Chapter 739 Real Name Mismatch
Roland Sky Realm
This world is a spherical space, and there is no concept of planets. Here, the main body of the world is a supercontinent suspended in the void. Outside the continent is a surging sea of magic.
In the beginning, there was indeed a planet here, but as the Council of Arcane unified the time and eliminated time errors, the original planet was transformed into a continent.
The void outside the planet is also filled with the sea of magic, which serves as a common resource for all mages to cultivate magical creatures or directly call upon them.
If you fly upwards, directly through the sea of magic and reach the top, you will be able to see the most advanced creation of the mage civilization - the Arcane Council.
That is to say, the "Ether Sun" replaces the fixed stars to illuminate the Roland Sky Realm!
In Roland Sky Realm, there are two suns. One is free outside the world barrier. Whenever a mage uses a related spell, it will light up, and the spell light will cross countless light years and accurately project into the mage's eyes to serve as a "lighthouse".
The second one, within the world barrier, is the Council of Arcane.
This is a circular structure composed of countless arcs. It looks like a plane attached to the barrier of the world, but if you look closely, you will find that behind every gap created by the continuous rotation of those arcs, there is an alien space.
Obviously, this is just one, or countless "doors", and the real Offa Parliament is still behind.
This door will release corresponding magic rays according to the order of day and night, accurately distributing energy and light to every being on the continent.
If you stand in the world of consciousness and look towards the Council of Arcane, it will appear completely different - there is only a silver-white circle here, and no matter from which angle you look at it, this circle is facing you.
And, at this moment.
In the world of consciousness, a mage who had left Roland's space world for a long time was standing in front of this "circle".
"Welcome back, Mage."
A familiar voice sounded in Xingchen's ears, and he took a deep breath.
Back.
"Hello Council, I'm Stardust."
Buzz...
The silver-white circle rotated silently, and soon it responded:
"The real names don't match."
“…”
Stardust rubbed his brow.
Hearing these words, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"I am La."
"The real names don't match."
“…”
Stardust was silent.
Although he had vaguely guessed that this situation would happen, he still frowned when it really came to this.
Previously, in the place where the real dragon died, in order to salvage Ren Zheng's rhythmic body to the first level, La Ben wanted to temporarily use himself in exchange, but he didn't expect that the princess would use her spiritual power to replace him, turning the situation into an exchange between the princess and Ren Zheng.
But because of this, a temporary "real name exchange" was reached between La and Stardust.
Now, his official real name is Stardust... but it is not in the database of the Council of Arcane.
And...it doesn't match me.
Stuck.
Stardust has a toothache.
The technology of the Council of Arcane is quite advanced, so its database is not affected by general changes in the rules of the world.
In this real name exchange, even the card name of "Scorching Eye of Ra" in Yu Cang's hand was changed to "Scorching Eye of Stardust", but the database of the Arcane Council remained unchanged. There was no record of a mage named Stardust.
Under normal circumstances, this actually has no impact, but now, I want to open the Arcane Council and call the Ascension Ceremony in it, so I must first enable my permission as a "pull".
However, the use of this authority requires triple verification of real name + mage himself + magic nature.
And now...his real name doesn't match his own.
As for the nature of the magic power... he doesn't even have a body now, so naturally there is no way to verify it.
After a moment of silence, Stardust continued, "Activate Secret Verification Program No. 61. Lyrics: The first is the snakeman, the second is the herdsman, the third is the siren, and the fourth is the clan..."
This verse was very long, and it took Xingchen ten minutes to finish it.
And it’s not over yet.
Once, it was just the lyrics spoken in the common language of Roland's sky world.
Next, Stardust repeated the lyrics in six languages, including Ancient Dragon Language, Third Slit Language, and Star Clan Language.
These languages have been highly encrypted by the Council of Arcane Mages. Ordinary mages are not allowed to learn them, and they cannot be acquired through the realm of consciousness. Only people with special identities can learn them.
