Chapter 36 Setting Off for the Elf King's City

"What's wrong? Are you upset?" Zhao Gang noticed that Lin Mo's mood was off and asked.

Lin Mo didn't know how to answer.

Zhao Gang patted him on the shoulder.

"It's normal to have grievances. You can't expect someone to suffer in silence, and you can't even let them grumble a few times, can you?"

"Of course, many unreasonable things may have happened in the process, but governing a country is actually very complicated."

"When there is power, there will always be parasites. It's human nature. You can't catch them all. You can only catch them when you find them. It's a never-ending cycle."

Lin Mo pouted.

"Let's catch them all and call it a day!"

Zhao Gang chuckled and lightly tapped Lin Mo with his finger.

"You, you, you acted impulsively, didn't you?"

"In other words, can you guarantee you'll be incorruptible? Two or three years might be enough, but what about four or five? Can you still guarantee that?"

"Besides, if we arrest them all, who will carry out orders? Expect fresh graduates and greenhorns?"

"We can't focus on one thing and neglect the other; otherwise, we'll lose more than we gain."

"Often, as long as the merits outweigh the demerits, we turn a blind eye."

Lin Mo remained silent.

Indeed, if I were in some position, I certainly wouldn't be a good person either.

At that moment, his previous grievances against the country suddenly lessened, and he gained a deeper understanding of many things.

No one is perfect; human nature is both the most complex and the simplest thing.

As long as the general direction is correct, it's always a good thing.

Zhao Gang seemed to realize that the topic was getting out of hand, so he began to change the subject.

He believed that after this conversation, Lin Mo would grow a lot, which was exactly what he wanted.

He pointed to the massive steel city under construction, emitting a tremendous roar.

"This is just a spark project, a Noah's Ark for the continuation of civilization."

"But the ark must eventually reach the shore."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo snapped out of his sullen state, exhaled a long breath, and looked at everything before him.

The experience of working on the periphery and listening to data in a conference room is completely different from seeing this underground wonder that was built in a frenzy for survival.

Adding to what he had just heard, the word "responsibility" became the weight on his heart, pressing down on every spark of welding and every inch of extending steel bar.

"I understand," Lin Mo said.

"We must obtain the World Tree seed!"

Zhao Gang turned to look at Lin Mo, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. You're the only one we have. Take it easy and do your best."

......

Inside the bedroom.

Lin Mo lay back down on the bed, and as he closed his eyes, the image of Fendona's innocent yet curious face appeared in his mind.

"Queen Elf, Avinor, I, Lin Mo, have arrived!"

With this thought in mind, Lin Mo's consciousness gradually relaxed, and he fell asleep without realizing it.

Terra, Lostia City.

Lin Mo suddenly opened his eyes and got up from the wooden bed.

"Comfortable!"

He stretched and felt full of boundless energy.

He casually picked up a few pieces of fruit from the table, munching on them as he opened the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw the dazzling Fendona among the elves not far away.

Whether it's her temperament, her looks, or her aristocratic attire, Fendona stands out from the crowd.

At this moment, she and several elven warriors were inspecting the newly arrived composite bow.

"Your Highness!" Lin Mo shouted and ran over quickly.

Hearing the sound, Fendona turned around and saw Lin Mo looking energetic. A hint of surprise flashed in her emerald eyes.

"Lord Lin Mo, you're awake?"

"Are you getting used to it after eating the fruit of life?"

"Of course!" Lin Mo grinned.

"I feel like you look even more beautiful to me now!"

Fendona covered her mouth and chuckled:

"Hehe, Lord Lin Mo is truly witty."

Lin Mo laughed heartily.

"Princess Fendona, your Queen has invited me to Avinor, is that right?"

"When do we depart?"

Fendona was slightly taken aback; she was somewhat surprised that Lin Mo would take such a initiative.

"Are you... going now?"

"Of course!" Lin Mo patted his chest.

"While waiting is a virtue, being waited for is a vice."

"How could I keep Her Majesty the Queen waiting so long after such a warm invitation?"

Fendona thought for a moment and said:

"The demons won't attack so quickly these next few days. I was originally planning to go to the royal city tomorrow."

"Since Lord Lin Mo is so eager, please wait a moment. After I explain a few things, we can set off together."

"You're going too? That's great!" Lin Mo was overjoyed. Having someone he knew accompany him was naturally the best thing ever.

Fendona was very efficient; everything was ready in less than half an hour.

The group arrived at the platform in Lostia City specifically used for taking off and landing griffins.

Dozens of magnificent griffins lay quietly on the ground, their bodies like lions and their heads and talons like birds of prey, their feathers gleaming metallic in the sunlight.

The elven knights are saddled the griffins with practiced and graceful movements.

Fendona thought for a moment and said:

"Lord Lin Mo, would you like to ride one of my horses?"

Lin Mo was taken aback. He realized that he couldn't ride a griffin either, so he was lucky to be able to ride one with someone else.

So he immediately agreed.

Fendona walked to the griffin lying down, flipped herself up, and patted the spot behind her, saying:

"Lord Lin Mo, please come up."

"Don't worry, she's very docile."

Lin Mo stepped forward and gave the griffin a brief look.

This animal looks like a combination of a lion and an eagle, possessing the front half of an eagle and the back half of a lion.

Its front half features a sharp, hooked beak, golden eagle eyes, and exceptionally sharp forepaws covered in feathers.

The hind half of its body is covered with short, mane-like hair and has the strong, powerful muscles of a lion's hind legs.

Moreover, its body is quite large, like an elephant, so it can comfortably seat two people.

Lin Mo flipped over, but lost his balance and could only instinctively hold onto Fendona's waist.

A barely perceptible blush appeared on Fendona's fair cheeks.

"Has Lord Lin Mo taken his seat?"

"Alright." Lin Mo said, smelling the faint, natural fragrance emanating from the girl in front of him, which smelled exceptionally pleasant.

This was the second time he had smelled it at such close range.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Fendona adjusted her posture and gave a sweet shout.

"Set off!"

The griffin let out a high-pitched, loud cry, and its powerful wings flapped sharply.

The next second, it soared into the sky!

A strong feeling of gravitational overload suddenly struck.

The fierce wind violently filled Lin Mo's ears and mouth.

Wow!

Lin Mo was startled and instinctively wrapped his arms around Fendona's waist.

Fendona's body visibly stiffened for a moment, and she asked with concern:

"Lord Lin Mo, are you...are you alright?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm fine. It's just that it's my first time experiencing this, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it."

After Lin Mo finished speaking, he carefully surveyed the receding scenery around him.

The wind whistles in your ears, and a vast forest stretches out below, with a river meandering through it.

What a beautiful picture of a paradise on earth.
