What was the Void Stone?
Most Wizards might not even get to see the Void Stone's true appearance in their entire lives!
When the relevant books introduced the Void Stone, they simply described it as the core material for building a long-distance Teleportation Formation.
This description was not wrong, but it was not accurate.
Even without the Void Stone, it was possible to build a long-distance Teleportation Formation, but it would require a Wizard Tower to be the space-time beacon for the teleportation, and every teleportation would consume a large amount of Magical Crystals.
This meant a large amount of money and resources, as well as a long construction period.
If the construction of a long-distance Teleportation Formation was used in peacetime, this speed and expenditure could be considered acceptable. But if it was used in a Dimensional War where every second mattered, this speed was too slow!
In a bloody and cruel Dimensional War, the earlier the Teleportation Formation was built, the more troops that could be sent over, the greater the possibility of changing the outcome of the Dimensional War. If the speed of the teleportation was too slow, the stronghold built by the Wizards in the early stages would be swallowed up by the local aborigines with their advantage in numbers, and all the previous investments would be for naught.
What was more terrifying was that the Wizards used by the family for battles would be lost in other dimensions.
This was a huge blow that no Wizard family could bear!
Take the Salubo Family for example. They had clearly won a Dimensional War, but because they had lost too many Wizards in the Dimensional War, they were close to the lowest limit of the family's ability to maintain control over the various dimensions. That was why the family's power in the main plane was in turmoil.
To put it bluntly, if not for the timely return of the main forces of the family like Corgan and Grim, the Salubo Family might have lost 30% of their power in the Wizard Continent before they could regain their footing. Even though these losses could be regained as the family thrived in the future, it was inevitable that they would be fatigued in the short term.
At the start of the Dimensional War, if the Salubo Family had the Void Stone, they would not have needed to build the War Wizard Tower with so many people. They could find a desolate mountain and use the Void Stone to build a long-distance Teleportation Formation. That way, a large number of people and resources could be continuously transported into other dimensions.
By the time the natives of the other dimensions realized that something was wrong and gathered a large army to rush over, they would no longer be facing a few Magi. Instead, they would be facing an organized army of Wizard Beasts and a Wizard Battle Squad that was ready for battle.
Moreover, the long-distance teleportation arrays built with Void Stones could automatically absorb the spatial power in the void, thereby reducing the need for Mana Crystals. This way, the Sorcerer Families could save a lot of money.
However, it was precisely because of the excellent quality of the Void Stone that it had become a strategic resource that sorcerer families with ambitions to conquer planes had to hoard. The appearance of any Void Stone would cause many sorcerer families to fight for it openly and covertly, so it rarely appeared in the circulation of various regions.
Basically, as soon as they showed themselves, they would be snatched away by large families or organizations. Ordinary small families and Sorcerers would not even have the chance to see them.
Therefore, when the silver-robed Enforcer Randolph blurted out the words' Void Stone ', the Byron family wizards gathered in the encampment couldn't help but tremble. They all looked at the fist-sized grey stone in Grim's hand.
This is the Void Stone? It's too inconspicuous!
While everyone was still in shock, Grim's right hand that was holding the grey stone shook slightly. Strange silver lines appeared on the trajectory of the grey stone, and the space around the grey stone began to slightly distort.
All the Sorcerers were shocked!
Without the help of any spell or spell, it could easily distort the void with its own characteristics. As expected of the famous Void Stone!
After the initial shock, all the Sorcerers' eyes were filled with greed and pity.
Good stuff, it really is good stuff! Too bad it was shown in front of everyone! If … If only I knew about this, wouldn't it be …
One female and two male silver-robed enforcers looked at each other and immediately made a decision.
Wizard Randolph stepped up and yelled, "Mr. Grim, since you've conducted an extremely dangerous space experiment in the Sky City without permission, I, representing the Space Committee, have decided to seal up your space experiment equipment for now. You can go to the Space Committee in 3 days to appeal, and the Union Parliament will make a fair decision! Now, you can hand over your experiment equipment … "
"Wait a minute …"
A voice suddenly interrupted Randolph's speech. Everyone looked towards the source of the voice. It was the red-robed Magus Nunnally.
