“We are actually working for the Sacred Hall of Liberty. The Sacred Hall of Liberty and the Dubai Magician Tower have reached a deal. The Dubai Magician Tower asked the Sacred Hall of Liberty to provide them with some perfect Elemental Diamonds. You should know how rare those Elemental Diamonds are. We only found a small amount of them after searching for them throughout the Americas. Most of them have ended up in the hands of black market merchants or renowned clans. The price will be several times higher if we try to buy from them. The Sacred Hall of Liberty doesn’t want to be taken advantage of, so they hired us to collect more Elemental Diamonds.
“I found one at the lake not long ago. Tianshan Mountain is really a land of treasure. I believe there are more of them in the Scar of Tianshan Mountain, since no one has ever set foot inside it!” Bertan was a talkative person. He explained everything, even though Mo Fan had only asked the question casually.
“Elemental Diamonds?” Lingling looked intrigued.
“Hehe, many people know that the pure Elemental Magic Ores are the main source of energy for modern cities, but they are clueless about something that can replenish the energy of Mages,” Bertan kept going when he saw Lingling’s reaction.
“Elemental Diamonds are commonly used for constructing complicated Magic Formations, such as a teleporting formation with a precise destination,” Lingling spoke up.
“That’s right little girl, you know quite a lot about them! But do you know that certain magic doesn’t require the Caster to expend their own energy? The Caster is only a medium, as the spell consumes a large amount of energy from the Elemental Diamonds. For example, a torch will need batteries and the components inside it to emit light. The Caster is like the wires. The batteries are the ones providing the energy, which the Elemental Diamonds serve as,” Bertan said.
“So you’re saying that we won’t have to worry about our energy anymore? We just need to bring a few Elemental Diamonds around and we can use our magic without limit?” Mo Fan comprehended it in his own way after hearing the gist of it.
“You can think of it like that, but it isn’t available to everyone. Only a certain group can do so. As for who they are… well, I’m not allowed to tell you,” Bertan hedged.
“If we can generalize it, it would be a great invention. I’m fearless most of the time, until my energy runs out!” Mo Fan murmured.
“A single Elemental Diamond is around the price of a mansion with a sea view. I doubt ordinary people could afford it, leaving aside the question about how we could turn ourselves into conduits,” Zhao Manyan said disdainfully.
The leaders of the alliance began to discuss their next steps after they were done with the conversation.
It would soon be winter on Tianshan Mountain, so they could not afford to waste too much time. If they did not leave this place before the snowstorms came, they had no idea when they would be able to, if it was even a possibility!
Tianshan Mountain was just as merciless toward Super Mages as it was to anyone else. The winter snowstorms were going to trap all visitors. Why else did the beast hordes risk their lives to leave the mountain? Why did the Frosty Ancient Eagles have to stock up on food supplies for winter when they were already creatures of the Ice Element?
The winter of Tianshan Mountain was the true bringer of silence!
