Chapter 551: Chapter 389: Second Circle of the Legendary Task
In the Floating City,
Joyce looked at Lis and said with a smile,
“Little Lis, even with the help of that black cat, you still need to be careful.”
“After all, this is the Floating City, where anything could happen.”
“Don’t worry, Uncle Joyce.”
Lis nodded seriously.
...
Since the black cat had successfully taken control of the Azela Great Library, Lis had fallen in love with this place.
Even without considering those legendary magic books, the ability to freely borrow from the First to the Ninth Circle magic books was a treasure for Lis.
Lis briefly flipped through and found that most of the magic books in the Azela Great Library were explorations of the magical path by the mages from the Neserel Magic Empire.
It was an era of flourishing magic in the Gaia World, where mages, represented by the Arcanists, sparked brilliance in a collision of ideas and knowledge.
These magic books, which recorded the wisdom of predecessors, not only contained records of relevant magical knowledge but also included many explorations and considerations of the path ahead in magic.
Although, to the present Lis, over half of the magical knowledge in the library had been either validated or proven to be erroneous, the creativity and imagination recorded therein truly benefited Lis greatly.
Since the affairs of his estate were mostly well arranged, Lis planned to stay in this Floating City for a short while, absorbing nutrients from the magic library in front of him.
Joyce initially wanted to stay with Lis, but was refused by him.
After all, Uncle Joyce had already shown him around the Floating City, pointing out areas that needed attention.
Where the dangers were and which places needed caution had all been part of the experiences passed down by the elders of the Kane family.
But now, Lis, whose strength surpassed those of the Kane family’s elders, wouldn’t encounter any danger in this Floating City as long as he was careful.
Moreover, since he planned to stay here for a long time, it wouldn’t be appropriate for Uncle Joyce to keep him company.
“Alright, then I’ll return to Danerluo Port.”
Seeing that Lis insisted, Joyce didn’t mind and nodded.
Joyce was well aware of Lis’s strength and since Lis had mastered Space Transmission, returning to Danerluo Port was easy for him, thus he didn’t need to accompany Lis back.
There was nothing for him to do here anyway, so he might as well go back to Danerluo Port to help Lis look after things.
Although Lis had previously cleared and arranged a team to continue the work on his estate, he couldn’t rule out the possibility of someone with ulterior motives stirring trouble in the short term.
However, the recruited Bernal was working hard; those old nobles from Bodich, who were with him, were closely monitored by his appointed men to prevent any mischief.
Lis watched as Joyce’s figure flashed and turned into a Shadow before disappearing in front of him, knowing that Uncle Joyce had left.
“Phew~”
Lis stretched his arms and continued to flip through the magic book in his hands, “Multiple Advanced Routes of the Fireball Technique”.
This was one of the advanced magic books specifically selected by Lis; it contained various enhancement and strengthening ideas for the Fireball Technique, along with several mid-to-high level spells developed based on the Fireball Technique.
After all, Lis was also skilled in this area; the arcane “Blue Ball Skill,” “Lis’s Blue Flame Magic Sword,” and “Lis’s Blue Flame Nova” he had developed based on the Fireball Technique were also quite practical.
This magic book provided Lis with many new ideas, proving to be very valuable for him.
In the following days, Lis spent most of his time holed up in the Great Library, browsing various magic books and absorbing knowledge.
Sometimes, when he felt bored or came up with new ideas, Lis would venture into the Floating City to find some Elemental Magic Statues to practice with.
The black cat, initially enthusiastic about controlling the Water Element Demon Statue to spar with Lis, decisively refused Lis’s follow-up requests after being thoroughly beaten.
The patrolling Elemental Magic Statues suffered at the hands of Lis.
With Lis’s increasing strength and familiarity with the battle methods of Elemental Magic Statues, they often ended up dismantled into pieces before other demon statues could provide support.
Lis had also observed that—as Uncle Joyce had said—these destroyed demon statues would be collected by other demon statues and taken to the Magic Statue Workshop within the Floating City.
This place, resembling a castle-like square building with gray walls, was slightly different from the surrounding structures.
This location, known as the Magic Statue Workshop, occasionally emitted rumbling sounds, though it was unclear what was happening inside.
However, Lis often saw quite a few Elemental Magic Statues emerging from this building, as well as some that appeared to be damaged entering it.
Perhaps that was why it was referred to as the Magic Statue Workshop by Joyce?
Although curious, Lis gazed at the ten-meter-tall Water Element Demon Statue standing outside the Magic Statue Workshop, its body shimmering in blue, and didn’t even think about getting close.
That was a Legendary Magic Statue; it simply wasn’t worth risking his life.
While he considered himself to be among the top in the Gold level, he saw no difference in facing a being of the Legendary level.
This was something Uncle Joyce had specifically warned him about; it was better not to mess with those Legendary Magic Statues.
…
Several days later, in the outskirts of the Floating City.
“Phew~”
“Finally completed it.”
Lis looked at the completed series of tasks on the system panel and remarked with relief.
