Mages, Adventurers, and Women

Continuing his aimless wandering, he touched several standing, misty figures in succession.

It turns out that life on Sky Island isn't easy either. Non-combat professions such as potion makers, draftsmen, blacksmiths, and alchemists all face various job-hunting challenges.

As he walked, a misty fog swirled before him, and a figure shrouded in mist appeared out of nowhere, blocking Li Wei's path, and mechanically said:

"Delis?!"

"I sensed a mental notification, and I thought I was seeing things!"

"It's really you!"

Li Wei remained silent.

He confirmed that he was using the identity of "Delis" and that the people lying in the crystal coffin in Moontown were indeed Gern and his wife Delis.

The newcomer seemed to know Delis very well.

Speaking out too easily would make it extremely easy to expose one's identity.

"Delis, why aren't you saying anything?"

"You... uh, you're in trouble?"

Li Wei confirmed once again that this person was not just familiar with Delis, and seemed to know that Delis and Gern were hiding in the crystal coffin and were sent to the dark space by the magic stone tablet.

He pondered it over and over again.

To find out where this place is, what its purpose is, and where Yulia's squad and the Radiant Squad are, we will most likely have to rely on the person who comes before us.

Cautiously:

"sisters."

……

……

Chapter 103: Thanks to the Lionheart Royal Family for their generosity [4/4 Requesting monthly votes]

"Ah, it really is you, Delis."

"I thought it was Gern."

You're testing me too, aren't you...? Li Wei thought to himself, "I've called her 'sister' correctly."

"Delis, how did you recover ahead of schedule?"

"Has it started?"

Early recovery?

How did things begin?

Putting these two words together gave Li Wei a bad feeling.

When he was studying the miscellaneous books of the Lionheart royal family, some scholars from the Golden Island, including himself, left annotations suggesting that the transformation of the Lionheart Kingdom's nobles, ministers, and royal family into undead creatures overnight was intentional, for some unknown purpose.

Livy was more concerned with where he was right now than with exploring the Lionhearts' schemes.

And what is the purpose of the Misty World?

Is it just a dating and job-seeking platform for Sky Island?

The person in front of me seems to know a lot.

But Levi didn't understand Delis's lifestyle and way of speaking.

After thinking it over, he decided to "confess".

The other party is on Sky Island and is very likely to be affected by the changes on Golden Island—such as the revival of Casano and the Lionheart Royal Family. Perhaps this is why the other party is in a hurry to see Delilah.

The figure shrouded in mist couldn't mimic a "bitter smile," so Li Wei slowed his tone, trying his best to convey the feeling of a "bitter smile," and said:

"...I was forced to wake up."

"An adventurer party stormed into the Moon Town auditorium and dismantled the magic stone tablet where Gern and I were hiding."

"Cassano's recovery was therefore accelerated."

"—I hope it has nothing to do with me."

"Because I've lost too much of my memory... I only remember coming here to meet you. Perhaps... you are someone very important to me."

Li Wei recounted what he had experienced and seen. Since he couldn't hide the truth from the other party by fabricating lies, he decided to confess everything as Delis.

really.

The other party remained silent for a long time.

He said quietly:

“Delis, you are my student. When you called me sister just now, I wondered if it was really you.”

"Now it's confirmed, you are Delis."

"I'm sorry, when I received the news of Cassano's recovery on Golden Island, I guessed that it was related to your and Gern's early recovery, but I can't help you."

"You two carry too many expectations from the Lionheart royal family and Cassano. Alas... you two are too obsessed."

Is becoming the 'Isley Tree' really that important?

Old man!

They were just fooling around.

Li Wei was glad she was straightforward; judging from her tone, Gern and Delis seemed to be key figures in the Lionheart royal family's revival.

Therefore, the case was solved.

The resurgence of Cassano and the Lionheart royal family is indeed related to his deconstruction of the Moontown auditorium...

No.

He's not Klein; he can't take the blame for this, and he absolutely can't tell anyone else.

As for becoming the "Isley Tree," Livy couldn't understand it; perhaps it was related to the Lionheart royal family's schemes.

He doesn't care what the Lionheart royal family is up to right now.

Following the form of address given by the other party:

"Teacher... to be honest, I have lost a lot of my memory. My instincts led me to come see you. I think... there must be something very important that I left behind here."

"I don't even know where this fog is..."

The other party agreed:

"I've never seen anyone succeed with the method you and the Lionheart Royal Family chose. Premature revival leads to memory loss? Hmm... I'll take note of that. It's a good academic discovery."

"As for this place—it's the magic network platform of Sky Island."

"This is the Magic Network Exchange Platform. If you walk forward, you'll see a green stone tablet. That area is the exchange platform for difficult questions about elemental magic. Continue forward, and the purple stone tablet is your storage on the Magic Network Platform. Further ahead, the red stone tablet is the experiment platform for spells and elemental magic."

"Upon reaching the destination, there is a golden stone tablet with a map of the Sky Island imprinted on it."

The other person had something else to say, but it was fragmented and became:

"...I...see...the..."

It's really a network lag issue.

The figure in the mist vanished with a "poof".

