When Alia first began channeling magic, she was slightly surprised, because she found the process incredibly easy. Almost imdiately after starting, she had already achieved 0.1% magical transformation.
She had only just beco a peak tier Listener, yet she could accomplish this right away. This reminded her of certain rumors.
It was said that an extrely rare few possessed a very special constitution, terd the "Magic-Attuned Constitution." Those individuals could undergo magical transformation at speeds far exceeding others during the Resonator stage. The process will be obstacle-free and smooth, without any hindrance or hardship.
To determine whether soone possessed this Magic-Attuned Constitution, one could look at their performance imdiately upon reaching the peak tier Listener rank. If, right after entering this tier, they achieved at least 0.1% magical transformation, they were most likely endowed with this rare constitution.
’So I actually have this kind of constitution?’
Alia was sowhat astonished, then her mood turned delightfully bright.
She felt she could finally catch up to Carlotta once again.
She diligently continued the magical transformation, but ultimately the process stalled at 0.3%. She encountered the sa situation as Carlotta, her body and magic had not yet adapted to the enhanced state and required further settling.
"Carlotta..."
Alia briefly explained her situation.
"Magic-Attuned Constitution? That’s wonderful!"
Carlotta was delighted, hugging Alia and planting two kisses on her. "I think not only are you Magic-Attuned, you’re also Carlotta loving physique. Absolutely irresistible."
"Y-You stop it... my face is all wet with your saliva."
Alia blushed involuntarily.
...
At dawn.
After once again arriving at this mont in ti, Carlotta eagerly opened her intelligence panel.
[ 1: The chanical Fortress is furious over Chad Castro’s death. Many high-ranking officials are investigating the incident and are determined to uncover the true culprit. However, they currently have no leads. Suspicion is primarily directed toward other alchemy-focused organizations, with the belief that these groups had been eyeing their Alchemical Armor since the beginning.]
Carlotta smiled slightly. It seed she could relax a little about the chanical Fortress, they absolutely weren’t suspecting her.
[ 2: The recent uprising on Island 4 is connected to the beastn Priest Rodrigo. Upon learning that beastn in the Bass Archipelago have beco gladiators and even slaves, Rodrigo beca furious. He led a small group to secretly travel from the Southern Continent, determined to unleash a bloodbath and teach humans a harsh lesson.]
Carlotta was surprised.
The incident on Island 4 was actually linked to so beastn priest? She didn’t know exactly what level this beastn priest was, but he sounded quite formidable. She realized she needed to be more cautious.
’Then again, although I’ve placed bets on Island 4 before, I’ve only gone there once. I shouldn’t be targeted by these beastns. Hmm, I hope the authorities of the Archipelago can handle this beastn rebellion properly.’
Carlotta pondered silently.
In any case, she had no intention of getting involved, this situation felt dangerous.
[ 3: A gathering of notable figures will be held on Island 1 in a few days. Any Transcendent outstanding individuals may attend. It will also function as a trading event, where all kinds of rare and valuable items will appear.]
A gathering of notable figures?
Carlotta inevitably thought of lissa Harris, who had participated in staged fights at Swan Harbor, as well as the vampire Zorn Wilson and others. These were all famous figures, but so were truly accomplished, while others were rely the product of publicity.
Carlotta wasn’t particularly interested in these celebrities. After all, her other identity, Moon, was known as the brightest star, whose achievents could rival hers in brilliance?
Still, should she attend this gathering herself?
She was mainly interested in the trading opportunities and wanted to acquire certain items. Moreover, since such a gathering exists, she suspects that Zorn’s Sky Cornerstone will also be sold there. That makes it even more imperative that she does not miss this event.
But the prerequisite was becoming a notable figure.
’Can I make this current identity famous? Once I have fa, invitations will naturally follow, right?’
Carlotta pondered.
[ 4: The rmaid princess Helen has finalized the locations for her birthday celebration. She will hold birthday banquets both underwater and on the Bass Archipelago. The banquet on the Bass Archipelago will take place at the Sunrise Hotel, 6 Gull Street, Island 1. Besides close acquaintances, she plans to invite several prominent humans, hoping to et more outstanding individuals.]
