For this journey, Ang had prepared thoroughly long ago. Drawing on his experience from his first Winter Tour, he designed and built a hovercar. Combining his knowledge of runes with inspiration from his memories of Blue Star, this hovercar was a practical tool crafted specifically for the trip. In appearance, it somewhat resembled the little electric cars commonly used by elderly people on Blue Star, but its performance and magical technology were leaps and bounds ahead.
The hovercar's drive system relied entirely on magic crystals for energy. Its underside was engraved with levitation runes and propulsion runes designed by Ang himself, ensuring that it could hover steadily half a meter above the ground. Although its consumption of magic crystals was not low, it remained within Ang's means. In addition, to adapt to all kinds of terrain, he had specially enhanced the hovercar's stability and shock resistance. Whether on level roads or rugged mountain paths, it could provide a comfortable ride.
The cabin was simple yet practical, containing a small storage compartment for equipment and materials needed on the journey, as well as a rune-heated insulated box for storing food and water. Ang had also installed a defensive rune array on the hovercar in case of unexpected attacks during the trip. Though the vehicle looked plain, it was fully equipped, truly reflecting Ang's dual pursuit of practicality and safety.
Ang did not linger over leaving Akreli. After all, he knew his future could not be confined to this city. There was no one in particular he needed to bid farewell to, and all important matters had long been arranged. He drove his hovercar and set out directly. Since the use of any form of aircraft or hovering equipment was forbidden within Akreli, Ang had no choice but to hire a carriage
