Chapter 2600: City of Frost

The next day

The Wings of Dawn and Dusk could attain a height that was unreachable for most living creatures. It meant Mo Fan could just fly over the territory of most demon creatures safely. There was nothing the demon creatures could do. They might not even notice a human had just flown over their territory.

Mo Fan flew past several mountain ranges, following the Silk Road to Dunhuang.

Mo Fan did not stop throughout the flight, flying all the way from Greece to China under his own power. As Asharuiya had mentioned, the Wings might have the highest endurance in the world!

Mo Fan did not stop after reaching Dunhuang. He Summoned the Royal Stripe Gray Wolf and continued on his journey.

Dunhuang was close to Beijiang Province. It was a place full of s.p.a.cious plateaus and vast barren lands, a perfect terrain for the Royal Stripe Gray Wolf to sprint at his full speed. His stripes constantly changed magically, like they could absorb the strong winds to increase his speed.

The mountains, rifts, and rivers of sand were blurs going by. The Royal Stripe Gray Wolf could even run in the air when there were no obstacles.

Night soon came, and the moon hung above the mountains. A handsome wolf was das.h.i.+ng across the land, like a trail of wind on a peaceful and dazzling painting. The wolf had already reached the horizon before the disturbed winds had returned to their calm

Mo Fan had no idea what season it was. However, he noticed the vegetation, swamps, and ponds had a layer of frost on them when he pa.s.sed by Dongting Lake. It was like an artist had added hints of white to the greenery in a painting.

The white mist thickened late at night. The air around Dongting Lake was humid. The wind was bone-chilling as the temperature continued to drop.

Mo Fan had stayed in Dongting Lake for a while in the past. He did not remember it being this cold.

Mo Fan felt a little cold when he finally arrived in Dunhuang.

The lands from Dongting Lake to Hangzhou were mainly covered in dense vegetation. The places he visited had abundant rain. They had formed a complete ecosystem made up of wetlands, forests, mountains, and rivers.

However, the mountain streams, rivers, and ponds had already frozen because of the low temperature. The ice on them had turned quite thick in just one night.

Mo Fan thought the strange sight would disappear as he approached the east coast. However, he could not help but wonder if he was still in Beijiang as he was about to reach Hangzhou.

Even the West Ridge, the territory of the White Magic Falcons, was fully white. The city in the distance was also covered in snow. Hangzhou was even more stunning than usual.

Mo Fan had already noticed Hangzhou was different. The safe zone had shrunk. The towns and villages on its outskirts were gone. An artificial river had set up a clear boundary between the city and the wild.

The river was natural on one end, and artificial on the other.

Mo Fan drew closer to the river and saw tight security around it. Walls were built along every segment of the river.

Battlemages were on duty on the walls. They were alerted when they saw the Royal Stripe Gray Wolf coming at them, and almost sounded the alarm.

A group of Battlemages atop their Heavenly Eagles approached Mo Fan. They circled above Mo Fan as the captain swooped down and called out, Summoned Beasts arent allowed in the city!

I know the rules, but what are you guarding the city against? Arent the sea monsters coming from the other side? Mo Fan asked, while pointing to the east.

You should have encountered something if you came from the West Ridge. Oh, they must have avoided you because of your Summoned Beast, the captain mentioned.

The captain did not chat further with Mo Fan. He only asked Mo Fan to withdraw his Summoned Beast before he was allowed to enter the city.

Mo Fan sent away the Royal Stripe Gray Wolf and headed into the city.

The river was roughly five hundred meters away from the city. Mo Fan was too lazy to walk. A silver light erupted under his feet before he vanished into thin air.

Mo Fan appeared on the other side of the river. He was using Blink with every step he took, traveling five hundred meters with each step.

Hes d.a.m.n strong! a young man among the Battlemages exclaimed when he saw Mo Fan disappearing into the distance.

Of course he is, if he has a Ruler-level Summoned Beast. I bet he purposely suppressed his Summoned Beasts Aura. Otherwise, our Heavenly Eagles would have been forced to stand as still as statues.

Who is he? He looks a little familiar

Normally, a populated city would be slightly warmer, but Mo Fan did not feel any warmth as he reached the city.

Mo Fan went to West Lake. Xinxia was probably at her alma mater.

Why does it feel like West Lake is freezing, too? Mo Fan looked at the calm surface of the lake.

Mo Fan went to the school and headed straight for Xinxias apartment.

Xinxia had not brought her guards with her as usual. She had only brought a female knight and Tata, who was always by her side.

She was staying at her old apartment complex, but had switched to a bigger unit.

Mo Fan heard from Asharuiya that every Saintess was obliged to take a month off, also known as the Peace Month, in the year prior to the election. The Saintesses would pick the month themselves. They did not have to handle any matters related to the Parthenon Temple. They could go travel or cultivate in seclusion.

The election to the role of the G.o.ddess was extremely compet.i.tive. The closer it was to the election, the greater the compet.i.tion. Bloodsheds and sacrifices were common during the election. The purpose of the Peace Month was to relieve the Saintesses of their duties so they could review their goals and recall their initial intentions.

It could also be thought of as a winter holiday.

Xinxia had already used up half of the Peace Month. It was a pity that Mo Fan was fooling around with another woman just a few days ago!

Mo Fan had told Xinxia to meet him at her place.

However, Mo Fan noticed a delicate woman standing on a path with white olive trees on both sides. It was the only path to the apartment.

Somehow, Mo Fan found the womans posture unusually elegant. Either he rarely saw Xinxia standing still, or she had to put in extra effort just to stand on her own.

Why didnt you wait for me inside? Mo Fan went up to Xinxia and wrapped his arm around her waist.

The position of his hand was very important.. Not only could he feel his womans slim waist, he could also touch the side of her fleshy b.u.t.tocks.
