    Swoosh!


    The crowd was quite swift, and they approached Astonv Manor. However, when Yang Ling was about to fly toward the castle’s gate atop the flying dragons’ backs, the experienced Wilcox quickly chased after him. “Brother Yang Ling, stop! Stop quickly. You shouldn’t ever fly into the castle’s gate.”


    “Why? Could it be that those are the manor’s rules?” The Bald Mammoth Barthy was next to Yang Ling, and he opened his eyes wide in confusion.


    “No, both Wanderer Camps and Wanderer Castles don’t have any open rule that forbids people from approaching them on Magical Beasts’ back. But, there isn’t any Wanderer who dared to ride on a Magical Beast rudely and approach them openly.” Wilcox smiled and said, “The reason behind this is just respect for the castle’s lord.”


    Powerhouses were respected. The peerless powerhouses who protected Wanderer Camps and Wanderer Castles were even more respected and esteemed.


    “Fine, let’s go down. Let’s go inside Astonv Manor and see what are the differences between it and other camps.” Yang Ling patted the flying dragon beneath him and descended on the ground. After everyone descended, he quickly moved the flying dragons into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension and walked toward the castle’s gate withrge strides.


    “Wee to Astonv Manor!” There were knights in heavy armor guarding the gate, and there was still arge distance between them and the team, yet they had already revealed a sincere smile at them. What was surprising was that there was still a pretty female warrior among them and she also wore standard heavy armor. If one didn’t observe them, he wouldn’t manage to notice her from a distance.


    “Huh? Don’t we have to pay some Crystal Coins or ck Crystals?” Yang Ling was surprised by this. He assumed that they would have to pay arge sum to go inside and didn’t expect that the warriors in guard would just smile at them and beckon at them to go inside.


    “The City Lord stated that Astonv Manor won’t refuse any Wanderers even if he’s so poor that he can’t pay a single ck Crystal and even if he’s hunted down by myriad enemies. As long as he didn’tmit any of the three most grave crimes, our Astonv Manor will protect him,” When the pretty female warrior spoke of the City Lord, V Aston, her face became filled with respect.


    “Huh? What are the three most grave crimes?” Yang Ling got quite interested in the mysterious City Lord, V Aston.


    “People who ughtered ordinary people, raped women, or were zealous over wars aren’t weed in our Astonv Manor, and they also won’t be protected by us.” A warrior with arge beard spoke before he shut his mouth. He was motionless like a stone statue and he was quite different from the cordial female warrior.


    “Is it the secr word’s paradise or criminals’ camps?” Yang Ling was quite curious and confused. He led the crowd and crossed the gate. He entered the majestic castle.


    In the past, he got the memory of the dwarf and the Abyssal Demons by absorbing their souls. He got some understanding about various nes’mon knowledge. But, he would only get a deep impression about some matters upon experiencing them by himself.


    The castle was quiterge, and it had arge expanse of gardens, as well as many stores. There were taverns reeking of wine, auction houses with luxurious decorations, and hotels that upied arge expanse. It was evening and was probably why many Wanderers came out to drink several cups. There was arge steam of people but none dared to mess around in the castle.


    Yang Ling’s group stopped in a hotel and sat in its pub. They called over the waiters and asked them to serve them steamy food and drink. Everything here was more expensive than in Tailun Continent; even Rum cost 10 ck Crystals. If this figure was converted into Purple Crystal Coins, then it would be around 1,000 Purple Crystal Coins. But, the rum’s taste was pretty good, and it was better than the rum made by Wissen Castle’s winemakers. It would leave a sweet vor in one’s mouth with just a single sip.


    “We don’t have to pay money to enter the castle, but the stuff inside is too expensive.” When the Corpse Wizard King saw the expensive dishes on the menu, he poured the mellow rum for himself and shook his head.


    “That is a matter of course, why don’t you look where we are?” Richardson chuckled and took a cup of rum given to him by the beauty, S. He drank the cup in one gulp and said, “It’s still fine for ordinary stuff. But if you want to buy excellent weapons and armor or ride the God-Level Magical Beasts in the castle and leave for the Wanderer Castle, then you would understand what is truly expensive.”


    “If we ride Two-Headed Chimeras from here to the Wanderer Castle, we would spend around five days, and every person has to pay 10,000 ck Crystals. If you ride the swifter Draconic Eagles, then we will reach our destination in three days, but every person has to pay 50,000 ck Crystals. As for the swiftest Purple Sky Bird, we will reach the distant Wanderer Castle in two or four hours, but every person must pay at least 500,000 ck Crystals.” Wilcox shook his head and let out a bitterugh.


    The Two-Headed Chimeras, Draconic Eagles, and Purple Sky Birds would all fly at full-speed. This was especially true for the Purple Sky Bird, which was known as the fastest Flying Magical Beast, and this bird also couldunch sharp attacks. It was a pity there were very few and that they were difficult to tame. They would have to spend a sky-high sum of ck Crystals every time they rode one.


    “We will get to reach the distant Wanderer Castle in only two or four hours. That’s no slower than long-distance teleportations, is it?” Yang Ling’s eyes lit up.


    If he could tame a group of Purple Sky Birds, then the crowd’s speed would be raised by many folds, and they would be able to fly atop the Abyssal Demons’ heads. They would be able to directly rush into the Moon River. If he could tame a group of Purple Sky Birds, he would be able to form a Swift Response Corps. This corps would catch the enemy’s off guard, and if he wanted to retreat, no one would manage to chase after him.


