Above the tower, the air is thin, and the wind blows across the empty ground, leaving only a small amount of dust.
Sylutia Standing at the top of the tower, you can overlook the sparse Cloud Sea below, and through the mist-like clouds, you can see the vast and stretching mountains and rivers.
Although she has participated in Silver Bell Festival several times and visited these three towers, this was the first time she reached the top level.
When she walked out of the door, the door turned into illusory light and sand and disappeared, leaving her alone on the top of the tower.
After walking a few steps on the rough stone floor, Sylutia looked around and could only see the existence of two other high towers in the distance, but apart from that, there was nothing else.
Just when she was thinking about whether the crown prince had forgotten to invite her, the spiral steps appeared in front of her.
After stepping on it, she walked up the steps. New steps kept appearing in front of her, and the steps behind her gradually disappeared. She kept going up like this, and after about ten minutes, she finally arrived at a small island high in the sky.
This is a small island that was previously invisible from below, perhaps existing in another layer of space-time folds.
After entering the island, only Hall in the middle is particularly conspicuous, and the rest only have a small amount of stone carving decoration.
Sylutia walked to the Hall, slowly pushed open the heavy door, and then walked in. It was still empty, but there was a huge stone mural in the center of the Hall.
The mural is composed of extremely neat lines, circles, and curves, and is accompanied by formulas, which describe in detail the casting theory of Gold Steam"Aspect Power, as well as the equations and principles for transforming other substances. The entire pattern comes together like a complex tree of life, but what is born here is not a flesh-and-blood creature, but a machine with an aesthetic sense of engineering.
Stopping under this mural, Sylutia stared for a long time. This painting seemed to have a strange Magic Power. Every time I looked at it for a while, I had a deeper understanding of the "Gold Steam" path. It is like a perfect framework that encompasses all the truths in the world, connecting various theoretical systems to form a perfect building of truth.
However, at the end, Sylutia discovered that such a perfect building of truth still had imperfections. This incompleteness also caused the pictures described and outlined in the murals to be unable to circulate, and in the end could only be stuck in one of the links.
The "Gold Steam" path is still not perfect enough.
While the black-haired girl was immersed in understanding the picture of truth depicted in the mural, three huge stone seats gradually appeared in the Hall. Then they looked at the girl's back, waiting for her to come back to her senses.
It seemed that she had noticed something. When Sylutia realized the imperfections in the mural, she also woke up and was no longer immersed in it.
Looking back, Sylutia saw figures sitting on three stone seats. Among them, the person sitting on the "star" stone seat had short black hair and handsome appearance. He looked like he was in his early thirties. He was wearing a monocle and a pocket watch hung on his collar.
The figure sitting on the Moon Stone Seat is an old man with silver-gray hair. In the silver Magic Staff he holds in his hand, Levitation holds a silver hourglass that is constantly turning upside down.
The last figure sitting in the "Sun" Stone Seat looks to be in his forties, with brown chestnut hair and beard, wearing a shirt and a windbreaker, with a gold-bronze Magic Orb Levitation on his side, with complex patterns like sun flames on it, and bursts of heat are constantly spreading.
"Your Majesty—"Sylutia bowed his head in salute, but for the moment he didn't know how to address him specifically.
"Come here, don't be so polite." The old man said and waved to the girl.
"Yes." Sylutia raised his head, walked slowly over, and came to the center of the Hall.
"Since we are here, you must have guessed our identities, but let's give a brief introduction." The old man's voice was easy-going, not as serious and coercive as Sylutia expected, which made her feel a little more relaxed.
"The one sitting in front of you is Named One Abelid who leads Mithril Clock" to prosperity. "The figure sitting under the stone seat of the stars nodded slightly, and there seemed to be clock dial scales in the deep blue eyes, slowly turning.
"The man who looks like an uncle on the left is the Named One Valahunt who created Fire Seed and allowed Steam Engine machines to truly participate in high-level battles." The man sitting under the "Sun" stone seat smiled at the girl. He had two beards and looked like an ordinary craftsman from his neighbor. He had no special majesty or sharpness.
"As for me, I am the old man who reformed the scholar faction in the early years and put it on the path of Mage. You can call me Sodras." "This old man is wearing a simple Mage robe. If the Magic Staff he is holding in his hand is not too gorgeous, he would be like the retired grandfather next door.
Sylutia bowed and nodded one by one, then raised their heads and prepared to introduce themselves.
"Hedra needs no introduction." Abelid suddenly interrupted the girl.
