Chapter 729: Chapter 445 Full Load and Return_2
Colin didn’t make a fuss and nodded, "Thank you, Andy."
"No need to thank me," Andy said, waving his hand, then smiling as he began to explain, "The first floor of the Magic Tower consists of several knowledge tests about plant transformation..."
...
The Magic Towers set up by ordinary forces aren’t necessarily difficult, but they are certainly numerous... at least the Magic Tower set up by the Staney Family was like this.
Although Andy helped him, Colin still spent an entire day to get through three floors.
At the end, he climbed to the top floor, which was the fourth floor, for a look.
The Staney Family had placed three Fourth Rank puppets there, and if one could defeat them, they would successfully clear that level.
However, Colin felt the aura of the three Fourth Rank puppets and ultimately gave up.
Puppets or Witchcraft transformation products, at high ranks, would usually have a considerable strength gap compared to the Wizards of the same rank.
These three Fourth Rank puppets in front of him might struggle to handle a real Fourth Rank... In fact, a typical Magic Tower couldn’t withstand the fluctuations from a Fourth Rank battle.
However, the purpose of setting up these Magic Towers was not really to hinder Wizards from acquiring knowledge, but merely to establish a threshold.
"On the last day, which Magic Tower should I challenge?" Colin stepped out from the Staney Family Magic Tower and looked around.
It was already midnight, and there was still a crowd of Wizards on Cloud Square.
During the free exchange segment, the square was open 24 hours and wasn’t closed in the evening like before.
Wizards were all seizing the time to challenge the Magic Towers of their interest.
This had led to some Magic Towers that contained precious knowledge even having long queues.
’It’s good that I came straight herewhen Cloud Square opened this morning, otherwise it might have cost a lot of time.’
Although there wasn’t a long queue outside the Staney Magic Tower, there were people waiting, and as Colin came out, they immediately went inside.
The Wizard beside them was half a beat slow, and could only stop at the entrance... The Magic Tower had reached its capacity.
Colin walked around Cloud Square and eventually stopped in front of a Magic Tower that wasn’t very crowded.
Geographically, this was a Magic Tower established by the forces of Graham City.
On the exterior wall of the Magic Tower, there was also the emblem of that force... but Colin did not recognize it.
However, although he did not recognize the emblem, he had seen it a few days ago.
The Witch representing Graham City who introduced new knowledge on stage was wearing the same emblem!
Colin approached the right side of the Magic Tower, carefully examining the detailed information about the knowledge available on each floor provided on the light screen.
Soon, a look of joy crossed his face... The knowledge in this Magic Tower was very useful for him!
In the past two days, although he had just begun to understand the new method researched by Graham to tackle Thunder Light Stone contamination, it was only a preliminary understanding, and he couldn’t find a clue on how to integrate it with the Robert Explosion Skill.
If he could gain more knowledge related to it, perhaps it could spark new ideas.
And the knowledge contained in the Magic Tower ahead had many aspects related to Thunder Light Stone and Robert Explosion Skill!
After carefully reading the knowledge information on the light screen, Colin didn’t delay any further, memorized the few pieces of knowledge he wanted to exchange, and stepped into the Magic Tower.
Time silently passed, and the pale crescent moon quietly climbed up the branches and then slowly fell. The east gradually brightened, and the stars faded... A new day had arrived.
Cloud Square was still very lively, with Wizards brushing past each other, coming and going.
Another half-day passed, and it was now the afternoon.
Colin walked out of the Magic Tower, his expression calm, but a careful look would reveal the uncontrollable joy in his eyes!
Although he hadn’t had time to thoroughly review the knowledge he had just acquired, just by skimming through it after obtaining, Colin felt a flash of inspiration in his mind.
The power of the Robert Explosion Skill might likely be further enhanced!
"Master Colin, have you finished challenging the Magic Tower?"
At that moment, Ryden happened to walk out from a Magic Tower closeby on the right and seeing the familiar figure of Colin, he instinctively asked.
"I have," Colin turned around, startled slightly, and nodded.
"How did you fare?" Ryden asked with a smile as he approached.
"Not bad." Colin chuckled, his eyes brimming with delight.
It was more than not bad, it was a complete success!
Not only had he made a new breakthrough with the Robert Explosion Skill, but the knowledge gained from the Staney Family was also incredibly useful. Besides Element Transformation, he had picked a specialty related to cultivating plant elves... If it could be optimized and applied to wheat fields, perhaps there would be surprising yields!
"My gains were pretty good too," Ryden smiled, then asked, "Do you plan to continue challenging the Magic Tower?"
"The Magic Tower at Cloud Square will be dismantled at four in the afternoon, and with only two hours left, each Magic Tower is at full capacity; I’m afraid we’re out of time," Colin looked around and shook his head.
"Indeed, I don’t plan to continue either," Ryden agreed after surveying the surroundings. "We just wait for the Miracle Meeting to close at four, then we can leave."
"What usually happens at the closing?"
"In past years, it typically just involves a brief summary of this year’s Miracle Meeting, like how many new witchcraft techniques appeared, which Magic Tower was most popular, which saw the most challengers..."
As he spoke, Ryden paused, then added, "But this year, I think Pansai City will likely make a brief statement about the Gardner incident."
The two hours passed quickly.
The closing ceremony of the Miracle Meeting officially began, and Cloud Square was transformed back into the style of a soccer stadium.
Colin sat in the stands.
A figure of an elderly wizard in a white robe appeared on the high platform.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, this Miracle Meeting..."
As Ryden had mentioned, after a few perfunctory remarks, the host wizard began summarizing this Miracle Meeting.
The topics were exactly those Ryden had mentioned... the most popular Magic Tower turned out to be hosted by a family named Tata; the one with the most challengers was a tower by the Cilia Family...
All in all, they were factions Colin had never heard of.
Time ticked away, and just as the closing ceremony was about to end, when Colin thought Pansai City wouldn’t mention the Gardner affair, the host wizard briefly mentioned it at the last minute:
"In general, this Miracle Meeting went smoothly, although an accident caused by Fourth Rank Wizard Gardner occurred, the disturbance was quickly quelled, and Gardner was successfully subdued. After deliberation by the Supreme Council, Gardner was sentenced to five hundred years of penal servitude as a punitive measure."
"That concludes the summary of this Miracle Meeting... I hereby declare this Miracle Meeting closed with complete success!"
The host wizard did not delve into the details of the Gardner incident... which somewhat disappointed Colin.
He speculated that whatever drove a Fourth Rank Wizard to such extreme measures couldn’t be simple.
But with Pansai City not disclosing it, he had no way of knowing.
Nevertheless, it no longer mattered, since, in any case, this trip had been quite perfect for him.
The next day.
Pansai City Transmission General Bureau.
"I guess we will be leaving first, remember to visit Merredith City," Ryden said at the door, addressing Colin.
They were returning to Merredith City and, like Colin, needed to use a Transmission Array; the transit hub they were using to return to Neustadt was different from Colin’s, so they did not travel together.
"I will." Colin nodded, adding, "And thank Merredith City for the Miracle Meeting invitation for me."
Ryden waved his hand and turned to step into the Transmission Array.
Swoosh—
The glow from the Transmission Array flashed, and the figures of Ryden and his party instantly vanished.
Colin paused briefly, then stepped forward as well.
Upon returning to Tilamei Plain, he would need to thoroughly assimilate what he had gained from this trip... his heart was filled with anticipation.
Swoosh—
The glow from the Transmission Array flashed, and Colin’s figure instantly disappeared.
