Wizard's Journey

Chapter 145 Three Capitals Peak

At the Three Capitals Peak, Green fell.

Beneath our feet was a layer of black soil, which showed obvious signs of human intervention. It seemed to be formed by softening and pulverizing the incredibly solid black rocks of the mountain peaks, and then mixing them with certain life elements, earth elements, water elements, and some rare elements.

Only in this way can the plants and flowers of these wizarding worlds grow luxuriantly.

After giving a cursory glance at his temporary lodgings for the next few months, Green silently walked toward the flower garden castle before him.

The interior is decorated in a simple yet elegant style. The hall, which is more than ten meters high, is spacious and bright. A huge magic chandelier hangs in the center of the hall, and a winding staircase leads to the top floor of the castle.

"Master, what service do you require?" A mechanical voice came from a mechanical puppet shaped like an old butler, with a pair of lifelike eyes.

Grimm glanced at the puppet with slight surprise, then at the several blank-faced maid puppets behind the old butler, and asked, "Are you an intelligent puppet?"

So-called intelligent puppets are puppets with normal biological thinking created by mechanical wizards by combining some of the soul technologies of dark wizards, using the souls of some demi-humans or humanoid creatures from other worlds and putting them into certain precious magical materials, and then going through some extremely complex special processes.

According to some mechanical wizards, in some respects, this advanced puppet should also be considered an incomplete life form.

"Yes, you may call me Three Finger Mountain, or whatever else you prefer. For the next seven months, until you leave, I will be responsible for serving your daily needs and fulfilling all your requirements," the old butler said respectfully, bowing deeply.

Can it satisfy all needs?

Green suddenly said, "Then, take me to the food storage area here first."

"Uh..." The old butler shook his head and said, "The food reserves are all sealed within my body. Although I can't take you to see them, I can give you a report."

Uh?

Green was taken aback, then realized what he meant and exclaimed in surprise, "You're actually a spatial storage magical artifact?"

The old butler nodded and said, "That's one way to put it."

As Green casually walked from the second-floor attic of the castle to the upper floors, he listened to the old butler report on the food reserves and other service functions stored in his body.

After about half an hourglass period.

Green arrived at the top floor of the castle, a room set up to resemble the environment of the wizarding world, where magic lamps replaced the natural light of the wizarding world.

Turning around, Green listened to the old steward's report, which lasted for half an hourglass, then walked to the brightly lit table, sat down, picked up a quill pen, and carefully selected some ingredient combinations on a piece of white paper while thinking. He said, "Spin the paper every ten days and use the combinations from this list."

The old butler picked up the paper Green handed him, glanced at it, and agreed, "I will meet your needs and orders."

"Um."

After Green acknowledged, he added, "For the next few months, spend a quarter of the hourglass time each night explaining to me the distribution and structure of the Seventh Ring World, as well as the major historical events, recent developments, and the rules and procedures for wars to develop new worlds. Also, this room will be my private room; no one may enter without my permission."

"As you wish," the old butler replied in a mechanical voice.

After nodding and gesturing for the old butler to leave, the room fell silent.

After standing upright and thinking for a while, Green seemed to have made some plans. He first took off his heavy three-piece armor and pale mask, and then put on a loose wizard's robe.

After Green channeled his magic into the spatial pocket, it made a crisp sound like glass shattering, and a large pile of magical materials and items tumbled out of the pocket.

After storing the temporarily useless items into another storage pocket, several more items appeared on Green's lab table.

The first thing is the "Devil's Contract" that Grimm once obtained by deceiving the otherworldly creature, the God of Dark Annihilation.

After Green tricked his way into obtaining the devil's contract, his primary purpose was to obtain the "introduction" in the contract. However, through some preliminary research, Green discovered that the text on the contract also contained some strange elements.

This script seemed to be an application of some kind of spiritual rule. Although Green had never seen this script before, he strangely understood its contents completely. It was as if this script was a symbol born from a spiritual rule that perfectly matched the spiritual level, belonging to a unique regional civilization of the spiritual realm in another world.

Previously, Green's knowledge of the soul as a wizard apprentice might not have been enough to delve deeper into its study, but after Green advanced to become a full wizard, with certain qualitative changes in the soul, he might be able to unravel its mysteries.

