1303 Underground 1 (2/2)
”Dragon Wizard? The guy who specializes in capturing the dragons and forcing them to sign master-servant contracts?” Garen recalled of this character now. He was one of the figures that the Third Elder warned him about before he left.
”Yes, Dragon Wizard likes to force all the special and powerful dragons to sign contracts with her, and it's always master-servant contracts. She has an irregular passion towards talented dragons. You should be careful not to be targeted by her,” Annie warned.
Garen smiled, not paying much heed to their warnings. With his hidden strength, as long as the Level Ten Great Arcanists of the Snow City Joint Council did not take action, the rest of the existences, even at their peak, would have no chance against him. No one would be able to do anything about him. Moreover, his growth rate had already far exceeded the imagination of these people. It would not take long before he would leave them in the dust.
”My goal is to build a Wizard Tower, break through my own bottleneck. I'll try to stay low-key as much as possible.” That was the plan he decided on.
”I heard that there are five Dragon Clans under the Dragon Wizard:for visiting.
At the halfway point of a cliff of a mountain, the three White Dragons entered an abandoned cave and started to rest.
His consciousness sank into the depths.
In a black villa covered with bright concave windows, one could see the white but overcast sky through the glass.
When Garen woke up, this was the scene he saw.
He stood up in the room with a human body. The room only had a set of white sofas and nothing else. They were old and worn out leather sofas. The walls around the room were a gloomy gray.
Whoosh!
A huge black shadow flashed by the window. It seemed to be a huge black crow, flying around the villa. Other than the sound of its wings flapping, nothing else could be heard.
The shadows continue to flash by the windows, over and over, seemingly with a rhythm.
Every 13.56 seconds, it would pass by the window very punctually.
As Garen observed the black shadow outside the window, unbeknownst to him, an old man in a white robe was already seated on the sofa.
”I just received the news that you're about to arrive.” The old man looked kind and gentle. He had a bit of a widow's peak, and his hair and beard were pure white.
”You really never give up on your tendency of flying freely at all times,” Garen replied cheekily.
The old man laughed.
”That's why I'm called the Soaring Wing King.”
”Alright, let's skip the talk of your life motto. The reason I came to your territory this time is that I want to build a Wizard Tower. A Wizard Tower appropriate for a dragon. At the same time, I hope you can send me out to the Blood War,” Garen said bluntly. Looking at the old man's stunned expression, he continued, ”I know that a Wizard Tower for a dragon requires far more resources as compared to an average human, but name a price, I'll find a way.”
”Price? It needs to be something of equal value to your request.” Soaring Wing King shook his head as he frowned. ”What Level do you want it to be, and where do you want it built? What about the Level of the Tower Souls? To block out Divine Power you'll need enchantment and reinforcement by at least a Level Nine Wizard. Furthermore, the cost of using it would also be high, your spiritual energy may also be downgraded. Are you sure you can afford it?”
Garen had already readied himself for this.
”Of course I know that, but I will still need an estimated quotation, then only will I be able to prepare what's required. I want the best Upper-Level Wizard Tower. It needs to have an Elemental Pond, a Dimensional Anchor, and all the essential facilities.”
Soaring Wing King glanced at him oddly. ”Why don't you wait till you get a human body, then build an even better Wizard Tower? A dragon's body is too big, the number of resources you're going to need would be more than fifty times of what an average Wizard Tower of the same level would require.”
”Hmm… That's actually not a bad idea.” Garen already knew that the expenses would be very high. ”Unfortunately, I can't afford to find a stranger to cast the Ultimate Transformation Spell on me. Well, just give me an estimated quotation for the time being, the location doesn't matter.”
”The expenses for the highest level Wizard Tower with all standard facilities will roughly be above one billion gold coins, and that's not including all the rare materials you need to prepare yourself. For you, the standard would be around five to ten times higher so you can estimate the costs for yourself. As for a permanent enchantment to block off Divine Power, the cost of that Level Nine spell would at least require you to give up some rare and precious treasure in exchange for it…”Author only listed four even though it said five.
