Chapter 268: Rising to Fame
"The predecessor of the Starry Sky Tower was a wizard tower. It is said that it was left behind by a powerful wizard who died in battle. Because it was too severely damaged to be repaired, only a shell was left. So the All Things Association took over and transformed it into the current Starry Sky Tower."
Tanner introduced while leading Sunan and Liz into the Starry Sky Tower.
The first floor is an extremely wide circular hall, which is paved with white jade, showing luxury.
In the hall, there are two-meter-high green stone tablets standing at equal intervals. At a glance, they are densely packed like a stone forest.
The surface of the stone tablet displays dense text, recording detailed mission information.
Sunan glanced around and found that the mission content was basically to summon wizards to explore a certain plane together, hire people to conquer the plane, purchase certain types of intelligence, etc.
After a look, Sunan quickly lost interest.
Wandering wizards who have not joined the wizard forces may favor such places, where they can earn resources and obtain intelligence, but for Sunan, the role of this mission hall is minimal.
The resources that he can't find are basically impossible to find here.
And truly valuable intelligence is impossible to appear in such a place.
Retracting their sight, the three of them entered the teleportation array in the corner of the hall and went straight to the seventh floor where the arena duel was held.
This is also a circular hall, but the area is smaller.
The number of stone tablets is relatively much less, distributed at the edge of the hall, forming a circle around the hall.
Many wizards are standing in front of the stone tablets, pointing at them and whispering to each other.
Sunan walked to one of the stone tablets and looked at the words on it.
[Ring No. 13]
[Ring Master: Trevor Evans]
[Affiliation: Steel Construct]
[Level: Level 2 Crystalized Wizard]
[Bet: Shadow Steel Golem x10]
[Challenge Fee: 5000 Lower Level Magic Stones]
Noticing Sunan's gaze, Tanner explained attentively: "The rules of the ring duel here are that only wizards of the same level as the ring master can initiate a challenge, that is, only level 2 wizards can challenge level 2 wizards, and level 3 wizards can challenge level 3 wizards. Therefore, those who dare to initiate a ring duel are basically crystalized wizards, and their combat effectiveness is also among the best in the same level."
Lize glanced at the stone tablet and showed a look of reminiscence: "I remember that Steel Construct seems to be a third-rate wizard force. I heard that they are very good at refining puppets?"
"Ms. Liz is right."
Tanner smiled and agreed. After learning that Liz is a level 2 wizard, he also showed more respect for Liz's demeanor and behavior.
"The quality of the steel puppets is well-known. With the same materials, the puppets made are several times stronger than those made by other wizards. They are very popular among wizards. These 10 shadow steel golems are worth at least 70,000 lower-level magic stones."
As long as you pay 5,000 lower-level magic stones, you can get a bet worth 70,000 lower-level magic stones if you win the challenge.
Thirteen times the profit, any wizard who is confident in his own strength will be tempted.
Just as Su Nan and the other two were chatting, a wizard walked to the No. 13 stone tablet, looked at it for a few times, and reached out to press the stone tablet. A light flashed and the man disappeared on the spot.
"The duel is in another dimension. No matter how fierce the fight is, there is no need to worry about damaging the Star Tower itself."
As Tanner was talking, he suddenly heard a voice from behind.
"Tanner."
Looking back, a wizard in a robe came over. He was wearing a strange bird mask that covered half of his face, and there were a few red or emerald feathers on his head. His dress was a bit strange.
"Bryce, long time no see."
Tanner was obviously very familiar with the visitor and greeted him with a smile.
"It's been almost three hundred years since we last met. Where have you been for so long? I haven't seen you back."
Tanner smiled bitterly: "It's a long story. I encountered something."
Seeing that Tanner didn't intend to talk more about this, Bryce didn't ask more questions and turned to look at Sunan and Liz.
"Who are these two?"
Tanner said quickly: "Let me introduce them. This is Lord Sunan and Lord Liz."
Bryce's face straightened. The person who could be honored as Lord by Tanner must be at least a second-level wizard.
Tanner then introduced Sunan and the others: "This is Bryce from the Ten Thousand Headed Bird."
Ten Thousand Headed Bird?
Sunan quickly recalled, vaguely remembering that this seemed to be a wizard force, and it seemed to be very good at breeding exotic beasts. It was said that it controlled hundreds of large and medium-sized exotic beast breeding bases (ecological parks).
"Sunan Yanest, from the Star Alliance." Sunan nodded slightly.
