Every officially recognized organization would have at least one or two landmarks to decorate its facade. For example, the Warrior's Association's Summit of Valor and Honor; the Alchemist's Association's Titan Core; the Door of Conundrum's Infinite Library; the Church's Temple of Oracle; and so on. However, the Sorcerer's Association's Babel Tower and City Amongst the Clouds were, without a doubt, the most magnificent of all.
The Skyreach Tower and the City Amongst the Clouds had taken about 3000 years to build to their current scale. Even now, they were still constantly being maintained and updated. They contained the crystallization of countless people's wisdom. Whether it was the tower in front of them or the city at the top, they relied on the magic of magic to surpass the limits of physics on Earth. They were the pinnacle of architecture in this world.
Baiyi, a self-proclaimed sorcerer, could not help but feel a surge of pride when he saw the tower with his own eyes. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why the Sorcerer's Association had summoned him to this place? Anyone who stood in front of a building like this would have to maintain a basic level of respect and awe. Therefore, when it came to arguing, they would definitely be more reserved.
However, the biggest flaw in the tower was probably the words written on the emblem, which were written with runes and formations. Baiyi could not help but feel a little awkward when he heard the words. It was as if he was about to explode with shame, so he could not help but interview the person in question in the Void. "How does it feel to have your own words hung on the wall by your descendants?"
"Thank you!" The Archmage snapped. "At least they're more sensible than you, you little bastard."
As the first sorcerer in history to reach the level of a Demigod, even if he had used Ancient Rohlserlian magic, which had long since become obsolete, he had still left his mark in history. Hence, future generations of sorcerers would still write the words of the Sage-Emperor of the Magi on their own emblems.
Unfortunately, not many people were willing to learn the obscure Ancient Rohlserlian magic anymore.
Baiyi and the others followed Fatty into the Babel Tower and boarded a floating disc powered by mana. The group flew up to the higher levels of the Babel Tower. Along the way, they could see many similar floating discs going up and down, and they could also see the busy sorcerers and the flashing lights of their magic. It almost made them feel like they were in a sci-fi setting.
"The lower levels are mainly used for daily affairs and the trading market, so it's more lively. The middle levels are where the magic workshops and academies are, so it's much quieter. The higher levels are where the important people work," Fatty explained. As the floating disc rose higher and higher, Fatty also played the role of a dutiful tour guide, introducing it to everyone.
When the floating disc finally came to a stop, they could see the white clouds through the window on the wall. "We're already so high up?" Mia asked curiously.
"There are some special spatial runes set up inside the tower, and they form a simple spatial tunnel. When the floating disc passes through these tunnels, it's like we're going through a special portal. However, the layout is very intricate, so if you don't look closely, you won't notice it. You'll think we're just flying up. " Baiyi patted the little girl's head and briefly explained the layout of the place to her and the rest of the students.
The Babel Tower was filled with all kinds of intricate arrangements. From a macroscopic perspective, it looked like a huge, intricate formation. Every line, every node, was performing its function.
Fatty, who had been interrupted by Baiyi, laughed. "I was just about to explain to this lovely lady. I didn't expect you to know so much about this place, Mr. Hope. Alright, let's go. The Vice President is waiting for us. "
Fatty led the group into an antique study. A man, who looked to be in his thirties, was waiting for them with a kind smile on his face. Baiyi was slightly taken aback when he sensed the power emanating from his body. 'Holy-level!'
"Welcome to the Babel Tower," the man said loudly. "My name is Grant. Nice to meet you, Master Hope."
"Nice to meet you, Master Grant," Baiyi replied politely. Baiyi replied politely. The Vice President, who looked very young, was the strongest person Baiyi had ever met since he arrived in this world. Baiyi could not even guess the Vice President's true age.
"Please, have a seat." Grant gestured for everyone to take a seat. With a snap of his fingers, teacups, tea sets, and pastries flew out of the cupboard, as if they had wings. They automatically served tea to everyone. This was all a spell.
