Bloodline of the Wizard-Chapter 283 - 147 Mirror Lake, Gathering_2

"Kosti."

The middle-aged man with golden pocket watch eyes approached Kosti, standing shoulder to shoulder with her at the bow of the ship, and asked her in a gentle tone.

"Why don’t I see anyone from the Seventh Magic Rings this time?

I heard that you recently discovered a youngster with decent Talent, possessing the bloodline of an Ancient Wizard... as well as Clements, he too, is fully qualified to enter the First Core Secret Realm to explore..."

"He is still weak, only just advanced to Level 2, all his strength is supported by his bloodline, the First Core Secret Realm isn’t suitable for him.

As for Clements...."

Kosti pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Carol deliberately transferred him to the Second Core Area, for this Caroni even gave a piece of Earth Core Crystal as compensation..."

"Caroni deliberately moved Clements to the second tier?"

The middle-aged man in the opulent robe slightly frowned, the golden light from the pocket watch runes in his eyes rapidly flickering.

"Yes, exploring the Second Core Area is led by him, perhaps he has some other plans that require the use of Clements..."

Kosti answered.

The middle-aged man nodded, not continuing on this topic. With hands behind his back, he and Kosti together gazed down upon the deck at a group of Magic Ring geniuses.

Both of their gazes were mostly focused on one young man with golden short hair, whose brilliance was dazzling.

The middle-aged man’s eyes occasionally showed emotions like admiration, satisfaction, and commendation, while Kosti, looking at the young man’s figure, had more of a certain nostalgia in her eyes.

"Orian has grown so fast, when he first came to me to learn about Alchemy, he had just advanced to Level 2, it feels like only yesterday.

In a blink of an eye, he is about to reach a height similar to ours..."

The middle-aged man uttered a sigh of emotion, "The bloodline Talent of the Silvester family is perfectly manifested in him. Although he is not yet fifty years old, his foundation is as solid and stable as those old Wizards who have been diligently studying for three or four hundred years.

This time, during the exploration of the Mirror Garden, I have high hopes that he could compete with the twins from the Thunder Council and the Crimson Tower..."

Kosti silently listened to the middle-aged man’s words, yet her mind seemed entirely off the point of "Orian," and instead, as the other party’s sigh came to a close, she blurted out a sentence seemingly unrelated to the topic.

"It has been one hundred and twenty-one years since the discovery of the Mirror Garden..."

The middle-aged man was taken aback, turned to look at her, he seemed to realize something, and said quietly: "Are you thinking of Sherby again?"

"Every night when the stars fade, I remember him. If the Mirror Garden had been unearthed a year earlier, would he have not left the Magic Rings, in search of the so-called higher path..."

"No, you’re wrong, Kosti." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

The middle-aged man shook his head, "Sherby’s disposition ensured he would never stay in one place for too long, there is nothing in this world that can hold him back.

What he yearns for is not just strength, but also all things that he wanted to obtain but never did...

With or without the Mirror Garden’s existence, he would have left us..."

Kosti fell silent for a while, then at last spoke in a low voice, "But I can’t wait any longer, the Soul lamp he left me when he departed is nearing extinguishment.

At most another ten years, I must leave the Magic Rings to follow the path he once took, until I find him..."

The middle-aged man said no more, the golden pocket watch in his eyes made a "tick-tock" sound of faint rotation, and after a long while, he slowly exhaled a long sigh.

...

"It’s time for us to board the ship."

Clements reminded Ronan, taking the lead and flying towards the second giant Magic Airship that began to glow.

Ronan also received a notification from the Magic Ring at the same time, informing him that he had indeed been included in the list of explorers for the Second Battlefield.

The number of wizards heading to the Mirror Garden for the second expedition was significantly more than the first, but it was still a rare honor considering the overall base number.

Ronan counted, including himself, only thirty-six people from the Silver Magic Ring were qualified to board the second Magic Airship, averaging merely five people per Magic Ring.

Apart from him and Clements, only one wizard from the Seventh Magic Ring was conscripted, a Talent who ranked just after Clements. Even someone like Lanni did not qualify, and they were all assigned to the Third Battlefield.

It was clear that the exploration of the Mirror Garden Secret Realm was of a high standard; the more stringent the division, the greater the protection for the wizards from the major forces.

Those from the First Ring, Second Circle, or even the average Third Ring members were likely to miss the chance to enter first, having to wait until the second or even the third group before having a real opportunity to explore the core areas of the Mirror Garden.

As Ronan boarded the ship with Clements, he, as usual, attracted a batch of extra "attentive" gazes.

The Strength he displayed on the surface always seemed to be a "flaw," making him feel as though he was a "Husky" among a pack of wolves.

Only the wizards from the Seventh Magic Ring knew his true capacity. After the trial selection battle, his name caused a stir in the Seventh Magic Ring City.

But that was limited to the Seventh Magic Ring City. Few people from outside that region had heard of him.

This was also related to the Seventh Magic Ring’s position at the end of all the Magic Rings. If he had made his name in the First Magic Ring, perhaps the other six Rings would also be aware of him.

The leader of the second large Magic Airship was also a Ring Lord Level figure, wrapped in a majestic energy Field, making Ronan unable to see his exact appearance. He could only sense that he was a male with a more imposing stature than most.

The second Magic Airship also began to launch quickly, the body of the ship emanating dazzling light, abruptly blurring and distorting, before breaking through the sky and swiftly flying in a certain direction.

In a direction completely opposite to the one Orian and the others had departed in, Ronan was slightly surprised but then received an explanation from Clements, "There are three entrances to the core area of the Mirror Garden. We finally found the entrance leading to the deepest part of the core after using three Nephilim’s Keys.

We are now heading to one of them, which is far from the other two."

Ronan understood.

For the Mirror Garden that specialized in Space Magic, this was a standard operation.

In terms of Space, what is a true difference in position, a sense of distance?

Two doors, one in the far south and one in the far north; upon entering, you find they lead to the same place... nothing could be more normal.

This was definitely the fastest Magic Airship Ronan had ever ridden, worthy of being one of the foundations of the Silver Magic Ring.

In less than two hours of breaking through the sky, the airship slowed down and finally stopped over a super massive lake.

If Ronan hadn’t had exceptional eyesight, barely glimpsing the edge of the lake, he would have mistaken it for the sea.

Mirror Lake.

The whole vast lake, like the sea, had no ripples or waves, the lake appeared a strange, dim silver color. Living creatures were present but all resided below the surface, unable to leap out, as if there was a mirror separating the outer world from what was inside.

After the airship stopped, no one notified them to disembark, so Ronan and Clements stood on the edge of the ship observing the other directions.

There were more than just one Wizard Ship hovering over the Mirror Lake; there were three others, each from different Wizard Forces.

"Black Nightmare Swamp, Thorny Palace, Melt Crystal Lake..."

Clements used his hand to point out to Ronan the three distinct Wizard Forces, his brows slightly furrowed as he whispered, "Why don’t I see ships from the Crimson Tower and the Thunder Council..."

Ronan’s gaze constantly swept across the three major Wizard Forces’ airships, most of which lingered on the Black Nightmare Swamp.

Because Angelie was a member of the Black Nightmare Swamp, and he would undoubtedly not miss this exploration, though it was unclear if he would be in the Second Battlefield.

The Wizard Ship of Black Nightmare Swamp had a distinctive Black Witch Land style; the entire ship resembled a construction of countless bones of various sizes with a massive skull of an unknown creature at the bow, exuding billowing black smoke, even the light from the Rune Formation was dark green.
