Mo Fan was a little down after bidding farewell to Xinxia. Little Flame Belle had gone with her mother, leaving him with a snake demoness and a simple-minded wolf. Mo Fan lacked a sense of security without the power from Little Flame Belle’s Possess and her two Soul-grade Flames.

Now that he thought about it, he had been relying too much on Little Flame Belle. Little Flame Belle had given his Fire Element the ability to overpower those at the same level as him without him acquiring powerful Soul-grade Seeds and cultivating diligently.

However, it was important for him to grow stronger too! His Fire Element had to improve further since it was his foundation. He also had to tackle the shortcomings of his Fire Element when he was not being Possessed by Little Flame Belle.

Even without the Fire Element, he still had six other Elements. Some of their spells were quite useless since he never practiced them seriously. The enemies he was going to face would only get stronger from here on, so his spells would be even more useless if he did not practice them.

The battle at Xiamen had helped Mo Fan realize that he would never be strong enough. However, if he kept improving, he would be able to do more things!

(Ed. Note: Oi, it’s like he has realized he has to be a… versatile mage…)

The wind was chilly when you were high in the sky. The white clouds were scattered below like sheets of ice, creating a spectacular view. The mountainous folds of the lands under the clouds were visible when the clouds were thinner. The mountains, valleys, and roads had become little wrinkles, scars, and cracks from so high above.

“I didn’t think the Parthenon Temple knew such a fascinating route. This is great. I can save some money not buying a flight ticket,” Mo Fan laid back on Kris’ Steel Griffin and crossed his legs.

Kris was a responsible man. As the purser of the flight, not only did he provide the group with his Steel Griffin, which had outstanding endurance and comfortable hair on its back, he had also set up a magic barrier along the journey to protect his pa.s.sengers from the wind. The breeze was gentle and soothing.

“It’s also my first time taking this route. It’s all thanks to Muse Pelina, Priest Dowell, and the rest of the knights,” Kris said politely. He was paying great respect to the others who were traveling with them.

The routes for commercial flights had become quite dangerous lately, as demon creatures had moved into the airs.p.a.ce. Nine out of ten flights from Greece to China were canceled, so Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan could only get a lift from Kris since they were in a rush.

Kris was demoted to an Attendant Mage in the Hall of Faith as his punishment. He was currently taking orders from Priest Dowell.

However, Priest Dowell was in Xinxia’s faction. He was Fiona’s elder brother. The arrangement basically meant Kris was to go on missions for some time as his punishment. He would slowly be promoted again sometime later.

He could no longer be a knight, but the Parthenon Temple had other halls than the Hall of Knights. If he could secure a foothold in the Hall of Faith and be promoted to a Priest, it might actually work out better for him.

A Priest was on par with a Golden Sun Knight in terms of their ranks. However, the Golden Sun Knights usually earned more respect, since they were closer to the Muses. That being said, Priests usually had more authority in their hands since every decision made by the members of the Parthenon Temple had to go through them.

Pelina was a Muse. No one knew which faction she was in, since she had not chosen a side during the election.

Pelina often went out to handle external affairs. She was not interested in the infighting in the Parthenon Temple. When Tata learned Pelina was going to the Scar of the Tianshan Mountain, she paid the Muse a visit and asked her to give Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan a lift when she realized Mo Fan was being forced to stay at the Parthenon Temple for a few more days because the flights to China were canceled.

Tata had agreed to make Kris the Attendant Mage of one of the Priests, just so Mo Fan would leave earlier. It was also a chance for Kris to atone for his mistakes.

Kris was very excited when he heard he had the chance to go on an adventure with Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan. Zhao Manyan had shared their exciting adventures when they were traveling around the world, including the encounters in the Amazon, the Sahara Desert, and at the Pyramids…

Every man had an adventurous spirit in their bones. Kris had always been obedient to his clan, and had never done anything that overstepped his bounds as he grew up. When he was expelled by the Hall of Knights, he actually felt somewhat relieved, since he could finally do something he wanted!

“Kris, did the people of your clan trouble you after what happened?” a Silver Moon Knight that was serving a Muse among the knights asked.

“Brother William, they just told me not to go back… so I decided to tag along,” Kris smiled.

“…” The Silver Moon Knight was left speechless. He let out a sigh and did not say anything.

“It’s fine, Kris, we all knew whose fault it was. You didn’t have a choice. If you do well in this mission, I can recommend you as a Probationary Priest. I remember you scored perfect grades in the courses for Priests. Why did you end up becoming a knight?” Priest Dowell had high hopes for Kris.

“Well… it was my stepmother’s suggestion. She believed being a knight was more fitting for our family’s situation,” Kris replied softly.

“Kris scored perfect grades in the courses for knights too,” William added.

“Impressive, muddlehead! I didn’t expect you to be so good at your studies. It’s fine; just hang around with us, I can guarantee that you’ll be able to make a name for yourself!” Zhao Manyan smiled confidently.

William glanced at Mo Fan disdainfully. “It’s already a relief if he doesn’t stir up more trouble!”

Muse Pelina glanced at them briefly too, as if she was sharing the same thought. She added since someone had mentioned it, “I’m only bringing you two along because I gave Tata my promise. I hope you two won’t bring me any trouble or interfere with my mission. I’m only going to bring you to the Scar of the Tianshan Mountain. Whatever happens after that is no longer my concern.”

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan grinned after hearing Pelina’s proud and impatient words.

“She seems to be looking down on us,” Zhao Manyan whispered to Mo Fan.

“It’s pretty obvious. She doesn’t even want to lay her eyes on us when she’s talking to us. She’s looking into the sky instead,” Mo Fan said.

“d.a.m.n it, I can’t stand arrogant chicks like her. What a pity, Mu Bai has pa.s.sed away at such a young age. Otherwise, I would definitely ask him to mix some drugs so I could bring her to the Heavens instead!” Zhao Manyan scoffed.
