Above the Ice Palace of Xuejian Valley in Vermilion Bird City, a figure stands against the wind and snow, hands behind his back, a satisfied smile on his face:
"Kid, are you pleased with my 'gift'?"
Though his surroundings are covered in a vast blanket of snow, his eyes seem to possess a penetrating magic power, intently watching everything happening below.
Especially the situation unfolding where Lin Yi is, it's all clearly visible.
Just as this person was engrossed in watching, a teasing voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"Enjoying the view?"
The figure is none other than the Vice City Lord of Black Tortoise City: Andre.
And behind Andre, Nidya of Vermilion Bird City was there as if she had been standing all along, looking at Andre with a half-smile.
Upon hearing Nidya's voice, Andre immediately turned around to look at the visitor:
"Ah, it's Lady Nidya, what brings you here?"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?"
