1756 Element Banning Order (1/2)

Edited by Aelryinth

When Mo Fan returned to the coach, Tao Jing stared at him with a confused face. She finally asked, ”What were you doing?”

”Practicing my spell, but it's nothing like I imagined,” Mo Fan sighed.

”You seem pretty diligent, yet why is your cultivation not that impressive?” Tao Jing had to ask.

”Maybe I just look diligent. Many times, I only went somewhere with fresh air and beautiful ladies to take a nap,” Mo Fan laughed.

”...” Tao Jing was left speechless. He had somehow even complimented her when he was describing himself as lazy.

”See, Tao Jing, I already told you that you should be careful of people who show up out of nowhere and try to get closer to you. They might have some ulterior motives. You shouldn't invite people like him again!” Zhou Donghao spoke up quickly.

Tao Jing could not care less about him. Mo Fan glanced at Zhou Donghao and shook his head speechlessly.

A person with such a low EQ like him should not even bother trying to flirt with women. She only saw him as an acquaintance, yet he was already trying to control her with his male chauvinism. It would be ridiculous if Tao Jing was fond of someone like him!

Inner qualities mattered. A man should be gentle and considerate, like him! Otherwise, why would Tao Jing take the initiative to invite him, instead of someone else?

Dingcheng had been famous for a long time. It was the most influential Earth Element city after Lhasa. Many Earth Mages had gathered here.

Mo Fan was only a primary school student when it came to the Earth Element. He obediently followed the arrangement of the seniors of the Earth Element Club. He politely and humbly entered the city that had been completely built up using a kind of gray-white rock.

It was not a residential city, but a military fortress. It did not have many forms of public transports like a normal city, and even the buildings were constructed with wood and stone. There was no sign of the reinforced glass, windows, elevators, and air-conditioners that were common in a city.

Only Mages were allowed to enter a military fortress. Normal people, including merchants, were not allowed to enter. It was not discrimination against them, but because there was a chance for a military fortress to be invaded by demon creatures at any second. Normal people would not be able to protect themselves!

After the coach made its slow way into the city, Mo Fan realized the city was a lot bigger than he had imagined. It had even broken the mold when choosing a suitable place to build a city. It was built on a mountain, instead of a flatland!

Mo Fan could see the entire side of the city from his angle, but from afar, it looked like the buildings were irregularly placed around a huge rocky mountain. It was both messy and in order. It was a strange sight, indeed!

”It's just like people have described it!” Mo Fan exclaimed when he saw it better.

The city played an important role in the country, since it provided supplies of stone and Earth Element resources to a lot of cities. As the sea level rose, many headquarter cities had to set up their defenses and build long dams, greatly increasing the demand for stone supplies. Dingcheng had become a super factory, supplying the cities along the coastline with stone. Huge trucks were constantly heading north and south to deliver the supplies. Some described Dingcheng as the Stone Heart of China. Mo Fan could not help but agree with them after seeing it in person.

The city was indeed like a huge pounding heart, pumping blood to the rest of the country!

”Strange, why are there so many soldiers in the city?” Lin Qihui asked, looking confused.

”People are crowding at the entrance. Is there a queue to enter the city?”

Mo Fan went down the bus and saw the city gates were no longer allowing vehicles to drive inside. As a matter of fact, the vehicles were struggling to go anywhere, since the entrance was crowded with people!

”Why aren't we allowed to enter the city? We've been living here for a long time! Is this how the military is going to treat us Hunters!?” a Mage dressed like a Hunter shouted angrily.

”Yeah, so what if we aren't Earth Mages? We've never heard of any cities that ban other Elements!”
