The worker took out a registration form and asked Nausica to fill in her personal information.
Nausica did not fill it out right away. Instead, she looked at Angor and asked, "You don't want one? Why don't you take this chance and try your luck? "
Angor shook his head. "I'm not fully recovered yet. Let's wait a few days."
Nausica whispered into Angor's ear, "You can let Toby fight right after you get on the stage. With Toby's strength, you should be able to advance quickly."
Angor already had the idea of letting Toby fight when he stayed to watch the "King of Beasts" fight. Toby was strong enough to dominate the first few levels. Toby also learned the sequence of gravity, which made up for his lack of strength. Toby's speed was already hard to follow with the naked eye. Now, he was even faster than before, and his close-range combat ability was also greatly improved.
Angor was glad to hear Nausica's suggestion, but he still shook his head firmly. "Not now. You go first. It's better if we fight separately. I don't want to fight you in the arena. "
Nausica did not try to persuade Angor anymore. She shrugged and said, "You're right. It'll be hard if we fight each other. We can avoid that if we fight separately. "
Nausica chuckled. "But if we do fight, I won't go easy on you. Actually, I really want to fight with you. "
Angor grumbled, "I won't either. But I only learned Cleanse. I'm no different from a mortal. I can't beat you."
Nausica smiled without saying anything. She took over the pen and paper and began filling in the form.
The registration form of Sky Tower was simple. It only required a name and an organization.
Of course, Brute Cavern was the organization she belonged to. As for the title … Nausica was going to use her own name, but the worker reminded her in a friendly manner, "Madam, I suggest you use a nickname. Some Occult wizards can use your real name to harm you. As the fairest tower in the southern region, we don't want anyone to use such tricks to win a match. "
Since the worker said so, Nausica did not refuse. She took out the registration form and filled in her new nickname. She didn't think too much about it and casually filled in: Pirate.
After the staff took it, he raised his eyebrows at the name and reminded her, "Once the name is filled in, it cannot be changed. Madam, are you sure you want to use this name?"
She nodded without hesitation.
The staff thought for a bit and tried to persuade her again. "Miss, you might not know this, but your name will stay with you all the way until you reach the Tower of Infinity. Sky Tower was a battle tower under the banner of Floating Mech City. It was famous across the entire southern region. The more famous a wizard was, the more likely he would become a wizard in the future because of Floating Mech City's reputation. For example, the famous wizard of Sleepless City, the Lord of Night, Moodick, was named when he first filled in the registration form. It accompanied him all the way until he became an official Adept. Now, it's even more widely known. Everyone in the southern region knows about it. "
Angor finally understood why all the contestants in the arena had such big names. They were preparing for the "possible future". Although 99% of the names prepared by apprentices might not be useful in the future.
Nausica began to think. If what the staff said was true, she would need to change her name to a better one.
The staff did not urge her. He simply waited with a smile on his face. Of course, they hoped that the contestants' names were as big as possible. If the contestants' names were too weak, they would not be able to promote themselves. Therefore, using a bigger name was actually a win-win situation.
A moment later, Nausica wrote down her final decision: Lord of Blackberries.
This was the name given to her on the wanted posters of various countries when she was a pirate. She had gotten used to it after being called that for so many years.
After the staff received it, he looked at the format of "King of XX" and accepted the registration form with great satisfaction. Although he did not know what "Blackberry" meant.
"Lord of Blackberries, according to the rules, you are now a contestant on the first level. You must fight once every month, or your credit rating in the Sky Tower will decrease. The lower your credit rating, the less contribution points you will get for winning each match." The staff continued, "To guarantee your credit, please come to the Sky Tower to arrange your matches within a month."
"No need. Arrange it now," Nausica said.
"Very well. Please follow me." The worker smiled brightly and led Nausica to the drawing area for her match.
…
Sailum and Angor did not say anything before Nausica chose her title. After she did, they began to whisper to each other about what they would do if they joined the competition.
"My name will be 'The Pride of Versailles'!" Sailum said, "When I become a wizard, my name will spread across the world. By then, Versailles will be proud of me. Maybe Queen Sharon will even meet me in person!"
