Seven days have passed since we started traveling by air.
These days, I've mostly been eating, drinking, and having fun, while not forgetting my daily practice.
Because Ron had intentionally reduced his daily training sessions, to outsiders it seemed that Ron had been neglecting his cultivation lately…
However, it seems that Prince Woolley has a different idea!
It's another daytime.
Prince Wolai deliberately slowed down the magic crystal carriage until it was traveling alongside Ron and his group's magic crystal carriage.
"Your Highness, is there anything I can help you with?"
Something must have happened! Otherwise, Prince Wu Lai should be leading the way.
“Viscount Ron, how about this: I will have my knight and his magical pet lead the way from now on. In the meantime, I would like to have a chat with Viscount Ron.”
After Prince Wu Lai finished speaking, the flying dragons of the prince's team flew forward.
Seeing this, Ron had no choice but to change formation. He used magic to transmit his voice: "Jeff, take the little dragon to the back."
"Yes, my lord."
As the formation shifted in the air, Ron replied, "What would Your Highness like to discuss?"
"I have recently noticed that Viscount Ron seems to be focused on having fun, but he also occasionally asks me about magic... I wonder if Viscount Ron is more interested in having fun or learning magic."
"I'd rather learn magic! What's wrong, Your Highness? There shouldn't be any conflict between cultivating elemental power and relaxing in the present moment."
"Indeed, Viscount Ron is a man of few words, and that's one of the things I admire about him..."
"Alright, what exactly does Your Highness intend to do?"
Suddenly, Prince Woolley looked thoughtful, but still said, "I believe Viscount Ron is still worried about the future... How about we put aside our travels for now and go on an adventure together?"
"Could it be that His Highness's birthday gift is there?"
Prince Woolley's expression froze.
“Ron…the Viscount is indeed clever, he understands immediately, and there is the legendary magic sword that the Viscount wants, which will be helpful in dealing with the future.”
"The Viscount is one of the most talented magic swordsmen of our time; he should be interested!"
Ron's mind raced: "I could go, but it seems to have a lot to do with me..."
"..."
The specifics of their relationship are left unsaid, but the fact that Prince Wolai would personally invite Ron suggests that Ron is indispensable there, and it's very likely related to spatial magic.
Ron couldn't think of anything else the Carlo Magic Empire might need from him besides spatial magic, and perhaps there were some restrictions there.
Because every empire has space mages, but they are relatively few and lack potential.
With this in mind, the group began to change course along the way.
Cultivation should always come before leisure...
The team flew for half a day and then arrived at the top of the mountains.
Looking down from above, the mountains here are quite spectacular, making it a great place to hide things.
"Viscount Ron, land with us."
"good!"
The dragon landed first, followed by the magic crystal car, and so on.
Amidst rising dust, a group of people disembarked from the crystal vehicle that was suspended at extremely low altitudes.
Ron asked Prince Woolley, "Here? Why are there no magical beasts in sight?"
Places where precious elemental items are hidden usually have magical beasts nearby, because top-tier magical items will automatically attract and gather elements, and having magical beasts nearby is naturally beneficial for evolution.
Instead of answering directly, Woolley said, "Viscount Ron already had a guess, why ask!"
"As expected, it really is related to spatial magic."
Spatial magic has separated the elemental range, so there will be fewer monsters nearby.
Seeing Prince Woolley's quiet expression, Ron said no more.
Spatial element perception…
There!
"Your Highness, please follow me!"
As they walked, Ron remarked, "Your Highness has a brilliant plan; it was all done by me, Ron!"
"Didn't I bring you here with me?"
Ron smiled and said nothing more; both sides tacitly agreed to the deal.
Even routine procedures like drawing up magical contracts during adventures are no longer necessary.
Your Highness, you shouldn't stoop to petty tricks; otherwise, just assume Ron has misjudged you.
As the investigation progressed, Ron became certain that he hadn't misjudged the man.
The birthday gift that Prince Wolai wanted to prepare is very likely in there, as is the legendary magic sword that the prince promised.
The spatial elements ahead were incredibly dense, yet they were cleverly arranged using a magic circle, making them perceptible only to spatial mages.
At dusk, in the mountain forest.
Ron turned around and said, "Come with me."
There were huge rocks ahead, but Ron went in alone, followed by Vivian, Rita... Prince Woolley, Uncle Arno, and so on.
After the concealment magic circle.
A new barrier.
The area is surrounded by clear mountains and green waters, but there are few buildings, only a magic shield in front of it.
With our view blocked, we have no idea what's going on inside.
Before entering the magical barrier, Ron asked, "Your Highness, I see that the treasures inside are not only your birthday gift and my legendary magic sword, but also..."
