Arc 1The Beacon and the Bonecrusher

Chen Mo escaped Black Crow Castle’s deadly politics, reached White Stone City, and pursued a path into a mage tower while Eastern Xia sent him supplies through the altar.

  • Chen Mo obtained a mercenary badge, hired Josie and Little John as guides, and reached the Radiance Mage Tower, but several towers rejected him until the spring apprenticeship season.
  • Eastern Xia’s Stargazing team recovered Chen Mo’s transmission, and researchers found that Drug X could produce remarkable results before Li Yunhai used it to wake Vice President Liu.
  • Chen Mo received new supplies and equipment from Eastern Xia, then arranged through local contacts to meet Enchanter Vincent and sought early admission to a magic tower.
  • Moglu’s orc riders ambushed Peiwen’s party, overwhelmed the guards, and demanded that Liushuang surrender as a guest.
  • Peiwen attacked Moglu and was captured, but he used Chen Mo’s thermite grenade to burn the orc commander to death.

  • Chen Mo entered the Har Preparatory Mage Tower under Roy’s identity, trained under Morton, passed psionic enlightenment, and later revealed his real name before leaving with Liushuang’s party.
  • Chen Mo traveled with Liushuang and Peiwen, traded grenades and other knowledge, and helped them evade the Zircon Family’s pursuit as war closed around them.

  • Peiwen led the party across the Crystal River and into Emerald territory, where he fought Kangna and the Fifth Knight’s forces before dying with the captured warriors.
  • Chen Mo used a Big-Headed Eagle and firearms to repel an assault on the village, but the guard died, Linda was mortally wounded, and Locke was badly injured.
  • Chen Mo left with Liushuang and the wounded Little White, using a Skylark patch bomb to distract Gaoshi’s search teams before escaping through the forest on the Flying Shuttle.
