177 Second Prince (1/2)
Zatiel and the rest continue traveling through The Ocean of a Thousand Wonders and they noticed that the closer they got to the Wuxuan continent the calmer the natural energy became and the Eye of Life and Creation showed that the life forms were becoming weaker and weaker.
It seems that the powerhouses of the Scientia Kingdom have neutralized any threat that surrounded their continent. This fits with the overprotective nature that the ruler of the kingdom has over his people.
As they reached the kingdom the first thing that calls their attention where the famous 'swimming islands'. These were islands that literally swam around the continent, sometimes submerging themselves underwater only to come out months or maybe years later to the surface.
Some of the islands were small but others were big enough to hold the entire capital of the Aeternum Empire on them.
When they finally reached the sky above the continent they were able to have a complete view of the kingdom.
Instead of how a normal organization works, the terrains were not divided and the entire kingdom was just one massive city that extended through all the continent.
There was no division regarding power and you could see Rank 4 and Rank 0 life form discussing all sorts of scientific problems.
The city was filled with ingenious machines, factories, and special laboratories where anyone could come in and work together with the rest.
The sense of unity in the people was superior to even the Daybreak Clan, despite being millions of them.
The city was not just buildings and machinery, the vegetation filled the kingdom and you could see all types of magical flora that had special properties.
Some trees took the impurities on the air and some natural energy to release an invisible gas that increased the vitality and energy pool of the people in the kingdom.
The kingdom is truly amazing and what draws the attention of everyone was the massive magic tower in its center.
It was fifty thousand meters tall and from it, a beam was fired into the sky that connected the peak of the tower all the way to the Crystal Wall.
When Zatiel saw the tower he was shocked. It was not its size or the fact that draw its energy from the elemental chaos in the void that amazed him.
It was the fact that his Eye of Life and Creation showed that the magic tower was a living being.
He was only able to analyze it for a few seconds because when his Eye of Life and Creation focus on it, the eye starts to feel like it was burning, just like the eyes of a normal person would when they look at the sun.
But it was enough to detect the immense amount of vitality that was running through it and the fact that it was incredibly old. Zatiel will not be surprised if this was the fist magic tower in the Magi World and the rest were technological duplicates of it.
With this tower, even a Rank 6 life form could not threaten the kingdom or its citizens.
The group did not remain in the sky for too long and descended to a zone in the periphery of the continent where there are hundreds of white rooms without windows.
As they close in, a Rank 3 Magi with a cordial smile approached them.
”Hello, my name is Sebastian. Please, state the purpose you have come to the Scientia Kingdom and whether or not you wish to enter it.”
Heinz was at the lead of the group and even though he was stronger than the man he acted with prudence.
He could feel the dozen of Rank 5 life forms that were watching over this area and the Law of Space allowed him to detect an even more terrifying individual very close.
”I am Heinz, Prince of the Aeternum Empire. I and my group have come to the auction.”
”In that case, you will need to take the Test of Threat. Is there anyone of you who is not familiar with it.” When Sebastian sees that everyone shook their head, he guides them to a room.
In the room, there was a white platform with a screen beside it.
The Test of Threat that the Magus spoke is something everyone who is an external individual to the kingdom has to take if they want to enter in it.
