Wizard's Journey

Chapter 143 Space Airship Factory

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Three grey-robed wizards riding on broomsticks flew over from the horizon and landed in front of the snail messenger, respectfully saying, "Seventh Ring Messenger."

"Um."

After grunting, the snail messenger glanced at the round shell behind him and said, "Take him to the Heavenly Capital Peak. Take the other wizard apprentices to the 249th floor of the Seven Rings Holy Tower. I will personally take charge of sending the remaining arcane wizards to the Pioneer Castle."

This "he" naturally refers to Green.

"Yes." One of the three wizards flew toward Grimm, while the other two flew toward the other wizard apprentices.

Peranos looked at Green and said calmly, "Go, and in two or three hundred years, after you become a formal witch hunter wizard, return to Black Tower for a visit."

The concept of time for a formal wizard is completely different from that of a wizarding apprentice. Two or three hundred years may be a lifetime for a wizarding apprentice, but for an old wizard like Peranos, it is just sending off two or three batches of academy students, which is equivalent to two or three mandatory academy tasks in the mind of a wizarding apprentice.

Green knew that it was time to officially begin his life as a wizard.

"Understood." Green's voice was calm. Perhaps Green had waited too long for this moment, and his mind had been prepared for too long and too thoroughly. He had even begun to try to calm himself down and deal with everything.

"It's a pity your senior sister has a special mission, otherwise I could have arranged something for you. Now, you have to rely on yourself. I don't need to say more about your wisdom; you should already know what life will be like in the future. To gain something, you must first give something; this is one of the most basic rules of the endless world—balance." After Peranos's earnest instructions, the other wizard apprentices had mostly said goodbye to their mentors. The snail messenger led these academy wizards away under the watchful eyes of the wizard apprentices.

Presumably, these mentors went to collect the rewards from the Seventh Ring Holy Tower for nurturing prospective demon hunter wizards.

Two wizards riding brooms, along with several wizard apprentices with dim halos above their heads, bid farewell to Grimm and the wizards beside them. Then, a huge bubble enveloped them, and they floated toward the towering, dark brown seven-ringed holy tower that seemed close at hand but was actually extremely far away.

Even a wizarding apprentice like Grimm, who had no in-depth knowledge of mechanics, could easily sense the extraordinary nature of the Seventh Ring Tower.

This feeling...

It was as if the Seven Rings Tower was a life form composed entirely of energy bodies, mechanical objects, and flesh-and-blood synthetic beasts of certain dark wizards.

At this very moment, inside this Seven Rings Holy Tower, a terrifying creature that made the halo above Green's head feel strangely familiar was struggling to suppress its energy fluctuations.

"Let's go. I didn't expect to be so lucky this time, actually running into a peak wizard apprentice. Which district are you from?" The last remaining seventh-ring Holy Tower wizard asked Green.

After performing the wizarding ritual, Green said, "Blacksota Wizarding Academy, District 12."

"Oh? The Dark Wizard faction of District 12." This wizard was probably from an Arcane Wizard family. Hearing that Green was a top wizard apprentice selected from the Dark Wizard faction, he seemed to have expected it and said nothing more.

It was also a giant bubble, but Green and the wizard drifted in the opposite direction of the Seventh Ring Tower at a speed that exceeded the flight speed of a formal wizard.

"What is the Tiandu Peak Vein?" Green asked, carefully sensing the characteristics of the bubble.

This bubble does not appear to be a spell cast by orthodox wizards. The energy rules within it seem to be based on the energy properties that the Seven Rings Tower constantly radiates outwards, and it also contains some life elements, water elements, and the principles of wizard shields.

In short, this sorcery should only be activated in special rule-based spaces like this Seven Rings Holy Tower space or under the Tree of Life's defensive shield.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some wizards in the wizarding world possess similar magical abilities.

The wizard who controlled the bubble to fly said calmly, "Tian Du Peak is the guardian of this Seventh Ring World. It is a special life form cultivated by the Seventh Ring True Spirit Wizard. In this space, it enjoys the treatment of a Saint Mark Wizard in the Wizarding World. In previous years, the five peak wizard apprentices would gather at Tian Du Peak after arriving in the Seventh Ring World, and then go to the Heart of the World together at the designated time."

The Seven Rings World? Guardians?

Grimm was somewhat surprised. As the World Guardian, Grimm already knew some things: often, beings in those small worlds who were equivalent to the strength of a fourth-level wizard would be recognized by the world's original will and thus become World Guardians.

But this is clearly a fragment of a world without any primordial will, yet it's called a seventh-ring world? And it even has a world guardian?

Could it be...?