"Lize Russell." Liz then introduced herself, "Also from the Star Alliance."
"Star Alliance!" Bryce's eyes lit up, "Could it be the Star Alliance that just repelled the attack of the Dark Throne and joined the Wisdom Code Front?"
Without waiting for Sunan and Liz to respond, Tanner smiled and said, "Besides that Star Alliance, who else is there? Lord Sunan is the controller of the Star Alliance."
Bryce stood in awe.
Matters involving the Dark Throne are already very eye-catching in the wizard circle.
Not to mention that it is related to the Starlight Continent that has been blocked for two thousand years.
The Dark Throne sent out a wizard candidate with a whole plane's army and five wizard towers to attack, but the whole army was annihilated. Not only did the wizard candidate die, but even the plane he controlled fell into the hands of the Star Alliance.
In the past two thousand years, has the Dark Throne ever suffered such a big loss?
What’s more, the one who caused all this was a local wizard force that developed in the blockade plane!
When this matter spread, many people’s first reaction was disbelief, and they were shocked when they confirmed the authenticity of the news.
The Star Alliance also became famous in the wizard world.
At least among the middle and lower-level wizards, there are very few who don’t know the name of the Star Alliance.
“It’s an honor to meet you!”
Bryce’s demeanor was a little more respectful, and then he showed a hint of eagerness.
“I heard that the Star Alliance’s new Wolf Tide Plane has a biological nest that can hatch two nest creatures, the Black Wolf and the Dusk Wolf. I am very interested in these two nest creatures. I wonder if Lord Sunan can sell a few to me? I can give me more magic stones!”
Sunan was slightly startled, but when he thought that the man in front of him was born from the Wantou Bird who liked to study exotic beasts, he was relieved.
"The number of Dusk Wolves is very small, and the Star Alliance has no plans to sell them for the time being, but Black Wolves can be purchased from the Star Alliance if Wantou Bird wants them."
The Dusk Wolves in the Wolf Tide Plane are basically dead, and there is no one left at present, so naturally there is no way to sell them.
Even if there are, Sunan does not plan to sell them in the short term, after all, the Dusk Valley only hatches one Dusk Wolf a year.
Unless the number of Dusk Wolves reaches the upper limit, Sunan plans to digest them internally.
On the contrary, the hatching speed of Black Wolves is extremely fast, and the upper limit can be reached in at most ten years. It doesn't matter if you sell tens of thousands of them. It is more profitable to exchange them for some magic stones. After all, this thing has almost no cost.
After listening to Sunan's words, Bryce was a little disappointed, but he soon cheered up. It was not bad to buy Black Wolves.
The key is to listen to Sunan's words, and he can also purchase them on a large scale. I think there should be many people in the organization who will be interested in nest creatures, and maybe he can make a little profit from the price difference.
Thinking of this, Bryce suddenly became excited and thanked him repeatedly.
After asking Bryce to contact Liz later, Sunan asked Tanner, "Where is the arena where the design of the Supreme Golem is at stake?"
"It's Arena No. 24, this way." Tanner walked forward.
The group then came to Arena No. 24.
[Race No. 24]
[Host: Makaro Campbell]
[Affiliation: Black Sota]
[Level: Level 3 Crystalized Wizard]
[Bet: Supreme Golem Design]
[Challenge Fee: 50,000 Lower-level Magic Stones]
"A wizard from Black Sota."
Liz frowned slightly, with a hint of disgust in her eyes.
Black Sota is one of the wizard forces in the evil camp, also known as the black wizard force.
Its overall strength is inferior to that of the Dark Throne, and it is a second-rate wizard force, but its notoriety is not much worse than that of the Dark Throne.
"Makaro is very powerful. He once fought with the King Robe Wizard of the Dark Throne, and the result was inconclusive." Tanner whispered.
After hearing this, Liz's brows furrowed even more, and she looked at Sunan with some worry.
Bryce also understood at this time that Sunan came for the design of the Supreme Golem and planned to participate in the ring duel.
After looking at the words on the stone tablet, he was speechless.
The King Robe Wizard of the Dark Throne is the best among the third-level wizards. Pick one of them and fight against three ordinary third-level crystal wizards alone!
And being able to tie with the King Robe Wizard shows how powerful Makaro is.
Even Sunan may not be Makaro's opponent.
Sunan did not care about the changes in other people's expressions, and stretched out his hand to press on the stone tablet.
The mechanical and monotonous voice of the tower spirit soon came to his ears.
