Setting Off for the Capital

Inside the fortress of Irwin, it was as bright as day under the Light spell. The soldiers were ready and waiting for Princess Celia's order to depart.

After the battle, Irwin's protective barrier needed to be rearranged. They also needed to leave men to guard the fortress against another attack by the Allied Forces of Light. But Celia could not stop at Fort Irwin. She had to return to the capital with her unconscious teacher, Klent, so that he could be treated. She had left half her army to defend the fortress.

Celia's robe flapped in the strong wind. She gave the order. "Let's go!" Then a chant came from her. At this moment, the sky suddenly turned turbulent.

There was a roar in the sky, and the hexagram lit up above Mo Fan. The space above fluctuated violently, and a huge shadow struggled in the hexagram. A violent aura stirred the air above, and a Pegasus appeared in the hexagram.

The Pegasus was snow-white except for a strand of golden mane that shone in the night. Huge wings sprouted from its back. The contours of its wings were smooth and powerful, as if it could shoot straight into the clouds with a single flap. It landed beside Celia and lowered its huge head.

The Pegasus was a flying beast with a gentle personality. It didn't need a high-level mage to ride it. Even a low-level mage could ride it easily. But it wasn't easy for an ordinary mage to get a Pegasus. A snow-white purebred Pegasus like Celia's was even rarer. Celia's Pegasus was a congratulatory gift from the Royal Skadi Tamer. Such a beautiful Pegasus was rare in the entire Azure Continent.

The Pegasus was like a small mountain. Celia, the girl, stood next to it, looking especially small. Mo Fan looked at the Pegasus, who stayed beside Celia, as obedient as a kitten. It didn't have the violent aura it had when it appeared. Mo Fan's mount in the game was more special. It was called Cerberus. In layman's terms, it was a three-headed hound from the underworld. It was ugly, but it was powerful. Ordinary people didn't dare approach it.

Celia looked at Mo Fan and said, "Sir Mage, if you don't mind, please ride on the same mount as me."

Mo Fan had no objection at all, and nodded very calmly. Celia and Mo Fan stood side by side in front of the Pegasus' huge wings, and Celia stroked its long white fur. As if on command, the Pegasus' four powerful hooves sprang into action, and its muscular body galloped forward.

At the same time, the knights moved their mounts in unison, keeping close to Princess Celia. The legion followed behind, heading northeast in an impressive display of power. The strong wind rose, scattering the earth which was trodden upon. The army marched through the night in a grand manner like the sound of thunder.

…

The first glimmer of light appeared in the east. Golden sunlight and a light breeze greeted Mo Fan and Celia. The Skadi Legion was marching fast. They had long since left the fortress of Irwin behind. Now they were in the northeast of the Skadi Kingdom, in a range of hills called Sextus. The high, rolling hills stretched so far that one could not see the end.

In the northeast, there was a long mountain range. The mountain range seemed to rise into the clouds, as if it wanted to isolate the entire continent. Mo Fan found it strange at first. Celia had told him that this mountain range that stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers was called Vindobona. On the other side of the mountain range was the mysterious Magical Beast Forest!

Mo Fan's eyes lit up. The name told him that the forest of magical beasts was the den of magical beasts. He turned to look at Celia. The girl's curly blond hair was a little messy under her jeweled crown. When she looked at him, her eyes were as lively as those of a forest deer.

Mo Fan focused on the pointy ears that were barely visible through the curls. His eyes shifted and met the little princess's green eyes. He smiled and said to her, "The little princess is like an elf in the forest."

Mo Fan wasn't talking about the little elves with tiny wings that lived in the trees in the forest. He was talking about night elves. Night elves had slightly longer pointed ears and carried bows. They were blond, blue-eyed, tall, and similar to humans, but they were beautiful and far better looking than humans. Celia and Mo Fan looked at each other and the blush on her face deepened. She said to him seriously, "The Skadi royal family has elven bloodline, so my ears are pointed and my eyes are green.

Some of my ancestors even grew elf wings. But in my generation, the elven bloodline is too ancient. My eyes aren't the purest green."

Mo Fan suddenly asked, "Are there still elves in this world?"

Celia said, "Of course."

She continued, "There are not only elves in this world. There are goblins, magical beasts, dwarfs…"

Look at the mountain range I was telling you about, Sir Mage."

Princess Celia reached out and pointed to the northeast. It was the mountain range that stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers between the low hills. The mountain range was very high, and its summit was white as snow. Halfway up the mountain, however, there were large patches of thick greenery. At first glance, they looked like two different worlds.

"On this side of the Vindobona and the mountains is the territory of the Skadi Kingdom. On the other side is the world of the beasts. On that side is a vast forest called the Magical Beast Forest."

The mage nodded. Celia had mentioned it briefly.

"And the Elven people have lived in the southern part of the Beast Forest since ancient times."

Celia explained the environment and geography of this world to Mo Fan one by one. Mo Fan looked at the mountain range in the distance. Since there are also magical beasts and elves in this world, this is probably not far from the game world. Mo Fan was sure that the setting of this world was definitely similar to the setting in the game. Even if there was a difference, it was definitely not much different.

Celia continued to introduce the places to Mo Fan. "There are dozens of small countries scattered across the Azure Continent. Most of these small countries are inhabited by humans.

There are some mixed-race humans in this world, but most of them live in countries close to the Magical Beast Forest.

Magical beasts live in the Magical Beast Mountains. Elves live in the forests to the south. They all have their own territories and don't invade each other. But sometimes there are riots in the Magical Beast Forest. The magical beasts will attack the human cities."
