Chapter 447: Dragon Bloodline Warlock
With a sharp whistle sounding again, the magical steam airship, enveloped by cloud sprites, quickly ascended from the Cloud Water Long Dike until it disappeared into the clouds.
"Jia Na, it's time for us to go back too."
Looking at the magical steam airship that had flown far away, Gavin-Tuer, standing beside Jia Na, tugged at her arm and said softly.
"Okay, let's go."
After retracting her gaze, Jia Na followed Gavin-Tuer into the mechanical carriage.
"The Wizard Apprentice from Black Bone Forest is really heartless. His mentor is leaving, and he doesn't even come to see him off."
The person Gavin-Tuer was talking about was He Sai-Jin, who had joined White Tower with them this year.
"Black Wizard Apprentices always prefer to be solitary and don't pay much attention to superficial things like social niceties."
After the few people finished their meal at the restaurant, the Wizards who had completed their escort mission, as well as several other unselected Apprentices, had no intention of staying in Dordogne any longer. Instead, they departed directly for the Cloud Water Long Dike, preparing to take the magical steam airship at around 1 PM to return to Turin.
Unlike Jia Na and Gavin-Tuer, who chose to see off their "fellow villagers" out of genuine reluctance and gratitude, He Sai-Jin from Black Bone Forest simply gave Gu Shan-Laifu a brief greeting after finishing his meal, then turned and left.
Jia Na didn't think much of this behavior. However, when Gavin-Tuer saw He Sai-Jin's actions, it seemed to touch a "nerve" within her, and she began to mercilessly complain about him.
"That's why Black Wizard Apprentices are the hardest to get along with. Even if you help them, they'll just take it for granted and have no sense of gratitude!"
Watching Gavin-Tuer become more and more agitated, Jia Na, who had been slightly melancholic due to the farewell, became curious.
"Gavin, were you 'hurt' by a certain Black Wizard Apprentice? Why do you get so agitated every time Black Wizards are mentioned?"
"Am I agitated? I don't feel it."
Upon hearing Jia Na's words, Gavin-Tuer's gaze clearly flickered, and her complaining stopped abruptly.
Seeing this, Jia Na did not press further, but continued to look out the window of the mechanical carriage, in the direction the magical steam airship had departed.
III I
"Ladies, we have arrived at your destination. Please alight."
Hearing the Alchemy creature's "electronic" sounding prompt, Jia Na and Gavin-Tuer handed their silver coins to it, then successively stepped down from the mechanical carriage.
"Thank you for your generosity, goodbye."
After collecting their fare, the Alchemy creature skillfully bid them farewell, then drove the carriage away from White Tower.
"Jia Na, do you think these Alchemy creatures in Dordogne are really refined by Alchemists using the souls of intelligent creatures?"
"Some should be, of course, provided that the intelligent creature had signed a 'soul Donation Contract' with the Alchemist during its lifetime. Otherwise, it would be a violation of the Wizard Law."
The Wizard Law of the Wizard World is divided into many types, and the Alchemy Codex clearly stipulates that all souls used by Alchemists in the process of Alchemy experiments must be purchased at places designated by the local Mercenary Guild; otherwise, it is an illegal act.
Of course, the Wizard Law only protects citizens registered in the Wizard Gathering Place, or mortals in the Lower City.
For those who believe in the Dark Sun Church, or creatures from other planes, they are not within the jurisdiction of the Wizard Law. Soon, the two, led by a book-shaped guiding sprite, successfully passed through the Star Ring Barrier and once again entered the "universe" space composed of vast stars.
"Every time I come here, I still feel awestruck."
Looking at the boundless sea of stars around them, and the seemingly endless darkness in the distance, Gavin-Tuer, standing beside Jia Na, couldn't help but exclaim.
"Me too—"
"Identity verified. Permission to enter."
Before Jia Na could finish her reply, the voice of one sounded in her ear.
Immediately following, starlight receded, and the vast universe, which had just been full of stars, quickly disappeared in the next moment. Then, a white towering spire, standing amidst dense forests and lakes, appeared before Jia Na and Gavin-Tuer.
"Is this the true White Tower—"
"Roar—"
Just as Jia Na was still muttering to herself, suddenly, a dragon's roar accompanied by a powerful gust of wind, swept over Jia Na and Gavin-Tuer's heads. The force of the wind was so strong that it almost knocked them over.
"Be careful, newcomers!"
Looking towards the sound, they saw a burly man in black leather armor riding a black adult giant dragon, soaring towards White Tower. At the same time, he did not forget to shout a reminder to Jia Na and the other person.
"It's actually a real giant dragon, and it's even been tamed by a human."
Looking at the black giant dragon that quickly flew past in the sky, Gavin-Tuer, who had never seen a real giant dragon except for Anthony-Black Sparrow's bone dragon, was now also wide-eyed in astonishment, watching the black dragon disappear.
"He should be a Dragon Bloodline Warlock with dragon bloodline; otherwise, the proud dragons would not allow humans to ride on them."
Looking at the black dragon that had disappeared into White Tower, Jia Na, as a newcomer to White Tower, whispered beside Gavin-Tuer.
"one, if we don't have a Flight Permit, can we fly in this area?"
"I'm sorry, without a Flight Permit, you cannot fly anywhere in Dordogne. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" As one answered, several more Wizard Apprentices riding flying brooms flew over Jia Na and the other person's heads.
"Gavin, can you cross this lake by yourself?"
"I can, it just takes a bit of effort—Jia Na, if you have a way, go ahead first, I'll be there in a moment."
"Do you need my help?"
"No, I want to do it myself."
Hearing this, Jia Na nodded, showing respect for her wishes.
"Then I'll go ahead."
With that, Jia Na softly chanted a transformation spell, and in an instant, she transformed into a cyan carp and leaped into the cold lake water.
Seeing this, Gavin-Tuer also took out a crystal ball from her interdimensional space bracelet, and likewise quickly chanted a spell, imbuing the incantation into her feet.
"This way, it should be fine."
Looking at Jia Na, who had already swum far away, Gavin-Tuer, who had cast the Curse of Water Repulsion on herself, then walked quickly across the shimmering lake surface towards White Tower.
