Chapter 48: Brilliant Royal City



"I will no longer use levitation to float coffins."

Ash finally recovered and came to this conclusion based on his personal experience. He had a profound understanding of the harm that floating technology could cause to the residents in the coffin.

Fortunately, the conclusion was completely correct, at least Sigourney nodded with satisfaction.

Satisfied, Sigourney raised her hand, picked up the coffin from the side, and walked directly to the edge of the astronomical table with Ash inside.

"Are you not afraid?" He threatened Ash, "Will I throw you down from here?"

Ash laughed, "You won't lose it."

Sigourney snorted noncommittally, then took a step forward and placed the coffin upright on the ground.

"Don't you want to see it?" He pointed down casually, "Go ahead."

At this time, Ash was leaning against the coffin, only a finger's width away from the unobstructed edge of the astronomical platform. It seemed that if he leaned forward a little, he would fall headfirst into the abyss.

The third wizard tower is a second-level wizard tower, with a height of nearly a kilometer. The astronomical observatory is located at the top of it, and its height is enough to make ordinary people tremble, feel dizzy, and lose their composure or even faint on the spot.

But Ash remained calm even though he was within a short distance of falling. After hearing what Sigourney said, he actually lowered his head and looked down.

At just one glance, I was deeply shocked.

From this height, it was more than enough to overlook the entire royal city. But it was impossible to see every detail of the city clearly. The buildings and streets were extremely small at this height. It was reasonable to say that such a view was not worth seeing at all.

However, the Brilliant Royal City is not like this.

At a glance, the entire royal city is in sight.

It is crystal clear and colorful.

As if it rose from the ice field, the whole city is made of ice and snow, which is transparent and flawless, and looks like a natural creation. The city's terrain is from low to high, and the clever construction planning makes the city three-dimensional, with several main roads in the city traversing the sky, which is very conspicuous.

It was still dark, and the lights in the city were still on. The light was like a gently burning flame, quietly flowing on the pure white ice and snow buildings, illuminating the entire royal city.

It’s so beautiful, like falling into a dream.

Ash couldn't help but sigh in admiration. The scenery reflected in his eyes seemed to be a galaxy in the sky, one above, one below. The stars above were distant and cold, while the lights below were warm and approachable. He was in between the two, as if he had returned to a familiar dream, surrounded and embraced by countless streams of light.

The old people in the village often say when they recall the past that the first impression of everyone and everything will have a very special place in a person's memory. Many years have passed, and perhaps you have forgotten everything, but you can still remember how he looked when you first saw him, and you will remember the mood and feelings when you first saw him.

When you meet a city for the first time, no matter what you see or hear, whether you want to remember it or not, it will remain deeply in your memory.

Just like the first time he saw Sigourney, the image of the young man dancing alone in the moonlight was deeply imprinted in his heart and he could never forget it.

Ash took a deep breath of satisfaction and thought to himself, it was great that his first meeting with the Brilliant King City was at this time and in this place, with this person by his side.

He will treasure this scene, this moment forever.

Maybe when I am old, I can tell the children like the old people in the village that there are countless first times in life, which are very important footprints and tracks in life, and may even become an existence that affects a lifetime. We should cherish these precious first times, and sometimes there will be gentle and kind people who will cherish them for us.

When you meet this gentle and kind person, you...

Ash suddenly thought of the lines in Yelena's novel -

Just get married.

He couldn't hold back his breath and choked, and started coughing muffledly.

"Are you cold?" Sigourney asked. "Have you seen enough?"

"Enough... ahem, that's enough." Ash said intermittently.

"Then let's go down." Sigourney mentioned Nance's name with disdain, "Nance still wants to see you."

Mr. Nance?

Ash choked and responded.

Sigourney closed the coffin lid again, and this time she didn't use any floating motion. She simply lifted the pinewood coffin horizontally and left the observatory without any pressure.

The Third Wizard Tower is particularly tall and has a very spacious interior, including a mission hall for handing over missions, a registration office for testing strength and granting identities, a management office for renting and selling magic materials, an open and semi-open library, an official potion shop and equipment shop, etc.

In addition to these public places, the Wizard Tower also rents out a lot of office space, such as the Brilliant Daily, which has a base here. It also provides a series of rental laboratories and equipment, and many wizards have directly settled down in this Wizard Tower.

As the manager of the third wizard tower, Nance also has a spacious private space on the top floor of the wizard tower.

