“Marina, you are more adventurous than most men. Go and see how big the world is. This was also my childhood dream. After seeing it, come back and tell me all about it,” Akkad said.

Akkad then took out the original tall tower badge that Anthony had given him. He told Marina that by crushing the badge, she could be sent back to the tower through a teleport matrix. Although Marina did not understand the preciousness of the badge, she did know that it was definitely not an ordinary thing.

“It’s not as precious as you might imagine. In a dangerous situation, the enemy will not give you the chance to open the teleport matrix, so once you face a moment of life and death, it is actually of no use.” The old Akkad appeared very calm when he said this.

Marina then took Gina and Salita with her and started her journey. It was a nice, sunny day, which seemed like a good omen.

Marina’s ship, the Legendary Adventurer, was a beautiful ship that had ten alchemy cannons on it. After hearing about Marina’s plan, Garnett, who had many years of sailing experience, demanded to join her. Thus, she made him the chief mate.

Salita was a trainer of the mermaid family, who was famous for taming a giant squid on the sea. So, led by the squid, the ship headed all the way to the Swirl Continent.

They encountered a variety of difficulties along the way. In particular, there were many storms, as well as some encounters with demons and monsters who were not afraid of the Sakun bloodline.

On one occasion, they encountered some hawk-shaped banshees whose sonic attacks were too lethal for ordinary lifeforms to survive. Plus, since they were flying in the sky, they could not be attacked by the alchemy cannons. Utilizing its firearms, the crew of the Legendary Adventurer finally inflicted devastating damage on the banshees.

But, the most dangerous part of the journey was when they were passing through a misty area. They were trapped in the fog and could not see the sky! They stayed trapped like this for nearly a month.

In the mist, someone was constantly singing strange songs. They also encountered wrecks, dead people, and even the deceased’s relatives!

In this bizarre mist, everyone and everything was on the verge of collapsing. It wasn’t until years later that Marina realized that what she had heard was the voice of a monster named Ecstasy.

They also encountered social monsters that looked like jellyfish and could float in the air. Where they lived, a haze spread out. Their individual abilities were not strong, but the great illusion-making ability of their groups could easily take many people’s lives at once.

Finally, with Gina’s help, they were able to escape the mist. After leaving the grey mist, that experience of not seeing the sky for so long became a terrible memory for everyone.

As Gina was of pure Sakun blood, she was unlike most mermaids, who were only part Sakun. Gina not only had the ability to affect temperatures, but she could also could control the mind power of others.

The Legendary Adventurer finally arrived on the Swirl Continent, which was the home of the mermaid family. In fact, humans had never even set foot on the Mermaid Kingdom before. This kingdom had beautiful mermaids, as well as the ugly Koutao sahagins.

The sailors saw from the ship saw a variety of exotic creatures, architecture, and customs that were very different from the human world. There were also huge ocean-like continental lakes and a big city named Alada.

The sailors sent back the princess of the Mermaid Kingdom, accepted the mermaids’ praises, and received all kinds of marine gems and black pearls in exchange for their goods and books from the human world.

Gina and Salita, who had just returned from the human world, had learned what a country with a perfect system should be like. So, after broadening their horizons, they were able to bring opportunities for change to the Mermaid Kingdom.

The Koutao sahagins began to integrate into the mermaid family, and Gina learned how to govern the country with her mother, Queen Sally. Marina then drove her Legendary Adventurer to the Yala Continent using the map that Akkad had given her.

Salita gave Marina a trumpet and the female giant squid named Koukou, then told her how to tame it. After this, Gina sent Marina away.

Marina stood on the ship’s deck, waving her hands and shouting goodbye. She then disappeared in the distance.

Gina had always known that this separation was inevitable. After all, this was her home and Marina did not belong here.

But, in her search for the Yala Continent, dangers along the road far exceeded Marina’s imagination. This route to the Yala Continent was in a warm sea area, and for the first time, Marina was attacked by the Children of the Sea! These giant starfish emitted hot steam that almost burned them. Koukou also suffered a terrible defeat in its battle with them.

Finally, the whole ship was dragged deeper into the sea by the starfish. Marina could only save everyone by having them lie on Koukou and ride the creature to a nearby island. There, Marina used alchemy to build a new ship named World Conqueror.

