Age of Adepts

Castle in the Sky, inner ring main control lobby.

It is a giant hall built in the heart of a mountain, with nearly 10,000 square feet of land.

However, this description is inaccurate.

To be precise, it should have been before this huge and magnificent hall of mystery was created, and in order to conceal its existence, the Silver Alliance put a peak shell on the outside. Most of the buildings in the inner ring were later attached, and they existed in order to study nearby and guard the mysterious hall in the belly of the mountain.

If you have the opportunity to become a Wizard of the Silver League, wear a silver robe, and become an honorable member of the governing council, then you will be eligible to step into this Hall of Mystery to study and learn the ultimate secret of the Oracle Wizard.

Step in here and you'll be amazed to discover that this is a mechanical ocean of runes.

Inside the Mysterious Palace there is a vast and invisible space in which trillions of gears, spindles, springs, levers… and other indescribable metal parts and components float.

They are big and small, how many they are, and they don't look exactly the same shape. The only thing they have in common is that each part and component is silver-white and is engraved with a weird golden symbol.

These metal parts, large enough to be as large as an island, may only be accessible to the smaller one with the help of a magnifying glass of the highest magnification.

They seemed to float in the sky in chaos, but if someone could see the whole mysterious space at a glance, he would be surprised to find that it was all regular again.

Throughout the mysterious space, hundreds of millions of Rubik machines are operating under some powerful rule-based force.

A mechanical part and metal member of various sizes are randomly transported inside. Once two different parts collide, random assemblies are combined into a new part. And once there are more parts in the assembly, there will be an unusual number of symbolic mechanical assemblies in the mysterious space.

No one understands what such a plaintext mechanical assembly is.

Maybe it's part of a clock mechanical mechanism, maybe part of the trunk of a powerful puppet, maybe just a bunch of meaningless gear bites, of course, more likely a prototype of a mysterious mechanical creation that no one has ever seen before...

Unfortunately, such a composite mechanical structure cannot exist for too long.

Soon, the newly assembled Symbol mechanical assembly will be re-split into countless foundation parts in a new collision. It's just weird that these newly disassembled parts are obviously different from the pre-assembled parts!

As a result, trillions of silver parts float in the void in the Mysterious Hall, repeated the process of assembling and then collapsing. But no matter how they are decomposed, they are always confined to that nothingness and do not overflow.

Just as if… there is a transparent border there!

This is the most central part of the Castle in the Sky - the Mechanical Realm.

Today is still the most common day in the mechanical world.

More than a dozen dressed in silver robes, witches with silver badges on their chests travel through this mechanical ocean protected by a glimmer of silver fluorescence. They are all members of the parliament of the Silver Coalition and possess an extraordinarily high status and authority of envy to outsiders.

But here they are just a bunch of hard-working gardeners and porters.

In this mysterious space, it is difficult for any living organism to survive without the protection of the Orthodox Protector. Either it is crushed into meat sauce by the assemblage of dense and numb gear bearings, or it is directly vaporized by an energy storm caught in a suddenly disintegrating syllabus assembly.

The whole city of the sky is like a giant concentrator that brings together enormous amounts of witchcraft energy every day and injects it into this mysterious space, providing it with constantly powerful energy. And what this mysterious space pays off for is a powerful spelling machine with Mortavius.

Every day, some silver wizards enter the mysterious space and unfold a puppet scroll that gathers the hearts and minds of countless Oracle wizards in a densely numb, layered, unexpected ocean of ciphertext machines.

When the silver light swept around the perimeter, countless gears, bearings, grinding wheels, drive rods, springs, pipes… and many strange parts that could not be called names floated on the scroll like bees attracted by floral scents and began to assemble themselves according to the force of the rules engraved in the scroll.

Without any external intervention at all, a perfectly structured puppet scroll with perfect rules, a beautifully shaped silver construction puppet with Mortgage Energy is automatically combined. And driven by the power of the rules, the moment the silver-constructed puppet was completed, it also possessed a very high level of combat wisdom, and began to demonstrate a variety of highly challenging battle movements in accordance with the Bulletin Witch Array etched in the body.

If the rules of the puppet reel are free of any conflict, this silver-constructed puppet can be maintained indefinitely and forever. But once there is any slight conflict of rules in it, the silver assembly puppet will suddenly collapse as it runs, reverting to all sorts of original parts and components.

