Outside, on the top floor of the machine tower.
It was a hall made entirely out of metal. Mysterious runes were glowing on the walls.
In the center of the hall, there was a light screen suspended in midair. The image on the light screen was a violently tumbling lava lake. From time to time, a few flying fish would jump out of the lake. However, as soon as they came out of the lake, they would be killed by the woman floating in the air and put into her spatial necklace.
Looking at the screen was a man covered in a black robe. Under the bright light, one could see his exposed skin, which was filled with a metallic silver glow.
The man stared at the image on the screen and fell into deep thought from time to time.
When he saw the woman on the screen looking at the abyss, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes.
"She's trying to get her hands on the main offering. How bold."
Suddenly, the door of the hall was pushed open, and a handsome young man walked in with a smile on his face.
"I thought Spade would be the first one to come. I didn't expect it to be you, Muse."
"It's important for the purification garden to level up. As the city lord, it's only natural for me to be concerned about it. " Muse approached the man with a smile. "Hey, isn't this the nest of the Lord of Tentacles?"
Muse's eyes flashed. "Lawson, is someone trying to take advantage of the Lord of Tentacles?"
"So you're interested in the garden's level up as well? I thought you would only be engrossed in research and have no interest in external things, "Lawson said in a cold, mechanical voice with a hint of mockery. Before Muse could retort, Lawson changed the topic. "Yes, someone is trying to get their hands on the Lord of Tentacles. These two apprentices."
Lawson raised a hand and manipulated his mana. The image of the Lord of Tentacles flashed on the screen, revealing two people with different backgrounds. One of them was Sinehowze, who was hovering above the lava lake, while the other was Dira, who was surrounded by countless people in the wasteland.
"He's from Floating Mech City? A core apprentice? " Muse pointed at Dira. He did not pay much attention to the internal affairs of the city, so he did not recognize any of the ten core apprentices. However, he could tell that Dira was an apprentice from Floating Mech City based on his silver uniform.
"He's not from Floating Mech City. It's another woman who looks like Dira. Her name is Carveline. You might not know that name, but I'm sure you'll remember her nickname. "Lawson grinned." The Girl in Divine Outfit. "
"Divine Outfit …" Muse frowned. "You mean the Shepherd God's Outfit?"
Lawson nodded. "Yes. But it's the Shepherd God's Outfit. Carveline's of the Shepherd God's Shepherd Outfit.
Muse pondered for a moment. "Does that mean the Shepherd God really did go to the Origin World?"
"Shepherd's Shepherd's Shepherd's Shepherd's of her outfit to time...
Muse squinted at Carveline on the screen with a hint of covetousness in his eyes. "Shepherd God's coat. I really want to study it. I heard that it contains a trace of Demon God's true intent."
........... "Lawson of the Lord of Tentacles of Tentacles............................
"Never mind. The Shepherd God Family is too mysterious. They were the ones behind the Demon God's Tribulation. Who knows how much they've gained from it?" Muse yawned and sat down. "But you said those two girls are after the Lord of Tentacles? Even with the Shepherd God's Outfit, I don't think she can defeat the Lord of Tentacles. "
"They're not here to kill the Lord of Tentacles. They're here to get its eggs." Lawson switched the screen to the girl who was wrapped in vines. "This woman is not as simple as you think. She's an apprentice gourmet wizard, and the reason why they provoked the Lord of Tentacles was to help her get its eggs."
"A Gourmet Apprentice? It's rare to see a Gourmet Apprentice in the purification garden."
"It's hard to resist the temptation of the law of purification. Plus, this Gourmet Apprentice is not to be underestimated. Maybe she's even stronger than Carveline from the Shepherd God Family. "
Muse didn't comment on Lawson's comment. Instead, he lazily crossed his legs and said, "If they're after the eggs, then let's give them to them. But you have to give me a portion of the food you make. I'd love to see what the eggs taste like."
"The egg of the Lord of Tentacles is one of the offerings. One Lord of Tentacles' egg is worth hundreds of apprentices' lives. " Lawson gave Muse a side glance. He knew his old friend too well. Muse was lazy and did not care about the consequences of his research.
Although Muse was the mayor of the city, Lawson did not want him to be in charge of the purification garden. Only God knew if he would kill all the apprentices inside for the sake of convenience, and then leave everything to others with an innocent look on his face.
"It's up to them whether they can get the eggs or not. If they can get it, then it's theirs. "Lawson ended the topic.
After a moment of silence, the door to the hall was pushed open again. This time, it was not just one person. There were several wizards, including Mithra.