Carlotta was puzzled, why was there intelligence about this rmaid princess again?
She wasn’t particularly interested in this birthday banquet, but seeing that the rmaid princess wanted to et "outstanding" celebrities made her chuckle. Those celebrities weren’t necessarily outstanding people.
[ 5: Only one elf in the Bass Archipelago has not yet returned to Elven Holand. Her na is Valerie Graham. She is responsible for securing Elven Holand’s interests within the Bass Archipelago. She has no fixed residence, lives instead in harmony with nature, and can appear on any island within the Bass Archipelago, making her location difficult to pinpoint. However, recently, having heard that the rmaid princess she once held in her arms will soon celebrate her birthday, she intends to attend and wish the younger generation well.]
Carlotta’s expression beca complicated.
Finally, there was news of an elf, but this elf’s movents seed utterly unpredictable.
And... it was connected to the rmaid princess again.
Carlotta realized that if she wanted to approach this powerful elven figure, she’d have to participate in the rmaid princess’s birthday celebration. And to participate, she first needed to beco a notable figure.
Today’s intelligence depends on only five entries.
After reading them, Carlotta began pondering how to beco famous.
After so thought, she said to Alia, "Alia, I want to beco a notable figure."
Alia was slightly surprised, "Using your current identity?"
"That’s right."
Carlotta had already prepared her reasoning. "There are things I want to learn, but I need to be at a sufficiently high level to access them. So I have no choice but to beco famous, otherwise, certain matters are simply out of reach."
Upon hearing this, Alia assud Carlotta wanted to investigate further details about the Elven Knight path.
Indeed, such information couldn’t be casually inquired about. Leaking it would easily arouse suspicion. But if she possessed an identity capable of accessing peak tier circles, accomplishing her goals would beco much easier.
With that in mind, Alia said: "Then let’s beco famous. The best way to gain fa is to defeat soone of a higher rank, and do so in public view. Previously, one could voluntarily enter the arena to fight, but now that’s impossible, Island 4 is too chaotic."
The arena was a place individuals could freely choose whether to participate in battles. It truly was an effective thod for gaining fa.
Alia had rely suggested one thod, but Carlotta’s thoughts imdiately opened up.
She mused, "Actually, there’s an even simpler way, directly challenging a celebrity. As long as your tier isn’t higher than theirs and you defeat them, you’ll naturally beco famous."
After all, celebrities were well-known figures. Defeating one publicly will allow the news to spread rapidly.
The only problem is how to get a celebrity to agree to fight. If they refused, could she force them?
"There are actually so celebrities who travel around challenging others and set up battle platforms to accept challenges. We might be able to target those people. But these individuals generally possess real skills," Alia said.
Given Carlotta’s abilities, fighting anyone wouldn’t be an issue.
However, Carlotta clearly couldn’t go all out, otherwise, anyone could tell she was Moon.
In short, techniques with extrely high recognition, like Elven Knight paths, couldn’t be used unless she could silence everyone involved.
Thus, the only magic Carlotta can use is card magic.
Card magic was widely used by far too many people, so it wasn’t particularly noticeable.
"Even using only magic cards, it should be enough to deal with those celebrities."
Carlotta sounded very confident.
Among her cards, she even possessed several high-tier ones.
Alia reminded her, "You shouldn’t use your flight card either. The Elven Wings are still quite distinctive. I think you should only prepare one backup flight card. Most of the ti, you’ll have to rely solely on this kind of flight card."
"That’s true."
Carlotta nodded.
She rummaged through her card pouch and quickly found the relevant materials.
Taking out a monster’s wing along with so other components, she began making a card on the spot.
Card creation incorporates the mage’s own magical energy. The stronger the mage, the stronger the card will beco.
Even among high-tier cards, there were differences in strength, just as there were variations between ordinary cards.
Currently, Carlotta could only produce ordinary cards, but she felt it was sufficient.
Before long, a brand-new card was born in Carlotta’s hands.
