Age of Adepts

Ruijing Garden, Floating City.

As the most gigantic floating city in the province of Ruijing, Ruijing Garden was like a holiday paradise for all the magicians.

On top of the endless and vast Flower Language Plain, which was so vast that your eyesight got tired, Ruijing Garden Floating City was floating above the Crystal Lake, above the clouds. Wherever you lie in the Whispering Plain, when the sky is clear, when the white clouds can no longer cover the city's huge body, you can admire the beautiful silhouette of the floating city.

It was the time of day when the sun shone brightest.

The warmth of the sun shines through the arcane barriers, spreading warmth throughout the entire city.

The magnificent gardens that resemble the city gardens, the white jade arcane squares, the beautiful fountains filled with the atmosphere of the arcane, the elegant buildings that line up one after another, and the arcane casters who roam the gardens, the jade paths and the fountains with scrolls in their arms.......

No matter who saw this scene, they would instantly feel calm and still, and feel a strong and almost indestructible academic atmosphere of 'pursuit of knowledge and truth'.

In a way, the Aurors were indeed seekers of knowledge and practitioners of truth!

At this moment, however, within the central hall of the Floating Sky City in Ruijing Garden, a number of high-ranking arcane masters were sitting around a huge long table, relatively sad and helplessly angry. They were all dressed in light blue arcane robes with golden threads outlining all sorts of mysterious arcane runes on them.

Looking at the rank and strength, the ones who were able to sit at the table were without exception all high-ranking arcane masters with 3 rings or more.

A female Arcane Master with a golden ring on her head and a pretty face was at the head of the long table, and the Arcane badge on her chest, which was engraved with an open scroll, had five quill pens on it. This indicates the profession and rank of the female magician.

The spreading of the ancient scrolls meant that she was a scholar of the scrolls with a focus on scholarly research, while the five quill pens indicated that her rank was five rings.

As in the Wizarding World, the power limit of the Morion bit is at the peak of rank 4.

Therefore, a 5th Ring Arcane Scholar like her could only stay within the Arcane Barrier in order to avoid the repercussions of the bit's power. Once she left the Floating City and lost the protection of the Arcane Barrier, her own power would have to be slashed by half and pressed into the 4th rank.

But the good news was that the techniques and fighting methods of using higher power were still there, allowing her to still be above the vast majority of 4 ringed arcane masters.

That was one of the main reasons why the great arcane masters still dared to stay out of it even though they knew that the inside of the bit was incredibly dangerous!

The Grand Auror of Furya looked around the arena and cleared her throat before speaking in a slightly hoarse voice the main reason for the gathering of the crowd today.

"Our connection with the Fourth Arcane Tower, the Seventh Arcane Tower, and the Ninth Arcane Tower has been completely severed..."

As soon as Furella's words landed on the floor, the long table resounded with a loud scream.

As this Arcane Empire was crumbling, several Arcane Towers on the outskirts of Ryan's province suddenly lost contact. This... this couldn't help but give the Austrians present an extremely bad association and premonition!

"What are the astrologers doing? Floating Sky City takes out so many resources and gold coins to support them every year, and they can't even detect such a big mess on the periphery beforehand?" A 4 Ring Olympian slapped the table angrily.

"Yeah... yeah... didn't that Noyon claim to be a master of prophecy? How did he not predict the approach of the enemy? Don't we have a clue as to who is attacking us?" Immediately someone stepped forward to echo the words.

Hearing the questioning of many of her colleagues, a bald female warlock wearing a purple robe with a body decorated with sun, moon, and star patterns opened her eyes coldly and explained, "The Imperial Commander's Department has already issued an order that all astrologers of higher ranks and above have rushed to the Garland Province to help in the war. The remaining astrological apprentices can't get rid of the repercussions of the bit turbulence again, and the astrological station has been unable to start for more than half a month..."

"It's impossible to predict the enemy's invasion in advance, which we understand. After all, the river of destiny within the bit has been churned up by multiple off-world powerhouses, and no one should be able to get a glimpse of anything from it. However, the enemy has now invaded the Ryan Province and attacked three arcane towers. Could it be... could it be that you still can't see something under these circumstances?" This time it was that 5 ringed Furilla who was asking the question.

Although the bald female warlock only had 3 rings, but with the astrologer's noble status, she could still talk to Furilla as an equal.

Hearing Furilla's question, she closed her eyes in pain and said arduously, "There are three enemies! Two of them have been shrouded by an abnormally mysterious power, making it impossible for our Eye of Destiny to get close."

"Then what about the other one? Who the hell are they?"

"Wizards...they're evil wizards from the Wizarding World!"

The tabletop immediately resounded with a loud pumping sound.

