Of course, Iona's warship was much faster than the White Tower's warship. In less than half an hour, the young ladies felt the warship begin to descend and stop slowly. Then, the cabin door opened, and Iona walked over again.
"Follow me."
Iona still had the same indifferent expression as if she didn't care about anything. However, this time, no one complained to Iona. In the main world, strength was everything. Previously, they didn't know how strong Iona was, so it was fine for them to complain a little. But now, after witnessing Iona's combat power with their own eyes, these young ladies obediently shut their mouths and stopped talking.
Compared to ordinary people and nobles, mages had an unusually high tolerance for eccentricities. It was clear enough that a certain chief transmutation mage was not beaten to death for touching girls' buttocks and peeking at them while they were bathing. In other words, outstanding mages were more or less different from ordinary people.
And now, this group of young ladies were the elites of the White Tower. They had received education in the White Tower since they were young and had seen all kinds of strange things. In terms of dislike for communication, more than half of the mages were mages. Therefore, ordinary people might think that Iona was unreasonable or something, but for the young ladies, it wasn't unacceptable.
However, after leaving the warship and looking at the Tendo Temple in front of them, the young ladies were still stunned.
The floating city itself wasn't something to be surprised about. Several Legendary-mages in the Country of Magic had their own floating cities. Of course, in terms of area, those floating cities and mage towers were definitely not as big as the Tendo Temple. But at least the young ladies had seen them, and some of them had even visited them personally.
However, to them, the Tendo Temple in front of them wasn't as simple as just being "big".
The exotic streets, the lively crowds shuttling back and forth, the huge warship looming in the clouds, the psionic crystals and star buildings floating in the air in the distance, and all kinds of information and images played on the large screen were too much for their eyes to take in.
Of course, strictly speaking, the things displayed by the Tendo Temple weren't beyond the mages' understanding. For example, they didn't understand what this large electronic LCD screen was, but they could at least understand the concept of it being projected here in a certain way. They had no problem understanding the concept itself.
The main point was the extent to which these things were used in real life.
The Country of Magic was the birthplace of the magic civilization and the pioneer of the magic industry. But now, even within the Country of Magic, the daily use of the industry was just the beginning. Things like cars and televisions had already appeared in the Country of Magic, but they weren't widespread yet.
It was similar to the Industrial Revolution, when people could see eight-inch black and white TVs, send telegrams by radio, and drive around in four-wheeled cars.
But what would the future hold? No one knew.
Verne could be said to be a godlike existence in science fiction. Many of the things he envisioned had become reality today, such as submarines, manned moon landings, and spaceships. However, that was only a conception and assumption based on the products of the era in which Verne lived. However, even this Great God had things that he couldn't think of.
For example, he once described the news industry in 2889 in an article. At that time, the most "sci-fi" scenario that Verne could think of was to turn the news industry into a huge telephone service system. Each user only needed to spend a few cents to talk to editors, reporters, and scholars on the phone in a phone booth to obtain knowledge that they were interested in.
Even in Verne's imagination, writers no longer used pens, but directly through the phone to tell their readers the stories they had conceived.
However, Mr. Verne obviously wouldn't have predicted the rise of the information age and the emergence of the Internet, because it was something unimaginable in his era.
Now, many people's lives were more "sci-fi" than the sci-fi of the past.
Now, these young mages of the White Tower came to the Tendo Temple, just like scholars from the 19th century who traveled to the 21st century. Looking at the scene in front of them, they were both excited and shocked. Whether it was the flashing images on the wall, the strange tools that children were using on the street, or the metal warships in the distance and the girls running around on the street, they were dazzled and excited.
After all, they were still young and had once imagined how the Nation of Magic would develop in the future. But now, they finally saw their dreams come true.
Here, was the future!
At this time, the young girls were no longer as nervous and uneasy as before. When they first learned that they were going to the Tendo Temple, they had some doubts. After all, because of Fangzheng's blockade, the Tendo Temple was closed to the outside world, and no outsiders could enter the interior of the Tendo Temple. Therefore, they only knew about the Tendo Temple, Fangzheng, his metal fleet, and a group of very powerful girls.
As for what the Tendo Temple itself was like, no one knew.
And now, they finally saw it with their own eyes!
After that, Iona led everyone away from the port area via teleportation. Then, they boarded an unmanned bus and headed toward the destination.
