Chapter 830: Chapter 490: Redemption
The location of this Miracle Meeting is held outside Huailan City.
There, a vast stretch of gravel desert extends further to connect with the largest desert on the Siya Continent.
Although the geographical environment is extremely harsh, it is nothing to worry about for the Wizards.
The Supreme Council announced the Miracle Meeting on the first day of June, and overnight, the area outside Huailan City had already transformed dramatically.
Numerous dark temporary buildings appeared on the yellow gravel, and overnight, the barren land seemed to turn into a green field… The grand scene for the Miracle Meeting was beginning to take shape.
And at the very center of the dark buildings, there was a circular array of tower-shaped constructions that were evidently more advanced than those surrounding them.
This was the center of the Miracle Meeting, and ordinary Wizards could not enter unless they exchanged battle merits.
Of course, this did not include Booster and others.
As a Fourth Rank Wizard and Supreme Councilman, he would be accorded due respect on any continent.
“Councilman, sir.”
The guard Wizard in the central area respectfully greeted the three arriving people and stepped aside.
Booster and his two companions nodded calmly, eagerly heading towards the battle merit exchange point right beside the door.
This was a white high tower with three levels. Though not tall, it covered a vast area, enough to accommodate a large crowd.
However, there was still one day before the Miracle Meeting began, and it was not yet time to officially exchange battle merits, so there were not many Wizards inside the tower at the moment.
Only the Wizards who already had qualifications to enter the central area could come here in advance.
Why come here? Of course, it was related to battle merits. Although you could not directly exchange battle merits now,
you could check the battle merit exchange list in advance to strategize what exactly to redeem when the time came.
Booster and the others came now to finalize what to redeem at that time, targeting their future territory as Wizards of the Nolan.
“Keruk, Kararli, Letti, and Saize, these four Wizard Cities closest to Graham City are our primary targets. Next are Wass, Kola, Beijam, Rivaldo, and Ed, these five Wizard Cities located slightly farther… Do you all remember?”
Standing outside the battle merit exchange point, Booster turned to ask Gre and Gard beside him.
“Understood.” Gard nodded. Before coming, they had already pre-screened several suitable locations using the map of the Graham region.
Due to the Divine invasion this time, a significant part of the Graham region had fallen, and these places, as well as surrounding impacted areas, were classified into sections where battle merits could be exchanged for territory.
To determine whether a place was suitable for Wizard settlement, it is necessary to judge whether it possesses sufficiently rich Magic Energy Ore Veins.
For cultivation, Wizards generally gather in places rich in Magic Energy Ore Veins, where the concentration of magic is high enough.
In other words, the concentration of magic in a region largely determines the number of Wizards there.
Because of this, the places with Magic Energy Ore Veins within Graham have mostly had Wizard Cities established.
“With so many locations, I personally am most inclined towards Kararli,” said Gre. “With the battlefield merits we currently have, even Graham City can be included in our selection; there is no need to consider those more inferior Wizard Cities.”
“In the entire Graham region, apart from Graham City having Fifth Rank Magic Energy Ore Veins, only the four closer Wizard Cities up front have Fourth Rank, and the rest are at most quasi-Fourth Rank… Over time, it may limit our development.”
“Though that may be, it is still necessary to make thorough preparations,” Booster said.
Though he also believed that with their current amount of battlefield merits, as long as they did not aim too high for dominion over Graham City, targeting other relatively lower-ranked Wizard Cities should be a surefire plan.
After a brief discussion, Booster led the way into the tower.
“Let’s go, consult the exchange Wizard.”
Since it was not yet the official day to exchange battlefield merits, there were barely any Wizards at the counters in the tower, rendering the entire space quite empty.
Booster and his companions went all the way up, finally reaching the third floor of the battle merit exchange point.
Compared to downstairs, the exchange windows on this floor were noticeably fewer, but the Wizards responsible for exchanges were mostly present here.
Booster and the others approached the last window.
“Good morning, honorable councilmen,” the wizard on duty, a slightly balding male wizard, said respectfully.
Swish.
“Help us check the battle merits and transfer all the merits together,”
Booster took out a large stack of certificates of participation in the war, almost filling the counter in front of him.
The golden plaque on top belonged to him, while the silver, copper, and black plaques underneath belonged to other Wizards of the Nolan Continent.
Beside him, Gard also placed his golden plaque on top of the pile.
This heap of cold metal pieces was the reward that all the Wizards of the Nolan Continent had risked their lives for, and some even had paid with their lives.
At this moment, they were gathered in front of the counter for a singular purpose.
That was to exchange these for a place on the Nolan Continent where all its people could learn, sleep, laugh… live stably.
