Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 360

Chapter 358 The Second Sky

Locke was a little confused. He had long felt that it was strange that there were isolated barriers between wizarding lands all over the wizarding world.

But unexpectedly, the sky in the wizarding world was even stranger. There was actually a second sky, and above the clouds, there was another cloud layer. Crashing into that cloud layer was like crashing into another world!
Meanwhile, in the Sun Chaser’s central control room, a wizard in the liquefied stage, wearing the alchemist’s distinctive ochre and fiery red robe, ordered the school’s many first-class wizard apprentices and full wizards to quickly activate the Sun Chaser’s [Corona Blade] array.

Suddenly, a corona layer formed at the front end of the Sun-Chasing Silver Shuttle, and the corona layer turned into a huge flying blade. Then, the Sun-Chasing Silver Shuttle used the end of the corona flying blade to crash into the cloud above the cloud.

Powerful energy suddenly erupted from the bow of the Sun Chaser Silver Shuttle. In an instant, the huge impact force swept across the entire wizard airship.

The entire wizard’s airship was bounced back as if it had hit an invisible film in the sky, and then fell down helplessly.

But the next moment, the alchemists activated the Solar Alchemy Array and threw a large amount of matter into it, causing a violent eruption of matter in the Solar Alchemy Array. The wizard airship regained power and rushed upward for the second time.

Inside the airship library, Locke sat at the long table in the library, stabilizing his body. He saw this scene through the transparent glass window on the top of the library.

The transparent glass window is actually not glass, but is made of an alchemical material called Golden Crystal of Time. It has the special properties of being indestructible, absorbing energy to become harder, and being able to see through things. It is the preferred material for many void battleships.

The Sun-Chasing Silver Shuttle hit the thick cloud wall for the second time, and finally created a gap in the cloud wall. Then the entire airship, under the tremendous pressure of the cloud wall, penetrated deep into the cloud layer like a drill.

The entire Golden Crystal of Time observation window became dark.

Seeing this scene, Locke asked in confusion: “What’s going on? Wait a minute, the world really feels different to me.”

Locke felt an illusion that his magic power was being suppressed.

The whole world seemed to be against him, and from all directions, the undisguised and arrogant malice came towards all the wizards in the airship.

“Bang~”

When the void battleship passed through the cloud wall, a huge world force suddenly gathered into a lightning bolt, hitting the corona of the Sun Chasing Silver Shuttle, shaking the entire battleship.

Locke said, “This battleship shouldn’t have been built by that alchemy school, right? I see that the magic level of that alchemy school isn’t very high. The most powerful wizard seems to be only at the liquefaction stage.”

Wizard Salvador was carefully adjusting the lotus leaves on his head. “Of course, that school only has the right to use and operate this Void Battleship. The Void Battleship’s range and flight schedule are determined by the White Wizards Association headquarters.”

“The White Wizard Association places the utmost importance on protecting private property, so this Void Battleship couldn’t possibly be the private property of a wizarding organization. While the principles behind its construction aren’t complex, being only at the first ring level, its scale is immense. Without an incredible number of first-ring alchemists, and without the guidance and planning of second- and even third-ring alchemists, its construction would be impossible.”

The Salvadoran wizard was a little worried that the lotus leaf on his head would be damaged, so he simply used both hands to protect the lotus leaf.

“The wizard organization on this void battleship is essentially just the flight crew of this airship. However, the Wizard Association wanted to make the best use of it and simply established a wizard academy here to train alchemists specifically for repairing and piloting void battleships.”

“Alchemists who graduate from here will never have trouble finding a job.”

Locke understood that this was like setting up a professional college on a vehicle.

In this way, teaching, scientific research, industry, and most importantly, industry-related personnel can all be trained on this void battleship.

It really kills two birds with one stone.

Locke asked the Salvadorian wizard: “So, Salvadorian wizard, what is the matter with the second sky?”

Wizard Salvador shook his head. “As expected of Breeder Augustine, your curiosity about the mysteries of the world is admirable. But I’m not a wizard who studies this field, so I don’t know. You could ask others, or look up books in the free library here.”

“Perhaps you can find relevant information here. But I don’t think the hope is great, as the knowledge level here is very high.”

“Knowledge is power, so some knowledge is blocked by the White Wizards Association.”

The Salvadorian wizard held the lotus leaf on his head and said, “I only know some hearsay information. For example, our world originally did not have a second cloud layer. The second cloud layer is essentially the sky of another world, but that world no longer exists and has been swallowed up by our world.”

“The remaining fragments of the world have become the second sky between some wizarding lands. It is very dangerous in the second sky, but it is the most efficient way to travel through the major wizarding lands.”

“Because the natural barriers between different wizarding lands are either dangerous areas that we in the wizarding world absolutely cannot set foot in, or space-time fields that are more complex than the Second Sky.”

Wizard Salvador frequently travels on Void Warships, so he’s quite experienced in this area. “For example, while the Land of the Six Towers is located near the Southeast Corner, it’s separated by a vast Dragon Mountain Range. The Dragon Mountain Range is incredibly vast, and even contains many real dragons.”

“Among those true dragons, there might even be two-ring and three-ring dragons.”

“Furthermore, the Dragon Realm is likely even more complex than the current environment. If we take the land route, we’ll have to cross the Dragon Realm and the Dragon Mountains. That would be even more dangerous than it is now, and would require even more resources and time.”

“So, we usually take the sky route. And when we take the sky route, we will encounter a second sky like this one.”

Another lightning bolt evolved from the power of the world struck the sky above the corona of the void battleship. The artificial sun seemed to spray out a lot of hot substances, illuminating the sky, as dazzling as a gold nugget melted by fire.

Through the observation window of the Golden Crystal of Time, Locke saw many humanoid armors made of condensed lightning floating around the void battleship. Each of these humanoid armors had a magnetic storm eye on the back, and these humanoid armors were wearing cloaks made of condensed lightning.

A warning sounded from the various voice transmission arrays in the Void Battleship, “Everyone, the Sun Chaser Silver Shuttle has been attacked by the afterimage of the Thunder God Palace. Please rest assured.”

‘The situation is still under the control of the Sun Chaser Silver Shuttle crew.’
