First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264: Reaching Mansion

Eldric guided the flying chariot smoothly through the moonlit sky, the gleaming rooftops of the city sprawling below them in quiet elegance.

The chariot soared gracefully over the imposing city walls, manned by vigilant soldiers who quickly spotted the insignia of House Helstorm engraved prominently upon its sides.

Their stances immediately relaxed, their tense vigilance giving way to respectful salutes and quiet nods, acknowledging Eldric’s unquestioned authority within Thunderpeak.

The city beneath appeared serene from their elevated viewpoint. Soft glows of magical lamps illuminated the streets, casting gentle pools of golden light amid shadows.

The rhythmic sounds of city life—a quiet bustle lit by distant laughter and soft conversations—drifted upward, creating a comforting background hum to their silent passage.

Magi leaned cautiously over the chariot’s edge, eyes wide in amazement. The young man’s heart raced, both exhilarated and anxious by this rare experience.

The bunny nestled on his shoulder gazed downward with equal fascination, ears perked attentively as it watched the sprawling city below.

Eldric glanced back briefly, a faint yet gentle smile touching his lips at the youthful wonder on Magi’s face.

As they crossed into the Fourth Ring, the chariot gracefully descended toward a secluded plaza surrounded by modest yet neatly kept buildings.

Eldric slowed the chariot’s speed gently, the faint hum of mana softly dissipating as they hovered mere inches above the stone pavement.

"Here we are, lad," Eldric announced quietly, his voice firm yet kind. "Stay cautious. The city might appear peaceful, but dangers often lurk unnoticed."

Magi stepped off carefully, turning to Eldric with earnest gratitude shining in his eyes. "Thank you, Sir Eldric—Lady Selene, Sir Edgar. For everything tonight."

Selene nodded gently, her typically stern expression softening subtly with quiet approval. Edgar offered a small, reassuring smile, giving Magi a nod of encouragement.

"Take care, lad," Eldric said warmly, eyes steady with seriousness. "I have high hopes for you from what I hear from Orion about you."

Magi bowed deeply, gripping the bunny gently to his chest, and watched with gratitude as the chariot ascended swiftly back into the darkened skies.

As the chariot disappeared from view, Magi exhaled a breath of relief and determination, his heart quietly resolving to grow stronger—even if it was impossible.

Eldric maneuvered the chariot smoothly toward the Second Ring, the luxurious district where the Helstorm Estate resided.

Below, sprawling gardens and magnificent mansions replaced the modest structures of the lower rings, the air thick with tranquility and prestige.

The chariot descended silently, touching down gently within the expansive grounds of their estate. As they stepped out, Edgar bowed respectfully.

"If you’ll excuse me," he said, voice calm and dutiful, "I will return to my post and ensure everything remains secure."

Eldric nodded appreciatively, and Edgar swiftly departed, fading into the shadows of the estate to resume his vigilant watch.

Eldric and Selene began walking toward Orion’s quarters in the mansion, their pace slow, each lost briefly within their thoughts.

The night’s cool air whispered gently around them, the gardens softly illuminated by enchanted lanterns, casting tranquil patterns of light upon the pathway.

Breaking the prolonged silence, Selene finally voiced the question weighing heavily upon her mind. "...Did you know that Orion was related to Dragons?"

Selene’s gaze softened, the gentleness in her expression speaking volumes. "Yes," she agreed quietly, resolutely. "We will protect him, whatever may come." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
