Chapter 292 - Damn! (1/2)

Flap! Flap! Flap!

A huge bird with a wingspan of more or less two meters landed on someone's arms.

”So...are we almost there?” Michael said while looking at the huge eagle perched on Storm Moonlight's arm with an envious gaze, and he wasn't the only one, as almost all of them except for Dylan is looking at the former's pet with the same eyes as Michael.

After all, a pet that could share what it sees to its owner is quite a rarity in the game, as they are the best for scouting and tracking preys, and what's more, the said pet is very similar to one of the most dangerous birds of prey in the real world, the Golden Eagle.

But in the game, the bird's name is called Star Eagle, and they were called that because of the unique star pattern on their foreheads.

Aside from Storm Moonlight, Michael is the only one among those who had seen a full-grown Star Eagle before, and the place where he had seen them before is when he was roaming around at one of the military barracks back when he was still at Sunrise Empire.

One of Sunrise Empire's armies actually consists of a brigade of soldiers riding on the back of full-grown Star Eagles that has a wingspan of eight meters and stands at five meters tall.

And because of this elite army of the empire, they were able to rule the skies above their empire and stood over almost all of the kingdom in the continent.

On the other hand, the one perched on Storm Moonlight's arm is just an eagle in its juvenile years and hasn't reached its a.d.u.l.thood yet.

The only thing useful about this juvenile Star Eagle right now is its scouting abilities as its attacking capabilities right now is somewhat lacking.

Storm Moonlight summoned back her pet and looked at Michael and the rest before replying, ”Two more days, once we reach that mountain range over, then we'll be on the lands of the Grey Orcs”

She pointed towards a towering mountain in the distance, which certainly doesn't look that far from where they are standing, but the only problem for them is the snow that piled up around them that reaches their knees which made traversing hard for them as it takes a lot of energy and time just lifting their foot and stepping forward.

After that, the group once again continued on their journey on foot.

”I shouldn't have agreed to come with you guys”

Dylan who was walking behind Michael complained in a sour tone, as he would raise his foot awkwardly and step forward like he was trying to avoid stepping on poop.

”You can always go back brat, no one's stopping you” Chakram sneered with a laugh.

Dylan looked and clicked his tongue and said, ”Tsk, I really don't like you old man”

Chakram just laughed at him in a creepy manner, which gave Dylan the goosebumps.

Hearing what's happening behind him, Michael just smiled and thought.

'That old man just loves creeping the shit out of Dylan'

Meanwhile, on the other hand.

Solitary Tempest and Storm Moonlight are having their own conversation by themselves.

”You...want to learn how to cook from me?” Storm Moonlight said in a doubtful tone as she thought that she's hearing things.

”Yeah, Michael told me that you cooked most of the food back then during your housewarming party. It was really good” Solitary Tempest said with an eager expression on her face.

”I don't know how to cook. It was Tony who did the cooking back then” Storm Moonlight said, not admitting it.

Solitary Tempest raised an eyebrow and looked at her with doubtful eyes.

”But Michael told me that you were once a three-star Michelin chef”

When Storm Moonlight heard what Solitary Tempest said, a shiver suddenly ran through her spine as she remembered some memories that she long forgot, but she just closed her eyes and continued moving forward as she ignored Solitary Tempest and didn't say anything on what latter said to her.

Seeing that Storm Moonlight is ignoring her, Solitary Tempest didn't insist but made a mental note to ask the former again later when the group makes camp to take a rest.

Five hours later.

Midday.

The group made a clearing until they reached a somewhat hard but muddy ground around a group of trees covered in ice and snow.

The trees around them that have the same appearance as an Evergreen Tree, but in this world, these trees are called the Elven Tree.
