, with occasional ripples, but almost no progress.

But a millennium in that world could bring about drastic changes that Ansel could not even imagine.

“Ansel… Ansel!”

Seraphina’s call brought Ansel back from his contemplation. The girl waved her hand in front of Ansel’s eyes, “What are you daydreaming about?”

Ansel took Seraphina’s hand and smiled, “Just thinking about some things… Are you ready? Don’t be nervous.”

Seraphina’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she touched the collar around her neck with some glee, clearing her throat, “Of course, it’s just the imperial capital, what’s there to be nervous about!”

Ansel and Seraphina will go to the imperial capital first. After the maids have packed up Ansel’s belongings, most of them will return to the Hydral territory, while a small number of maids who have served Ansel for many years will follow Ansel and continue to serve him in the Hydral family’s mansion in the imperial capital.

Marlina will also come to the imperial capital after handling the final handover procedures, following closely behind Ansel.

As the light of the teleportation array lit up, Ansel turned his head to look at Seraphina, seeing the girl who was just saying there was nothing to be nervous about, now almost writing nervousness on her face.

Ansel couldn’t help but laugh, and said in a relaxed tone, “Seraphina, do you know the usage rate of the imperial capital’s teleportation array?”

“I’m not nervous, I’m not nervous, I… ah?”

Seraphina, who kept muttering “I’m not nervous” almost bit her tongue, and stammered, “Wha- what usage rate?”

“There are a total of thirty-six teleportation arrays set up in the entire imperial capital, and the teleportation fee is more than ten times the normal fee.”

“Even so, using the teleportation array of the imperial capital still requires at least a week to half a month’s advance reservation.”

“Even the teleportation arrays specifically for high-ranking individuals and extraordinary beings often require reservations.”

As Ansel said this, he reached out and straightened Seraphina’s inner collar, “But we don’t have to, Seraphina.”

The young Hydral looked at the wolf lady who was about to accompany him on a new journey, and said:

“Because I am Hydral, because you are my pact head.”

“If I need something, countless people will rush to offer with both hands; if I dislike something, countless people will also scramble to completely eliminate it.”

“Even in that city, no one would dare to provoke you, say half a word against you, and if there is —”

The Empire’s biggest villain laughed happily:

“Then I now grant you the power to act at will, to crush, destroy, and annihilate anything you see as an enemy.”

His voice was so gentle, yet it was filled with a power that made Seraphina’s heart surge.

The girl was no longer nervous, she grabbed Ansel’s hand and rubbed it against her cheek, comfortably squinting her eyes, “I know, Ansel… but I won’t do that!”

She playfully and confidently stuck out her tongue at Ansel, “I’m not the kind of person who bullies others with power, what’s the difference between that and a noble. Besides, I’m sure I won’t cause trouble casually anymore!”

Ansel smiled and patted her head, “Then let’s set off.”

“Yes!”

Seraphina responded with a high spirit, and walked into the light of the teleportation array shoulder to shoulder with Ansel.

In the chaotic spatial transfer, the two arrived in an extremely luxurious room in an instant. When Seraphina came back to her senses, she looked at the room full of gold and magic crystal twinkles, and her just propped up spirit instantly drained by more than half.

She had never seen so much gold in her life —except for the treasury of the Red Frost Manor. But-but that’s a treasury! Isn’t this just a teleportation room? Is it necessary to make it so luxurious?

“Honorable Lord Hydral.”

A very pleasant female voice suddenly sounded in the room, “Welcome to the City of Celestia, may I ask, is there anything I can do for you?”

“A carriage to the Hydral Manor, prepare the best dishes of this season from the Epicurean Haven, for two.”

Ansel sat down on the sofa in the room leisurely, comfortably stretching his body, “Call me when you’re ready.”

“Everything as you wish, honorable Lord Hydral.”

After the woman’s voice disappeared, Seraphina looked around the room a little uneasily and sat down next to Ansel.

“What was that voice?” she couldn’t help asking.

“Just a receptionist, is it strange?”

“Well, not really, but…”

Seraphina hesitated, then stopped.

Although most people in Red Frost City have to respect her, Seraphina has never been treated so attentively.

“Rather than that — ” Ansel suddenly grabbed Seraphina’s hand, and with a shout of surprise from the girl, he held her in his arms.

“The Epicurean Haven wouldn’t dare to keep me waiting, but to make good enough dishes, it also takes some time.”

The wicked Hydral whispered in the ear of Seraphina, whose body was gradually softening, “Want to do something you like, Seraphina?”
