Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 450 - 009 Wizard Tower
"Tutor!" Harvey bowed respectfully. "Regarding the last incident, I apologize on behalf of the Walker family. My aunt was unaware of grandfather’s arrangements."
"Heh..." Carl chuckled lightly. "If apologies were effective, there wouldn’t be so many disputes and struggles in the world. Where are the items?"
He had agreed to meet the other party not to hear the Walker family’s apologies, but to obtain what he was owed.
"Tutor..." Harvey opened his mouth, then reluctantly sighed and waved toward the maidservant behind him. "Bring out the items."
"Yes, young master." The maidservant nodded in acknowledgment, stepped forward, and lightly shook a bracelet on her wrist.
The next instant, a bright light emerged, and a pile of items appeared on the ground. These were disassembled materials of a Wizard Tower, which could form the base of the tower with simple assembly. There was also a Starshine Disk capable of connecting with the Star Realm and the power of the earth’s veins.
"Tutor," Harvey said, seizing the opportunity as Carl’s expression softened, "no matter what, it is our Walker family’s fault, so we brought two additional pieces of buoyant stone. You should need them."
Carl’s eyes flickered slightly. He indeed needed them. Constructing a Floating Wizard Tower required a great amount of buoyant stone, and naturally, the more, the better.
"Mm." He nodded slowly. "You’ve been considerate."
"Tutor Conni!" Harvey’s expression turned serious as he bowed. "Our Walker family sincerely invites you to join us. For that, we are willing to pay any price. Witchcraft, resources... Just name your terms."
"Forget it." Carl shook his head without hesitation. The Walker family was in deep trouble at the moment, and he did not want to invite any issues. Moreover, after his experience in the Nameless Snake Valley, he had a severe lack of good feelings toward the Walker family. "I’m used to being free and have no interest in joining any other power. You should go back now."
"Tutor..." Harvey looked up, his expression shifting, before he sighed in resignation and asked, "Tutor Conni, have you considered selling the ’Ghost-Faced Blood Vine’ in your hands?"
Hmm? Carl’s eyes flickered slightly.
"What about it? Does your Walker family want it?"
"Yes." Harvey did not intend to hide this fact and nodded. "My aunt needs its help to make a breakthrough to the Late First Ring. That was grandfather’s... plan at the time. Of course! If you have no such intentions, Tutor, or prefer to keep it for your own use, we can understand that too."
"In that case..." Carl stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I have other matters to attend to recently, but I will most likely choose to sell the Ghost-Faced Blood Vine. I have two of them!"
Harvey’s eyes brightened.
"Here’s what we’ll do!" Carl spoke. "In six months, I will hold a small trading event at a location I choose, and I will send an invitation to the Walker family then. Also, I am not only a Wizard but also a Legendary Knight."
As he spoke, he waved his hand grandly, and an invisible gust of wind swept over the two in front of him, sending them far away.
Harvey’s vision blurred, and the scene around him changed drastically.
In six months! A small trading event? After a moment of thought, he clenched his fists. We must obtain a Ghost-Faced Blood Vine for my aunt at any cost. The Walker family must have a Late First Ring Wizard. We have six months to gather resources, giving us more preparation time than others, which is an advantage. However... what did the tutor mean by his last words?
"Young master," the person dressed as a maidservant spoke softly, "Mr. Conni likely wanted to remind you that, in addition to items useful for Wizards, he also needs materials that can aid a Knight’s training."
"Right!" Harvey’s eyes brightened. "Materials for a Knight’s training are easier to collect; this is good news for us. It seems the tutor is not as heartless as we thought."
「In another world. Pirate Island.」
Carl assembled the tower base brought by the Walker family and then placed the Starshine Disk on top of it.
BUZZ...
Accompanied by a faint, flickering halo, the basin-sized Starshine Disk suddenly stood upright, its Magic Circuits flashing in sequence, and it slowly floated mid-air.
We’re in business! Carl’s eyes lit up. I thought it was impossible to construct a Wizard Tower in this world, but it seems... even the power of the Divine has its limits.
The shattered Divine Domain Fragments enveloped the entire Otherworld. Logically speaking, the Star Realm was also cut off. Otherwise, the power of the Evil God would have seeped in long ago, but the Wizard Tower could still sense the Star Realm. The reason was not clear yet, but the result was undoubtedly good for me. I had been prepared; if it was truly impossible here, I would have had to place the Wizard Tower in the Magic Forest. Next, put the Evil God’s Eye up there, and replace the tower’s foundation with buoyant stone—that’ll be the most basic form of a Wizard Tower!
The Foundation! The Starshine Disk! The Eye of Insight! He had collected all three essentials of the Wizard Tower; now, he only had to wait to receive his Wizard Tower.
「One month later.」
Sitting cross-legged inside the rudimentary Wizard Tower, Carl extended his arms, his hands constantly shifting through various seals.
