The night in Drogo Castle grew deeper, and the cold wind that pierced the skin blew through the area, keeping all the residents inside their homes.
But not Ash. He, who possessed the soul of the Frost Titan, was unaffected by the icy air, unlike Maya, who sat curled up in a thick blanket, sipping a warm cup of milk by the fireplace.
Jagu lay in front of the fire, but his eyes remained open, carefully watching Ash as he stepped out of his room.
Ash stopped right in front of Maya and spoke in a low voice, "We are leaving this place right now."
Maya looked at him in confusion, not blinking. "Where?"
Ash answered without hesitation, "Longhua Castle."
The name immediately caught Maya's attention. She stayed silent for a moment before asking, "This is about my quest, isn't it?"
Ash nodded. "Yes, you need to finish it to level up, and I... am coming along. I have my own reasons to go somewhere not too far from there."
