Chapter 441: White Tower Star Ring
“Vivian, you really should review the modern history content of "Ancient Magic History." This should be considered very basic knowledge.” “Cough, cough, I remember now—I was just a little dazed earlier.”
Hearing Jia Na’s slightly “reproachful” telepathic message, Vivian coughed awkwardly, then turned her head and pretended to look out the window nonchalantly. The city of Dordogne covered a large area. Without traffic, the mechanical carriages, which had a speed comparable to cars in her previous Life, still took about fifty minutes to reach the White Tower’s vicinity.
“Is this the White Tower? It’s magnificent!”
It was You Li-She Lan, with her sweet appearance, who spoke.
In fact, it wasn’t just her; when all the Wizard Apprentices in the carriage saw the White Tower standing tall in the distance through the window, their faces were filled with shock.
Pure white, tall, mysterious.
Besides the nearly two-hundred-meter-tall main tower, the colossal Star Ring circling the White Tower in a ring shape was what truly astonished everyone.
“The shape of this Star Ring is quite similar to the ‘Saturn’s rings’ in the universe of my previous Life—”
As the mechanical carriage drew closer to the White Tower, Jia Na, who could now clearly see the “Star Ring,” couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.
However, unlike the “Saturn’s rings” of her previous Life, which were composed of water ice, dust, and rock particles, the “Star Ring” encircling the White Tower was truly made up of countless stars from the vast universe.
Of course, according to Jia Na’s deduction, the stars within the “Star Ring” should only be illusory projections of the universe, not actual stars. “Esteemed Sage, please tell me, are the stars around the White Tower real or fake?”
While Jia Na was still pondering, He Sai-Jin, who was sitting next to Gu Shan-Laifu, suddenly asked.
“They are all real.”
Real!?
Hearing Gu Shan-Laifu’s words, Jia Na’s eyes widened slightly.
“Those are the 【Fallen Stars】 entities around the Primary Material World, compressed billions of times—so, if you want to keep your Life, do not easily approach the 【White Tower Star Ring】, otherwise, you will only get lost among the 【Fallen Stars】.”
【Fallen Stars】?
Listening to the new term 【Fallen Stars】 from Gu Shan-Laifu, which Jia Na had never seen in her textbooks before, her renewed thirst for knowledge made her eager to investigate further. “We’ve arrived. Let’s get off.”
As the mechanical carriage stopped near the White Tower, the group disembarked.
“Welcome to the White Tower. I am 【One Zero Zero Nine】, your guiding spirit.”
As soon as they got off the carriage, a strange, book-shaped creature flew in front of them and began to introduce itself.
Isn’t this thing an Alchemy creature?
Looking at the strange appearance of 【One Zero Zero Nine】, Vivian, standing nearby, couldn’t help but telepathically ask Jia Na, slightly puzzled.
“It should be a spirit realm creature. I can feel the aura of Life from its body.”
Hearing Jia Na’s words, Vivian also nodded.
“This time, I will be responsible for leading everyone into the barrier. Please follow me.”
Saying this, 【One Zero Zero Nine】 flapped its wings, which were made of book covers, and flew towards the White Tower.
Seeing this, Jia Na and Vivian exchanged glances and followed behind Anthony-Black Sparrow and the other Wizards, walking with 【One Zero Zero Nine】 towards the White Tower’s entrance barrier.
“So the 【Star Ring】 around the White Tower is also a protective barrier—”
Feeling the surrounding magic fluctuations, Jia Na and the others, led by 【One Zero Zero Nine】, successfully passed through the barrier.
Immediately after, as they stepped through the 【Star Ring Barrier】, the scene before their eyes underwent a drastic change.
“Is this the universe?”
Space inverted, stars shifted. One moment it was daytime, but the next, the sky suddenly darkened, and the nearly two-hundred-meter-tall White Tower before Jia Na’s eyes also vanished, replaced by an endless expanse of vast stars.
“Ladies and gentlemen, ahead is the 【Book World】 of the 【Lord of Wisdom】. Besides the participants in this trial, others please stop here.”
Hearing 【One Zero Zero Nine】’s words, Jia Na’s first reaction was to look at Anthony-Black Sparrow in front.
“You go. I will wait for you here.”
Upon hearing this, Jia Na, Vivian, Gavin-Tuer, and Solo-Flame, the four Wizard Apprentices representing White Coral Academy, nodded in succession. They then walked with the three Wizard Apprentices from Black Bone Forest and Mist Tower, following 【One Zero Zero Nine】 deeper into the “universe.”
“Whoosh—”
They had only taken a few steps forward when suddenly, a gigantic book, three meters tall, appeared before them.
Immediately after, the pages turned, and before they could react, 【One Zero Zero Nine】 had already flown into a certain page of the book and disappeared.
“What a huge book!”
Looking at the enormous book that had suddenly appeared before them, Gavin-Tuer, who hadn’t fully processed it, couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Whoosh—”
The pages turned again. Seeing 【One Zero Zero Nine】 already entered the 【Book World】, Leiman-Tolan didn’t hesitate at all and jumped straight in.
Next, He Sai-Jin and You Li-She Lan, two Black Wizard Apprentices unwilling to be left behind, also successively jumped into the book.
“Let’s go in too.”
Unlike the aggressive style of Black Wizard Apprentices who always strove to be first in everything, the White Wizard Apprentices led by Jia Na were relatively more cautious.
Seeing that the book showed no unusual signs, Jia Na and the others also successively entered the 【Book World】.
“Whoosh—”
The pages rapidly turned until everyone had entered the 【Book World】. The book then closed again and transformed into a brilliant starlight, disappearing into the vast universe.
“Then let’s go too. After all, with ‘that one’s’ style, they won’t be coming out anytime soon.”
After speaking, Gu Shan-Laifu lightly tapped his bone staff, and large patches of white bone quickly grew from beneath his feet.
“Oh, and Anthony, you still owe us a meal—”
“Whoosh—”
The sound of pages turning continuously came from Jia Na’s ears. The moment she jumped into the 【Book World】, Jia Na felt her body transform into black characters, like tadpoles.
The scene before her eyes also changed from color to black and white, and then, it turned back into a grainy color, as if outlined with crayons. “Respected Miss Jia Na-Luo Lan, welcome to the 【Book World】 created by the 【Lord of Wisdom】. I am your guiding messenger 【Number One】.”
【Number One】?
Wasn’t it 【One Zero Zero Nine】?
Hearing the unfamiliar voice in her ear, Jia Na’s slightly dazed consciousness gradually returned to clarity.
