Chapter 393: 411 Let’s Begin_1
If you look up from below, it looks like a huge rock or a small mountain flying in the sky.
Underneath the bumpy, angular floating city, if you look closely, you can see many dark holes.
And within each hole, a Magic Cannon is hidden.
For Stania, these rare Magic Cannons are the most basic and outermost defense.
With a teleportation of sight, numerous Mage’s Spires can be found on this floating city.
Near the spires, there are many low, ordinary buildings, housing not only residences, but also various shops.
These shops usually sell materials or items related to Spellcasters, and the shopkeepers are usually Spellcasters as well.
However, their abilities and talents are quite average. After finding out that they can’t make it as mages, they unwillingly leave and find a livelihood here instead.
From the architectural style and the degree of decay of the outer walls, these buildings are mostly not from the same era.
Since the construction of the Stania Floating City, it has been through thousands of years and has had many changes in the ruling power.
The permanent residents here are generally powerful Spellcasters, and only those with the strongest power and the most respected status are eligible to own a Mage’s Spire for themselves.
Of course, since the spire belongs to you, you are free to handle its appearance as you please.
But you have to bear the cost yourself.
However, when the status reaches this level, they usually have no shortage of money.
These Mage’s Spire owners usually have many apprentices.
In most cases, they are the main characters in Stania.
However, now in Stania, there are some people who originally shouldn’t be here.
Mentor and Lady Bauhinia are currently being hosted here, but Mentor seems to be increasingly taking over the place.
Originally, the powerful figures in Stania were mostly old men with white beards who were obsessed with magic research, and they were not very good at political struggles against the likes of Mentor.
Moreover, this time Mentor has a tight grip on their lifeline. The white-bearded old men living in Stania were extremely unwilling to go to the Dragon Bone Wasteland to exterminate the Undead.
However, helpless as they were, they didn’t know what kind of potion Mentor gave to the current ruler of the Western Empire, but if they did not comply with Mentor’s request, the Western Empire would stop all supplies to Stania.
Although these mages had high status and were engaged in the noble research of magic every day,
all of this required a lot of money, and the white-bearded old men had no ability to make money. Their endless funding mainly relied on the gratuitous support of the Western Empire.
More importantly, without the Western Empire’s continuous supply to Stania, even the Magic Crystals that support the Floating City in the air would not be self-sufficient.
In simple terms, if Stania does not obediently listen to Mentor, it would fall from the sky like an ordinary rock.
Although the chances of this happening were not high, the white-bearded old men with high intelligence but low emotional intelligence simply couldn’t take such a threat.
So, without much effort, Mentor took control of Stania.
Of course, this was only because some of the immortals had not yet shown their faces.
At this moment, Mentor and Lady Bauhinia were at a Mage’s Spire at the edge of Stania, facing Purgatory City.
With Stania’s continuous advance, Purgatory City, which was initially just a black dot, gradually appeared in Mentor’s sight.
Seeing the familiar golden city in front of him, a cold smile spread across Mentor’s cold face.
He finally returned, back for revenge with absolute power!
Once he had destroyed Purgatory City and the damned Black Dragon with the help of Stania’s power, his next target would be Vide.
As for that bitch Angelina, he would never let her off easily!
In the darkness of his heart, Mentor had already thought of many ways to deal with Angelina.
Thinking about this, the expression on Mentor’s face became cold and fierce.
Looking at Mentor now, Lady Bauhinia’s face was full of worries.
After the last failure, Mentor seemed to have become a different person. He now not only ignored her, but his entire personality had also become cold as ice, difficult for anyone to approach.
If you stayed by his side for too long, you would feel an eerie sensation.
Aside from Lady Bauhinia, Black Rose was also here.
As for Har, due to some irresistible force, she had just been taken back by her parents not long ago.
Even now, Lady Bauhinia still felt fortunate that the girl hadn’t gotten into an accident; otherwise, the continent would have been much more lively than it is now.
Black Rose found herself in the same dilemma as Lady Bauhinia, especially now that things had come to such a critical point.
She should have contacted Gaz or Saru as soon as possible, but being in this magic city, she dared not act recklessly.
As they reached the edge of Purgatory City in this tangled state of mind, Mentor couldn’t wait to give the order to attack!
“Do we really have to listen to him?”
There were two white-bearded old men also in the Mage’s Spire, both wearing white robes. The fatter one was talking to the taller and leaner one, sounding somewhat unwilling.
The lean old man chuckled, “Just treat it like playing along with him. It’s just dealing with some Undead. As long as this matter is resolved, I don’t see any reason for them to withhold the supplies that should belong to us.”
The fat old man shrugged his shoulders, not refuting him.
In fact, for them, this was just a walk through the motions. As long as Stania had enough magic crystals, dealing with even a large number of Undead would be as simple as raising a finger and pressing a button.
“What are you procrastinating for? Don’t you want funding for your research in the future?”
“Alright, we know.”
Under Mentor’s urging, the fat old man’s fingers glowed with a strange magical light. He then rapidly slid them through the air, leaving behind a special magical rune.
Then, a unique Magic Crystal appeared before the fat old man, protected by a translucent shield that emitted a bright shimmer.
“Alright, let’s get started!”
The fat old man shook his head and then reached through the translucent shield to touch the Magic Crystal.
Next, the entire Stania Floating City began to shake constantly, as if it were experiencing an earthquake.
