Kyle ran through the fiery wilderness towards the east.
This time, he was alone.
'I hope Selene wants to join. I don't want to run this far just to get a refusal,' Kyle thought.
Naturally, he was on his way to Forthing's Hold, the place where Selene Forthing lived.
She told him over a year ago that he was free to visit her if he was in the area.
'Would be great to have a Beast Tamer in my team.'
At that moment, he remembered Lily.
'A Beast Tamer and a Golemancer. Hope there are no conflicts.'
'Actually, who am I kidding? Even if Lily were a Knight, there would still be conflicts between her and Selene. Fucking Lily has conflicts with everybody.'
'Yeah, well. Still gotta try.'
After a while, Kyle reached another Skysand Stream. As always, there was a tunnel passing below it.
As soon as Kyle came out of the other end of the tunnel, he reached a place he hadn't been to yet.
'Quite a contrast to the fiery landscape from earlier,' he thought.
Right now, Kyle saw a watery forest.
Small streams of pure water flowed through the healthy and tall forest.
He also saw a bunch of small lakes, and there were even some marshes.
The air was thick with Water Ether.
'Bunch of water. You know what that means…'
Just when Kyle thought that, a mosquito landed on his cheek.
BANG!
Kyle obliterated the mosquito.
'That means fucking insects!'
'Don't want to stay here for too long.'
Kyle immediately continued his journey to the east, walking through swarms of insects.
From time to time, he saw huge frogs and fishes jumping out of the water, killing some bigger insects.
'Gotta be careful. This is the territory of the Shoreshells.'
The Shoreshells were one of the five Four-Weapons Guilds.
Usually, Four-Weapons Guilds didn't care a lot about Three-Weapons Guilds, but the Shoreshells were special.
They had the smallest territory out of all the Four-Weapons Guilds.
This meant they might be the weakest Four-Weapons Guild.
This, in turn, meant that Three-Weapons Guilds could be a threat to them, and people generally didn't like being in the same place as something they perceived to be a threat.
When Kyle went to Janus' Hold, he had also entered the territory of a Four-Weapons Guild, the Naga Covenant.
However, he hadn't been worried about them back then.
The Naga Covenant was strong and stable. Their territory was huge, and they were one of the three strongest Four-Weapons Guilds.
They wouldn't care about a random Three-Weapons Guild.
'Hope the Shoreshells won't cause trouble for me.'
Kyle ran through a couple of fishing villages before he reached a huge city near a gigantic river.
The river was tens of kilometers wide, and it was the biggest river in the Skysand Kingdom.
It was called the Ocean's Life. It originated from the southern side of the Skysand Kingdom and flowed into the Grand Ocean.
The amount of water this river transported was crazy.
