Before they get to Never Ending Mountain, Minli needs to reach the City of Bright Moonlight, and once there, she’s supposed to find the Guardian of the City. When Minli finds him, she’s supposed to ask for the borrowed line, which is something she will need when she gets to Never Ending Mountain. But it’s not so easy to find the Guardian of the City, aka the king. When Minli and the Dragon reach the City of the Bright Moonlight, the streets are crowded and bustling; the city seems to be bubbling with people like boiling rice. Then someone in the city tells her the king lives in the Inner City, and you have to have permission to go into the Inner City.There are thousands of guards protecting the Inner City, making it impossible for Minli to see the king. Just when Minli doesn’t know what to do next, a Buffalo boy lends a hand. Because there’s no where for Minli to stay the night, Buffalo boy invites her to his shabby, rickety hut. His parents died four years ago, and ever since then it’s been him and the buffalo. But he speaks almost carelessly, without anger or self-pity. Suddenly Minli thinks about her own home-the wood floor always swept by Ma, the extra blanket Ba put over her when the wind blew cold-and she feels a strange tightness in her throat.

The magistrate is very powerful and proud. He is so proud that he demands constant respect from his people. He is harsh with his subordinates, ruthless to his enemies, and pitiless to his people. All fear his wrath, and when he roars his orders the people tremble. Behind his back, they call him Magistrate Tiger. Magistrate Tiger’s most coveted wish is to be of royal blood. As soon as his son was born, he began to make trips and inquiries to gain influence. As soon as his son was born, he began to make trips and inquiries to gain influence, in hopes that he could marry his son to a member of the imperial family.
