Chapter 10: First Arrival in Ansel

"Anse Air is right in front of you, and even if it's not your first time, you'll be blown away by the city. "Charnes stood beside Edwin.

"Normally, there would be an airship field to land, and it would be a long way to get to the meeting place of the magicians. "Clara was ready to land at this point.

"You've all been here?"

Both nodded, neither of them spoke, waiting for the airship to land. Edwin looked at the towering minaret, even higher than the airship flying,

"What kind of tower is that?"

"The Tower of Babel was built during the reign of King I, and the kings of the past have strengthened and renovated it. Charnes explained to him.

After a loud roar, the airship landed on the bluestone paved ground. All the magicians stepped off the airship, and before they could say goodbye to Clara and Charns, Edwin followed Rudolph off the airship. He saw a bronze carriage in front of him, and four knights of the Holy See guarding it, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a silver-haired old man, who was signaling the two to hurry up.

Sitting in the carriage, Rudolph smiled and said to Edwin, "Guess who is sitting across from you right now?"

The silver-haired old man laughed, but didn't say anything.

"I don't know......" Edwin really didn't know who he was, and he didn't have the impression of seeing him.

"I am Abel Torres, the author of the first book of magical enlightenment you studied. Abel couldn't help but see him in the dark.

"You're Mr. Abel......" he remembered seeing that the book Rudolph had given him had opened the door to magic for him.

"How do you know I'm studying ......"

"I am also your teacher's senior brother. ”

"Edwin, if you make it to the Wizard's Academy, just listen to him. Sitting in the marching carriage, Rudolph said to him with some seriousness.

"Teacher, are you leaving?" Edwin was a little incredulous, Antonia was gone, and even his teacher was leaving?

"I can't stay with you for the rest of my life. Rudolph didn't want to see Edwin's eyes now, and turned his head away.

"We're still in the city of Ansel, and we're still a long way from the government's designated lodging for magicians. Abel said.

"Young magicians from all over the country are coming here, is Edwin looking forward to it?"

"I'm not looking forward to it, I don't fight with others. Edwin told the truth.

"Can you tell me more about Saint Crystal? ”

"Holy Crystal, it is God's legacy in this world. In ancient legends, the five gods we now believe in fought against the evil gods who are now suppressed in the endless abyss, and after the final battle, they left behind these divine energies called holy crystals, so they built the secret city of Edomanga, and the human race can send people to find it and improve itself. Abel spoke eloquently.

"What kind of gods are the evil gods?"

"Actually, you don't need to know this now, the Black Moon Demon God that you saw before is one of them. ”

"The ...... I Unleashed"

"You release only one of them as a messenger. ”

"Rudolph, you ship is very fast, and the magicians of Venlo County heard that they were attacked by those madmen on the way, and they were all wounded several times. ”

"Whose believers?"

"It's the Black Moon Cultist you just mentioned. ”

The carriage arrived at the place where the magicians had been arranged in a bumpy ride, and Abel and his party got out of the carriage with their wands. Edwin looked up at the street, which was much more prosperous than Hall City.

"You look like you're from the countryside. Rudolph scoffed,

"Don't look like you've never seen anything before. Rudolph hit him on the head.

"Mr. Abel, please come in. The knight of the guard saluted Abel.

"I arranged the accommodation, no one stayed in it. ”

"Yes, it's ready for you. ”

Abel nodded and walked in with the master and apprentice. When Edwin entered, he saw the mural carved with the battle scenes of the ancient gods sealing the demon gods.

So Borui and Georg sealed in the gears are just messengers of the demon gods, and these messengers are enough to turn the world upside down, and how earth-shattering the battle between the gods and their masters will be?

Can it still shatter the world?

Edwin shook his head, stopping his thoughts. Walking on the marble floor, the golden light hit him, giving him a sense of unreality.

"When you arrive, you can live here first, one room per person. I still have some things, so I'll go first. Abel handed the key to Rudolph and left.

"Teacher, what is Mr. Abel's identity?"

"You'll know when the time comes. Rudolph handed him the key, opened the door, and was ready to ignore him.

"Teacher......" Edwin called to him. ”

"Aren't you tired after sitting in the airship and carriage for so long?" he yawned.

"Can you accompany me to buy some magic materials?"

"I'm tired, give you money and go yourself. Rudolph gave him ten gold coins and went to sleep.

Edwin was actually a little tired, but he didn't dare to let up at the thought of competing with so many magicians in Edormana.

When I went out of the gate and saw the hustle and bustle of the streets, I felt a strong sense of unreality. There are shops of various trades, and there are many commoners and aristocrats on the streets.

