The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard
Chapter 99 Tower of Truth
Chapter 99 Tower of Truth
After leaving the Golden Dragon Wizard Academy, the master and apprentice took several more airship trips. During this time, Richard saw a lot of things, such as the no-man's land he was looking at now.
"According to the description on the map, this area should be called Balto Peak." Joe Lord pointed to a large basin not far away and said, "During the Wizard War, this mountain was transformed into a fortress by the Alchemy School. A great wizard from the Shaper School destroyed the fortress and left a nearly permanent spatial distortion in this area."
As he spoke, Joe Lord swung his staff and fired a fireball into the basin.
With a loud "boom", the space in the entire basin suddenly became distorted, and space cracks appeared out of thin air. Elemental torrents gushed out from them, and in an instant an elemental storm formed in the basin.
Any matter drawn in is shredded into its original elemental form.
"Behind these spatial rifts are the Four Elements Territory. The elemental creatures we summon all come from the Four Elements Territory, including your fire elemental giant."
Li looked at the spectacular scenery in the basin and began to record data involuntarily.
Several years of traveling made Richard develop the habit of recording any strange phenomena he saw.
Joe Lord glanced at Richard and nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of approval.
The most important thing for a wizard is his thirst for knowledge.
After leaving Balto Basin, Joe Lord took Richard and flew to the Tower of Truth.
……
"Is this the Tower of Truth?" Richard asked, looking at the mountain-like shadows in the distance.
The shadow connecting heaven and earth doesn't look like a tower at all. If Richard were to describe it, the word "pillar of heaven" would be the most appropriate.
"Yes and no," Joe Lord replied.
"What does this mean?" Richard was a little confused.
Qiao Luode looked at the shadow of the Tower of Truth and sighed: "Because that is only a part of the Tower of Truth. The real core of the Tower of Truth is hidden in the void. Only those who are allowed can get a glimpse of it."
After saying that, he waved his staff and flew towards the Tower of Truth with Richard.
Joelod was flying very fast, but Richard always felt that the distance between them and the Tower of Truth was not getting closer.
For the first time, Richard experienced what it meant to run to the mountain and then die.
After flying for about a day, Richard and his companions finally arrived at the foot of the Tower of Truth.
Richard was also able to see the appearance of the giant tower - a huge tree that reached from the sky to the earth.
It was difficult for Richard to describe the tree in words, because no matter how magnificent the adjectives were, they seemed so powerless in front of it.
The tree canopy with a radius of hundreds of kilometers almost blocked out the sun. Fireflies as big as balloons were flying in groups under the tree canopy. Although it was clearly daytime, Richard felt as if it was night.
Looking at all this, a word popped into Richard's mind - World Tree.
That's the only word that fits this giant tree.
"The main structure of the Tower of Truth is five world trees from another world. These world trees absorb magic power to grow and have almost no limit to their growth. The great wizard of truth fed them with massive amounts of magic stones, and finally obtained the main structure of the Tower of Truth." Qiao Luode introduced while flying.
The entrance to the Tower of Truth is a dark blue portal at the root of a giant tree, like a giant eye. The portal is so huge that even airships can enter and exit without any problems. A large number of wizards go in and out of the portal, each of them carrying an unfathomable aura.
"Let's go and get promoted to a wizard."
Entering the portal, the familiar feeling of nausea once again surged into Richard's heart. But now that his mental strength and physical fitness had improved, the feeling became less uncomfortable.
As the scenery before his eyes returned to normal, Richard came to a gorgeous space.
In front of him, countless wizards were flying in the sky, drawing brilliant tracks. Buildings of various shapes were scattered on the ground. Some of these buildings looked like office buildings, while others looked like bird nests made of branches. Putting them together gave Richard a very absurd feeling.
He looked up at the sky and found that what was there was not a ceiling but a real sky with the sun.
"Is this a secret place?" Richard asked uncertainly.
"Guessed it right."
Jorode took Richard on a flight, during which Richard saw many strange creatures, which he thought were slaves brought by wizards from another world. Finally, the master and apprentice came to a portal that was the same as the one that led to the Tower of Truth.
"The floor we are on now, the first thirty floors of the Tower of Truth are where wizards live. These wizards usually live in the Tower of Truth and are the main troops in the plane war." Qiao Luode introduced.
"The most important troops?" Richard was a little confused. "Aren't the wizards trained by the academy enough?"
Joe Lord glanced at him as if Richard had asked a stupid question.
"We are a black wizard academy. When we fight a plane war, where will our white wizard army come from? Moreover, the wizards trained by the academy are not sold to the academy. As long as you have fought a plane war for the academy, you are theoretically free.
These residential floors of the Tower of Truth are prepared for free wizards.
