The scattered pumice rocks weave through the white clouds.

The vibrant green vines, like ropes, climb along the pumice, tightly connecting the garden together.

Strange plants sway gently among the vines.

In mid-air, the transparent bubbles revealed colorful ripples under the sunlight, creating a dazzling spectacle.

On the soft clouds, several chubby little pigs were taking a nap, the bubbles on their noses rising and falling with each breath.

Aurelion stood on the floating rock beneath her feet, gazing expressionlessly at the familiar surroundings, waiting quietly.

Her gaze lingered on the soft, smooth sleeping face of a little piglet.

I remember the first time I came here, the teacher specifically warned me not to touch the bubbles floating in the air.

Otherwise, they might be swept away by a sudden surge of magical energy, and it's unknown where they will be teleported.

But now...

"Hey, what's this?"

Erica, standing beside her, showed great surprise at the hanging garden, her wide eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

From the moment she stepped into this place, her gaze never truly lingered on any one spot.

As she was looking around, Erica suddenly stopped.

She watched intently as a transparent bubble floated past her, and curiously reached out to touch it.

Snap!

The moment the bubble burst, the magic in the garden suddenly became chaotic, forming a vortex that quickly pulled Erica into it.

Whoosh!

Drawn by the turbulent magical currents, her body instantly transformed into a distorted phantom and vanished.

See, this is what happens when you're too impulsive.

But in the next second, an invisible gust of wind swiftly swept across the sky.

It came swirling in from afar, carrying pure white clouds, and landed on the floating rocks of the magic garden.

The invisible wind was quickly tinged with color, and Erica's figure quietly emerged from it.

However, in the distance, there was a soft, fluffy cloud that looked like it had shrunk and was now burying its face in its body.

Don't worry, it will recover over time.

However, Erica, who was in a state of excitement, clearly did not notice this.

Her face was beaming with excitement from the thrill she had just experienced, and her pupils sparkled with joy.

"So...so interesting!"

Aurelion was not surprised at all.

She was able to forcibly break through these magical bubbles that could teleport people at will when she became a fourth-tier mage.

They are not truly dangerous, but they may pose a danger to low-level mages or ordinary people.

More precisely, the chaotic consequences were unbearable.

Of course, even low-level mages cannot come to the mage capital.

Aurelion's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of helplessness appearing in her bright pupils, as she asked:

"I have important business to attend to in the capital of the Dharma Masters."

"And what brings you here?"

Erica ignored Aurelion's tone and, while admiring the surrounding scenery, replied:

"I've never had the chance to come to the Mage Council, so it's nice to take a look around."

"This isn't your home."

Upon hearing this, Aurelion's face immediately darkened, but she did not refute it.

She had disliked Erica for a long time.

Even though she was now forced to become an ally on the same side, her opinion of Erica did not improve.

Strictly speaking, Erica is roughly the same age as her, although Erica is two years older.

However, their personalities are completely opposite.

One is mature and steady, the other is lively and curious, always full of the urge to try new things.

Simply put, they like to court death.

So Aurelion simply retorted with a retort:

"The city of mages is filled with chaotic magical currents. Be careful not to get caught up in them."

At this moment, Erica was kneeling on a cloud with a blissful expression, playing with a smiling sunflower that was swaying from side to side.

As she played, she said absentmindedly:

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Upon hearing this, Aurelion ignored Erica.

Anyway, she insisted on coming along.

The two waited like that.

Not long after, a bird with shimmering, colorful plumage and flapping wings flew across the sky toward the garden.

The next second, the transparent natural bird's body shape changed rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into an old man with a wooden cane in hand and a flowing beard, exuding an aura of wisdom.

Erica's eyes widened in surprise when she saw Rachel appear out of nowhere.

"Dean...Dean?"

That's right, Rachel Azure, the Dean of the Imperial Royal Magic Academy.

Erica had many interactions with the dean during her school years.

At this moment, Rachel merely glanced at Erica and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Erica realized something was wrong, and somewhat embarrassedly scratched her cheek with her finger, saying apologetically:

“I’m sorry, Dean, I forgot that you are also a member of the Mage Council.”

"But you look no different from ten years ago. Did you really live that long?"

Rachel: "..."

Erica du Chloe, he certainly remembered.

In his memory, Erica was a very polite and well-mannered little girl.

But now... has all the Du Chloe family's upbringing gone to waste?

Rachel sighed helplessly.

He also remembered the time Erica had a big argument with Queen Aurelion.
