The distance from the Northern Ice Wind Valley to Azure Vault City is somewhat far, and it would take Hans and the others at least a few days to return.
Anyway, the back of the Storm Dragon Eagle is wide enough to carry these people without any issue.
Hans and the others respectfully took their orders, watching Duke and Dali step into the deep passage.
The Storm Dragon Eagle spread its wings, flying to a towering ice cliff nearby, perching there, its sharp gaze scanning the entire valley like a loyal guardian.
After Duke and Dali walked into the stone gate, the passage gradually grew dim.
He casually cast a Lighting Technique, a light orb floating beside him illuminating the entire passage inside.
The walls on both sides of the passage were carved with ancient murals and runes, though eroded by time, their general content could still be discerned.
Dali frequently stopped, carefully studying the murals and runes on them.
