Chapter 722: Chapter 443 Thunder Light Stone
The next day, under the dense cover of leaves and branches, Colin emerged from the treehouse suspended in midair.
The weather was clear today—the golden morning light streamed through the gaps in the leaves, making one feel instantly refreshed.
It must be said that, based solely on the weather, today was an excellent day for hosting celebrations.
However, the Miracle Meeting was not actually affected by the weather—it took place above the clouds.
Colin had initially been astonished by such cloud-top constructions, but by now they were no longer unfamiliar to him.
After becoming a Councilman, he had learned that above each Miracle City, there were similarly many floating buildings.
The only exception was the grand council hall where he had once met the Supreme Councilman, which stood alone.
"Good morning, Colin," Ryden, who had also just emerged from a nearby treehouse, greeted with a smile. "How was last night?"
Yesterday, when choosing where to stay, Ryden had opted to lodge near him.
In fact, Colin had chosen the treehouse because Ryden recommended it.
Ryden had mentioned it was a must-experience accommodation when visiting Pansai City.
Just as Ryden had said, Colin experienced a truly unique night.
At the canopy of the tall trees, the brown wooden house blended harmoniously with them, naturally and seamlessly.
Colin could see the special brown patterns of the ancient trees below from inside the house.
Some tender branches even grew wantonly from the windows or walls.
However, the unique appearance was just a trivial aspect of the treehouse.
The truly unique experience happened at night.
Last night, moonlight draped over like a gossamer veil, enveloping the treehouse in profound darkness.
Just when he was curious about what Ryden mentioned as the special features of the treehouse.
Rustle.
A faint sound suddenly broke the silence.
This was... the sound of the night breeze fluttering the leaves, also the prelude to a magnificent performance.
Rustle...
The sound of blossoming flowers.
Squeak...
Some kind of insect chirping.
Drip drop... the sound of water droplets falling.
Roar— a distant beast’s roar arrived.
Instantly, a series of complex yet quiet sounds flowed gently, pulling Colin into a stunningly beautiful realm like never before, where he was closer to nature than ever, almost hearing the soft sounds of moonlight touching the ground.
"Absolutely stunning," recollecting last night’s experience, Colin couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Not to mention anything else, but in terms of beautiful scenery and unique experiences, Pansai City definitely ranks first among all Miracle Cities," laughed Ryden.
"Let’s go; the Miracle Meeting is about to start."
Above the sea of clouds.
It was a large square.
At a corner, the light flashed from the Transmission Array, and Colin and others abruptly appeared.
"Are you heading over to Neustadt?" Ryden asked. "Technically, two days before the Miracle Meeting, the wizards gather according to their respective Wizard Cities."
"Of course, the Miracle Meeting actually doesn’t have a strict protocol; as long as you stay in the audience seats the two days prior, it’s fine."
"Since there’s no strict rule, then never mind; I don’t even know where Neustadt is," Colin chuckled.
Watching the latest demonstrations of witchcraft for the first two days of the Miracle Meeting would be the same anywhere.
Moreover, Neustadt didn’t attend this Miracle Meeting, so Colin had no acquaintances there; he would be alone, so he preferred to stay with Ryden.
The square above the clouds wasn’t large, and not many wizards had arrived, so it wasn’t crowded.
Following the witchcraft road signs on the ground, they headed towards the center.
Colin suddenly realized that this neatly paved stone square, apart from the central round stage and the faint witchcraft directional signs underfoot, shockingly had nothing else, just a vast emptiness.
"Welcome to Pansai City, visiting wizards. The 888th Miracle Meeting is about to begin, please head to the audience seats as instructed," said a smooth voice.
On the central round stage, a witch in green and white robes quietly appeared, her sweet voice carrying to every wizard in the square under the influence of witchcraft.
"That’s Beth Gladys, a Third Rank Witch from the Gladys Family of Pansai City; she’s very powerful," explained Ryden.
Colin nodded, taking a longer look at Beth on the stage.
Even Ryden said she was powerful, so she must be a genius witch too.
"However, she isn’t the strongest among the young generation of wizards in Pansai City," Ryden added. "The strongest is also a witch, named Mill... Mill Pansai, already a Fourth Rank Witch, but she’s five years older than me and is likely at the Sea Domain battlefield now."
Colin continued nodding, the advantage of walking with Ryden was now clear.
However, only in her twenties and already a Fourth Rank Witch?
There were always greater ones still.
Nevertheless, Ryden wasn’t less capable than Mill, as he said, Mill was indeed five years older.
Thinking this, they had already reached the audience seats defined by the witchcraft signs.
After a short wait, the Miracle Meeting officially started.
"This Miracle Meeting..."
As Beth slowly announced the procedures and safety measures for the Miracle Meeting, the stone bricks under the audience seats suddenly began to move, with countless lights continuously flowing.
Click-click-click—
In an instant, what was originally a flat square rose up in pale green tiers of seating, transforming into an amphitheater reminiscent of the stadiums from his previous world.
