Witch, don't be so lazy

It cannot be said that they are all human, because there are some other species, such as fishmen, moving seaweed, clams, cat girls, well-dressed jackals, graceful flower fairies... It is really eye-opening.

The gangway was full of passengers, some looking around, some walking with their heads down, and most of them carrying large and small bags, slowly pouring into their respective airships.

Some of them were heading to other first- and second-tier cities in the North, and some were even heading abroad, such as the Cloud City and several major cities in the Phoenix Flower Kingdom.

I heard that they are planning to take an ultra-long-distance flight route with the elves recently. The journey may take more than two months, flying directly to the elven capital "Eluidemir" and the trade forest "Dunomamir".

Don’t ask how Encore knew about it, because there was a huge projection next to the platform, on which the host was reading out the news, local, northern, and foreign news.

It’s so outrageous.

She now finally understood how... appropriate Black Rock City's other nickname, the City of Alchemy, was.

"We've caught up. There's still one day and eight hours left to start."

Momo glanced ahead and patted her slightly larger chest in relief.

"Oh, Momo is going to run something. Xiao Anke can take the statue and walk around. Just don't be stupid enough to jump off from here, and you'll be fine in Black Rock City. Or you can go to the VIP waiting area. Your identity information has been entered, so just go there. You can meet your classmates there in advance, although you can also meet them in the car. Bye~"

After stuffing a familiar little statue into her mouth, Momo disappeared.

Only Encore was left confused.

It's hard to say whether he was careless enough to let a fourteen-year-old girl stay in a completely unfamiliar and crowded place, or whether he was absolutely confident in his heart as the eldest daughter of Black Rock City... Maybe it was a bit of both.

After all, she is not an ordinary person. She is a second-level mage after all. Even in a place like Black Rock City, she has some strength. Not to mention an entire block, she can at least be the strongest person on a certain street.

After waiting for a while, Anke used the "Eye of Judgment" to observe carefully.

It was discovered that almost everyone on the platform had magical powers. There were few apprentices, and the most common were first-level mages. There were fewer second-level mages, and third-level mages were even rarer. They were mainly managers and golems responsible for security. The passengers seemed to have only seen two of them, and there were special people to greet them.

Tsk tsk.

It seems that the mage's rank is indeed quite valuable. No matter where you go, your own strength is very important.

If you are strong enough, even your enemies will respect you.

An Ke reminded herself in her heart that she should not indulge in pleasure and should work hard, as Tower Academy was just a new journey.

As for the so-called waiting area, Anke took a look.

There are two, upper and lower floors.

The area below is like a living square, filled with all kinds of buildings, from taverns to the strongholds of the four major guilds, with everything available. There are also a number of specialty shops and meditation rooms, and the facilities are very complete.

Due to design reasons, only the side part can be seen in the upper part. There are obviously fewer people, and the decoration style is more exquisite and luxurious, but there are many more waiters waiting than in the lower part.

It goes without saying which one is the VIP area.

Looking closely, it seemed that there were a few first-level young mages with somewhat rustic clothes standing by the window, looking around with an "Oh wow" expression on their faces. I don't know if they were my classmates at the Tower Academy.

The main reason is that Pandgar also has a top-level institution - the Royal Academy. Xiao Hui said that Her Majesty the Golden Witch is still very wealthy and has booked Skyrail tickets for freshmen. However, I heard that they are divided into different levels. Only those with excellent scores in the magic exam are VIPs, and the others can only get ordinary tickets.

There is really a clear hierarchy.

An Ke felt a little emotional.

She actually wanted to stroll around casually. Although time was limited, at least she could get a brief taste of the Black Rock City.

but.

There seem to be more important things at the moment.

An Ke didn't need to look down, she could feel that the pendant hanging on her chest was getting hot, and it pointed her in the right direction.

The mark of the boat!

That’s right, now that we’ve arrived at Black Rock City, according to Bro No. 6, we can already find a place to enter the [Ship of the Other World]!

The first task, completing the magic qualification exam, has been completed.

Anko couldn't wait to get into it.

Getting the reward quickly is only one aspect; the key is to look at the tasks released later.

She was not a task expert, but she wanted to take this opportunity to get a glimpse of the "Almighty Man's" attitude towards her and what arrangements he planned to make for her in the future.

This is the key that will truly influence how she behaves in the Tower Academy.

set off!

Wow, let me think of an excuse, maybe this is the morning of the lucky calendar?

Then I think there will be more tomorrow morning!

