Meg woke up early to make breakfast and prepare a lunch for Amy. If everything went well, he should be back before sunset. Only then did he wake Amy up.
Due to the fact that customers were lining up earlier and earlier in the morning, Meg wrote a notice and hung it on the door after breakfast. Then, he rode his bicycle to send Amy to Chaos School.
"I'm taking a day off to gather ingredients. Tomorrow, I'll be serving the new dish — stinky tofu."
The customers who arrived at Amy's early in the morning looked at the notice hanging on the door with complicated expressions.
"Although I'm used to Mr. Mak going out to gather ingredients, and I'm looking forward to the new dish, why do I still feel a little uncomfortable?"
"I'm in favor of gathering ingredients, but … what is this stinky tofu? Is it really stinky tofu? "
"Could it be a new flavor of tofu pudding?" someone asked.
Everyone's expressions changed. Could it be that Mr. Mak had really come up with such a perverted flavor?
This morning, the regulars of Amy's started their day with complicated feelings about the new dish.
He sent Amy to Chaos School to hand her over to Crassus, and told him that Amy's was closed for the day, and that he was going out to gather ingredients. If he didn't come to pick up Amy after school, she was to be sent to the ice cream shop first.
"Mr. Mak, this is what a parent should do." Crassus looked at Meg and nodded with satisfaction. This was the first time that Meg went out to gather ingredients without Amy.
After leaving Chaos School, Meg rode his bicycle out of the city through the south gate. He rode along the main road for about 10 minutes, turned onto a side path, and went straight to the towering mountain in the southwest direction.
Half an hour later, Meg arrived at the foot of the mountain after putting away his bicycle. He looked around to make sure there was no one around before he began to climb the mountain.
This mountain was located 20 kilometers southwest of Chaos City, and was known as Rao Mountain. The mountain was overgrown with weeds, thick trees, and exposed sand and rocks. The mountain was quite steep, and there were very few magic beasts or wild beasts in the surrounding forest, so people rarely went there.
Meg leaped several meters with each step, leaping between the rocks as he rushed towards the peak of the mountain.
As a 5th-tier knight, Meg's physical attributes provided him with powerful jumping ability and speed. Even though his return to his peak state in Rodu didn't result in any improvement in his power level, after truly grasping the peak of his powers, Meg's control over his own power and understanding of his own body had reached a whole new level.
This was a very strange feeling. His body and soul were in sync, and he could perfectly use every bit of strength in his body to erupt with the greatest power.
Near the top of the mountain, in a deep cave, a pair of purple eyes slowly opened and looked in the direction of the cave entrance.
A figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, and a beam of light shone into the cave, illuminating the gargantuan creature within.
Meg shone the flashlight in his hand on the stone wall, and looked at the purple-striped griffin that was running toward him with its tongue out with excitement on its face. "Ah Zi, we need to go somewhere."
"Howl ~"
Ah Zi stuck its head out and rubbed itself against Meg's body before raising its head and howling with excitement, as if it were a husky that hadn't seen its owner in a long time.
"Shh!"
Meg hurriedly stopped it. He looked at this massive creature with the blood of a husky flowing in its veins, and a resigned expression appeared on his face. It was so dumb that it shouldn't be called Ah Zi; it should be called Ah Ha instead.
This massive creature was none other than Alex's purple-striped griffin. Meg had told it to go back to Chaos City and wait for him.
Even though it was a little dumb, as a 10th-tier magic beast, it was still quite intelligent, and hadn't caused any trouble during this period of time.
Meg pulled out the Tian Du sword from the depths of the cave, and changed into a black robe and a mask. He jumped onto the griffin's back, and said, "Ah Zi, go to The Wind Forest. Fly high, and try not to be discovered."
Ah Zi responded with a howl. She folded her wings, walked to the entrance of the cave, and jumped out. Suddenly, she spread her wings and flapped them hard. The strong wind blew the rocks off the mountain with a sonic boom. In the blink of an eye, the gryphon, which was shining with a purple-gold luster under the sunlight, became a black dot in the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
Meg grabbed a protruding scale on his back with one hand, and looked at the clouds receding around him with excitement on his face.
This was a completely different feeling from riding on a plane. After all, no pilot would dare to take you for a spin on a plane.
The feathers on the griffin's neck were just enough to deflect the wind away from Meg's body and head. Otherwise, just the wind alone would've been enough to deform Meg's face.
Last time, Meg hadn't had a chance to properly experience riding the most renowned battle steed on the Norland Continent due to the urgency of the situation in Rodu. Now, he was naturally going to enjoy it to the fullest.
Of course, the most important thing was to familiarize himself with the griffin. His most powerful life-saving trump card now wasn't the system. Instead, it was this purple-striped griffin that could tear a 10th-tier powerful being to shreds with its bare hands.
The griffin flew up and down in the clouds. After leaving Chaos City, it began to practice swooping, flying close to the stone forest, and rotating through narrow canyons. All types of dazzling flying techniques were developed by Meg one after another, making the boring journey extremely interesting.
Chaos City was quite far away from The Wind Forest, and Warden Lake was situated in the northern part of the forest. However, the purple-striped griffin was extremely fast, and it only took less than an hour for a stretch of forest to appear in Meg's field of vision.
This was a forest that was as lush as a tropical rainforest. Lush greenery stretched as far as the eyes could see, and trees that were hundreds of meters tall could be seen everywhere. Birds and beasts lived leisurely lives in the forest, making it appear as if this was a paradise that was completely cut off from the rest of the world.
Further north, there was a teardrop-shaped lake that looked like a blue pearl, reflecting a bright luster under the sunlight.
Meg's mouth gaped open slightly at the sight of this spectacular scene from atop the griffin's back. Alex had very little information about the elven race, and nothing about The Wind Forest, so this was the first time that he had seen The Wind Forest.
He had once attempted to travel through the Amazon Rainforest, and even though he had failed due to his physical condition, The Wind Forest was larger than the Amazon Rainforest, and the temperature and humidity were also more suitable for habitation.
Meg looked at the forest up ahead, and said without any hesitation, "Fly higher, then we'll circle around it and go straight to Warden Lake."
The purple-striped griffin flapped its wings and rose up into the air again before circling around The Wind Forest and flying toward Warden Lake from the side.
