The magic competition in Santa Fe City was in full swing, but no one noticed that in the distant, rolling mountains, a giant wind dragon was slowly awakening.

The dragon, which had been sleeping due to a deadly poison, has finally awakened from its slumber.

Unknown to anyone, a reclusive and unwelcome creature, a dragon who has been away from the dragon realm for a long time, is about to return to the continent of Coral, bringing with it an unpredictable future.

The wind dragon suddenly opened its emerald green beast eyes, which were filled with overwhelming malice.

Dragon breath burst forth from the cave, accompanied by a dark shadow. Wings spread out, blotting out the sky and forming a huge shadow over the forest, startling a flock of birds.

All the wild animals in the forest lay prostrate on the ground, trembling, not daring to make a sound.

The dragon revealed a thoughtful, human-like expression, paused for a moment, then turned and flew towards Santa Fe City.

The clouds and wind that rolled in along the way caused storms in the cities they passed through.

...

Since Nesser and Xiu are Maggie's personal servants, no one can control them, and they've been spending all their time in the library lately.

Nesser was eager to learn magic in order to protect Maggie. He absorbed knowledge like a starving man. In just a few days since returning to the temple, he had already found many combinations of magic techniques and was eager to practice them every night.

Xiu was searching for a way to separate the Heart of the Ocean, but none of the books recorded any instances of humans merging with the Heart of the Ocean.

In theory, once Maggie fully regains consciousness and recovers, Xiu can retrieve the Heart of the Ocean.

For some reason, Maggie resonated with the Heart of the Ocean.

It was like a core within her, a special magical transfer station, driving the flow of water elements within her, allowing Maggie to use water magic normally, just like an ordinary water mage.

Although Xiu was a mermaid, he possessed a considerable amount of knowledge, but this was the first time he had ever heard of such a situation.

The quiet library was only occasionally filled with the sound of turning pages. Most of the time, without a nun organizing the catalog, it was just the two of them.

Nesser knew that Xiu was the mermaid Maggie had recently brought back, but in his heart, he was the most important person to Maggie, and he had long been used to Maggie's kindness.

He had no problem with the mermaid.

Xiu had absolutely no interest in children. Although mermaids did not live as long as elves, they still lived much longer than humans. In Xiu's eyes, cubs were just cubs, and there was nothing to say about them.

And so, the two of them sat at a table in the library, remaining perfectly calm throughout, without exchanging a single word.

If Maggie saw this scene, she would be very pleased.

At that moment, Maggie was on her way to the dueling arena when the sky suddenly turned gloomy. She stopped in her tracks, looked up, and stretched out her five fingers to test if any raindrops were falling from the air.

"Your Highness, it looks like it's going to rain. We'd better hurry."

The nun looked at Maggie, who had stopped, with a worried expression, and tentatively reminded her.

"good."

Maggie turned around, smiled slightly, and nodded in agreement.

No one knew whether she was trying to determine the cause of the weather change, whether it was simply a weather problem or a sign that some evil dragon was about to descend.

Before long, as she stepped into the dueling arena, a sudden storm arose outside.

Looking up at the spire on the church dome, the rain was pouring down rapidly, showing how heavy the rain was.

Maggie sighed inwardly.

As it turns out, such an unusual situation most likely means that the dragon has already arrived over Santa Fe City. It seems that today will not be a peaceful day, and there may even be deaths.

She pretended to know nothing, and continued walking up the steps without stopping, giving a seemingly casual instruction.

"There were many incidents yesterday, so the paladins should be extra careful today."

The nun nodded, not noticing anything amiss, and accepted Maggie's instructions.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Back in her VIP seat, Maggie noticed several unexpected people in the area, including a mysterious figure wearing a cloak and appearing to be quite petite.

There was also a voluptuous older woman who politely nodded to Maggie when she saw her come in, and Maggie returned the gesture with a gift.

The others were all instructors from the Ita Academy. They were probably there specifically to keep an eye on things because of the frequent accidents yesterday.

Maggie's gaze unconsciously fell on the petite, mysterious figure, a strange look appearing in her eyes.

Although she disguised herself well, Maggie recognized her identity at a glance—Gillian, the Blood Hunter.

Doesn't she never show her face in public?

Why are you suddenly here today?

Maggie had some doubts, but she couldn't expose her identity now. Since she wanted to pretend to be a mysterious and unfathomable big shot, Maggie had to cooperate, otherwise it would be awkward and could easily end their friendship.

Finally, her gaze fell on the only unfamiliar figure. The woman and Maggie locked eyes, the woman's red lips curving into a breathtakingly beautiful arc, and her dazzlingly voluptuous breasts made Maggie almost swallow hard.

Fortunately, she still had some self-respect and didn't embarrass herself in public.

"Your Highness, this is President Nidia, the Vice President of the Continental Magicians Association."

The nun whispered a reminder in Maggie's ear.

Maggie's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly remembered what she felt was missing yesterday: the Continental Mage Guild had only sent someone, and had actually been absent yesterday.

"Hello."

Nydia gave a polite smile and extended her hand to Maggie.

"President Nidia, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Maggie shook hands with her in return, a very polite gesture that made Maggie feel quite relaxed.

In fact, in addition to kissing hands, nobles in this world also greet each other with cheek kisses, which makes Maggie, who is still a modern person at heart, feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Fortunately, her status as a saintess is too high for most people to dare to greet her with a cheek kiss. However, the Mage Association is different; its president is definitely qualified.

Like the Green Tower, the Continental Mage Association is a neutral force, spread throughout the entire continent of Coral. It is only responsible for testing the strength of those who become mages or other races and issuing certificates.

Although the Temple of Light is powerful, it is perfectly reasonable for it to be on good terms with the Mage Association.

However, the main reason was that Nydia's sexy and mature aura made Maggie a little embarrassed; if it were a cheek kiss, she might blush.

"Who is this...?"

When the nun saw Maggie turn her gaze to another person, she immediately tried to introduce them to Maggie, but Maggie spoke up first.

"Guild Master of the Blood Hunter Guild, nice to meet you."

Maggie bent down slightly towards the small figure shrouded in the cloak, her voice gentle.