At a certain moment—
BANG!
Behind him, a phantom image of a colossal Buddha quietly appeared, its hands forming seals, gently striking forward. The air exploded!
Ten Hands Realm! Carl’s eyes lit up, his face brimming with joy. Within the range of the Wizard Tower, both my spiritual power and the vitality of my flesh greatly increase, allowing me to perform the Thousand Buddha Hands of the Ten Hands Realm. Moreover...
"Holy Demon Transformation!"
"Zero-Circle Magic—Vitality Water!"
CRASH!
BOOM!
His skin tautened, and immediately after, his raging Battle Aura erupted. Carl’s hair whipped about, and his clothes rustled loudly. Enhanced by the Wizard Tower, the effect of the Zero-Circle Magic—Vitality Water—was comparable to One-Circle Witchcraft. It was as if... he had an endless vitality within him, which also allowed him to release the Battle Aura inside his body recklessly.
What a pity! It’s still lacking a bit. He ceased his movements, and Carl shook his head slightly. If I could break through to the Fourth Level of the Holy Demon Transformation and develop the Silver Body, to a certain extent, I’d effectively be Second Order within the area affected by the Wizard Tower. However... if my Wizard level could progress to First Ring Middle Stage, by then the power of Vitality Water and Water Elf would increase; even if I’m not a Silver Body, I might possess strength comparable to one.
The amplification provided to cultivators by the Wizard Tower was terrifyingly powerful, far exceeding Carl’s expectations. Here, though he was only at the One Hand stage of Thousand Buddha Hands, he could perform techniques of the Ten Hands Realm. The power of Zero-Circle Magic was comparable to One-Circle Witchcraft! Because the Wizard Tower’s level was too low, while One-Circle Witchcraft was enhanced, the effect was not so exaggerated. But the power of witchcraft cast by an early-stage Wizard was comparable to that of a mid-stage or even late-stage Wizard, and the spiritual power cost was minimal. It could be said to be an all-around improvement!
No wonder every Wizard desires to possess their own Wizard Tower. This Wizard Tower, leaking air on all four sides and possessing only the most basic functions, could double my strength. If it were a complete Wizard Tower, within its influence, I’m afraid I’d be able to match a Second Circle Wizard! The benefits don’t stop there! Within the Wizard Tower, my perception and physical body become extremely lively, allowing me to cast witchcraft and Holy Skills that were previously difficult to perform. Although I’ll return to my normal state after leaving the Wizard Tower, the experience from that time would subtly accelerate my cultivation progress. Like the Ten Hands Realm... without the enhancement from the Wizard Tower and relying solely on my own cultivation, it would probably take years before I could even get started. Now, it might only take a few months to master it!
Additionally, cultivating inside the Wizard Tower would progress faster, and etching Magic Circuits would be simpler, and so on.
「A few months later.」
Name: Carl
Constitution: 18.4
Spiritual Power: 7.5
Source Material: 10
Level: Legendary Knight, First Circle Wizard
Abyss Bloodline Fusion: 38%
Witchcraft: Tide’s Strength, Thunder Wings, Thunder God’s Fury, Whisper of Life...
Holy Skill: Angel’s Sting, Sky Wolf Illusion Demon Fist, Holy Demon Transformation...
Dharma Seal: Earth Shattering...
Finally, my spiritual power has reached 7.5. In terms of Wizard cultivation, Carl could not be considered particularly talented. With the help of numerous resources, he was now only at the First Circle Early Stage, a below-average standard.
But, 7.5 spiritual power was enough!
With a thought, ten points of Source Material instantly vanished, and at the same time, his 7.5 spiritual power climbed to 10 points.
That is to say, a First Ring Middle Stage Wizard!
"Mm!" The sudden surge in spiritual power caused Carl to grunt involuntarily. Veins throbbed on his forehead, and his mind buzzed. It took a long while before he slowly recovered.
If I were to rely solely on my own cultivation, even with the Wizard Tower, it would take years to advance to the First Ring Middle Stage. Now... at least within the range of the Wizard Tower, I possess Second Order combat power... I may not be a real Second Circle Wizard, but this is enough to ensure that the upcoming trade meetings can proceed normally.
Carl rubbed his temples, relaxing the tension from the rapid rise in spiritual power. He looked up at the Evil God’s Eye above the Wizard Tower, a smile appearing on his face. With the Second Order Fear Aura and this eye that can directly determine life or death, even when facing a Second Circle Wizard, I would not be completely powerless. Now... it’s time to see what this Otherworld’s Star Realm is really about.
Wizard Towers can sense the Star Realm. Although this Wizard Tower was rather primitive, it had all the necessary functions and had been thoroughly inspected two days earlier.
Therefore... With a thought from Carl, the Wizard Tower bloomed with Spirit Light, connecting to the Star Realm in the unknown.
The next instant, a desolate wasteland appeared before Carl’s eyes.
