When Kreya heard Kane’s words, a long-lost blush crept up her face once more.

"Oh!! Baby! Baby!"

Instead, when Lirulu heard Kane’s words, a bell stick immediately appeared in her hand, and she started jumping around wildly, shaking the bell in her hand.

Though she didn’t know why, Lirulu was overjoyed and celebrated beside them upon hearing that Kane and Kreya were preparing to have a child.

She shook the bell in her hand while continuously singing a rhyme.

It was as if she was instigating something, yet also celebrating.

"Sister Kreya! Baby!"

"Mmm hmm ah..."

Just as she was about to say the second line, Lirulu found her mouth wrapped in black and white flames, struggling in the air.

Apart from Lirulu.

A few heads poked out from the doors surrounding the hall.

"Did you hear that just now?" A voice was exceptionally faint.

"I heard it. It seems like His Majesty wants to have a child."

"Having a little baby would be so cute."

"How do little babies come to be? Popping out from a rock?"

"You fool! That’s impossible. I heard they are born from the condensation of moonlight."

A few Moon’s Children were poking their heads out at the door, discussing.

"Bang!"

The hall doors closed automatically, under Kreya’s manipulation.

Kreya’s head leaned against Kane’s chest, not wanting Kane to see her face.

Even though Kreya’s expression wasn’t visible now, her shyness was evident from her ears and the steam rising from them.

Kane watched this scene, smiling warmly. How long had it been since he last saw Kreya’s shy expression?

"Why did you suddenly say such a thing?"

Kreya’s voice, as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, reached Kane’s ears.

"And... weren’t the times before... intending to have a child?"

As she said this, Kreya’s voice began to falter.

Hearing this, Kane smiled as he lowered his head, leaning close to Kreya’s ear.

In a gentle whisper, he said, "Of course they do, but we just haven’t worked hard enough yet."

Kane felt Kreya’s hands grasping tightly at the fabric of his shirt.

"Then, you’ll have to work harder in the future."

Hearing this, Kane’s face beamed with a smile. He reached out to embrace Kreya, and the two vanished from the spot.

"Mmm! Mmm hmm!...!"

In the entire hall, only Lirulu remained, her mouth sealed and struggling in the air.

Lirulu was still there! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Lirulu was still there!

Her silent cry echoed through the entire hall.

......

Morning.

In the Guild Hall.

Amis was stretching lazily, having breakfast with his teammates at a table in the hall.

His teammate Chase was looking at the World Ring magazine suddenly set on the counter.

"Is the new issue out?"

Hearing his words, the group turned their heads.

Philis flew over immediately, then promptly bought a few magazines and flew back.

"Everyone, look! This issue has big news."

Philis’s voice was filled with astonishment, catching the attention of the other guild members around.

"Big news? What big news?"

"Did something major happen?"

"Why not just go next door and buy a copy?"

The guild members inquired as some arrived at the counter, ready to flip through the new issue.

"Platinum Country feature?!"

These words set off waves of excitement, with members eating breakfast crowding over.

Someone picked up a magazine and began reading beside them.

Fortunately, Adoma had the foresight to have the small crocodile outside buy more this time.

Philis already brought her magazine to her teammates’ side.

The group immediately began flipping through.

Amis was browsing through the latest issue and the features on Platinum Country, which didn’t involve any secrets.

"How strange, we haven’t seen any explorers coming to Platinum Country recently, so how do they know it in such detail?"

The descriptions here were already quite detailed, roughly explaining Platinum Country’s location and area.

Then it introduced several cities in Platinum Country and the significant impact it has on its surroundings now.

It was as if an explorer had specifically come to Platinum Country to evaluate and fully understand all aspects.

They only occasionally met some explorers when riding ocean liners in the World Ring’s middle ring.

They almost never encountered them in the outer ring.

As for what danger being exposed to explorers might bring to Platinum Country, Amis wasn’t worried at all.

Because recently, he heard from Longbei that Kane and the others have all advanced to the color level.

They’ve reached a level far beyond reach.

With five tri-color levels, Platinum Country can be said to be as solid as a rock.

It might even be that in the Mist Council’s survey of Platinum Country, on the new map their Platinum Country has already been marked.

Rock flipped through the magazine in hand and looked at the Lamp Mark on his arm.

"After this, if we meet people outside, we might become famous."

After all, due to the function of the Lantern Mark, almost all members place the mark in areas that are easily accessible with both hands.

Hearing his teammate’s words, Amis just chuckled, "I didn’t expect that one day we’d also become people referred to as part of a major power?"

But for them, this would only be a good thing.

