Chapter 440: The Law of Knowledge and Wisdom
After disembarking, Vivian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration for Cloud Water Long Dike, feeling as if she was stepping on cotton. Similarly, when Jia Na saw that the bridge-shaped floating structure beneath them was indeed made of clouds and steam, a glint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
“This is the aura of Law, but it’s not quite like it.” At this moment, fueled by curiosity, Jia Na had unconsciously begun to use her Mental Perception witchcraft to explore Cloud Water Long Dike, a structure that could truly be described as magnificent.
“Is Anthony the only one who hasn’t come down yet?”
The speaker was the First-Level Wizard known as White Bone Sage, Gu Shan-Laifu, and standing beside him were the two Third-level Wizard Apprentices from Black Bone Forest who had been chosen to participate in the White Tower Trial.
To Gu Shan-Laifu's left was He Sai-Jin, who possessed a B-grade Diamond Talent and was also the only other person in Turin Wizard Gathering Place, besides Jia Na, who had mastered a Law Fragment.
The Law Fragment he had mastered was a Subordinate Law that could change his body's density: the Law Fragment of Density Manipulation.
Unlike the typical cold and ruthless Black Wizard demeanor of other apprentices from Black Bone Forest, He Sai-Jin appeared to be a frail, delicate, and bookish “nerd.”
His overly pale skin and the round glasses on his nose made it impossible to associate him with a Black Wizard.
Standing to Gu Shan-Laifu's right was Jia Na's “old acquaintance,” Leiman-Tolan, a Third-level Wizard Apprentice with an A-grade Lightning Affinity Talent.
The reason Leiman-Tolan and Jia Na were “old acquaintances” was due to their intense “clash” during the Three-School Joint Examination.
At that time, Leiman-Tolan, who held the title of “Number One” among Second-level Apprentices, was virtually unrivaled in the Swamp Secret Realm, relying on his overbearing and brutal lightning-based witchcraft and his peak Second-level Apprentice strength.
However, even such a “ruthless individual” was utterly defeated by Jia Na's dazzling “max-level” witchcraft and the siege of her contracted creatures.
Therefore, ever since disembarking from the airship, Leiman-Tolan’s fierce, beardless, and eyebrowless face, hidden beneath a deep purple Wizard’s hood and covered in lightning patterns, had been fixed in Jia Na’s direction, never turning away.
Besides Black Bone Forest, Mist Tower's participants for this White Tower Trial were the Third-level Wizard Apprentice You Li-She Lan, led by Elder Black Crow. She was a Third-level Wizard Apprentice with an A-grade Wizard Talent called Snake Language.
Jia Na also had some impression of You Li-She Lan, who had a sweet appearance and long, dark green hair like seaweed.
It was also during last year's Three-School Joint Examination that after the assessment ended, Jia Na remembered that besides Leiman-Tolan, who was defeated by her and came in second, this You Li-She Lan was the third-place finisher in that Three-School Joint Examination.
However, Jia Na had not seen this person in the final “team battle.”
In other words, You Li-She Lan managed to secure third place solely by hunting Swamp Magic Frogs—which, to some extent, was quite impressive.
“Let’s go.”
As Anthony-Black Sparrow was the last to disembark, the people of Turin, who had been waiting for a while, all headed towards the Cloud Top Cable Car.
“I apologize, this cable car is already full. Please wait a moment.”
Just as they reached the cable car entrance, a staff member standing nearby apologetically stopped them and closed the cable car door.
“Anthony, you’ll have to treat everyone to a good meal later.”
Looking at the cable car that had already descended the mountain, Gu Shan-Laifu, leaning on his bone staff, retreated to the cable car waiting area and then said to Anthony-Black Sparrow with a teasing look.
“No problem.”
Anthony-Black Sparrow, knowing that his slow disembarkation had caused them to miss the first cable car, calmly agreed to Gu Shan-Laifu's request to “treat them.”
“Vivian, does Dordogne’s no-fly zone also restrict Formal Wizards?”
Seeing the three Formal Wizards actually remain in place, obediently waiting for the next cable car, Jia Na, visiting Dordogne for the first time, couldn't help but ask Vivian using sound transmission witchcraft.
“I remember it didn’t restrict them before, just like Turin—but now, I’m not sure.”
Formal Wizards, as a group of people who held privileges everywhere, viewed the “no-fly zone,” which only applied to ordinary people, as mere empty words.
Especially Black Wizards like White Bone Sage, who never played by the rules, would usually use teleportation witchcraft to leave on the spot.
They would never obey the request of an ordinary staff member and obediently wait in place for the next train.
Therefore, when this actually happened to White Bone Sage, and even to the other two Formal Wizards, Jia Na still found it quite unbelievable.
“The second cable car has arrived. You may board now.”
In just a few minutes, the second Cloud Top Cable Car arrived. Seeing this, they entered the cable car at the staff's reminder.
“The last time I rode a cable car was when I went to Turans Snow Mountain for fun.”
Hearing Vivian's words, Jia Na also nodded.
Cable cars, which were quite common in her previous life, only appeared in the Wizard World in treacherous high mountains or in places where Alchemy civilization was relatively developed.
The last time Jia Na rode a cable car was when she went to Turans Wizard Gathering Place for an opera performance.
During that trip, she also obtained seeds of the highly cold-resistant Turance Snow Lotus.
The cable car was fast, and in no time, they all arrived at the ground from Cloud Water Long Dike, then immediately took a mechanical carriage controlled by an Alchemy creature, heading directly towards White Tower.
“I didn’t expect that in just a few short years, Dordogne would develop to such an extent under ‘that person’s’ management—”
As the mechanical carriage sped along, White Bone Sage Gu Shan-Laifu's eyes flashed with a hint of nostalgia as he observed the bustling street scenes around them.
“Jia Na, do you know who the ‘that person’ White Bone Sage is talking about?”
Jia Na, who was also observing the streetscape, thought for a moment when she heard Vivian's sound transmission, then replied with her own sound transmission.
“It should be the master of White Tower, the Third-level Wizard who controls the Law of Knowledge and Wisdom, Victor-Wanzhi.”
“Victor-Wanzhi?”
Hearing Jia Na's words, Vivian, whose Ancient Magic History course score had only just reached the passing line, began to diligently search her memory for this name—
