"Eastside's Bull Tavern..."

After leaving the council above the great waterfall, Ronald Adler walked alone towards Waterfall City below.

Although equipped with spells, Ronald did not do anything unconventional but, like other ordinary people, walked down through a long bridge built between the gaps of the waterfall.

This long bridge was very interesting.

It was not only secured by deep piles driven into a few selected spots above the waterfall but predecessors had also knocked countless anchor cables into the cliff alongside the waterfall to stabilize this bridge against the water's force.

Normally, such a desperate design would have been condemned in reality.

But due to the unique conditions of this world, casters could reinforce it with spells, making the originally outrageous design feasible.

"Probably only in such a place could you see this..."

The rushing waterfalls roared down on both sides, and in the midst of this natural spectacle, the long bridge, although tiny, still stably supported the pedestrians on it.

Ronald admired the unique scene.

Then he walked down towards the lake and the city built around it.

"This young man..."

"Look at his blonde hair, he must be a pure-blooded aristocrat!"

"But I remember, wasn't the royal family driven out before? How dare he come back above the waterfall?"

"That you don't understand, the aristocratic circle is really messy!"

"Is there also a princess like Vilarnika in the current royal family?"

"Shut up, she's not called a princess anymore!"

Departing from the other end of the underground long bridge, not far along, Ronald heard some faint discussions from afar.

There were several taverns and inns still open at night in Entrode, and the traditional consumers, seeing Ronald come down from the long bridge to the council, immediately started various discussions related to him.

Ronald naturally did not mind such situations.

He glanced at the drunkards discussing him and the Entrode agents with suspicious eyes behind them, then smiled and walked towards the east.

The reminder from Lallyeh, although unclear,

didn't bother him to spare some time to go have a look.

"Bull Tavern..."

Half an hour later, Ronald found the place mentioned by Lallyeh.

In the eastern part, establishments like this were quite numerous, as Entrode had been promoting opera and other artistic performances recently, and traditional enterprises like drinking and merrymaking were not left behind.

On such a lively winter night,

Ronald pushed open the door and entered the seemingly ordinary Bull Tavern.

"Hmm?"

As soon as he entered, Ronald felt something special about this place.

A highly concealed spell, detectable only by the original spellbook holders, was in effect within the tavern, seemingly suggesting subconsciously that ordinary people should instinctively not want to enter.

So... was this a tavern that only serves casters?

Ronald's curiosity was quickly satisfied.

Because, after bypassing the front screen, he immediately saw everything inside the so-called Bull Tavern.

There were more than thirty individuals in robes sitting inside.

Among them, some were intoxicated, holding up their mugs as if savoring some exquisite brew; others gazed at the stage with reverence, as if witnessing a saint descend upon the world.

—In fact, it was somewhat similar.

In the tavern, where dancing girls should have been performing,

the devout cult magician Vilarnika stood, holding a magic wand embellished with gemstones:

"My dear family, our achievements this week have been absolutely perfect!"

"In Waterfall City, the number of devoted worshippers ready to greet the Great Being has been growing daily, which is a direct reflection of our excellent work and also the fact that the society is accepting cult magicians!"

"Society is evolving, the era is progressing, and we, cult magicians, seizing this opportunity in such a world situation, is indeed a rare and excellent moment in the past century. My family, cheer—!"

"Ooh—"

"Long live!"

"Bless Entrode!"

"Oohoo—"

With only a little over thirty people in the tavern, a cheer erupted that sounded as if there were a hundred, including several who activated spells to join in the excitement. This scene lasted for nearly half a minute before Vilarnika tapped her magic wand to signal for silence.

Then, the promising young cult maiden pondered and continued:

"I think... no!"

"I declare... also no!"

"I decide—from now on, Entrode shall be known as the holy city of cult magicians. The supreme honor of greeting the Great Being shall also be bestowed upon this praiseworthy city!"

"Now... huh? Ronald!"

Just as Vilarnika was about to continue, her gaze swept over the crowd below, and she spotted Ronald standing near the entrance, staring blankly at everything inside the tavern.

Vilarnika shuddered on the spot.

She quickly analyzed the situation, then immediately put on an excited smile and, in front of everyone, pointed her magic wand towards Ronald:

"My family, welcome the best friend of the cult magicians!"

"From the powerful spellbinding lineage of Grid, also the strongest Caster in the world, and the man who will be my future husband—Ronald Adler!"

The surrounding cult magicians immediately shifted their gaze towards Ronald.

Although Vilarnika's string of introductions seemed somewhat unreal, it still made the cult magicians clearly recognize Ronald's identity and capabilities.

"He really is impressive!" Suddenly, a cult magician spoke up, "I had a good brother who used to frolic in Berenwich, and it was this Ronald who dealt with him."

"..."

"A toast to Ronald!"

"Ooh—"

"..."

Noticing the previous cult magician speaking up, Ronald subconsciously thought he might need to take action.

He had indeed foiled the plans of cult magicians in Berenwich before, and being targeted by an acquaintance seeking revenge seemed entirely justifiable.

However, the minds of cult magicians...

surely all had some problems.

Such 'past stories' didn't become the starting point for escalating conflicts, but rather became the catalyst for them to welcome Ronald even more and continue to heat up the atmosphere.

"Really impressive..."

With a complex look, Ronald gazed around at the self-entertained cult magicians who had no intention of pulling him into their revelry.

Under these circumstances, Ronald naturally walked towards the stage.

Approaching Vilarnika, who wore a sheepish smile:

"R'lyeh told me there would be a surprise here, but don't tell me it's this?"

"You can take this as a surprise..." The cult maiden was about to continue, but seeing Ronald's threatening expression, she immediately shook her head: "No, no, no, I'm just joking!"

"Come with me, let's talk in the back!"
