When Rein gently piloted the Horned Owl Beast to land, he discovered that the road leading to Stone Hammer Fortress was crowded with merchant caravans and travelers.
Clearly, since his last visit, the underground lava monsters should have been thoroughly cleared by the Empire, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many caravans.
Thus, Rein and Anna smoothly passed through Stone Hammer Fortress.
After several more hours of flying, finally, the majestic and familiar Hosga Mountain Range appeared in sight.
And the city of Mingster, built along the mountains, naturally came into view for the two of them.
A few minutes later, at Rein Mansion.
"Brother, it's brother who's back!" His sister Bo He, playing with the Spiritual Greyhound Qu Qi in the mansion's front courtyard, was the first to see the Horned Owl Beast land.
However, Bo He's first hug was given to Anna.
"Sister Anna, I missed you so much." Bo He rubbed against Anna's chest while acting coy.
