"Chalk City, Chalk Tower." Diana tapped the table unconsciously with her fingertips, her tone tinged with a touch of melancholy.
"The Wizard Tower, the largest and most established in the alliance, consistently ranks among the top three in two events. It's no exaggeration to call them the leader of the alliance."
Carlos interjected, "The distance from Lelita to Chalk City is six days by ordinary airship. But with the speed of this workshop—it should be faster." He looked at Leon, his eyes questioning.
Li Ang nodded: "If we proceed at full speed, we can arrive within two days."
"Having plenty of time is a good thing." Dina picked up her teacup and took a sip. "Our goal for this trip is very challenging: to get at least second place in one of the two events, or third place in both."
She explained the rules in detail: "Each tower has a base of five seats in the Alliance Council. The first, second, and third place winners in the competition will receive an additional ten, six, and three seats respectively. These seats play a crucial role in the election of the chairperson of the 'Great Cataclysm Response Committee' after the competition. Based on our previous analysis of the vote count, if we can secure three additional seats for Leylitah on this trip—ensuring Leon becomes the chairperson—then the deal is practically settled."
There was a moment of silence in the living room. Olivia whispered, "Mom—Professor—why don't we try to be number one?"
"First place?" Diana chuckled and shook her head. "Olivia, you're too confident. Not that I'm being arrogant, but first place has always been a sure thing for the White Tower, especially in friendly matches. Getting second place is already a very good result."
Her expression suddenly dimmed, and her voice lowered: "In previous years, for these kinds of events, it was usually me and that old guy Gorman who would compete together, while Celonst would stay inside the tower. This year, the original plan was for the old guy to stay behind while Celonst and I went out—but I didn't expect that he ultimately couldn't make it."
The atmosphere immediately became a little heavy when the Gorman faction leader was mentioned.
Carlos sighed deeply, his face showing pain and self-reproach: "As the head of the Potions School, I couldn't come up with a suitable potion to save him. I really—have let my old friend down."
Seeing the atmosphere become somewhat tense, Li Ang spoke up at the right moment, steer the conversation to a more practical topic: "Professor Diana, who were some of the tough opponents in previous friendly matches?"
Diana composed herself, pondered for a moment, and began to list: "The contestants are all top-tier fighters from their respective towers. Among them, the one who has consistently held the top spot for many years is the [Giant God] Makarov from the Chalk Tower. He specializes in a variant of transformation magic, giant magic. When he uses his full power, he can transform into a hundred-meter-tall giant, capable of shaking mountains and the earth. He is currently recognized as the wizard who is closest to the legendary realm."
"The second place regular is Icarus of the Heavenly Abyss Tower, whose ice magic has reached perfection and is said to be able to freeze a hundred miles of lakes and marshes in an instant."
"The third place position changes quite a bit." Diana looked at everyone, "For example, in recent years, I've been the third place winner."
She spoke calmly, but the pride of a dragon was still faintly visible between her brows.
Maya listened intently and couldn't help but interject, "Professor, don't you have titles like theirs? I saw that the two you just mentioned have very impressive nicknames."
Diana smiled and explained, "A 'title' is a title bestowed by the Alliance upon those who have reached the level of a fifth-level wizard and have recognized outstanding achievements or unique combat techniques in a particular field. As for me—I only managed to gain some advantage in actual combat and get a few third-place finishes by sheer luck, largely due to the physical advantages of being a dragon. In reality, I'm still quite far from being a true fifth-level wizard." Her tone was frank and undisguised.
After the discussion, the journey continued smoothly and swiftly. The workshop traversed the sea of clouds, as no demon could fly to such a height. So, some people rested, some made final preparations, and some, like Li Ang, raced against time to enter their rooms to consolidate their cultivation.
Two days later, on the horizon at the edge of the field of vision, the outline of an incredibly magnificent white city gradually became clear.
We've arrived at Baike City.
As Dinah said, Chalk City was far larger than Riley City, estimated to be about three times its size. And in the city center, the five towering, pure white towers arranged in a pentagram, reaching into the clouds, were truly awe-inspiring.
Light subtly flowed between the five towers, forming a vast and complex magic circle, with a huge floating platform at its center, resembling a divine miracle.
"My God—" Harris leaned against the porthole, his eyes wide behind his glasses. "This—this is the White Chalk Tower? There are five towers—how many people are there?"
Maya stood on tiptoe, her emerald eyes filled with amazement: "It's huge! Even more magnificent than Riley City!"
Since Li Ang's floating workshop was not registered with the airport identification system in White Cretaceous City, approaching it rashly might trigger the defense mechanism, so the workshop did not directly enter the city.
Diana offered to go and negotiate. She walked into the courtyard, her body surging with red light, her figure changing, and dragon wings unfolding on her back, transforming her into a half-dragon, half-human form. She then nodded to Li Ang, took off into the air, and transformed into a streak of red light, shooting towards the direction of White Cretaceous City.
About half an hour later, the law enforcement team badge Li Ang was wearing vibrated slightly, and Diana's voice came through it: "The formalities are complete, and the airport guidance signal has been sent to your badge. Follow the instructions to land."
"Received," Li Ang replied, then controlled the workshop to smoothly head towards the coordinates transmitted from the badge.
The closer you get, the more you can feel the grandeur and strict order of the White Chalk City. Various flying machines or wizards riding brooms and magic carpets shuttle through the air from time to time. The streets on the ground are crisscrossed like a chessboard, and are planned in an orderly manner.
Guided by several white-robed wizards from the White Tower, the floating workshop slowly descended into the designated airport area.
More than ten airships and gunboats of various shapes and sizes are moored here. Some are ornately decorated, while others are simple and unadorned, but all of them exude a powerful magical aura.
As Li Ang and his group stepped down from the workshop, they saw a somewhat familiar figure disembarking from an airship not far away.
With long silver hair and blue eyes, it was Elena of Obsidian Tower.
Li Ang asked his teammates to wait a moment and then stepped forward.
"Long time no see, Elena."
The girl, who had just stepped off the airship, looked up at the sound and saw Li Ang. A look of obvious surprise immediately appeared on her face: "Li Ang? It's you?" Her gaze quickly swept over the dark blue wizard's robe Li Ang was wearing, and her surprise deepened. "You—you're already level three?"
"Just lucky," Li Ang smiled, then asked, "Are you here to watch the game?"
"I suppose so," Elena nodded, her tone as straightforward as ever. "I was brought here by my mentor to broaden my horizons and familiarize myself with the clashes at the top level of the alliance." She glanced at the group of companions with diverse auras not far behind Li Ang and asked with some curiosity:
