Under the azure sky, a pure white city shimmered in the sunlight.
It was built entirely of marble, looking extremely majestic. Even the core of the building was shrouded in the radiance of magic.
This was Saint Yévore, a city of spellcasters!
It was the core of the Popan Freedom Alliance, and the only city in the western world that did not have any gods or churches overseeing it. At the same time, it was the holy land of all spellcasters!
Not only were there more than three god-ranked Liches and Great Spellcasters overseeing it at all times, there were also more than twenty high-ranked Wizard Towers scattered around.
Basically, every Wizard Tower represented one or more Legendary spellcasters!
This was a place where witchcraft and magic were renewed, a paradise for spellcasters. One could find spellcasting materials that were rare in any continent, and some even came from other planes. There were also the latest arcane journals that introduced the most cutting-edge and cutting-edge research on spells.
Furthermore, it was perhaps the safest place in the entire western continent.
The 'council' formed by Great Spellcasters held the highest authority in the city. Saint Yévore was open to all spellcasters, and at the same time, prohibited all forms of private fights.
"This is Saint Yévore, the legendary paradise for spellcasters?!"
At this moment, outside the city walls, Wu Ming was leading a large horse, wearing a grey cloak as he observed the entire city.
In his eyes, a strong spiritual light rippled in the sky above Saint Yévore. This meant that the city was protected by a huge magic formation, and even if a true god were to descend, it would have the power to resist it. It also isolated all prying and prophecy.
After all, it was compulsory for spellcasters to know how to block their opponents' prophecies and divination.
"A city completely ruled by spellcasters, and also a famous cradle for spellcasters. Just the evidence alone shows that it has nurtured more than fifty Legends … Interesting!"
Wu Ming smiled and led his horse towards the gates of Saint Yévore.
Half a month had passed since the ambush on the Black Forest Castle. After reading all the secret manuals and books that Diax had given him, Wu Ming had quietly left the Ouroboros Clan and started his own journey in the continent.
"Since it's the Wizard City, the legendary holy land of Spell Casters, it must have its own set of knowledge on how to nurture Wizards. It'll be very useful for the Seer Continent."
Wu Ming's visit this time was not just for an inspection.
Information about the Inner Plane, as well as more mysteries of this world, he needed to find the answers in the city's largest library and private collections.
"Of course, I should first find a guide for myself!"
The street leading to Saint Yévore was extremely clean. Even though it was still outside the city, it was paved with luxurious slabs of stone. It was quite flat, and there was not a single gap in the joints. It was obvious that some kind of magic had been used.
Outside the city, Wu Ming could immediately see many people dressed as mages, rushing to the same destination as him. The expressions on their faces were either envy, anticipation, reverence, or resentment and resentment. There were all kinds of expressions on their faces.
"Sir, do you need a guide?"
Outside the city gates, a large number of peddlers and idlers gathered, forming a small market.
Many locals fought to introduce themselves to the foreign Spellcasters. "Saint Yévore has very strict rules, and outsiders will make mistakes if they are not careful. It also hides many secret buildings, and those who are not locals will not be able to find them! Hire us! You only need to pay us a gem a day! You can get everything about Saint Yévore! "
Being a Spellcaster was a profession that burned money.
In fact, once one reached the level of a high-ranked spellcaster, ordinary materials and precious metals in the mortal world would rarely catch their attention.
What they used the most was barter, or large gold notes certified by the Church of Wealth, as well as all kinds of gorgeous gems and diamonds!
Considering that he was indeed not familiar with Saint Yévore, and that he could not use his divine sense on a large scale in the city, there was no guarantee that he would not be sensed by a Wizard Tower or a god-level Lich, and cause trouble. So, Wu Ming felt that he still needed a guide.
Even the people outside were vaguely divided into ranks, and their eloquence and eloquence left the newcomers in a daze.
"What's your name?"
Wu Ming's gaze crossed the circle and looked at the last row, at a corner that was almost squeezed out.
"Ma … Marsha!"
The other party was a timid young girl, looking less than twenty years old, with long fiery red hair that fell like a waterfall, and a few freckles on her face.
Of course, what caught Wu Ming's attention was her clothes.
The girl was dressed in a pure white robe and had a strange bronze badge pinned to her chest. It was decorated with many complicated patterns, and the lone star in the middle looked especially shabby.
"A wizard apprentice?"
