After the official wedding of Green, Fred also built a villa near the castle for Green, although it could not compare to the majestic look of the castle, it still looked impressive.
The president of the Adventurer's Guild, Sophia, also personally brought a group of horses to this place before departure.
Now, Green is basically considered the strongest human in the continent in the eyes of the public. Moreover, Green is also participating in their plan to mine the Larglang ore. Naturally, Sophia decides to focus on Green and take action.
Therefore, Green's status in the hearts of adventurers has greatly increased.
Apart from Green, who is a heavyweight figure, many of Sophia's trusted partners and members of other organizations are participating in this plan.
At the gate of the villa, before departure.
Aloof adjusted Green's collar and looked at Green with a caring gaze.
"If you can't get used to being outside, don't force yourself. You can come back anytime."
"Mhm."
Suddenly, Aloof gently kissed Green on the cheek.
The soft touch on the cheek was refreshing. Even though Green had already experienced it before, it still had a magical effect, making Green feel energized.
"Stay safe on the journey."
"Don't worry, you all know my strength. Nothing will go wrong!"
"We'll be waiting too!"
Green confidently gestured with his arm, and Tia and the others couldn't help but rush forward. Each of them left a kiss, experiencing a blissful moment akin to heaven.
"Alright, alright. I won't be gone for long. Maybe I'll be back tonight. Make dinner and wait for me at home!"
After saying these words, Green bid farewell to Aloof and the others and walked towards the team waiting nearby.
When Green arrived at the team, all the participants of this mission had already gathered. Although Green arrived last, these people not only had no complaints, but excitement gleamed in their eyes.
"Look! That's the king of Green Kingdom, Lord Green, right? He actually came!"
"I once saw him from a distance on the street. I'm sure it's him. Lord Green really came to participate in this mission!"
"With Lord Green here, I feel much more at ease. Hahaha!"
Sophia heard everyone's reaction and smiled calmly, then walked towards Green.
Green had some impression of Sophia, a female member of the cat tribe and the president of the Adventurer's Guild. Although he was not sure about her strength, being able to use Larglang stone meant she must have exceptional abilities.
And Sophia had a deep impression of Green.
When they first met in the Kingdom of Zion, she thought Green was just an ordinary adventurer, but soon after, she was proven wrong. She still remembered the giant crater Green created.
"Lord Green, is there anything else you need to prepare?"
"No. When do we depart?"
Green casually replied while surveying the number of people present. Not many, probably just a dozen or so. Judging by their temperament, they were probably influential figures from various walks of life. Ordinary people wouldn't have the qualifications to participate in such an operation.
"We depart now."
Afterwards, Sophia briefly introduced the people at the scene to Green, and then the team began to move towards the city gate.
However, just as they walked out of the city gate, Sophia suddenly quickened her pace and separated from the group. She took out a small item from her pocket and blew on it, producing a slightly piercing sound.
While Green was wondering what Sophia was doing, he suddenly felt something in the sky and looked up. He saw several huge birds descending from the sky.
The birds landed quickly, and their enormous wings caused a gust of wind.
"Are these Lady Sophia's griffins? I can't believe I have the chance to observe them up close!"
"Come to think of it, I was curious before. The Southern Continent is so far away. How do we get there? Could it be..."
Hearing the discussions, Sophia nodded. The griffins beside her also lowered their heads affectionately, allowing Sophia to caress them. They didn't appear to be aggressive.
After getting a closer look at the appearance of the Gryphon, Green realized that such creatures existed in this world, which he had never heard of before.
Excitedly, everyone climbed onto the back of the enormous Gryphon. Green, wanting to experience the feeling, approached the Gryphon. However, just as Green took a few steps forward, the Gryphon suddenly trembled and spread its wings as it moved backwards.
"Um, does that mean it doesn't like me?" Green asked.
Sophia quickly explained, "It's probably not that. They might just be scared. These little guys are very timid, especially around powerful people."
"Little guys... Well then, I'll move in my own way."
Suppressing the urge to comment, Green looked around and quickly reached out for a gigantic rock nearby.
Everyone looked on curiously as Green made his move. Suddenly, a white light emanated from Green's palm, followed by a swift cutting motion of his hand. The rock in the distance split perfectly in half.
Green then raised his hand again and made a few more movements, cutting out a rectangular slab.
Everyone was astonished. They never expected Green to have such terrifying control.
Green pulled the slab towards him, and it flew to his feet. He then stepped onto it.
A faint white light flickered across the slab as it rose into the air.
