Chapter 371: A World Without Resistance?

"Ten?" A wizard exclaimed in disbelief, "How did you survive encountering ten of those things?"

According to Richard's description, this weapon seemed tailor-made for hunting wizards. With its advanced detection mechanisms, high magic resistance, and efficient anti-magic weaponry, a single unit could easily take on three wizards. If there were ten such weapons, apart from the White Wizard Legion, they couldn't think of anything else that could resist them.

"Just luck," Richard said nonchalantly, "There were seven or eight Third Circle wizards with me at the time, and only three of us managed to escape. And that was only because the natives had degraded to the point where they couldn't fully utilize the weapon's capabilities."

Although Richard spoke lightly, the wizards present, with their rich war experience, could imagine how they would have tried to escape if they were Second Circle wizards in that situation. But the conclusion they reached was certain death. Even if they put themselves in their current positions, they weren't sure they could escape unscathed.

Thinking this, they couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Richard. This newly promoted Third Circle wizard was no ordinary man.

After Richard shared his intelligence, no one else spoke. It was also the time for the Floating City to descend. Many Third Circle wizards didn't leave but instead boarded airships to the Floating City.

Above the Floating City, Grand Wizard Galon was delivering a pre-battle speech. The speech was passionate, but the Third Circle wizards in the airships remained unmoved. They had experienced too many wars; speeches could no longer shake their hearts tempered by blood and fire.

Soon, the speech ended, and the Floating City left the Wizard World through a spatial rift. The wizards began searching for their respective rooms.

As a Third Circle wizard, Richard's room was arranged in the upper spire of the Floating City. This was Richard's first time living in the upper levels of the Floating City.

Following the room number, Richard arrived at the third floor of Tower 25. According to Jimmy, half of this entire floor was his. In the past, Richard could only live in the lower levels, with a room of about ten square meters and a meditation room of just a few square meters. Now, he could occupy half a tower floor.

This half-floor included a fully equipped wizard laboratory, a meditation room, a resting room, a training room, and a kitchen. Although these facilities could only be used during the journey and would be converted into work areas once the Floating City landed, it didn't dampen Richard's current joy.

"Being a Third Circle wizard is really nice," Richard sighed lightly and walked into the room with brisk steps.

...

Ten years later.

"This world is truly beautiful," Grand Wizard Galon, clad in a black robe, couldn't help but admire the lush green world not far from the Floating City.

"Yes, Dean," Jimmy, standing beside Galon, had magic patterns flickering on his body, with a layer of magic barrier isolating him from the outside.

They were now in the Astral World, a space that nurtured countless worlds, filled with ether that could erode everything and violent spatial storms. Even Third Circle wizards had to activate magic barriers to resist the erosion of ether and spatial storms in this space.

Grand Wizard Galon looked at the world, "Take a picture, Jimmy. Once we enter, this land probably won't remain so beautiful."

Jimmy took out a crystal ball from his pocket, saved the image of the green world, and then returned to the Floating City.

Grand Wizard Galon sighed lightly, casually pulling a bone staff from the void. This staff looked somewhat similar to the Hellfire Grand Wizard's staff, both made from the remains of World Masters. But unlike the Hellfire Grand Wizard's staff, which had many low-level World Masters' remains mixed in, Galon's staff was entirely made from the bones of sixth-level creatures. Just taking out this staff could cause a spatial storm in the Astral World.

Grand Wizard Galon waved the staff gently, and a magic array expanded outward from the staff, soon becoming as large as the Floating City. Guided by the staff, the massive Floating City gradually approached the green world.

War was about to begin.

...

Boom—Boom—Boom—

The sound of a giant bell echoed through the Floating City. Hearing the bell, wizards stopped whatever they were doing.

"Is it finally time for battle?" In the laboratory, Richard put down the alchemy materials in his hand and stored everything in his Magic Pocket.

The Floating City would only ring the bell in one situation: when it was about to enter a world.

Richard casually opened a Mystic Realm Rift and called Ulysses and Hog out from the Mystic Realm.

"It's time for battle, come out quickly."

In the Mystic Realm, Ulysses was riding Hog, playing an off-road game with the World Mushroom avatar in the air. He stood on Hog's neck, with two black energy chains extending from his wings, tied to Hog's dragon horns to control its flight direction. Under his control, Hog's body flipped and turned, constantly dodging the World Mushroom's mycelium tentacles and the Holy Tree Sprite behind it.

"Ah? We're already there?" Hearing Richard's voice, Ulysses was surprised and stopped controlling Hog.

The World Mushroom and the Holy Tree Sprite also stopped.

Richard glared at him, "It's been almost ten years, and you think it's fast?"

