The remaining metals were placed on Blood Feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna was dressed similarly, so from the appearance, they looked like two Wizard lovers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look, Rein, what magnificent mountains!” Anna exclaimed, pointing with her fair finger at the gray-black peaks that stood like blades ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein followed the direction of Anna’s point and involuntarily uttered a soft “huh”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect to see such uniquely shaped mountains in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A barren gray-black mountain, with sparse vegetation, enveloped by large patches of black fog. The mountain tops were a hazy grey, stretching into the distance along the mountain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Blood Feathered Horned Eagle approached, Rein’s keen senses could faintly detect the danger lurking within the massive black air masses, which flickered and pulsated with mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this the Black Mist Cyclone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is said that there are many Black Mist Monsters inside, a peculiar elemental creature that can’t be completely eradicated and regenerates continuously. Fortunately, their activity range is limited to the peaks of the Hammerfall Mountains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder Olena suggested crossing through the Hammerfall Tunnel.” Rein mused as he observed the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anna, the Hammerfall Fortress should be down there, let’s find it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.” Anna nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna had already learned the general itinerary from Rein during their campfire earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could also sense the unknown risks hidden in the various sizes of black mist in front of them, naturally having no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It should be over there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein controlled Blood Feather to descend toward the lower left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the sky, he could clearly see the winding road behind him leading to somewhere in the lower left, likely the road to Hammerfall Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Why are there so many people?” Still circling in mid-air, Rein noticed many people seemingly blocked at the entrance to the grand Hammerfall Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, they seemed to be traveling merchants and wayfarers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave Rein a vague feeling of unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could something have happened to Hammerfall Fortress?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Feathered Horned Owl Beast’s descent naturally drew the attention of almost everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, anyone who can ride a flying mount is obviously not an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Rein had just landed, intending to find someone to inquire, suddenly, a chubby middle-aged man with a protruding belly, dressed in a silk robe, hurried over, bowed respectfully, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, my lord, I am Yannis, the head of the Cameron caravan. May I ask if you two are also planning to pass through the Hammerfall Tunnel to Moselle Province?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein glanced at the man, determining he was just an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man had just come over from there, apparently the head of a caravan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein had looked at the map and knew that crossing the Hammerfall Tunnel would lead to Moselle Province’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, it was clear to anyone observing that he and Anna intended to cross the tunnel, so there was nothing to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right. May I ask what has happened here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve come at an unfortunate time. The tunnel was closed urgently two days ago due to an outbreak of Molten Lava Snakes. It won’t reopen until the Empire sends a specialized team to clear it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Hammerfall Tunnel is closed?” Rein frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was quite troublesome, as crossing the Hammerfall Mountains through the tunnel would only take two to three hours to reach the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they had to detour, even riding a flying mount would take Rein nearly two extra days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, are the Molten Lava Snakes very formidable?” Rein couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… Molten Lava Snakes are lava-type creatures with strength comparable to fierce species. An Official Knight could generally handle one on a one-to-one basis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the problem is, Molten Lava Snakes always appear in large numbers. It’s estimated that there are at least hundreds occupying the tunnel.” Yannis explained frankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? In that case, it should be very difficult to pass. Why are so many people gathered here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it going to open soon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, the Empire’s clearance team doesn’t know how long it will take to arrive. Unlike you, my lord, without flying mounts, detouring would cost our caravan nearly half a month more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So we’re planning to organize a team to cross through on our own. Would you be interested in joining? On behalf of the Cameron family caravan, we would be willing to pay you both a reward.”\u003C\u002Fp>",879,"2026-06-05T17:04:20.079Z",1,"novelbin.me","88169b13c9ac199683573f5841a199e6b93ef9eadda10ede786d58466ad98116","wizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-chapter-964","wizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-chapter-962",1660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-cover.jpg"]
