Wizard's Journey

Chapter 141 Magnificent

Under Cameron's guidance, Greene experienced firsthand the prosperity and civilization of the central region of the Seven Rings Tower.

After spending five days at the castle of the Wizard of Moon Lake, Green and Peranos set off again for their final destination, the Seven Rings Tower.

……

three days later.

In the desolate wilderness, Peranos and Grimm savored the roasted meat and broth prepared by a humanoid creature nearby. The exotic aroma wafted through the air, and Grimm's eyes lit up as he began to savor the food. Peranos, on the other hand, seemed quite used to this; after a burst of magical energy, he sent the soul servant back to the Black Tower Secret Realm.

This is also one of the benefits of serving as the headmaster of a regional wizarding academy; one can place one's own soul servants in the Tower Master's Secret Realm and summon them to the wizarding world at any time at the cost of consuming the wizarding tower's magic power.

Peranos, seeing Green's eager expression, shook his head and said, "After you become a formal wizard for several hundred years, these things will be nothing special."

Green wiped the grease from his lips and shook his head, saying, "Master, it's precisely because I haven't yet become a full-fledged wizard and experienced that much time that I must fully enjoy the wonderful moments that belong to a wizard apprentice. Otherwise, if I've lost these basic interests by then, and even have no fond memories left, wouldn't my previous life be a complete blank and utterly meaningless?"

Peranos's hand holding the spoon trembled, and he looked at Green in surprise.

Green's words made Peranos look at him in a new light.

The flickering firelight danced in the mountains, the distant chirping of insects rose and fell, and the moonlight seemed to drape the earth in a silver veil before shyly hiding behind the clouds.

At this moment, Green was fully enjoying a wonderful experience that formal wizards could not feel.

This wonderful feeling comes from the wonder and anticipation of the unfamiliar natural world around us, as if the magical and beautiful nature will present an unexpected surprise at any moment. On the contrary, for wizards, due to the accumulation of years and knowledge, as well as their ability to guide and control the forces of nature, it seems that apart from the more profound and mysterious rules and mysteries, the true joy has begun to gradually disappear.

Chirp, chirp, chirp...

Listen, that's the soft murmur of insects in the grass, like the whispers of little elves who have sneaked out to play at night, disobeying their mothers.

Huh?

The instant Green and Peranos looked up, countless faint lights suddenly appeared in the dark grass within tens of kilometers around them, as if in a trance, Green and Peranos had stepped from the wilderness into a fairy tale world.

The countless tiny lights around us are like the twinkling stars in the sky!

Meanwhile, Green and Peranos stood quietly in their childhood dream, staring in disbelief at the stunningly beautiful and dreamlike scenery that had suddenly appeared around them.

Green stared wide-eyed, muttering, "This is..."

"Rainbow River, Green, this is the Rainbow River! This is one of the most beautiful and magnificent sights in the wizarding world, a river of worms made entirely of rainbows. They are a group of wondrous creatures in the wizarding world that devour the light of the Great Glory, and they only occasionally appear in dark, untouched areas." Peranos murmured in astonishment and rapture, his hideous face contorted with rage.

Such emotional fluctuations are extremely rare for an old wizard like Peranos.

The Extreme Light, a beam of light from another world, travels through the void to reach the Wizarding World. The Extreme Light is automatically purified by the Wizarding World's light source rules, and at night, a small amount passes through the Wizarding World's Void Realm and disperses to various parts of the world.

Rainbows are insect-like creatures in the Wizarding World. When rainbows gather in swarms to devour the ethereal light from other worlds, their brief aggregation creates a rainbow in the night sky, known as the Rainbow River.

Rainbow River?

Green remembered that the pyralid among the companion insects was the most popular choice for all wizard apprentices.

However, it is said that the birth of the moth was due to certain changes in the ancient wizarding world. As the sky became less and less filled with the ethereal light, those moths that could not consume the ethereal light gradually mutated into the moths we know today, and began to consume certain rare elements of the wizarding world to survive.

Later, by chance, the wizard discovered that this symbiotic insect moth was even more valuable than the rainbow, which had a camouflage effect under sunlight.

Peranos suddenly waved his hand, extinguishing the campfire, and explained, "These flames will purify the nearby Primordial Light."

hum, hum, hum...

As if summoned by some force, the endless rainbows took flight from Zhou Fei, quickly forming a rainbow tens of meters in diameter that soared straight into the sky. Of course, this colorful rainbow did not take the shape of a curved arch bridge, but rather resembled a rainbow river flowing down from the sky.

Exquisitely beautiful, magically magnificent!

Suddenly, in the boundless night sky, faint, distorted rays of light appeared above the dark night sky. Under the starry sky, these dim, distorted rays of light seemed to be carrying some kind of mission, bearing a certain history, and recording a certain period of time in another world.

Their mission ended when they arrived in the wizarding world and were surrounded by these small creatures that devoured the "light of the otherworld," disappearing into the endless world.

It's unknown how many millennia of void these rays of light from other worlds traversed before reaching the wizarding world.

After a full third of the hourglass time, the faint, distorted light in the sky disappeared, and the rainbow emitted a series of cheerful calls, like birdsong at dawn. The countless points of light on the rainbow gradually dimmed and vanished.

The sky and the earth returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was truly just a dream.

Green murmured in a daze, "The wondrous and beautiful nature..."

……

Five days later.

Green and Peranos stood atop a towering mountain range, their faces grim.

The raging sandstorm and gravel made Grimm squint. The shield rattled incessantly, and countless ripples spread across the transparent shield, like calm water being disturbed by a downpour.

