Chapter 305: The Sun Badge
As the carriage drove into the suburbs of Turin City, they soon arrived at the gate of Rose Manor.
Just like the last time they visited, as soon as Miss Vivian finished pressing the doorbell, the pure white owl opened the gate for them.
“Welcome back, Miss Vivian. The patriarch is waiting for you both in the reception hall.”
“I understand… Let’s go, Jia Na.”
As the two stepped into the barrier, the silver-white world of Rose Manor, constructed from Frost, came into Miss Jia Na’s view. At the same time, Isais, the alchemical creature whose expression was still very serious, was standing at the entrance of the Rose Ancient Castle.
“Good afternoon, Miss Jia Na. I may need to put a blindfold on you to block Mental Perception in a moment.”
“No problem.”
After all, the place Miss Jia Na was about to enter was a top-secret area of the Rose Family, so it was understandable to be asked to take some confidentiality measures beforehand.
“Excuse me.”
After apologizing, Isais placed a black blindfold, about half the size of Miss Jia Na’s face, over her eyes.
“Jia Na, hold my hand tightly.”
“Okay.”
Hearing Miss Vivian’s voice, Miss Jia Na naturally took her cold left hand.
“This way, ladies.”
Led by Isais, Miss Jia Na could roughly sense that she had first arrived in the reception hall inside the Rose Ancient Castle. Then, after a series of twists and turns and walking for about fifteen minutes, Isais removed the blindfold from Miss Jia Na’s face.
“The patriarch is waiting for you inside. I will take my leave now.”
“You’ve worked hard.”
“You are too kind.”
As Isais left, Miss Jia Na, standing beside Miss Vivian, finally saw the scene before her.
“So it’s an underground teleportation array…”
Although the surroundings were pitch black, Miss Jia Na could still tell that this place was an artificial grotto. In the center of the grotto was a circular platform-shaped teleportation magic array carved with intricate luminous white patterns.
“Jia Na, wear this.”
At this time, in the vast grotto, there were only Miss Jia Na, Miss Vivian, and Mr. Hermann-Rose.
Before Miss Jia Na could fully take in the surroundings, Mr. Hermann-Rose, standing beside the teleportation magic array, threw a magical accessory towards Miss Jia Na. It was entirely golden, inlaid with red jade in the center, and shaped like a sun.
“The temperature of the Extreme Cold Secret Realm is too cold for you. This Sun Badge can protect you from the low temperature inside.”
“Thank you, Mr. Hermann—hiss, it’s so hot.”
Miss Jia Na, who caught the Sun Badge, felt a strong burning sensation from her hand as soon as her palm touched the red jade on it, causing her to let out a soft cry.
“Are you okay, Jia Na? You’re sweating a lot on your forehead.”
“I’m fine, just a little hot.”
The longer Miss Jia Na held the Sun Badge, the more she felt her body temperature rising rapidly.
In a short while, a thin layer of sweat had covered Miss Jia Na’s entire forehead, leaving her in an extremely hot state.
“Father, is this thing you gave Jia Na reliable? Will it hurt her?”
“Don’t worry, it will be fine inside the Secret Realm. With her current physique, without the protection of the Sun Badge, she would be frozen into an ice sculpture within half an hour.”
“Quickly activate the teleportation array! I can see Jia Na can’t take it anymore!”
Seeing Miss Jia Na’s face visibly turning red, Miss Vivian, who no longer had time to listen to her old father’s explanation, immediately urged.
“Buzz—”
Frost-blue magic power surged from Mr. Hermann-Rose’s hand and quickly merged into the teleportation magic array beneath him.
Instantly, a bright white light erupted, and as the teleportation magic array quickly activated, distorted spatial power rapidly generated around the array.
“Bring her in.”
Seeing the array activated, Miss Vivian didn’t care about anything else. She carried Miss Jia Na on her back and rushed into the teleportation magic array.
“Buzz—”
Accompanied by the second buzzing sound, Miss Jia Na, who was surrounded by the power of flame, felt herself being quickly Swallowing by a white light. Then, the world spun, and within a few breaths, the figures of Miss Jia Na and the others quickly disappeared from the underground teleportation magic array—
“So cool.”
Feeling the sudden drop in temperature around her, Miss Jia Na, who had been unbearably hot from the Sun Badge, immediately felt the refreshing sensation of coldness washing away the heat.
“Every three hours, you need to recharge the Sun Badge. Otherwise, once the heat dissipates, you will quickly be frozen into an ice sculpture.”
Hearing Mr. Hermann-Rose’s reminder, Miss Jia Na carefully put the Sun Badge close to her body and nodded seriously.
“Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Hermann, and for the Wizard tool you lent me.”
The moment Miss Jia Na received the Sun Badge, she realized that its quality was the same as the white bone badge that Anthony-Black Sparrow had given her before; both were top-tier apprentice level Wizard tools, or even higher.
Moreover, like the white bone badge, the Sun Badge was also a passive defensive Wizard tool.
The main target of the Sun Badge was mostly Shadow Creatures, making it a very practical Wizard tool in the Turin Wizard Gathering Place.
After all, from the geographical distance of the Primary Material World, the Turin Wizard Gathering Place is relatively close to the Shadow World and is often harassed by Shadow Creatures.
Therefore, almost every few years, there would be a wave of Shadow Creature invasions. Like the one Miss Jia Na personally experienced last year, it was considered a relatively small-scale invasion battle.
“Keep up with me. If you encounter ferocious beasts, you will have to find a way to deal with them yourselves.”
After speaking, a whirlwind of Frost condensed from Mr. Hermann-Rose’s feet, lifting him high into the air, leaving only a blurry shadow visible.
“Jia Na, it’s hard to walk here because of all the snow. Do you want me to carry you?”
“If you carry me, wouldn’t it be even harder to walk?”
Looking at Miss Vivian’s confident expression, Miss Jia Na couldn’t help but be curious about what method she had to move freely in the blizzard weather of the extreme cold region.
“You underestimate me too much.”
As soon as she finished speaking, large, delicate ice-blue scales, like glazed glass, grew from Miss Vivian’s arms and collar. Then, her legs merged into a snake body. In just the blink of an eye, Miss Vivian’s body transformed from its original human form into a half-human, half-snake appearance.
“In this extreme environment, Bloodline Side apprentices indeed have a unique advantage—”
“Hiss—”
A hissing sound came from Miss Vivian’s mouth. Seeing her eyes completely filled with white and the ice crystal on her forehead flashing with ice-blue light, Miss Jia Na suddenly remembered that Miss Vivian in her bloodline transformation state seemed to be in a state of being “deaf and blind”—
