Inside the study.

Stephen took out a strange diamond-shaped crystal and handed it to the Void Master in front of him.

Master Void stretched out his hand and took a look, there were many mysterious runes on this strange diamond-shaped crystal, distributed along the six corners, he looked up at Stephen and wondered, "Your Excellency Stephen." What is this?"

"Space Marker Stone. ”

Stephen said slowly: "With it, I can lock the spatial road marker at any time for teleportation, and if you need my help, you can activate it with energy." I'll get there as soon as possible. ”

"You go first in this operation. ”

"I've got a few things to take care of here, and I'll be there. ”

Hearing this, Master Xuan nodded and said, "Won't Your Excellency set off together?" Okay, I'll use it to contact you if there's something." “

The planning map for the first phase of the floating city is almost complete.

In particular, the transformation progress of elemental fusion has entered the final stage, and if the virtual master brings back not enough manpower this time, Stephen naturally needs to set off together. But now that there were three or four legendary powerhouses, there was no need for Stephen to waste time on the road, just wait until the Void Master and his party arrived at their destination, and then he would directly teleport over. Because the Stargate of the Floating Tower has been upgraded, it is currently about version 1.5, although the rainbow bridge has not been activated to upgrade to version 2.0, but if you have the space road marker, Stephen can still teleport to any place on this planet.

There are a lot of things going on in Arrantiel at the moment, and Stephen is definitely going to stay for a while.

"That's right. ”

Stephen thought for a moment, got up and said, "I'll take you to see something." ”

With that, he walked straight towards the botanical garden.

Looking at Stephen's solemn appearance, Master Void also followed with a serious expression.

This time when he returned to the Five Rings Tower, according to Stephen's agreement with Witch Liana, he must have brought her over to meet His Royal Highness Betty, otherwise he would definitely be annoyed by the fairy witch. Since it was decided to reveal a little bit about the Tree of Life, there would be no problem in letting the Void Master take a look.

At least it can appease the morale of the army, if the "Death Scroll" is not found, the Void Master will not be too stressed.

Inside the Botanical Gardens.

When the Void Master came here, he looked ahead suspiciously, because of the existence of the Lost Lock, he couldn't see anything at all, and everything in front of him was an empty illusion.

Stephen picked up the staff and tapped it lightly, and then the Void Master standing next to him couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise.

The surprised appearance of the Void Master is rare.

I only heard him mutter, "This powerful breath of life! This is ...... It's ......"

"That's right. Stephen nodded calmly and said, "This is the legendary Tree of Life." Treasures I found in other worlds. ”

The Void Master looked shocked, then turned around and looked curiously at the flowers next to him, many little fairies were hiding in it, although the Void Master was a righteous spirit, but these little fairies had a worse attitude towards him than they did towards Stephen, almost shrunk in it and did not come out.

"Flower goblins. ”

"They're timid. Don't worry too much about them. Stephen said softly.

After speaking, he pointed to the Tree of Life in front of him and said, "Although this time we set out to find the Death Scroll is a way to deal with the Death Omen Star. But don't worry too much if you don't find the Void Master. ”

"If this Tree of Life can grow, we may not be able to confront the Death Omen Star head-on!"

"And His power has the potential to revive the Moon!"

"Still. ”

"He is still too weak. The Death Omen Star must not be discovered, so I sealed this place with a mystery. ”

Master Void had a suddenly realized expression, and said solemnly: "I see. Your Excellency is indeed a little inseparable. Such an important thing must be in charge of your own person to rest assured. ”

"Can I get a closer look at Him?"

Stephen nodded yes.

Master Void cautiously took a few steps forward, and then couldn't help but close his eyes and perceive it, and said with a little excitement: "What a powerful force of nature!"

"This divine power is close to a demigod!"

Stephen stood next to him and didn't explain, in fact, what the Void Master sensed was the power of Queen Betty, and the true power of the Tree of Life had not yet awakened. The Void Master seems to think that Stephen stayed here to protect the Tree of Life, but there is no need to explain these things, Stephen does have this consideration for spending more time in the Wizarding Tower, because the next time Queen Betty wakes up, the Tree of Life should react in tune with her, and at that time there will be a large-scale explosion of the forces of nature.

"The tree of life, fully grown, is comparable to the true God. Stephen said slowly, "The most important thing is that he can curb the corrupting power of the ancient evils. ”

But now we must provide enough nourishment for Him to grow. ”

It is a bit difficult for one person to make offerings to the tree of life.

Stephen didn't necessarily bring the Void Master over without the help of his powers, and it wasn't clear what the conditions were needed for the Tree of Life to grow, but it could be seen that he was quite hungry for energy and divinity.

With the current strength of the Void Master, it can help Stephen relieve a lot of pressure.

The Void Master looked at the Tree of Life in front of him and sighed, "It's a pity that His Excellency Alondo-Shepherd didn't come. He would be glad to see this. ”

Druid?

Stephen had a thoughtful look on his face.

When it comes to caring for the Tree of Life, the Druid is indeed much more qualified than a wizard like him. Looks like there's time to meet Lord Alendo-Shepherd.