"The rest are all for Viscount Ron; I only want the Magic Jade Necklace."
Upon hearing the name of the Magic Jade Necklace, Ron knew it was related to enhancing magic, making it very suitable for the Magic Queen, and its value was probably quite high.
"Sure! But what if we don't have one?"
"Never mind, I trust Viscount Ron."
Ron chuckled. He would give it to him if he had it; this little bit wouldn't make him break his promise.
“Very well, I’ll go, Rita, Little Rita…”
Rita placed her hand towards Ron, and after a flash of white light, a divine shield of unfathomable power was completed. Rita then blew out a breath of elemental energy, and Ron felt his senses become instantly clear.
At this point, Prince Woolley gave Rita a deep look.
"Divine magic... very interesting, hopefully, or maybe..."
Ron ignored Prince Woolley's mutterings, channeling his mental energy into the spatial elements as he slowly chanted the incantation...
"Void Shield, appear!"
"Vivian, wait for me here."
It's obvious that only Ron can get in.
As expected, upon entering, Ron was astonished by what he saw; his heart pounded uncontrollably. (●● |||)
"These days, the royal families of various empires are just here to deliver gifts... The royal family of the Baron Swordsman Empire, why don't you come in person..."
This insatiable greedy individual was even expecting the Baron Swordsman Empire to deliver a great gift, unaware that the Baron Empire was currently facing a chilling threat from a certain prince lurking with demons...
Back on Ron's side, he saw a ground littered with tattered magic swords, magic robes, and other artifacts, as well as many timeless treasures.
All old and worn-out magical artifacts are utterly unworthy of being compared to this treasure.
Years have passed, and a necklace, a magic sword, three black robes, a magic crystal cannon, two magic core staves, three magic scrolls... all of these are shrouded in elemental aura and are in such good condition that they seem almost too new.
Wait a minute, could this magic crystal cannon be the legendary goblin's national treasure from the ruins...?
Unfortunately, the magical characters on them were incomprehensible, and even their names were unknown. The same was true for the other elemental items.
Collect, collect...
We'll take it if we can, and study it later.
Oh right, the necklace and the magic sword, we need to take those two out later!
Fortunately, Prince Woolley said the rest would all belong to Ron, otherwise Ron would have had to come up with some excuse.
Other empires and royal families are so wealthy and powerful!
All I need is a birthday gift.
Why be polite to forces that have the limited ability to explore the dimensional world? Ron will never forget where Little Tower came from.
One of my storage rings is full. It also contains some worn-out magical items. What if they come in handy? I'll take them all. I'm a space mage, and I have enough space rings for now.
I truly hope the ring is filled with happiness.
(?????)
No wonder people love adventure; there's definitely a reason for it.
After confirming several times that there were no other magic crystals in the small magic barrier, Ron emerged from it.
He couldn't stop smiling when facing Prince Woolley; the prince was a good person.
"Here you are, the birthday gift you prepared."
The necklace was tossed over.
Prince Wu Lai accepted it: "Not bad, as expected, only a spatial mage like you could pass this!"
The magical barrier is a test; the gifts from our predecessors are meant to help us avert future disasters, but they cannot be wasted.
Before reaching the Master level, one's understanding of spatial magic must reach the level of genius as perceived by people of that era...
Ron's Magic Shield seems to have been achieved, even with the help of Micah Morris's predecessor's wisdom...
Some super-modified spells that are too difficult to master cannot be used simply by having them; they also require understanding and possible modifications to achieve a suitable final result. Reaching the natural perfection level of the elemental sprites depends on luck.
Elemental spirits often act unintentionally, yet their actions exceed the bounds of the law; perhaps it is precisely this unintentionality that makes them so…
It cannot be forced; it will come naturally with its own destiny! Or perhaps it can be said that nothing is perfect, because unintentional actions inevitably lead to unpredictable outcomes in wartime…
Prince Woolley understood all these reasons better than Ron, whose knowledge was certainly less than that of others who came from the imperial royal family.
Several days have passed since the exploration, and Ron feels that Prince Woolley is even more approachable.
It seems that only after Ron came out of the space magic circle did Prince Woolley finally place Ron on an equal footing. What a damned hierarchical system!
However, Ron felt a little uncomfortable. This cunning prince could change his attitude again. He had thought that the other party had treated him sincerely and even gave him a big gift.
No, we need to be on guard...
Time passed, and in about ten days, after two large-scale teleportations, they were about to enter the Carlo Magic Empire.
The magic crystal vehicle is much smaller than the subspecies dragon, making it easier to teleport...
Have we finally arrived? The Carlo Magic Empire…
