Chapter 1065 - 626
Kane Floating City,
The negotiations between Lis and Oriolan went smoothly, as both sides got what they needed.
Lis received tangible benefits, including the supply of extraordinary materials from the Star Ring and the support of high-circle mages.
Members of the Pan-Continent Mage Association are mostly mage professionals, aside from some special cases.
Only mages above the Sixth Circle can be called high-circle mages, and all high-circle mages are basically gold-rank spellcasters or silver-rank spellcasters who have advanced due to unique talents.
As a Legendary Rank figure, Lis automatically became a councilman of the Legendary Council upon joining the Pan-Continent Mage Association.
If Lis had the ambition, he could also use this as an opportunity to start building his own faction within the Pan-Continent Mage Association.
The numerous schools within the Pan-Continent Mage Association emerged and thrived over time in this manner.
However, Lis did not have any related ideas in the short term; otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to collaborate with the Star Ring.
One of the three councilmen, [Judgement Flame] Stephens, is Lis’s teacher, providing him with support, but also imposing an additional restriction.
Because of the presence of [Judgement Flame], if Lis truly involved himself in the internal affairs of the Pan-Continent Mage Association, he would receive some initial advantages, but he would also attract early attention, making it difficult to quietly develop his forces.
After all, everyone knows that unless certain sensitive matters are involved, the three councilmen, even the most frequently seen [Star Realm Weaver] Akanshas Talindra, do not interfere in these matters.
Collaborating with the Star Ring is the most suitable choice for Les at this time.
However, this does not mean that Lis would feel completely at ease and fully trust Oriolan.
For Lis, aside from Mr. Stephens, Uncle Joyce, Taya, Risa, Mora, and a few others, no one would earn his complete trust.
Therefore, to eliminate some potential future risks, Lis also needed to take some preventative measures in advance.
...
"Here are the four Elemental Towers of Kane Floating City."
Lis stood in front of the Wind Element Tower, pointing at it as he spoke to Oriolan.
"Truly, it’s the crowning achievement of the Neserel Magic Empire!"
Looking at the tower before him, filled with vast elemental magic power, Oriolan expressed his admiration:
"Each floating city is a unique existence; your Kane Floating City and the two controlled by the council each have their own characteristics!"
Lis nodded with a smile.
After reaching a collaboration, as part of the agreement, Oriolan naturally had to understand the current status of Kane Floating City.
Lis took Oriolan around for a tour of the floating city.
The more Oriolan saw, the more joyous he became.
Before coming to Kane Floating City, he didn’t know its full capabilities; it wasn’t until now that he understood the city’s most outstanding feature was its enhancement of elemental magic power.
This was highly beneficial for mages skilled in shape power series spells.
Within the Pan-Continent Mage Association, the strongest mage schools are the Tower of Burning Embers, specializing in shape power series spells; the Secret Meeting of Ten Thousand Forms, specializing in transformation magic; and the Lie Cocoon, specializing in confusion control magic.
For most mages, the most easily mastered and the most evidently powerful spell type is the shape power series.
This is one of the reasons why the Tower of Burning Embers has the most members and the greatest strength.
The Secret Meeting of Ten Thousand Forms and the Lie Cocoon can compete with the Tower of Burning Embers because the two floating cities controlled by the Pan-Continent Mage Association enhance transformation magic and confusion control magic, respectively.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that floating cities offer no enhancements to other types of spells; it’s just that the enhancement for these particular spell practices is the most prominent.
The starlight spells that the mages of the Star Ring are skilled in, although relatively niche, also fall under the shape power series spell category, allowing Kane Floating City to offer considerable benefit to Star Ring mages.
Oriolan felt somewhat relieved that members of the Tower of Burning Embers were unaware of the real situation at Kane Floating City; otherwise, he might not have been able to compete with them.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you inside to have a look."
Lis glanced at Oriolan with a smile, controlled the opening of the Elemental Tower’s door, and led Oriolan inside.
As they stepped into the Wind Element Tower, an extremely dense wind element magic power instantly enveloped Oriolan, making him feel as if he had stepped into a world woven purely of Wind Elements.
The tower’s interior was spacious and mysterious, with an air of fresh and slightly cool fragrance, the unique charm of Wind Elements.
The walls were adorned with intricate and exquisite wind element magic patterns, shimmering brightly as if they were alive. These patterns seemed to possess life, swaying gently with the breeze and releasing waves of energy, continually guiding the vast magic power from the Wind Element Plane, soothing the violent wind elements into easily absorbable elemental magic power for the mages.
Oriolan looked up; the top of the tower seemed to connect with the real sky outside. In the boundless blue, one could vaguely see a vortex formed by wind elements, slowly rotating and emitting a heart-pounding energy, compelling one to feel the rhythm and strength of the Wind Elements.