The next morning.

Stephen took Master Void and his party to the Fifth Ring Tower.

The academy is still the same, but because of the change of a chief wizard, Eve Witch's ruling style tends to be conservative, and the people in the academy are currently busy reinforcing the defensive locks of the Five Rings Tower. The camp in the Nightmare Realm has basically been abandoned, and the ancient ruins have stopped exploring, and only the secret realm under the sea is still guarded by a lot of people. Witch Eve is focused on making potions, and it seems that she wants to use the resources available to raise a new generation of wizards as much as possible. The wizards of the Elemental Pool are currently a bit of a demoralizer, the Five Rings Tower has fully opened the ecological garden, and at the same time, under the leadership of the chief witch Eve, some of the academy's higher-ups are studying how to obtain the abilities of the dragon vein.

But so far, nothing has been achieved, only a lot of resources for other wizards have been increased.

"Lord Stephen!"

"Mentor Stephen!"

Along the way, people continued to lean over towards Stephen, and many wizards looked at the people behind the Void Master with curious eyes, many of whom were seeing the rumored halfling for the first time.

Halflings have not yet been seen on the continent near the Black Sea, and only a few have been encountered on the Quarter Moon so far.

"Your Excellency Stephen. Who is this?" Near the Observatory, Stephen met the Wizard Eden of the Elemental Pool, and his gaze swept to Lilia, and he was amazed by the rich power of the fire elemental on the immortal bird.

At present, the inheritance of the elemental pool is mainly the cultivation method of the earth and fire two systems, which has a complete inheritance and can be cultivated all the way to the high-level legend and above.

Why did Wizard Victor increase his strength faster than Winter Witch?

The reason is simple.

In addition to the fact that he has more resources, the methods he cultivates are all guided by the notes of the former chief wizard all the way, as if he is holding a book of martial arts secrets and cultivating against him. But the Winter Witch is a little different, the cultivation method of the elemental pool does not have ice elementalization, she is equivalent to creating her own exercises to find a way to advance to a high-level legend, so her ascension speed is much slower, but her strength may be a little stronger after success.

The original Wizard of Eden felt like a solid rock, but now he looked like a volcano about to erupt.

No doubt!

He has obtained a resource tilt from the elemental pool, and has begun to cultivate the 'power of lava' to re-elementalize his body, and it seems that the upper echelons of the academy are preparing for him to replace the seat of council vacated by wizard Victor.

"Your Excellency Stephen. ”

"My mentor wants to see you. The figure of Eyer-Akasha appeared, looking a little anxious.

Stephen nodded to the person next to him, then walked over and said, "What's going on?"

Eyer-Akasha glanced around and whispered, "Something happened over there in the Garo Continent. The Blood Serpent God, Haka, seems to have been resurrected. The current situation in Silvertop City is not good. ”

Blood Serpent God?

The Quetzalcoatl God corrupted by an ancient evil?

Stephen couldn't help frowning and said softly, "Did you tell the House Council about this?"

"Not yet. Insight Akasha said, "Last time, the Academy Council didn't get along very well with Silverdome City. The tutor told me not to tell anyone in the academy yet. ”

Prophet - Ankara.

The current relationship between this powerful high-ranking legendary witch and the Five Rings Tower is somewhat ambiguous, and she may be closer to Stephen, but she is a little detached from the Five Rings Tower. To be honest, Stephen couldn't guess the prophecy witch's thoughts, because he didn't know what was going on in the other party's mind.

"I'll go see her in a moment. Stephen said slowly.

No matter what the other party thinks, there must be something to ask for to see yourself at this time, she also helped a lot last time she dealt with the Eye of Death, if it wasn't very troublesome, Stephen would consider helping.

Botanical garden.

Stephen first returned to his lodgings, where Liana Witch and the twin sisters were gone, and only Jacob was tending to the slime monsters, which seemed to be more numerous than before.

Jacob's strength has improved a lot recently, and it looks like he's almost getting promoted to an official wizard.

But maybe it's because without those lively and cute little fairies, the whole botanical garden looks a little empty, and there is a lot less laughter, and even the Pippi are a little listless. In the past, they could also bully the little fairies, although they would be beaten by Queen Betty later, but it was also quite interesting.

But now the little fairies are gone.

Jacob, who had been bullied by them a lot, became more and more powerful, and the Peeves found that they were now a little too much to beat, and they couldn't help but feel that life was very bleak, hopeless, and fun.

But fortunately, there are a lot of slime monsters in the botanical garden recently, and they have more or less a target to bully.

Stephen took the time to instruct Jacob, and by the way, he left a little homework for his named apprentices, who were not the same as Miss Fran, who was Stephen's focus on cultivating. The academy depends on their potential, and if anyone can be promoted to a full-fledged wizard, Stephen will teach them seriously.

About half an hour later.

Stephen went directly to the residence of Akasha the Insight, who currently lives with her disciples, the powerful prophet who rarely travels out on weekdays and rarely interacts with the people of the Five Ring Towers.

in the room.

When Stephen arrived, both the Insight Akhasha and the Prophet Ankara were already waiting here.

