in the sky.

A silver figure glided swiftly like the wind, like a dazzling silver light, drawing a long arc in the air.

"Good heavens, every continent has a teleportation portal, why not build one on the continent of Tauriel?" Bugret in the sky couldn't help but complain.

Although the Night's Watch's influence extends across the globe, it is conspicuously absent from the continent of Taril.

Bugrett understood the reason, but he couldn't help complaining, as it had indeed caused him a lot of inconvenience.

He had personally spent a long time on that continent and knew it was teeming with malicious and highly aggressive creatures.

If we want to gain a foothold there, it's simply not feasible without sending a large-scale military operation to clear out the area.

Moreover, the portal conducts energy when it's running, requiring the clearing and sorting of the chaotic magical energy channels in the surrounding area. And since the magical energy channels in that place are already in disarray, this will attract even more monsters, a truly troublesome prospect.

"Sigh, I guess I'll just have to work hard myself. Why have I become so busy since I woke up? Damn Kana, all he does is give orders all day long." Bugret muttered to himself as he maintained his fastest flight speed.

Above the vast ocean, surrounded by emptiness, with nothing to see, he could only fly endlessly in the predetermined direction, which left even the dragon feeling utterly exhausted.

If it weren't for the fact that this alchemical body had a significant advantage in flight speed, he probably wouldn't have been able to keep up.

"Hmm?" Biglet suddenly sensed something.

He immediately flapped his wings, expelling a large amount of compressed air downwards, and his body transformed into a silver beam of light, rapidly plummeting towards the ocean below.

On the vast ocean, a large merchant ship was slowly sailing. The massive ship looked like a drifting leaf in the boundless sea.

"Warning! Warning! An unidentified object is rapidly approaching from the sky! Warning!"

The alarm blared instantly throughout the entire merchant ship. Because the object was falling so fast, the people on board had no time to react.

As they heard the alarm and instinctively looked up at the sky, the silver beam of light was already hurtling down on them.

Just as the mage on the ship was about to cast a spell to defend himself, a silver beam of light slid down in front of them, followed by a sudden stop.

The compressed wind swept towards everyone like a surging wave, and many people were blown about.

Before them appeared a silver-white body, with crimson energy surging within, exuding a strange yet sacred beauty.

Upon seeing this, the arriving captain immediately knelt on one knee: "Leader."

In the eyes of the Night's Watch, this alchemical form is widely recognized as a sign of the arrival of a leader.

"No, no, no, I'm not Kana."

The others, who were about to kneel down with the captain, froze in place upon hearing this.

The captain looked up, examined the person carefully, and suddenly remembered something. He blinked and finally confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.

"You are... Lord Bugret?"

"Oh, you actually know me? That's quite rare."

Not many people knew of the existence of the Burghrit. Apart from some Night's Watch members who had been in the Eastern Wilds, only the earliest Night's Watch members who had followed Karna to this continent knew of it.

After all, once he landed on the mainland, Bugret received a mission from Kana and had been busy traveling around ever since.

“I was studying in Candlelight City in the Eastern Wilds at the time, and I had the privilege of meeting you a few times.”

"Haha, I see. That makes things easier. Quickly open a one-way portal for me. I need to hurry back to that... what's it called again—Black Tower City?" Biglet hadn't been back for a long time, only hearing about the place from conversations on the communication channel.

The captain nodded and quickly instructed the crew to get to work. Then he added, "That place has been officially renamed the City Around the Tower."

“Alright, City of the Ring.” Biglet didn’t seem to mind. Once the portal opened, he immediately shrunk in size, transforming into a silver cheetah, and stepped inside. Only after the silver cheetah disappeared did the others breathe a sigh of relief.

"Captain, who was that person just now? I've never seen him before, nor have I ever heard of him."

"I only met them a few times many years ago. At that time, I had just joined the Night's Watch and was still undergoing training in the training camp."

It is said that Lord Bugret is the dragon soul of the leader, originally a sealed being, but was later subdued and thus gained freedom.

It's said that after he arrived here with the first group of landing personnel, few people saw him again. Judging from the situation, he's probably carrying out a secret mission assigned by the leader. Go tell the people below to keep their mouths shut and not to talk nonsense.”

The first mate beside him nodded. After all, this was a large merchant ship with only a few watchmen on board; the rest were mostly recruited ordinary crew members.

After passing through the portal, Bugret was stunned by the sight before him.

"Has it really developed to this point?" He involuntarily transformed into a falcon and soared into the sky.

The surrounding alchemical arrays immediately locked onto and analyzed him, and only after confirming his identity did the various alchemical weapons release their locks.

“It’s magnificent, it’s practically a fortress!” Bugret exclaimed.

He shifted his attention to the city below. The black tower, which had been talked about on the communication channels, now stood on the earth like a wall built by the hand of a giant.

It is so vast that at first glance it is hard to recognize it as a tower. The first impression is more like a towering black wall that seems to isolate the whole world.

This was the first time Bugret had ever witnessed such a breathtaking sight.

The tower's black surface is etched with the patterns of bronze gears, and worker ant-like alchemical creatures carrying alchemical fuel canisters are slowly climbing up the black walls, as if weaving a shimmering silver net for the black tower.

These alchemical creatures seem to be meticulously carving something on the tower.

The base of the tower extends out in a radial pattern, forming seven concentric circles of blocks.

Ochre-red brick buildings intertwine with giant crystal domes. These magical crystals are precisely placed at nodes in the air, weaving a magical network for the entire city, regulating and stabilizing the surrounding magic, making it more stable.

The iron foundries run by dwarves were always right next to the bread ovens of humans, and the dyed cloths of halflings were drying among the branches of dragon blood trees.

The ivy planted by pharmacists of various ethnicities climbed all over the stone walls of the surrounding buildings, and you could see people gathered together, arguing noisily about something.

Several main streets are paved with special stone slabs, and every hundred steps there is a bronze street lamp shaped like a faceless person holding a torch.

At noon, these streetlights will simultaneously emit rainbow-colored columns of steam to guide the vapor.

The edge of the city is a large construction site where numerous buildings are under construction.

The buildings behind are mostly brand new, each with a different style, and you can find ethnic elements from different continents and races.

The city is home to a variety of unique vegetation, with various trees intertwined and entwined, dotting every corner of the city.

“Truly remarkable, the Night’s Watch is amazing. How long have I been gone? It’s unbelievable,” Burgret murmured to himself in the air.

He could hardly believe that such a large and unique city, and this amazing tower, could have been built in just a few years while he was away.

For a dragon, a few years is but a fleeting moment.

[Kana: How long are you going to stay outside?]

"Hurry up, hurry up, all you do is rush me. I'm just admiring your masterpiece."

Burgret grumbled in dissatisfaction, then flapped his wings and flew towards the tower. (End of Chapter)
