Chapter 30: The Target, the Wind and Frost Mountains (I)
"Boss, we're almost at the border of our Southern Fire Empire, how do we go next? My dad is really, saying that it's not safe to ride a horse, or get a few horses from home, maybe we'll all enter the territory of the Middle-earth Empire now." Bi Su said with some complaints.
After three days of carriage riding, the three of them finally arrived at Starfire City, the border city of the Southern Fire Empire, and decided to stay here for one night to recuperate and continue to set off.
The Southern Fire Empire is in the southernmost part of the Five Elements Continent, bordering the Xijin Empire, the Middle Earth Empire and the Dongmu Empire respectively, they need to cross the border when they set off from Starfire City again, so they can only walk on their own, Ji Dong is sitting on the bed in the hotel room at this time, spreading out the map to study the specific route.
Ji Dong pointed to the map in his hand to show Karl and Bisu, "You see, the distance from Fire City is located in the west of the Southern Fire Empire, and we walked the closest way to the border, and this Spark City itself is also a border city on the west side of the Southern Fire Empire. From here we now have two options, one is to go east, bypassing the Wind and Frost Mountains that straddle the three empires of Xijin, Middle-earth, and Southern Fire, and pass through Bingrong City in the middle of the border of the Southern Fire Empire, and enter the territory of the Middle-earth Empire. Then go all the way north to Central Plains City. This road is easier to walk, and it is all official roads. But we have to go at least 500 miles more. The Wind and Frost Mountain Range is the second largest mountain range on the mainland, nearly a thousand miles horizontally, and if we want to bypass it in seven days and enter the Middle-earth Empire and reach the Central Plains City, time must be very tight. The other way is to go directly northeast from Starfire City, directly through the Wind and Frost Mountains, and into the territory of the Middle-earth Empire. Although the Wind and Frost Mountains are long in the horizontal direction, they are only less than 100 miles longitudinally, so we should be able to save a lot of time. It's just that the road is much more difficult. In case you encounter a demonic beast, I am afraid that it will be dangerous. Which way do you think we should go?"
Karl said without hesitation: "Just go directly over the Wind and Frost Mountains, so that we can save at least two days." Moreover, when the summer teacher told us about the geography of the continent, didn't he say that the Wind and Frost Mountains belong to the area where Warcraft are scarce, and there are very few Warcraft, and even if there are, they are just some low-level Warcraft. We should be able to deal with it. Before condensing the Yin and Yang Crown, Teacher Summer taught me some benchmark skills, although they are not very powerful, but the magic power to assist me is enough. ”
Bi Su snorted and said, "Will you do it?" Teacher Qiu also taught me. ”
Although there are plans to teach Ji Dong in the summer, neither he nor the autumn knows how to teach Ji Dong, after all, none of them have ever seen a magician with the dual attributes of yin and yang, Yang Bingtian directly vetoed their plan to teach Ji Dong's magic skills, and told them that Tiangan Academy is the most suitable place for Ji Dong to study. Magic skills cannot be cultivated casually, and if you practice magic skills that are not suitable for you, it will be harmful to your own cultivation.
Hearing them say this, Ji Dong suddenly relieved himself, "I will also have a few benchmark skills, so it's decided, tomorrow morning we will purchase some necessary materials and set off through the Wind and Frost Mountains." It's getting late, you go back to your room and rest. ”
Ji Dong also has his plans, just like Carl said, the chance of demonic beasts appearing in the Wind and Frost Mountains is very small, and they are all yin-yang magicians, so this can reduce the time on the road. And he has been in a slight trance these days, and his mind is restless, so he doesn't think much about it.
The three of them opened two rooms in the inn, and Ji Dong lived alone on the grounds that he was not used to living with others, and Carl and Bisu lived in one room. He did this, of course, to be able to mix wine with the flames. Although he had been on the road for three days, he never stopped the work that had lasted for four years.
Carl and Bisu went back to their room to rest, and Ji Dong immediately took out the bartending utensils from the storage bracelet, and after carefully concocting a cocktail, he called out the name of the flame.
The lake in the center of the earth is still so hot, since the flames made that platform in the magma, every time Ji Dong initiates a teleportation, it will appear directly in the center of the platform.
The red light flickered, and Ji moved his feet on the ground, but he didn't have the heart to feel the rich fire element around him, his eyes quickly looked around, but he couldn't find any trace of the flames.
"Blaze, are you there?" he shouted, but received no response.
It's been three days. He hadn't seen Blaze's face since he woke up from his coma that day, and for the past few days, after the daily bartenders were delivered, he would be teleported straight back to the surface. The flames never appeared, not even a sound. But the excitement could feel her presence, and if she wasn't there, how could she complete the process of teleportation?
But why didn't the flames see me? Coming with hope, Ji Dong's heart was filled with disappointment again, and the wine glass in his hand broke free and flew up on its own, heading towards the depths of the Earth's Heart Lake, and the light of the red lotus had already wrapped his body, teleporting him back to his hotel room.
It wasn't until Ji Dong's figure disappeared completely that the perfect figure of the flame slowly emerged on the huge rock, holding a wine glass, tasting the wine in the glass a little lonely, her expression was surprisingly similar to Ji Dong, and her originally bright eyes flashed with a little trance. It was as if he was thinking about something.
Shaking his head slightly, Blaze said to himself, "Don't think about it anymore, he's just a human after all." Whether it is family affection or friendship, after being with him for a long time, this inseparable relationship will be unbearable. If he dies in the human world, won't I feel that excruciating pain again? It is better not to see him for a long time, for it is a good thing for him and for me. Ji Dong, I'm sorry, gradually, you will definitely forget me. I wish you can cultivate more and more powerful. ”
Back in the hotel room, although Ji Dong was already a little tired from the three-day journey, he couldn't sleep for a long time, as soon as he closed his eyes, the delicate face of the flame would come to mind. He would rather Blaze reprimand him harshly than someone who can't see her, who can't hear her voice. In the past few days, he has lost his soul. After four years of uninterrupted hard cultivation, it seems that he is a little uninterested now.
In the early morning of the next day, Ji Dong and the three of them purchased a large amount of food and drinking water in Spark City, and put them into Ji Dong and Bi Su's storage bracelets and storage rings. With these two treasures, their journey is much easier.
