“Daniel, take care.”
The three chatted for a while, and two of them took their leave from Wizard Tower.
Daniel turned to walk back. He was preparing to ask Colifor where he would be staying in Wizard Tower.
After taking just a couple of steps, he exclaimed and stomped his foot, then ran outside. But it was too late; he watched as Wizard Tower gradually disappeared into the distance. Daniel was furious. He should have anticipated that with Natalie’s greedy nature, she would never let go of Wizard Tower. She must have driven it away.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t thought of that earlier and could only watch helplessly as Wizard Tower moved further away from him. At the same time, he tried to comfort himself, thinking that it didn’t matter who was driving it; after all, he wouldn’t be leaving this place anytime soon, so let Natalie temporarily pilot Wizard Tower.
The problem was, it hurt. Trying to take something from Natalie was like trying to kill her.
After spending two hours, Daniel selected the knowledge he wanted to learn. Richard glanced at him. “You’ve chosen quite comprehensively. That’s good; it’s enough for you to advance to Third-Rank Wizard.”
Indeed, Daniel had purchased a lot of knowledge. He had just over four million Magic Stones, and buying the knowledge alone cost him three and a half million, even with a discount. Otherwise, it would have been five million Magic Stones.
Daniel smiled but didn’t respond. Since he was preparing to go to another world, time was uncertain. According to Stargazer, spending hundreds of years was considered short, while thousands of years were quite common. Most tasks could only be completed after becoming a Third-Rank Wizard, allowing one to return to the Wizarding World.
Thus, he certainly needed to consider all the knowledge required before becoming a Third-Rank Wizard. That’s why he reluctantly spent so many Magic Stones.
“Well then, since that’s the case, I’ll leave everything to you.”
Richard pointed with his hand, and suddenly Daniel felt a mass of information added to his mind. He wanted to examine it closely but didn’t know its contents.
“The knowledge you need has all been sealed in your mind. When you reach the stage where you can learn it, the seal will naturally be lifted, allowing you to study without being overwhelmed by too much information at once. As for the three and a half million Magic Stones, I’ll only charge you two million for now; you can pay the rest double when you return.”
"Thank you, Mentor."
Daniel felt somewhat moved. It seemed he needed to spend one and a half million Magic Stones, which was quite a loss for him.
However, the situation shouldn't be viewed that way. Every Stargazer would receive a substantial reward as long as they completed their tasks, and even a Third-Rank Archmage would be envious. By that time, the mere one and a half million Magic Stones would not be considered much.
Now that Daniel had an extra one and a half million Magic Stones in hand, he was better prepared, increasing his chances of survival in the other world. He had gained a significant advantage.
"Alright, time is of the essence, so I won't keep you. Follow me; I'll take you to Sky City. It's the stronghold of the Wizard Alliance for external battles. I've already made arrangements. Within a month, as long as you reach the Starry Sky Exploration Station, someone will teleport you to the other world."
"Thank you, Mentor."
Standing on the Teleportation Array, Daniel hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly felt dizzy and found himself no longer in place.
He didn't know how long it had been when Daniel felt a tremor beneath his feet before finally stopping, his head throbbing slightly. He knew this was due to the long distance of the teleportation; he couldn't fathom how far Sky City was from Wizard Tower.
Looking around, Daniel's mouth fell open in disbelief.
Before him was a vast square filled with countless Teleportation Arrays, flickering continuously. People appeared from within or departed via the Teleportation Arrays, creating a bustling scene that was hard to imagine without witnessing it firsthand.
"Alright, you over there! Hurry up and get off the Teleportation Array; don't waste time standing there."
Hearing someone speak, Daniel finally reacted and quickly stepped away from the Teleportation Array.
"This is your first time in Sky City, isn't it?" A wizard responsible for overseeing the Teleportation Array approached him.
"Yes, could you please tell me where I should go?"
"I don't know, but there is a map here specifically for newcomers. You can choose for yourself."
"Thank you."
Daniel smiled as he took it and stepped out of Teleportation Square. When he inadvertently looked up, his mouth dropped open in disbelief.
What did he see?
It was a sphere, a very large sphere hanging in the air. For someone seeing it for the first time, it might just seem enormous and they wouldn't know what it was. But Daniel had seen things from this perspective before; it was the Space Station.
Indeed, it was the view of Earth from the Space Station.
From that angle, could this massive sphere before him be the Wizarding World?