"The Pride of Versailles … sounds a little childish. I remember Nausica said the Duchy of Versailles has a famous rose garden. How about 'The Rose of Versailles'? "Angor joked.
Sailum gave it a serious thought. "The Rose of Versailles … sounds good. It will show my identity and promote our country's specialties. But isn't it a little too girly to use roses as a name? "
"Oh right, Angor, aren't you going to challenge the tower too? What name will you use?" Sailum asked.
Angor considered for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know. I don't like names that are too ambitious, and I don't like exaggerated ones either … I'll think about it later."
"That's a question I need to think about. I'm looking forward to your name!"
Nausica came back from the lottery area as well.
"Miss Nausica, who's your opponent?" Sailum asked eagerly.
Nausica smiled but did not answer. Instead, she pointed at the transparent screen on one side of the hall. "My battle information will appear on the screen later. Take a look for yourselves."
The crystal screen kept scrolling with the information of the various arenas. Who won, who advanced, how many contribution points each person received ….
Among the scrolling information, a new one popped up: Half an hour later, Sky Tower's Level 1, Ring 7, King of Blackberry VS Monarch of Eternal Freeze!
"Monarch of Eternal Freeze …" Angor quickly pointed out the new information.
"Oh, him." Sailum saw it too and his expression froze. "Miss Nausica is more than strong enough to defeat him. Ahem … I'll pass."
"… Me too," Angor agreed. He was afraid that he would lose his worldview if he did. A strange man who could change Frost into World of Ice and Snow was not someone to be looked at from afar. Who knew if he would change Freeze into Frigid Earth or something like that next time?
Nausica did not mind if they came to watch. "Alright then. Wait for my good news!"
…
Nausica stayed in the Sky Tower to wait for her match. Angor and Sailum did not stay together after leaving the tower. They went their separate ways with different goals in mind.
Sailum went to find some spells suitable for his class, while Angor went to Prome's Alchemy Shop to find Dave.
They found Prome's Alchemy Shop without a hitch. There were still many people waiting in front of the shop. They were all customers who needed Master Prome's help. However, Master Prome still did not show up. Angor saw Dave explaining things to people outside the shop.
After the crowd dispersed, Angor approached Dave.
"Master Prome is not here today. If you need anything, please come next time … Hey, Angor!" Dave already explained things to several groups of people today, so he quickly read out his lines when he heard footsteps behind him. However, when he turned around, he saw it was Angor.
"Why are you here? Oh! I remember now. You advanced, right? " Dave happily welcomed Angor into the shop. "I'll send you the information about the Sky Tower candidates now."
Last time, they agreed that Dave would share the information he collected with Angor. However, Angor was not an apprentice at that time, so he did not have a crystal ball.
Prome's Alchemy Shop did not change much. It was still a mess. Dave finally cleared a clean table and asked Angor to take out his crystal ball and place it on the table. Next, he took out his own crystal ball and transferred the information to Angor's crystal ball using mana.
"Too much information. Too much trouble," Dave said to Angor. "I think it'll take about ten minutes."
"Take your time. I have something I need your help with. "
"What is it?"
"Like I told you last time, I'm going to learn alchemy, and I want to buy some low-level materials to practice," Angor said. "Do you have any? I'll buy them at market price. "
"You're new to alchemy, and you're going to learn it right away? Isn't that a bit too fast? You still need to learn the theory and some basic alchemy spells, "Sailum did not understand.
"I'll learn as I practice. I want more chances to practice while I still have enough merit points," Angor said.
Sailum thought about the balance in Angor's bone card and did not say anything else. He also wanted to use money to get more proficiency points, but that was too extravagant for him. He had to improve his alchemy skills step by step. It took him five years to create his first alchemy creation.
"I have a lot of low-level materials. If you want to practice, you don't need to use tiered materials," Sailum said. He paused and continued, "Oh, I almost forgot. You said you want to learn alchemy. Which direction are you going to take?"
