Chapter 387: Element Soul Wizard Gathering Place
"Giddy up!"
After leaving the train platform, Billy increased the speed of the carriage, but even after traveling for a long time, the carriage had only just entered the outskirts of Element Soul.
"The train station here is quite far from the city center."
Gavin-Tuer, who had been observing the scenery outside through the window, couldn't help but murmur softly as she looked at the lush trees and well-arranged suburban villas around her.
The Element Soul Wizard Gathering Place is surrounded by mountains, geographically a basin, and the magical steam train station is built relatively outside the basin, still a considerable distance from the actual city center.
"My Lords, our carriage will soon pass by the Soul of Elements Wizard Academy."
Hearing Billy's words, Jia Na, who was sitting by the carriage window, couldn't help but pull aside the sunshade in front of the glass window and look out.
"Completely blocked by the barrier."
Under Billy's introduction, Jia Na and the others did indeed see the Soul of Elements Wizard Academy built not far from the main road.
However, due to the barrier, apart from a thick layer of dense fog and the outlines of trees hidden within the fog, the few people could see nothing else.
"Every April and October, the Soul of Elements Wizard Academy will set up an open day, and at that time, everyone can visit the academy."
"It seems we've missed the last open day."
After hearing Billy's words, Jia Na couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
After all, the Soul of Elements Wizard Academy is a transcendent institution far exceeding the Turin Wizard Academy in both scale and overall strength, and Jia Na was particularly curious about the academy's infrastructure and the books in its library.
"Whoosh, whoosh—"
Just as Jia Na was about to pull up the sunshade, she saw two Wizard Apprentices in dark red wizard robes rushing out of the dense fog on broom-shaped flying wizard tools, flying towards the city center.
"Flying brooms are indeed the favorite flying wizard tools of White Wizards."
Looking at the two Wizard Apprentices who had disappeared from sight, Jia Na, who had never ridden a flying broom, couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty.
After all, in Turin, very few Wizard Apprentices would choose broom-shaped wizard tools when selecting flying wizard tools. Besides not conforming to Turin's general aesthetic, the high price and not-so-comfortable riding experience made flying brooms a very niche magical item in Turin.
Of course, there was also a most important reason: Turin City had strict no-fly zones, so flying wizard tools had never sold well in the Turin Wizard Gathering Place.
"Mr. Billy, is there a no-fly zone in Element Soul City?"
"You can just call me Billy. There is no no-fly zone in Element Soul City, but it requires that the driver of a flying device must have a flight license; otherwise, it is considered illegal flying."
Flight license...
Hearing this term, which was rarely heard in the Turin Wizard Gathering Place, Jia Na couldn't help but once again lament that compared to a "metropolis" like Element Soul, Turin was completely a "fourth-tier small city."
"Clip-clop, clip-clop—"
As the carriage sped along, after about forty minutes, Jia Na and her group finally arrived in the city of Element Soul. "My Lords, we have arrived in the city of Element Soul. I will first take you to the hotel to check in, and then take you to taste the local specialty foods."
"You've worked hard, Billy."
"It's no hardship, it's Billy's supreme honor to serve Lady Meg!"
Hearing Lilith-Meg's words, which carried a hint of concern, the goblin Billy immediately turned his head and replied, somewhat flattered.
As a goblin prone to racial discrimination, to be treated politely by a Formal Wizard like Lilith-Meg was indeed a supreme honor for Billy.
"The architectural style of Element Soul is quite unique."
As the carriage entered the city center, the unique architectural style made Gavin-Tuer, who was visiting the Element Soul Wizard Gathering Place for the first time, unable to help but exclaim.
Unlike Turin City's minimalist style, which favors black, white, and dark tones, the architectural style within Element Soul City is extremely ornate, and the color palette is dominated by high-saturation colors. Even the glass inlaid in the windows is like colorful glazed tiles, making one dizzy.
In addition, the clothing colors of Element Soul residents are also extremely vibrant; even men in formal wear are not uniformly black like in Turin, but mostly deep blue, dark red, and white.
Furthermore, the matching of cuffs and ties is also relatively flashy, like colorful sparrows, full of vigorous and vibrant Life.
"We've arrived, my Lords."
Just as Jia Na's gaze was still lingering on the scenery on both sides of the Element Soul street, the goblin Billy, who had been driving for a long time, finally stopped the carriage in front of a hotel with a rose wreath hanging on its door.
"Crystal Rose Hotel—looks pretty good."
Looking at the grand exterior decoration of the hotel, Gavin-Tuer, who had never really stayed in a luxurious hotel, couldn't help but praise it.
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Gawen. This hotel is actually run by Billy."
"You run it?"
A goblin?
Hearing Billy's answer, Gavin-Tuer, who habitually looked down on the goblin race, couldn't help but widen her eyes, looking at him with surprise.
"Yes—but the reason Billy was able to successfully run this hotel is also because he often received care from Lady Meg—"
"Alright, stop endlessly flattering me. These are all your own achievements; you don't need to attribute them to me."
After softly interrupting the goblin Billy's endless "rainbow farts," Lilith-Meg stepped down from the carriage.
Seeing this, Jia Na also put on her wide wizard robe and followed Lilith-Meg out of the carriage with Gavin-Tuer.
"Sorry, Lady Meg, Billy misspoke—please watch your step."
Under the careful arrangements of the goblin Billy, the group quickly completed their check-in. Afterward, Jia Na, guided by a maid, arrived at her room on the third floor.
"While there's still some time, I'll take a bath first."
Although Jia Na had already cast a 【Cleaning Spell】 on herself when she got off the train, the nearly twenty-hour journey and the continuous thunderstorms at night still left Jia Na with an indescribable sense of fatigue.
Fortunately, Billy's service was indeed very attentive; the room he booked for Jia Na was one of the highest-spec rooms in the Crystal Rose Hotel.
Besides the comfortable bed, the alchemy bathtub in the washroom also brought a satisfied smile to Jia Na's tired face.—.