"Mr. Randolph, you have conducted dangerous experiments in Sky City without permission, and you need to be punished. However, if I remember correctly, as long as this experiment does not endanger the safety of Sky City and its members, you can be punished by paying a fine. Since Mr. Grim is an important guest of our family, the Byron Family is willing to pay for his fine! "
"You …" Randolph was so angry that his eyes widened.
As a fair enforcer of Sky City, of course, he knew that Ms. Nunnally's rules were valid. If it was in the past, he would naturally be willing to do a favor for the sake of a Tier 2 Sorcerer and make the matter small.
But … But this involved a Void Stone!
Looking at its size, it had far exceeded the standard amount needed to build an inter-plane teleportation circle. If he let something like this pass in front of him, he would probably be blamed by all the Union Parliament members when he returned.
"Ms. Nunnally, what you said is the normal way to deal with this. What he's doing is extremely dangerous space experiments, so we can't use this method to replace it. " Wizard Randolph explained in a serious tone. His voice was deep and full of power, showing his determination.
Unfortunately, faced with a Void Stone that could bring great benefits to her family, Wizard Nunnally was obviously not willing to give it up easily.
Of course, it was unwise to offend these silver-robed enforcers for no reason in Sky City, but if the price was a Void Stone, then it was not a bad idea. As long as the family behaved a little better in Sky City in the future, these guys who only followed the rules and laws would not be able to take away the Byron Family's rights.
Things were very clear in front of them.
Once this Void Stone fell into their hands, no one would believe such a ridiculous thing even if they repeatedly said that they could get it back by appealing to the Union Parliament.
These guys with their rigid minds were not very good at fighting, but their ability to flip through the laws and use the "Sky Code" word by word was top-notch. Who knew what kind of laws they would find in that thick 3 meters tall "Sky Code" to swallow this Void Stone.
Of course, forcefully taking it away would not happen. Those Union Parliament members would definitely redeem this Void Stone with a very attractive price. However, what kind of price could compare to a Secondary Plane that could be easily obtained?
Seriously speaking, almost every old sorcerer family in the Sorcerer Continent would have a waymark that had yet to be conquered in their hands. The main reason why they had not conquered them yet was that the cost of resources and manpower to open up a Plane War was too high.
Every established Magus family needed a period of time to accumulate resources. Once their reserves reached the minimum required for a planar war, the family's Magi would also have new blood. That was the best time to consider launching a planar expedition.
The only reason why they did not dare to eat delicious food was because they were afraid of choking to death!
However, if they had a Void Stone, they could sneak in and build a Teleportation Formation. Before the natives of the plane could react, a large number of family Wizards and organized Wizard Guards would be able to enter the plane.
With the terrifying methods of the Wizards, would the Secondary Plane still have a chance to resist?
He only needed to build a Teleportation Formation and a complete War Wizard Tower. The difference in difficulty would determine the outcome of a Dimensional War!
Therefore, in a situation where the silver-robed enforcer didn't have a hold on the family, it was necessary for Wizard Nunnally to fight for the Void Stone.
This treasure was too important to her family. She had no choice but to fight for it!
As the law enforcers of the Sky City, even though Randolph and the others were usually domineering, they could not forcefully take it away. Seeing that even the Sky Guards could not make Wizard Nunnally yield, Randolph had no choice but to announce that he would bring Grim to the Union Parliament.
It looked like the Union Parliament members would have to make a fair judgment on this matter!
The Union Parliament was the highest authority in the Sky City. It had 97 Level 3 members. Most of them were high-level Arcane Wizards trained by the Silver Alliance themselves. However, they also hired some well-known Level 3 Wizards who were not from the Silver Alliance.
The Union Parliament Hall was the most important magic building in the entire Central Circle.
The Silver Alliance ruled over a large area. All the human settlements in the southwest of the Wizard Continent were under its protection. There were a total of 15 regions and countries. The Silver Alliance had to send members to manage each region.
To facilitate communication and trade, the Silver Alliance had stationed members in the scattered Forest of Towers, the Northern Witches, the Wizard Association, and other large regions. Hence, even though 97 Tier 3 Councilors sounded like a lot, it was clearly not enough to make ends meet.