Moreover, as long as it is within the scope of the consciousness realm, it cannot be taught to others privately.
After a while, the complete lyrics were spoken and Stardust stopped.
The Council of Offa spoke coldly:
"Sorry, Master, the secret verification program cannot be used while the survival code is in effect."
Stardust: “…”
Why didn’t you say it earlier?
Although some languages require very little time to repeat the lyrics, it still took him nearly an hour to finish reciting the lyrics.
I haven't been back for such a long time. How come the Council of Olympians has become like this?
He raised his head and looked at the circle spinning in the distance in front of him, frowning.
Xingchen felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
After all, no one knew what was written in the code of the existence of the Council of Arcane Law, Roland Sky Realm had never experienced such a critical moment, and Stardust had no precedent to refer to.
However, there is a way.
La sighed.
Turning around, he tried to return to Yu Cang, but... failed.
His expression changed quietly.
Um?
What's going on?
He quickly calmed down and sensed, and found that the connection between him and Yu Cang still existed faintly and had not been cut off, but there seemed to be some unknown obstacle preventing him from getting in touch with Yu Cang.
Stardust raised his brows slightly, realizing something, and turned to look at the Council of Arcane Law.
"You did it?"
The silver circle was still spinning slowly, without giving any response.
Seeing this, Xingchen fell silent, but the feeling that something was wrong in his heart became stronger and stronger.
It's really strange to say.
After the Great Return Spell, he came directly to the Council of Arcane Law instead of staying with Yu Cang.
According to the normal process of this spell, he should appear at a spatial anchor point in Roland Sky Realm - Roland Sky Realm uses space teleportation arrays to connect the continent, and those teleportation arrays serve as anchor points, responsible for guiding the mages back to the city.
The return anchor point he set should be his own mage tower - that is his private space anchor point.
He had to go back to the tower to get something before coming to the Council of Offa to try to obtain permission.
And now, after being teleported, not only was he not with Yu Cang, he was also sent directly to the front of the Council of Arcane Law...
In fact, after all, he hasn't been back for ten thousand years, and some knowledge is still missing in Xingchen's mind. He has been prepared for some errors in the transmission.
So when he first appeared before the Council of Offa, he just thought there was a deviation and did not investigate further.
But now that I think about it...it's a big problem.
"Master, please confirm the identity as soon as possible."
In response to Stardust's questioning, the Council of Arcane Law only uttered this.
Stardust: “…”
He narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Council, tell me the current number of mages in Roland Sky Realm."
"Sorry, Master, I am not authorized to provide that service."
"...Roland Sky Realm, is there anyone still alive?"
"Our world thrives, Master."
The words of the Council of Arcane Law were spoken softly without any emotion and reached Stardust's ears.
Hearing these words, Xingchen felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
wrong!
When he left Roland Sky Realm, this place had already fallen!
Otherwise, he wouldn't leave...
What happened in Roland Sky Realm after he left here?
Stardust quickly turned around and looked towards the main continent.
However, before he could get far, his vision was blocked by a sticky wall.
He couldn't see what was happening on the main continent.
"...Council, send me to Hegrasev."
"Sorry, Master, I am not authorized to provide that service."
“…”
"Master, please confirm my identity as soon as possible."
…
at the same time.
Arcane Corridor
Yu Cang called out to Xingchen in his heart, but after a long time, Xingchen did not respond.
His heart sank, and he raised his hand and pulled out a soul card from the card box.
Roland Sky Realm·Ether Descends·Stardust
This card has two forms, Stardust Eye and Ether Descendant, which can display different card information according to Yu Cang's wishes.
However, now, this soul card seems to have lost this function. The card surface has turned gray, and the name has become "??? Stardust???", and there are strings of question marks on the card surface.
And... it's no longer usable!
Yu Cang tried to summon Stardust in a zero anchor state, but failed!
It seemed as if the soul card in front of him had become a piece of waste.
Seeing Yu Cang's strange expression, Di Chang'an asked, "What happened?"
