….
The battle that happened at Phosphorescence Swamp swept through the central continent like a whirlwind.
The one who had caused the downfall for the Ouroboros Clan enemies based on her own strength, and thus protecting the Ouroboros Clan, The Morning Star Magus Lita Raiz, had invited many friendly organisations to her Morning Star ceremony.
In response to this invitation, many large-scaled organisations who had intentionally kept a distance due to their disdain towards the Ouroboros Clan saw a chance to repair this relationship and sent people to attend.
Other organisations also saw the ceremony as a great chance to figure out the situation within the Ouroboros Clan, and to better understand Lita’s strength. They, too, sent out spies or envoys.
During that time, numerous Magi hurried towards Phosphorescence Swamp, causing the swamp to be bustling with life, a huge contrast from the normal deathly silence.
The messengers sent out have mostly returned with positive replies. Most of the emissaries of those organisations have already set out. Recently, Phosphorescence Swamp has not been very orderly. Though preparations for the ceremony are completed, it’s necessary to prepare a few emergency contingencies.
Also, the bloodline Warlocks from Spirit Circle and Wind Wolf Lair decided to come earlier to the headquarters. Lita would need to take some time to meet them.
Freya’s Blood Serpent Family and Leylin’s Farlier Family were the organizers as they were chosen to make all arrangements. Freya family was beyond delighted with this favour and they worked tirelessly. There was a slight shock for all Warlock as Lita still proclaimed herself as Leylin’s Fiancee and commanded his servant and vassals, it means she would not be breaking her engagement which was a bit odd since The female was a revered Morning Star and male was just a mere tainted Crystal Phase Warlock. Faisal took it upon himself along with some other elder Warlock to advice Lita for the rise of Raiz Family in return they were thrown out and she proclaimed that Lita Raiz is, and forever will be a Farlier Family member.
After she suppressed everyone, Lita turned to the experiment left by Leylin to complete and her expression turned serious. She stared at the produced broken sword. This sword had the style of casting in ancient times. It was cold and sharp, and even time could do nothing to weaken its firmness.
There were even traces of golden-coloured blood on the blade.
This was the bloodline of the Sun’s child and the Wing of the Sun .
Sensing the powerful bloodline strength on the sword’s hilt, a hint of a seriousness revealed about Lita’s face.
Leylin has already made amazing progress but he didn’t have the top-level Magus Tower like the one in headquarters hence he couldn’t finish it so, it was left to Lita to use the various bloodline resources, Bloodline leeches and high every radiation pool and etc. to finish this job. All the theoretical stimulation has been processed only the implementation is left.
The power and allure of a Rank 6 bloodline cannot be underestimated, it would an unmatched Trump card if used perfectly in fact Leylin has a plan to maximize its utilization. If nothing else, then the Bloodline imprint is very tempting of course he would have to go to Lava World first to grab the Fireplume mediation techniques to control it from going berserk and turning on him. Leylin has the Vermilion Bird techniques but he has to be sure, who knows he may gain something amazing.
…
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
Countless giant fireworks exploded in mid-air. The headquarters of Ouroboros Clan had been painted over, and now no longer had any traces from the battle. There were even fresh flowers and streamers along all the pathways.
The guests from the other organisations in the central continent all had sincere grins on their faces. Under the guidance of the Warlocks of Ouroboros Clan, they headed towards the heart of the city.
This was a palace that had been constructed in a hurry for Lita, the location of the ceremony.
In order to curry favour with the only Morning Star Warlock in the organisation, the Blood Serpent Family Warlocks had done all they could and arranged everything tidily, The Farlier family couldn’t do much because of the enthusiasm of the Freya’s family.
They had even gone out of their way and brought out lavish liquor and delicacies, many of which were unique resources in the Magus World that could increase spiritual force and the effects of meditation. There were so many that they seemed dirt cheap, and it resulted in looks of admiration and surprise.
Many guests were gathered in a hall, though they were separated clearly into tens of little circles.
Bloodline Warlocks and Magi had two large circles, and within those, another ten or so were formed based on various factors like power, ranking, level of intimacy and so on.
