365 The Levitation Ring (1/2)

It was no longer the same Titan continent Lu Zhiyu last visited. Goblins, dwarves, trolls, and fairies had gradually become a part of the Wizard Alliance. Nevertheless, the City of Leaves was a foreign trade city built by fairies, and most fairies still lived in the Forest of Fairies.

The City of Leaves was a unique city. The Forest of Fairies was a forest growing not on gentle hills, but a plateau. Dangerous cliffs surrounded the forest as if the forest was growing on a pillar. From below, it seemed like a forest in the sky. The City of Leaves was built on the cliffs below the forest.

Vines spiraled down the cliffs. Trees thrived on the cliffs. Houses and buildings were built along the cliff at an angle. A huge Ancient Tree of Fairies was embedded in the cliff, piercing through the cliff, and growing up over the top of the cliff.

Beside the cliff and the Ancient Tree of Fairies, roads and fences were built. One could walk and climb up to the Forest of Fairies above. Even roofs had fences on them, as they were also a part of the trail. At night, alchemy gas lamps were lit, turning the cliff and the City of Leaves into a starry tree.

The landscape was the creation of nature. When Lu Zhiyu first constructed the astral world, he only set up the model of standard worlds. However, everything internal was created by the force of nature. He had not noticed that such a beautiful view had been created here.

”Ee-yah-yah! Ee-yah-yah!”

”Hah-hah-yah-yah!”

Tiny fairies flew along the cliff covered vine, chattering in their language. At the bottom of the cliff, many taverns, shops, and fairy bistros were built to host humans, goblins, and other races. Local products like fruit wines were sold inside. Docks for aircraft and train stations were built here as well, as foreign races were not allowed to enter the Forest of Fairies.

Choo-choo!

Clackety-clack, Clackety-clack!

Lu Zhiyu stayed in a small cabin at the bottom of the cliff. If one opened the window, an endless grassland with beautiful flowers would come into view. A single railway track extended toward the horizon over the field. Steam trains arrived here every morning. The flowery grasslands with steam trains arriving from far away painted a mesmerizing picture.

Lu Zhiyu wanted to build a special floating space tower here. If the wizard civilization continued to develop at the same pace, it would be almost impossible for them to build a true floating space tower, nevermind a level eight floating space city. And without a floating space tower, the wizard civilization could never step out beyond the bitwall and explore the astral world.

Mythical wizards without floating space towers did not possess the power to leave the world and explore the astral world. Moreover, it would take a long time for them to build the level eight floating space city and rival the true gods of Maria's World (true gods with divine kingdoms were level-eight mythical beings, side gods were level-seven).

Several elements were necessary to build a floating-space tower. A level-seven alchemy floating space tower life blueprint, a levitation ring, and a mana pool. The most difficult to acquire was the levitation ring.

Lu Zhiyu had decided to build a floating space tower as a gift for Catherine to celebrate her becoming a mythical wizard. However, building the tower himself would not be as meaningful as teaching the wizards how to build it. And since Catharine was not gifted in alchemy at all, Lu Zhiyu had to find someone else to build the floating space tower.

The floating space tower would also push forward the development of the wizard civilization. Without it, the wizard civilization would stay trapped inside the Starsoul World, while Maria's World started to explore the astral world and the divine system reached out to the astral world. Maria's World had perfected the magic crystal system, and the species within started to challenge the bitwall.

Another steam train arrived from far away. This time, there was a green-skinned goblin in wizard robes walked onboard.

Cook Bay stepped off the train and followed the wavy trail, looking at the rows of houses built on the bottom of the cliff. Holding on to the fences while he walked, he had finally found the address on the letter. It was a white house with a red roof, red chimney, and beautiful stained-glass windows, embedded into a slope on the cliff.

”Knock-knock! Knock-knock!”

Cook Bay did not hear anything coming from inside the house but realized the door was unlocked. He pushed the door and looked inside. His jaw dropped as the door opened. He did not see the inside of a small cabin as he had expected, but a crystal-clear watery swirl. If not observing carefully, one might not notice the transparent swirl of dimensional folds.

Through the swirl, he could see rolling hills where many grand palaces had been built.

”Wumpth!”

Cook Bay shut the door immediately. He was still in a state of shock. He opened the door again, and the view was completely different now, as he again saw the wizard tower outside!

”Golly! How is that possible?” he exclaimed.

Cook Bay stepped into the cabin and went through the swirl. His body decomposed into the tiniest ashes and reassembled on the other side of the swirl. The next thing he knew, he was standing on the street of the City of Wizards.

Familiar streets, familiar alchemy shops, and familiar steam railway buses. Cook Bay had spent more than a month traveling across the sea and had made quite a few stops along the way before he finally arrived at the City of Leaves on the Titan continent. And now, just one step took him all the way back.

The green-skinned goblin tripped over the threshold and fell back through the door. Immediately, he was in a simply styled room with a fireplace, benches, closets, and a kitchen.