In addition to free wizards, the wizard academy will also establish a wizard community in the residential area, allowing wizards who have signed a contract with the academy but do not want to be teachers to live there, so that they can be recruited in the event of a plane war. "
Richard blushed and smiled sheepishly.
He really hadn't thought of these things.
Through the portal, the master and disciple quickly left the living floor.
Above the residential floor is the commercial floor, where the Wizarding World's Wizarding Chamber of Commerce sells exotic products from all over the world and even from other worlds, as well as various alien slaves.
Joe Lord took Richard around, and in just this one moment, Richard saw more than a dozen different alien creatures. These alien creatures were wearing slave collars, and although their auras were weak, Richard could still feel that these creatures were all first-level creatures.
"Level 1 creatures are being sold as if they were commodities?" Richard asked in disbelief.
According to his idea, first-level creatures should be superior slaves at least, and most wizards should use slaves with apprentice strength.
After all, most wizards are only first-level creatures, that is, first-ring wizards.
"Don't think that first-level creatures are so rare, Richard." Joe Lord explained with a smile, "You think first-level creatures are out of your reach now because you are a wizard apprentice and have seen too little.
In fact, level one creatures are the most basic soldiers for plane wars.
Only when you reach the level of a first-level creature will you be qualified to enter the plane battlefield.
Every time a plane is conquered, the wizard can capture tens or even millions of first-level creature slaves from the conquered plane.
A small portion of these slaves will be sold in the market to make up for the losses in the Great Wizard's Plane War, while the majority will be kept in captivity by the Great Wizard and used as a slave army.
After all, we are one academy facing one world. If we don’t have the miscellaneous soldiers to help us consume the strength of the natives, our losses will be very great.”
After listening to this, Richard nodded thoughtfully.
He suddenly thought that the remaining limbs of these slaves after their death seemed to be good materials for cultivating synthetic beasts.
Ten thousand slaves died, but the remaining flesh and blood could be used to make a lot of synthetic beasts to continue serving as cannon fodder.
No wonder synthesizing beasts is a technology that every academy must master.
"Of course, don't take yourself too lightly."
Joe Lord paused, he felt it was not a good idea to say this to Richard, an apprentice who was just about to be promoted to a wizard.
It sounds so discouraging that one's students worked so hard to get a promotion qualification, but in the end they just had to serve as a soldier on the battlefield.
So he comforted her:
"Wizards are different from these things. Although we are all first-level creatures, we are much stronger than these indigenous aliens."
After leaving the commercial floor, Richard instantly felt the concentration of magic in the air drop. Looking around, he saw the cold metal replacing the land. He looked up at the sky, and saw magic stone lamps replacing the bright sun.
He was now in a steel hall with many wizards inside. After Joe Lord appeared, they all turned their eyes over.
"We are now at the working level, under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice of the Parliament of Truth. All illegal acts will be severely punished." Qiao Luode whispered, "I heard that the punishment for breaking the law here is twice as high as outside."
Richard nodded nervously, then followed Joe Lord to a corner of the hall.
"Promote to wizard." Joe Lord handed the wizard scroll to the staff.
The staff took the scroll and injected magic power into it.
A ray of light shot out and hit the crystal on the staff member's forehead.
"Okay, is this kid going to be promoted?" the wizard looked at Richard and asked.
"Ah."
"Child, come here for a moment."
Richard did as he was told and came to the working wizard. The wizard looked like an ordinary human, except for a colorless crystal on his forehead.
He asked Richard to stretch out his hand, and then placed a magic mark on Richard's hand.
"The mark is completed. You have three minutes to speak. After three minutes, you will be automatically teleported to the promotion room." The working wizard said coldly.
Richard looked at Jorode, who looked back at him.
The master and disciple did not say anything sentimental. Joe Lord walked up to Richard and patted him on the shoulder.
“There is a stage in the wizard’s promotion called the Darkness of the Soul. When you fall into the Darkness of the Soul, you will enter a space with only endless darkness. In that space, your sense of time will be confused. Some wizards even feel that they have been there for an epoch when they wake up.
But I want to tell you, don't panic.
As a wizard, boredom and loneliness are our inseparable enemies. When you fall into the darkness of your soul, you only need to remember one thing.
That’s persistence.”
Qiao Luode's voice was very calm when he spoke, just like he was teaching him knowledge. But people who were familiar with him could tell at once that Qiao Luode's voice was lower than usual.
Becoming a wizard is a matter of life and death.
Qiaoluode has had many students, and many of them failed at this stage.
"I understand, teacher."
Richard smiled, and then the time came and his figure disappeared in a white light.
Change the update time. From now on, it will be updated at 12 noon and 6 pm (~ ̄▽ ̄)~
