Chapter 735: 130. âPrincess Gifted Moon OrÄąginal content can be found at ????????????????????â????????????????â????????????After three days of climbing, Fisher and Valentina were getting closer and closer to the location indicated in the Ice Scroll, and it must be said that the place where the Phoenix Species lived was not something ordinary people could easily reach; even Fisher, who was nearing the Eleventh Rank, found it somewhat strenuous to climb these kilometers deep, continuous mountain ranges.
However, thanks to the route to the mountain summit planned in advance by the Schwali Scholar Balzac, their journey had been relatively smooth. Along the way, he and Valentina passed through several primeval forests deep in the Snow Mountains, saw a few magical creatures unique to Sema Snow Mountain, and discovered quite a few ruins built by the demi-human race in the past.
After all, the Phoenix Species had been around for several thousand years, so after the passage of time, these ruins had either been completely covered by wind and snow or had turned into broken walls and remnants. The most common type of ruins were sections of upward stairs, broken into several pieces, which could be divided into two kinds; one was a set of giant stairs, each step two meters high, and the other was the normal-stair type for humans to use.
It was not hard to guess that during the era of the Phoenixâs existence, the demi-humans at the foot of the Snow Mountains climbed these uneven stairs for several days and nights to pay homage to the Phoenix. Unfortunately, these stairs were now completely abandoned and offered very little help to Fisher and Valentina.
âFisher⌠hah⌠hah⌠take a quick look beside you⌠those are clouds that you can touch with your hand.â
As Fisher and Valentinaâs altitude increased, the air above them became thinner and thinner. Fisher felt nothing unusual; after all, even breathing underwater, ten times more difficult than this, was an experience he had endured. On the other hand, Valentina on his back was panting hard, needing to gasp for a long while after speaking each sentence.
She reached out her hand to touch the clouds beside her, then slowly withdrew it. Although it was impossible to grasp a cloud in the palm of her hand, she still happily clung to Fisherâs neck. Afterward, she turned her head to take a look at the surroundings wrapped in mist and, after recalling roughly the area, she exclaimed in surprise,
âWait, arenât we about to get to the place mentioned on the scroll?â
Fisher nodded, his stride still steady,
âIf the route Balzac planned is correct, weâll soon be at the foot of the Wutong Tree.â
âThatâs fast. Iâve heard that even well-equipped mountaineering teams need at least half a month to climb Sema Snow Mountain, but you, without any equipment and carrying me, made it in three daysâŚâ
Valentina stretched out her hand, pinched Fisherâs pectoral muscles a bit out of surprise, then withdrew her little hand with a flushed face. If it werenât for Fisherâs distinct biological characteristics and the occasional look as if he wanted to devour her, Valentina would truly suspect he was a mechanically disguised person.
âNot at all, this brat is already about Eleventh Rank. He could run while dragging trains made by humans with one hand. Youâre such a small figure that you probably wouldnât even get stuck in his teeth.â
âEmhardtâŚâ
Valentina, her face reddening, glared at Emhardt, who had started making suggestive remarks again. The Book Knight simply yawned, showing no intention to engage with her. It was Fisher who had to speak up to make the stern-looking book quiet down and stop talking. In these few days, Valentina had come to understand many of the terms they used, such as âRank.â It was only now that she suddenly remembered and asked,
âBy the way, you all have been talking about âRanksâ these past few days. May I ask, how high are the Phoenixâs Ranks?â
Emhardtâs body shone with a surge of golden light before he addressed Valentina,
âWithout considering other abilities, they are roughly between Ninth to Twelfth Rank, somewhat similar to the Whale-men in the sea, and a bit higher than the Dragon-man Species of the South Continent. However, the Phoenix King and her three children might be of the Mythical Rank, otherwise, I really canât think of how they could have overcome the Chaos Species. Could it be due to the Holy Objects gifted to them by the Holy Descendants?â
Valentinaâs mouth fell open, and only then did she realize that Fisher was already as formidable as the legendary Phoenix. If she herself were a Phoenix, could she become stronger one day too?
After all, she didnât want to spend her life always being carried by Fisher like this; she wanted to become stronger, at least not as useless as she was now.
However, as if seeing through Valentinaâs thoughts, Emhardt smacked his lips and added,
âBut then, Ranks are an artificial consideration factor created by Ancient Humans to avoid danger; they are actually very inaccurate. The higher the Rank of a creature, the less contact they have with humans. Therefore, their assessments of these races are very vague, only able to differentiate roughly by levels⌠And besides, I donât know whether your Mixed Blood kind can achieve the same Rank as the Phoenix Species. If Mixed Bloods could match the Phoenixâs Rank, by logic, the Turand Family shouldnât have been able to capture the Moon Princessâs descendantsâŚâ
âWeâre here.â
As Emhardt pondered, Fisherâs steps suddenly halted, causing him to sway and float into mid-air. Shaking his head, he looked ahead and saw that they had crossed through the clouds they encountered on their way to reach the highest point of a mountain peak. Floating in front of the peak was a gentle drift of clouds, morphing the vaguely visible distant mountain ranges into indistinct shadows.
