Chapter 767 Arrival at the Pan-Continental Mage Association

Jonas City

Li Si smiled as he watched Lisa curiously flipping through various magic books, and didn't disturb her.

For Lisa, who had already achieved legendary status, these magic books were no longer of any use to her.

The most valuable thing in these magic books is that they record some gold-tier spell knowledge, which is of little value to Li Si and Lisa, who own the Grand Library of Kane's Floating City.

However, Li Si did not refuse Lisa.

Lisa, a legendary "hikikomori" (social recluse), has almost never left her place of residence.

After being brought back by Li Si's father, he lived in the library of the Kane family mansion.

Even after arriving in Kane's Floating City and breaking through to Legendary status, he did not leave Kane's Floating City.

Although Lisa had gotten used to this kind of life, Li Si felt it wouldn't work.

Just then, Li Si was invited by the Third Speaker to the Pan-Continental Mage Association, so he brought Lisa along.

As for Kane Floating City, with Uncle Joyce around and Li Si's clone controlling the entire city, there shouldn't be any problems.
Even if attacked, Li Si is already in the Gaia world and can quickly return to the floating city using spatial magic.

Fortunately, the conflict between the churches of the gods and the followers of evil gods cannot escalate.

Li Si decided to keep a low profile for a while and see how things develop.

Since their destination was the Pancontinental Mage Association, this was a rare opportunity for Lisa.

Li Si and Lisa then went directly to Jonas City, the capital of the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

This is the most important core city of the association, besides the two floating cities.

Unlike normal extraordinary forces, the Pan-Continental Mage Association, despite its immense strength, does not possess much territory.

Aside from occupying some important magical resource-producing areas, it is just normal territory, and it is indirectly ruled through many human kingdoms.

However, due to the existence of the Pan-Continental Mage Association, its subordinate territories are quite safe and are almost never attacked or invaded.

For a powerful supernatural force like the Pan-Continental Mage Association, ordinary territory has lost its meaning.

This has disappointed many who actively wanted to join the protected human kingdoms.

Of course, the influence of the Pan-Continental Mage Association is not limited to the territory it occupies.

The continent of Anora, where they reside, is within the association's sphere of influence.

Moreover, the term "Pancontinent" does not refer to just one continent. Any mage professional can join the Pancontinental Mage Association across the six major continents of the Gaia world.

For this reason, the Pan-Continental Mage Association has become the most coveted holy land in the hearts of mage professionals.

Rarely seen mage professionals are now a common sight in Jonas City.

Li Si saw several of these Gold-Rank mages, who were honored guests of kings in most kingdoms, after entering Jonas City.

The sheer number of mage professionals gathered here demonstrates the influence of the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

Li Si arrived at the Pan-Continental Mage Association without any rush.

The appointment with the Third Speaker is the day after tomorrow, so I'll take Lisa for a stroll around the city.

During the time when Li Si was away from Kane's Floating City, Lisa kept the city running without any problems.

This outing was just to help Lisa relax.

And Lisa seemed to be enjoying it too.

Although she's a bit of a homebody and somewhat withdrawn, Li Si would still have no problem being with her.

Lisa also really enjoys this time spent together.

The owner of the magic bookstore glanced at Li Si and Lisa for a moment, then went back to his own business.

Although Li Si and Lisa were exceptionally beautiful, the shopkeeper only glanced at them a few more times.

He didn't sense any magical aura from Li Si and Lisa.

Judging from their appearance, they must be descendants of those nobles, right?
They might be respected by everyone in their own territory, but this is Jonas City of the Pancontinental Mage Association.

Even the kings of those human kingdoms have to set aside their so-called noble status when they come here.

Here, only knowledge earns the respect of others.

Moreover, this young nobleman had no attendants by his side.

These two are clearly young men who have not yet inherited their titles.

I doubt they have many cute gold coins on them.
The magic books here are all very expensive!
These two young people were just curious.

