Chapter 1640 Around the Silver Kingdom
The Silver Kingdom had many fantastic locations both on the mainland and the islands for Alex to visit.
They began touring the land from the very north of the Silver Kingdom, in a city known as Frostspire. Giant pillars of ice grew from the ground of this ever-snowing city, with most people finding residence within the alcoves formed from most of these spires.
The city was away from the ocean to its west and was just a few hour's flight away from the frozen mountains of the Silver Mountain range at this time of the year.
The ice spires were large and contained a mineral that could only be found in small clumps in this area of the continent which absorbed light and let it out slowly when the sun was down.
It was similar to the Sunstone that Scarlet lay on all day inside her golden dome, but this wasn't sunstone from what Alex could tell.
Whatever it was, it glowed with the beauty of a million stars, with specs of light glittering inside the somewhat misty ice spires, giving an incredible view for anyone living in the city.
As the city itself was built inside and around the spire, they lacked the need to glow lanterns around the city at night both outside and inside. Only deep inside a house where the sparkling light couldn't reach did people use a lantern.
Alex was fascinated by the city and enjoyed his time at the place along with his elders, the few guards who came with him, and Mao Yingtai who wanted to come here with him.
They spent no more than a week in the city, but that was enough time for Alex to experience the beauty of the city. If he remained there any longer, the mysticism of the city would dwindle, so he found little hesitation within himself to leave this city.
They moved on to the next city, Moonshadow Glde.
The city, if it could even be called that, was built inside of a large forest mostly comprising Silverthorn trees. The houses were set up inside open spaces in the forest and the pathways were also natural pathways through the forest.
The city was a small city compared to even most of the cities Alex had seen,, but it had a mayor, and it was one of the richer cities of the Silver kingdom.
He didn't know how much of a cleansing it did to a body as he had already gone through Mortal cleansing and there wasn't much impurity in his body that his Qi didn't destroy each time he cultivated.
His body was particularly good at destroying things that it considered not good for the body.
Still, he felt fresh as a man who peacefully slept through the night every time he walked out of those hot springs.
After that, they went to Quicksilver Heights, a city on a plateau in the Silver Mountain range.?The plateau the city was built on was perfectly flat as if someone had taken a knife to the mountain and cut off the top half of it.
The city had a few martial houses where battles took place all throughout the year, and many people came to watch or participate in those battles.
Alex stayed there just long enough to see the sights he thought he had to and left.
He visited many more cities after that. Whitejade City, Silverglint City, Freshpearl City, and Pureshore City were some of the best cities he saw throughout the Silver Kingdom, but that wasn't to say that there weren't many other cities with their own beauties to see.
Aside from the cities, he also met many great sects and families, people who were more than excited to host both Alex and Mao Yingtai on their vacation.
Some of the people Alex had met before, some he met for the first time. All of them made sure to only show the best to them.
It took Alex 9 months to get through all the cities in the Silver Kingdom before it was time to leave the place.
"Have you made plans on where to go next?" Mao Yingtai asked him the day they were to leave.
Alex nodded. "I will return to the Capital for a while and then go to the Ebony Kingdom," he said. "I don't have many years to remain here, so I will have to make do with what I have."
The Queen nodded and Alex left the place with his 2 elders at his side. Going through a teleportation formation in the city, he arrived back in the Dragon Capital instantly.
When he did, the sky rumbled with lightning bolts as a pill cloud covered the sky above the palace.n--o.)v).E-/l.(b-(1.)n