It’s always cooler under a big tree’s shade.

"Alright, enough of that, I’m going to check today’s assignments."

Amis said as he walked over to the notice board next to the guild.

Looking at the notice board, about two-thirds of it was already densely and neatly posted with one assignment after another.

All of these were assignments from the Platinum Country.

Missions like these, of course, stay within the family, so they are first posted within the Lantern Guild.

After all, although the population of the Platinum Country is now vast, there are no Explorers, and most capable individuals are various kinds of soldiers.

The new batch of capable youngsters hasn’t been trained yet.

This has led to quite a few vacancies during this period.

So ever since they returned from exterminating the undead, they became even busier after the founding of the Platinum Country.

These assignments are either framed in gold or silver, representing the target and difficulty of the task.

Although guild members are all of the golden level, sometimes everyone wants to relax and would take on silver assignments as a sort of holiday.

This time, Amis and his team had rested for a while and were ready to get active again, so after checking, he tore two sheets from the notice board and returned to his seat.

He then handed one of the two assignment sheets to Chase beside him.

"Let’s split into two teams, I’ll be with Rock, and you three will form another team."

The others had no objections to Amis’ arrangement and nodded in agreement.

After all, their small team members were all of golden rank now, and these two assignments weren’t particularly challenging, so to improve efficiency and not waste manpower,

splitting into two teams was the most sensible choice.

Not just them; most people in the guild did the same.

Some would even take turns going out to accept tasks.

Once everything was distributed, Amis quickly finished the breakfast on his plate and disappeared with his teammates from where they stood.

They reappeared in a small villa within the City of Two Realms, the external capital of the Platinum Country.

This was a residence allocated by Kane exclusively for guild members.

Once outside,

Amis took out the assignment sheet and then retrieved the Magic Mirror from his Space Equipment, touching the two together briefly.

The golden edge of the assignment sheet vanished, leaving the content blank.

The Magic Mirror emitted a beeping sound.

"Task accepted, employer notified."

Seeing the message from the Magic Mirror, Amis nodded his head.

He then operated the Magic Mirror, which displayed a holographic map.

Beside him, Chase was doing the same with his assignment sheet.

"We’re about ready; let’s head out."

Upon saying that, the team opened the villa’s door and walked out.

They greeted the neighbors as they went.

Almost every resident here was part of the founding team of the Platinum Country, so everyone was very familiar with each other.

They arrived outside on the street.

A vehicle resembling a dragonfly’s body was parked by the roadside.

It bore a golden V symbol.

Amis and the others walked straight in.

The interior was spacious, not with separate seats but seating areas like sofas on either side.

There was no driver’s seat, only passenger seating.

It could likely accommodate at least eight people at once.

After Amis and the others boarded, a synthesized voice sounded.

"Passengers, please state your destination."

Hearing this, Amis turned to Chase and the others. "How are you planning to get there?"

"Our assignment starts in the afternoon. We’ve got plenty of time, so we’re planning to take the train. I heard a new train model has been built recently; I’d like to experience it."

Hearing this, Amis nodded, then spoke to the air, "First to the nearest Teleportation Point, then to the station."

"Destination set, please fasten your seatbelts."

After a brief pause,

the vehicle, resembling a dragonfly’s body, shot out two seemingly lightweight Steel Wings from its back.

Magic Power illuminated in flashes above, and the vehicle took off into the air.

Hovering at a height of 50 meters, the lightweight wings flapped rapidly, propelling them toward their destination.

These public transport vehicles were operated by Intelligent Cores manufactured by Kane.

They handled the automated navigation well, reducing the probability of accidents.

From a height of 50 meters, one could see quite a few of these dragonfly-themed flying vehicles, occasionally spotting them as they flew past.

Amis looked at the city below through a nearby window.

"It hasn’t been long, but it feels like the City of Two Realms has expanded yet again."

"It’s quite normal. Forget just the City of Two Realms, the entire Platinum Country is expanding crazily."

They chatted casually, passing time during the journey.

The vehicle was swift, and after a few minutes, everyone felt it stop and begin to descend.

Below them was a small Teleportation Station.

After Amis and Rock disembarked, they bid farewell to their companions above.

The Teleportation Station ahead followed a style resembling a portal made up of seemingly crushed stones.

They informed the Intelligent Core nearby of their destination, and the stones formed into a Teleportation Gate.

Subsequently, they directly traveled through the Teleportation Station to the Rescue Harbor.

This time, their mission was to escort a ship on a journey expected to take more than 10 days.

Due to having to pass through some dangerous seas, the guild had retained powerful members for this assignment.