The second item is a scroll, the Endless Eye Knowledge Scroll that Peranos passed down to Grin.

If Grimm wants to refine the "Face of Truth" he envisions, and after more than ten years of honing his alchemy skills, he might be able to attempt to independently refine the prototype of the Face of Truth, the Pale Mask, using top-tier alchemy material, Alien Essence.

Once Grimm has finished refining the prototype of the Face of Truth, the Endless Eye, which is composed of the Eye of Boundless and the Eye of Darkness, will be refined into the Face of Truth one by one. After that, the Eagle Eye Technique, which Grimm can easily access, and the Eye of Conspicuousness, which he desires most, will also be added.

As for Eagle Eye, a popular sorcery similar to Fireball, Green could easily acquire the relevant knowledge.

However, the Microscopic Eye can only be obtained from the Sky City after acquiring the method for making a microscope, and then a way can be found to incorporate it into the Surface of Truth. This may involve some mechanical knowledge, and it's possible that it will be a long time before Grimm can achieve the crafting and fusion of the Microscopic Eye.

but……

When Grimm refines the Eye of Endless into the Surface of Truth, the speed at which his soul accepts the strange lightning patterns constantly emerging from the two broken branches will undergo a qualitative change. Perhaps he will discover some secrets within decades or centuries.

Of course, before he becomes a formal wizard and controls the power of nature, Grimm will never try to understand these lightning patterns too deeply, otherwise, a special lightning rule might descend at any time and blast Grimm into dust.

The third thing is those two broken branches, I won't go into details about that.

The fourth item was the Golden Ginseng, which had fallen into some kind of "hibernation" state and was snoring loudly, occasionally kicking its hind legs and drooling a little before it was sucked back in. Green thought for a moment, and finally put the black cloth covering the vessel down, restoring the vessel to its original darkness.

The fifth item was a handkerchief embroidered with a parrot, which was very lifelike.

Green looked on with great interest, swinging the handkerchief back and forth. But no matter how Green swung it, the parrot's eyes on the handkerchief remained fixed on him, as if he were a guiding light in some dark ocean.

A gap in communication dimensions?

Suddenly, Green laid the handkerchief flat on the table, took out a pair of tweezers and a fine needle, and began to unravel the threads around the edges of the handkerchief...

After studying it for a while without any results, Grimm shook his head, put the handkerchief aside, and looked at the small bottle of grayish-white top-grade alchemical material, Alien Marrow, and the scribbled notes on the Pale Mask. There was also a "Grimm Elemental Great Staff 1.0 Official Version" that Grimm had once spent some time refining.

Finally, on the edge of the table was another of Green's notebooks, which recorded some of his thoughts on the properties of annihilation.

time flies.

And so, Green silently studied the mysteries of knowledge on the Three Peaks of the Tiandu Mountains, seemingly forgetting time and place, immersing himself completely in it. Only the sounds of the monthly battle between Hellro and Nairo in the valley and the sky reminded Green of his location.

The five peaks of the Tiandu Peak Range, though without any particular significance, are named Dadu Peak, Erdu Peak, Sandu Peak, Sidu Peak, and Xiaodu Peak due to their varying heights. Each peak is also inhabited by a top-tier wizard apprentice from a different regional faction.

For some wizard apprentices, given their limited years of experience, vying for the prime location of their dwelling is akin to vying for the title of one of the top ten masters in the Dark Wizard Academy—it seems to be a symbol of their status and position.

However, these wizarding apprentices were unaware that the identity and status of a witch hunter were never obtained through fighting alongside other humans in the wizarding world. This was one of the essential differences between witch hunters and arcane wizards, or even dark wizards.

Moreover, as the witcher's vision broadened, allowing them to look up at the higher skies and down at the more expansive land, they came to understand their own insignificance and true status, and the so-called title became merely a code name.

At this moment, for some top wizard apprentices, this seems to be the satisfaction of fulfilling their dreams, enjoying the fruits of their wizard apprenticeship, and demonstrating their power.

However, for some wizarding apprentices, they silently looked towards that new beginning with longing eyes.

This new beginning is a journey for the wizard.
