Chapter 370: The Death of the Chaos Worm
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the Wizard Continent, from the farmers and workers on the ground who occasionally looked upward to the women who worked by windows and often watched the clouds in the sky, wherever they were, anyone could see the faint silhouette of the Wizard Tower.
The faint silhouette of the Wizard Tower was never fixed in one spot for a long time but would tour all of the wizard schools and cities of the Wizard Continent.
The Wizard Parliamentary System of the Wizard Alliance and the system of the College Council and the City Hall which controlled the continent had been in power for hundreds of years. Although there were many loopholes in the system and problems often arose, the system persisted because of the dominant position of the powerful wizards in society. Wizards from the Wizard Tower had established more and more wizard schools, and wizards from wizard schools built numerous cities, towns, and villages.
Through constant reform and the suppression of the wizards’ extraordinary status, the construction of a new system for wizards and Magic Crystal was constantly emerging. At the same time, the Wizard Alliance had been focusing on their expansion and development of other continents, and it had gradually formed a system that was unique to the wizards.
But at the same time, because of the longevity of the Elemental Wizard and the malpractice of the Parliamentary System, the reformation of some important areas was taking place at a slower pace. In hundreds of years, the world hadn’t changed as much as Lu Zhiyu thought it would in a decade of the industrial revolution.
But for the Wizard Alliance, there was no problem at all, because they had the time to take it slowly.
They progressed slowly. They saw nothing wrong with it.
Everyone inside the Wizard Tower was busy and on the go. The bottom of the tower was a huge octagonal Magic Crystal Pillar and a Seventh-Grade mana pool. It was embedded in the Energy Room at the bottom of the tower. No one was allowed to enter. Majestic mana was continuously transmitted through the Magic Crystal Network to the inside of the tower.
Above the mana pool was a huge silver ring that spun continuously in an irregular oscillation; it allowed the huge tower to float in the air. The tower had completed its first inspection, and its next goal was to explore the World of Bitwall.
The Floating Space Tower needed a large number of alchemy warlocks to support its daily operation. At the same time, its consumption of mana was extremely high. After a huge round of inspections of the Wizard Continent, the rate of mana consumption had reached an alarming level. A newly-promoted Seventh-Level Mythical Wizard was in control of the operations of the Floating-Space Tower, and it was tiring work for him.
“The routine inspection will be completed soon. On our next stop, we’ll return to the Wizard City. Prepare for docking immediately!” Cook Bay, who was in a white wizard’s robe with a tower and silver-colored infinity symbol embroidered on it, had recently suggested that he become a member of the Wizard Parliamentary System, and he became the first goblin and being of a different race to become one of the decision-makers in the Wizard Alliance.
They were in the sixth-floor control room under the main floor, the seventh floor of the tower. The floor was divided into several areas. There were areas controlling the Magic Crystal Network, the Floating System, the witchcraft boundary, the Attack System, and the Main Control Platform respectively.
An Eye of Truth, made by the one-eyed Spirit Devouring Devil of the Abyss, projected a detailed three-dimensional map of all the areas near the Floating-Space Tower. It could target anything in the area at any time and strike and intercept accurately. Their inspection tour was also a deterrent to many wizard schools under the Wizard Alliance.
“The Magic Report has been sent to the Wizard City!”
“The Wizard City has responded, communication has ended!”
When the Floating Space Tower returned to the sky above the Wizard City and sat on the base of the city’s core, one could see the rapid expansion of the overall Protective Witchcraft Boundary of the Wizard City and the activation of the Mana Network of the whole city.
Catherine looked at the familiar Wizard City and said to Cook Bay, “Well done!”
Cook Bay was a little short. He only reached the much taller Catharine’s waist. He looked up with excitement and said, “Just doing my job.”
Cook Bay completed the inspection mission and confirmed that there were no major problems in his design of the Floating-Space Tower, but he still dared not relax a bit. This was because his next task would be to explore the World of Bitwall. It would be the first time that wizards had really explored that world.
After completing an inspection of the Wizard Tower, all crew members immediately disbanded following an urgent meeting and went home to rest. Cook Bay stayed in the tower and prepared for his next mission.
But Catherine, the master of the tower, disappeared quietly from the tower and went down the long street toward the castle of the Tower College where many people lived. The stairway inside the castle was intricate and bizarre. Whoever had constructed it was full of imagination, it was just like a garden castle in a child’s dream.
She walked up the stairs to the very top of the castle. Lu Zhiyu was already standing there, looking at the Wizard City.
“How is it?” Catherine was very proud of the wizard kingdom she had founded.
Lu Zhiyu nodded, “A great country worthy of praise and pride, but I’m not just looking at the cities and wizards on their own, but wisdom and civilization. It’s the eruption of thousands of people’s wisdom that leads to the formation of a brilliant civilization.”
When Catherine saw Lu Zhiyu, she knew that he was going to leave, but she asked anyway, “Are you going to leave again? Leave this world? For a new place? Maria’s World? Or other unknown places in the astral world?”
Lu Zhiyu nodded, “There seems to be something wonderful occurring in the astral world. I’m going to take a look at it. Before I leave, I’m bidding farewell to you, because it may be a long time before we meet again!”
Catherine said as if mocking herself, “Don’t worry, the only advantage of being a Mythical Being is that I can afford to wait!” Then she got a longing look in her eyes, “Astral world? I wish I could go and take a look at it too!”
“You will!”
“I wish I could go take a look at Maria’s World!”
Lu Zhiyu had his reasons for choosing that place. It was the place where Catherine and the rest had lived when they were becoming apprentices as wizards. It was also the place where wizards of their generation like to play the most. When they were children, they played and fought there, basked under the sun, watched the sunrise, and watched the sunset.
After a final farewell to Catherine, Lu Zhiyu finally left that world and ended a journey that would be considered long and tedious by ordinary people, but for Lu Zhiyu was just a simple and short journey.
Lu Zhiyu wanted to leave in a hurry because a Chaos Worm had died in the astral world.
The Chaos Worm was the model and seed of a world. Its death wasn’t a simple matter. In a sense, they shouldn’t die because there was no natural enemy for them in the astral world.
But the truth was in front of Lu Zhiyu. A Chaos Worm had really died, so he rushed to the astral world to see what was happening in the dark and unfathomable astral world.
