Chapter 731 - Another Cave (1/2)

Since it was an epic quest, the research could wait.

He could do research whenever he wanted, but most quests had time limits and he might miss them.

Roland packed up for the journey. Because Urganda had no teleportation magic arrays and the Goddess of Magic had only paved them in Fareins and near Hollevin, and Roland didn’t have Urganda’s coordinates, he could only fly there.

Roland could carry a lot of people with Cloud Flight. It wasn’t a problem at all for him to bring four camels and four men.

However, there was still one other problem.

Nia wanted to go with him.

“Mother asked me to come with you.” Nia laid her hands on her hip and said angrily, “If I don’t stay with you, my mother will scold me after I return to paradise.”

“You can’t,” said Andonara creepily. “Even I can’t go with him. How can you?”

“But…” Nia looked at Andonara and somehow felt scared.

She was an angel and much older than Anna, but she didn’t have the courage to confront her.

Roland smiled and said, “The Life Goddess asked you to come here just to show her attitude. You don’t need to take it so seriously. Why don’t you and Anna go shopping in Wetland City?”

“You’re not afraid that the liches will come to you for trouble?” asked Anna.

“They’re in a lot of trouble right now.”

Roland smiled happily.

At this moment, the greatness of money became increasingly clear to him. If it were before, it would’ve been very difficult for him to save Delpon as well as the manor and Magic Tower from the liches.

But the case was different at this moment.

In Hollevin, the Phoenix Guild was searching for the enemies.

In the north, the Frostwolf Clan was crazily clearing the liches’ camps.

With troubles in and out of their territory, if the liches could launch an attack on Delpon, they probably would’ve already taken Hollevin down.

“Then why don’t we take a walk?” Andonara’s eyes glittered.

She hadn’t been to Wetland City a lot, but the prosperity of the city left a deep impression on her.

More importantly, the female players over there had a profound understanding of clothes and makeup.

Even the elves couldn’t compare to them.

Nia, on the other hand, was drooling again. She remembered the delicious food in Wetland City.

“Let’s go together.” Nia struggled to nod.

Her intuition as a gourmet overshadowed her persistence in her responsibilities.

Now that they had a common purpose, Andonara stopped being hostile to Nia. They went inside to change their clothes.

Girls had one set of clothes for daily life, one set for sleeping, and hundreds of sets for going out.

It could take them a long time to dress up and change.

Roland, on the other hand, walked to the manor and said to the Red Desert Dwellers, “I’m going to Urganda with you to check your village. The problem is that I don’t like wasting too much time on the way. So, we’ll fly there.”

The four villagers from the Red Desert looked at each other in disbelief.

“Bring your camels here.”

They didn’t know what was going on, but they followed the instruction.

Then, Roland snapped his fingers, and a large white cloud ten meters long and wide appeared on the ground.

Roland stepped on it first and said, “Come on up with your camels.”

None of the villagers dared to move. They looked at each other, asking one another to go up first.

That was normal.

Mages were always mysteries to ordinary people. They were temperamental and could turn human beings into frogs, apples, or mirrors when they were angry.

That was rather terrifying.

Who knew whether or not the cloud could turn someone into a cactus?

“Please hurry up. My time is precious.” Roland urged them.

When someone was powerful, their words would carry a lot of weight.

Those inferior to them would even imagine things that they didn’t really mean.

Roland wasn’t angry at all, but to the four of them, Roland was about to burst into rage.

It was the calm before a storm… or a sandstorm, for the villagers.

The villagers, trembling in fear, directed the camels onto the cloud.

After they stood steadily in the center, Roland snapped his fingers, and the cloud floated toward Urganda.

Thanks to the protection of the barriers, they didn’t feel the intense air currents even though they were in high altitudes.

However, for most creatures that lived on the ground, having their feet off the ground wasn’t the best experience.

The four humans and the four camels all collapsed and dared not move anymore.

However, human beings were intelligent creatures and much better at accepting new things.

About half an hour later, they finally calmed down and dared to appreciate the sceneries far beyond the cloud.

Another half an hour later, they gained the courage to look at the land, rivers, and forests below their feet at the edge of the cloud.

They didn’t know that flying was so comfortable.

They even saw their camp from two days earlier, and the black traces that their bonfire left behind at the turn of the river.

It took them more than two days to travel from here to Delpon, yet it only took this Mage slightly more than an hour.

That was the power of a Mage!

It was mysterious and marvelous. They looked at Roland with awe and admiration.

The cloud continued flying. About three hours later, they arrived at the border of the country. Then, flying across the high mountain, they saw the boundless Red Desert of Urganda.

If they were on the ground, the sand in the desert was yellow. However, there was red dust in the middle of the sand. It wasn’t obvious when mixed in the sand, but it could be picked up easily by the wind and make the sky of the desert red.

Therefore, Urganda was also known as the Red Desert.

The residents of this place were called the Red Desert Dwellers.

Roland stopped the cloud and asked them, “In which direction does your village lie?”

The four villagers all pointed northeast.

Telling the way in the desert was a necessary skill for all the locals here.

They counted on it to survive. It was just like how the fishermen who lived near the sea were better at holding their breath than the inlanders.

About another four hours of flight later, they saw a black spot on the horizon at four in the afternoon, when it was getting dark. The villagers got excited and shouted, “We’re almost there! We’re almost there!”

Roland sped up and soon hovered above the black spot, which turned out to be a fairly large village. It had more than three hundred sand cottages and an oasis nearby.

Not far away to the left of the oasis, there were a bunch of colorful flashes that looked like the rays reflected by countless pieces of glass.
