Chapter 416: Catherine's Floating-Space City (I)
Wizards' calendar, 3986.
The Wizard City was the most unique on the entire Wizard Continent, not only because it was the central capital of the Wizard Alliance, but because it represented the power of the wizards.
The huge Wizard City had several gigantic stone spires towering overhead. The chimneys of several tall buildings and Alchemy Workshops had exhaust smoke constantly pumping out of them. The whole structure was a huge network of Magic Crystals and element arrays. The broad and vast roads interspersed and intertwined, the vehicles on them crisscrossing. Altogether, it was extremely noisy.
At the end of the four main thoroughfares of the Wizard City, four portals were soaring. A train could be seen running through the portal. Soon, a large number of wizards appeared. After the lights flickered, a steam locomotive, train, and commercial airship came out from the portals and entered the Wizard City.
Everyone was fascinated by the bustling magic of Wizard City as soon as they arrived there. Everything there was created by the power of witchcraft. The magic network was used in all aspects of life, from water and food to war and defense, everything there was all replaced by mana.
Different races inhabited the city. Humans, goblins, fairies, dwarves, and trolls could be all seen. In addition, there were a variety of domesticated magical beasts. Occasionally, there were even Titan Dragons in the sky. They were the Red Guardian Dragons of the wizard tower and the friends of the master of the tower, Miss Catherine.
The nine Floating-Space Towers landed on the ground. They had all returned from the clouds and the bitwall and into the Wizard City.
The huge mythical alchemy tower was glowing as the power of the Mythical Wizards merged with the Wizard City's Magical Crystal Network, aided by the pedestals of the Floating-Space Towers.
Civilians in the city were cheering. The flags of the Wizard Alliance were hanging on top of the classical apartments, and families were huddled on their balconies waving signs to show their support.
Several Magic Crystal Towers were plastered with banners. Huge airships pulled along banners drawn up with slogans. The entire Wizard City could see that they were written with the words, "Congratulations to the Master of the Tower, Miss Catherine, on becoming a Level Eight Mythical Wizard."
Meanwhile, written on the Colossus in the town square, there was another banner that read, "Happy 4,000th Birthday to Lady Catherine!"
The white castle in the middle of the city, the famous Tower College, used witchcraft projection to project several large words on its wall: "I wish all the best for the ascension of the Sky City!"
The entire Wizard City as was bustling and lively, it was akin to a carnival. All of it was because of Catherine. She had finally become a Level Eight Mythical Wizard as she approached 4,000 years old. At the same time, the Wizard Alliance, which had tried to transform the Floating-Space City for more than 3,000 years, had finally come to an end.
After more than three thousand years, under the influence of the legendary Capital of God, their Floating-Space City had become one of the ultimate goals of all alchemy warlocks. Generations of alchemy warlocks and wizards were involved in the research and creation of Floating-Space Cities. The master of the Mechanical Clock Tower, Cook Bay, had successfully produced the first Level Seven Floating-Space Tower.
But the attainment of the Floating-Space City was still out of reach. A Level Eight mythical creature template, a Level Eight mythical levitation ring (Heaven's Ring), and the magic machine were three important obstacles that had obstructed all alchemy warlocks from advancing further. But more importantly, there had not yet been the appearance of a Level Eight Mythical Wizard. Level Eight Mythical Wizards were only heard of in the legends and from the origin of truth, the creator of the wizards and the Wizard Tower, the Great and Wise Anthony.
Most wizards thought that there was no such person. This person was more like a concocted legend, or an absurd myth. If not for the existence of two first-generation wizards, Catherine and Wendy, the so-called first generation of wizards, would just be a legendary story to most people.
When Catherine became a Level Eight Mythical Wizard, she achieved a breakthrough. As the most powerful genius wizard, the first Mythical Wizard, the original Floating-Space Tower wasn't enough to complement her status. Only the legendary Floating-Space City could represent the talent and prowess of a Level Eight Mythical Wizard. Only the Level Eight Floating-Space City could embody the capability of the Wizard Alliance. The establishment of a Sky City belonging to the wizards was a must.
After Catherine had become a Level Eight Mythical Wizard, the design of the Floating-Space City, which had already been gradually perfected, had started to be manufactured. Countless wizards and alchemy warlocks were involved in the construction of the new Floating-Space City. The Level Eight Heaven's Ring was manufactured, the magic machine was created, and the Mythical Kingdom was pushed to perfection in its simulation.
The wizards even drew on the problems that Emperor Wendy had encountered when they had left with the entire Floating-Space City. They were subjected to the rejection and judgment of the will of the world.
With the help of their Guardian Wizard, they had signed an agreement with the will of the world. They paid the price of incorporating the Heart of the Ocean Bitwall into the Starsoul World. That allowed them to bring the entire Floating-Space City with them.
As was their expectation, it was a city that could survive whether they were in the clouds or within the bitwall or inside the Astral World. They were the real mythical city. The interior had a true circulation system and had been perfected by the Level Eight Mythical Wizard's rules. It was a small world floating in the Astral World and the bitwall, a divine kingdom owned by a Level Eight Mythical Wizard.
Finally, only the last step was left. It was time to bring the Floating-Space City deep into the sky of the Astral World.
Boom! A bunch of witchcraft fireworks rose into the sky from the corners of the city, the beautiful scene catching the attention of the waiting crowd.
Boom! The fireworks erupted and the sparks formed into several words in the sky, most of them celebratory wishes for Catherine's birthday.
Hot air balloons rose from the town square one after another. On top of the rising hot air balloons were several students from the wizard school. They were singing the wizard's song of truth. The city cheered and roared as if it was a joyous festival.
As the song ended, a platform was hoisted into the sky above the Wizard City. On them, several famous performance troupes and opera troupes from the Wizard Continent could be seen performing. The Wizard Alliance even brought in a performance troupe from Black Jack's Dreamland, which had a famous reputation throughout the Astral World.
The festival of joy had been going on all day and all night. At last, it had ushered in the most anticipated moment for the new Floating-Space City.
"Assimilation! Activate the mythical territory of the Mechanical Clock Tower!" A slightly sharp and funny voice resonated in the sky of the Wizard City.
"Activate the mythical territory of Philosopher Tower!"
"Activate the mythical territory of Titan Tower!"
"Tower of Frost..."
"Activate the mythical territory Circular Ring Tower!"
"..."
Under the order of numerous masters of the Floating-Space Towers, the towers started to merge into the Wizard City. Mythical lights above the ground of the Wizard City were shuttling, suddenly showering the streets below in golden radiance, each passageway a network of elemental magic.
The rays of light assimilated every corner of the entire Wizard City, every brick, every house, every alchemy workshop, every Magic Crystal Tower, and every Elemental Tower.
The whole city was changed dramatically under the glowing brilliance. Everything had connected to become a whole.
A golden glow surrounded the city and darted over to the center of the city. Several beams of light surged up from the Floating-Space Towers, connecting to the realm of the mythical boundary above the sky. It then shrouded the entire Floating-Space City.
The golden brilliance finally gathered at the foot of the Wizard Tower. It was the symbol of the beliefs of all wizards. It was the mythical alchemy tower of Catherine, the master of the tower.
