After dawn in Dry City, Minos and his two wives quickly gave their parting words to those closest to them.

There were not only the core of the local administration, but several high-ranking soldiers, allies, vassals, and many women who played with Minos.

Mirya, Viola, Elen, Elena, Brooke, Regina, and Mendy, in short, were all there to say goodbye to this man they would not be able to see for some years.

But since Minos had taken such good care of each of them in the past weeks, they could not complain about the situation. But not only that, most of them had already lived much longer than him, so this period of his absence would not be so long for them.

That was especially true for Mirya, who had gone years without action due to her past injuries.

Hence, besides being a little depressed internally, they had smiles on their faces as they said goodbye to this fellow.

They hoped that time would fly by in this period and that he would return even stronger so that he could have the peace of mind to remain in Dry City.

But they knew that time would undoubtedly run since they had to keep getting stronger, and there were many things to improve on the Black Plain.

And with the improvements Minos would surely bring, they could not help but look at the glorious future ahead of them and ease their feminine feelings.

On the other hand, Emlyn was there to say goodbye to her beloved daughter, who would be away from her mother for the first time since her birth.

“OK, OK! You can stop now, mom!” Kyla barked in her language as she felt her mother’s tongue wiping her face.

“Obey your big brother, and don’t do anything silly!” Emlyn advised her daughter as she sniffed that ‘little’ creature.

“OK…”

Seeing this, Minos finished saying goodbye to the local leaders and waved to Gavin, who was watching all this from afar.

“Come on! Time to go!” He commented to his wives as he signaled them to climb on Maida’s back.

Meanwhile, Kyla turned away from her mother and prepared to run side by side with that giant black-furred tigress.

“Big brother, I’m sorry I can’t fly yet…” Kyla said in a low voice, but without showing much guilt.

Minos massaged Kyla’s large head and said. “Don’t worry, traveling by land isn’t bad. It will give us opportunities to see and feel many things.”

And with that, Minos stood behind Ruth, hugging this woman who was behind Gloria.

The three looked back and waved their hands just before those two beasts began to run southward.

Seeing that, Dillian sighed, seeing the day that Minos would go to the Flaming Empire finally come.

“Sigh…”

“He’s finally doing it.” The butler muttered as he remembered his old master.

Originally Albert and Maisie’s plan was to let Minos grow up in the northern region of the Central Continent, a peaceful and safe place… And then, when he was an adult and had cultivated to a certain level, they would take him to the Flaming Empire, where he could grow up with his mother’s family.

But things had turned out a little differently than planned!

Minos was leaving much later than Albert and Maisie had planned, and he had a power many times greater than they thought would be necessary for this moment.

And seeing all this, the butler Dillian could not help but nostalgically sigh, wondering what it would be like if Albert were still there.

“How strong will they be when they return?” Eda asked as she had one of her arms around his left arm.

Dillian replied, still looking in the direction from where Minos had already disappeared. “Probably strong enough to fight Spiritual Saints without fusions…”

“What about Abby? I didn’t even get the chance to say goodbye to her… I wonder how she will be after she wakes up?” She sighed as she thought of her former young miss in the Miller family days.

“She will be fine. Who knows, maybe she’ll become more talented and even come back with an heir in her belly…” He laughed.

Everyone knew that the difference in talent between husband and wife made conception difficult.

And it was not for nothing that, of all Minos’ wives, the one who had become pregnant first had been the one with the closest characteristics to his!

With this line of reasoning, Dillian thought that when she finished absorbing her inheritance, Abby would be more compatible with Minos and perhaps finally get the gift of becoming pregnant!

Since she was the queen, her children would naturally be the first heirs of the Black Plain, an essential thing to have in any state.

“That would be great… But I think you must worry about babies in another belly, honey.” She laughed as she said that since they had been trying to conceive themselves.

“We’ll take care of that when we get home. I still have some time before my shift starts…” He whispered in one of his wife’s ears.

…

In the blink of an eye, four weeks had passed…

At this point, Abby was still in the Spatial Kingdom in her unconscious state. But after all this time, Minos knew that it would not take long for her to awaken, as the glowing cloud in her surroundings had almost disappeared by now.

And while she was absorbing her inheritance, Minos and his other wives had crossed the entire Black Plain and Cromwell Kingdom, finally reaching the border of that region with Vogel!

They had not wasted much time on this first part of their journey since there were no challenges in the Cromwell Kingdom for them, and they already knew this place. So, they traveled quickly, and only Kyla enjoyed getting to know a new place on this part of the trip.

However, even though this was the most peaceful part of the trip they had started, Ruth had managed to advance to level 62 during these days!

The region they had passed through was weaker than the Black Plain, but with the advantage of the Spatial Kingdom, everything had gone well for the three of them.

They not only rested and enjoyed themselves in a safe place during this period but also trained hard in that cultivation sanctuary.

They could do this since, with Maida, level 60, waiting for them outside the Spatial Kingdom, there were no dangers in traveling from that place to the northern region.

Thus, these first few days of travel were peaceful and fruitful for the trio of humans who were now preparing to enter Vogel!

“Are you ready?” Gloria looked at the two individuals behind her, smiling at Minos since this was his first time leaving the northern region.

Ruth nodded and looked at her man, happy to finally be heading toward the Flaming Empire, where Minos could meet her family.

Minos answered Gloria. “Yes, let’s go. I want to see what we’ll find outside the northern region.”

“Hehe, probably not much…” Gloria laughed. “That’s true, at least for the moment.”

“Once we advance some 300 kilometers south, we will indeed be in Vogel, a high-level kingdom!”

A boundary line did not simply separate a strong and weak place, where on one side were Spiritual Kings and on the other, Saints.

No, the border was simply a cartographic division used to facilitate the administration of the territories.

In practice, the first few kilometers on either side of the borders of these two states and others were always similar, and there was no way anyone could find powerful beings there.

And indeed, after entering Vogel, Minos only found an area of strength equivalent to the one he had left in the northern region.

But that would soon change!
