“Is this Cloud Pagoda City?” Steele asked when she walked past the foot of a mountain, and saw a prosperous city in the distance. She had changed back to human form a few days before. “Where is the cloud pagoda then?”

Most of the names of the cities in the Mifata Federation contained the word ‘pagoda;’ for example, Green Tree City was famous for the green tree magic pagoda; Golden Pagoda City was famous for the golden magic pagoda; and as for the capital city, it was named the ‘Highest Pagoda.’ Since this city was called Cloud Pagoda City, it must have also had a pagoda, which was probably named the cloud pagoda, or had the characteristics of a cloud.

But Steele failed to see any magic pagoda after looking around.

“The pagoda in this city is not on the ground,” Ray said and pointed at the sky. “It is in the air.”

Steele looked at the sky. It was cloudy, and she couldn’t see the sun or the magic pagoda.

Ray then realized that it was impossible for one to see the pagoda that was floating in the sky on a cloudy day like this. He then smiled and began to explain to Steele.

The so-called ‘cloud pagoda’ was actually a floating magic pagoda. The wizard who built it had always wanted to fly from a young age. Later, when he grew to be a wizard, he started to study flying spells, and managed to create a special and legendary magic spell. This spell could make a certain areas become anti-gravity for long periods of time. When he began to build this pagoda, he practiced this spell.

But he made some mistakes in his calculation. When he activated the spell, the foundation bed of the magic pagoda flew to the sky, and when he finally corrected his mistake, the foundation bed was already high in the sky, and anyone who had a bad vision would not be able to see it.

The wizard thought a while and then felt that this might not be that bad, and decided to build the magic pagoda high up in the sky.

It was the ‘tallest’ man-made structure in this world, and it was estimated that it was even higher than the few temples and pagodas in the Broken Cloud Mountains. To withstand the wild wind in the sky and the flying beasts, this magic pagoda was shrouded by a protection spell array. Looking from the ground, this magic array was just like a cloud surrounding it; that was why this pagoda was called the cloud pagoda.

Hearing this story, Steele was very surprised. Even Liv, Ranke and young Nice were shocked. Although they were the local people of the Mifata Federation, they only knew that fact that there was a magic pagoda in the cloud in Cloud Pagoda City. They never knew where this pagoda came from until then.

“Teacher Ray, you are really very knowledgeable!” Ranke exclaimed. “It is true that if a warrior wants to be a strong figure, he will also have to master a lot of knowledge!”

Ray was stunned, and realized that this was what he told his students not long ago. He coughed a bit and put on a serious expression.

“You really meant it when you told them that? One needs to learn a lot of knowledge to become an advanced warrior?” Sui Xiong asked Ray curiously, with telepathy.

Ray didn’t dare to lie to Sui Xiong, and he said, “Actually, when I was studying here, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to pay a visit to the owner of this magical pagoda, Master Yibuwei. He told me, ‘You said you aim to be a great knight, but one needs learn a lot of knowledge, no matter what he wants to become. So even if you are not a wizard, you still need to study hard!’”

Sui Xiong nodded, and asked him with interest, “It seems that this Master is a erudite person. Can I pay a visit to him?”

“Not now, I think. Over a hundred years ago, he had already gone to the Highest Pagoda with a few other of the strongest masters, and has been living there ever since. They are protecting the Master Imia Lampros, who is analyzing the God’s power and is going to be apotheosized. If you really want to see him, you’d better go to the Highest Pagoda.

Sui Xiong nodded and decided that once he finished building his holy manor, he would pay a visit to the Master Yibuwei, as well as the Master Imia Lampros, who was going to become the God of Wizard.

They then said goodbye to the huge ape that had been freed, as they had promised they would let him go, and walked toward Cloud Pagoda City. When they were saying goodbye to the huge ape, Sui Xiong gave it a big wood stick that had been enhanced by magic as a present. During this journey, the ape always used a big branch as its weapon, and Sui Xiong felt that maybe every monkey or ape would like to use a stick, so he specially made this for it.

As for that Copper Crown Dragon, it was locked into the specially-made magic space bag again, since it was too conspicuous.

When they finally walked into the city gate and disappeared, the huge ape that had been watching them all the time exclaimed like a human, turned around, and left.

Cloud Pagoda City was very prosperous; few cities in the Mifata Federation was as prosperous as it was. The city was also a good port in the Federation, since the city was low-lying, and the concentration of the magic power was rather low. So one would rarely see a monster there. There were many civilians living there as well.

Maybe it was because this place was so low-lying that Master Yibuwei had made the decision to build the pagoda in the air.