"Lord Mayor." The wizards greeted each other and took their seats. One of them, a woman with short black hair and a scar on her face, walked to Lawson. "How is Jolene, Lord Mayor?"
Lawson looked at her and was about to say something. "Spade, Jolene is your apprentice, isn't she?" Muse interrupted.
Spade nodded. Jolene was one of the top ten core apprentices.
"She's just your apprentice, not your daughter. Why are you so anxious? Don't worry. She won't lose anything even if she dies. We can always find another one. "Muse smiled.
Spade's eyes twitched. She was not surprised by Muse's words. She still looked at Lawson. Clearly, Lawson was the most reliable mayor in Floating Mech City.
"Muse is right. Since we've chosen to enter the purification garden, no one can guarantee that we won't encounter any accidents." Lawson nodded at Spade discreetly.
"I understand." After receiving the message, Spade returned to her seat with satisfaction.
Spade wasn't the only one who came to ask about her apprentice. The other wizards did as well, but most of them were rejected by Muse with sarcasm. However, Lawson still provided the relevant information either openly or covertly.
Muse, who was sitting next to Lawson, curled his lips.
Suddenly, Lawson frowned. A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. He began to channel mana in his palm, and the image on the screen started to change from the lava area to the top.
"What's wrong, Lawson?" Muse asked.
"Someone just touched the barrier." Lawson narrowed his eyes.
"Barrier?" Spade frowned as well. "There are still three hours before the opening of the Sea of Purification. The sky is filled with Demon Fish. Why would someone go to the barrier at this time?"
Even the core apprentices of Floating Mech City didn't dare to go to the barrier at this time, despite knowing that it was the edge of the Sea of Purification. It was too dangerous to do so.
"Don't tell me it's that Son of the Sea?"
Jebra, the Son of the Sea, was born with great advantages in the purification garden. His companion whale could ignore most of the Demon Fish, and his ability to control water made it even easier for him to stay in the Sea of Purification. When someone mentioned Jebra's name, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Why don't we take a look?" Mithra, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up.
Mithra looked a little impatient. He was doing some research in his Apothecary Hut when Muse showed up and asked to see what was going on in the purification garden.
Mithra knew that Muse was going to visit Angor, and he was sure that Muse wanted to see Angor.
Muse smiled. "I brought a Photostone. When Angor joins the research department later, I'll need something to hold him back. I think this is a good opportunity. "
"Hold him back?" Mithra knew Muse was only looking for fun. Muse was the kind of person who liked to play with new toys whenever he got his hands on them.
That was why Muse dragged him here.
The image on the screen changed and stopped at the boundary of the barrier. Tens of thousands of Demonic Fish surrounded a single person. Most of them were at the level of a top-level apprentice.
"Phosphorescent Jellyfish!" Someone pointed at the giant jellyfish in the distance.
This jellyfish was the most eye-catching among all the Demon Fish. It kept releasing phosphorescent flames that turned all living creatures into skeletons.
Just like the Lord of Tentacles, this Phosphorescent Jellyfish was also one of the main offerings for the blood sacrifice. It had the power of a half-step Adept!
If the Phosphorescent Jellyfish and the other tens of thousands of Demon Fish who were mostly at the level of a top-level apprentice … Apart from Lawson and Muse, no one here was confident that they could kill all the Demon Fish in one go.
They could kill them one by one, but it would be troublesome if they had to deal with them all at once.
"Who's brave enough to provoke so many Demon Fish and Phosphorescent Jellyfish?" Everyone slowly looked at the boundary of the barrier.
When they saw the person in the middle, some frowned, some were relieved, some were puzzled, and some laughed.
The person in the middle was clearly in an out-of-body state. A soul was dragging its physical body and standing at the edge of the world's barrier.
"A Soul Manipulator?"
"Look at his face. Think about the gossip we heard."
"Oh, I remember now. He's Sunders' young apprentice. His name is … Angor?" Someone quickly recognized Angor.
"He's the first one to touch the barrier. Well, I guess it's normal. All of Sunders' apprentices are strong. "
Mithra, on the other hand, was surprised by Angor's excellent alchemy skills. Considering Angor's age, Mithra believed that Angor's major was alchemy, which was why he thought Angor's personal strength was weak.
He didn't expect Angor to be so strong, and he even had the guts to challenge the barrier.
While everyone was discussing, Lawson suddenly said, "Don't worry.
"Interesting. I didn't think the kid could use the power of law."