Although the invasion was only a group of wizards, far better than the rest of the few enemies.

But that also referred to the Rikei Garden Floating City during the heyday of the Arcane Empire, which had the power to compete with the evil sorcerers who had come across the border. But now, the vast majority of the great Olympians who excelled in combat had been transferred away, and the only one left was a five-ringed great Olympian who was also a scroll scholar.

Under such circumstances, even if it was the weaker sorcerer of the many enemies that came, the battle situation still wasn't necessarily much more optimistic for Ruijing Garden Floating City.

After all, if the other party dared to cross the border, then the one who had smuggled in would definitely be a group of elite, extremely high-ranking sorcerers. With their powerful battle prowess in killing, pestilence, curses, and sneak attacks, it would simply be extremely difficult for Floating Sky City to pull out a group of arcane wizards strong enough to fight them hands down!

With the Floating Sky City at their backs, and with the addition of the powerful arcane facilities, the arcane masters might still have the strength to fight them. Leaving the Floating Sky City and the Arcane Tower, even if both sides were of the same rank and had the same equipment, the Arcane Masters were far from being a match for the evil sorcerers who specialized in fighting and killing.

This was already an ironclad fact that the Austrians had verified with the lives and blood of countless of their colleagues!

"Can you determine their intent to attack?" Even that 5th Ring Grand Occultist still felt a few numbness when he heard the name of the sorcerer, and couldn't help but hurriedly pursue the question.

"The remaining two teams can't be tracked or judged... and the only team left is made up of four rank 4 Sorcerers who are killing their way straight to us!"

"Floating Sky City... their target is Floating Sky City?" Flora could barely believe her ears.

This was the control hub of the Ryan Province, the Ruiken Gardens Floating City!

Those evil sorcerers had become so unscrupulous that they dared to invade the still powerful Floating Sky City with a mere four rank 4 team?

That's...unbelievable too!

"Keep track of this team of witches at all times, and report to me as soon as there is any movement . In addition, inform all the arcane towers stationed all over the world to not worry about the energy loss of the elemental pools anymore, and immediately go on maximum alert, never let those evil sorcerers casually invade the interior of the arcane towers again..."

"Yes!"

"Also, the Arcane Vigilance Force must be dispatched immediately to try to find those evil sorcerers as soon as possible and wipe them out on the outskirts of the Floral Plain. The three floating cities in the Ryan Province are responsible for 17% of the Out-of-Territory Battlefield's arcane energy supply, and we must not let the evil sorcerers destroy our energy system by messing around!"

"Yes!"

There were three floating cities in the Ryan Province, and the other party had sent three groups of powerful witches... to say that there wasn't the slightest hint of a connection, to death they didn't believe it.

All of the participating Aurors couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted.

They had a hunch that these three groups of witches were afraid that they were coming for the energy logistics supply system of the Arcane Empire.

Once they destroyed the energy transmission here, the great arcane masters who were still fighting against many powerful enemies outside the bit barrier would also be cut off from their energy supply. At that time, it was feared that the entire Arcane Empire would no longer be able to stop the many evil creatures from invading the Morian Plane!

While everyone was discussing and discussing, the entire floating city suddenly shook lightly, and a huge pillar of energy rose up from the arcane light tower in the center of the city, penetrating the vault of the sky and betting on a certain place beyond the bitter barrier.

There, there was also a magnificent and enormous Floating Sky Fortress, which was guiding a torrent of energy in all sorts of bizarre ways into the nearly dry elemental pool. The energy reserves of the Floating Fortress were also beginning to fill up at a rate that was visible to the naked eye.

And 2,000 kilometers away from the Floating Fortress was an extra-territorial battlefield of intertwined flesh and blood, where life and death were inexorable.

The strange beasts that swarmed in and the waiting Floating Fortress clashed and fought unceasingly, and a beam of energy steeped in destruction swept across the battlefield. Wherever they went, beasts were destroyed, flesh and blood burned.

But this kind of fighting was also extremely energy-draining.

Therefore, every now and then, a floating fortress that covered an area the size of a small continent would exit the battlefield and float back near the Morian Bit Wall. Then, the floating city that was anchored there communicating with the inner part of the bit began an ultra-long-range energy recharge.

In the vast continent of Kentos, there were three floating cities floating above the earth nodes, acting as a midway transfer of arcane energy.

After the recharging process was complete, the floating cities would have a brief period of energy exhaustion. During this time, it is also the most vulnerable to enemy attacks.

In order to protect the Floating City from the attacks of the evil sorcerers, a tall arcane tower tower towering above it shook its body and flew away from the Regency Garden, flying fast towards somewhere at the end of the sky.
