Chapter 491: The King of the Sky
"Maurice, how high is this mountain of truth?"
"9999.9 meters."
"So precise?"
"How can the data measured by us wizards be inaccurate? Oh no! I forgot to get off the airship just now. I can only walk to the ground step by step. President Hater's residence is at the highest point, 5999.9 meters above the ground."
As the Cloud Shuttle moved closer to the Peak of Truth, Ivan discovered that this strange mountain was truly bare, without any vegetation on it.
The reason is not difficult to analyze. The metal content of the rock and soil that make up the mountain is surprisingly high, which also makes the overall peak light golden.
There are three rings in the middle of the Peak of Truth, which are the three ground platforms. On the platforms stand wizard towers. The appearance of the wizard towers is also light gold, and they look integrated with the Peak of Truth.
In fact, these three rings are located at a lower position. As Morris said, the top platform is only 5999.9 meters, not much higher than the middle position of the Peak of Truth.
The Peak of Truth has nine corners and nine faces, and the platforms on each face are not connected.
There was only a seven-story wizard tower on one side of the highest platform. The Cloud Shuttle headed straight for one of them. After a while, the airship slowly docked on the ground on one side of the wizard tower.
"There are only nine wizard towers on this floor, and President Hati occupies one of them. This is the exclusive treatment of the Great Sage. This floor is also called the 'Court of the Great Sage', or the 'Court of the Void King'.
Below is the 'Court of Arcane' and the 'Court of Great Scholars', with a total of 9981 residences on the three floors.
These eighty-one wizard towers are the dream of all wizards. Although they may not look the most dazzling from the outside, there must be something special inside. So this is not just a simple residence. Don’t miss it when you come here.”
Morris spoke to Ivan solemnly, and his words showed his great longing for this place.
However, he knew that unless he had great luck like Boss Hotes, he would probably not be able to obtain one of the wizard towers in his lifetime.
"Really? Then I'll find a chance to go and take a look. How about going together?" Seeing that he said it so seriously, Ivan was somewhat tempted.
"No, you don't have to go look for him. Someone will find you soon and take you to your new residence. We don't have the qualifications to do so, and we can't join in the fun." Morris shook his head.
"I am looking forward."
Ivan nodded slightly and walked to the rear deck of the Cloud Shuttle.
As he looked around, he felt as if he was looking down on all the other mountains. He could take in most of the City of Truth, which made him feel very proud.
Looking up, all I could see were lingering clouds and a soft glow of light, without any sign of the Supreme Council.
"You can't see the High Council from down here," said Morris.
"This is good too. It doesn't seem depressing." Ivan withdrew his gaze.
"Evan, I have to go back to the Obaba family. If I don't come back in time, please inform me when you leave."
"Easy to say."
After Ivan agreed, Morris got off the Cloud Shuttle. There were stairs leading down in the middle of this floor. Flying was obviously prohibited on the Peak of Truth, so he could only walk down to the ground.
Ivan did not see President Hatti come out. After looking for a while, he returned to his room on the Cloud Shuttle.
……
the other side.
Also at the top of the Peak of Truth, Tanya and Grace came to a seven-story wizard tower and waited quietly at the door.
After a moment, a light breeze came down, transforming into a graceful silhouette of dancing in gauze.
"Tanya, Lord Gallif asked you to come in."
"Thanks, Daisy."
"In the study, go by yourself, I'll talk to Grace."
Daisy is the close servant of the King of the Sky. Tanya nodded after hearing her words, and her fighting spirit turned into wings behind her, and she flew high up along the wizard tower.
The strange look made Daisy unable to help but look at it a few more times.
"Miss Tanya seems to have come out of the haze."
"Well, she found a ray of hope."
"Tell me."
“——”
While the two were talking, Tanya entered the wizard tower from the fifth floor. Led by another servant, she came to a spacious hall full of bookshelves.
