Alex started the next day by continuing to pull his sled wagon along the road.

As always, it was very exhausting and boring.

About two hours later, Alex saw the first merchants pass him again on their fancy carriages. The merchants introduced themselves, and the guards following the carriages also shot a short greeting to Alex.

Luckily, no major event took place for the next couple of hours, and Alex safely arrived in the Southern Wild.

As Alex saw the gates of the town, he rubbed the sweat off his forehead.

However, Alex quickly stopped as he noticed his own action.

'Sweat?' Alex thought as he looked at his left sleeve. 'It's been a while since I actually sweated from exertion. The surroundings are always cold enough that I didn't need to sweat.'

Alex pulled his right hand out of his cloak and felt the surroundings.

'It's getting warmer,' Alex thought. 'Even more, it almost feels too hot under my coat.'

'Seems like I'm close to leaving the Ice Wyvern Zone.'

Alex continued pulling the sled wagon towards the Southern Wild. The town didn't really look special. It was like a town after it had gotten warmer after a heavy snowfall.

In short, it looked muddy and dirty.

When Alex came to the northern gate, the guards stopped him and looked through his stack of Ice Wood for anything illegal. Their investigation was pretty thorough, taking nearly five minutes.

"Why do you want to enter the Southern Wild?" the guard captain asked with practiced ease.
