Synthetic Wizard

"The predecessor of the Starry Tower was a Wizard Tower, said to be left behind by a powerful itinerant wizard who died in battle. Due to severe damage, it was impossible to repair, leaving almost only a shell. Thus, after the All Things Association took over, it was transformed into the present Starry Tower."

Tanner introduces while leading Sunan and Lize into the Starry Tower.

The first floor is an incredibly spacious circular hall, entirely paved with white jade stones, exuding luxury.

Inside the hall, at regular intervals stand two-meter-high green stone monuments, densely packed, reminiscent of a stone forest.

The surface of the stone monuments displays dense writing, recording detailed task information.

Sunan’s gaze sweeps around, finding that the task contents are basically about recruiting wizards to explore certain dimensions, hiring labor to conquer dimensions, purchasing certain information, etc.

After a round of looking, Sunan quickly loses interest.

For wandering wizards not part of any wizard faction, such places may be very appealing, as they can earn resources and gather information, but for Sunan, the hall’s function is minimal.

The resources he can’t find are basically impossible to find here.

And truly valuable information wouldn’t appear in such places either.

Withdrawing his gaze, the three of them enter the teleportation array in the hall’s corner, heading straight to the dueling platform located on the seventh floor.

Here is also a circular hall, just smaller in size.

The number of stone monuments is relatively fewer, distributed at the hall’s edges, forming a circle around it.

Many wizards stand in front of the stone monuments, pointing and whispering to each other.

Sunan walks to one of the stone monuments and looks at the writing on it.

[Platform No. 13]

[Platform Master: Trevor Evans]

[Affiliation: Iron Construct]

[Level: Level 2 Crystallization Wizard]

[Bet: Shadow Steel Golem X10]

[Challenge Fee: 5000 Lower Magic Stones]

Noticing Sunan’s gaze, Tanner eagerly explains: "The rule for the dueling platforms here is that only wizards of the same level as the platform master can initiate a challenge, meaning only a Level 2 Wizard can challenge a Level 2 Wizard, and a Level 3 Wizard can challenge a Level 3 Wizard. Therefore, those daring to initiate dueling on the platforms are basically Crystallization Wizards, and their combat abilities are among the best in their level."

Lize glanced at the stone monument, showing a look of recollection: "I remember Iron Construct seems to be a third-rate wizard influence, right? They’re said to be good at crafting puppets?"

"Lady Lize is correct."

Tanner smiles in agreement, showing more respect in his demeanor upon knowing Lize is a Level 2 Wizard.

"The puppets crafted by Iron Construct are famous for their durability. Using the same materials, their crafted puppets are slightly stronger than those crafted by other wizards and are very popular among wizards. These 10 Shadow Steel Golems are at least worth 70,000 Lower Magic Stones."

Just pay the price of 5000 Lower Magic Stones, and if you win the challenge, you’ll get a bet worth 70,000 Lower Magic Stones.

Thirteen times the profit would tempt any wizard confident in their own strength.

While Sunan and the others are chatting, a wizard approaches Platform No. 13’s stone monument, glances at it, then casually reaches out to touch the monument. In a flash of light, he’s already gone from the spot.

"The dueling spot is in another dimensional space, so no matter how intense the fight is, you don’t have to worry about damaging the Starry Tower itself."

As Tanner speaks, suddenly he hears a voice from behind.

"Tanner."

Turning around, a robed wizard approaches, his face covered with an eerie bird mask that hides half his face, with several feathers in either bright red or vivid green on his head, presenting a somewhat peculiar appearance.

"Blaise, long time no see."

Tanner clearly is well acquainted with the newcomer, greeting him with a broad smile.

"Almost three hundred years since we last met. Where have you been all this time, never seen you come back."

Tanner shows a bitter smile: "It’s a long story, ran into some issues."

Seeing Tanner is reluctant to elaborate, Blaise wisely doesn’t press further, instead turning his gaze to Sunan and Lize.

"Who might these two be?"

Tanner hurriedly says: "Let me introduce you, this is Lord Sunan and Lady Lize."

Blaise’s expression turns serious, knowing anyone Tanner refers to as ’Lord’ must be at least a Level 2 Wizard.

Tanner further introduces Sunan and Lize to Blaise: "This is Blaise from the Ten Thousand Headed Bird."

Ten Thousand Headed Bird?

Sunan quickly recalls that this seems to be another wizard influence, apparently skilled at cultivating Exotic Beasts, reportedly holding over a hundred large and medium-sized exotic beast breeding bases (Eco-Parks).

"Sunan Yanest, from the Star Alliance." Sunan nods slightly.

"Lize Russell." Lize also introduces herself, "also from the Star Alliance."

"Star Alliance!" Blaise’s eyes light up, "Could it be the Star Alliance that recently repelled the Dark Throne’s assault and joined the Wisdom Code front?"

Before Sunan and Lize can respond, Tanner cheerfully interjects: "Which other Star Alliance could it be? Lord Sunan is indeed the leader of the Star Alliance."

Blaise solemnly expresses his respect.

Matters involving the Dark Throne naturally grab attention in the wizarding circles.

Not to mention it connects with the long-sealed Starlight Continent.

The Dark Throne dispatched a candidate for the wizard in dark robes, along with an entire dimension’s army and five wizard towers to attack, only to be utterly defeated, with the candidate killed, and even the controlled dimension falling into the hands of the Star Alliance.

In nearly two thousand years, when has the Dark Throne suffered such a loss?

Moreover, the one responsible for this outcome is a native wizard influence developed within a sealed dimension!