[Detected the first login target, please register identity information. 】
【Friendly reminder, please do not give false identity information. Once the information is verified to be false, you will be punished, including but not limited to expulsion from the Starry Sky Tower, lifetime ban from entering the Starry Sky Tower, permanent expulsion from the City of All Things, etc. 】
The registration process is very simple, and Sunan completed it quickly.
His identity information then appeared on the stone tablet.
【Challenger: Sunan Yanest】
【Affiliation: Star Alliance】
【Level: Level 3 Gasification Wizard】
【Challenge Rank: 3】
Seeing the information on the stone tablet, Tanner and Bryce both widened their eyes and looked surprised.
In their opinion, Sunan must be a level 3 crystalization wizard to be able to kill You Xi, but they didn't expect that Sunan was only a level 3 gasification wizard!
Level 3 gasification against level 3 crystalization, can it actually kill back?
The two looked at each other, and for a moment they doubted whether You Xi was just a false name.
But on second thought, no matter how false a name he was, You Xi was also a genuine level 3 crystalization wizard. It can only be said that Sunan's power is obviously stronger than they imagined.
No wonder Sunan dared to challenge Makaro after knowing that he had power comparable to that of a royal robe wizard.
Ignoring the two people's thoughts, Sunan looked at the challenge ranking list on the stone tablet.
The wizards who initiated the challenge will be displayed on the stone tablet in chronological order.
There were two people in front of Sunan.
One was a third-level crystal wizard named Aman Reed, who was born in the Sea King Whale.
Sunan remembered that the Sea King Whale was also a second-rate wizard force, known for its water-related talents. Its magic weapons, puppets, and raised beasts were also mostly related to the water system. It can be said that it was a wizard force specializing in the water system.
The other challenger was called Grus Hughes, also a third-level crystal wizard, born in the Pale Mask.
The Pale Mask, like the Black Sole Tower, is also one of the dark wizard forces. Its reputation is better than that of the Black Sole Tower, but it is also the same.
There is no distinction between camps in the Starry Sky Tower's arena duels. Wizards from the same camp will not hesitate to draw their swords for the sake of interests.
Although outside the Starry Sky Tower, the dark wizard forces have also been scheming and fighting each other.
Buzz!
The stone tablet suddenly lit up, and then a wizard appeared out of thin air in front of the stone tablet.
He was pale, with blood at the corners of his mouth, and his face was extremely ugly. Obviously, he lost the duel.
There are no perfect protection measures in the arena duel. Injuries and serious injuries are commonplace. The only protection measure is to be able to leave the duel space at any time.
Whether it is the challenger or the champion, as long as they see that the situation is not good, they can leave the battle instantly.
Even so, there are still many examples of deaths in duels every year.
And the wizard who killed the opponent in the duel in the ring will not be pursued by the Wanwuhui, nor will anyone be allowed to retaliate against the murderer in Wanwu City.
Of course, Wanwuhui will not care so much after leaving Wanwu City.
The defeated wizard looked at Su Nan and others, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and walked away quickly with a gloomy face.
The wizard who just finished the duel can choose to rest, but the name of the first in the sequence soon lit up, indicating that the champion gave up resting and started the next challenge directly, obviously confident in his own strength.
A wizard wearing a sea blue robe and a strange animal head pattern on his cheek came over. He first glanced at the words on the stone tablet. After seeing Su Nan's information, he couldn't help showing a strange look, looking at Su Nan for a few times, and then reaching out to press on the stone tablet.
[Please pay the challenge fee of 50,000 lower-level magic stones or middle-to-high-level magic stones of equal value. Other items are not accepted for deduction. ]
The voice of the tower spirit sounded, and a crack appeared in the center of the stone tablet.
The wizard took out five hundred high-level magic stones and threw them in. With a flash of light, the whole person disappeared on the spot.
The second challenge began.
"My lord, after this challenge, the champion should rest. I think we should go back first and come back the next day."
Tanner made a suggestion.
No matter how powerful the champion is, he can only challenge two times at most. Then he must rest and recover. Otherwise, if he fights in a bad state, it is easy to capsize in the ditch.
Sunan followed the advice and left with Liz.
When he came the next day, he happened to see a wizard wearing a white mask standing in front of the No. 24 stone tablet, paying the fee.
Sensing someone approaching, he turned around, his eyes flashed under the mask, and a dull voice came out.
"Sunan Yanest?" (End of this chapter)