Seeing no one inside, Tanya deliberately slowed down her pace and searched along the rows of bookshelves. As expected, she found an old man in a green robe next to a row of bookshelves. The old man had white hair and a silver beard, and a thin face. He looked no different from an ordinary old man.
"Tanya has met Feng Zu."
Seeing the old man looking up at her, Tanya hurried forward to greet him. The man in front of her was the 'King of the Sky' who was regarded as the number one in the wizarding world.
"Haha, you've grown a lot. You know not to make trouble when you come here." Galif said with a loving smile.
"Ah, Feng Zu, why are you bringing this up again? Didn't we agree not to bring it up again? That was just my first time here. I didn't know who you were, and I didn't mean to disturb you."
After hearing this, Tanya felt relieved and retorted a little shyly.
"I heard from someone that your family recently arranged a marriage for you. Are you not happy about it?"
"Ah."
Feng Zu's next words made her nervous again. She actually had too many grievances she wanted to express. Only one word was left on her lips, and she nodded heavily at the same time.
"Then why don't you come to me? Don't you believe in me, the ancestor of wind?" Galifa asked again.
"No, no, I just - just -" Tanya kept shaking her head, her eyes misting unconsciously, and she looked like an abandoned cub.
"Just what?" Gallif reached out and stroked her head.
"I just don't want you, Fengzu, to see me in such a miserable state, and I don't want to disappoint you again." His action gave Tanya great courage to say what was hidden deep in her heart.
"Silly boy, you seem to be much more cheerful now. Can you tell me what happened?"
"Well, a few years ago, I came up with a plan and went to the Empty Valley to find someone who was able to help me. His name was 'Evan Marichatton'--"
Under the loving gaze of the King of the Sky, Tanya seemed to want to express all the grievances in her heart. Sentence after sentence, she recounted her recent experiences.
By the time she came to her senses, she had said everything she should and shouldn't have said.
Tanya suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a strange and powerful force around Fengzu, which could attract people's minds. This was the influence of the unique force field of a fifth-level wizard, and it was the power of the soul.
She was in an unstable mood just now and was affected unconsciously.
“Feng Zu, how can you bully the younger generation like this?”
Tanya was so angry that she looked at the famous King of the Sky.
"Haha, I remember I reminded you before, but it was you, a silly kid, who didn't pay attention. Isn't it good this way? It turns out you like another girl from the Gardner family. You are still so unique." Gallif said happily.
"You don't mind?" Tanya asked in surprise.
"What's the matter? Don't underestimate the tolerance of a wizard." Gallif said. "Let's not talk about this. I didn't know there was such a thing as the way of chivalry you mentioned.
However, I have heard of the name of the 'Ancestor God of Justice'. He is indeed a great figure in the Star Realm and is worthy of respect."
"Wizard Ivan said that the way of chivalry is the way of life. Life can bring miracles and may also help me get out of my current predicament. Do you think this makes sense?"
Even the King of the Sky expressed admiration for the Star Ancestor of Justice. Tanya undoubtedly felt more hopeful and hurriedly asked the question that concerned her most.
"Not in a hurry."
Gallifur held the book in one hand and waited with the other hand open.
Tanya had no choice but to suppress her inner anxiety and wait quietly with him for something.
A few seconds later, a purple transparent crystal ball floated down from somewhere and landed precisely on Galifur's outstretched palm. After the crystal ball fell, it began to emit a green light.
"Feng Zu, this—can't be done!"
Tanya's face showed shock when she saw this. She knew what this was.
Isn't it the 'Crystal Ball of Truth' that is praised as the authority of the Void King? It is not used lightly unless it is a major event in the wizarding world. How could I be worthy of asking Feng Zu to use the Crystal Ball of Truth?
"Keep quiet, little Tanya."
Gallif shouted at her, and Tanya closed her mouth involuntarily.
But she was anxious, because she was not qualified to use such a precious thing now.
Little did she know that her every move was being observed by Gallif. The old man sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that this silly child had lost most of her self-confidence. It might be a wise move for her to take another path.
