Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

A decent space tent can have five or six times the space, and an even better one can have more than ten times the space. It is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities, including gardens and swimming pools, which is almost equivalent to an entire portable manor.

This involves a sophisticated "space fragment solidification" technology, which utilizes a highly stable void biological skin to compress stable bubbles in the three-dimensional world.

Of course, the price also reached a level that left even Dagger speechless.

That's an enormous fortune, enough to buy a small magic stone mine, which is extremely low value for a wizard seeking equivalent exchange.

Dago eventually chose a mid-range space tent, which was reasonably priced at only 500 high-grade magic stones.

After the deal was made, the first-ring wizard who was selling the space tent left Dago a communication stone, politely indicating that if any problems arose with the tent during the battle, he could contact them for repairs and maintenance.

There are many similar "wizard merchants" around the Fairy Ancient City ruins. They wear the same type of gray-green robes, with a beautiful pattern of a gold coin surrounded by a staff, books, and keys embroidered on their chests.

These people belong to an organization called the "Hamet Chamber of Commerce," which even set up a sizable trading market at the junction of the outer and middle layers of the ruins, and whose power and methods are remarkable.

After purchasing the space tent, Dago walked through the crowd toward the inner part of the ruins.

The area surrounding the Fairy Ancient City Ruins was filled with people, divided into three distinct zones based on their strength: the innermost zone was the residence of the third-ring wizards, the middle zone was for the second-ring wizards, and the outermost zone was filled with the largest number of first-ring official wizards.

This class division is not artificially defined, but rather based on the natural repulsion of the "spiritual force field".

When there are many people, friction is inevitable.

Resources are finite, but desires are infinite.

In the short distance Dagger walked from the outermost layer to the middle layer, he witnessed no fewer than five clashes, though both sides involved were remarkably restrained.

They might stop fighting after exchanging a couple of simple spells, but those who couldn't hold back would go to the outermost edge to fight together.

Beside this ruin filled with unknown dangers, pointless injuries will only make you a target for others.

The key point is "order amidst chaos".

More than 10,000 formal wizards of the first level or above gathered in one place. Above the vast ruins of the ancient fairy city, a large number of free energy particles were drawn by the spiritual energy fluctuations naturally emitted by the wizards, forming colorful streams of light that could be observed with the naked eye, which was quite strange.

This is the "elemental tide" at the macro level, a resonance of world rules caused by ten thousand souls pursuing truth.

When Dago observed with the Eye of Truth, he felt as if he were surrounded by a vast and dazzling constellation.

Each glimmer of light represents a formal wizard of the first ring or higher, and deep within are rings of "Moonlight and Sunlight" representing the third ring.

The space around those "suns" was slightly distorted, which was a manifestation of the overflow of the power of the rules.

"call--"

Dargo stepped into the area of ​​the middle-level second-circle wizards and found a relatively open and flat spot near the outer edge.

While he was setting up the space tent, people peeked out from several tents about twenty meters away.

Those were several tentacles of mental energy, filled with scrutiny and malice, licking towards us like cold, damp snake tongues.

Dago glanced at them indifferently, then spread out his mental energy fluctuations, which were at the late stage of the second ring. Most of the people who had peeked out to investigate quickly retreated, which was considered as "acknowledging" his qualification to be stationed here.

The path to truth needs no pity from the weak, only the awe of the strong.

This silent confrontation is more dangerous than a magical clash; a slight misstep can expose the weaknesses of one's soul.

Several other people walked directly out of the tent and came straight towards him, seemingly intending to strike up a conversation and make his acquaintance.

These are speculators trying to increase their chances of survival in the impending chaos by forming alliances.

Dago didn't give them a chance. After setting up the tent, he went straight inside. At this stage, he really didn't have the mind to waste time and energy on networking, which was not very meaningful.

For a wizard, only their own knowledge and power are their eternal reliance.

The space tent, purchased for 500 high-level magic stones, has an interior space of only about 45 square meters, but despite its small size, it is quite fully equipped.

The spatial structure here has been reinforced by alchemy, and the walls are engraved with runes that can isolate the erosion of low-level elements.

In addition to the essential rest bedroom and bathroom, there is also a small living room and meditation room.

The floor of the meditation room was covered with some kind of animal hide carpet that could gather spiritual energy. Although it was just scraps pieced together, it was better than nothing.

Everything needed for daily life is provided inside, including some fresh water and food.

The tent has excellent sound insulation, blocking out most of the external noise, but it is not completely unable to perceive external movements. In addition, it also has certain defensive and early warning functions.

A crystal ball hangs from the top of the tent, constantly monitoring any abnormal elemental fluctuations within a 50-meter radius.

The biggest difference between a spatial tent and a regular spatial storage device is that it is not a completely independent and private space. Considering ventilation and potential external attacks, this design takes into account...

The space inside the tent is actually quite fragile. According to the wizards of the "Hamet Chamber of Commerce" who sell the tents, even a first-level wizard can tear the tent apart and escape if necessary.

This is a compromise design based on the instinct for survival, preventing the tent from becoming an iron coffin for the user.

It must be said that the person who developed this magical artifact has considered almost every aspect.

This is a mature, industrially refined metal product, brimming with the brilliance of rationality.

Dago washed his hands and face, getting rid of the "dust" of the journey, and then took out several communication stones from his spatial ring, sending messages to Undine, Bernal, and Serena that he had arrived at the Fairy Ancient City Ruins.

Checking the previously sent communication stones, neither Barker nor Ginya replied. However, the other communication stone that the silver-haired witch Emily had given him in the Emerald Court of the Mechanical Heart received a message.

The message indicated that the other party, representing Jade Court, had extended an invitation to him.

This is a recruitment by a powerful force, which often means constraints and responsibilities, as well as scarce knowledge resources.

Dargo was quite curious about the Emerald Court, this wizarding power in the central region, but the message did not specify the exact location of the Emerald Court members.

Even if Dago wanted to keep the appointment, he couldn't find them anywhere.

It's most likely in the innermost area, but since it's the gathering place for third-ring wizards, anyone who enters now receives a unique "welcome ceremony."

For example, the third-ring wizard that Dargo had seen before, riding a giant yellow bat.

That is the center of the rules, and also the center of the storm.

Without sufficient strength, rashly entering the field will only result in becoming cannon fodder.

I thought about it and decided to forget it; I was too lazy to reply.

Just as Dago put down the communication stone, he noticed that someone outside had triggered the "access control" of the space tent.

It was an extremely faint yet uniquely recognizable fluctuation of spiritual energy.

Dago initially thought they were one of the "neighbors" who had tried to befriend him before, but after extending his mental energy to investigate, he discovered...

It turned out to be Emily, the silver-haired witch from the Emerald Court whom they had met before.

How did she pinpoint this location so precisely?

Did she leave some kind of tracking mark on the communication stone?

After confirming the visitor's identity, Dago's eyes flickered. After considering for a moment, he went out.
