Chapter 511: The Legend with Four Maxims!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Looking at the huge ball of light, which was the legendary Arcane City, a flicker of uncertainty appeared in Merlin’s eyes. Just the overwhelming aura of Arcane City was enough to instill a feeling of reverence.
“Merlin, don’t worry. Let’s go in.”
Wizard Mogan smiled, and led Merlin to fly toward the huge ball of light. As the light rays became more and more blinding, Merlin’s Mind Power was unable to detect anything other than a complete blank.
“Swish swish.”
Finally, the two of them were fully immersed by the blinding white light and disappeared without a trace…
…
Merlin felt that his entire body was extremely comfortable, like he was soaking in a warm bath. In fact, he could not help but moan aloud.
“Merlin, wake up.”
Just as Merlin was enjoying himself thoroughly, Wizard Mogan’s voice resounded in his ears. A feeling of shock jolted in his heart as he hurriedly opened his eyes. What he saw was a lush green sprawling field.
In a distance away across the field, stood several towering buildings that radiated a soft brilliance. It aroused the desire for people to get closer as if there was something particularly attractive on the inside.
Beside him, Wizard Mogan was explained, “Merlin, this is Arcane City! Although it’s termed as Arcane City, it’s actually an incomparably huge dimension that’s vast and almost endless. Merlin, feel around, can you sense what’s the difference between Arcane City and the other dimensions?”
“What’s the difference?”
Merlin had not sensed it but upon hearing Wizard Mogan’s prompts, he began to pay attention to the changes in his surroundings.
“Hoo…” The Spell Models inside Merlin’s body were gently whirring. The next instant, endless elements began to surge madly like a storm and flooded into Merlin’s Awareness. Suddenly, all of Merlin’s Spell Models had been fully recharged. At the same time, the transformation of Magic Power had also quickened.
Suddenly, Magic Power that would have required a huge number of elemental crystal stones as replenishment was recharged into Merlin’s Spell Models. The speed far outs.h.i.+ned the effects of elemental crystal stones. In any other dimension, such an occurrence would be nothing more than a fool’s dream. It was completely unbelievable.
“The elements here are so concentrated! I’ve never sensed such a high concentration of elements. With such dense elements, this place is essentially a paradise for Spell Casters. If there was a battle here, there would be no fear of exhausting one’s Magic Power.”
Finally, Merlin had sensed the difference in Arcane City.
The elements were truly concentrated, so the rate of replenishment of Spell Models was faster than using elemental crystal stones.
Wizard Mogan nodded slightly and extended his hand with his fingers wide open. Then, as if he was grabbing something, he closed his fist aggressively.
“Crack.”
In the originally invisible air, a crisp sound reverberated. At the same time, s.h.i.+ny stones fell from the sky. Merlin picked it up and saw that it was an elemental crystal stone.
Merlin’s jaw dropped wide open with an expression of disbelief. These elemental crystal stones were formed just from Wizard Mogan’s casual grab. Just by exerting high enough pressure, it was possible to “create” elemental crystal stones.
In other dimensions, elemental crystal stones had to be formed over hundreds and thousands of years. In addition, the location had to be suitable and had to fulfill some special requirements before elemental crystal stones could be slowly formed.
However, in Arcane City, all that was required was a powerful force to directly condense, compress and “create” the elemental crystal stones, which was simply incredible.
Wizard Mogan lamented, “This is an example of the Ultimate Arcane Wizards’ techniques, all of which completely exceeds imagination… Besides the high concentration of elements, the force fields in Arcane City are also different because they can change at will. Some of the force fields are several, tens or hundred times more powerful than other dimensions. Under such a powerful force field, the puppets transfigured by the alchemists can be trained to become even stronger. Originally, a Seventh-level puppet would be the limit. However, in Arcane City, it’s possible to transfigure an Eighth-level, Ninth-level or even Great Wizard-equivalent puppet.
“Not only the force fields but even the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers can be changed accordingly. Basically, the entire Arcane City is the best place for Spell Casters to cultivate themselves!”
Wizard Mogan described the special characteristics of Arcane City in detail to Merlin with a look of excitement on his face. This was the reverence he held toward the Ultimate Arcane Wizards.
“Let’s go. It looks near but it’s actually very far. We’ll go via subs.p.a.ce!”
Wizard Mogan was referring to the majestic building in front of them. Although Arcane City now encompa.s.sed the entire dimension, the initial Arcane City created by the Arcane Wizards was a fully-equipped and functional city. Due to the overshadowing brilliance of Arcane City, however, the entire dimension became known as Arcane City.
“Whoosh.”
Wizard Mogan immediately opened a s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage and led him into the s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage. Traveling via subs.p.a.ce took almost less than a moment. Merlin felt that the s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage vibrate gently, and then it was reopened by Wizard Mogan. Both of them walked out.
Looking from a distance away, this was already a huge, sprawling city but standing right before it blew Merlin’s breath away. It was even more stunning than looking from afar.
The towering buildings were one thing but some of them were floating in the air as if they were completely weightless. There were no Runic Magic Circles or whatsoever to stabilize them, yet they were exceptionally stable, which was beyond reasonable comprehension.
Wizard Mogan seemed to see through Merlin’s confusion, so he smiled. “That’s because of the change in force fields. Throughout Arcane City, everywhere is filled with wonder! The marvelous techniques possessed by the Ultimate Arcane Wizards are unsurpa.s.sable even by the Great Honored Legends!
It was truly marvelous. As Merlin walked through Arcane City, he felt that he was surrounded by things that he did not understand or had never seen before.
