Chapter 90: Frost Dwarves' representative visit to the world tree

Before Minato set toward the Hard Steel Empire's Capital, he spent some time with the Frost Dwarves. 

That race was a pretty creative one.

Hoping that they would help him with his idea, Minato called the representative for tea. The Overlord enjoyed the tea atop the world tree while keeping vigilant eyes on his whole world. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Minato saw all his dungeon lands from this spot.

The World Tree was a vast and domineering existence.

It was the pride of all elves!

Eldric, the frost dwarves' representative, stood before that tree, feeling even shorter than ever. He knew that only Ingrid and her servant, Lily, could step into that world tree carelessly...

He didn't think of Bei and Yuna as that was just natural for these two to be with Minato.

Eldric was elated, actually.

The fact that he had received an invitation from the Overlord to this World Tree was like achievement itself. Then, attending it and helping Minato would be like two more achievements.

Those dungeon races, especially those who didn't dual cultivate with Minato, competed so much with achievements that there was an achievement scoreboard in Minato's world.

Wooden stairs coiled like snakes around the World Tree. That was how the Overlord and other worthy people climbed up to the top.

Minato liked to take tours through those stairs.

Eldric stepped on them for the first time, then reached the top in thirty minutes. It would be much faster if not for his loud heart and him deliberately slowing down. Enjoying this moment wholeheartedly, Eldric didn't even realize when he stepped at the top.

He just saw the bright leaves and bent branches as those snapped to make an expansive room for its master. That room had wooden furniture, even the bed, and the highest quality fruits! A nice view spread from the tree, but Minato's voice drew all attention.

He was sitting by the table in a comfy wooden chair, "You are here. Welcome to the top of my world tree, Eldric. Take your time here."

Eldric nodded, "I am here as you've requested, Master. Thank you for having me. The air here is indeed refreshing!"

"Is it? Even for you, the frost dwarf, who prefers a rather cold one?" Minato chuckled.

Next to him, Ingrid poured green into his cup and asked Eldric what he wanted, "We have green and black tea. Which one would you like?"

Only then did Eldric realize that the elven queen flawlessly blended in the environment! She breathed and let out the same air as the whole world tree, meaning that she was indeed close to their master!

Eldric replied belatedly, "I will take black tea..."

The Frost Dwarf representative took a seat on the other side, then thanked the elven queen for her service.

Minato then said, "We are going to wipe out the Hard Steel Empire soon. I don't think we will lose, so I look past the battle already."

"That's just normal, Master. You are an Overlord who has conquered enough dungeons. Those people can not go against you," Eldric cajoled, trying to score as many points as possible for his race.

Bringing laughter from Minato, Eldric was satisfied with that alone and shifted his attention to the future, "Is there something Master specifically needs us for?"

So far, Minato just called out his people. They all brought out their unique techniques and smashed them down at the enemies. There was no need for a plan or any sacrifices as the low world was the low world in the end.

Most dungeon races hailed from the medium worlds. Minato's Elves were the rare exception as those came from higher worlds.

No one believed they needed tactics, so Minato's orders were fine and understandable.

Minato nodded, "The Majestic Ice Kingdom will take over the territory. The Southern Border is a natural border, a vast river with threats within.

Those threats are nothing for us, but I thought of freezing the whole lake eternally. Can I leave it to you?" he asked with a big smile.

Eldric promptly nodded, "But of course! This is just a mere lake from the low world. We can use the same system and freeze it with the master's mana. That's when it will be indestructible and frozen for an eternity! With Master's Mana, we are more than willing to turn the border into a fortress to protect the Majestic Ice Kingdom's main lands! How does it sound, Master?"

Minato chuckled, "I was thinking of turning the whole Hard Steel Empire's land into snow lands. I am ready to pour my mana into all your plans as long as it provides help for the Majestic Ice Kingdom.

I like your idea, though. An ice wall made out of the water with my mana. I want to see that," he concluded.

Those words were a joy to Eldric's ears, "We will fulfill all!"

With so much anticipation set on them, Eldric stood up and swore to fulfill all wishes. He clenched his hands and nearly burst out with happiness.

Minato just laughed, "Try tea first. I like the elven tea, especially the green one."

"Ah! Yes, yes," Eldric blushed and awkwardly extended his hands toward the cup of tea.

He drank tea slowly out of respect toward his master, taking each sip and thoroughly tasting it. After emptying the whole cup, Eldric bid farewell and rushed to his tribe to convey all the news.

His people would surely like it and even congratulate him for this many achievements!

On the other hand, Ingrid worriedly said, "It's been a few days. Though Julia accepts the reality, she is way too silent and unmotivated. Her mother is in a worse state. If this preserves up, they won't be able to lead the kingdom."

The Elven Queen knew that Minato treasured Julia. Well, she was one of the first women he dual cultivated just for the pleasure's sake. But she was the lady who exposed Minato's unique ability to sense danger.

She was important, and so was her kingdom that the Overlord treasured.

If the kingdom fell after receiving the Overlord's attention, it would reflect on his Overlord Pillar, and that was indeed no good for Minato's future.

He knew what mistakes he made, though.

"She will be fine... Because we are here, Julia takes her time. That's what we should respect and understand... My mistake was that I didn't dual cultivate more with her and other women from the Majestic Ice Kingdom.

I know that it will be more complicated in the medium world, but should I take fancy in any land, I will surely leave a bigger stamp on it next time. For now, I plan to leave powerful land in her hands for the kingdom's future. We will see what the future holds."

"I understand, Minato," Ingrid smiled widely.

Receiving another dazzling smile from the elven queen put Minato in a good mood. He stood up and went to the balcony. She was by his side, holding his hands while those beautiful and soft tits sucked his arm in.

That warmth and support were what Minato needed, "I need to be crueler toward the world and its residents."

Minato inferred as such due to the recent events...