The Warlocks and Magi were like the ladies and gentlemen of high society, conversing courteously and occasionally toasting each other. The atmosphere was harmonious, and it was unthinkable that some of the people here had been eager for the death of the other party just a few days ago.
Many organization attended this ceremony as the Spirit Circle and Wind Wolf Lair who were the two largest bloodline Warlock organisations that the Ouroboros Clan was close to showed much good will towards Lita.
Organization like Rustic Woodlands, Azure Mountain King Oakheart family, Fallor Family and Jupiter’s Lightning attended with different intentions.
Various gifts were presented like Astral Stone, various treasure, a private ride called Giant Queen’s Serpent and etc.
Some came with ill intention which were squandered by Lita causing others to reevaluate her prowess.
But away from all this drama and politics, Leylin was travelling leisurely and comfortably enjoying the vastness and culture of the central continent , after travelling alone for sometime he disguise as scholary truth seeker and accompanied a few like minded people with similar destination.
A thick darkness constantly shrouded around the earth, and only the light on the carriage persisted, illuminating the surrounding area.
“We are just a few days travel away from the cradle of truth in our central continent — Sky City.”
On the carriage, Leylin was conversing with a few other scholars as they were sharing intellectual and comprehensive knowledge.
Leylin has now concealed his frightening rank 4 aura, and also made adjustments to his outer appearance. Nobody would be able to recognise him, with his disguise techniques and mastery, even the Sky City’s control room won’t be able to see through his facade.
Leylin has changed his outer appearance completely, he was wearing black clothes with an open white robe over it. His hairs were short and brown in color, he wore glasses and to others he seems like a soft spoken and very intelligent man, with his very warm appearance.His disguise name is — Aizen.
He was now having a delightful conversation with few scholar Magus he had just met.
“Yes! I once tried doing that but it was almost impossible to balance. But using the remai frozen florescent to offset the explosive heat never even crossed my mind.” The old mud haired Magus with a shrill voice was speaking excitedly. Others behind him were also nodding in awe of Aizen.
Leylin listened quietly while sitting beside them, occasionally asking a few questions and providing opinions, which caused the old man and others eyes to sparkle.
With his current knowledge, there were few in central continent who could be compared with him. With just a few words, others were full of praise for him. The reason why Leylin indulge in conversation with them and accompanied them was because they are going to Sky City and were quite frequent there. It was only because of an exploration mission that they left, Leylin joined their company and asked them to take him there.
Of course, he used his illusion ability to lower their guard towards a complete stranger and afterwards use his knowledge to make a good impression and subdue the scholars in them. Now, Leylin is a revered and respected colleague for them and they have great feeling of fondness of his company.
Leylin chatted with them once in a while, forcing down the excitement in his heart.
‘Fountain of Knowledge, here I come!’
…
A female Magus raised her head and peered over her book curiously, gazing at loosely dressed brown haired spectacle young magus. The female Magus pushed her own pair of spectacles with thick lenses perching them on the bridge of her nose, and her hair was tied in two braids.
She had been paying attention to this strange Magus in front of her for a long time now.
He didn’t seem to lack information points, which could be seen from how he often referred to thick stacks of resources. Even if she worked all day and night for a month without rest, she wouldn’t be able to earn the amount of information points required for such information.
After selecting his resources, he didn’t read the information carefully, but instead flipped through it briefly before casually casting it aside. This made her heart ache.
Library resources that were grade 3 and above were only for private browsing in the reading room. They couldn’t be brought out of the library or exchanged with others. Under the supervision of the spirit genie, there were no loopholes.
Thus, this female Magus could only drool with envy at the mountains of resources this young kind looking magus had acquired with his information points, and couldn’t do a single thing about it.
The eternal light spell was adjusted by the spirit genie, gently tuning the light rays for a better reading experience. Time ticked by along with the rustling sound of the pages turning.
‘This Magus is so hateful!’ The female Magus secretly thought and, usually she isn’t someone bothered by others but this guy was getting on her nerves for wasting the resources. She then shook her head and continued to immerse herself in her books. Time was precious, and she could not afford to waste any of it.
The huge library in Sky City could be said to have everything. Its information was not limited to that about the central continent; there was data about other worlds as well.
