Chapter 236: Divine Tower of Verdant Flame
This considerable duration showed just how immense the main continent of the Magus World was.
During their flight, Sein, under Lorianne’s guidance, witnessed many of the Magus World’s unique marvels, including numerous divine towers and orders of the knights scattered across the landscape.
He encountered dozens of divine towers on their journey, each a towering building with distinct color and structural variations compared to the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.
Sein observed that there were notably more orders of the knights than the divine towers, possibly owing to the sheer number of knights compared to mages, or the proximity of the Ylli Knight Alliance. In fact, their numbers nearly tripled that of the divine towers.
This journey revealed to Sein the vast territories, the countless populations, and the myriad of divine towers and orders of knights that constituted the formidable Magus World.
Yet, this was only a glimpse into the internal powers of the Magus World.
Beyond the eastern, northern, western, and southern regions lay even more astonishing forces of the knights and mages.
“The Sky City is near the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame. Perhaps we can take a tour there after visiting your grandmaster. It’s a sacred place for spellcasters of the Magus World, particularly those specializing in elemental magic, housing over seventy percent of the Magus World’s wisdom crystals.
“Aside from Sky City, there are many other renowned locations in our Magus World. You’ll find it more enlightening to explore these places yourself in the future rather than just hearing about them from me,” Lorianne suggested.
“Yes,” Sein responded respectfully.
During their flight to the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame, Sein was treated to the sight of an iridescent, streaming curtain.
It was a unique natural phenomenon resulting from the interplay between the light of the Magus World and the intricate law governing the plane.
Although the concept of “law” was still a complex and distant subject for Sein, it did not diminish his enjoyment of this visual spectacle.
This streaming rainbow curtain was just one of many marvels that Sein and Lorianne witnessed on their journey.
The Magus World, with its vast diversity and intricate laws, fostered a variety of special landscapes and rare phenomena.
Lorianne shared with Sein her experience of seeing the seawater flowing against its natural current, creating an illusion where water and sky appeared to be inverted when she was traveling across the Boundless South Sea of the Magus World.
Those were truly extraordinary and mystifying sights.
Moreover, she mentioned that there were also many divine towers constructed in oceanic locations in the Magus World.
Sein’s curiosity about the Magus World grew with Lorianne’s tales, fueling his longing to explore further.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
The Divine Tower of Verdant Flame, situated amidst a cluster of active volcanoes, was located slightly to the east of the heart of the Magus Continent.
The constant eruptions of molten fire and billowing smoke painted a stark contrast to the serene setting of the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.
Despite the harsh environment, the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame operated normally.
While human nations were sparse in the vicinity, the area was rich in pyro elemental concentration.
Sein also observed that the surrounding volcanoes were home to extremely rare pyro species, which seemed to be specifically raised here.
Numerous magic initiates and even full-fledged mages frequented the volcanic clusters surrounding the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame, seeking resources pertinent to their studies and crafts.
A semi-transparent energy light curtain, barely discernible to the naked eye, enveloped the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame.
Despite being surrounded by fiery lava, the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame stood out with striking clarity, resembling a clear crystal partially submerged in a fiery sea.
Predominantly reddish in hue, the tower was an ancient and formidable structure, almost the size of three Divine Towers of Verdant Spring combined.
Apart from its location amidst a cluster of active volcanoes, Sein was equally surprised by the unexpected environment and design within the divine tower itself.
Contrary to expectations, the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame was not exclusively hospitable to pyro-type creatures.
Within the translucent energy barrier were extensive breeding areas meticulously established by the tower master, serving as vital centers for the genetic research of the mages within the Tower.
Remarkably, these breeding grounds encompassed a diverse range of ecosystems, from lush forests and sprawling plains to arid deserts and serene lakes. Sein even noticed a snowy peak of considerable height.
The caliber of such a facility within the tower hinted at the immense capabilities of a Rank Six spellcaster.
The Divine Tower of Verdant Flame was far superior to the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring in every respect.
The exact number of registered full-fledged mages in this divine tower was yet to be ascertained, but the initiates alone seemed to number over a hundred thousand.
This divine tower boasted larger structures, more extensive libraries, and a learning environment that was both highly competitive and complex.
The initiates at the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame notably surpassed those at the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring in overall quality.
Even when compared to the Divine Tower of Land Academy, which ranked first in the Regional Inter-Divine Tower Academy War for overall strength, the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame stood out as an institution of deeper heritage and strength.
According to Master Lorianne, this tower has been in existence for over a hundred thousand years, and its tower master, Lady Feylis, was among the most esteemed Rank Six experts in the Magus World.
The Divine Tower of Verdant Flame also had a strict policy where only full-fledged mages and above were permitted to fly within its premises.
As Sein and Lorianne soared above the tower, they kept their auras suppressed.
From this vantage point, they could see the bustling activity below. Initiates traversed between school buildings and libraries like ants, each immersed in their scholarly pursuits.
Lorianne shared a moment of reflection with Sein, recalling her own journey as a young mage within this tower.
The crimson majestic tower which was three times the size of the Divine Tower of Spring, boasted a staggering two thousand floors.
Upon arriving at the Divine tower of Verdant Flame, Lorianne led Sein directly to the top floor as if she were visiting her own home.