After seeing his figure, the prophet-Ankara couldn't help but stand up and said: "Your Excellency Stephen. You're finally here. ”

Stephen glanced at her and said, "Isn't the situation over there in Silvertop City bad?"

"Hmm. The Prophet Ankara nodded and said softly, "The Blood Serpent God-Haka has awakened. And there seem to be signs of a flood of monsters on the Garo Continent. The council of Silverdome City was already disheartened and internally divided, and now the situation is very bad. ”

"Really?" Stephen nodded thoughtfully, "So what are you going to do? Honestly, even I can't help with this kind of thing, right?"

Silverdome City is far away on the continent of Galo.

Moreover, the people of the Five Rings Tower did not get along with them very well, and the people of the Voodoo and Cursed Schools were very unfriendly, and Stephen did not want to do thankless things at all.

"It has nothing to do with them. ”

The Prophet-Ankara glanced at Stephen and paused, "I'm actually worried about my disciples. ”

Witches of the School of Prophecy?

Hearing the other party's words, Stephen's expression couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, it was he who proposed to dig the foot of the wall to win over the insight-Akasha, at that time, some witches followed Akasha to join the Five Rings Tower, while another part of the witches of the Prophecy School seemed to remain in Silvertop City.

Are they the ones Ankara is worried about?

If it's just these prophetic witches, then there's no big problem!

The Fifth Ring Tower could easily accommodate these people.

As if guessing Stephen's thoughts, the prophet Ankara suddenly said, "Your Excellency Stephen! It may be a bit presumptuous to say this! But I don't want those disciples of mine to join the Five Rings Tower!"

Hearing her words, Akasha next to her couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment.

Probably because the original prophecy was wrong, she had a trace of doubt in her heart at that time, so she chose to join the Five Ring Tower. But there are still many witches throughout the Prophecy School who believe in Ankara, and these people have chosen to stay in Silverdome City and wait for her return.

This is a bit delicate about the relationship between master and apprentice, and I am afraid that there is still a blood relationship based on the appearance.

Stephen hadn't asked much, but he could feel it.

Their relationship is intimate, but there is a little contradiction, but they don't ask what it is because they don't know each other very well.

"Don't want to join the Five Rings Tower?" Stephen cupped his chin in thought.

At present, those witches of the Prophecy School who stayed in Silvertop City may not be in a good situation, they have a bad relationship with the Voodoo School, the Curse School and the Transformation School, and Ankara is not currently in the Galo Continent, these witches may be suppressed very badly.

Prophet Ankara glanced at Stephen and said slowly, "His Excellency Stephen also has the power to cultivate himself, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken. ”

"There seems to be Your Excellency's Wizard Tower in the Barrens, or is it an organization loyal to you?"

Stephen glanced up at her and said lightly, "Yes." ”

Ankara, the prophet, walked up to Stephen and said with a solemn expression: "I wonder if Your Excellency Stephen is willing to accept these disciples of mine?"

"They're all witches with a lot of potential. ”

"I can definitely help you. ”

Yes?

Stephen glanced at the prophet - Ankara in surprise and did not seem to expect the other party to say this at all.

Reluctant to join the Five Ring Towers?

But willing to join his personal wizarding tower?

What is this line of thinking?

In any case, the strength of the Five Rings Tower must be stronger than his personal wizard tower, right?

Worried about being excluded?

Or is it something else?

Stephen hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Why did you make this request? Isn't the Five Ring Tower more suitable for accepting these witches?"

"I don't trust the Five Rings Tower. The prophet-Ankara made no secret of it: "In fact. I've never trusted the wizards of the Black Coast. And in the future I see, the Five Rings Tower should be destroyed by the invasion of ancient evils. ”

"Akasha's choice to join the Five Rings Tower is her personal choice, but I don't want those disciples to join the Five Rings Tower. ”

"And they don't want to deal with dark wizards. ”

"But I trust Your Excellency Stephen. ”

"Your Excellency is a person outside of fate, and it should be a better choice for these disciples of mine to follow Your Excellency. ”

After listening to the words of the prophet - Ankara, Stephen hesitated.

Do you want to accept these prophetic witches?

At present, the membership structure of the Wizarding Tower is very simple, but all of them are people that Stephen can trust, and he is able to achieve complete control of the entire Wizarding Tower. However, if these prophetic witches are accepted, then there is a bit of instability in everything, but these witches are very valuable, and they can quickly fill the void of the lack of official wizards in the floating tower.

The point is that Stephen does not know what the prophet - Ankara really thinks!

If these witches are allowed to join the Floating Tower, then will they listen to Stephen in the future, or will they listen to the prophet - Ankara?

This must be carefully considered!

As if guessing Stephen's concerns, the prophet Ankara said softly: "I know the concerns in the heart of His Excellency Stephen. If Lord Stephen doesn't mind, I can join your wizarding tower to serve you. ”

Yes!?

Next to the two men, Eyer-Akasha's mouth opened wide in surprise.

She had no idea that her mentor would suddenly make such an astonishing decision! Could it be that in her opinion, Stephen alone was worth more than the entire Five Rings Tower?