The shop owner shook his head, leisurely reclining in the chair behind the counter, flipping through the azure magic book in his hand.

Li Si had no idea that the shop owner next to him was having such a rich inner world.

But even if I knew, I would just laugh it off.

Given his current status, he wouldn't stoop to doing something like showing off by buying an entire bookstore to impress others.

Li Si looked at the enthusiastic Lisa and said with a smile:

"How is it, Lisa?"

"Is there anything you like?"

Lisa hesitated for a moment, looking at the magic book in her hand.

In fact, she understood the magical element models and runes recorded in these magic books at a glance; they weren't very difficult to understand.

However, since she and Li Si were already here, she also wanted to buy some souvenirs.

"Just this one!"

Lisa put the other spellbooks back, keeping only the one in her hand that contained introductory spells for mental protection.

"Why not buy more?"

Li Si smiled and ruffled Risa's hair.

These magic books were nothing to either of them, and seeing that Lisa seemed to like them quite a bit, Li Si made the suggestion.

"No need, this is enough."

Lisa shook her head and said softly.

Only one copy of this souvenir is truly valuable.

Too much of that would be boring.

"it is good."

Li Si took the pale white-covered magic book from Lisa and went to pay the shopkeeper.

Thank you for your patronage.

The shop owner, who had been so relaxed just moments before, was momentarily stunned, but only realized what had happened after accepting the money.

Strange
The magic books he sells are all alive.

This activity is usually closely related to the magic recorded in magic books.

It can also help readers better learn and understand the spells within.

This is also what makes these magic books in the store so precious.

However, if those who lack the necessary skills engage in excessive contact with it, they are very likely to lose their minds or even suffer a mental breakdown.

However, the shopkeeper had just tried to help Li Si, who was not yet a superhuman in his eyes, seal the activity in the magic book and reduce the danger of the activity.

He discovered that the magic book that Li Si had just held was now extremely sluggish and unresponsive.

Just like a completely tamed cat, without any resistance or fluctuation?
has a problem!
These spellbooks were all handmade by the shop owner, so how could he not know their special nature? This situation could only mean either the book had been sealed away, or it had just been mentally crushed by a powerful being.

The shop owner felt that his memory wasn't that bad, and he could still remember whether or not the seal had been placed beforehand.

So, the strength of that boy just now far exceeded his expectations?
The shop owner breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat back down in his chair.

After calming himself down, he went out and closed the shop door.

Fortunately, he didn't have any bad taste and always treated people with honesty.

Otherwise, if we offend that esteemed figure, even if he is a seventh-ring mage of the association, he will suffer.

However, the association has a new ruler?

The shop owner thought about it with lingering fear.

Only a handful of His Majesty members from the entire association go out shopping, and the shop owners generally know them all.

The sudden appearance of a new face certainly surprised the shop owner.

However, it seems that His Majesty has a pretty good temper.

The shop owner touched his almost bald head and sighed to himself.

After leaving the magic bookstore, Li Si and Lisa began to wander aimlessly around Jonas City again.

Li Si was still somewhat curious about this city that was built on the ruins of a once-fallen floating city.

Furthermore, through some details, Li Si was able to roughly deduce the magical technology currently controlled by the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

For example, the current city of Jonas is more than ten times the size of a normal floating city.

However, Li Si could sense that the magic concentration in Jonas City was no lower than that in Kane's floating city.

This is interesting
As expected, after inheriting the legacy of the Netheril Magic Empire, the Pancontinental Mage Association did not rest on its laurels, but continued to develop on that foundation.

Li Si was very curious, wondering how far the Pan-Continental Mage Association's magical technology had developed.

Has it reached the point where it can build a floating city from scratch all by itself?

This is more interesting!

Otherwise, why would he make a special trip to the association?
Li Si surveyed the surrounding magic towers and nodded secretly.

Lisa, on the other hand, didn't think as much as Li Si did.

She held the rainbow-shaped magic candy that Li Si had just bought in one hand and the magic roasted meat that the stall owner had given her in the other.

