SORCERER: I WANT TO BE AN ACADEMIC PRODIGY

Chapter 491: Chapter 489: Supreme Council

“What a majestic city, just looking at it from afar takes one’s breath away.”

“It is said that unofficial sorcerers are not qualified to enter the inner city. If they stay too long, various deformities occur, and eventually, their flesh will crumble and they will die.”

“No wonder it’s the heartland of the sorcerer world, it’s daunting even before one enters.”

The inner city is walled, with walls towering like mountain ranges, and each peak represents a sorcerer tower, guarded by the towers on the wall.

The entire wall is made from some kind of alloy.

It not only looks seamless but is also covered with various patterns and designs which, at a glance, look like pages from an ancient illustrated tome about legendary creatures.

…

The creatures in the tome seemed alive, each displaying its unique charm.

This never failed to make first-time visitors marvel, making their desire to enter the inner city even more urgent.

As one of the five Great Sages of the sorcerer world, Hardy Charosi naturally commanded great respect here, and so did his airship, which passed directly through the huge walls without any need for entry procedures.

“Isn’t it strange, no monitoring or registration needed? You’ll understand in a moment.”

On the deck, Morris said to Ivan standing beside him.

Sure enough, once the airship entered the inner city, the atmosphere felt different, filled with a peculiar high-energy field everywhere.

Ivan could clearly see, this high-energy field automatically attracted the invisible force fields released by sorcerers, albeit with no malice or adverse effects.

“The sorcerer’s constantly released force fields are taken in and then merged together, creating the peculiar high-energy field of the inner city. The moment we sorcerers arrive in the inner city, it’s as if we’re registering our identities, and our individual identities are automatically recorded.”

“Is that so, and what about non-sorcerers?”

“It records either the aura of the soul or the life force, I’m not clear about that. Also, don’t think all airships don’t need to register, on the contrary, most do—”

Morris, who was quite influential in the inner city, explained thoroughly.

Most airships need to register because it saves energy and increases efficiency, and manually collecting identity information is more convenient.

Ivan guessed that this automatic registration must have a capacity limit and is not suitable for large-scale implementation.

It’s because of this strong high-energy field that unofficial sorcerers cannot enter the inner city, as their bodies can’t withstand the negative effects of the field.

“Do you know? Whether a Great Sage or a great scholar, they have unusual significance here.”

“Oh?”

“Generally, the nomination of great scholars from other places usually brings dissent, but your title as the Great Scholar from the East Capital hardly brings any. After all, who doesn’t have a few apprentices, owing you a favor naturally means no one speaks ill.”

After entering the inner city, the airship slowed down considerably.

While they were talking, Tanaya, who hadn’t appeared in days, showed up next to Ivan, and Morris stopped his introduction upon seeing this.

“Sorcerer Ivan, once we’re near the Peak of Truth, I will go to meet the Wind Ancestor. Would you like to join me?” Tanaya whispered.

“You may do as you please,” Ivan shook his head.

“Alright, then. Once I have definite news, we’ll come and find you,” Tanaya didn’t insist, and after speaking, she turned and left.

Their cold attitude surprised Morris, who was watching.

“What’s going on with you two?”

“It’s nothing.”

Ivan was actually somewhat puzzled. Ever since he had spoken those words that day, Tanaya had been reluctant to interact with him.

He didn’t really mind, as Tanaya was not the kind of person to make empty promises. With more time spent together, everything would become clear, so there was no need to rush to conclusions.

“You’d believe that,” Morris naturally did not believe him.

“Are you planning to come with us to East Capital?” Ivan changed the subject.

“Of course, don’t even think about leaving me, Morris,” Morris exclaimed, grabbing Ivan’s arm to show his determination.

“Suit yourself, but you’ll need to ask President Hardy’s permission to board the convenient ship.”

“It’s settled then.”

Seeing that he had not refused, Morris let go of his hand and laughed cheerfully.

Morris had put a lot of effort into the Knight’s Path, fearing that he would fall behind Tanaya too much and miss the opportunity to ‘pick up what was left behind.’

He thought it through clearly. Even if there were no chances of inheritance this time, once their powers increased and they became arcane, he would still have a chance to acquire the true teachings from them.

Therefore, he naturally would not give up on the Knight’s Path.

The airship moved forward slowly, and after a long while, a proud, solitary mountain peak came into view, appearing bald with barely any vegetation visible.

Upon getting closer, the distinct edges of the mountain became visible, and atop its peak, amidst the clouds, stood a Floating City.

“That is the Peak of Truth, which actually has nine facets, with three rings of residences at the mountain’s waist.”

“The city atop the Peak of Truth is the widely renowned Supreme Council.”

“See the lowest ring of residences at the base of the Peak of Truth? That layer is often called ‘the Court of the Great Scholars.’ You haven’t been here before and didn’t know, but there’s actually a residence belonging to you there. That’s the prestige of a Great Scholar.”

On the deck, Morris eagerly pointed out the Peak of Truth, his explanation ending on the lowest ring band along the waist of the mountain, where residences for people were established.

“It’s so bare there; wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to live?”

Locke came over, his eyes brightening upon hearing this but then showing some disappointment.

“Hehe, what do you think?” Morris chuckled.

“Don’t be silly; it’s not as simple as it looks on the surface,” Ivan said lightly, suspecting that what was seen from outside was fake.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go find—what’s that person’s name for a place right away.” Locke hastily said.

“It’s temporarily of no use; why don’t you stay here permanently?”

“Forget it, it’s just a place; we have our own in East Capital too, after all. More really isn’t necessary, hehe.”

Locke’s response was so agile and smooth that Morris, standing beside him, couldn’t help but laugh. However, he thought of a certain Secret Technique and found it hard to smile.

To be honest, that “One Body Multiple Manifestations” Secret Technique was truly annoying.

He had spent a lot of time and effort on it only to grasp something that seemed right but wasn’t; he had never been able to truly understand its essence, as if a shining reminder of something: his overall sorcerer qualifications were limited.

Wasn’t this bullying the honest people?

That was exactly why he was increasingly focusing on the Knight’s Path.

As the airship approached the Peak of Truth, it slowed even further. Gerry, Tanaya, and others disembarked from the airship ahead of everyone else, seeking an audience with the King of the Long Sky to determine the outcome of their venture.