Further in from the data terminals and the hall was the gigantic library that resembled a palace. Some sort of technique had been employed to expand the space within. At a glimpse, one would see bookshelves as massive as mountains, all so densely packed and numerous that there seemed to be no end.
The information’s were stored in certain special materials, and it could only be presented in that specific format. For example, there were some books that the spirit genie was unable to make a duplicate of, and required that one read using the physical copy.
There are two methods to gain access to these information. One is to complete missions by the Sage Committee. The second is to furnish the spirit genie’s inner library with information it still does not possess. One will be awarded information points based on the value of the added information.
This an extremely ingenuis plan as it would help the library accumulate more knowledge. Information points conversion allowed the library to become more abundant in information, and after such a huge amassment of information it has allowed Sky City to withstand the test of time. it has accumulated a vast trove of knowledge.
Making it one of the strongest organisations in the central continent.
Others might have problem regarding the information points but not Leylin, he has lots of information including those world he hasn’t even been to. He can use those knowledge which won’t attract much attention and gain valuable information points.
Compared to the A. I. Chip database, the amount of information in the entire library was seemingly like a vast ocean—boundless. It was incomparably enriching. Any scholar would feel like a person who was nearly dying from thirst being thrown into a freshwater lake all of a sudden. They same could be said for Leylin as he absorbed all the content as though his life depended on it, and never stepped a foot out of the place.
A. I. Chip database grew with even more detailed and complex subjects, its technical ability was supplemented unceasingly.
The copious amount of information in here formed a foundation for all disciplines of magic scholarship.
Leylin finally had his wish completed as after the numerous resources he had amassed this time resulted in a relatively drastic upgrade for the A.I. Chip.
Leylin’s face almost lit up with delight.
Although there was loads of information in the huge library, but the content that was grade 3 and below were the most important. This was because Leylin possessed a near unlimited amount of magic crystals, and coupled with the data terminal the convenience of information transmission was unparalleled. In just a short span of time, the foundational information that could be duplicated by the spirit genie had all been backed up into the A.I. Chip.
As for more advanced content that was above grade 3, Leylin had tossed out lots of his information to the spirit genie—as long as it was eligible for conversion and would not attract any trouble, of course. This allowed him to exchange his data for a monumental amount of information points. He then specifically searched for topics that Warlocks and the A.I. Chip lacked information on before commanding the A.I. Chip to scan and record it.
With the A.I. Chip, a large amount of academic content could be derived from just the foundational information alone. No matter how high the grade, the content could still be deduced.
After all, now that he already had a great foundation, all that was left was to perform derivations that would consume copious amounts of operational energy.
Leylin used his information points to directly access the content that the A.I. Chip did not have the ability to derive, thus completing his database.
In this manner, within the short span of a month or so, he had already recorded roughly all of the content in the huge library.
One must know that even Radiant Moons, Breaking Dawns and other Magi or scholars who grew up in Sky City wouldn’t be able to remember so much. The excessive accumulated information would have conflicting information, causing the Magus to forget some things. They would have to constantly refresh their memory.
With their standards, being able to remember all the grade 1 and 2 information would mean that one was an absolute genius. Leylin, however, had exceeded them by leaps and bounds. He’d accumulated a lifetime of information!
[Beep! Database has been refreshed. Update completed.] The A.I. Chip which had gone silent for a while suddenly sounded out.
‘It’s finally done. The timing is perfect, the Scarlet Ruins is going to appear soon. I should make haste, although Lita has made all the preparation including the alteration of the oath with the Warlock Organization, I need to go there myself for my future path. Revered Wisdom Tree, I am eagerly waiting your arrival. Now that I have increased my database I have a greater understanding of what I need to ask from you, I just hope something unexpected doesn’t happen.’ Leylin thought as an extremely serious expression appeared on his face. He has been waiting for this moment for a long time and he would not leave this chance even for the world.
“Show me my current stats!” Leylin immediately commanded.
[Beep! Leylin Farlier. Rank 4 Warlock, Bloodline: Adhishesh. Strength: 74.6, Agility: 60.8, Vitality: 129.7, Spiritual force: 788.2, Magic power: 788 (Magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force) Soul force: 78 (Three Star)] The A.I. Chip intoned.
