The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 176 Silver Ring Upper City
Wizards who can freely travel to Upper Silver Ring are generally wealthy and powerful, so Greytooth was indeed exaggerating earlier.

He didn't have any stable purchasing channels in Upper Silverring; he only knew a wizard who could go to Upper Silverring.

Greytooth did ask that wizard to buy things for him once or twice, but that was only because the wizard happened to be interested and he was short of money.

Now that time has passed, the wizard no longer lacks magic stones, and Graytooth's relationship with him is shallow. If you want to ask him to buy something for you now, you'd be lucky to get a response once in ten times, let alone successfully buy it for you.

Therefore, Greyfang would not let go of a wizard who might be able to travel to Upper Silver Ring.

After all, buying things on behalf of others is extremely profitable; otherwise, he wouldn't have shamelessly gone to that wizard time and time again.

"Before we discuss the specifics of the business, please forgive my audacity, but do you have the qualifications to travel to Silver Ring Upper City?" Graytooth asked with a broad smile.

“Yes.” Lynn nodded.

A look of surprise flashed in Graytooth's eyes, and his smile became even brighter.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Xina walked in carrying a cup of freshly brewed hot tea.

Greytooth suppressed his excitement and said, "The tea is here, sir."

Xina placed the white porcelain cup in front of Lynn and picked up the teapot to pour out the tea leaves.

The transparent water column slowly fell, quickly filling half a cup. Lynn took a closer look and, judging from both its color and smell, it looked like an ordinary glass of water.

"Distinguished guest, your arrival was so sudden that we didn't have any better tea prepared. Please forgive our inconvenience." Gray Fang was the first to pick up his teacup and take a small sip.
"However, I think this Chequan tea is just like you. At first glance, it is clear and bright, but upon closer inspection, its inner beauty is even more apparent."

Lynn also picked up her tea and took a sip.

In an instant, the rich aroma of tea spread from the tip of the tongue, invigorating the spirit.

Having a drink before meditation should help you get into the state of mind faster.

"You flatter me, sir. I think this tea is already excellent." Lynn did not hold back his praise, extending goodwill.

Although he still has tens of thousands of magic stones in his possession, it's never wrong to plan ahead!

The two of them flattered each other and then reintroduced themselves.

Lynn then learned that the wizard in front of him was named Rosen Evans, a first-tier intermediate wizard, and a native of Silver Ring Academy.

In the wizarding world, each academy is like a kingdom.

Although there are no more complicated restrictions on the movement of people than in the previous life, the native wizards who have lived in the academy for a long time are still different from ordinary wizards.

These types of wizards are known as Silver Ring residents at Silver Ring Academy.

They have official certification from the academy and possess more rights than ordinary visiting wizards, but still far less than those of formal academy members.

In addition, Rosen mentioned that his daughter, Xina, who serves tea, has successfully enrolled in Silver Ring Academy.

According to the laws of Silver Ring Academy, if Xena successfully advances to the first-tier wizard level, her immediate family member Rosen will also be granted the status of a formal member of Silver Ring Academy.

These are, in essence, the goals that the vast majority of Silver Ring residents strive for.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two became a little more familiar with each other.

Lawson also began to discuss the specifics of the purchasing agent process.

This part didn't take the two of them too much time.

One reason is that the act of buying things on behalf of others is simple and there's not much to say about it.

Another point is that Rosen is truly sincere – he only takes 5% of the profits from all the purchasing agents, while giving Lynn the greatest freedom, allowing him to terminate the purchasing service at any time if he no longer wishes to do so.

There's not much to say; Lynn, who already lacked ways to earn magic stones, immediately signed a contract with them.

……

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Lynn and Samuel arrived at the teleportation tower.

The upper city of the Silver Ring in the sky is different from the middle and lower city below, and has a strict curfew.

Most wizards can only enter and leave Silver Ring Upper City during the day.

At the same time, there are only two fixed ways to get to Upper Silver Ring.

One method involves using a dedicated flying shuttle, while the other involves using a dedicated teleportation array.

Even second-tier wizards must abide by this rule; it is absolutely impossible for them to fly directly up there. They would be blasted into pieces by various defensive weapons before they even arrive.

Because they arrived early, the teleportation array had not yet opened, but the waiting hall was already filled with powerful wizards, all of whom were first-tier, and most of them were advanced first-tier wizards.

As for second-tier wizards, they have a separate waiting room.

"I wonder what Silver Ring Upper City will look like." As the time for the teleportation array to open drew near, Samuel beside him showed anticipation.

"We'll find out soon enough," Lynn thought, quite curious as well.

hum-

With a buzzing sound, the barrier surrounding the teleportation array quietly dissipated.

Lynn exhaled and stepped forward.

A moment later, a faint light flashed from the teleportation array beneath their feet, their vision went dark for a brief moment, and they found themselves in a different place.

The area outside the teleportation array was unremarkable, looking no different from the interior of the teleportation tower in the central city.

But as Lynn and Samuel stepped out of the teleportation tower, a bizarre and wonderful scene immediately came into view.

The bizarre and wonderful thing here is not the strangeness of the buildings, but the pedestrians.

Almost half of the pedestrians looked quite strange.

Some resemble humanoid slimes, with a semi-transparent body and flowing with a faint blue light. Others are simply a slowly drifting ball of humanoid energy. Still others are not humanoid at all, but strange creatures of some kind of floating mechanical construct. It is unknown whether their true form is hidden deep within, or whether they are merely puppets.

All of the above only refers to wizards. The otherworldly slaves who are not counted as pedestrians and do not wear wizard badges are even more bizarre and eye-catching.

“It’s really strange,” Samuel exclaimed. “No wonder people always say that you’ve only truly been to Silver Ring Academy if you’ve come to Upper Silver Ring.”

"Even in the entire Aurora Region, this place can be considered one of the most prosperous places."

“I’m afraid so.” Lynn nodded. He had been in Silver Ring City for quite some time, but the number of high-level wizards he had seen was probably not as many as in the few minutes he had just spent there.

It seems that most of these second- and third-tier wizards, whether from Silver Ring Academy or from elsewhere, have gathered here.

After all, Silver Ring Upper City, the academy's Silver Ring Academy, is just a huge ring-shaped flying fortress, but its area is so large that it almost covers most of Silver Ring Middle City.

With the addition of various advanced magic arrays, the blue sky, white clouds, and earth are all present... When you are in it, you don't feel like you are in a flying fortress at all. Instead, it feels like you are in a more prosperous and clean central urban area.

Many second- and third-tier wizards, or wealthy first-tier wizards, who come to Silver Ring Academy stay in Upper Silver Ring for the entire time and do not go down.

Next, the two strolled around the area for a bit before boarding the orbital shuttle and heading towards the World Conquest Association, as planned.

The Rail Shuttle is a unique mode of transportation in Silver Ring Upper City; as the name suggests, it is a shuttle that runs on an energy track.

It has two main characteristics. One is that its orbit is not made of physical matter, but is composed of special confined energy, so it is easy to change the route and will not affect the surrounding area when it is shut down.

Another characteristic is its speed; it is extremely fast, equivalent to the speed of a normal second-tier wizard flying at full speed.

So, just half a minute later, Lynn and Samuel arrived at their destination—

World Conquest Association.