The Seven Rings Holy Tower "artificially created" a "pseudo-world origin will," and then made this so-called Heavenly Capital Peak Vein creature the guardian of this world?

So, in some respects, is this seventh-ring True Spirit Wizard the fundamental will of this shattered world?

Based on this glimpse of the knowledge system, the abilities that this seventh-ring True Spirit Wizard possesses may be quite different from those of ordinary elemental wizards.

…………

three days later.

As they moved further and further away from the Seventh Ring Tower, the number of other creatures in the dim sky decreased, and those that did appear were mostly strangely shaped birds.

Rumble...

In front of them, a towering and majestic building resembling a primitive volcano appeared. With a loud bang, the "crater gate" slowly opened, and a shark-shaped spaceship, over three hundred meters long, floated up slowly, its thick metal emitting a cold, eerie light.

This is……

"Yes, this is a spaceship manufacturing factory in the Seventh Ring World. Of course, most of the mechanical wizards here are contractually hired by the Sky Tower, and there are very few mechanical wizards native to our Seventh Ring Tower." After explaining, the wizard manipulated the bubble to bypass the spaceship that was constantly rising.

A spaceship manufacturing plant?

This time, Gerry was finally able to observe the spaceship, which was named one of the three major specialties of mechanical wizards in the wizarding world, up close.

The three specialties of the Mechanical Wizard are mechanical puppets, mech hearts, and spaceships.

The spaceship's enormous mouth, resembling a shark's maw, seemed like a dark space leading to hell, filled with a chilling aura, or the gaping maw of an unknown sea creature, ready to devour anyone who might approach it.

This is the main cannon of the spaceship, a super-magical disintegration cannon that is said to be able to threaten beings at the life level of a Saint Mark Wizard.

In addition, the spaceship is equipped with two retractable mechanical arms and four secondary cannons, giving it considerable intimidation capabilities. This single spaceship alone would likely be enough to drive many relatively weak level three creatures to despair.

With those low-level light wizards working together to pilot these spaceships, it's no wonder that legion warfare completely replaced dark wizards who relied on individual strength.

As the bubbles gradually floated away, the spaceship manufacturing plant, which resembled a volcano, disappeared from Green's view.

Suddenly, something occurred to Green, and he asked the wizard who was controlling the bubble, "Then, the space fortress manufacturing plant in the seventh ring world...?"

You're overthinking it.

The wizard glanced at Grimm and shook his head, saying, "In the current wizarding world, only Sky City possesses the technology to build space fortresses. All the space fortresses of the Holy Towers are simply ordered from Sky City."

A space fortress ordered from Sky City?

No wonder he saw a blood-red moon approaching from afar when he passed through the void layer before the water curtain sky; it turned out to be slowly flying over from the Sky City. For those Saint Mark Wizards who wanted to conquer and enslave an alien world, the most basic investment was to permanently station a space fortress there. As for the value of purchasing the space fortress, that was beyond Green's comprehension.

Flat areas gradually began to appear on the ground, as if some giant had forcefully flattened the mountains and filled the ravines, and then carefully planted a lush patch of wizarding world plants.

A stream flows through the forest, and occasionally small creatures dart through it, leaving behind traces.

…………

Five days later.

Five interconnected mountain peaks floating high in the sky came into Green's view. The wizard in the bubble looked up and said, "This is the Heavenly Capital Peak Range."

Green also looked up. The bottom of this floating black mountain range was flat, forming a strange oval shape. The longest diameter was about 1,500 meters, and the width was about 600 or 700 meters. As for the height of this black mountain, it was about 700 or 800 meters.

Although the mountain peak is not particularly majestic, it is quite magical that it can float in the sky.

correct!

Green suddenly remembered something; a few days ago, this wizard had said…

Rumble!

Suddenly, a sound of rocks grinding came from below the black mountain covered with lush green vegetation. As Green watched in astonishment, a black head, resembling an ancient, solid rock, slowly emerged from the bottom of the mountain. The head slowly opened its black rocky eyelids, and a murky, dim gaze fell upon the bubble where Green was.

The eyes were enormous, almost bigger than the bubble Green was in.

"Lord Tiandu Peak, he is one of the top wizard apprentices of this year. I am here on the orders of the Seventh Ring Envoy," the wizard in the bubble shouted.

Rumble!

The head of the Tiandu Peak retracted into its body once more, and a deep voice came: "Understood."

At the wizard's prompting, Green left the bubble and flew towards the top of the Tian Du Peak, muttering to himself, "The so-called Tian Du Peak is actually a giant rock tortoise? No wonder a creature of that size..."