But it was too enormous. According to Daniel's calculations, the distance between Sky City and the Wizarding World was at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of miles.
Yet, the Wizarding World still occupied every corner of Sky City, making it impossible for him to see anything else.
Everyone who saw Daniel would reveal a knowing smile; when they first encountered the true appearance of the Wizarding World, they probably felt even more overwhelmed than he did.
This scene was truly unimaginable.
No wonder he had never heard of Sky City; it turned out to be located not within the Wizarding World but in outer space, far away from the Wizarding World.
He lowered his head and glanced at the crystal ball in his hand, checking the map of Sky City, unsure of what to make of it.
Sky City appeared to be a city, but its area was incredibly vast, spanning millions of square kilometers—larger than many countries from his previous life. With such a large Space Station, he couldn't fathom how the Wizarding World managed to construct it.
Sky City is divided into hundreds of layers, with transportation shafts connecting each layer, making travel very convenient. However, even so, due to the sheer size of Sky City, its height is disproportionate to its area, forming a flattened oval shape that looks like a plate from a distance.
The shock is truly overwhelming. Walking within it, Daniel realizes what it means to be like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden; this is his situation—unimaginable and incomprehensible. The entire Sky City is a miracle of the Wizarding World.
Most of those who can walk freely in Sky City are Formal Wizards, and it is rare to see Wizard Apprentices. Considering the hundreds of square kilometers of area and the hundreds of layers of space within Sky City, one can see how many people it can accommodate, which reflects the strength of the Wizarding World.
He begins to understand why this place is the starting point for the Wizard Alliance's external battles. With such a miracle, everyone who sees it will be filled with confidence in the Wizard Alliance, believing that victory will ultimately belong to them.
Especially for the Stargazers, who spend hundreds or even thousands of years on missions outside. During such long periods surrounded by enemies, once exposed, they could face dire consequences; they might be dissected for research to uncover any useful value.
In such situations, the psychological pressure on Stargazers is immense, and there is a significant chance they might abandon their missions and live as natives in another world until death.
Alternatively, they might achieve great success in that world and become reluctant to give up, abandoning their mission instead to assist that world against the Wizard Alliance.
In these circumstances, boosting their morale and instilling confidence is crucial. There is nothing more reassuring than Sky City. With such a fortress, which world could withstand an assault?
If he is not mistaken, before being transported to another world, there will be an exceptionally grand military parade led by the Rule Wizard, with a legion attacking another realm.
This will showcase how powerful the Wizarding World is and provide infinite confidence.
However, before that, Daniel plans to visit the library in Sky City. According to the map's indications, the library in Sky City is one of the largest libraries of the Wizard Alliance, containing countless books.
Before that, though, Daniel decides to rent a flying mount since Sky City is too vast. Traveling on foot would be cumbersome if he wants to reach another location.
For longer distances, he might even need to use a Teleportation Array to get there directly; for shorter distances, a flying mount would be the best choice.
Thus, there are many shops in Sky City that sell or rent mounts. After checking the map, Daniel finds a shop just two streets away and walks over.
The place was much larger than the slave shop he had seen in Alvis, mostly filled with various mounts, but also involved in the buying and selling of slaves.
Soon, a staff member approached. She was a beautiful young girl, tall and with a shy smile on her face. Daniel noticed the collar around her neck and understood her identity as a Subhuman.
In the exotic world of Wizarding World Conquest, there were countless beings similar to humans, indistinguishable from them at first glance. Only through dissection could one see the differences in their internal structures.
With the same skin color and similar appearances, Subhuman slaves became one of the best-selling slaves in the Wizard Alliance. The most outstanding ones could even attract fierce competition among many wizards, fetching high prices.
"Great Master Wizard, what kind of slave do you need? We have many types of slaves here. I believe you might need a combat slave; in external wars, they can protect your safety with their lives."
Daniel shook his head and said, "No, I want a flying mount. What kinds of flying mounts do you have available?"
He did want a few combat-supporting slaves; in interdimensional wars, which wizard didn’t have a few such slaves? Some wizards even purchased very powerful slaves to enhance their combat capabilities and ensure their safety.
These slaves were also the main cannon fodder for the Wizard Alliance in external wars to reduce casualties among wizards.
Unfortunately, as the vanguard of the alliance's external wars, Stargazers could not carry any slaves to minimize the risk of being discovered by enemies.