"I asked you to come here this time because I have something to tell you." He raised his arm on the armrest of the stone seat, and then a round of exquisite and gorgeous Astronomical Clock disk appeared in front of Sylutia.
In this Astronomical Clock with a silver-blue shell, in addition to the largest main dial scale, there are three small dials inside. The first small dial is divided into four colors: red, blue, gray and emerald. The pointer is now approaching from the edge of the blue gradient. In the gray part, the second small clock dial is divided into twelve different stars, each star has a different pattern, representing a different Star Palace. The third small clock dial has different moon phases, shining with different light and dark brilliance.
"You should be able to see that the clock dial symbolizing Season of Four Winds has gradually reached the gray scale. When it completely enters, that is the arrival of Season of Sinking Fog." Abelid spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sylutia nodded, curious as to why he said this in particular.
"Originally, we should have summoned you only after you arrived at Fifth Order. After all, it is too early for fourth-level Mage to be exposed to certain things."
"But the situation is different now. Considering that the situation will change a lot after Season of Sinking Fog arrives, we also need to make some plans for your career choice. I hope you can understand." Abelid said in a cold voice.
"I hope that you can choose Radiant Moon" to advance in Fifth Order. This is not only because you are naturally close to Aspect Power", but also because after choosing Radiant Moon"Aspect Power", you can also enter Origin Hourglass" to learn many of their ancient secrets."
"This decision is somewhat unkind, but you have no other choice. As compensation, I will personally guide you on the essence of the Mithril Clock" faction, if you can master it."
Hearing this, Xilu Tia already understood what the other party meant. It seemed that her future path to advancement at the Mage Alliance had been arranged by the three princes, and she was not allowed to choose at will.
Although for ordinary people, it would feel a bit depressing, but for her, this is nothing special. As long as she wants to, it is not difficult to switch Aspect Power levels at will, but it is just inconvenient to show off.
"I understand." The girl nodded without protest or refusal.
Seeing her promise, Abelid nodded slightly and seemed to be secretly relieved, but his expression changed so slightly that it was difficult for others to see except for the other two Named One who were familiar with him.
"In that case, starting from tomorrow, you can come here for class. Amelia will come with you, and I will teach you two at the same time." Hearing that the familiar blue-haired girl would also come, Sylutia felt much better and nodded to express his understanding.
After the explanation, the Named One disappeared on the stone seat, and then the other Named One Valahunt" asked Sylutia a few mechanical questions that were not difficult. Seeing that the girl had clear ideas and comprehensive considerations, the other party seemed quite satisfied.
"The Sun Furnace faction that I inherited has the lowest talent requirements among Three Great Factions. If you are interested, you can also take care of your studies in the future without any worries." This Named One thought for a while, took off the golden ring on his little finger, and handed it to Sylutia.
"With this, you can go to the Terize Academy", they will receive you and let you learn the classics and secrets within the faction."
"Thank you." Although I didn't know that His Majesty could be so generous, Sylutia still took the ring gratefully.
In the end, only Sylutia and the silver-grey-haired old man were left in the Hall.
The other party asked Sylutia to come closer, and then talked in a kind voice.
"It's your first time here, are you a little nervous?"
"Well, yes." Sylutia answered honestly.
"Haha, you just get used to it." The old man comforted the girl a few words, and then slowly explained to her why he made today's decision.
"With your talent, you will be able to put it to good use by learning Radiant Moon. This is one of them, but what is really important is where you will be in the future." The other party spoke slowly.
"The Alliance cannot be supported by one or two people. If you want to successfully control this huge system in the future, it is necessary to have more allies and followers. Only in this way can the power of Stability be guaranteed, and the forces of all parties in the Alliance can operate well under your will." He began to sort out the personnel structure and power framework of the entire Mage Alliance for Xilu Tia.
After hearing these contents, at first Sylutia just wanted to learn from the other professor's thoughts and experiences, but as I listened, I felt something was not right.
Why do you always mention the whole the Alliance, and what about if you take charge in the future——"She is only at level 4 now. Even if she is promoted to Fifth Order, she has just reached the bottom line of qualifications to guard Mage in the region, and is still far away from the upper level of the Alliance.
Not to mention the many experienced masters in front of her, and in addition to the master-level figures, there are even more powerful sages above. How could it be her turn to take charge of the entire the Alliance.
Is this the teaching method of "Named One"? From the beginning, the most difficult situation is sorted out and explained from the highest position, just like building a high-level building.
Sure enough, the sentence just now was just a teaching metaphor and assumption. Sylutia thought of this and his anxious mood relaxed a little.
