The road to the royal city was a long one, as Akasu and Master lived in a city-state called the Snowy Mountain City, just north of the Kingdom of Time. Outside of the snow-capped mountain city-states, there are seven other city-states surrounding the royal city. They are: the Castle of Sunshine in the east, the Castle of Thunder in the southeast, the Castle of Flame in the southwest, the Castle of Thousand Lakes in the southwest, the Moonlight Castle in the west, the Castle of the Sand Sea in the northwest, and the Forest Castle in the northeast. These eight city-states are blessed by different gods, the city of snowy mountains is blessed by the goddess of snow-capped mountains, the city of sunlight is blessed by the god of light, the city of moonlight is blessed by the goddess of moonlight, the city of fire is blessed by the god of fire, the city of a thousand lakes is blessed by the god of water, the city of forests is blessed by the god of life, the city of sand and sea is blessed by the god of wind, and the city of thunder is blessed by the god of thunder and lightning. The eight gods who protect the city-state are the children of the god of time and the goddess of the earth. The eight city-states they protected were evenly distributed around the royal city, which was naturally separated by meandering rivers and majestic snow-capped mountains, and the eight city-states surrounded the royal city like eight petals clustered with stamens.

On this day, both Master and Akasu got up early and put on the most formal robes of time. The robes are a symbol of sacrifice and mage status in the Kingdom of Time. Akasu and Master's robes were pure black silk robes, with collars and sleeves embroidered with the most beautiful gold threads. The chest of the robe is embroidered with a colorful lotus flower, each color symbolizes a city-state, and the eight-petal lotus flower is clustered around the middle of time**, and in the middle is a staff - the staff of time sacrifice, symbolizing the supreme authority of the god of time.

Master and Akasu traveled to the royal city in a car called "Fei'er", which could run on the ground or fly in the air. Master told Akasu that although the cart looked like it was moving on its own, it was actually pulled by an elf that was invisible to ordinary people. Like many other elves, this elven horse comes from the Moonlight City, and these are the secrets of the Time Kingdom. And these secrets are known only to the priests, mages, and royal families. Akasu sat on Fei'er, and the things on the earth began to move away from him, and in a moment the house was the size of a box. Akasu weaves through the clouds, goldfinches and larks fly by, the rivers wrap around the earth like jade belts, and the rice paddies glow like emeralds. About half an hour later, Akasu and Master flew to the territory of the royal city, and Fei'er landed smoothly on the avenue leading to the palace of the royal city at the gate of the city. On both sides of the outer city avenue are the streets and houses of the royal city, which are bustling with merchants from different city-states trading their wares. There are weapons from the City of Fire, pearls from the City of Thousand Lakes, spirit beasts from the City of Forests, and silk from the City of Moonlight, and the variety of transactions is dazzling.

The most interesting thing for Akasu is to sneak out with Lukis and wander around the Snow Mountain City Market, eating all kinds of snacks and looking at the strange goods brought by the foreign caravans. Archmage Bingley, Lukes's master, was a very serious man, and the expression on his face was colder than the rocks on the snowy mountains, and he could not speak more than three sentences when he saw someone. I heard Lukis say that his master spends most of the year practicing spells alone on the snowy mountains, and no one is allowed to disturb him. Therefore, Lukis could often run out to play with Akasu while his master was in retreat. Every time there was a caravan from outside the Snow Mountain City, Lukais would send his snow eagle to fly to Akasu's window to report the news, and Akasu would also take advantage of the master's drunkenness to sneak out of the back door to play with Lukais. Looking at the hustle and bustle of the city, Akasu wondered how good it would be for Rukes to be here. "Next time, I must quietly run to the royal city with Lukes to have fun, it is much more lively here than Snow Mountain City, it is better to call Tygur again, this guy has the most ghost ideas, and it is more interesting to have him." Thinking about his plans for the future, Akasu almost snickered out laughing. Akasu sat quietly next to his master while his mind was full of plans for how to play with Tygur and Rukis in the royal city next time.

Unconsciously, Fei'er began to drive slowly along the avenue in the direction of the palace. This is the rule of the Kingdom of Time, whether the royal family, princes, wealthy merchants, or commoners go to the palace to meet the court, they must reach the palace gate through the royal city avenue, and they are not allowed to fly to the palace, otherwise it will be considered a great disrespect to the king. This was the first time Akasu had entered the Palace of Time, and Master had given him some advice, including not to be naughty, to run around, and to have etiquette when meeting the king. Akasu didn't listen to anything, just echoed the master and nodded yes.

There are eight avenues leading to the palace, from which they will pass through the outer gates to the north and south squares of the palace. Just as Akasu was about to arrive at the palace square, he noticed a group of people coming in through the east gate, and at this time also arrived at the palace square. They were not flying in a car, but in a cart pulled by two golden dragons, whose scales glittered in the sunlight and were extremely powerful. "Hahaha, isn't it the high priest of Mosa, my luck is really good today, someone will be able to get drunk with me in a while. A short, stocky man in a golden robe, with a golden beard and a smiling smile, greeted the Akasu. "Oh?ha, it's Bron, it's really not easy to meet you, the archmage of the City of Daylight," the master lifted his robe, held the staff, and calmly got out of the car, and then greeted him warmly. In addition to the high priest of the royal city, each city-state in the Kingdom of Time has its own archmage, and these archmages have the unique magical power of each city-state, such as the mage of the god of the snowy mountain who can use ice and snow spells and can mobilize the creatures of the snowy mountain, who can understand the language of beasts, and the mage of the city of sunlight is in charge of all the power of light, etc.

