Chapter 259 - ECIA (1/2)
It is a good thing that this part of the sea is not highly terrorized by the man-eating merpeople.
The last time they have been here was when they sail through a shipping vessel that used to transport magical items to different places.
It is also the same ship that acts as a medium to bring fresh blood as well as the returning students in Magus Academia.
They traveled for around three months or so that time, and on the very last day of their voyage to Magus Academia, they got attacked by the merpeople.
Many of the aspiring young warlocks and sorceresses met their demise at that time.
For they fall under that charm of the merpeople and they were mercilessly dragged away by the vicious merfolk underwater. Probably ending up as one of their food supply.
Mu Lingxi and the two Long brothers traveled together on that same ship so they were aware of what happened to this place.
As such, among their group of six, the three of them especially Long Yue are the most apprehensive to go back here.
It would definitely spell trouble if they would have been teleported here at the same time that the merfolk decided to lurk in this area. Good thing, that is not the case.
”We are finally out of Magus Academia, but from here, where do we go next?”
Yun Xue said as he dried himself using a fire element magic spell. The rest of the group also did the same and they hurriedly dry themselves with their won spells lest they catch colds for having their body soak in water.
”According to the information given by Schoolmaster Yin, Sanguine Tundra is somewhere along the Northeast part of Magus Academia. That is why I also suggested for us to take the exit in the north.”
Apparently, Fan Lei did not choose the portal at Northern Bloom Farm for no reason. The reason why he chose this exit is for them to get the fastest route possible going to Sanguine Tundra.
”Are we going to take another portal from here going there???
To be honest, Mu Lingxi is already getting fed up by all this portal hopping and endless teleportation thing. She was starting to get a 'portal lag' as to how Janus termed it.
Yes, it was indeed more convenient traveling through portals because they would be able to cross long-distance places in less amount of time.
But there were these times that she also craved for some wisp of fresh air. A real-time traveling, not just mere teleporting from place to place.
Over time, the hype of teleportation is starting to fade and for some reason, she finds herself feeling that there is no such trill in doing that anymore.
As such, she can't help but asked that question and hope that she will get the answer that she wants. This time, it seemed that author-sama hear her pleas as Fan Lei give her the answer that she desired to hear right now.
”Unfortunately, there is no available portal nearby. So we must travel independently in the meantime. It will take us around one day or less before we could reach the portal leading tho the entrance of Sanguine Tundra”
”Shall we call our beasts now??”
”Apparently, yes. We left so suddenly as such I did not get a chance to get any reservation or book an appointment with any flying beast..”
”MEOW”
[Reservation??? Book an appointment??? Don't tell me there are also traveling agencies in this place?]
”Most likely there is, remember the Thestrals that we use when we went to Cloudmist Ridge??”
”MEOW”
[Anyways, why waste time and resources in booking a beast to when you all have a spiritual beast of your own??]
”Why don't you asked them instead???”
”MEOW”
