Chapter 368 - Mythical Arcanist
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I’m just stopping by to check on you and to ask if you have rediscovered the meaning of your life? For mythical lives, immortality is just the beginning! Not the end!” Lu Zhiyu said. He was standing on the branches of the farmer treant in the brilliant sunshine of the sunflower field, facing the giant shadow of the female fairy made of wind.
As he said that, Lu Zhiyu departed. This time, he took the train out of Fhartasil traveling to the outside world. The red train dashed across the water, the blue sky and clouds reflected on the water’s surface. It was like the train was traveling through the sky.
Passing through the defensive region formed by the boundary and the arcane reality projection, the train reached the outside world and continued to travel somewhere distant through a dense forest.
As time flew by, ancient stories turned into legends, legends turned into myths, ancient figures turned into heroes, and heroes turned into gods. Wendy would be the god of fairies and the arcane kingdom. Everything about her would one day become legend and myth.
As for Fairyland Fhartasil, it had truly transformed into a legendary dreamland for fairies and other races. According to the legend, there was a fairy queen, Wendy. When a fairy arcanist passed away, their soul would be summoned to Fhartasil, returned to the fairyland in the legend.
“It’s a mythical territory, a dreamland created by the fairy queen Wendy! There live the souls of the ancestors of fairies, as well as the most powerful arcanists! It’s a place with no pain or worries, a home for the soul, which all fairies long for.”
With the rise of mythical arcanists and Fairyland Fhartasil, the fairy arcane kingdom stepped into a new age. The fairy arcanists never saw the impact of the world force repelling, as Wendy was the first fairy to become a mythical arcanist.
Because no great fairy arcanists knew how fairy queen Wendy had succeeded, the details of the fairy queen becoming the first great arcanist were not clearly recorded in the arcane kingdom’s history. Even so, all arcanists understood that it was not possible to build an arcane territory inside the world.
“We could never possess enough power to challenge the entire world. Even a level-eight true god can not fight against the entire world.”–Minette Ambrose, the second mythical arcanist.
Later, to explore new paths to become mythical arcanists, fairy arcanists started to explore beyond the world and attempted to construct their own mythical arcane territories outside the world.
Fairy arcanists began to explore the bitwall and the astral world. They attempted to absorb and summon the power of the astral world in the bitwall and construct their own mythical territories gradually.
Prior to the beginning of the Bitwall Age, humans entered the era of astral world exploration, the era during which wizards and arcanists mastered the techniques behind crafting unstable portals.
Fairy arcanists had truly started to rise. They discovered that all kinds of special half bitwalls existed in the astral world. With chaotic and dangerous internal rules, these half bitwalls were extremely unstable, offering no possibility to nurture normal lives within them.
However, for fairy arcanists, these half bitwalls felt almost designed for them. The paths to challenging and conquering these half bitwalls were also the paths for them to succeed in becoming mythical arcanists.
At the beginning of the Bitwall Age, the arcane kingdom, the Wizard Alliance, and the clergy in the divine kingdoms of Maria’s World were all competing to explore the astral world. They used a kind of special bitwall probe, simple space witchcraft, to find and lock onto a half bitwall in the vast astral world.
To find a half bitwall in the boundless astral world using such rudimentary space witchcraft was even harder than trying to find one particular grain of sand in the ocean. Nevertheless, there were always a lucky few who were favored by fortune and hit the jackpot in the vast astral world.
With the discovery of each half bitwall, arcanists, wizards, and clergy fought, even battled for the half bitwall. Fighting over half bitwalls was the theme of the beginning of the Bitwall Age.
However, that was all for later. For now, most saints and supernatural creatures were still trapped within the world and could hardly challenge or explore the bitwall.

“This is our mission for the next decade or even century. A floating space tower is, by definition, the simplified version of the floating space city, which is the ultimate goal of alchemy. However, by using the techniques for building a floating space tower, we could remove a key obstacle in the path of alchemy. It is a stepping stone leading us to the ultimate goal of alchemy!” said Cook Bay.
Cook Bay waved his hands and many pieces of chalks drew out the graph he described on six blackboards. It was a simplified design of a floating space tower.

Wizards and dwarf alchemy warlocks seated before the stage looked up at the green-skinned goblin in disbelief. The goblin did not look worthy of the wizard robes he was wearing, yet the design and knowledge he demonstrated were mind-blowing.