The population of the Tendo Temple was increasing, and so far, the entire Tendo Temple had nearly a million cursed children living in it. Frankly speaking, this was about half of the entire population of the Tendo Temple. Fortunately, the Dark World was gradually improving, and the number of cursed children migrating to the Tendo Temple was also decreasing.
Otherwise, Fangzheng would have to consider finding a place to throw the small Halo that he got from the Halo World over there to use as a new colony.
And in a city with a population of a million, traffic was naturally a big problem, and Fangzheng also spent a lot of effort to improve it. He placed Spiritual Energy Crystals in every main street to transmit energy and perform Hyperdrive, replacing long-distance transportation tools such as trams. As for other places, he used unmanned buses as a means of transportation. Only then did he solve the transportation problem within the Heavenly Palace.
When the group arrived at their destination, Fangzheng was already waiting there.
"Welcome to the Tendo Temple."
Looking at the girls in front of him, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and made a welcoming gesture.
"Please forgive me for not welcoming you earlier. I have a lot of things to do here … By the way, Iona, you weren't hurt in the previous attack, were you?"
"I'm fine, Captain."
Iona shook her head.
"But the enemy …"
"I know. Let's talk about it later."
Fangzheng interrupted Iona's report. He had already contacted Iona on the way back to the city, and Fangzheng had also investigated the matter through the Dark Annals. But now was obviously not the time to talk about this.
"You're welcome. We're just here to do what we should do, Your Excellency Fangzheng."
Colette stepped forward, narrowed her eyes, and carefully sized up Fangzheng with a smile on her face. Then she opened her mouth and said.
Then, she said, "But … Your Excellency Fangzheng, before that, there's one more thing I need to trouble you with."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Colette's question, Fangzheng was taken aback. He carefully looked at the vampire girl in front of him, thought for a moment, and asked.
Colette's smile grew brighter as she looked at Fangzheng.
"As long as you can meet my requirements, then I agree to transfer these children to the Tendo Temple and teach them magic. But on the other hand, if you can't meet my requirements, then we'll have to go back. "
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Colette's words, the girls behind her suddenly screamed. Mary wanted to say something, but she had no choice but to shut her mouth. The other party was the Chief Necromancer. Even if she had any objections, she couldn't say much.
"What requirements?"
Upon hearing Colette's words, Fangzheng was a little surprised, but he wasn't too surprised. One had to know that back when he was making a deal with the White Tower, Fangzheng had once used "The Informants" to investigate everyone on the list. He had a clear understanding of their life experiences, thoughts, and goals.
Because of this, Fangzheng could decisively cross out those unstable factors. He only wanted to find a few mages to help teach, not to let them cause trouble here. Those who tried to cause trouble here should stay as far away as possible from the Tendo Temple.
As for Colette's situation, Fangzheng naturally knew about it. Although this vampire looked young, she was actually very old. It was just that … What exactly did she want to do? The book did not explain.
Although on the surface, the Chief Necromancer was only leading the team, it was obvious that if she was just leading the team, there was no need to trouble the Chief Necromancer of the White Tower, one of the eight major schools, to personally take action.
And obviously, she had her own purpose in coming to the Tendo Temple.
"It's simple."
Collette's eyes darted around before she looked at Fangzheng.
"I've always been very interested in the mystery of life. I wonder if Mr. Fangzheng has a way to meet my needs?"
"… … …"
Hearing Colette's words, the young girls behind her immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. The mystery of life was a very rare research topic in the White Tower, and necromancers were even more concerned about it. However, due to various reasons, it was very difficult for a regular necromancer to conduct research on it.
It could even be said that the mystery of life was the domain of the gods, and not something ordinary people could come into contact with and obtain.
"The mystery of life …."
Hearing this, Fangzheng frowned and thought for a moment. He reached out his hand, rummaged through his inventory, and took out a book.
"Although I don't know if this meets your requirements, but … at least this should be what you want."
"… What's this?"
After taking the book from Fangzheng, Colette glanced at the pictures and words on the cover and asked curiously.
"Hmm … Elementary School Biology Grade 3 …."
Looking at the short Colette in front of him and the elementary biology textbook in her hand, Fangzheng felt that if she were to carry a school bag on her back, it wouldn't look out of place at all …
