The Mage Country, Arlodante, was probably the smallest mega country in the world. Most of its population was gathered in its capital, Arlodante.
Not only was Arlodante home to the world's largest cloud tower (city), it was also a gathering place for mages, researchers, and scholars. Fewer and fewer people were calling it the capital of magic. Modern people called it the capital of knowledge, Arlodante.
Magical engineering, mechanical engineering, civilization knowledge, social history, linguistics, gnome engineering, botany, and so on. You could find true experts in any subject you wanted here.
Every day, countless scholars would travel thousands of kilometers to Arlodante in search of "answers." Some would return satisfied, while others would stay here and spend their entire lives searching for the answers they wanted.
Arlodante was constantly expanding. According to the most recent map, the inner and outer districts were split into forty-eight levels, which took up one-fifth of the entire Mage Country.
Arlodante had many research centers and research societies. Mages were everywhere. In fact, even ordinary residents knew how to cast magic.
If you wanted to teleport to the Mage Country, there would be no other choice than Arlodante. After all, the other districts didn't have any important facilities or organizations.
However, Rorschach arrived at the most remote part of Arlodante.
In a way, this was a good thing. After all, the closer one was to the center of the city, the stricter the spatial monitoring system would be. Teleporting to the center of the city would mean that two masked archmages would be waiting for you, even if you weren't interrupted by a certain system.
As one of the core countries of the Dawn Pact, the Mage Country, Bair, and the wood spirits all had extradition agreements. If someone's identity was exposed, it was almost certain that they would be directly extradited to the Mage Country.
"… So this is the Mage Country?"
It was already night time when Rorschach arrived. But even though this was only a street in a remote part of the city, the countless flashing signs and street lamps made Rorschach feel as if he was dreaming of Earth.
Creating a city that never sleeps wasn't an incredibly difficult goal to achieve. As long as there was an abundant population, an abundant nightlife, and an abundant supply of energy, it would be easy to achieve.
This city's population could probably be ranked in the top ten of the entire world. Not only did it have all sorts of rich nightlife, there were also truly wild species that lived here for long periods of time. As for energy … well, the mages' unused mage towers and mana pools made it so that the people here didn't even know what an energy shortage was. The average price of mana here was ranked last in the entire world for a long time.
The magic-powered electric lamps lit up every corner of the city. Even though it was late at night, the river was still bustling with people. The masked men on the boats with oil lamps were still trying to attract customers.
At this moment, Rorschach had turned into a human youth with no special features with the help of the illusion.
His pale yellow robe was inlaid with silver patterns. The young man smiled innocently, but no hoodlums or ruffians would come looking for him.
The emblem of five drops of crude oil on his chest and the color of his robe indicated that he was a fifth-level Spell Caster who specialized in alchemy. Perhaps Spell Casters who specialized in alchemy were not good at fighting, but a fifth-level Legendary Advanced Wizard could no longer be judged by common sense.
Logically speaking, it would be impossible for a youth of this age to have such power.
However, a Spell Caster's age could never be judged by their physical appearance. Perhaps he was an old monster who was pretending to be young.
About half an hour ago, Rorschach had used a secret channel to send Saul's Lori a letter filled with secret messages, telling her that he was fine and that he only wanted to take a vacation.
And then, Rorschach had a relaxed expression as he really did intend to give himself a vacation … This would be his first real vacation.
Right now, everything was fine at home. He didn't care about Lori and just let things develop naturally. He didn't need to worry about any Gods dying. Roland had originally come here to train and improve himself. Since he discovered that he lacked something, he might as well make up for it.
It would be good for everyone if the current situation disappeared for a while. It would also be a great choice to cultivate here … For some reason, Rorschach felt like he had been scammed again. It would be better to stay here and observe the situation.
"First of all, I need to create an identity for myself."
At this moment, Rorschach was truly grateful to Su Nanna for all the education and lessons she had given him.
In this day and age, it was no longer popular to pretend to be weak. The best way to hide someone well was to hide them in a crowd. An individual would be quite eye-catching, but it would be different for someone with status and a job.
Rorschach was confident that he would be able to disguise himself as an alchemist of the same power level as himself by relying on his mysterious ability to forge things on the spot.
This was the Mage Country. There were so many mages here that it was impossible to count them all. Every day, countless new mages would enter and leave. Countless small and medium-sized mage guilds would be established one day and disappear the next. It was impossible to count the number of mages here.
More importantly, the Mage Country was a parliamentary country. The members of the Mage Country were all members of the major magic organizations. Most of them were part-time political researchers … To put it bluntly, the Mage Country was like a pile of loose sand. Only during times of war would the Inner Circle, which had a relatively fixed number of members, take over control.
The Mage Country's daily management was quite lax. There were only a few special organizations that were busy trying to ban overly dangerous research. Public security was basically left to a few large-scale magic squadrons and magic guilds.
Right now, what Rorschach needed to do was to first find a place to verify his status as a mage. Then, he would use this status to find a suitable magic guild to join.
Next, he would act as a member of this guild. A drop of water in the ocean wouldn't be able to cause any waves.
If this was one of the more prosperous districts in the Cloud City, Rorschach would have been worried that some archmage would see through his disguise. However, this was the outer 442nd Street District, where all the magic guilds and research guilds were probably mediocre. A single level 5 alchemist would be enough to become a trump card that all the guilds would fight over. Rorschach wasn't worried about not being able to find a job here.
