Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Departure, Red Dragon
[Small Meteor Witchcraft (1.9+0.4 Rings) (Limit Break+0.1) (No Two Rings Witchcraft Position, Unable to Advance)]
"8.33 million charge points still aren’t enough for a second limit break?"
Lor searched for a long time and still couldn’t find the three words (can break limit), which made him twitch at the corner of his mouth, "It’s truly ridiculously expensive."
If he could only break the limit once, his Small Meteor Witchcraft combined with Gravity Technique’s additional enhancement would at most reach only 2.5 Rings.
Although being able to perform witchcraft at 1 Ring that reaches the power of 2.5 Rings is already quite outrageous.
But people, after all, are never satisfied.
"This time out to sea, I need to find a way to get some good stuff, can’t just head straight to the Betula Continent," Lor thought to himself.
Right now, his savings are only 970,000 Magic Crystals, 8.33 million charge points, and 30,000 contribution points.
If he doesn’t find some good stuff to trade for contribution points, the next research on the Betula Continent can’t even begin.
There are many good things in the sea, but they’re not easy to get, so Lor spent these days planning carefully.
...
Time flew by, and seven days passed.
Lor, along with Agular, Kateya, and Levan, walked out of the Nelson Wizard Tower.
They entered the spaceship docking area, found the Black Cliff Spaceship, and all flew inside.
Standing on the second level of the spaceship, Lor glanced deeply at the Wizard Tower he had lived in for years, feeling a bit depressed.
Once he left, he could never come back, and some familiar faces would also disappear henceforth.
"With my current ability, this is all I can do."
Lor sighed, his fingertips released a slight bit of Earth and Fire Elements to control the spaceship to take off, heading directly north.
He was heading to the Betula Continent, bringing Agular and Kateya was reasonable, one being a mentor ensuring safety, the other an experiment assistant.
But if he were to take all his acquaintances, the Wizard Alliance would surely identify him during post-event reviews.
If by then he had become a Fourth Ring Spatial Mage, it would be fine, but if not, it would be a real hassle.
Lor didn’t think himself great enough to risk his life to save a few acquaintances.
...
The spaceship flew north for five days, and Lor occasionally activated the Scenic View Magic Array, witnessing many strange landscapes.
For instance, a peculiar tree towering thousands of meters in a forest.
Bearing many red fruits on that tree, called Cui Fruit, which is the raw material for Talent Enhancement Potion, incredibly valuable.
Unfortunately, this thing already had an owner, the owner being the Tower Master of the Life Faction Wizard Tower, located 300 miles from that forest.
Or like a waterfall plunging down from a ten-thousand-meter cliff.
The waterfall’s imposing momentum and the sound it made during its descent could be heard by Lor even from a thousand meters up in the air, truly magnificent.
And now.
A Red Dragon, more than ten times the size of the spaceship, was hovering in the sky ahead, blocking the spaceship’s path.
Upon seeing the Red Dragon, Lor immediately gripped the Guardian Tree Scroll in his hand.
Judging by the size of this Red Dragon, it was definitely a fourth-tier level life form.
The gap between the third and fourth tiers was larger than the Celestial Abyss, and even Agular would have no power to resist this Red Dragon.
If not for it showing no signs of hostility, he would have torn the Guardian Tree Scroll long ago.
"Uncle Adams!" At that moment, from the ship’s hold below came Levan’s joyful shout, and in the next moment, he left the spaceship, flying towards the Red Dragon.
Hearing this shout, Lor breathed a sigh of relief, stowing the Guardian Tree Scroll back into his Space Ring.
On second thought, it made sense, being so close to Speaker Yasen’s Wizard Tower, how could there be any enemies?
"Little Levan, where have you been all these years?" Adams watched as Levan flew towards him, his voice thunderous.
"I’ve been studying with my mentor for the past three years," Levan said, pointing to the second level of the spaceship behind him.
The Red Dragon’s gaze swept past Lor, located on the second level of the spaceship, not lingering at all.
It did not believe that Lord Yasen would allow a One-Ring Wizard to be Levan’s mentor.
"Little Levan, you’ve pointed in the wrong direction, still as careless after all these years."
Its gaze eventually settled on Agular, located on the first level, grinning, "Hello, Wizard, I’m Levan’s uncle, Adams Mork..."
"Lord Adams, I am not Levan’s mentor," Agular shook his head, pointing up to Lor in the ship, "My student is."
"That’s right." Levan nodded repeatedly, "Wizard Agular is my mentor’s mentor, not my mentor."
"Huh?" Adams was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
How could Lord Yasen allow a One-Ring Wizard to be Levan’s mentor?
Was it crazy, or was the world crazy?
"Greetings, Lord Adams," Lor smiled, bowing to Adams, "I am honored to be favored by Speaker Yasen to become Levan’s mentor, forgive me for any offense."
"Alright then, I really don’t know what Lord Yasen is thinking, letting a One-Ring Wizard be Levan’s mentor."
Adams shook his head, extending a claw to pick up Levan and place him on its back, then said to Lor, "Come with me, I was sent by Lord Yasen to receive you."
Upon saying so, it flapped its wings, flying ahead to show the way.
"Uncle Adams, the mentor is very powerful, taught me many things over the years," Levan said indignantly, patting Adam’s back hard.
"Alright, alright, powerful," Adams responded to Levan nonchalantly.
Piloting the spaceship behind Adams, Lor, overhearing the conversation between a dragon and a man, felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.
Thinking about actually meeting Speaker Yasen himself later, his heart began to stir with excitement.
"That’s someone who will become a Sage-level Wizard in the future..." Lor secretly anticipated.
Every Sage-level Wizard possesses the power to completely annihilate a plane alone.
Even in tumultuous times, they stand as the strongest on the pinnacle.
In his past life, players could never make contact with such beings, the same for those Faith Wizards who invested extensively to reach the Sixth Ring.
"Hoo hoo——"
Lor piloted the spaceship, following the Red Dragon for about twenty minutes, finally arriving outside a desert ablaze with flames.
The flames in that desert varied in color, shooting more than ten meters above the sand, boundless, from afar appearing as a sea of fire.
"Lord Yasen, I’ve brought them," the Red Dragon paused outside the desert, shouting loudly.
"Crack——"
The next moment, the flames in the desert parted in two on their own, revealing a path around a hundred kilometers wide, leading deep into the desert.
"Come on, we’re going in," the Red Dragon said to Lor behind him, then flapped its wings, flying into the desert.
"This Glazed Desert is truly vast and grand, I only caught a glimpse in the historical CG, now I can take a good look,"
Lor said as he controlled the spaceship to follow the Red Dragon, observing the sea of fire below with eyes full of novelty.
In the historical CG of the Faith Wizards’ disturbance, this Glazed Desert was detonated forcibly by Speaker Yasen.
It was because of this that he, as a single Elemental Mage, could kill that Dark Faith Mage, winning the final victory.
