Chapter 417: Chapter 215: Sharing a Mount
Lin Mo gently placed Feney in the carriage and said his goodbyes. There wasn’t a tearful, lingering farewell—just a simple wave and a shared smile. Everything was understood without a word...
The carriage traveled down the road, but it would still be some time before they reached Lania City.
At the same time, the Guards from the neighboring city were also traveling with them.
Although they had suffered minor losses in the previous battle, their casualties were well within an acceptable range. So, naturally, they were to continue to the front lines to join the battle at Lania City.
In addition, some of the more Elite Guards from Roland Town would also accompany them.
Of course, Roland Town itself still needed to be defended and rebuilt, so not many were going.
Lin Mo was calculating how long it would take to reach Lania City when a sharp cry suddenly sounded beside him.
Flora, riding the Horned Eagle, landed beside the carriage and looked at Lin Mo.
"Want to go on ahead with me?"
She and Lin Mo were both Mages, the key figures who could have the greatest impact on the battle. It was naturally better for them to go on ahead.
Lin Mo first turned and exchanged a glance with Ali and Shefilya.
As for Feney... she was still asleep.
Ali gave Lin Mo a supportive pump of her fist, while Shefilya gave a slight nod.
"Of course."
Lin Mo answered immediately, got out of the carriage, and mounted the Horned Eagle.
Only then did he suddenly realize, ’Wait, are we sharing a mount?’
"Alright, let’s go."
Flora’s voice came from in front of him. The next moment, Lin Mo felt a lurch as his view of the ground receded. A few seconds later, the carriage carrying Ali and the others had shrunk to a tiny dot.
’So high, so fast!’
This was Lin Mo’s first time riding a flying Demon, and even his first time experiencing the sensation of flight.
Back when he was on Blue Star, he had never even been on an airplane.
Thus, the instinctive unease that a ground-dwelling creature feels at great heights made him tense up.
Flora noticed this, turning her head to tease him, "What, are you nervous?"
"A little..."
"Because of the height, or because you’re with me?"
Flora chuckled. This Miss Mage had always had a rather lively personality, so of course she would take the opportunity to joke around.
If this had been the Lin Mo from long ago, when he had just arrived in this world, he might have been too embarrassed to speak.
But now, tempered by his experiences, he was different.
"Both?"
This clever reply, however, left Flora feeling a little flustered, and she quickly hid her embarrassment with a light laugh.
"Hold on tight. We’re speeding up."
She took the reins, urging the Horned Eagle beneath her to fly forward at a faster speed.
The whistling wind rushed past his ears. The sudden acceleration threw Lin Mo back from the inertia, and he hurriedly grabbed onto something to keep from falling off.
"Ngh~"
A barely audible, soft cry escaped Flora’s half-open mouth. She quickly covered it, pretending as if nothing had happened. "I understand you’re trying to keep your balance, but don’t you think your hand is a little too good at picking its spot?"
Lin Mo gave a dry laugh and quickly moved his hand down a bit.
This reminded him of when the Maid had carried him on her back, away from the battlefield.
That time, he had also accidentally grabbed... no, ’grabbed’ wasn’t the right word. Considering her *caliber*, ’grab’ was an overstatement.
’Covered’ would be a more accurate term.
Someone on Ali’s level, now *that* was a handful.
As for Miss Flora...
Her caliber had already transcended the category of ’handful,’ reaching a higher realm entirely.
