Chapter 164 Knowledge and Registration
A group of people surrounded Benjamin and chattered.
Looking at the group of wizards in front of him, some of whom were at least level three and some were at level five, Benjamin didn't dare to say anything. He could only let them stuff the note with the communication serial number into his hand with a confused look on his face.
It was not until Viola, like a child protecting her own child, went to great lengths to drive away all the people that Benjamin finally came to his senses and looked at the handful of notes in his hand in a daze.
Viola, who had just faced those wizards with a fierce look, turned around and her tone immediately became much gentler: "Are you scared? Sorry, it's my fault. If I hadn't made such a fuss, these guys wouldn't be like this."
Jieming shook his head in confusion: "I'm not really scared, but what's wrong with these people?"
At first, Jieming thought these people were here to cause trouble, but from what they said, it seemed that they were interested in his model of the Eye of All Uses?
Viola saw through his thoughts. "Yes, it's related to your All-Seeing Eye. This witchcraft is quite rare. After all, it's purely auxiliary witchcraft. Because the construction conditions are too harsh, almost no one can construct it independently."
"However, this witchcraft is also a leading auxiliary witchcraft among research-based witchcraft, so it is very popular. However, due to the special nature of the Universal Eye, many people find it difficult to find an Universal Eye suitable for their research. That's why that situation arises."
Viola curled her lips and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. Although those guys look weird, they are not bad people."
"I think they're dressed like they belong to the same faction..."
"That's right. Those guys are from the Tower of Nirvana. Although the name sounds very domineering, it is actually a research-based wizard force that specializes in the study of Nirvana-type witchcraft. The people in it are all research scholars, so they are easy to talk to."
"But you have to be careful with the Chaos Cult. I don't know what those guys are up to all day. Stay away from them!"
"Yes..." Benjamin responded blankly.
"If you reach a higher level in the future, you can send them your All-Seeing Eye model and make a fortune from them! Even though those guys are just research wizards, they are all very rich!"
Viola clenched her fists excitedly, as if she would be the one making money instead of Benjamin.
Having said that, she suddenly put her arm around Jieming's shoulders and said, "Oh, by the way, since I've given you so much information, remember to give me a discount when your All-purpose Eye is updated in the future!"
"Of course, of course..." Benjamin responded to her awkwardly.
However, this also made Benjamin understand the wizards' madness in their pursuit of knowledge.
"It seems that compared to things like points, knowledge is the real hard currency among wizards..." Benjamin thought silently in his heart.
At least after this episode, the relationship between the two became much more familiar.
Viola finally remembered her mission and gave Benjamin a detailed introduction to the information about the junction.
"This intersection itself was created by high-level wizards from the three major forces."
According to Viola, this piece of space debris was not formed naturally, but was constructed by several powerful high-level wizards and stabilized with powerful witchcraft and space runes.
At the beginning, it was just a place to register and publish the plane war missions between the three forces.
However, as time went on, this place gradually evolved into an area where wizards from three forces communicated and traded, and even lived temporarily, forming a unique "mobile market".
Benjamin looked around. He was too nervous to observe carefully.
Now that he calmed down, he realized that this intersection presented a "weird" scene.
The architectural styles here are different and there is no unified planning, as if they were randomly "transplanted" from different dimensions.
There are standard workshop-style buildings of the Norn Workshop, standing next to the obsidian tower of the Tower of Annihilation that is full of the breath of death, and there are also cave-like residences of the Chaos Cult that are full of twisted and strange runes.
Apart from these, the most common ones are those special buildings that are full of exotic styles and can be seen at first glance as products of other dimensions.
Most of these buildings are shops selling all kinds of strange and bizarre things from the other world.
From bone weapons engraved with ancient runes, to strange plants emitting energy fluctuations from another world, from living beasts imprisoned in energy fields, to energy essences contained in crystal bottles.
There are all kinds of items that wizards need or are curious about.
In addition to wizards, this place is also filled with slaves and wizard servants of various shapes and sizes.
Some are giant savages several meters tall, bound by indentures as laborers.
Some are small and cute humanoid creatures, hawking their wares at store counters.
There are even some aliens with multiple limbs and skin with a strange sheen, wandering the streets as bodyguards or thugs.
Some of them had numb expressions, some had eyes that sparkled with wisdom, and some showed fear.