"Let’s try it out."
Holding the card, Carlotta infused it with magical energy. Imdiately, a pair of pure white wings appeared behind her.
These wings ca from a monster called the Pure White Flying Bird from Sky Island. Carlotta had slain countless monsters on Sky Island and had many wing options available, but she preferred this pair of white ones.
"Next step is finding soone. Although it’s past midnight, I hope there are still people setting up battle platforms."
Carlotta said enthusiastically.
Alia smiled and walked out of the hotel with Carlotta, beginning to inquire about the whereabouts of celebrities.
After so inquiries, Carlotta and Alia quickly obtained the information they needed.
At this hour, there were still two people who had set up battle platforms and were willing to accept challengers. Coincidentally, both were peak tier Listeners, ideal opponents.
The only issue was that one was on Island 8, the other on Island 12.
"We’ll split up."
Carlotta told Alia.
She didn’t just want her current identity to beco famous, she also wanted Alia to beco famous. Otherwise, there might be places where she could enter but Alia couldn’t, which would be awkward.
Therefore, she decided they should separate and each challenge one opponent.
"No problem."
Alia nodded.
Under circumstances where Carlotta couldn’t use the Elven Knight path, strictly speaking, Alia was slightly stronger.
Thus, Alia headed toward Island 8, while Carlotta went to Island 12.
...
Island 12.
On a square, a battle platform had been erected. On it stood Sienna Reeves, her black-robed figure flickering unpredictably. With a raised hand, indistinct attacks spread out, forcing her opponent into a frantic defense.
Her opponent was a knight-path fighter trying to close in on Sienna, but along the way, he was forced to continuously swing his sword, as if invisible figures were attacking him, leaving him completely disoriented.
Not long after, he let out a scream and was blasted directly off the platform.
"Alright, that’s it for today."
After defeating her opponent, Sienna stretched lazily and announced the day’s end.
All day long, no one of lower rank than her had managed to defeat her.
Her magic, Incantation Magic, wasn’t so simple technique. Attacks unfolded invisibly, how could anyone defend against them? Of course, the main reason was simply that she was too powerful.
Around the platform, many people were discussing it excitedly.
"No wonder she’s from the Stellar Spire."
Stellar Spire, an extrely renowned organization of Transcendents, dedicated solely to magical research.
Sienna Reeves, a mber of Stellar Spire, had already earned a great reputation years ago and possessed imnse fa. Ever since she began setting up battle platforms here to accept challenges of equal or lower rank, she attracted large crowds daily.
Now, having announced the end of today’s battles, Sienna prepared to leave.
"Wait, I’d also like to challenge myself."
A voice ca from the crowd.
Sienna looked over and saw a young girl. She smiled slightly. "Tomorrow. I should head back to sleep. It’s getting late."
Upon hearing this, the girl murmured to herself, "Sienna Reeves refuses to fight . Is it king-avoids-king, or is she dodging my montum?"
Although she seed to be talking loudly to herself, her voice wasn’t quiet, and many people nearby heard it, casting strange glances her way.
Sienna also heard it and instantly laughed in anger.
"You want to provoke into fighting? Unnecessary, little girl. Go back and get so good sleep."
Sienna wouldn’t be goaded into fighting that easily.
She turned to leave, but then her eyes flickered as if she’d seen sothing. She imdiately stopped and turned to look at the girl.
The girl looked quite ordinary, with long blue hair, exactly the type who’d blend into a crowd and go unnoticed.
But in her hand, a card now appeared, covered with intricate patterns and emanating a profound, mysterious aura.
Sienna’s insight was sharp. She spotted it imdiately, "A high-tier card? You actually have a high-tier card?"
She was astonished. High-tier cards weren’t sothing just anyone could possess. At first, she’d thought she’d misread.
The surrounding crowd, hearing Sienna’s exclamation, also looked over in surprise. Their hearts filled with curiosity as they cast probing gazes at the girl.
Carlotta smiled and stepped onto the battle platform. "Can we add one more match? Fight , Miss Sienna Reeves?"
