Wizard's Journey

Chapter 134 Melody and Will

Led by Peranos, Green had to brave the cold and strong winds to fly to a higher dimension to avoid harassment from some low-intelligence creatures.

From several kilometers away, Green visually assessed the exterior of the spaceship.

Overall, the spaceship looked like a fish swimming in the sky, with a streamlined shape. It was about 300 meters long from head to tail and exuded a heavy metallic luster, somewhat resembling the metallic texture of the "relic" that Grimm had discovered in the Black Tower Secret Realm.

The space fortress base can hold hundreds of such airships. What a behemoth that must be!

No wonder……

No wonder it was described in books as a blood-red moon hanging in the sky.

Ding Dong!

A semi-transparent light shield protected Green, keeping out the strong winds and cold outside. Green and Peranos gradually rose to an altitude of about two thousand meters and flew rapidly into the distance.

Outside, the wind was still howling and the weather was still cold, but inside the protective shield, there was a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, as if they were two completely different worlds.

Peranos said, "Ahead lies the Living Sea. It's called a sea because it's so vast, but it's actually just a large inland lake on the Wizarding Continent. We'll need to fly at full speed over the Living Sea for about three days, then cross a mountain range, and we'll reach the bustling area in the heart of the Seven Rings Holy Tower."

The bustling area in the abdomen is the territory of the arcane wizard families located between the Holy Tower and the surrounding academies. It has a high population density and is a relatively prosperous and thriving area of ​​wizard civilization on the wizarding continent.

Green asked in a puzzled tone, "Mentor, please tell me about the general geographical distribution of the wizarding world."

Ok?

Peranos glanced at Grin, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "The Wizarding World, of course, has the Wizarding Continent at its center. However, the Wizarding Continent only occupies about one-third of the surface world's area; the rest is the Endless Sea, and on this Endless Sea, there are three Holy Towers."

Green asked, "Which three?"

"Sky Tower, Dark Domain Tower, Sea King Altar!" Peranos continued, "The Sky Tower is a civilization left behind by ancient wizards. Its history is incredibly long, even longer than the first ring tower of the Wizarding Continent. It is the core of the wizarding world's civilization."

Green's mouth dropped open; this was the first time he had ever heard that the Sky Tower had such a long history.

Peranos narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "As for the Dark Domain Holy Tower, that is the birthplace of black wizards. Although the Dark Domain is also a member of the Wizarding Alliance, it has always been rejected by the Wizarding Continent due to different rules, and it is a relatively isolated large island group."

Grimm had also heard some things about the terrifying Dark Realm in the wizarding world.

"As for the Sea King Altar, it is a sacred site of the intelligent marine creatures in the Wizarding World. It is a marine civilization that has coexisted with humans in the Wizarding World since the very beginning of its existence, and it has now joined the Wizarding Alliance," Peranos explained the origin of the Sea King Altar.

Wizard Alliance, Sea King Altar?

As for the Wizarding Alliance, Green knew a little bit about it.

It is said that the Wizarding Alliance is the highest-level organization of the wizarding civilization, which includes not only the top wizards in the wizarding world, but also a powerful alliance of all super creatures in the areas ruled by the wizarding civilization.

In other words, powerful beings who coexist peacefully with the wizarding world, or those who have been defeated and become vassals of the wizarding world, must join the Wizarding Alliance to achieve true peaceful coexistence. While the relationship is not one of enslavement, it becomes one of vassalage.

More than half of the creatures in the Wizarding Alliance are not human; this is the ultimate power group of wizarding civilization.

But this was the first time Green had ever heard of the Neptune Altar.

In the wizarding world, there are actually powerful native creature groups that even wizarding civilizations fear.

Peranos shook his head and said sarcastically, "Do you think that human wizards were originally the masters of the wizarding world, and that this world was originally called the wizarding world?"

"Uh...isn't that right?" Green countered.

Peranos sighed and chuckled coldly, "Hmph, in three days, you'll learn about the even more ancient events that predate the First Civilization War in the Wizarding World. Now, let me tell you about the ruling structure of the Holy Tower on the Wizarding Continent."

Green held his breath and stared intently at Peranos.

"All the Holy Towers on the Wizarding Continent were built after the First Civilization War of the Wizarding World. Before that, all high-ranking wizards lived in sky cities. After the First Civilization War... the wizarding civilization gradually prospered and reached its peak after its victory. It is said that at its peak, the Wizarding Continent had far more than seven Holy Towers, which were reduced to the current seven after the Second Civilization War."

Green was breathing heavily, listening intently to Peranos's story.

