As Minos prepared for his trip to the Kingdom of the Waves, in a town northeast of the Brown Kingdom, a couple talked as they lay in bed.

It was nighttime by this time, and the two had just finished their daily activities of wife and husband, being at this moment resting in each other's arms.

The two people were covered with a silvery silk sheet as they breathed rapidly, and beads of sweat fell from their foreheads.

The woman was on top of the man, resting her head on his chest, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Other than that, the only outstanding feature of these two was their hair. In addition to being very smooth, it was completely blue.

And while they were chatting about their recent activities in a large and elegant room, they eventually began to talk about other subjects, more serious ones.

"We recently received some disturbing news from the Kingdom of the Waves... Unfortunately, it looks like things are going to get tumultuous there soon.

" The man said as he stared at the ceiling of his room.

"Hmm, has the family already decided which side to take?

" His wife asked as she looked away and massaged her husband's chest.

"No, but that younger prince seems to be the most promising. However, he is already receiving support from the Silva family. In this case, if we take his side, our situation will not change at all in that region.

" He stopped for a moment and sighed.

It was unfortunate for the Miller family that they hadn't been so quick and let the Silva family ally themselves with the younger prince before them. Even now, if young Abby's family were to join this prince, they would at best be on a par with their competitors, the Silvas.

But there would be no point in such a thing. Either the Millers got into it to gain something extra, or it wouldn't be worth supporting that prince even if he is the one with the best chances of winning.

"So, I think we'll have to support one of the other two, or we'll stay out of this situation.

" He concluded.

Between supporting the loser and not supporting anyone, surely the second option would be the best. In it, even if there were no gains, there would undoubtedly be no losses, and the doors would still be open in the future...

"I see...

" The woman sighed in defeat, realizing the downside of this situation for them.

"It would have been better if none of this happened, but unfortunately...

"

After seeing his wife's disappointed look, the man closed his eyes for a moment as he hugged her waist. He then remembered something.

"Speaking of which, will Abby be okay? We received a letter from bodyguard Eda saying that the two were going to the Kingdom of the Waves to train.

"

This couple, of course, is the parents of Minos' young friend Abby.

Abby's father was called Eliot Miller, level 54. As for her mother, she was already at level 50, and her name was Nicole Miller. Both are elders in the Miller family, and Abby's father even held a seat on the council of this great noble family!

Finally, upon hearing Eliot's comment, Nicole was reminded of the information she had reached them a few weeks ago. She had naturally found Abby's sudden departure to train while traveling through the Kingdom of the Waves a bit strange.

But Abby was already an adult. So, it was natural that she wanted to see other places, especially after the Spiritual Tournament. Moreover, her best friend had managed to join a sect in this event, while Minos' young friend had not.

Losing her training partner and friend, plus the fact that Mona had moved to a place where she could cultivate even faster, could have pushed Abby to go out and live.

At least that was more or less what Nicole thought. 'Ahh, I hope little Abby isn't trying too hard…' She wailed in her mind.

Although they saw each other very little due to the elder's responsibilities and the cultivation, Abby's mother still saw Minos' friend as a child. As a result, Nicole felt a pang in her heart, knowing that her daughter was so far away from home.

She then said.

"I wish she wouldn't do something like that right now, but if that's what she wants, we have to support her. And considering little Abby's personality, I doubt she'll get involved in these matters of the Kingdom of the Waves.

"

"Then there is probably no great danger for her.

" Even though she worried, Abby's mother trusted her daughter a lot. This young woman had always been intelligent and still had Eda on her side.

With that, unless it was something very extreme, there shouldn't be any situation to put Abby at risk. At least the chances of something like this happening would be as great as anywhere.

In other words, it wouldn't make much difference if Abby was making this trip on the Kingdom of the Waves, Brown Kingdom, or anywhere else in the region.

"Hmm, it makes sense. And Eda was already at the limit of level 48 when I last saw her, so she will be able to protect Abby very well.

"

After that, the couple talked more about these and other things until they finally went back to their job of trying to give Abby a baby brother...

As members of a large family, it was their duty to continue the family lineage!

...

While Nicole and Eliot were trying to make babies at the Miller family headquarters, Elena and Elen were arriving on the Dry City at this time!

The two of them had traveled all the way here in the past few weeks, stopping only to rest occasionally.

And as expected by Elen, they hadn't had any difficulties on their trip regarding the persecution of those spies of the Allen family.

These people had lost these two traces and would not be able to find the few clues left by them, where the two stopped to rest. With this, they travel with relative ease, only having taken care not to pass through dangerous places, home of powerful spiritual beasts.

But that hadn't been difficult, as the Nash family had many resources, such as local maps of the Kingdom of the Waves.

As a merchant power and because this state is the largest in the northern region of the Central Continent, Elen's family naturally attached much more importance to this place, and for this reason, they had several maps of it.

So, Elen managed to reach the Dry City using her advantages without going through any great adventures and dangers.

Anyway, the two young friends were at this moment in a giant bird, decreasing the altitude little by little, while they saw the lights of the Dry City from above.

The city was already very well lit now. In addition, several public buildings received special lighting, making them unique and easy to see even from the two girls' altitudes.

And the two young blondes couldn't help but see that with expressions of surprise, seeing the size of this town and how nice the place looked from above.

'This place has probably absorbed the entire population of the Yellow City…' Elen thought to herself as she considered the situation.

She had seen the Dry City for the last time before she and the group of Minos had gone to the Yellow City to settle the affairs of that time. So, she was naturally once again impressed by the local changes.

Even though she already knew a lot because of Eduard, seeing it all with her own eyes was a completely new experience.

And for Elena, she didn't know what the Dry City was like before, so she could only be pleased to see that the place didn't look bad. In fact, from what she could see from afar, this place, although small, seemed to have a structure similar to what one would see in a big city.

For this reason, she was naturally satisfied by the reality of this place.

And it didn't take long for the bird to land in the inner region of the city wall, in a place not far from the city nor the wall.

The wall had only a few points of light, so naturally, they hadn't noticed this building in the middle of the dark of night.
