Back on the bus, Tao Jing looked at Mofan with a confused look. She could not help but ask, "What were you doing just now?"
"Practicing my skills, it's just a little harder than I thought," Mofan replied.
"You look very hardworking too. Why doesn't your cultivation seem very high?" Tao Jing asked.
"Maybe I just look hardworking. Most of the time, I just find a place with fresh air and pretty girls nearby to sleep," Mofan said with a laugh.
"…" Tao Jing was lost for words. After all, he was praising her when he said she was lazy.
"See, Tao Jing, I already told you to be careful of those who show up out of nowhere and try to get close to you. They might be up to something. You shouldn't invite someone like that over again, "Zhou Donghao warned her.
Tao Jing was too lazy to respond to Zhou Donghao.
Mofan glanced at Zhou Donghao and shook his head speechlessly.
A man with a low IQ and EQ like him was trying to pick up girls. The girls were nothing to him, yet he was trying to control them like a male chauvinist. There was no way Tao Jing would fall in love with a retard like him!
He had to be as gentle and cultured as Mo Fan. Otherwise, why would Tao Jing take the initiative to invite him instead of someone else?
…
The city had been famous for a long time. It was the most influential city outside of Lhasa. Many Earth Mages would gather here …
At this moment, Mo Fan had turned into an Earth Elemental primary school student. He earnestly listened to the arrangements of the seniors of the Earth Elemental Association. He very politely and humbly stepped into the city that was completely made of gray-white rocks.
The city was not a residential city. It was a city of war, so there were not many traditional means of transportation in the city. Even the buildings were built with wood and stone. There was no tempered glass, windows, elevators, or air conditioners in the city.
Only Mages were allowed to enter the city. Ordinary people, including merchants, were not allowed to enter. It was not because of their identities, but because the city could be invaded by demon creatures at any time. Ordinary people had no chance of protecting themselves.
When the bus slowly drove into the city, Mofan discovered that the city was a lot grander than he had imagined. It had completely overturned the concept of most cities. It was built on a mountain instead of flat land!
The mountain was the cornerstone of the city. The gray-white buildings were like terraced fields, standing at different heights on the mountain. Even the streets, sentry posts, and roads were built like plank roads …
This side of the city could be said to have a panoramic view. From afar, it looked like countless buildings were placed in a huge rock mountain. The coexistence of disorder and order could be said to be a spectacle!
"It sure lives up to its name!" Mofan exclaimed when he saw the city.
The city was an important city in the country. Many cities across the country needed the raw materials of stone and Earth Element from the city. As the sea level rose, the construction of the Headquarters Cities and the demand for long levees against the sea had increased. The city had turned into a super factory that supplied all the raw materials along the coastline. Trucks of raw materials were transported to the cities along the roads. Some people described the city as the heart of the country. Mofan could not help but agree when he saw the city's true appearance.
The city was indeed like a giant heart, delivering the vital blood of the Earth Element to the country.
"Strange, why are there so many soldiers at the entrance?" Lin Qihui asked in confusion.
"There are so many people blocking the way. Do we have to line up to enter the city?"
Mofan got off the bus and noticed that vehicles were not allowed to enter the city. As a matter of fact, it was difficult for vehicles to travel on the narrow roads. However, the entrance to the city was crowded with people.
"Why aren't we allowed to enter the city? We've been living here for so long. Is this how the military treats Hunters like!?" a Mage in Hunter's attire yelled angrily.
"That's right, so what if we aren't Earth Mages? I've never heard of any city that forbids us from entering the city!"
The crowd was in an uproar. It was obvious that these people were trying to enter the city, but the military had set up a strange prohibition to stop them from entering the city.
"The passage for Earth Mages? This way, we can go this way! "
"There's no need to line up here!"
Zhou Donghao found another way into the city. He quickly asked the others to follow him.
The people on the bus were all Earth Mages. After a simple inspection, everyone was allowed to pass through the entrance. The Hunters who were stopped at the entrance began to yell when they saw this.
Unfortunately, they did not dare to do anything reckless, apart from yelling at the top of their lungs.
Mofan kept looking at the people who were stopped at the entrance. He was confused.
Why weren't Mages of other Elements allowed to enter the city? Weren't they worried that the Magic Association would be displeased by the rule? The Magic Association's status was comparable to the military's!
"Why is there another inspection?" Tao Jing asked in confusion.
Following the path forward, they soon saw a troop of Battlemages standing in formation. They were emitting a murderous aura, as if they would eliminate anyone who dared to move!
"Come over here one at a time. Please follow the rules of the city," a female Mage with a high rank said coldly.
"What are the rules of the city?" Lin Qihui asked in confusion. He remembered that the city was not as complicated as this before. It was a relatively free city without many rules. Most of the people here were Hunters and Adventurers. It was rare to see anyone from the military, but why did it feel like the military had taken over the city?
The female Battlemage did not answer Lin Qihui's question. She pointed at a huge notice on the wall and asked them to read it themselves.
Announcement:
The city has been upgraded to a First-level City of Rock City. Starting from the morning of the first day, the city will activate a First-level City Barrier. All magic except the Earth Element will seriously damage the Barrier's stability during the activation process. In order to ensure that the Barrier is activated successfully, the entire city is under a Magic Prohibition Order.
Magic Prohibition Order: Only Earth Mages are allowed to enter the city.
Magic Prohibition Order: Earth Mages' other Elements will be restricted.
"What kind of rule is this? Why haven't I heard of it before?" Lin Qihui yelled.
"You haven't heard of it before because you are ignorant. Every city's Barrier Formation must remove the interference of other Elements and magic during the activation process. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain!" the female Battlemage said impatiently.
"Senior, I think we learned about it in our primary school textbooks."
"Is that so?" Lin Qihui said.
"Yes, it's true. The city's Barrier needs to be set up for the first time. Most of the cities in our country have already been set up. It's just a rare occurrence," Tao Jing said.
"How unlucky! Why did the city just happen to be upgraded to an Elemental Capital when we came here?"
