The apprentices were introduced to an extremely mysterious world. While they were at sea, the sun had hung directly overhead, albeit obscured by clouds. But now the sky had cleared and taken in a pitch-black appearance that was peppered heavily with twinkling stars. Whereas the city night on Earth was a black haze with only occasional glimpses of the universe, here was a boundless vista of blinking dots. Among all the stars, one stood out with the most powerful glare.
This is the star that symbolized Louie, and in his divine kingdom, he towered over everything.
In this dark night sky, a tall tower stretched towards the clouds. Its black color gave it an air of mystery and surrounding it was a deep lake.
The lake was blue and clear and at a glance, one could see many mysterious species living inside. There were ugly-looking fish, strange tentacle-like creatures that wandered within it with sharp fangs, extremely long worm-like creatures, and so on and so forth.
In addition to these organisms were numerous strange plants and magical creatures that could not be seen on Earth.
“That is a bottom-dwelling magic fish. It's born with the ability to cast magic and is hermaphroditic. If you accidentally touch its tentacles, your flesh and blood will slowly become transparent until you die. You must not approach it.”
“That is a green-footed dragon snake. Although it has “dragon” in its name, it's in fact, closer to a snake. It is also a magical creature. Ordinary people should stay away from it.”
“That is a canine demon, an enchanted otherworldly creature.”
“This is a fire beetle. Relatively speaking, they are not powerful. Even a grown man can kill it alone, but they always come in groups. If surrounded by hundreds of them, they will burrow into your body and burn your internal organs. Hey, little ones, have you heard of the Egyptian holy beetle? This thing is similar.”
“……”
The wizard named Barry casually spoke to the apprentices who were following him. Each sentence made their hearts jump. The creatures and plants surrounding that mysterious tower were all considered important magical materials but were also unusually dangerous.
……
In the Scottish command center, when the members looked at the scenery of Louie's divine kingdom through the secret cameras, the whole place was in chaos.
“Quick, call those two professors from Cambridge University! Yes, the ones in zoology and botany. Ask them if they know these plants and animals.”
“Also, bring along some theology and myth experts to see if these strange creatures are recorded in any ancient texts.”
“What? Astronomers say that the star is not located on any star map at all? That this is definitely not on Earth? Then if this isn't Earth? Why can we still receive video feds? Could it be that our information technology could cross the stars? It's not like this is quantum communication!”
The representatives of the command center, led by the various nations, asked experts from various fields to find out about these creatures, but in the end, they concluded that the magical scene in front of them was not on Earth. There was simply no such thing on Earth and the pitch black tower was not known in the style of any civilization on Earth.
Just as the representatives of the countries were in a heated discussion, the wizard named Barry suddenly looked at the camera, as if he had long since discovered the small moves made by the governments. He laughed grimly.
“Heh, humans are always fond of being clever. Do you think that your so-called technology could hide from a wizard's perception?”
The representatives of many countries looked at each other and felt a chilling fear from the depths of their hearts. They never thought that the cameras they installed had already been discovered long ago. Listening to the wizard's words, it seemed that he was knowledgeable about technology.
What should they do? Would the mages retaliate against the countries on Earth? Although these mages did not seem powerful enough to ignore modern weapons, the magic that they mastered was too mysterious. If they carried out assassination tactics, how could the leaders of each country defend against it?
After finding out what the government had done, they all wondered how they would treat the apprentices, hoping that they wouldn't just kill everyone.
A quick look at shorturl.at/mCEOX will leave you more fulfilled.
The liaison officers were at a loss. They felt depressed that they had failed. Not only did they fail to uncover the mystery of magic, but they might also even be hit by retaliation. It could be said that they had lost and folded.
But the mage suddenly adjusted his tone, “But your curiosity about magic is understandable. As long as you do not try to explore its depths, we do not mind giving you some knowledge.”
The people in the command center did not expect such a development. Not only was this magician not angry after their little trick was discovered, but he was also willing to share knowledge of magic.
“What's going on? Why are these wizards willing to share the secrets of magic?”
Someone couldn't help but ask.
The group in the command center also blinked until another man weakly returned, “Didn't the mage say that he didn't want us to explore the deeper secrets of magic? The knowledge they are willing to tell us must be some low-level knowledge, like elementary school education?”
His words echoed through the crowd.
In front of the School of Magic, Barry finished speaking and waved his hand. In an instant, the lake water parted and a bridge appeared. The wizard then stepped onto the bridge and continued in a gloomy voice, “Well, little ones, if we hurry we can still make it to today's dinner, and to celebrate your first visit to the School of Magic, enjoy a great meal.”
“By the way, I know you have things called cell phones. We don't really care if you take pictures as long as you don't take pictures in forbidden places. If you are found to have done so, the price will be your life.”
After the words, Barry smiled conspiratorially and walked forward.
The apprentices who followed behind him were stunned. Someone subconsciously took out his cell phone and found that the cell phone had a signal in this mysterious world.
The meaning of Barry's words was even stranger. It seems that he hoped for some secrets of magic to be exposed to Earth.
Many apprentices felt confused, but still pressed the doubt in their hearts and followed the mage towards the tower.
……
At the top of the tower, Louie watched the approach of more than a hundred people.
