Chapter 840 Wind Fores
Mag woke up early the next morning and cooked some breakfast for Amy, as well as some lunch for her to eat during her lessons. Only after doing that did he wake Amy up. If everything went smoothly, he should be back before sunset.
Due to the fact that more and more customers had been lining up in the morning outside the restaurant in recent times, Mag wrote up a sign and plastered it to the doors of the restaurant after breakfast, and then took Amy to Chaos School on his bicycle.
“I’m taking a day’s break to source some new ingredients. A new dish, stinky tofu, will be released tomorrow.”
All of the customers who had gathered outside Mamy Restaurant early in the morning were looking at the sign with complex expressions on their faces.
“I’m already used to Boss Mag regularly going out to source new ingredients, and I always really look forward to his new dishes, but I still feel a little disgruntled.”
“I support sourcing new ingredients, but... what is this stinky tofu? Could it be that it’s actually tofu that’s stinky?”
“Is this some kind of new tofu pudding flavor?” someone suggested.
Everyone’s expressions changed upon hearing this. Could it be that Boss Mag had invented some kind of unorthodox new flavor?
Thus, all of the regular customers of Mamy Restaurant departed with a smorgasbord of emotions running through their minds.

“Boss Mag, I hope you can keep this up.” Krassu nodded with a pleased expression as he looked at Mag. This was the first time he hadn’t taken Amy out to source ingredients with him.
After departing from Chaos School, Mag rode his bicycle out of the city through the southern city gate, riding down the main path for around a quarter of an hour, and then diverging onto a smaller path that led toward the tall mountain that reached all the way up into the clouds in the southwestern direction.
Half an hour later, Mag stored his bicycle in a safe place, and then arrived at the foot of the mountain. After inspecting the surrounding area to ensure that there was no one around, he began to climb up the mountain.
This mountain was known as Raoh Mountain, and it was situated around 10 kilometers southwest of Chaos City. The mountain was rife with bushes and weeds, with very few tall trees, and it was a steep and treacherous climb given the loose sand and rocks all over its surface. There were also very few magic beasts and wild beasts that appeared in the surrounding area, so it normally didn’t attract a lot of human activity, either.
Mag skipped up the mountain, leaping several meters with every single step, rapidly hurtling toward the summit.
His body of a 5th-tier knight had provided him with explosive jumping power and speed. On top of that, after recovering his full power in Rodu—albeit only briefly—he had gained a far better understanding of his current power as well as superior control over his own body.
This was a wonderful feeling, just as if his body and soul had truly combined as one, allowing him to use every single shred of power within his body to perfection in order to unleash the most power.
Within a dark cave near the mountain summit, a pair of purple eyes slowly opened before turning toward the opening of the cave.
A humanoid figure appeared at the opening, shining a bright light into the cave to illuminate the colossal being within.
Mag looked on as the purple-striped griffin rushed over to him with an excited look on its face, and said, “Ah Zi, we have to go somewhere.”
“Howl~”
Ah Zi rubbed its massive head against Mag’s body before howling with excitement like a dog that hadn’t seen its owner in a long time.
“Shh!”
Mag hurriedly urged to be quiet with a resigned look on his face. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t help but feel that this was a husky in a griffin’s body.
After returning to Chaos City, Mag had asked the purple-striped griffin to reside on this mountain.
Even though it was behaving like an overzealous puppy, as a 10th-tier magic beast, it possessed a high level of intelligence, so it had been able to reside on Raoh Mountain during this period of time with no issues.
Mag strode deep into the cave to pick up the Tian Du sword, and then put on a black robe and a mask before jumping onto the griffin’s back, instructing, “Ah Zi, take me to the Wind Forest. Fly a bit higher than normal and try to avoid being noticed.”
Ah Zi let loose another howl as an affirmative response, and then withdrew its wings as it made its way to the opening of the cave. It leaped out of the cave before abruptly spreading open its wings, and in the blink of an eye, it had disappeared into the clouds amid a loud sonic boom.
Mag held onto a protruding scale on Ah Zi’s back tightly and looked around at the rapidly receding scenery with excitement etched on his face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was a completely different feeling from sitting on an airplane. After all, there were no convertible planes with retractable roofs.
The feathers on the griffin’s neck were perfectly positioned to shield Mag from the buffeting winds. Otherwise, just the high-velocity winds alone would’ve made it quite difficult for him to sit securely on the griffin’s back.
On the last occasion when he’d ridden Ah Zi, the situation had been too urgent, so Mag hadn’t got a good chance to experience the joy of riding the most renowned steed on the Norland Continent. Now, he was naturally going to enjoy himself to the fullest.
Of course, it was more important for him to acclimate himself to riding and fighting alongside Ah Zi. After all, if he were to encounter a dire situation, his biggest trump card would be this powerful purple-striped griffin rather than the system.
The griffin whizzed through the clouds and after leaving Chaos City, it began to perform all types of aerobatic tricks like swooping down from high altitude and flying through narrow valleys, making what would otherwise have been a rather boring trip quite a fun and exhilarating one instead.
Chaos City was quite far away from the Wind Forest. Warden Lake was situated in the northern region of the forest, thereby making it an even further destination. However, the purple-striped griffin was extraordinarily fast, and it only took less than an hour for a lush forest that spread as far as the eyes could see to appear in Mag’s field of vision.
This was a lush tropical forest with greenery that stretched beyond the horizon. There were countless massive trees that were hundreds of meters tall, and flying beasts roamed the forest in a leisurely manner, seemingly living in a place that was isolated from the rest of the world.
Further up in the north, there was a teardrop-shaped lake that was like a shimmering blue gem under the radiant sunlight.
Mag looked on at this marvelous spectacle with his mouth slightly agape. There was very little information regarding the elven race in Alex’s memories, and there were no memories of the Wind Forest at all, so this was his first time seeing the Wind Forest.
He had once tried to trek across the entire Amazon Rainforest, but that trip came to a premature end due to health reasons. However, the Wind Forest was even larger in surface area than the Amazon Rainforest, and its temperatures and humidity were also far more pleasant. The source of this ᴄontent is Noᴠelꜰire
“Fly a bit higher, then we’ll skirt around from that direction and head straight to Warden Lake,” Mag instructed as he looked on at the grand forest splayed out before him.
The purple-striped griffin flapped its wings and rose up even higher, and then proceeded to fly around the Wind Forest en route to Warden Lake.
...
At the center of the Wind Forest, there were already many elves who had gathered to attend the ceremony, which was going to be held in the large plaza in front of the cave where the Tree of Life stood.
