The Magic Chef of Fire and Ice: Season 2

The chapter opens with a brief description of the events of the previous chapter. In this chapter, we are introduced to a new character, the ice mage, who is on his way from the Mingyue Empire to the Aolan Empire's capital.

He explains that he was ordered by the Emperor to deliver the message. He says that he is not really from the empire, but a colleague. He also tells the three of his countrymen that they are in a "special situation" because the Emperor has declared war on them.
