Chapter 286

Chapter 286 Hybrids

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 .

He flew south because warmer places were generally more resourceful and populated .

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 .

From the sky, Roland could see a lot of people walking on the streets below .

Casting Unhindered Communication on himself, Roland landed on an empty ground that felt like a square .

However, he noticed something wrong the moment he landed .

The residents around him all had foxy ears, gray hair, and long fluffy tails, regardless of their gender and age .

Roland looked at them in surprise, and they looked at Roland in surprise too .

Then, their curiosity was gradually replaced by apprehension, until one of the females shouted, “Ah… a human Mage! Run!”

Her scream was like some sort of signal that activated all the people in the square .

In panic, they fled from Roland, crying out .

Many of them even threw whatever was in their hands away in order to run faster .

A senior, holding his crutch, shouted, “Take the children away first! The valiant of you, stall this human Mage with me!”

Though frightened and barely steady, the senior staggered at Roland .

Some of the middle-aged residents intended to flee, but looking at the crying children, they gritted their teeth and charged at Roland despite their fear .

It was quite a mess .

Roland was stunned . Looking at the people who were charging at him with their bare hands, he softly sighed .

Activating the spatial bubbles, Roland soared to the sky and disappeared in the horizon before those middle-aged residents reached him .

Although Roland was gone, the riot in the square lasted another ten minutes . Soon, everybody in the city learned that a human Mage was here .

Uneasiness spread through the city .

In the mayor’s office, the handsome young fox was on one of his knees . “Father, please let me hunt this human Mage down with three hundred soldiers . ”

The middle-aged vulpera who was seated high above looked at his son and said slowly, “Hirlow, are you confident in killing him?”

“No . ” Hirlow, the young lord, raised his head . His white hair had been tied into multiple ponytails, a typically female hairstyle, but he looked quite handsome . “But we can’t keep retreating now, Father . We have to teach human beings a lesson and make them feel pain, or we will always be despised by them, and they will catch us any time they want, until we all become slaves . ”

The middle-aged mayor thought for a moment and asked, “Do you have no alternatives? As the future leader, you should not risk yourself . ”

“Father, nobody is stronger than me in this whole city . Who else is more suitable for the mission than me?”

The mayor sighed and said, “Go now . Three hundred soldiers are not enough . Take five hundred . ”

“Yes, Father . ” Hirlow stood up in excitement .

Receiving what he asked for, Hirlow left in delight .

At first, he sniffed in the square and recorded Roland’s scent, which wasn’t completely gone yet .

Then, he rode a gigantic wolf out of the city with five hundred soldiers . Instead of hunting Roland directly, he went south to the shoreline where a lot of small cabins had been built .

Many green-skinned shorties were entering and exiting these cabins .
