Chapter 528: 172. Shipboard Town (2 in 1)_2

The miraculous transformation of the building excited Philia, Betty, and the other wizard students. Even the other customers already living in the shipboard town couldn’t help but praise Captain Berkeley’s expertise in metal magic.

Berkeley had such exquisite control of magic metal, and he was a Nine Circles Battle Mage. Wasn’t it a bit wasteful for such a powerful male witch like him to personally serve as the captain of an ocean-going magic ship?

No, no, no.

Berkeley was preparing to ascend to the stars as a Star Witch.

Controlling the magic ship and maintaining it was a process of honing his own spirit and magic control, and also cultivating the “Metal Mind Meditation Method.”

His magic ship would expand with the progress of his strength, and stop only when he became a Tenth-Ring Wizard.

Once he met the conditions for ascension to the starry sky, he would fly his magic ship, which he had been closely cooperating with for decades, to the Star Filtering Net, enter the starry sky, and become a genuine Star Witch, complete with his own magic spaceship.

This complete ascension process for metal wizards had been essentially finalized under the continuous improvement of Hotams Metal Institute.

Since the first metal wizard who drove the magic ship to the sky and became a Star Witch, hundreds of metal wizards had entered the starry sky using the same method.

This was a highly successful ascension method, exclusively for metal wizards.

It was safe, reliable, replicable, with a successful track record.

But…

The cost was too high.

Just the expense of purchasing magic metal was enough to burden Captain Berkeley with enormous debt.

This was also the reason why he, a Nine Circles Battle Mage, was willing to take passengers aboard. After all, tickets were one of his significant sources of income.

The magic ship sailed at a constant speed, automatically adjusting its speed according to the mist threshold on the sea chart. The hull was stable and level, and the customers in the shipboard town felt like they were on solid ground. The salty sea breeze was filtered by the magical dome that enveloped the town, removing the thirst-inducing sea stench and moist sensation, replaced by natural fresh air.

If one ignored the vast blue sea visible in the distance, everything here was exactly like life in a landlocked town.

“The power of magic is truly mysterious…” Noland Lee stood at the entrance of a restaurant run by magic servants and touched the doorframe.

An incredibly realistic wood texture came from the palm of his hand. The surface of the doorframe was smooth, as if it had been coated with a wax to prevent the wood from rotting, and there was a faint wood grain texture.

Had he not witnessed the process of magic metal turning into a wooden doorframe, Lee would have had trouble connecting the “wood” and “metal” before his eyes.

How do metal wizards change the texture of magic metal?

Noland Lee was a bit curious and tried to unleash a Deconstruction technique.