The streets were crowded with people, even some orcs and elves, and there was talk of the city holding a mage exam.

"Huh?" Edwin suddenly spotted an acquaintance in the crowd, who had apparently seen him as well.

"Edwin, just arrived?" Charnes looked at him a little confused.

Edwin nodded, not saying anything.

"I'm going to buy some materials, do you want to come along?"

"Good. Edwin began to follow him, and began to look for shops selling magical materials on the street.

"Haven't you been here before?"

"Anse Air is so big, how could I have been anywhere. We are now in the North District, which is the most commercially prosperous area and the closest area to the royal district. ”

"What about the rest of the districts?"

"The eastern district is the noble and wealthy district, and the western district is the commoner district, a gathering place for the homeless and beggars. ”

"What about the Southern District?"

"The Southern District is the Military District. We're here. "Charnes and he were already at the door of the shop.

Edwin only picked out some magic materials he needed, and Charnes only picked out some magic items for daily use very efficiently.

"Do you want to see the Tower of Babel, it's not far from here. Didn't you see the top of the tower when you were on the airship before? ”

Edwin didn't understand why Charnes had so much energy, but he couldn't refuse to bring himself to buy materials.

"Good. ”

The Tower of Babel is located in the central square, and when King I built it, he said, "I want this tower to be able to keep approaching the divine realm, so that we mortals can be closer to the gods." ”

Edwin was looking up at it, the Tower of Babel, which seemed to reach to the sky, surrounded by six fountains with silver coins glittering in the sunlight.

A commotion erupted in the distance from the crowd, and it even reached them,

"Catch the thief! we have a reward for the Cavendish family!" followed by a black-robed figure in the crowd running away.

"Edwin, let's go, I know a shortcut with few people, and by the way, avoid these things. Charnes led him into a narrow, dark alleyway, and he expertly rummaged through the debris, quickly leaving Edwin behind.

Edwin was about to step over when he suddenly saw the black shadow that had been chased before rushing into the alley.

"Don't make a sound!"

He was held to his mouth by a slender white hand, and the man in the black robe was so close to him that Edwin felt like he could even touch the tip of her nose if he didn't have a hand.

As the crowd faded away, she put her hand down and said apologetically, "I'm sorry I almost got you in trouble." ”

"It's okay......"

"Edwin, why haven't you come out yet?" Channs called out to him outside the alley.

"Ang...... Right away, I'm a little unused to it. Edwin responded.

"Since you still have companions, then I'll go first, thank you. She took off her black robe, threw her blue hair away, and walked calmly out of the alley.

"Edwin, you're so slow. ”

"Not very used to walking the alleys. Edwin smiled, not saying a word about what had just happened.

"Let's go, it's almost night. ”

"Hmm. Channs, where do you live?"

"Oh, we've been accommodated at another accommodation not far from you. The government provided a total of five places to stay, and in addition to these five, she was free to find accommodation, and Clara lived with her teacher. ”

"What day does the assessment start?" he said, diverting Chans's attention from what had just happened

"Didn't your teacher tell you? After all the magicians from the thirteen counties have arrived, the next day the assessment will be announced, and the secret city will be opened the next day. ”

He ...... He didn't seem to have told me, he said someone would talk to me about it when the time came......," Edwin said helplessly.

"I'm afraid this person is me, go back, keep your spirits up, the assessment will come soon." ”

After saying goodbye to Charnes, Edwin entered his room, put down the alchemy materials in his hand, and sat down on the bed, the gear necklace on his chest began to tremble slightly. When the hand was raised, large golden runes appeared in the air,

"Let me out...... The imp ...... "He began to whisper as if reciting scriptures. He endured a sharp pain in his head, drawing the ancient knowledge of making scrolls into his mind.

"Georg, sealed by God, do you still want to come out?" Edwin hugged his head as if talking to himself on the bed.

"In the future, whenever you pull out the legacy knowledge that Gustav left you, I will keep telling you in your ear that I am right. Maybe one day, you'll drip your blood onto this damn cog. The voice in his ear began to become coherent and clear.

"Hum!" and he collapsed on the bed.

After a while, Edwin struggled to his feet and began to make ancient magic scrolls.

The Black Moon Sect, the black mist filled the surroundings, the disciples continued to praise the name of the Black Moon Demon God, and the stone pillars carved with strange patterns were crawling with dense crescent-shaped worms.

"Are you ready?" asked the masked man.

"It's all ready, and they're going to let their guard down after the previous attack. The black moon mark on the black-robed woman's face was still conspicuous.

"My arrangement was not in vain. ”

"This will be the grandest assessment, and it will also be the most painful assessment!"