The Bron Master met today is the Archmage of Sunlight City, and he is also the elder brother of the current ruling king, and the entire Kingdom of Time knows how this Bron is domineering. Akasu had seen him in the canyon north of the Great Snow Mountains two years earlier, when he and another mage seemed to be looking for something. The Great Snow Mountain is a place where Akasu often goes to play quietly, because Master said that Akasu was picked up in the Great Snow Mountain. He was always thinking that maybe his parents would be waiting for him somewhere around there, maybe one day he would find his life in the snowy mountains. The master had no choice but to take care of him, but the master was worried that he would encounter a beast on the snowy mountain, so he taught him the beast language and some spells to control the beast. That day, Akasu asked Rukais to play with the beasts on the snowy mountains, as usual. On the mountainside, they saw in the distance two mages in the canyon, looking for something. Intrigued by what the two mages were doing, they decided to follow them to find out. The two quietly lay on top of the two snow wolves, and Lukes also used the spell of the Ice Phantom to disguise Akasu and himself. Following them from afar, hearing them say something about the treasure of Sharjah, Akasu didn't understand what they were talking about, but Akasu was sure that they weren't good people. Because good people don't sneak around in other people's city-states to find treasure. While they were concentrating on their treasure hunt, a foraging snow bear spotted them. The Snow Bear roared at the enemies who had intruded into the territory and pounced. But before the snow bear could pounce on them, they saw a golden light from the palm of the mage of Sunlight City, and the snow bear was killed. He knew the snow bear he had killed, Akasu, and he knew that her name was Sally, the mother of three cubs, and that the northern radius of the snowy mountain was her territory. But this abominable Bron broke into the territory of the snow bear, not to mention that he also killed the owner of the territory, which is really cruel. Akasu wanted to go over to avenge Sally, but Rukis stopped him and signaled him not to go, the opponent's mana was too strong, and they would only be killed in the past. The two children lay quietly on the snow wolf's back, waiting until the two mages were gone. I saw the snow bear lying on the snow, with a fingernail-sized hole in the snow on its forehead, and the blood had been frozen because of the cold. Later, the two buried Sally the Snow Bear, and Lukes insisted on finding the three underage bears and bringing them back to raise.

Akasu didn't want to be with a hateful person like Bron, but the master beckoned him to come over at this time, and Akasu had no choice but to walk to them. "This is our future priest!hehe, I'm Master Bloom of Sunlight City, hello my little priest," Bloom greeted Akasu as he stroked his golden beard. "Hello Archmage Blonn, my name is Akasu. But I am not a small sacrifice, and there has never been a small sacrifice in the Kingdom of Time for tens of thousands of years. I am the future High Priest, the High Priest of the Great Kingdom of Time," Akasu replied unhurriedly. Master seemed satisfied with Akasu's answer, and looked at him smiling and nodding. "Haha, I said it wrong, you are the High Priest, please forgive me for my inappropriate words just now" Brown smiled and bowed in apology. "Don't worry about children, let's go into the palace," the master smiled and took Bron's hand and walked towards the palace. Bronn smiled and glanced at Akasu before following his master forward, but Akasu always felt a cold light flashing through his smile.

"Hello High Priest, the king knows that you are coming today, and he has sent me here to greet you, please follow me into the palace" One of the chamberlains had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time, and when he saw Akasu, they approached the palace gate and greeted him from afar. Follow the chamberlain through the palace square and through a palace gate to enter the inner city of the palace. Akasu found that entering the inner city was like entering another world. The inner city avenues are paved with smooth and beautiful jade, which leads to the Palace of Time. The inner city avenue is lined with beautiful meadows and lakes with strange and beautiful flowers, and the water of the lake is very clear, and the creatures playing in it can be seen very clearly. It is said that in case of rainy weather, the mist of the lake covers the entire inner city avenue, and it looks like a fairyland, so this inner city avenue leading to the palace is also called "Qingyun Road".

On the avenue, every hundred zhang you can see a platform made of white jade, and on each platform stands nine guards in black armor. Standing or lying next to the guards were the mounts of these palace guards, including the Flame Tiger, the Clouded Leopard of the Snowy Mountains, and even the Silver Bear of the Moonlight City. These spirit beasts are particularly powerful with tall palace guards.

At the end of the inner city avenue is the Palace of Time, which is built on a nine-zhang platform made of black boulders, and the roof of the palace is made of gold and glass, which shines golden in the sun. The windows of the palace are made of large pieces of crystal, and I heard from the master that you can see the sun, moon and stars clearly from the windows. From a distance, the entire palace looked like an ancient beast, exuding a simple and desolate atmosphere. The golden dome of the palace makes the surroundings as clear as a mirror, so that people cannot tell whether it is day or night.
