Journey to the Wizarding World

Chapter 153 Lightning City

"That's right, that's exactly the case." Enzo didn't deny it, but admitted it generously.

Isaac nodded slightly, and said, "In this case, then you come with me. It just so happens that my patrol is over, and now I plan to return to Leiguang City. Taking this opportunity, I just introduce the responsibilities of the garrison mission."

After all, Isaac turned and walked forward.

Naturally, Enzo would not object, and followed up graciously.

The two walked out of the forest side by side, and Dias followed closely behind. It was not far from Lightning City, so it took only half an hour for the two to arrive at the north gate of Lightning City.

"The Kingdom of Layton has always been the territory of our Kendi family."

"Although Leiguang City is located in a special environment, it is also within the family's sphere of influence. Currently, there are three official wizards stationed in the city. Among them, Ulysses Kendy, the first-order wizard with the most authority, is my uncle."

While walking towards the city, Isaac introduced a few words from time to time.

The guards guarding the gate of the city knelt down on one knee and saluted after seeing Isaac, which showed that the Kendy family had a high status in the Kingdom of Layton, just like the secular royal family.

After entering Thunder City, Enzo looked around.

This place is indeed a large town controlled by three wizards. The wide cross-shaped street runs from north to south, surrounded by various strange buildings, and there are prosperous shops on both sides of the road, and horse-drawn carriages pass by from time to time.

But looking forward, there are three tall towers standing in the center of Lei Guang City.

Each tower represents a wizard. The heights of the three towers are almost the same, but they all exceed 200 meters. A wave of magic power was vaguely emitted, spreading towards all directions of Leiguang City.

"What's that?" Enzo frowned suddenly as he glanced over the three towers.

In the center of the top of the three towers, there is a sphere like a huge eyeball, which is constantly rotating. It monitors every move of the entire Leiguang City, and from time to time, it projects gray rays of light.

"You mean that? Oh, it's the Eye of Twilight!"

Following the direction Enzo was looking at, Isaac explained, "It's a special magical item, which is said to have a history of hundreds of years. It was hung over the city when Lei Guang City was first established. Uncle Lisis said that the Eye of Twilight can monitor the entire Thunder City, and even the surrounding area, and if there is any abnormality anywhere, the tower will know immediately."

"So that's the case." Enzo nodded slightly, and asked again, "Does something abnormal happen in Leiguang City?"

"In recent years, there have been very few abnormal incidents in Leiguang City." Isaac shook his head, and continued, "But the Dark Forest is not safe. Those mice hiding underground often come out to make trouble!"

"A mouse hiding underground?" Enzo frowned.

"A group of depraved people who violated the wizard's sacred scriptures established a nightfall city underground in the dark forest. Occasionally, they would come to the surface to plunder cultivation resources, but every time they would be crushed by Thunder City." Isaac spread out palm, with a disdainful expression on his face.

Enzo's eyes moved, and he searched for information about the dark forest in his heart.

The dark forest located in the south of Leiguang City is a black area that has been shrouded in shadow for a long time. It is said that in the second era of ancient times, when the gods ruled the world, there once occupied a huge ancient kingdom, known by the world as 'El' South'.

The kingdom of Essos believed in the goddess of the night, and its royal family claimed to be the descendants of the goddess. During the second era, they followed the oracle of the goddess of the night to fight against the demons of the abyss, but they were eventually annihilated in the long river of history. The Goddess of the Night was nowhere to be found, and the Dark Forest fell into silence.

It was not until many years later, with the end of the age of the gods and the rise of wizard civilization, that the dark forest was set foot by humans again.

Some fallen people who violated the wizard's scripture fled into the dark forest to avoid being hunted down. Because of the special environment here, it is shrouded in shadow for many years, so it is very suitable for the survival of fallen wizards, so it also attracts more fallen wizards. Gradually formed a gathering place for fallen wizards.

In the beginning, the Phantom of Crows simply sent a squad of wizards to hunt down the fallen wizards.

But when they were exploring the dark forest, they accidentally discovered that this forest is rich in a rare plant called fluorescent mushroom, which can help wizards meditate, so the phantom of the crows immediately established the Thunder City next to the dark forest. It is also guarded by three wizards who are responsible for the collection of fluorescent mushrooms.

"The fallen wizards hiding under the dark forest are not worth mentioning, but they need to be cleaned up every once in a while, otherwise they will flood and affect the collection of fluorescent mushrooms. They are as annoying as mice." Isaac said with a look on his face. disgust.

The main purpose of Leiguang City's existence is to collect fluorescent mushrooms in the dark forest.

Although this work does not require wizards to do it themselves, they need them to maintain order. Otherwise, when those mortals enter the dark forest for collection work, various situations will appear.

After all, the Gloomy Forest is not a safe zone. Apart from fallen wizards, it is also full of dangers!

"So, the task of guarding Thunder City is to clean up the fallen wizards in the dark forest?" Enzo asked.

"This is just one of the tasks of the garrison mission." Isaac nodded slightly, and said, "Strictly speaking, any matter that may affect the collection of fluorescent mushrooms is within the scope of our handling."

Enzo nodded slightly, understanding the essence of the garrison mission.

Afterwards, the two continued to walk on the streets of Leiguang City, and they came to an area unknowingly.

"According to the previous rules, every apprentice who receives a garrison mission, the first thing he needs to do when he arrives in Lightning City, is to go to the tower to report, identify himself to Uncle Ulysses, and show the mission certificate."

Isaac stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Enzo, and said, "But recently, Uncle Ulysses is practicing in seclusion, so you don't have to go to the tower to report, I will prove your identity for you."

"Then I would like to thank Senior Isaac." Enzo nodded his thanks.

"I just arrived in Lightning City, so I don't know what you need?" Isaac asked again.

"If it's convenient, I'd like to find a place to live first." After hesitating for a moment, Enzo said, "The time limit for the garrison mission is three years. I have to live in Leiguang City for a while. Living in a hotel is not an option."

"Abode? This is no problem." Isaac nodded and said, "I can help you find a manor in Leiguang City, but do you have any specific requirements for the residence?"