Sigourney took Ash directly to Nance's study. This pretentious old man wanted to appear more dignified and reliable in front of Ash, so he chose the study, a place he usually didn't want to step into.

When he walked into the study, Nance was sitting behind the desk seriously, with her snow-white hair neatly groomed.

"Pretentious," Sigourney said bluntly.

Nan Si glared at him. Why did he need to say it out loud? Damn you! How dare you ruin things like that?

Sigourney gave him a forced smile, then opened the coffin lid, revealing Ash inside.

"Sir Nance." Ash greeted him obediently, but unfortunately he couldn't raise his hands, so he could only blink at Nance and flutter his eyelashes.

"It's because you made others lie in the Stone Castle for a few days that I asked you to go out and provide support." Nance looked at Ash leaning against the coffin, and glared at Sigourney, "And you went to provide support once, and made others feel even worse?"

He looked fierce on the outside but was actually weak on the inside. Sigourney looked at him speechlessly, and saw a request from the depths of the old man's light grey eyes: "Please stop ruining things." He made a "tsk" sound, turned around and walked out, "Whatever you say. I'm going back to my room to rest. Remember to bring the coffin back to me later."

Nance held up the shelf: "Come and get it yourself. Aren't you too lazy to walk these few steps?"

Sigourney snorted lightly, ignored the old man who was addicted to creating a persona, opened the door and strode away.

Here, Nance watched Sigourney leave, breathed a sigh of relief, and then gently asked Ash for his opinion: "Would you like to sit aside for a while? I'll use the levitation technique, it won't hurt you."

"..." Ash politely declined, "It's okay, I'm fine the way I am now."

"That's fine." Nance nodded. "I'll take up some of your time. I'll take you back to the dormitory to sleep later." He paused and said in a friendly manner, "Now, can you tell me about your experiences on the road? Sigourney is used to being alone. I wonder how he will behave this time when he joins you guys?"

What about Sigourney?

Ash, who was a little worried that he might not be able to speak well, suddenly brightened up his eyes. Now he had a lot to say!

An old man and a young man, perhaps the only two people in Iluf who liked and cared about Sigourney, successfully met in the study of the third wizard tower. When they talked about their common people, they became more and more excited and couldn't stop.

From being very handsome on the tundra to being very, very handsome on the train. Not only did Ash use a 5,000 degree filter, but even Nance forgot his elegant and dignified personality and turned on a 2.8 meter filter.

When it comes to Sigourney trying hard to suppress her bloodlust, Ash asks worriedly, "We need to prepare food for him, right?"

Nance smiled and said, "We've prepared everything in his room." He sighed again, "I wonder if he'll drink it."

"Will it?" Ash said, "Sigourney is very hungry." Because of the smell on him, Sigourney had been struggling to endure the whole night.

Nan Si listened to him and pressed his forehead with a headache. "He is very patient. You said he endured it all night, right?"

Ash nodded.

"A small spell can block your aura, so he doesn't have to endure it so painfully." Nans sighed again, "He is using your aura as a test. If he can control himself this time, he won't be afraid of losing control if he encounters the same situation again in the future."

I am still thinking about honing my skills, which means I am not so hungry that I can't stand it.

That guy won’t touch the “food” until he can’t stand it anymore.

"He always demands of himself that he cannot have any weaknesses." Nance was helpless.

"But he's such a picky eater..." Ash frowned, "I guess being picky about food is also a weakness."

Nance was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Yeah! Ash, you have to talk to him carefully. Being picky about food is also a weakness. Otherwise, if the enemy plans to starve him to death one day based on this, it will be terrible."

Ash nodded seriously.

Every time I swap bodies with Sigourney, the body I swapped with is extremely hungry. If this continues, even a vampire wouldn't be able to stand it, right?

"Okay, it's about time." Nance remembered that Ash wasn't in good health, so he ended the conversation with a sense of regret. "Ash, shall I take you back to your room to rest?"

Ash nodded, and the next second, he was landed by a "levitation spell". Nance came over, gently held his arm, pulled him out of the coffin, and took him to the room.

Ash looked back at the coffin and suddenly remembered what Yelena said on the train -

"You confessed your love last night, and you've made your move today. At this rate, you should be sharing a bed with him the night the train arrives in the royal city, right?"

The coffin... can also be considered as the vampire's bed, right?

Thinking of this, he felt dizzy again, perhaps because of the floating technique or because his body was too tired.
