Chapter 537: Chapter 277: Empire Witch
"Due to the extraordinary tis, the Magic Academies in Thousand Tower City have stopped enrollnt, and their Junior Academies have turned into temporary military camps. I’m staying at the Junior Academy in Mistrem."
"That’s my school," Dorothy asked, "Which building are you staying in?"
"We can chat about that later," Li Ang said.
"Oh." The half-elf obediently closed her mouth.
Thousand Tower City gathered the Low Tier Sky Knights and the militia who aspired to defend the city, teaching them how to use the city’s Magic Positioning System, including temporarily activating, maintaining, repairing mass-produced golems, and the use of various Magic Items and Weapons.
"That period was the most fulfilling ti of my life, I rapidly grew stronger, and by the age of twelve, I was already a Tier Six Water Attribute Swordsman."
"What?" Zoe suddenly clenched her fists, her face full of dejection, looking quite stricken.
Dorothy found her reaction amusing and provoked, "How do you feel now?"
The young girl with chestnut hair had her delicate face tightly drawn, biting her lip and clenching her fists, and after Golden Canary chuckled, she gradually fell silent, realizing Zoe was very serious.
"However, Thousand Tower City also perished when I was twelve."
"Again?" Even Farina couldn’t sit still at this point.
Li Ang glanced at the Dragon Witch, recalling the past disputes they’d had when none of them were very strong. When others verbally attacked her, they often called her a "Wild Mage."
Li Ang and Viel had always thought that with her personality, she wouldn’t care about this sort of thing, but unexpectedly, she showed a lot of concern.
As to why she cared, she never ntioned, but a certain inferiority complex of "never being as good as a formal Caster" seed to always entwine her.
When she displayed to outsiders that impression like surging, scorching flas, no one could notice this aspect.
And even when she beca a powerhouse of the Excellence Realm, speaking face to face with the world’s Divine Spirits, this still lay hidden deep within.
Occasionally, one could feel that she longed for Thousand Tower City; perhaps that’s how she imagined herself, or perhaps she rely liked the lives of academy-style Casters.
Hearing that another world’s Thousand Tower City was also destroyed, Farina couldn’t help but display an emotional response.
Even though the Holy City was the strongest city, its strength ca from the concentration of top power under the guild’s coordination. If speaking of the average resident’s strength, it was certainly higher in Thousand Tower City, where Magic deeply perated life, and perhaps the Makena Island Country could also compete.
Seeing everyone waiting for her explanation, ii straightforwardly said, "The destruction of Thousand Tower City happened because everyone was reversed."
"Reversed?" everyone asked in unison.
"Yes," ii said, "For example, Li Ang, you turned into the appearance of a young boy."
"Rejuvenation? Age change?" Li Ang speculated upon hearing this, "It shouldn’t be that simple. The Casters in that city are incredibly strong, ordinary effects couldn’t shake them."
"Turn into... a young boy?"
Farina seed more agitated than hearing that Thousand Tower City could be destroyed, staring intently at Li Ang’s face as if trying to discern sothing.
Li Ang’s eye twitched, ignoring her reaction, and looked at ii, gesturing for her to continue.
"Yes, the so-called reversal doesn’t have a precise definition, but it’s usually a reverse change in a person’s certain traits. The common features are age, gender, etc., and in rarer cases, personality, power attributes, bodily functions, and so on."
ii’s words quieted the crowd as they slowly contemplated.
Reversal ant sothing like this? It didn’t sound hard to understand, but when it occurred in reality, it seed unbelievable.
"Who caused this?"
"It’s unknown; we only know that the city was enveloped by this phenonon in a very short ti. When the entire Thousand Tower City underwent reversal, the original operations instantly collapsed, allowing the Imperial Army to smoothly infiltrate the city."
"That’s a crucial point to focus on," Li Ang frowned, "If we want to prevent such a phenonon, we must thoroughly investigate what secrets lie within Thousand Tower City."
Otto asked, "Are there any areas where this phenonon is more concentrated?"
"Grandpa, are you considering the possible source?"
ii understood Otto’s aning and could give an affirmative answer.
"According to the guild’s temporary combat council analysis, the epicenter of the event was likely near the Grand Library."
"The Grand Library... Vault of Endless Tos?" Li Ang pondered.
"What kind of place is that?" Zoe asked.
"It’s the place where Thousand Tower City concentrated the most knowledge and books. It is also the central point of the relative positions of the three major Magic Academies. In fact, the three schools chose their locations because of it," Dorothy explained.
Li Ang explained that one of Thousand Tower City’s spectacles was the Vault of Endless Tos at the intersection of the three major academies. It was a magnificent architecture, with visually endless corridors intricately crisscrossed in the sky, linked by magic. Those unfamiliar often got lost within it.
In Thousand Tower City, even ordinary citizens were knowledgeable individuals. The lower levels were open to everyone, where you could see various graceful pedestrians, and the exceptional young Casters frequently moved across the corridors and platforms of the middle layers. Walking here would make even soone like Dorothy, who was unlearned, feel imbued by knowledge.
And these towers surrounded by aerial corridors were the "Secret Scripture Towers," holding a vast collection of tos accumulated over the city’s long history, standing as the highest peak of the book mountain.
The Secret Scripture Towers’ builders were unknown to the ordinary residents of Thousand Tower City; they only knew that the towers’ defenses and stabilization magic were of a strength that current Casters simply couldn’t shake. The entire Grand Library was also one of the nodes of Thousand Tower City’s overall magic defense system.
