Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Above the Sea of Titan, a large number of steel-made alchemy vessels above the sea were burning with blazing fire and black smoke. They opened fire with artillery and shot at each other, causing a series of clicking sound. Bombing Airships in the sky dumped bombs continuously and bombarded ships above the sea.
Battle Airships in the sky were chasing each other. The flames and clicking sound from the Steam Gatling Guns made everyone feel the sense of rhythm of a fierce battlefield. From time to time, Battle Airships were hit and fell down high from the clouds.
At the same time, there were a large number of Troll Blood Warlocks incarnating as monsters in the sky, they attacked each other or destroyed each other’s airships. On the airships, there were also professionals on both sides who released combined witchcraft or large-scale arcane magic, as a result it had burned the whole sea into a sea of fire which eventually patches and patches of sea evaporated.
Several Level Five elves could even be seen running with their Ancient War Trees on the surface of the sea. They fought with the high-ranking alchemy warlocks who sat on Steam Alchemy Dolls more than ten meters tall. Those Alchemy Dolls, when they moved a leg or raised a leg, it would set off huge waves and they could easily jumped over supernatural spiritual light spanning hundreds of meters.
Over the sea, there was the battling and bombardment scene between the witchcraft from the Wizard Alliance and the arcane magic of the Arcane Kingdom, as if they had torn the vast sea into halves.
In that moment, a magnificent and classical Floating-Space Tower crossed the sky, its grand witchcraft boundary brought upon an enormous blast and turbulence, which caused people within ten miles to lie on the ground and block their ears.
“This is the border of the Arcane Kingdom!”
“Stop advancing, Job. Your Floating-Space Tower isn’t allowed to cross the border. Otherwise, it’ll be regarded as a declaration of war against the Arcane Kingdom.”
“Stop! Job!”
Within the bitwall, there came a bubble with the presence of a colorful arcane boundary. Through the bubble, castle, land, garden, fairies and elves could be seen.
The Philosopher Tower of the Floating-Space Towers had no intention of staying put at all. The Fairyland of Elves in the sky immediately emitted a colorful radiance. Its entire body emitted an intense brilliance which stimulated the power of the surrounding elements, it then transformed into a thunderbolt which span over heaven and earth; it struck down from the sky.
The thunderbolt which spanned over thousands of meters instantly illuminated the entire world, and it turned the sea and sky into a blaze. The network of thunder and lightning covered the entire sea and sky. And right in the middle of the network, it was the Philosopher Tower of the Wizard Alliance belonged to the mythical wizard, Job.
The Philosopher Tower immediately activated its witchcraft boundary with all its strength, but it was still penetrated by thunder and lightning; it invaded the interior of the Elemental Tower. A series of lightning shuttled back and forth the witchcraft boundary and inside the Floating-Space Tower. Some hapless people in the tower were hit by thunder and lightning were instantly turned into a mass of ash.
The whole Philosopher Tower trembled violently, and the witchcraft boundary looked like it was about to burst from the overwhelming attacks. Its operations which were originally moving at high-speed stopped immediately; even the Floating-Space Ring was affected, it almost dropped directly into the sea.
“How dare you! Mientte Ambrose!”
There was a roar inside the Philosopher Tower, it then turned and changed its direction. More than ten of the Annihilation Elemental Artilleries were activated at the same time; it caused a brilliant pillar of light to bolt through the sky and clouds. It bombarded the bitwall. It was obviously inching closer and closer to the core world of the Fairyland of Elves.
While the battle between the two sides was fierce, the battle under was gradually coming to an end. The Philosopher Tower penetrated the nearest bitwall, it was chasing Mientte Ambrose in the direction of Fairyland of Elves, and they started a series of pursuits in the bitwall.
Since the upgrade of space exploration technology, the improvement of space anchoring and technology of portal, the Level Seven mythical wizard finally dared to step into the shallow layer of the bitwall, without fear of being lost in the space maze, but they still dared not go deeper into the exploration of the bitwall.
Spatial faults and storms that occurred from time to time in the inner layers were something that a Level Seven mythical wizard and Floating-Space Tower couldn’t endure.
Although Job and Mientte Ambrose were fighting profusely, both sides knew that the battle was over and that the ship that escaped from the Titan Continent had penetrated into the territory of the Arcane Kingdom and had disappeared. Job was just venting his anger at the moment.
Mientte Ambrose knew it too, so he wasn’t too serious in their fight. He fled while returning fire. Job spent a day of chase with Mientte in the bitwall, he gave up and returned to the core world of the Wizard Continent.
————————————————
Muriel, the fairy Summoner, was very nervous about traveling on a steam train across the Fairy Continent. Although Muriel was a fairy, she had never been to the Fairy Continent. That was a continent that the fairies occupied when they joined the Arcane Kingdom 700 years ago, then they renamed it, but the origin of the fairies was still the Titan Continent.
And she was a fellow who grew up in the Wizard Continent. She was different from ordinary fairies. To be exact, her personality was more like a... goblin!
Her greed for money had become her instinct. Her hobby was taking petty advantage of others. She was a Summoner but she would sometimes cheat someone out of their money by pretending to be a Diviner; there were similar characteristics between the Summoner and the Diviner. She didn’t possess the diligence and kindness of the fairies, if she could sit, she would never stand. She thought of countless ways to be gluttonous and lazy all day.