Only then did Green notice that everyone around him was looking at him in amazement. He scratched his head, feeling a bit puzzled.
"Shall we go?"
"Uh...yes, let's go!"
The group realized they had been too focused on Green and his actions, and had unintentionally acted strangely.
Since there weren't many Gryphons, two or three people sat on each Gryphon, which was large enough to carry the weight without any trouble.
Green, however, sat cross-legged on the slab, at the rear of the Gryphon team.
Compared to the swaying seats on the Gryphon, Green's slab was much steadier. In fact, he even fell asleep on it without any issues – which he did.
To match the speed of the Gryphon team and the difficulty of communication in mid-air, this was the best way to pass the time.
Seeing Green lying on the slab made the onlookers a little worried. They could tell that the slab only flew under Green's control, and they worried that he might fall off.
When they looked down, they trembled at the height they were currently at.
However, after a long time, the slab under Green remained stable. Gradually, everyone's worry dissipated, and they stopped paying attention to Green.
In reality, sitting on the back of a Gryphon was thrilling at first, but soon the discomfort became apparent.
Firstly, the Gryphon's large body would inevitably sway during flight, which could make people uncomfortable and even fall if they didn't hold on tight. After all, Gryphons were living creatures, just like humans – who knew if they might suddenly doze off and fall?
The only commendable aspect was the speed.
Speaking of speed, the Gryphon's speed was indeed extremely fast.
Before long, they couldn't even see the silhouette of the royal capital anymore.
Along the way, the group took breaks and occasionally encountered some wild monsters, but with many experts present, there was no need for Green to intervene.
At this pace, it took about three days for them to finally see the outline of the icy continent.
"We're finally here! Sitting on the Gryphon these past few days has made me so uncomfortable! But I have to admit, your speed is impressive, haha!"
"When we go back, we'll need their help again, so it's better to get used to it as soon as possible."
"Ah, you're right..."
In reality, Green could have reached this place in a very short time, but since nobody asked for his help, he didn't bother to offer.
After another period of travel, the southern continent came into view.
The current situation is no different from when Green came before. It is still a vast expanse of white, and staring at it for too long can be uncomfortable for most people's eyes.
Even before landing, everyone could feel the extreme coldness.
Preliminary estimation suggests that the edge of this icy continent is no less cold than a harsh winter.
Facing this situation, Sophia was well prepared.
Although the clothes on everyone's bodies look no different from ordinary clothes, they were specially made by the personnel of the Magic Guild at Sophia's request. The additional magic on them allows them to maintain a normal body temperature even in extreme environments.
Even in the face of the icy continent, they could stay there for a long time.
However, just as everyone was about to fly over this continent and cross the ocean to reach the opposite icy continent, the griffins suddenly slowed down and eventually landed smoothly on the ground.
Sophia quickly jumped off the griffin and explained to the confused crowd, "These little guys can't withstand the temperature there, so they can only bring us here. However, we have powerful ice mages among us, and coincidentally, this environment is also suitable for using ice magic. Let's rest here and walk over from the water's surface after recuperating."
"I see, I understand now. Let's set off after resting then."
Green did not express his opinion and stopped here with the others, while the griffins patiently awaited instructions nearby.
Soon everyone finished resting and checked that everything was in order. They came to the water's edge, ready for the ice mages in the group to create an ice path to cross.
However, they quickly discovered that the water's surface had already frozen.
"It's really..."
Someone stomped on the ice surface a few times and found that the hardness of the ice surface far exceeded expectations. It was estimated that there were ice blocks several tens of meters below the sea level. They frowned immediately.
The ice mage in the team also observed the ice surface and found something abnormal.
"I just probed a bit, and even after going down a hundred meters, it is still ice. According to reason, the temperature here should not be enough for the sea to freeze to this extent."
"Yes, it is indeed strange."
"The snow on the icy continent accumulates year-round and never melts. That in itself is already strange, so it's probably influenced by that to become like this."
"It seems to be the case..."
After discussing for a while, everyone no longer dwelled on the abnormality here. After all, there are many strange things in the world, and one more doesn't matter.
Green didn't express an opinion and continued to move forward with the decision of the others. However, after stepping on the ice surface, a breath suddenly flashed in his perception, but in the next moment, it disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before.
"What happened?"
Seeing Green stop, Sophia, who noticed, casually asked. Green shook his head lightly and continued forward.
"It's nothing."
It was probably just an illusion.
Green thought so and didn't pay too much attention to it.