They finally arrived at the Yala Continent on this new ship, where they immediately met the moonlight elves. After battling through a series of conflicts with them, Marina arrived at the Corolla Tower in the Forest of Life.

There, they saw beautiful elves playing harps and huge trees of life. There were also beautiful and exquisite buildings, the magnificent Sylve city, magnificent wetland forests, the Hagrid Grand Canyon, and the fascinating White Castle Spring! This place was like heaven!

As they were standing in front of Corolla Tower, everyone was shocked and speechless. It was as if they were in a fairytale world.

Moreover, the numerous elves who were dressed in loose white clothes looked like angels coming down from the sky! The Corolla Tower also had a great learning atmosphere, as well as delicious food and beautiful houses.

Upon her arrival, Marina met with Wolfe and Wendy, the deans and vice-deans of Corolla Tower Academy. They were also students of the Great Wise Anthony, just like her mentor, Akkad. As the first generation of wizards, they were also former wizard tower mentors.

Marina saw all kinds of strange witchcraft, dreamcraft, and Blood Witchcraft here. All of these things she had only heard about from Akkad.

She was immersed in this sea of knowledge. She was very impressed that the elves had even more profound knowledge than she had imagined.

Marina’s knowledge of alchemy, the alchemy table, and the mechanical doll Archimonde caused a great sensation within the Corolla Tower. Her crew stayed here for nearly half a year.

Once they left, the journey home was much smoother than Marina had imagined. The ship from the wizard tower arrived in Yala, and some students from the Corolla Tower chose to enter the wizard tower for further study, as according to Wolf and Wendy’s words, the wizard tower was the real wizard’s holy place of origin.

There were several senior wizards from the wizard tower on the ship. Along the way, Marina saw a fierce attack of Blood Witchcraft and dreamcraft. During the attack, many ordinary monsters died. Even the Children of the Sea fled under the siege of the senior wizards!

They then arrived smoothly on the Black Forest Coast of the Kingdom of Rosa d’Oro. Marina then departed the ship and rode a railcar in the darkness. She was heading to the tower.

Once she was in the tower, she finally saw the holy place of the wizard. Everything here was beyond her imagination.

All kinds of witchcraft had permeated every aspect of life! She saw the jackdaw postman, the witchcraft communication badge, the transformation of biological slaves, projections for teaching in dreams, magical beast pets and so on. Even various wizard towers played different roles in this societal system! She even saw various magical beasts flying in the sky!

In the Black Forest, there were a huge garden where magical beasts grew, and there were also huge libraries that had Sphinx librarians! She even saw a legendary Titan Dragon guarding the tower.

It was a huge red dragon, and after taking just one look at it, Marina made felt terribly frightened. It was definitely the most horrible creature she had ever seen!

Even though Edward Kelermo, who was the fourth generation wizard tower master, had inherited the integrity of his teacher and adoptive father, Bohr Kelermo, he was still different in many ways. He grew up in the wizard tower, so the only beings that he ever met were wizards. This caused him to teach in different ways.

As such, Marina learned a vast amount of knowledge and received many gifts from Edward Kelermo, the tall tower master, and many mentors here. Her teacher Akkad’s identity as the owner of the third generation tower owner had provided a great deal of convenience for her.

During her time here, Marina successfully transplanted the bloodline of a magical beast called the fossil horn rhinoceros. The fossil horn rhinoceros was a result of bloodline abnormalities that occurred when wizards cultivated magical beasts.

As such, it could only recast things, but for Marina and the alchemists, this ability was valuable, similar to that of an artifact. Although it could not directly change the essence of substances, it was easy for alchemists to make various kinds of alchemy instruments via its means of recasting.

Using its ability, an alchemist could easily turn sand into glass, clay into rock, pig iron into various alloys and so on. This had brought about unimaginable breakthroughs for alchemists, enabling them to analyze substances and to manufacture and explore various kinds of alchemy tools.

Less than a month after her stay at the wizard tower, Marina returned to the World Conqueror and embarked on her journey home. It took her nearly four years to complete the voyage and return to the Sean City State Alliance.
