"Five years ago, when I crossed the lake for the first time, I felt a very strong aura revealed from the bottom of the lake, and after five years, I crossed the lake again, but I didn't feel the terrible power that made people tremble from the bottom of my heart at that time. Maybe it was the dragon at the bottom of the lake that was gasping for breath, but now it was sleeping again. ”

Ilt looked at the bottom of the dark lake and said to himself.

"The dragon is just a legend, the power you feel is likely to be the power of the ore magnetic field at the bottom of the lake, the Star Lake has never been mined due to the protection of the enchantment, so the bottom of the lake has gathered high-quality ore for hundreds of years, maybe the stock of rare ore is also considerable, so the magnetic field at the bottom of the lake has always been very strong, and it often affects the cultivation of the mages of the royal capital."

Tia explained.

"Then how do you explain why you can't feel that power now?"

Ilt tugged at the problem's pigtails,

"The magicians of the royal capital have been trying to seal this power, maybe someone has succeeded."

Ilt shrugged his shoulders and didn't comment, for him, the ore was fascinating, but the dragon at the bottom of the lake fascinated him even more.

After a long float, Alan and the others finally reached the other side of the lake.

"Can't this barrier be unraveled?"

Eren wasn't used to the feeling of the enchantment, and always felt a little restrained, especially in order to make room for Ilte's chocobo and Ressa, Tia was so close to him, and from time to time he would feel the fullness of Tia's chest rubbing against him. There is no place to put your hands and not to say, young boys and girls will always blush and heartbeat.

"Not yet, this place is still within the boundaries of the Star Lake, and the living creatures will definitely be shot down by the barrier as a foreign object, so they can't walk now, and my None of the Barrier is the same as the one used by the Temple of the Nothing, so we can move around here freely now. When we are truly out of the bounds of the barrier, we will be truly safe. ”

Continuing to endure the "torture", he finally flew out of the range of the barrier of the Star Lake, and Tia recited the prayer and put away the barrier. The group finally set foot on the confines of the royal capital.

The royal capital, whose full name is Athenia, is located southwest of Nature's Star and is one of the five major cities on the continent of Areste.

To the north is the city of Odaheim, separated by a beautiful star lake, and to the west is a dense oasis that to the west is the Nazriya Desert, which stretches to the south of the royal capital, keeping everything in the desert firmly out.

To the east is the port of Gale, the largest seaport on the continent of Aurelaste, where all trade takes place.

There are two entrances and exits in the royal capital, one is the port of 'Gale', which is mostly filled by merchants who come to do business, and generally do not stay for a long time.

The other is the north gate facing the Star Lake, which is called the 'Gate of Hope' by the people of Odaheim and the royal capital, because although the king has not opened the gate to accept outsiders, as long as he can pass through this 'Gate of Hope', his life will be changed, and the royal capital is such a place with magical magic.

In the royal capital, Tia is a crucial presence as a leader. Why? Because the population of the royal capital is basically a constant value, all newborn babies or dead old people will be recorded in the population register, and all foreign populations, unless they have a pass given by the king, or are directly led by a high-ranking person, it is impossible to enter the royal capital peacefully. Whether it is the guards outside the city, or the knights and mercenaries inside the city, they will do everything in their power to crusade against foreign invaders.

Therefore, the king's decree held by Tia became their greatest helper in their unhindered passage.
