The Tristan Kingdom wasn't just any kingdom, but a close ally of the Vermilion Kingdom.
In fact, during his time in the academy—before the dragon realm incident and the demon invasion—Nox and his classmates had helped contain a high-level 6 portal that had been a major threat to the kingdom.
In a way, even though he and the students had won only because of the alliance between the Vermilion Kingdom and Tristan, he felt they still owed him… at least, that's what he thought.
"The last time they had been very cool. You think now that you're no longer part of the Cromwell Kingdom, they'll still reciprocate that energy?" Jack asked as they inched closer to the kingdom.
Now that Nox recalled… Jack had been part of the students back then, but at that time he was still disguised as Glen.
"There's only one way to find out." Nox smirked as he gently tapped the dragon, signaling it to descend.
'Huh, what's that?'
"It's huge!"
"Is that a dragon?!"