Passing by a shop that looked like it was grown from a whole tree, Benjamin looked in amazement at the energy light ball that looked like a jellyfish and was arranging the shelves inside.
"Notice."
Viola's reminder came from his ears. When Benjamin came to his senses, he found that a straight "wall" suddenly appeared in front of him.
The wall appeared so abruptly that even Benjamin didn't notice any signs. It was as if it suddenly appeared before his eyes.
When Benjamin saw the true appearance of the wall, he was even more surprised - this was not a wall, but another road!
Gravity here doesn't follow the rules at all.
He was standing on a wide street. The road ahead seemed straight, but suddenly, it began to rise at a right angle of ninety degrees, giving him the illusion that he was walking towards a wall.
However, this visual weirdness did not cause any discomfort.
Following Viola's steps onto the "wall", Benjamin found that his body still maintained the feeling of standing normally.
The gravity under his feet seemed to adjust automatically, allowing him to stand easily on the "vertical" wall, as if it were originally flat ground.
The spatial area within the entire space seems to have been artificially distorted and adjusted, creating an inverted and disordered visual effect.
However, for wizards who are accustomed to it, this is just a strange sight and does not affect their actions.
"This space-distorting design is in line with the aesthetic tastes of high-level wizards." Benjamin thought to himself.
This kind of place is itself a display of power.
Viola was already accustomed to this strange environment. She led Benjamin skillfully through those strange buildings and various creatures, and went straight to a tall building in the center of the space debris.
This building is the only place here with a unified style and appears extremely majestic. It is obviously the common administrative center of the three forces.
They walked into the hall, which was also a spacious space with a huge magic crystal lamp suspended above the ceiling, emitting a soft light.
In the center of the hall stood several tall counters, behind each of which sat a creature responsible for issuing and registering tasks.
Viola brought Jermyn to one of the counters, behind which sat a handsome alien creature.
He had long, pointed ears like an elf, his skin was light golden, and his deep eyes were filled with strange runic light.
"We are here to sign up for the plane conquest mission. This is my friend." Viola said concisely.
The handsome alien creature raised his eyes slightly, his gaze swept over Jemin, as if conducting some invisible scan, and then nodded.
He took out two crystals engraved with runes and handed them to Jermyn and Viola.
"Please inject your personal information and needs into it." His voice was cool and pleasant.
Benjamin and Viola each took the crystal and injected their identity information and expertise into it.
The initial registration takes some time to process, as the three forces will evaluate and record the wizards based on their level, expertise, and past performance.
While waiting for processing, Viola explained to Benjamin, "According to the normal frequency, a plane conquest mission will appear basically every one or two months. If you're lucky, there may even be one every month. If you sign up now, you will have the opportunity to fight soon. Before that, you can prepare in advance."
She pointed to the surrounding shops selling supplies and said, "If you need anything, you can buy it here."
Benjamin nodded to show that he understood.
However, he has his own system of talismans, magical tools, and alchemical reserves, so he is not very interested in the goods here.
While waiting, Benjamin strolled around the intersection.
He shuttled between various peculiar shops, silently observing those strange objects from other worlds with his "all-purpose eye".
There are indeed many novel things here, such as the heart that keeps beating even after leaving the body, which contains violent vitality.
Or it could be the fragments of a fallen god on a dead planet, emitting faint fluctuations of laws.
However, he soon discovered that all the goods here, whether they were rare treasures or practical supplies, were settled in terms of high or low-level military merits.
Although Benjamin still had the high-level military merit points he had earned from making refined gold, and there were many goods here that could be purchased, he did not want to spend these precious military merit points here for the time being.
Finally, the two returned to the registration hall.
The alien creature has already processed their registration applications.
"This is your identity token." He handed them two new crystals. "It also comes bundled with a terminal that can access the communication network of the three forces. When missions are issued in the future, you will be notified directly through the magic network. Prepare for battle, Your Excellency the Wizard."
Benjamin took over the magic network terminal engraved with the joint emblem of the three forces.
It has a compact appearance but an extremely complex internal structure, allowing it to seamlessly connect to the public magic networks of the Noren Workshop, the Tower of Annihilation, and the Chaos Cult, receive mission information, check military merit points, and even conduct some basic communication.
