They all preferred to travel across the Continent Mage, rather than being tied down to a single location year-round. Therefore, when Xu Lie hired them to serve as enrollment teachers at the school, they were not required to stay on campus; their responsibility was to conduct enrollment activities in all directions—north, south, east, and west.
While they enjoyed exploring the continent, they also had a fondness for the Truth Gate Magic Book. To earn points, it was essential for them to learn how to enroll effectively. This motivation drove their enthusiasm.
When Xu Lie arrived on deck, over five hundred mages who had accompanied him were already waiting. In addition to the mages who were fully engaged in shipbuilding at the school, many others who were engrossed in magical research had also come along. After all, who wouldn’t want points?
“Mr. Xu Lie has arrived!”
Should we go down to greet him? Or should we use magic to create a grand illusion for our welcome? As they exchanged words, the Flying Ship had already reached above Golden Sun King City. Xu Lie extended his right hand: this was how they would greet each other.
As the capital of the entire kingdom, Golden Sun Kingdom Capital boasted good security and orderly living conditions. Life here was public; while it might not be exceptionally good, it certainly wasn’t bad either. At least those living in the royal city didn’t have to worry day and night about being attacked by magical beasts; their safety was assured.
When encountering villagers from outside the city in the streets, residents of the royal city often felt a slight sense of superiority. Happiness is often derived from comparison; this is human nature and unavoidable. However, this small sense of superiority vanished without a trace upon seeing the massive Flying Ship looming in the sky.
The Baili Changfeizhou cast a shadow that covered several streets. Its towering presence and enormous size sent residents of the royal city into a panic as they rushed back home, too frightened to remain on the streets. In an instant, only terrified villagers seeking refuge in shadowy corners remained outside.
In the central palace of the royal city, the Guard Captain hurriedly approached, urging the king and ministers who were in a meeting to take precautions. What if it was an attack from their rival, Silvermoon Kingdom? Better safe than sorry.
The King, valuing his life, found the Guard Captain's words reasonable and hurriedly attempted to make his way to the basement. Just as he stood up, a faint male voice echoed from outside: "Fifth Level Thunder Magic: Heavenly Punishment."
What had been a clear sky over Golden Sun King City suddenly erupted with thunder and lightning. There were no clouds, no darkness, yet countless flashes of lightning bizarrely descended from the heavens.
Numerous tiny bolts struck down from the sky, crashing into the earth. The thunder rumbled ominously, instilling fear in the hearts of countless citizens. Whether at home or outside, they all knelt in terror, genuinely afraid of the power of this thunder.
Fortunately, it seemed the thunder was selective; it did not harm anyone but targeted only open spaces. Aside from scorching the ground black, it merely produced a terrifying sound.
The thunder came quickly and left just as swiftly. In a matter of about ten seconds, it faded away, leaving the sky clear and cloudless once more. However, the residents of Golden Sun King City remained hesitant to rise.
It was as if they feared that standing up would invite another strike of lightning. Even the King was no exception; he dared not poke his head out of the palace.
Above in the Flying Ship, the little mages stared incredulously at Xu Lie. Was this what they called a greeting? They could guarantee that no one would appreciate such a way of saying hello; it was far too exaggerated and far too frightening.