But this time, she had found a way of making a big fortune; she once again assembled enough materials for another summon of creatures from another world; unexpectedly she had discovered a big one.
“I’m going rich this time! Loaded! Filthy rich!”
Muriel felt that the wizard coins seemed to fall from the sky continuously, with a body of only 20 cm long; she flew in the train carriage with fluorescence, as if she had felt the taste of the rain of the wizard coins.
Mientte Ambrose, the Mythical Arcanist, who sat beside her, looked at the fellow with an odd expression. To tell the truth, he had lived for a thousand years and had never seen such a fairy with no sense of shame.
“When you see Her Majesty, remember to pay attention to your etiquette and don’t talk about anything else, do you understand!”
“Of course, I can’t imagine that I’m about to see the emperor of the Arcane Kingdom, oh my god! This experience, I can brag for ten days and ten nights to the others!”
“By the way, white-bearded old elf, do you have any potent identity? In the future, when I talked about my legendary experience, I’ll publish a book and make a biography. Maybe I can also mention your name and make you famous!” Muriel flew and stopped in mid-air, hands in front of her chest, she looked at Mientte.
“...cough-cough! I don’t need that; I’m not a fan of undeserved reputation!”
“Ah! Your life is boring!”
The train passed through the Fairy Continent, they crossed the track built above the sea, and went through more than ten islands along the way; it ran all the way along the sea to Sylve Continent.
The steam train traveled all the way without stopping, they went through a dense forest, through an illusory space and gate, then they finally entered a magical kingdom.
The fairy Muriel was shocked to see the golden light scattered from the sky. Some of the blue lakes here were like gems; it could really reflect the scene from the sky. From a distance, they saw sunflower fields and wheat fields, as well as several tall farmer treants and elves riding horses.
In the distance, Ancient Tree of Fairies could be seen and there was a unique scent of magic plants which Muriel could feel from a distance.
And the most shocking scene was the Dream City in the central; Muriel was carried by the steam train which rapidly moved forward, she marveled at all she saw, and into the Fairyland City.
It was Muriel’s first time entering the city; she found that there were a lot of ghosts in the city. She met several ghosts in front of her in an instant, the ghosts gathered and dispersed like clouds; it passed through the body of a living person.
The city wasn’t as ancient as Muriel imagined, but a huge city similar to Wizard City. There were hundreds of meters tall of towers, highways and sky bridges in the sky, and an elegant and exquisite palace.
Mientte Ambrose took Muriel directly to the palace, which was high up in the center, clouds surrounded the palace. On top of the palace there was a garden, it looked as if it was floating in the sky.
By the time they entered, the hall was filled with the important figures of the Arcane Kingdom, they were unlike the old elf Mientte, they were dignified, majestic and superior; it made Muriel felt a little afraid.
“Her Majesty, this is Muriel. I’ve brought her here!”
Muriel saw Wendy sat high up on the throne and she saw the other high-ranking arcanists and fairies in the huge palace. She felt as if she had accidentally crashed into a temple and participated in a conference of the gods.
Wendy looked at fairy Muriel, “Hello, Muriel! Can you show us the existence of the Titan Continent in your communication?”
Muriel was suddenly full of courage, “No!”
Suddenly, there was uproar. Someone stood up and said, “I told you this is merely a trap. This time, because of her, we had torn the alliance between the Wizard Alliance!”
“How dare she lie to the Arcane Kingdom!”
“The liar must know the cost of cheating us!”
Just then, Mientte stood up and said, “Your Majesty, please allow her to explain!”
Wendy asked Muriel, “Why not?”
historical
“You haven’t paid yet,” Muriel exerted all her strength while speaking with her little chest bulging.
All of a sudden, the chaotic scene quieted down, and everyone looked at Muriel as they were incredibly surprise and astonished.
Mientte Ambrose was already prepared; he looked at Muriel and asked, “How much do you want? How about 100,000 standard Magic Crystals!”
Muriel stamped her foot at once and retorted, “100,000? How can 100,000 do it? I didn’t run so far to make that 100,000!”
Mientte Ambrose randomly spoke a number, for all the people present, money and ordinary Magic Crystals were completely meaningless to them; at least a large number of Elemental Magic Crystals would make them pay a little more attention.
“Then how much do you want!” Mientte asked.
“At least! At least 20,000 more!” Muriel popped out her finger in front of Wendy. She popped one finger out, then she felt that she was losing out thus she popped another out again. Her actions prompted Wendy, the Elf Queen, to laugh uncontrollably.
All the high-ranking members of the Arcane Kingdom in the temple laughed altogether, and Wendy, the Elf Queen, had a rare hearty laugh, she liked the fairy which was a little different.
Wendy stood up, held out her hand, and the light in her hand produced an Arcane Kingdom’s edict endorsed by her, “No problem, and we’ll also give you an aristocratic status in the Arcane Kingdom, a territory for your development, no citizens, you need to develop your own territory, and also I’ll give you a seed of the Ancient Tree of Fairies!”
“Seed of the... Ancient Tree of Fairies?”
Muriel felt that her chin had fallen off. The rest of the reward was of no big deal. But a seed of the Ancient Tree of Fairies was akin to a certification or proof for the fairy’s smooth progression to its advanced profession.