……

Sky Island.

A letter addressed to Golden Island flew out of the office of the vice-principal of the Elf Academy.

The Vice Dean, Aisha, a pure-blooded moon elf nearing three thousand years old, has slightly graying temples and is known for her tough methods.

A thousand years ago, it was proposed that "the Elf Academy should play a greater role on Sky Island," opening up the right to "further study" to other races, which helped the Elf Academy leap to become a behemoth that could rival the Mage, Priest, and Alchemy Academies.

However, it also drew criticism from within the pure-blooded elf race, which reveres the purity of bloodlines, who accused it of "intending to restore the dark age of the elves."

The envelope to Golden Island contained only a short sentence:

“Bring Orisa to me immediately.”

The recipients are the two vice presidents of the Golden Island Eternal Heart Airship Merchant Guild, and the parents of the little elf Orisa.

……

Following his "teacher's" instructions, Li Wei walked forward and came across a green stone tablet.

The "teacher" said this area is specifically for answering difficult questions about the elemental system.

It was filled with figures shrouded in mist.

As they approached, numerous identical mist figures would emerge around each mist figure, speaking in succession:

"Why do elementalists dominate Sky Island?"

"Where does the future lie for non-elemental systems?!"

"Since they're not on Sky Island anyway, these barbarians should just obediently serve as slaves to the elementalists. They don't even want to bite their master!"

……

"I sincerely ask, if an elementalist can achieve the crucial first-tier breakthrough of four-elemental fusion and reach 'island-level' or higher talent, is there really no way for a non-elementalist to match their development at the first tier?"

"Why should non-elemental users have the same talent advancement methods as elemental users? A bunch of professionals who are like beasts do they deserve to have elemental talent advancement methods?"

"I've heard that...secret martial arts are prevalent in the Eastern Continent, and they have methods to enhance talent comparable to those of elemental magic."

"Then go to the Eastern Continent, read a few fabricated miscellaneous books about the Eastern Continent, and think you know a lot about the Eastern Continent—if you don't like using your brain, just take it off and let the dwarves use it as testicles to swing around."

"Kurich!"

"Huh? There's another beast here."

……

Li Wei confirmed that non-elemental professionals have a similar status on Sky Island as they do on Golden Island.

That makes sense. The Northern Continent is rife with secret arts, which destined it to dominate the elemental system.

In the Eastern Continent where Yulia lives, secret martial arts are prevalent. Judging from her words, elementalists in the Eastern Continent are considered inferior, comparable to non-elementalists in the Northern Continent.

Continuing his search, Li Wei finally found some useful information from a bunch of chatter where elementalists and non-elementalists were arguing.

"Hello everyone, I'm a freshman at the Mage Academy. My name is 'Avril.' I just arrived at Sky Island from 'Lyan Island.' I'd like to ask you all, what's above the first-tier four-element fusion? And how is it divided?"

"Hehe, newbie—Sky Island is different from other islands. There are island boundaries on the lower island, but no island boundaries on the upper island. You can freely fuse the elemental systems you possess without any restrictions, as long as your body and talent can withstand it. Even the legendary eleven-elemental fusion can be achieved."

"Why don't you take a look at the mage academy's freshman handbook? Five to seven elemental fusions are called island-level, which are divided into three levels: small, medium, and large. Eight elements are called island-guarding level, which means that elemental professionals with this kind of talent can grow up to guard the Sky Island. For example, several vice deans of the academy are all eight-elemental talents."

"The fusion of the nine elements is what we call: Dragon Slayer level. In the future, it can easily annihilate the strongest creature on the Grand Continent: the dragon!"

On Sky Island, only four deans from the Mage Academy, Priest Academy, Elf Academy, and Alchemy Academy revealed their Dragon-Slaying level talents at Tier 1.

"Wow! I've collected information on Senior Avril's freshman status. Her elemental talent is truly terrifying. She's been in the mage academy for five years and is already about to advance to the third rank or higher, breaking the record held by Lord Lister for the fastest advancement to the third rank or higher in the Lone Sail Sea."

"Nine elemental talents, it would be strange if they weren't terrifying!"

"Not only that, I heard that Senior Avril has been suppressing her necromancy talent and is unwilling to integrate it into herself?"

……

Is it really worth promoting the nine elements so much?

Li Wei thought to himself, what does it matter that he has eleven elemental talents?

No, he actually has a fourteen-elemental talent.

The three strange elements—time, space, and spirit (real name)—were too terrifying for Li Wei to make contact with, which is why he disappeared.

He currently possesses five inherited magical arts: lightning, wind, ice, water, and nature. If he successfully integrates them all, he will be able to advance from "Golden Dragon-level Talent" to "Dragon Slayer-level Talent".

According to what others have said, Avril, with her nine elemental talents, will reach the third tier in just five years.

Li Wei estimated that he would take even less time!

Multi-elemental talents seem to be closely related to the speed of advancement to the second and third tiers.

Whether it was due to Delis or Li Wei, he noticed several second- and third-tier elemental beings exchanging messages. When he approached the misty figures, he only saw a group of mute misty figures communicating.
