Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 669: 214. Hidden World Wizard

Suman Archipelago, Core Circle, Deep Sea Branch, inside Selena’s study room.

Instead of a study, this place is more like a vast Magic Laboratory.

The Deep Sea Branch’s castle is built on a mountain about a kilometer above sea level, with three main towers and more than a dozen auxiliary towers.

Selena’s study is located at the top of one of the main towers, featuring a hemispherical stone dome, large windows, spacious balconies, and bright and gentle magic pendant lamps.

Above the dark blue carpet inside the room, floating a few meters above ground level, are more than a dozen miniature oceans with diameters larger than one meter.

The miniature oceans look like large water spheres with constantly rippling surfaces and shadowy fish swimming beneath them.

Beneath several miniature oceans, Selena closes her eyes and half lies on a soft sofa, supporting her head with her right hand, seemingly lost in slumber.

In front of her, Noland Lee is using “Mind Infusion” to teach her the Dragon Clan Stele Script deconstructed from the Tide Spy.

The Stele Script totals over six thousand characters, all written in Dragon Clan runes.

On the basis of a perfect and flawless soul contract already established with Selena, Noland kindly offers translation services to save her the trouble of translating Dragon Clan runes while deep in thought.

The process of imparting knowledge through “Mind Infusion” is quite lengthy.

It will likely take Noland half an hour to transmit all the Dragon Clan Stele Script.

As he maintains his casting state, he counts his gains tonight in his heart.

First is the secret knowledge about “Casting Permissions.”

The Ascension Fortress that Noland and Selena previously discussed comes from Selena’s memory fragments.

The Ascension Fortress indeed existed, with historical literature of the Dragon Clan as proof.

As of now, the Ascension Fortress has disappeared from this world. High-level wizards like Selena speculate that the Spinning Continent is the remnant of the Ascension Fortress.

They also believe that the disappearance of the Ascension Fortress only means the loss of its material form. The entire fortress still exists in this world in a mysterious and elusive form.

The visit rules for each layer of the Ascension Fortress and the magic knowledge within the fortress are preserved along with it.

This speculation is a “conclusion drawn by deductive reasoning.”

High-level wizards based this theory on the following:

Wizards who haven’t reached Seven-Ring cannot cast high-level spells.

To be precise:

Wizards who haven’t cultivated their Meditation Method to Seven-Ring level cannot cast high-level spells.

Meditation Method is the key to accessing the various layers of the Ascension Fortress.

Only with the cultivation of the Meditation Method to a certain level can one access the corresponding layer of the Ascension Fortress.

Wizards below Seven-Ring do not have access to the seventh layer of the Ascension Fortress, and therefore cannot draw on the magic knowledge it contains to cast high-level spells.

About this speculation, Main Lecturers have conducted some very abstract experiments.

The minimum requirement to become a Main Lecturer is Seven-Ring.

They used two different methods to authorize their students to use high-level spells.

The first method:

The Main Lecturer drafts a temporary magic contract, listing themselves as the Client and the borrower of the spell as Party B.

They write in the magic contract, “I lend the right to use a certain spell to Party B, who must pay me so many points of mana every time they use it.”

A magic contract in this format can take effect normally, and Party B temporarily gains the right to use the high-level spell.

In the second method of writing, the Main Lecturer modifies some of the wording.

They write as follows:

I lend Party B access to the seventh layer of the Ascension Fortress, specifically related to a certain high-level spell, and Party B must pay me so many points of mana every time they access it.

In this format of the magic contract, there is no mention of “the right to use high-level spells,” only the “permission to access the specific spell in the seventh layer of the Ascension Fortress.”

Can this magic contract take effect?

The answer is, yes it can, and the effect is exactly the same as the first magic contract, with no difference at all.

Main Lecturers change the wording again, using words like “stone,” “flowers and plants,” “Hotams,” “Kashel Continent,” and so on to replace “Ascension Fortress” in the second magic contract. For example, “I lend Party B access to the seventh layer of the mangy dog, specifically related to a certain high-level spell.”

When the wording changes in this way, the magic contract does not work.

This shows that a wizard’s casting permissions come from the Ascension Fortress. This secret is known only to Seven-Ring and higher wizards and has not been widely disseminated.

But… where is the Ascension Fortress?

Unknown.

It has disappeared.

It has lost its material form and exists in a strange manner in this world, continually restricting wizards’ casting abilities and their ability to acquire magic knowledge, becoming a sort of “world rule” existence.

However, this does not hinder wizards from collecting all Dragon Clan manuscripts shed from the Spinning Continent and delving into the visiting permissions for the Ascension Fortress.

Noland Lee is also curious about the Ascension Fortress.

Considering that wizards speculate the Spinning Continent as the possible relic of the Ascension Fortress, he decides to take a look at the rumored constant spinning continent and, incidentally, plunder the Dragon clan treasure in the Blue Cave.

Putting the Ascension Fortress aside for now, Noland Lee flips through tonight’s system message.

The Demon Spirit Wizard who replaced the imposter butler in action is called Eve Mastin.