"...I can't contact Xingchen anymore." Yu Cang took a deep breath, "I don't know the specific situation either."
"Oh?" Di Chang'an's expression changed slightly. "It seems that we need to adapt to the situation first."
"Um……"
Yu Cang put away the soul card and began to sort out the current situation.
When Xingchen decided to replace Ren Zheng with himself at the True Dragon's Death Place, he had actually already made a rough plan for Roland Kongjie and his group. In the absence of Xingchen, they could act on their own.
The details of the situation here were also told to him.
The Arcane Corridor was a city in Roland's Sky Realm. They had to first go to Stardust's Mage Tower, located near Heggrasev, the "City of Time Slots."
Roland Sky Realm is very large, and there are no-fly zones everywhere. If you walk there, you may not be able to reach it in a year.
Although Xingchen had given Yu Cang the map, Xingchen's memory was damaged and many details in the map no longer matched. If he accidentally entered the range of a wizard tower, it would waste time.
The only way is... to use the teleportation array.
Yu Cang glanced at his feet.
...This should be it.
Stardust's plan mentioned that if there is a deviation in the transmission, one only needs to go to the local Arcane Association, find the space hub there, and use it by oneself.
But now…
Yu Cang looked around, feeling helpless.
I thought it would be a ruin when I landed, and I could just take whatever I wanted, but now it seems that it will be difficult.
Huh? Wait...
Yu Cang was suddenly stunned.
Is the picture in front of you clearer than before?
He frowned, uncertain.
It seems... the clothes worn by those pedestrians have more details and their appearance is more three-dimensional... No, they should have been like this... No... Right, right... Right?
"Hello."
At this moment, a voice interrupted Yu Cang's confused thoughts.
Yu Cang raised his head and saw a long-eared man wearing cloth armor and carrying a longbow coming towards him.
With this dress and appearance, he is obviously an elf ranger, which fits the stereotype.
Yu Cang frowned. Although he felt something was wrong, he still asked, "What's the matter?"
The Elf Ranger smiled elegantly, "Hello, are you a mage?"
"Why do you ask?"
"We at 'Gilded Sword and Shield' are in need of a mage. I see you look impressive, brother. You must be quite capable. How about joining us?"
"..." Yu Cang was silent for a moment, "Sorry, that's not necessary."
"Is that so?" The Elf Ranger said regretfully, "Forget it then."
"etc."
"What's wrong?"
"How do I get to the Arcane Guild?"
"Hey, little brother, if you're going there, you must be a mage. Why are you rejecting me?"
"I'm not a mage, I'm just doing some work."
"Tsk, alright... follow this road, turn right and keep going, and you'll see it."
"Thanks."
…
Watching the elf ranger leave, Yu Cang rubbed his chin.
"Emperor Shenhua, do you feel something is wrong?"
Di Changan: "If there is something wrong, it's already very wrong that there are people here."
"...That's true." Yu Cang sighed, "Forget it, let's go to the Arcane Association first."
Following the guidance of the Elf Ranger, Yu Cang walked for about ten minutes and saw the gate of the Arcane Association.
Standing at the door, Yu Cang looked up.
It was a tall building constructed of white stone, its doors made of bronze, with star tracks silently rotating on them. Above the doors, a huge symbol was carved into the white stone exterior.
It was a hollow circle divided into three sections, with a solid circle in the middle.
Stardust had introduced this group to him before. It represents the Arcane Council and also represents the mages. Seeing this logo means that this is indeed the Arcane Association.
"Hello."
A doorman came forward.
"Excuse me, are you a mage?"
Yu Cang: "...I'm not."
"I see."
"I want to use the space teleportation array here."
"Where are you going?"
"Hegrasev."
"No problem, I need one thousand Ether."
“…”
"If you are a mage, we can provide free service."
"Mage..." Yu Cang was lost in thought. "Then, how do I become a mage?"
"It's easy, you just need to pass some simple tests."
Yu Cang was silent for a moment.
"Take me to see it."
