The thick clouds accumulated into layers, and they were changing into many shapes as the wind blew. The flying castle flew past the clouds amid the night sky, finally arriving near Yala.
The flying castle wasn’t fast or flexible, so Lu Zhiyu had deemed it useless for battle or other applications. However, it was pretty good for transportation.
In this era, there was not much danger in the sky anyway. Aside from some rare flying magical beasts, nothing would suddenly attack the castle, so it was a very peaceful trip.
Within the flying castle, Eva was resting in bed. As for Lu Zhiyu, he had closed his eyes in the bedroom and started to meditate. His consciousness flew into the world of zero degree dimension to feel the mysteries of another dimension, as well as the power of origin held within that world.
Meanwhile, the wings of the flying castle glided through the sky, separating the clouds. Under the night sky, the stars twinkled and the whole world was calm.

Yala hadn’t changed much. The elves who used to all live in the Forest of Life had now split into three groups. The separation of the Kingdom of Elf allowed them to leave the Forest of Life and build different cities in Yala. However, the whole continent was still like a desert in regards to civilization.
The entire elf population was no more than twenty hundred thousand, which was not much more than a slightly populated larger human city. Hence, it was barely worthy to mention.
The elves’ long lifespans and their lack of threat of being invaded, had provided no motivation for them to change their way of living. In fact, the last time something happened that brought about any change to the elves was the death of the Tree of Life. Its destruction had brought huge calamity upon them, which made them reconsider their futures.
Soon after that, the seed of the Tree of Life was given to them by Lu Zhiyu, bringing with it hope. At that time, many of the elves decided to leave the Forest of Life to go and seek a brighter future. This was when the Kingdom of Elf had split into three groups.
This was also the catalyst for the establishment of wizard schools. This made sense, as the majority of the elves were curious about the wizards, and they were especially amazed by their strange witchcraft and extraordinary powers. Most importantly, they admired their talent and wisdom.
From the elf wizards, they could learn things like music, architecture, art, literature and smithing. This was mind-blowing, especially for the elves that were into art and culture!
The elves who hadn’t even finished exploring the whole continent of Yala had realized that, in this vast world, they were not the only civilization, and that on the other side of the ocean, there was an even more enriched and colorful world! ( Boxno vel. co m )
Deep in the Forest of Life in Yala, near the grand canyon in the south of the city of Sylve, there was the Hagrid Grand Canyon. It was this grand canyon that had once changed the elves’ hearts, prompting them to explore the east.
In this area, a wide river flowed, then formed a huge waterfall as it reached the Hagrid Grand Canyon. The river quickly fell into the grand canyon, like a stream of white silk, creating thousands of layers of white fog.
As for the high ground that stood next to the waterfall, a snowy white beautiful tower had been erected there. The river flowed next to the tower, and an S-shaped stone bridge went over the river, leading to the gate of the tower.
There were flowers blooming everywhere, and birds and animals would drink from the river. Underneath the tower was an abyss, and on the other side was an endless dense forest. Seeing the tower from the river side, with the white clouds as a background, it was almost like the tower was actually connected to the clouds in the blue sky.
The main body of the tower was a castle, which had a high tower that was surrounded by other buildings. Between the tower and buildings, there were stairs and bridges that connected them, and even more stairs spiraled up through the insides of the castles.
At this moment, many elves were walking within a special tower. This was the wizard school of the elves, which was held in the Corolla Tower.
At this moment, Wendy was teaching a class within one of the great halls of the Corolla Tower. They were on level three and the waterfall could be seen right outside the windows. It was terrifying, but equally breathtaking.
“The witchcraft from the wizard tower mostly originated from a basic witchcraft called the Body Modification Technique. Therefore, we do not take basic witchcraft lightly, as it was these things that built the basis for the higher levels we have attained ever since!” Wendy said.
She then added, “What I am demonstrating now is the basics of alchemy, known as the Hand of the Wizard. This is also one of the most basic witchcraft techniques, and it is essential for the study of alchemy!”
Wendy’s voice spread across the great hall, while the elves in white robes listened to her carefully. Sylr, a language that was very different from human languages, echoed within everyone’s ears.
There were not many wizards within the Corolla Tower. In fact, there were only about ten qualified wizards and a few apprentices present. The ones that were in the Corolla Tower now were mostly newcomers, and on top of that, a lot of them wouldn’t even be considered as wizard apprentices! Instead, they had come here to study music, architecture, art and literature from the human world.
“Look at the sky!”
“Something is dropping from the sky!”
“It is not dropping, but flying down!”
In the middle of Wendy’s lesson, the great hall suddenly became noisy, with many of the students talking at once. Wendy got very angry at first, but then she noticed that everyone was looking out of the window, and as she looked too, several big things with wings slowly descended from the clouds!
A giant iron castle, which had lowered down from the clouds, was slowly coming closer to the Corolla Tower. Meanwhile, everyone in the Corolla Tower walked outside and looked up to the sky.
They opened their mouths widely, as they had never seen anything like this before. It was far beyond their imaginations.
However, Wendy could see that, underneath the base of the castle, there was a silver mark that represented infinity and the wizard tower. After remembering the letter that she had sent earlier, Wendy knew right away who was controlling the giant iron castle.
“Alright, be quiet everyone! No need to panic. This is mechanical alchemy, a product of witchcraft from the wizard tower!” Wendy spoke very calmly to the other elves, her words immediately raising many comments from among them.
“The wizard tower? They were already able to build something this big in the sky?”
“Oh my God! If they can send a castle up into the sky, do they live in the sky as well?”
“Then, how are they any different from the gods?”
At that moment, Wendy might have seemed calm on the surface, but she was very shocked as well, as she thought, Oh my God, did the teacher actually drive that thing around half the world to get here?
Every elf was leaning their head to get a better look at the flying castle, which was getting bigger as it was getting closer. It then went in a circle around the tower.
As it flew, blue flames were constantly coming out from behind the castle. It then landed in some nearby grassland.