Although the dishes made through magical means might not necessarily suit her taste, they were a unique experience.

As the core city of the Pan-Continental Mage Association, Jonas City has no city walls, and anyone can come here and enter the city.

This also demonstrates the confidence of the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

Of course, it is also quite safe here. Even legendary powerhouses must abide by the rules here, or they will be attacked by floating cities located in unknown places.

Here, magic has been developed for multiple uses, and many low-level mages use this method to accumulate resources.

In Li Si's view, the Pancontinental Mage Association was less of a supernatural force and more of a massive magic academy.

The atmosphere here perfectly illustrates this point.

Li Si quite liked this feeling.

Should we do the same thing in Kane's Sky City later?
Li Si and Lisa continued their leisurely stroll, fully enjoying their rare free time.

Just then, Li Si saw several young men in magic robes with magical light flashing in their hands on an open space to his left.

Li Si immediately noticed that various magical protective barriers had been specially set up on this open space paved with blue bricks.

So, this is a place specifically for mages who don't have the necessary skills to try out spells?

Li Si became somewhat interested and headed towards that direction.

The passersby paid no attention to those using magic in the area, as if it were a normal thing in Jonas City.

The two mages closest to Li Si stood at the edge of the arena, maintaining a certain distance from each other.

On the left, a tall, blond boy was completely focused, and fire elements seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, continuously converging into his hands.

As time went by, these fire elements gradually wove into a complex and intricate magical elemental model in his palm.

The model shimmered with dazzling light, as if it contained explosive power, waiting only for the final step to be completed before it could unleash its astonishing power.

However, at this crucial moment, the blond boy's expression changed, and his hands suddenly trembled slightly.

This caused his magic output to pause for a moment.

This sudden change caused the elemental model he was barely maintaining to instantly lose stability and begin to fluctuate violently.

Bang~
Immediately afterwards, with a low rumble, the entire elemental model in the blond boy's hand collapsed.

The condensed fire element transformed into a blazing flame, sweeping wildly in all directions.

At this critical moment, a pale blue light suddenly rose from the ground around the blond boy, forming a solid barrier.

This barrier, like an indestructible wall, firmly blocked the blazing flames.

The flames pounded wildly against the barrier, but they could not penetrate it.

Ultimately, under the suppression of the surging magic, the out-of-control flames gradually weakened and eventually dissipated into nothingness.

Despite the accident, the blond boy was not injured.

His clothes were charred by the flames, making him look rather disheveled.

He took a deep breath and squatted down to think.

Clearly, they were not defeated by this failure, but rather reflected on what went wrong in the past.

Meanwhile, not far away, a short, brown-haired boy was also concentrating on casting his spell.

The magic in his hands flowed like invisible water, slowly circulating around his fingertips.

His expression was serious and focused, as if his entire being was devoted to his hands.

Unlike the blond boy, the brown-haired boy's magic seemed more bizarre.

Where the magic in his hands converged, space seemed to begin to distort.

The distortion was not obvious, but the danger it contained was clearly perceptible.

At that moment, it was as if the space itself was being drawn by his magic and began to change according to his will.

The brown-haired boy frowned; he was clearly also challenging himself to master a new spell.

He constantly adjusted his magic output, trying to find that perfect balance point so that the spells could be cast smoothly.

As time went on, the spatial distortion in the brown-haired boy's hands became increasingly obvious.

He felt as if he had touched some kind of mysterious threshold, and only needed to take another step to open the door to the unknown world.

However, at this crucial moment, he also encountered a similar predicament to the blond boy.

His magical output seemed to have exceeded a certain limit and suddenly became unstable.

This caused the space in his hands to distort and become chaotic.

Faced with this sudden turn of events and feeling the cutting pain in his hands, the brown-haired boy panicked.

It seems, it appears.
This time it seems to be much more dangerous than he imagined?
"If you don't stop, you'll lose both your hands."

A voice suddenly appeared in the brown-haired boy's ear.