“How is this even possible? Creating a floating space tower like this would be impossible!” said a young human alchemy warlock. He was so lost in thoughts about the intricate designs on the blackboards before him that he didn’t realize he had dropped his giant book on the ground.
“Liar! Definitely a liar!”
Many of the alchemy warlocks simply did not believe him at all. Such an unimaginable invention was fully planned out in front of them. They had believed that this kind of advancement would not be seen in their lifetimes or in the lifetimes of future generations of wizards.
“But he is the floating space tower designer appointed by Lady Catherine herself! He has the approval of Lady Catherine!”
The crowd was engaged in a heated discussion. Most were studying the design covering the six blackboards, raising doubts and trying to identify deadly flaws in the plans.
“Didn’t the great alchemy warlock, Oakland, prophesy that wizards would only successfully build floating space towers after at least a thousand years? Goblins’ talents in alchemy should not be overlooked. More and more genius goblin alchemy warlocks have come to prominence lately. Maybe we need to consider truly accepting them,” said an aged wizard.
The aged wizard put his glasses on and took a closer look at the blackboards. The pen in front of him was taking notes of the drawings on the blackboards automatically. Although it was a simplified design, and it was impossible to build a floating space tower from it alone, there were no problems at all with Cook Bay’s theory.
“What a shame! The first floating space tower of wizards would be built by a goblin when the tall tower symbolizes wizards? I cannot accept this!” The young human warlocks were gnashing their teeth over it.
In the lecture hall in the tall tower, Cook Bay explained the details of constructing this new tower to all the alchemy warlocks. He had stayed in the Forest of Fairies for half a year and then spent two years reading the books Lu Zhiyu left behind, finally returning to the tall tower on the wizard continent to meet with the owner of the wizard tower, Catherine.
After becoming a mythical wizard, Catherine gained a new title, Forest Fairy Catherine. She appointed Cook Bay as the lead designer of the new tower, a floating space tower. His proposed design would become the new kind of wizard tower.
The wizard tower was the symbol of wizardry and what held the Wizard Alliance together. Therefore, the first floating space tower had to be a wizard tower. Even if the appearance was different, it had to be a wizard tower. It would be the inheritance of all wizards.
The great alchemy warlock, Oakland, who was sitting in the front row, was the one who had prophesied that no one could possibly build a floating space tower in the next thousand years. He stood up and raised his question to Cook Bay, “Excuse me. Your theories are indeed fine. The construction of the mana pool and the design of the level-seven mythical alchemy floating space tower are not perfect. Still, they can be constructed and I do approve of them. But the levitation ring? Heh, can you actually build that? Does it really exist?”
Cook Bay straightened up and answered, “Most certainly! However, it was not designed by me, but by a great alchemy warlock who is wiser than I ever could imagine, the great Mr. Randil Eranbell. He taught me how to design a levitation ring and asked me to build a floating space tower.”
Cook Bay’s eyes were filled with sincerity and he continued, “He is a great alchemy warlock. Not only did he teach me how to build a floating space tower, but he also showed me the application of portals.”
“Impossible! Portals? That’s another ultimate goal of alchemy. Together with the floating space city and intelligent alchemy life, they are the three ultimate goals of alchemy!”
“Randil Eranbell? That’s a human name. Why have I never heard about this wizard?”
“Maybe he is a hidden first-generation wizard, who came here from the birthplace of wizards and experienced the exploration ages,” two female wizards suggested, showing respect and yearning in their eyes.
“Of course this is the work of a human alchemy warlock! What a great man! It is because of these great wizards that all wizards can live long and prosper!” said Oakland, accepting Cook Bay’s story. He then nodded with satisfaction and sat down.
The crowd broke into another round of heated discussion. No one in the room had ever heard the name Randil Eranbell. But when they heard the name, the resistance in their eyes faded. The design of the floating space tower came from the hand of a mysterious and powerful human wizard. However, their jealousy grew much stronger.
“Why am I not the lucky dog?”
“Why would the great Randil Eranbell choose a goblin to build the floating space tower?”
“Are there no other qualified candidates among wizard alchemy warlocks? We need to work harder so that these goblin alchemy warlocks will not stay ahead of us. We are the best alchemy warlocks!”
