Insufficient balance

  Zhan Hu smiled and said, "What's good about this? We can't fly slowly and enjoy the scenery like you mages. Using Dou Qi to fly is extremely exhausting, so we usually rush forward desperately. What mood do we have to appreciate the view?"

  "It's all right as long as I can fly, I don't know when I'll master this skill."

  "Winter said: "Alright, you're already terrifying enough. You've become a demon master before the age of 20, and now you want to practice Sky Knight? That's too demanding, isn't it?"

  Winter's words got everyone's widespread recognition, even General Tiger told me not to be too ambitious and focus on studying magic. Although I'm the strongest in the team, except for Winter, I'm the youngest, so I have no choice but to listen to them. I can only obey and never mention flying again.

  Renwa City is the first city we entered after arriving in Daru Kingdom, and it's indeed a commercial kingdom. Even in this marginal city, commerce is very developed, and the bustling streets are extraordinary, as if everyone is immersed in the fun of buying and selling.

  We first found a relatively good inn to stay in, anyway we didn't lack money, I still hadn't spent much of the 1000 diamond coins that Teacher Di gave me when I left home, let alone War Tiger big brother who also had a lot of money on him. After dinner, everyone gathered together to start studying our route.

  I spread the map on the table, pointing to the area representing the Daru Kingdom and said: "Everyone look, we are now here, walking south for more than 400 kilometers will reach Kana Province, Teacher Di said that the holy sword is in a certain place in Kana Province, such as mountains and forests, these are what we need to search for, does anyone have any opinions?"

  Zhan Hu said: "This map of yours is too general, I think it's best to buy a more detailed map of the province, we'll mark all the possible places and then search for them one by one. What do you guys think?" Zhan Hu's suggestion immediately gained everyone's approval.

  Xiu Shi said: "Now it can only be like this, our clues are too few, we can only use the method of casting a net to catch fish, and when searching, we must be more careful, and we must not miss any suspicious place."

  "Winter days: 'Now we are not afraid of encountering danger, with our strength, we should be able to cope, what we fear most is that we can't find the place at all.'"

  I sighed: "Yes! Let's go, Dong Ri, the two of us will first go buy a map that can save us some trouble. We'll come back and study it later. Big brother, you guys just rest for now, we'll all go eat together when we get back."

  I and Dong Ri arrived on the bustling main street, casually inquired about it and found a small shop selling maps. I looked around and saw that they were all maps of various places. The owner walked over and asked: "Sir, which map do you want? We have the most complete collection here, basically covering the entire continent, including those from Western Continent."

  I exclaimed in surprise: "Oh! There's even a map of the Western Continent, can I take a look?" The Demon and Beastman tribes have always been mysterious to me, so I wanted to see what differences there were between their lands and those of the Eastern Continent.

  The boss took a small cylinder with two sealed ends, opened one end and poured out a sheepskin map from inside, which looked somewhat yellowed and should have been for quite some time.

  He handed me the map and said, "Sir, this is a heirloom of our family, it's a map of the Western Continent over 200 years ago. The Western Continent should have changed somewhat now, but the general location is still correct."

  I took the map, which was drawn in great detail, with many small places marked out. I found the capital of the Demon Clan, Satan City, on the left side of the map, and couldn't help but think of that stunningly beautiful demon girl I had met before. Would she be there? Thinking about her breathtaking face, I fell into a daze.

  "Longbow, Longbow, what are you doing? Holding a map of the Western Continent and staring at it, hurry up and get to work!" Winter urged me on the side.

  I just woke up from my daydream, "Huh? What did you say? Oh, I see. Boss, can you give me a map of the Cana province and this map of the Western Continent as well? How much do they cost in total?"

  The boss said: "That map of the province costs two copper coins, and this map of Western Continent will cost you two diamond coins."

  "Winter Day shouted loudly: 'Two diamond coins, you'd better go rob. Long Bow, return that broken map to him.'"

  I held out my hand to stop the winter day, took out a purple crystal card from my bosom and handed it over to the boss. The boss's face changed when he saw the purple crystal card, obviously knowing that we were not ordinary people. With a smile all over his face, he said: "This humble person really has eyes but doesn't recognize Mount Tai, this map of the province will be given to you for free, but as for the map of Western Continent..."

  I waved my hand impatiently and said, "Just charge whatever it is, hurry up." The shopkeeper saw that I was really going to buy it and didn't say anything else. He used the purple crystal card to swipe the payment and respectfully returned it to me. I tossed the map of Western Continent into the subspace bag, took out the map of Cana Province, and walked with Dong Ri towards the inn.

  As I walked, I asked Dong Ri: "This time you came out and didn't bring that little red sister of yours along, haha."

  "On a cold winter day, he smiled wryly and said: 'Don't get me started on that. I didn't even tell her this time when I came out. What's her status, what's my status? We're just not possible.'"

  "Alright, you're here again. How many times have I told you? Don't be so self-deprecating! You're not worse than anyone else. Just say whether you like Hong Xue or not!"

  His face turned red on a winter day, and he muttered: "It's okay."

  "Haha, that's just great! I can tell Red Snow likes you too. What could be happier than two people loving each other? Just go for it and pursue her openly, Teacher Wen will definitely support you. This time you didn't say goodbye before leaving, Red Snow must have been very sad. When you get back, you must go apologize to her."

  "Let's talk about it when we get back!"

  All along the way on winter days, he didn't speak again. It seemed that he was thinking of his sister Hongxue, and I didn't disturb him either.

  Back at the hotel, Da Ge War Tiger saw me holding the map and smiled: "You bought it! Put it aside for now, let's go eat first, everyone is starving to death. We'll study the map when we get back."

  We found a quiet table in the hotel's restaurant and sat down, ordered a sumptuous meal, and began to comfort our stomachs. For so many days, we hadn't had a good meal, this meal was eaten with great relish, and it cost more than 40 gold coins, what a pity!