Peranos stood in front of Green and shook his head, saying, "This is the Camel Wind formed after an ancient alien being skilled in manipulating hurricane power perished in the wizarding world. This powerful alien being and the True Spirit Wizard who summoned it to the wizarding world both perished here during the Second Civilization War, thus forming the unique natural disasters here: Camel Wind and Molten Lightning. This is the 'Double Ring True Relic Fall' basin in the Seven Rings Holy Tower region."

The so-called double rings probably refer to the overlapping and interlocking shape of the two vast craters left behind after the fall of two True Spirit Wizard-level beings.

Tens of kilometers below the basin, a terrifying hurricane, over a hundred meters in diameter and shooting straight into the sky, raged. The surrounding soil, rocks, and sand were either swept up and propelled into the heavens or shot out like arrows, creating a terrifying nightmare region. In the sky, streaks of blood-red lightning fell inexplicably every dozen breaths, striking the ground and creating craters of lava with muffled "plop, plop, plop" sounds, like a blacksmith's red-hot sword blank being plunged into icy water.

call……

Green suddenly felt the power of the hurricane around him become even more violent. His eyes narrowed slightly behind his pale mask, and he saw that in the distance, two terrifying hurricanes intertwined and gradually formed under the swirls of blood-red lightning. Even the lava caused by the electric currents on the ground was being swept up.

In the more distant, dust-shrouded, and gloomy regions, who knows how many more terrifying hurricanes like these exist?

Green had no doubt that if he dared to cross this valley alone at this moment, he would be mercilessly torn to shreds and blasted into ashes by the hurricanes and molten electricity within half an hourglass.

"If we had gone through the two rings, we would have reached the Seventh Ring Tower in just over ten days. But now that we're caught in the raging storm of the Camel Wind and the Molten Lightning, even I wouldn't dare take the risk. Let's bypass this Great Basin of Fallen Twin Rings. If we fly at full speed, we should be able to get around it in three months," Peranos said with a frown.

Three months?

Green was slightly surprised. It would take a full-fledged wizard three months to circle a large basin formed after the fall of a true wizard.

No wonder my mentor said that one-sixth of the Wizarding Continent was destroyed after the Second Civilization War. Heaven knows how many more large and small Holy Marks and True Spirit Wizard Craters are left on the Wizarding Continent.

However, since even Instructor Peranos said he dared not easily cross this apocalyptic double-ringed artifact-fallen basin, Green dared not say anything more. After nodding, Green followed Peranos with a sigh and left around the outer edge of the mountain range.

One side of the mountain range resembles a scene of apocalypse, while the other side presents a peaceful scene of the wizarding world with its changing seasons and the cycle of day and night, as if they were two completely different worlds.

…………

Two months later!

Green and Peranos finally reached the edge of the Seventh Ring Tower.

On the shell of a giant snail, which was over ten meters tall, Peranos, Green, and seven or eight formal wizards and their apprentices with halos performed simple wizarding rituals for each other, and then silently waited for the snail beneath them to steadily and rapidly "climb" to the top of the giant defensive shield.

"This is the Seventh Ring Holy Tower Wizard Shield. Unless you have the energy level of a Holy Mark Wizard or are protected by the original will of the Wizarding World, you will be completely purified by the shield if you wander in recklessly," Peranos whispered.

Sitting on the snail's back, Green nodded, secretly swallowing as he looked at the so-called defensive shield beneath the snail.

This enormous, transparent defensive shield resembled an inverted transparent cauldron, somewhat similar to the defensive shield on the arena. However, the area of ​​this Seventh Ring Holy Tower's defensive shield was far too vast, completely isolating a small section of the wizarding world, spanning countless kilometers!

To enter the interior of the defensive shield, any qualified wizard can easily pass through the checkpoints scattered around the shield on the ground, and then go through certain steps to reach the Seventh Ring Holy Tower.

If one wishes to reach the Seventh Ring Holy Tower, apart from the snails known as Seventh Ring Messengers that can climb the defensive shield unharmed, any other life form that is not recognized by the original will of the Wizarding World and dares to make malicious contact will suffer a devastating blow.

Five hourglasses later, a violent energy fluctuation beneath the steep defensive barrier that the snail had climbed caught the attention of Grimm and all the wizard apprentices.

Slightly surprised, Green, like all the wizard apprentices on the snail shell, looked into the transparent wizard dome beneath the snail.

This is……

A wizard's tower? A towering and imposing wizard's tower resembling the Black Tower? Is this... the Seventh Ring Holy Tower?

Not only Green, but all the other wizard apprentices looked at the wizard tower beneath the snail with doubt. Although it was magnificent, majestic, and awe-inspiring, it was far from the human holy land of the wizarding world that they had imagined.

Is a mere wizard tower, seven or eight hundred meters high, really the holy land of the human race?

Seeing the questioning look in Green's eyes, Peranos said calmly, "This is just an energy node of the magic circle that supports the wizard's shield at the Seventh Ring Holy Tower. Otherwise, what do you think powers such a vast and expansive wizard's shield?"

Beneath the pale mask, Green's mouth gaped open in utter horror.

A wizard's shield magic circle that uses six wizard towers as energy nodes?

…………

Three days later!

The snails beneath them appeared to be moving steadily and "slowly," but their crawling speed on the Seven Rings Holy Tower's defensive shield was actually much faster than a wizard flying at full speed.

Just when everyone felt that there were clouds hundreds of meters above their heads, an endless expanse of lush green appeared below the distant transparent defensive shield "shield plane," with towering, dense green treetops reaching the very top of this ten-thousand-meter-high defensive shield.

After a moment of stunned silence, Green responded and murmured softly, "This...this is the Wizarding World...the Tree of Life?"