"Ah? It's been almost ten years?" Ulysses scratched his head awkwardly, "Staying in the Mystic Realm for so long, I almost forgot about time."

Hearing that it was time for battle, Richard's Fire Lizard Corps immediately stopped training.

"Sir, are we going to battle?" The first company commander of the corps came to Richard and asked.

Richard shook his head, "No, you'll have to wait a bit."

If nothing unexpected happened, the next battle would likely be a big one, and they might face a group of natives wielding advanced weapons. In such a situation, a five-hundred-man corps wouldn't be of much use; they would just be cannon fodder. He had spent so much Magic Essence, not to produce a batch of cannon fodder.

After pulling Ulysses and Hog out of the Mystic Realm, Richard went to the lower levels of the Floating City. On the way, he picked up some Third Circle wizard-exclusive equipment from the logistics department. Besides some functional magic potions and Magic Equipment, the most important item was a specially made crystal ball. Through this crystal ball, Richard could directly contact the command center and issue emergency summons, a privilege only Third Circle wizards had.

Arriving at the airship level, Richard's newly acquired crystal ball transmitted a command from the command center.

[Wizard Richard, please proceed to Airship 35]

Richard wandered around the airship level and quickly found Airship 35. As soon as he entered the airship, he heard a few exclamations.

"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?" Richard looked at the wizards who made the sounds and saw them looking at him with reverence, performing a Wizard Salute.

"Master, we are from the Far North City."

"Oh~" Richard suddenly understood. His Far North City had been established for so many years, and it must have produced many wizards. It's just that he had been focused on his research and never paid attention to this aspect. In fact, nearly half of the wizard apprentices in the current Galon Wizard Academy came from Richard's jurisdiction.

Even in a fantasy world, basic laws apply. In Richard's city, even the poorest residents could have food to eat and a place to live. In contrast, tribes in the wild could lose many members to a single snowstorm if they were unlucky. Under such conditions, having only half of the wizard apprentices from Richard's jurisdiction was already a testament to the unique circumstances of the fantasy world.

Richard shrugged and said lightly, "Don't get so excited. We're all wizards from the same academy; it's normal to meet during a Plane Expedition."

Although Richard said this, his image had already been packaged by the Miracle Order as a saint descending to the mortal world. Even though these wizards had been educated in the wizard academy, due to their childhood influences, they still held great reverence for this figure they had heard about since they were young.

These wizards secretly communicated with mental messages, guessing Richard's circle level, but soon they didn't need to guess anymore. Because a Second Circle wizard performed a Wizard Salute to Richard.

[Attention all wizards, attention all wizards]

[The Floating City is about to break through the World Barrier, the Floating City is about to break through the World Barrier]

[All wizards, prepare for war!]

As the somewhat cold voice from the command center disappeared from the crystal ball, Richard suddenly felt a powerful pressure, as if he was squeezing into something. This was a sign of the Floating City breaking through the World Barrier. But this time, the pressure lasted longer than any previous expedition he had participated in.

Ten minutes later, the powerful pressure disappeared, and Richard breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the other wizards in the airship and saw that several Second Circle wizards were sweating profusely, while the First Circle wizards were pale, with many fainting. Seeing Richard's calm expression, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

Richard looked at the unconscious wizards and casually ordered, "Wake up those who fainted."

"Yes," (in unison)

With the small episode over, Richard began waiting for the intelligence broadcast from the command center. Normally, the slave legions would have been deployed by now. The massive number of slaves would consume the natives' first wave of attacks and gather intelligence for the wizards. But this time, the broadcast from the command center was delayed.

Richard frowned, looking at the communication crystal ball he had picked up from the logistics department, thinking, "Huh? Is my crystal ball malfunctioning?"

But before he could try to fix it, a command came from the crystal ball.

[This world is temporarily named Green Forest World, with a magic concentration ten times that of the Wizard World, balanced four-element rules, and special rules yet to be discovered]

[All airships, launch]

"Ah?"

Richard looked at the crystal ball in astonishment. He could understand the first piece of information, but the second one left him utterly confused. They had just entered the world; why were they launching airships already? He looked around and saw that the other wizards were equally bewildered. Clearly, none of them had seen this situation before.

"Was the command wrong?" a wizard asked uncertainly.

But after transmitting the command, the crystal ball fell silent, which didn't seem like a mistaken command.

The airship level's hatch slowly opened, and war airships poured out of the Floating City like a school of sharks in the sea. As they emerged outside the Floating City, Richard finally understood why the command center had issued such an order.

Outside the Floating City, everything was peaceful, with none of the enemies they had expected.