Chapter 13: Respective Missions (7101)

The legendary wizard created something even more magical than you could imagine.

It was clear from the perception of the boat mark that the place was very far away, but before An Ke had taken a few steps, she was surprised to find that the thing suddenly ran towards her.

Although it was not on the highest aviation platform, it was still inside the same building, and in the living area on the lower level.

The entrance can still move?

Could it be some living thing?

An Ke couldn't help but wonder in her heart for a while, but there was no need to worry about it, because she would see him soon anyway.

So, following her mysterious perception, she soon arrived at her destination. Then she looked blankly at the surging crowd and scene ahead, and fell into deep thought.

It was a bustling sculpture gallery.

The silver dome, carved bricks and stones, statues on display in the middle, and souvenir shops on both sides, the venue was packed with tourists everywhere, making it impossible to get through.

The souvenirs are quite common, such as tin bookmarks, Cyclops dolls, ice rabbits that can breathe cold air... The most popular item is of course the starry sky crystal ball.

Customers from the Southern Continent like to buy this stuff in the North the most, thinking that the quality of products in the birthplace of the astrology school must be better. But in fact, Black Rock City has a trade cooperation with the Phoenix Kingdom, and those sold there and here are likely to be products from the same assembly line.

Although the venue sells some expensive fashionable junk, it sometimes becomes more interesting when combined with the identity of the buyers.

For example, a real skeleton, whose magic power was still at the old second level, bought a dancing skeleton keychain, which made Anke inexplicably at a loss.

But the staff were very calm, obviously they had seen a lot of this. They still had warm smiles on their faces, which did not change because the other party was an undead creature. They also diligently helped to hang the key chain on the index finger joint of the skeleton.

Rather than souvenirs, more people gathered around to watch the statues on display. Those were also alchemical creations, with their own light and shadow effects, and they could move.

The statues on display were all Northern legends, or participants in the Council of the Tower. There was no noble Lady Adela, and they were only represented by the night sky dome above and the curtain of falling stars.

For most creatures, this may be one of the few ways for them to see the image of a legendary spellcaster.

It was also the first time for Anke to see the complete statues of the legends of the North throughout the ages, rather than the simple illustrations in the school.

The one at the front is the chief "Tower Spirit", or the second-generation "Tower Sage", a man in a grey cloak standing under a tall white tower, with no discernible gender or extra features.

The second seat held the Golden Witch, who sat on a luxurious golden throne, arms crossed and legs crossed. The sculpture must have been made of pure gold, so bright and shiny that it could blind people. Unfortunately, I don't know if it was intentional, but although her proud figure could be seen, her face was unclear.

The statue of the Sea Witch is made of crystal, sparkling and translucent. It shows a thin woman carrying people on her back, standing on the crest of the waves. The shadow of the water below outlines a giant, symbolizing the defeat of Leviathan, the "sea monster";

The Skyland Traveler is an ordinary traveler, dusty and exhausted, with ice and dust traced on the edges of his cloak. He holds a hiking stick in his hand, and behind him is a giant feathered serpent with its wings spread, representing that he is the descendant of the legendary Warcraft beast "Skyland Feathered Serpent".

The statue of the Earth Guardian is an old man deep in thought, sitting on a stone with white hair and a beard long enough to reach the ground. In front of him are a bunch of palm-sized monster dolls looking up at him. They are all members of the Southern Monster Alliance back then, led by a Cyclops. The meaning behind this is self-explanatory.

The Bone Witch is also sitting, but her image is a skeleton, and the seat is also made of piled bones. Fortunately, the color is all pale white instead of bright red, otherwise it will always make people hallucinate "blood sacrifice to the blood god, skull sacrifice to the skull throne".

As for the Almighty Man, his style is also very unique. He is the only one in the statue whose face can be clearly seen.

A typical image of a romantic wizard, with a handsome face, a bohemian open-collared satin robe, a snow rose pinned behind his ear, lying on his side, supporting his head with one hand and holding a book in the other.

It's interesting to say.

The faces of the other legends, whether in books, statues, or photo stones, are all blurred. As far as Anke knows, only the deceased Sage of Steel and Sage of Flowers have revealed their true appearances. The former's image is similar to the projection of the "magician" in Fairy Tale Island.

If you combine this with the area that China is in charge of, it becomes very interesting.

He was clearly in charge of intelligence work and could be considered the chief of the Northern spies, but he seemed to be the most open-minded person in the legend.

Could it be that he was using a fake face in order to mislead others?

