Chapter 146: wizard tower

Seeing Byron looking somewhat dejected and listless, Isolde inwardly whispered, "Oh no."

The good news was that Byron's overconfidence had been eliminated, but the bad news was that it seemed his self-confidence had been eliminated along with it.

If his self-confidence was gone, he would be ruined.

Just as Isolde was about to speak up to comfort him, Byron spoke first.

"Mentor, I understand now. It seems I previously thought too lightly of achieving an outstanding result, actually wanting to complete it while still a Wizard Apprentice."

"But it doesn't matter. Since I couldn't complete this goal as a Wizard Apprentice, don't I still have two hundred years and a buffer period from a mandatory mission after becoming an Official Wizard?"

"With such a long time available for my research, it should be enough for me to produce an outstanding Rank research result."

Seeing the glow of self-confidence reappear on Byron's face as he said this, Isolde nodded in satisfaction.

This was the result she wanted: confident but not arrogant.

Isolde said, "With your intelligence and Aptitude, that many years is enough for you to obtain an outstanding research result."

Speaking of which, she suddenly changed the subject: "However, are you sure you want to trade an outstanding research result for that fifty-year work term?"

"Perhaps you don't yet know the importance of an outstanding research result. Come with me, and let me show you its weight."

As she spoke, Isolde stood up from the sofa and walked toward the back.

Seeing this, Byron hurriedly followed, trailing closely behind Isolde.

Isolde did not go upstairs, but instead stopped in front of the wall directly facing the door and lightly brushed her hand across the front of the wall.

The next moment, under Byron's gaze, the huge wall suddenly vanished into thin air, replaced by a square, silver-white rectangular space.

Seeing this, Byron's eyelids twitched.

If his eyes weren't deceiving him and he hadn't guessed wrong, this thing was definitely an elevator.

Just as Byron hesitated, Isolde had already stepped into the elevator.

Seeing that Byron was still standing there, Isolde waved at him slightly, signaling him to come in.

Byron snapped out of it and quickly walked inside.

The elevator doors closed, and the wall reappeared in its original place, as if everything that had just happened were an illusion.

Isolde assumed that Byron had stood still earlier because he had never seen such a thing before and was stunned, so she began to explain it to him.

"This thing, much like alchemy firearms, was discovered in a certain mechanical world. Wizards were initially puzzled when they first saw it."

"But after studying it for a while and figuring out its principles, we found this little gadget quite good. It doesn't consume as much mana as a teleportation array, nor does it take up as much space as a portal, making it very suitable for low-Rank wizards to use."

"So, after modifying it through alchemy, it became what you see now and began to spread throughout the Wizard World. I found it quite useful, so I installed one."

As she spoke, the elevator slowly descended. Byron noticed that the surroundings of the elevator were not silver-white metal, but transparent crystal.

This wasn't just an ordinary elevator; it was a sightseeing elevator.

Byron was puzzled. Why have a sightseeing elevator in a Laboratory? Was there something worth seeing?

As the elevator descended, vivid scenes appeared within Byron's line of sight, and he understood the purpose of this sightseeing elevator.

At this moment, through the transparent glass of the sightseeing elevator, layer upon layer of spacious floors, almost endless at a glance, continuously glided past Byron's vision.

Byron could even clearly see that within those layers of space, countless strange-looking creatures were either moving about, sitting like screws on either side of roaring assembly lines, or tearing their own bodies apart to turn into Materials to be thrown into pools of blood...

Each floor here was essentially a workshop, and the workers were, of course, the various creatures ceaselessly laboring within.

This was essentially hollowing out the entire Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy floating in the sky and turning it into these workshops!

He had still underestimated this group of wizards.

It was truly incredible!

No, something was extremely, twelve-fold wrong!

This layer-upon-layer architecture!

Thinking of this, a flash of lightning struck Byron's mind.

The next moment, Byron's eyes suddenly widened, and his heart surged with stormy waves.

He had discovered something he had always overlooked.

Didn't they say every Stigmata Wizard had their own wizard tower? But he had never seen the wizard tower of the Dark Erosion Stigmata.

A wizard tower is one of the most important things for every Stigmata Wizard.

It is not only a residence but also an energy collection station, a rule amplifier, an experimental base, and the final safeguard for wizards to explore the boundless worlds and the Void Realm.

It can help them provide a coordinate of the Wizard World when exploring the outside, so they do not get lost in the endless Void Realm.

As for the wizard tower of the Dark Erosion Stigmata, he hadn't seen it before and had originally thought it was taken away by the Dark Erosion Stigmata as a safeguard for conquering worlds.

But now, he understood.

So the wizard tower of the Dark Erosion Stigmata was actually the Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy he was usually standing on!

It seems he had fallen into an experience trap before, thinking that a wizard tower was truly just a tower!

He had never imagined that such a huge meteorite could also be a wizard tower!

If the wizard tower of the Dark Erosion Stigmata was like this, then what must the wizard towers of other Stigmata Wizards look like?!

He dared not think; he really dared not continue thinking about it.

However, whether this was truly the wizard tower of the Dark Erosion Stigmata was still just Byron's own guess and had not been confirmed.

Byron turned his head to look at Isolde standing beside him.

Before Byron could ask, Isolde seemed to know what he wanted to ask and nodded slightly.

"You are right. This entire Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy is the wizard tower of the Dark Erosion Stigmata."

Speaking of this, Isolde also added with emotion and yearning.

"Actually, Byron, do you know? Although the wizard tower of the Dark Erosion Stigmata far exceeds the wizard towers of the Ancient Wizards recorded in ancient books, it is not considered peculiar among the many current Stigmata Wizards."

"Do you know? I once saw a Stigmata Wizard who followed the path of a mechanical wizard; his wizard tower was a strange creature composed entirely of machinery."

"It usually stands quietly on the ground like a mountain range, but when that Stigmata Wizard needs it, it can stand up, transform into a giant mechanical Puppet, and walk upon the earth—truly a mountain giant!"

"I also once saw the wizard tower of a Stigmata Wizard who followed the Bloodline path; it looked like an island on the ocean, but it was actually a living creature modified by that Stigmata Wizard."

Afterward, Isolde told him about several other Stigmata Wizards' wizard towers, all of which were different, leaving Byron dazed and mesmerized.

But that wasn't the end. Finally, Isolde sighed with an indescribable tone and expression.

"However, the one that shocked me the most among them was the wizard tower of the great Twelve True Spirit Wizards."

"His wizard tower is a World Tree capable of propping up the world. Can you imagine that?!"