The Silver Robe Wizard, on the other hand, is responsible for documenting the entire process of assembling and disintegrating the Silver Composition Puppet to give the Oui Wizards the opportunity to continue to correct the errors in the improvement reel. With this approach, the Oracle Wizards are able to constantly make mistakes and constantly improve until the silver puppets show the strength to meet their needs.

In this way, they can deliver the final model directly to the puppet factory in large quantities of manufacturing, thus avoiding a lot of waste and lengthy trial and error processes in the early puppet R&D.

Of course, with the aid of mechanical secrets, they save a lot of resources and time, but can a mature and powerful architectural puppet design be done so easily?

The entire Sky City has tens of thousands of Ory Wizards, but less than one-tenth are eligible to wear silver robes, and only one-thousandth are eligible to be members of Parliament. Ultimately, there is no more than a dozen points of access to mechanical secrets and listing them as research projects.

And they all have the title of elders of parliament, with enormous power and prestige in the entire city of the sky and in the entire area ruled by the Silver Alliance!

So depending on the competencies within the Silver Alliance, some people divide the Alliance members into five hierarchies. The lowest order, of course, are ordinary silver robes (step 1) with the status of Ory Wizard, which are the foundation of the silver league and have some privileges in the City of Sky.

Higher than the Silver Robe Wizard class are the Silver Robe Enforcement Officers (Level 2), more powerful Orthodox Wizards who are mainly responsible for maintaining the normal operation and safety of Sky City and have some powers to dispatch Sky Guards. Silver robe enforcers are headquartered in the nest above Sky City, where Sky Guard is based.

If ordinary silver robes are civilians, then silver robe enforcers are the equivalent of a police presence. And Sky Guard is a legion of assembled puppets manipulated by silver robe enforcers.

A silver robe congressman (step 3) is higher than a silver robe enforcer!

They are often played by some of the masters of Aoi and are core members of the development of the Silver Union. Most of the day-to-day affairs of the Silver Union are decided and executed by them, and their main venue is the Union Parliament Hall in the Central Rim.

Parliamentarians with higher powers than silver robes are the Speakers and Elders of Parliament (step 4).

The Silver Coalition currently has a Speaker and a Deputy Speaker, as well as seven Elders.

And these nine men are the core strength that sustains the entire Silver Alliance. They are also the strength guarantee of one of the three leading sorcerer organizations in the Silver Alliance. It is with their presence that the Silver Alliance, an organization, can last for tens of thousands of years without fail.

At any given time, the Silver Alliance has at least nine Class 4 Olympians. They will find ways to replenish their membership in a short period of time, even if it is compromised by factors such as end-of-life or accidental death.

So the Nine Class 4 Wizards will always be the number of top fighters on the surface of the Silver League. Whether or not some power is hidden in private will always be a mystery to outsiders!

Owing to the perennial burial of witchcraft laboratories, Oui witches usually deal most with powerful and loyal witchcraft puppets, thus also cultivating their habit of admiring rules and order. So when the outside wizard came to Sky City, the most appreciated Silver Alliance was fantasy, power and stereotyping.

As the Silver Alliance brings together nearly 60-70% of the Wizards of the Continent, the City of Sky is also a big stage for all sorts of witchcraft puppets. So far, how many powerful witchcraft puppets with strange powers have accumulated in the Silver Alliance, making it one of the most curious things for witches from all regions of the Wizard Continent!

Although the Silver Alliance sells a number of witchcraft puppets each year to supply the wizard families with foreign warfare, they retain more. Nobody knows how many witchcraft puppets the Silver Alliance has hidden in private, but everyone knows it, and that must be a huge number.

At this moment, however, an unusual alarm was sounded abruptly in a space management committee under the headquarters of Silver Robe Law Enforcers located in the Mid-Ring region of Sky City.

“Alarms, alarms, detection of abnormal spatial fluctuations… Preliminary determination of small ectopic wormholes… Target area is being locked…”

“The target area has been locked and the source of the spatial fluctuations is located at 167 Champs-Elysées Avenue, District XII of the Outer Ring… verified as owned by the Byron Wizards family in the dispersed Tallinn Dagon area…"

“Sky Guard Battle Squad 935 has set out to request that a silver robe enforcer be sent to the area to preside...”
