286 Hybrids (1/2)
Human Cannonball was quite fast, but even so, the red spot was still pointing east after Roland flew for two hours.
He stopped and built a small building to take a rest.
After his mana was recovered, he continued his journey to the east.
His magic regeneration was slower than his consumption. So, without using the Mind-Calming Necklace, Roland could only fly two hours and rest five hours in order to replenish himself.
It was because the capacity of his mana had soared after his level-up. Though his magic regeneration had been slightly increased by Roland's Zeal, it couldn't catch up with the growth of Roland's total mana.
After all, he had added all his stat points on Intelligence, which decided the basic damage of his spells as well as the upper limit of his mana.
Based on the direction of the black gem, Roland kept flying eastward.
He passed the prairie and the desert, weathering wind and thunderstorms. He even happened upon a silver dragon, which was surprised to see him and intended to catch him, but it couldn't catch up with Roland at all. Roland lost the dragon after only half an hour.
Roland was not interested in the silver dragon at all. He only wanted to find the Red Magic Tower at this point.
Flying two hours and resting five hours, Roland continued the journey day and night.
He estimated that he had crossed a handful of countries before he finally reached the sea.
Before Roland was a shallow, beautiful blue sea.
The view here was beautiful. The bottom of the sea could be seen from the sky, and all kinds of creatures were swimming beneath the surface of the clear water.
The silver beach was glittering under the sunlight too.
This would've made a famous tourist site on Earth, but Roland was rather desperate at this point.
He slowly landed from the sky and stood on the highest rock near the shore.
The sea before his eyes was beautiful, but also boundless.
The wind from the sea, carrying a fishy scent, blew at Roland's robe.
Staring at the horizon for a long time, Roland finally heaved a helpless sigh.
If it were on the continent, he could've reached his destination however far it was even though it might take him some time.
But things were tricky if it was on the other side of the sea, which was impossible for him to fly across, unless this was not a sea but a channel.
Without a place to rest, he would only drown in the sea and end up in a fish's stomach.
Roland stood in silence on the rock for a quarter-hour before he flew south.
He wanted to look for a city and ask the residents there about this sea.
It would be even better if he could find a map. He could simply fly across it if it was only a channel.
However, if it was a massive sea, he would consider other solutions.
As he expected, he found a city after flying for half an hour. The tall wall of the city reflected green light under the sun.
From above the city, Roland found that the buildings of this city were rather primitive. The houses and towers were all built on uneven green stones. As a result, there were protrusions on the surface of every building, but it was weirdly beautiful.
The city was not quite large. It was shaped like a square, four kilometers in length and three kilometers in width.