    “If I have to spend 500,000 ck Crystals to ride the Purple Sky Bird one time, how many ck Crystals I must pay to buy it directly?” Yang Ling questioned Wilcox who was next to him.


    “Buying a Purple Sky Bird?” Wilcox shook his head and drank a cup of rum in one gulp. “Brother Yang Ling, if you have enough ck Crystals, then you will be able to buy Two-Headed Chimeras or Draconic Eagles, but don’t ever dream about a Purple Sky Bird. I have visited many ces in the past years, yet I have never heard about any ce where Purple Sky Birds are sold. Even if it can be bought somewhere, we won’t be able to buy it.”


    “That is right, even if you work hard for several hundred years, you won’t afford to buy even its feathers.” Richardson chuckled and poured a cup of rum for Yang Ling.


    “I can’t afford to buy it now. But that doesn’t mean that I won’t be able to afford itter.” Yang Ling took a sip of the mellow rum before he paused for a moment and said. “Let’s go, after we finish the meal, we must leave and take a look at the Purple Sky Bird’s appearance. Oh, by the way, did you ever hear where is wild Purple Sky Birds’ habitat?”


    Even though he couldn’t buy the Purple Sky Bird with money, Yang Ling still didn’t give up. He hoped to tame a wild Purple Sky Bird with his own hands, which would be better than spending arge sum of ck Crystals to get it. He managed to get aprehensive understanding of this affair thanks to Wilcox and Richardson.


    It was a pity that there were so few swift Purple Sky Birds. They were rarely seen in various nes, and even Wilcox, who visited many ces, had no idea where they could find wild Purple Sky Birds. It was said that they were present in the depths of the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, but they had never heard about anyone who captured one sessfully.


    After the crowd drank and ate to their fill, they left quickly. They went toward the Wanderer za in the castle. They got to hear many vigorous roars before they went inside, and those roars were mixed along with whistles that reverberated to the sky. After they went inside and took a look, they discovered that arge group of Flying Magical Beasts, which made threatening gestures, was on the Wanderer za. Some had a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a snake’s tail, and those were the Two-Headed Chimeras. There were also Draconic Eagles withrge dragon-like wings and an eagle’s body. They were all standing in rows and they formed several rows.


    “Hurry up. This is thest team flying toward the Wanderer Castle today. If you want to set off, then you must hurry up.” A warrior d in ck, heavy armor shouted and rushed over. He called over the numerous Wanderers who would travel and asked them to quickly ride the Two-Headed Chimeras or Draconic Eagles.


    Every day, many wanderers would travel between Astonv Manor and the Wanderer Castle. They would have to pay arge number of ck Crystals no matter if they rode the Two-Headed Chimeras or Draconic Eagles. Just this service alone brought unimaginable profits to Astonv Manor.


    “Tsk, tsk. they are makingrge profits daily, and this service makes more money than a gold mine.” Yang Ling shook his head and observed the Wanderers, who took out ck Crystals and rode the Flying Magical Beasts. He also looked at the small mountain of ck Crystals that was instantly piled up on the ground.


    “Hurry up, hurry up. Go over quickly.”


    “Seize the time and hurry up. If you don’t do so, we won’t get there in time.”


    ...


    A group of wanderers rushed inside hastily and took out arge number of ck Crystals from their spatial rings before they sat atop the Two-Headed Chimeras. Yang Ling was still surprised to discover that a guy came over with arge Horned Dragon that had a shockinglyrge wingspan. This dragon’s body emitted intense Energy Ripples, and it was awe-inspiring. It seemed like it possessed at least a God-Level Magical Beast’s power.


    “Huh? He has a God-Level Flying Magical Beast. So, why does he still butt in? Is it because they have too many ck Crystals?” When the Corpse Wizard King saw a person wearing a ck cloak using Contract Magic to collect a Horned Dragon before riding a Draconic Eagle, he couldn’t help but shake his head. He couldn’t understand for a moment what the matter was.


    “Some wanderers had God-Level Flying Magical Beasts as mounts, but they will usuallye here to ride Flying Magical Beasts to travel to the Distant Wanderer Pce. On the one hand, Astonv Manor’s God-Level Flying Magical Beasts are swifter; on the other hand, they will get the manor’s protection in the way they don’t have to worry about people’s ambush.” Wilcox dispelled the crowd’s confusion in time and he paused for a moment before he said, “This is the reason why arge number of people assembled in Astonv Manor.”


    “Where is the Purple Sky Bird?” Yang Ling questioned Richardson, who was next to him, and he looked everywhere for the Purple Sky Bird.


    “The Purple Sky Bird is different from the Two-Headed Chimeras and the Draconic Eagles. It will usually be shown only when they wee distinguished guests with a prominent status. How can ordinary people get to ride it?” Richardson shook his head and pointed at a tall Energy Tower in the middle of the za. He said, “Everybody, look over there. There is a Purple Sky Bird atop the tower and it won’te down in normal times.”


    When Yang Ling followed the direction pointed by Richardson and took a look, he caught a glimpse of a purple Flying Magical Beast. Its size wasn’t any bigger than a Twin-legged Flying Dragon. asionally, it would circle proudly around the tower’s peak or spread its wing and soar up high. It soared up into the sky and flew among the mist and the clouds.