"In the Wizarding Continent today, humans can only move about half of the land. And all human activity radiates outwards from the various Holy Towers. Regional Wizarding Academies are the front lines responsible for nurturing and protecting ordinary civilians in the development of the Wizarding Continent. As for those families with lineages of arcane wizards, they are like the egg white in the eggshell," Peranos used a vivid analogy.

Regional academies are the eggshell, Holy Towers are the yolk, and the Arcane Wizard Family is the white.

Grimm didn't ask why the humans of the Wizarding Continent radiated outwards from the Holy Tower, because Grimm already had the answer in his heart: the common people of the Wizarding World now are just newborn beings that the Holy Tower specially "cultivated" to reproduce and thrive again after the Second Civilization War of the Wizarding World.

The common people of ancient times? They probably all died out after the Second Civilization War.

Human activity only occupies half of the Wizarding Continent. What about the other half?

"Your other half?"

Peranos asked curiously, "Didn't you see the Great Basin where the Sacred Sites fell? One-third of the other half is like this area, completely unsuitable for human habitation, and the other two-thirds is the protected ecological area like the one we're standing on."

Green's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "The Second Civilization War permanently destroyed one-sixth of the Wizarding Continent?"

Peranos sighed, "You, a wizarding apprentice, don't need to think about these things. In the current wizarding world, the truly prosperous places are the ancestral homes of these arcane wizarding families. These families all have long-standing traditions, and some powerful families even have direct connections with the Holy Tower, and they also operate within some regional academies. By the way, that fat guy you called into the interrogation room last time, he works for an arcane wizarding family called the Purple Gold Flower."

Green let out a soft breath and nodded.

At this time, the wizarding world had indeed not yet recovered from the trauma of the Second Civilization War. Moreover, even the most basic duty of the regional academies was to "protect and nurture" the "wilderness" where civilians cultivated the wizarding continent.

Suddenly, something occurred to Green, and he asked nervously, "What about the underground world?"

Underworld?

After a long silence, Peranos said in a low voice, "The underground space of the Wizarding World is roughly the same size as the surface of the Wizarding Continent, and there are five strange places called the Dragon Abyss."

Green, of course, knew about the deep abyss beneath the earth.

It is said that these abysses, all of them, have a magical function: they can use certain world rules of the earth to give birth to life, endlessly producing countless dragon whelps and strange life forms. This is also the origin of the underground dragon body-refining wizard.

"Grin, do you know what civilization was involved in the Second Civilization War with the Wizarding World?" Peranos suddenly asked.

Green shook his head blankly.

Peranos nodded solemnly and said, "You'll understand the moment you obtain the fragment of the Heart of the World. You must always remember that the Underworld is not the wizarding world's treasure, but its eternal shame."

shame?

Green knew that the underground world was indeed the front line that the powerful civilization had established after the Second Civilization War in the wizarding world, in order to completely defeat the wizarding civilization.

In that case, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a disgrace...

Peranos suddenly gave a "sad" smile and slowly said, "Do you know? That civilization possessed a magical ability, an incredibly powerful ability, which was the fundamental reason for the wizarding civilization's defeat! They could erode the core of a world, altering its laws and regulations. And in every world they conquered, a dark abyss similar to the underground space of the wizarding world would appear. And those dragons that hadn't been instructed by the wizards would become the minions of that civilization..."

Green stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

If that's the case, then isn't that civilization far too...powerful?

Invading and changing a world will inevitably lead to a continuous stream of dragons as the vanguard and henchmen of that civilization's invasion of other worlds.

This war mode is a more powerful mode that is more adapted to the needs of war than the soul slave mode in the Wizarding World!

Peranos gritted his teeth, his voice chilling, "And they call this ability 'The Power of World Origin Corrosion and Conception'! Grin, do you know what that means? In their eyes, it means our wizarding world is being..."

Green knew perfectly well what Peranos was about to say.

Was she forcibly impregnated?

A cold glint flashed, and Peranos exhaled to calm himself down before continuing, "The Wizarding World obtained the inspiration for the 'Origin Will Invasion Technology' from the other side's 'World Origin Erosion and Conception Technology.' The ancient wizards combined it with the ancient wizards' 'Space Fortress Technology' to create the Wizarding Civilization's current 'Origin Space Fortress Invasion' power."

Peranos slowly unveiled a piece of ancient history.

Green clenched his teeth, but his eyes beneath the pale mask remained perfectly calm. As Green looked at his mentor Peranos, who was no longer willing to speak, the steadfastness, wisdom, and ruthlessness characteristic of many mature wizards slowly emerged within him.

At this point, the wizarding world, though seemingly powerful, is nothing more than a homeless, starving wolf, licking its wounds in a sorry state, its eyes glowing with a cold, eerie green light from hatred, anger, and hunger.

This... is the melody and will of the wizarding civilization at this very moment.