In the Western Continent, badges were generally used to mark profession levels, and the Spellcaster profession was even more so. Even though Wu Ming had only crammed a few days of general knowledge, he would definitely not get it wrong.
One star meant that this young girl was only a bottom-level wizard apprentice, and could only cast a few magic tricks. She was not much better than an ordinary person.
The practice of any spellcaster profession was a money-squandering den. If one did not have a rich family, it would be difficult to persist.
Obviously, Martha, who was in front of Wu Ming, didn't look like the kind of person with a big background.
"Yes … Sir!"
Marsha could be seen to be very nervous, and her tone was somewhat restrained. "This is very normal in Saint Yévard. As a wizard apprentice, even if I'm only at the lowest level, I have more authority than ordinary citizens, and can bring you to more places …"
"Hmm … Smart!"
Wu Ming nodded with satisfaction. To be able to become a mage, even if he was just an apprentice, he was definitely not a fool.
At the very least, this acolyte called Marsha had found a good way to make money for herself.
"You!"
Wu Ming waved his hand, and a sparkling ruby fell into Marsha's arms, causing the surrounding people to look at him with envy.
"Thank you, Sir! I'll definitely make you satisfied! "
Marsha looked at the gemstone in her hand that was the size of a pigeon's egg, and could not help but take a deep breath as she spoke solemnly.
"Hmm … I'm also a Spellcaster from the East. You can call me Mister Wu!"
Wu Ming smiled. "I need to look up some information about foreign dimensions … Also, I'm preparing to train a batch of wizards in my hometown, and I need a full set of teaching materials and casting materials … Where can I get these?"
Marsha muttered to herself, and then raised her head. "If it's just to look up information about foreign dimensions, the Grand Wizard Library can satisfy your request. It's open to all Spellcasters, as long as they pay the price … But if the knowledge you need is too obscure, then you can only think of a way to get it from the private libraries of high-ranked Spellcasters. Perhaps issuing a bounty mission is a good idea … But to move those high-ranked wizards, I'm afraid you can only use rare materials or knowledge to exchange for them …"
Marsha's tone became even more humble.
This was because the person in front of her was most likely a powerful Spellcaster, one who had already reached a level where he could come into contact with foreign dimensions!
"Then bring me to the Wizard Library first!"
Wu Ming immediately made his decision.
"Alright, please follow me!"
Marsha pulled herself together, and first brought Wu Ming to deposit the horses, and then walked through the triumphal arch made of pure white marble.
After passing through this place, they had completely entered the territory of Saint Yévore. On both sides of the parterre, unknown flowers were in full bloom, bringing with them a leisurely fragrance.
"The whole of Saint Yévore is under the joint supervision of the Magus Tower. This city forbids the use of destructive spells in public, and it is also prohibited to conduct magic research outside of standard laboratories … Please remember, do not break the city's laws, or the council will definitely send you to the anti-magic prison …"
Marsha reminded him solemnly, and at the same time, her body quivered in fear.
The so-called anti-magic prison completely suppressed all magic, and was said to be a hell where even high-ranked Spellcasters would become commoners.
To any Spellcaster, being imprisoned there was definitely a nightmare.
"I understand …"
Wu Ming answered casually, evidently interested in Marsha. "Who is your mentor?"
"Master Avrika, an expert in alchemy and modification. She's published works in arcane journals …"
At the mention of her mentor, Marsha's face glowed with excitement, and she spoke with some pride.
Through her explanation, Wu Ming had a general understanding of the entire operating system of Saint Yévore.
This was a city completely ruled by Spellcasters, and it was known for its freedom and openness. It recruited students from all over the western continent, and even accepted students from the Great Chang Empire in the east.
Any apprentice, as long as they were proven to have a clean background and talent as a wizard, could enter the school here and receive a unified spellcaster training course.
Although the price was extremely high, many great nobles in the west still liked to send their children here to study.
In the process, once they showed some talent, it was possible for their mentor to take a fancy to them and take them in as a more intimate personal apprentice.
If studying in Saint Yévore could at most guarantee one to become a Spellcaster, then this kind of personal apprentice was even more precious. After graduating, they would at least be a middle-ranked Spellcaster.
If one was lucky and had a good character, and was taken in as a disciple by a Legend, then they would not have to worry about being bullied in the continent.
Marsha was very lucky, but also very unlucky.
Although she had been taken in by a master, alchemy was also famous for burning money in magic cultivation, causing her to almost become a pauper. She had to do everything she could to work hard.