Just as Merlin was getting excited about exploring Arcane City, a Spell Caster dressed in platinum long Wizard robes silently appeared before them.
Merlin was shocked because he had not detected anything.
Wizard Mogan, on the other hand, smiled and said, “This is our first time entering Arcane City. I’m recommending my disciple into Arcane City to meditate!”
This platinum-robed Wizard glanced coldly at Merlin and Wizard Mogan. He nodded slowly and said, “Of course it’s your first time to Arcane City. Even the Legendary Wizards, unless summoned by the Ultimate Arcane Wizards, can only enter Arcane City once in their lifetime. That is, when they use their one and only recommendation to bring their disciple to Arcane City. Otherwise, it would not be possible to enter Arcane City. Well, then, come with me.”
Merlin was just about to ask a question but he saw Wizard Mogan gently shaking his head, seemingly wary of this platinum-robed Spell Caster.
“Hoo…”
The platinum-robed Spell Caster lightly waved his hand and walked on wind. His speed was incredible, perhaps not as fast as a Flying casting tool, but not too far behind.
Such a fast speed had truly astounded Merlin, to the point of disbelief.
“This is a Legendary Wizard who has almost discovered an ultimate Maxim. Once he succeeds, he’ll be an Honored Legend!”
It was not surprising that Wizard Mogan was so respectful toward him. Apparently this plain-looking Spell Caster was almost an Honored Legend.
“Arcane City is truly unbelievable. Just the first Spell Caster whom we’ve encountered is almost an Honored Legend.”
Merlin’s gaze was fixed on the soon-to-be Honored Legend before them. Both their speeds were not as fast so, they could only rely on Flying casting tools.
Soon, the three of them came to an ancient palace complex which was floating in the sky. The powerful Legend led Merlin and Wizard Mogan straight into the main palace.
There were many Spell Casters in the main palace. Their auras varied but Merlin noticed that most of them were Spell Casters of the Seventh-level or below.
When these Wizards saw Merlin and Wizard Mogan, they were uninterested and continued with what they were doing. Some of them were mingling around while some of them were practicing spells, so it was quite lively.
The cold-expression Great Legend bellowed loudly at them. “Who will guide them to apply for the newcomer’s a.s.sessment into Arcane City? Ten Adventure points!”
“I’ll go, I’ll go.”
In an instant, many of the Spell Casters shouted with enthusiasm. Among them, a fat Wizard with a plump figure was the most enthusiastic of all. He rushed forward and even furrowed his brows at Merlin with a comical expression.
“Hmm, it’s you then! Bring them to complete the a.s.sessment, then you can claim your ten Adventure points.”
After he spoke, the powerful Legendary Wizard turned around and left.
The fat Wizard smiled at Merlin and Wizard Mogan. “Is this your first time to Arcane City?”
Wizard Mogan nodded and said, “Yes, this is our first time to Arcane City. It’s to recommend Merlin to Arcane City.”
The fat Wizard’s eyes flashed bright and hurriedly said, “Hehe, so you’re also being recommended to enter Arcane City. You’re considered a newcomer in this hundred-years period, so in the future, we’ll be considered as the same batch of Potential Wizards!”
“Same batch of Potential Wizards?”
Merlin looked at this fat Wizard doubtfully, and he patiently explained, “In Arcane City, there are many Spell Casters. Every hundred years is considered as one batch, and we’re called Potential Wizards! I’m also recommended to Arcane City by my mentor twenty-six years ago. We’re the latest batch of Potential Wizards!”
Merlin nodded. It appeared that he would have a lot of opportunities to interact with this fat Wizard in the future.
The fat Wizard was very talkative, chatting incessantly throughout their journey. Fortunately, Merlin also needed to understand the workings of Arcane City, so he listened patiently.
Not too long afterward, the three of them left the floating palace complex. However, the moment they stepped out of the palace complex, they saw a behemoth object as big as a castle descended from the sky and flew toward them.
Even the platinum-robed Great Legend who had left them earlier was solemnly staring at the behemoth castle in the sky. The castle exuded an extremely powerful aura, and contained ferocious Wind Elements, Fire Elements, Thunder Elements, and Earth Elements.
Merlin could only detect the elements, but in Wizard Mogan’s eyes, they represented Maxims!
“It’s a Great Legend who has consolidated four Maxims. A powerful Legend is arriving!”
Wizard Mogan’s eyes were filled with awe. A Great Legend who had consolidated four Maxims was a powerful Wizard who stood at the top. Despite visiting countless dimensions before, Wizard Mogan had never seen such a powerful Legend.
“Boom boom.”
The behemoth castle slowly descended in front of the palace complex, causing a strong gust of air and a phenomenal rumble. Spell Casters came rus.h.i.+ng from the palace complex. All of them were awestruck by the behemoth castle.
Beside Merlin, the fat Wizard revealed a hint of excitement. Wiping off the sweat beads on his forehead, he said excitedly, “Amazing, this must be another prodigy, maybe even an unrivaled prowess! Tsk tsk, this is a Great Legend who has consolidated four Maxims. The height of their expectations cannot possibly be conceived by ordinary Wizard! In order for someone to be accepted as their disciple and for them to use their one and only recommendation, surely the Spell Caster must be a genius above all the geniuses. Even Arcane City would not be able to hide their dazzling brilliance.”
A Great Legend who had consolidated four Maxims was rare even in Arcane City, so the descent stirred up a lot of attention. Many of the Spell Casters’ gazes were cast toward the gates of the castle suspended in mid-air.