"Interesting," Baiyi said, nodding. This was the first time he had seen a spell like this. It was not complicated, but it was designed to be interesting. The girls gasped in surprise.
"It's a little trick I invented. It's called Magical Maid," Grant replied jokingly.
"I don't think anyone would want to compete with you for the patent," Baiyi said in a half-joking, half-serious manner.
"You sure are funny, Master Hope," the Vice President said casually. It was hard to tell if he was being sarcastic or not. He lowered his head and picked up a document from the table. "Alright, let's get down to business. The Organization has assigned me to handle this matter because I raised my hand during the voting. You won't blame me for that, will you?"
"I just hope that we can achieve a mutually beneficial outcome," Baiyi replied politely.
"We've already investigated this matter. This channeling spell was applied by a member of the Association and a team of researchers. They said that it was an invitation from a Count named Holden, but they couldn't agree on a price, so the collaboration was terminated. So, they applied for a patent for this spell." The Vice President flipped through the document in his hand. "However, they did not mention that there was already a similar spell on the market, and it was not included in our patent database. So, we approved their application, along with a ban. It seems that there was an oversight in this part of the process that led to this misunderstanding."
"You might think this to be a misunderstanding, but I don't think so. According to Count Holden, your people only started to copy my formation after they found out about its effects," Baiyi said, handing the Vice President the parchment that he had folded into a paper airplane earlier. "That's right," Baiyi said, handing the parchment to the Vice President.
The Vice President studied the parchment for a while, and his brows furrowed. "The seal on this … This is … This is … Even though I know a thing or two about formations, I still can't make heads or tails of it. All I can tell is that if the seal is forcefully broken, the formation will be destroyed. Alright, judging from the traces of mana loss, it has been around for quite some time." He put down the parchment and looked up. "We can accept your application. We will hold a hearing to discuss this matter in public. However, the hearing will require the approval of the next joint conference. You'll have to wait a little longer. "
"Don't worry, it won't be long. You are now a symbol of the Church, and a hero who has been praised by His Majesty the Emperor. We will deal with your application as soon as possible. I will be the one to propose it at the next meeting. "
"So, this injunction …" Baiyi asked.
"Due to the patent dispute, the injunction is temporarily invalid until a final decision is reached," the Vice President said, still maintaining his polite tone.
For the time being, Baiyi was satisfied with the way things had turned out. To be more precise, he was quite satisfied. Things had gone smoothly. After the little interlude at the beginning, things had gone much smoother than he had imagined. Be it in terms of results or efficiency, the other party had given him plenty of face and was very cooperative. Baiyi's original plan to wreak havoc had, of course, fallen through.
Now that the conversation was over, Baiyi had no reason to disturb the Vice President, who was busy every day. Baiyi prepared to take his students on a tour around the city before heading home. Just as Baiyi was about to rise to his feet, the Vice President said, "I heard that Master Hope has applied for a Power Level Certification in Arfin City?"
"Yes, Vice President Joe helped me a lot, so the certification was approved in no time. Otherwise, my application would not have reached you," Baiyi replied.
"You must be joking. Your power is obviously higher than Master-level. Even I can't fathom it. How could we not approve your application? Speaking of which, would you like to go through the next step of the Power Level certification? I can arrange it for you and your students, "the Vice President said in a friendly tone.
According to the Sorcerers Association's rules, the certification of Master-level and above could only be done in the Babel Tower, which was a lengthy and troublesome process. There were also many sorcerers waiting in line to be certified, including newbie sorcerers who wanted to join in on the fun.
After all, not everyone was uninterested in this kind of official certification. A certification from the Sorcerer's Association was very useful in many cases, just like a diploma back on Earth. Therefore, the Vice Guild Leader's words were full of goodwill.
However, Baiyi did not care about his rank. If it were not for business, he would not even bother getting certified as a Master-level sorcerer. Therefore, he politely declined the Vice President's offer and said that he would just show his students around the city.
"Well, that's a shame," the Vice President said, a little disappointed.
