Chapter 493: A Horde of Wizards (1/2)
”We're finally here.” Wizard Ulric whispered upon the first sighting of land that he saw after months on the seas.
He and his wizard brethren could have flown into the barbarian continent but it would have been a wet and ugly journey indeed.
Thus, the large ship that they rode saved them the hassle for such a tedious way to go.
”Do you remember the way towards the Astronian camp?” The old wizard asked his personal slave girl.
”Yes, Master Ulric. To the south.” The slave girl answered as she pointed a hand in one direction.
”Very well. I can't wait to see if their weapons are as mighty as you have depicted.” Wizard Ulric nodded and before long, he joined his friends into the sky.
He had of course taken the slave girl with him and both of them traversed the epic heights without apparent difficulty.
Some raced fast while others like this old man Ulric maintained a chill speed all throughout.
About 10 minutes into the flight, everyone could see a green field and the evidence of a community in the farthest recesses of the land.
A river and a great forest marked the end of the picture but almost all of their attention was pulled by the mass gathering of people and traders in the outskirts of this unique residential area.
”LOOK! WIZARDS AND MAGICIANS!” The traders were shocked at what they saw. The flying people in the sky have brought fear and awe into their hearts.
”You honor our humble abode, great ones!”
”How can we be of service for you today?” The smart lot in the group bowed their heads and spoke of flowery words towards these newcomers.
With almost a thousand wizards before them, this was truly a rare scene in this barbarian continent.
One should know that kingdoms in this land could only hire one or two wizards and magicians into their fold.
”We have no interest in you, dumb peons. We are here to discuss business with a people called The Astronians.” A handsome wizard spoke for the majority.
It was easy to see that he was quite respected in the group. This was of course well expected when one has the strongest cultivation base in the lot of these powerful men and women.
This handsome man was already in the peak of a level 8 wizard. No mortal tried to make a noise at this time since they knew that it was not their place to speak.
Nevertheless, they stole some glances towards the peaceful and grand community a few steps away from their market stalls.
A beat passed and then another but upon the third breath, a familiar beautiful figure of a woman was seen to walk slowly to address her unwanted visitors.
This woman was of course the android Amira Walker.
”What kind of business are you offering?” Amira asked bluntly.
”I hear that you are in the possession of a weapon that could equal and even surpass the might of our wizard's magic.”
”Tell me the price of such a weapon and I will gladly consider you as a friend of our White Tower. We do not treat unkindly those that would help us learn the absolute power of all.