The Flower Sage is a beautiful and graceful woman. She lies in a sea of ​​blooming flowers. Her face looks a bit like Sineve, but unlike the socially anxious fungus, she has a crown-like bud on her head instead of a mushroom cap.

Did the creator make a mistake? Or did Her Majesty Secinica really have this look?

An Ke looked around and couldn't help muttering in her heart.

As for the fact that she looked similar to Sineve, she didn't find it strange at all. After all, she was a descendant, so it was normal.

What really made her feel strange was that there were ten statues in the venue, but one of them looked extremely strange.

First of all, it was almost ignored by all living things. The venue was obviously packed with people, and there were several circles of tourists surrounding the statue on display. But even if they stood right in front of it, no one's eyes would fall on it. It was not that they couldn't see it, but more like they subconsciously ignored and forgot it, and they saw it but didn't care.

No matter whether they were apprentices or high-ranking spellcasters, they all ignored its existence.

It's just like a "ghost".

In fact.

An Ke almost didn't react. She just vaguely felt that something was wrong. She always felt that there seemed to be something extra in those statues, and something seemed to be missing in the legends.

Until one moment, it seemed as if the fragments in her mind were connected, and she stared blankly at the special statue.

The purple-haired girl tilted her head back, her waist-length hair like a waterfall, a beautiful butterfly resting on her fingertips, and she sat barefoot on a rock. The scene looked like a hot spring or a riverbank, with white mist all around.

It is worth noting that the light and shadow effects of this statue are relatively poor. It seems that it has not been maintained or updated for many years rather than being intentional.

This is... the sixth seat?

Anke suddenly thought of the most mysterious legend in the Tower Council. Not only had he not been introduced in school, but he had rarely been talked about in daily life, and even his nickname and name were unknown.

The only time seemed to be when the old man was introducing the Evening Star. He said that although the tower was built late, it did have some connections with the Old Empire and also had some things related to Edgar, mainly related to the Sixth Seat.

Subconsciously, Anke began to look at the sign in front of the statue, where the nicknames and names of the legends were usually written.

But something very strange happened.

There was indeed a sign in front of the purple-haired girl, and An was probably 100% sure that there was writing on it, in the common language, but she couldn't recognize it.

The most bizarre thing was that she vaguely knew in her heart that it was not an uncommon character. She had definitely learned it and she definitely recognized it.

But at this moment, when she looked at the words, or rather, tried to connect the words with the girl, she became an innocent Gaga, unable to read a single word.

hiss.

Noticing the strange situation, Miss Anke couldn't help but take a deep breath, wondering how much it contributed to the warming of the current world.

Of course, she didn't give up and tried to ask the staff.

"Excuse me, do you know anything about that statue? The purple-haired girl, right between the statues of His Majesty China and His Majesty Kumo. Can you see it?"

An Ke did not try to conceal his magic power, and the aura of a second-level wizard was revealed. The people who had gathered in front of the counter wisely moved aside.

Except for the skeleton, it had already bought everything. However, it noticed Anke's age and paid attention to her words. It was about to leave, but stopped and turned its head along with the staff.

"Of course I can see it. You mean—"

The enthusiastic staff member looked up, then hesitated. "Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly. Do you want me to introduce you to the Honorable Sage of the Earth, or His Majesty the Almighty?"

Rather than the Guardian of the Earth, the Black Rock City seems to be more accustomed to calling Kumo the Sage.

Not only the staff, but also other passengers, including the second-level skeleton, heard Anke's voice, and many of them turned their heads subconsciously.

They were mainly curious about how a second-level young wizard could not recognize the legend of the tower. Even if he came from other countries, he must have done some research before and during the trip.

His Majesty Qina is a versatile person, and he is also the leader of the Adventurer's Watch Corps. He is well-known throughout the world; not to mention His Majesty Kumo, how can you not know him after arriving in Black Rock City?

"······No, I'm talking about that one, the ·····"

An Ke was about to answer, but the words suddenly stopped at her lips because she couldn't remember what she was going to say.

It was not until her eyes wandered blankly among the sculptures and swept across the image of the purple-haired girl that she finally came to her senses.

My heart was filled with astonishment.

Because she couldn't remember anything in such a short time, she didn't think she had Alzheimer's disease at such a young age.

What made her even more confused was that the Moon Snow Owl's talent was not triggered.

Tongbao didn't react at all... No, maybe he could sense the abnormality, and this was the result after the correction.

If you think about it carefully, this is a bit too scary.

It has affected the entire northern border, and even the southern continent may not be able to escape it. How did they do it?
