Gray was taken aback and didn't have time to react. The potion on the table, as well as Gael and Gray, swish—disappeared from inside the carriage.

Amidst the dense Endless Snow Mountains outside the train, swish! Gael and Gray appeared on a cliff edge. Gray's head was a little dizzy; he shook it and looked forward: "What is this?"
Only to see in the snow-covered mountain forest ahead, a huge circular building appeared in their line of sight. Like a war fortress, the top of the massive building was surrounded by dense, enormous cannon barrels. And the top of the building was a complex, clock-like rotating mechanical structure.
Gael raised his hand and waved it in front of him. Rows of faint golden, illusory bounty-like information appeared in front of him. Gael reached out and tapped one of them. The faint golden, illusory bounty enlarged, showing a guy dressed like a doll, looking not very tall, but his feet were stepping on thick steel needles like stilts.
"Dark Guild, Guild Master of Noisy Second Hand, Ni Zi Bu Mu Si." Then Gael's palm swept to the right. The information on the members of the Dark Guild, Noisy Second Hand, turned into faint golden bounties that appeared, but the bounties were not high, and the lack of Magic notation meant they were only wanted for doing evil. The symbols on many of the members were exactly the same as the Guild flag fluttering on the building in the distance.
Gray's eyes widened as he looked at the bounty, then at the flag on the massive building in the distance, comparing them back and forth: "A Dark Guild."
Gael nodded and said: "That's right. A small Dark Guild, I didn't expect the Guild to be hidden here. Guild Master Ni Zi Bu Mu Si, a C-Class Mage, a guy who possesses Explosion Magic."
Saying that, Gael's mental power probed into the building in the distance. Inside the huge building, besides the beating Demon Egg, only Ni Zi Bu Mu Si's aura was considered strong; most of the others had no Magic aura, only their physical fitness was stronger than ordinary people. But thinking about it, if they didn't even have physical fitness, what would be the use of having such subordinates?
Gael spoke: "He's hatching a Demon Egg. Only that Guild Master has some combat power in here. The rest are just ordinary people. Are you confident?"
Gray was startled, then looked at the huge building, nodded solemnly, and gritted his teeth: "I want to try."
Not only did he want to see the effect of his training over the past two days, but more importantly, Gael said there was a Demon Egg inside. Damn guys! No wonder Demons like Deliola appeared; it's possible they were created by some Dark Guild. Just thinking of Deliola, Gray hated these guys who messed with Demons to death.
Gael saw this and nodded: "Clothes."
Gray was startled, then looked down: "Ah! Damn it! When!" Gray didn't know when he had taken off his clothes again. He quickly picked them up and put them on.
Then Gael raised the Magic staff in his hand and pointed. Swish! The two instantly disappeared from the cliff. And Gray's figure appeared at the entrance of the Noisy Second Hand Guild in the next instant. It was different from looking at it from a distance. When Gray truly stood at the gate, that tall city wall, the Guild that looked like a war fortress, for a moment, Gray didn't know where to start.

Inside the Noisy Second Hand Guild, unlike the howling north wind and ice and snow outside, the center of the building here was silent. All the members stood neatly at the edges, not daring to overstep in the slightest. And the Guild Master, Ni Zi Bu Mu Si, who was stepping on steel needles like stilts, looked at the beating Demon Egg.
Under the Demon Egg, there was a short-haired little girl. Her Magic power was a bit weak, but her hands were aimed at the Demon Egg, and she was casting some Magic. However, after a moment, the little girl's Magic power was exhausted. And the Demon Egg also pulsed, which made Ni Zi Bu Mu Si even more satisfied, a smile appearing on his face: "Good, just two more months."
"This Demon Egg will be able to hatch." Ni Zi Bu Mu Si looked at the weak Nano at his feet, very satisfied: "You are truly a treasure bestowed upon me by God, Nano. Being able to cast Magic that accelerates the flow of time in an area, allowing a Demon Egg that would take ten years to hatch to successfully hatch in just six months. And now, you are all in my hands."
"What a stroke of luck, even God is helping me, helping me unify Ishgar!!! Hahahahaha!!!" Ni Zi Bu Mu Si said, his expression somewhat frenzied: "I really don't know what that guy who caused such a big commotion was thinking. Such a powerful Demon like Deliola, instead of controlling it properly and conquering a few Kingdoms, was led into the Endless Snow Mountains by a bunch of stupid guys. What a waste."
"If I were to control such a powerful Demon, Noisy Second Hand would definitely become the strongest Dark Guild in Ishgar! However, even without Deliola, there's no difference once this Demon Egg hatches. Ishgar Continent will be mine sooner or later."
Ni Zi Bu Mu Si's tone was sinister, staring at the Demon Egg and muttering. The malevolent aura he emitted made the surrounding Guild members tremble with fear.
However, Gael, who had appeared here invisibly, his mouth twitched slightly. Although he knew the north was barren, he didn't expect it to be this barren. Unifying Ishgar.... He really dared to say it. Is this something a C-Class Mage can even think about? Is setting flags something you can just do casually?
However, Gael looked at the Guild members, who were all ordinary people except for this Guild Master, and this level of insight seemed somewhat reasonable. How strong could a Dark Guild whose Guild Master was a C-Class Mage be, with all the members being ordinary people? There were no proper Magicians, just good luck. He didn't know where he found the little girl with Time Magic talent, and he also picked up a Demon Egg; perhaps this Ni Zi Bu Mu Si also happened to get his hands on Demon control Magic.
Unfortunately, not only did he set a flag, but he also said it out loud. Gray had just asked him to leave him outside....
As soon as Gael's thoughts fell, rumble—a loud noise echoed throughout the interior of this building that resembled a war fortress. Ni Zi Bu Mu Si was startled and turned his head to look at the Guild entrance: "What's going on?! Did the Magic Council break in?! Damn it! Why at this particular time!"
Turning back to look at the beating Demon Egg, and then at Nano, Ni Zi Bu Mu Si gritted his teeth: "Quick! Transfer the Demon Egg and Nano out of here for me. Make sure not to jostle them! If the Demon Egg is damaged even a little, I'll blow you all up!!!" The subordinates around him felt a chill in their hearts and quickly took action.
At this moment, someone ran over from the entrance: "It's bad! Guild Master!!!"
Ni Zi Bu Mu Si's face was ashen: "What are you shouting about! I know, damn it.... Such a hidden place, was it still discovered by the Magic Council? Damn it, just a little bit more...."
The subordinate quickly said: "No, Guild Master. It's a kid! He broke in!!!"
