Harbor City.

It was Duke's second time visiting this city, and it was still as lively and bustling as before, with countless Wizards indulging their desires here.

He headed straight to the dirigible port of Harbor City, conveniently located on the mountain where he had previously practiced Astrology.

The dirigible port had a spacious area, with airships landing and taking off periodically.

Most of these airships were equipped with Sound Insulation Magic, so despite the frequent landings and departures, they didn't create much noise, allowing the residents of Harbor City to remain undisturbed.

Since the East Coast belonged to the Seville Empire, unrestricted entry was prohibited, requiring entry through designated checkpoints.

If found entering secretly from other locations, the consequence could be as mild as deportation or as severe as being detained pending negotiation.

Duke naturally entered through official means, purchasing a dirigible ticket to Torch City, which cost over three hundred Level 1 Magic Stones.

The journey from Harbor City to Torch City was quite distant, requiring five days even by Floating Airship.

Using the Teleportation Array would allow instant arrival, but the cost would be several thousand Magic Stones, and it might not activate immediately.

Since activating the Teleportation Array consumed substantial energy, it usually required gathering a certain number of people for simultaneous transportation.

If one wished to use the Teleportation Array alone, they would have to bear all the costs, which was quite substantial.

Duke was not in a hurry; even with over two hundred thousand Magic Stones at his disposal, he didn't spend lavishly.

This was all earned with risk from the Beastman Plane, and spending it would be heart-wrenching.

After waiting at the dirigible port for two hours, the Floating Airship for his service arrived. After checking his ticket, he boarded the airship and headed to the third layer above the deck, where his room was located.

The accommodations in the Floating Airship were quite satisfactory, differing in size and service based on the price.

Duke opted for a moderately high-tier room, which used Space Magic, providing around one hundred and fifty square meters inside, spacious even for one person.

He had contacted Vivian, but she was currently at a crucial moment, striving for a promotion to become an Official Wizard, leaving little leisure time for outings.

Thus, Duke embarked on his journey to the East Coast alone, unburdened by any tasks or responsibilities.

Black Sail had regular assessments for Wizard Apprentices, but nearly no restrictions for Official Wizards.

Even if Duke decided never to return to Black Sail, he would face no interference.

Late at night, the Floating Airship silently drifted through the clouds, seemingly chasing the moon ahead.

Lying on the spacious bed in his room, Duke quietly meditated, hoping to max out his Meditation Technique progress quickly.

The Meditation Technique progress always advanced slowly, requiring extensive experience to level up, making it difficult to max out short-term.

Curious, Duke wondered what rewards awaited after maxing the Meditation Technique.

Simultaneously with his meditation, he manipulated the yellow sand to swirl around without damaging anything in the room, solely aiming to improve his Sand Guardian proficiency.

...

At noon the next day, Duke went to the restaurant on the Floating Airship to eat.

The restaurant was large and spacious, occupying an entire floor.

The restaurant offered a wide range of food and beverages, allowing anyone with enough Magic Stones to enjoy rare and delicious ingredients.

When Duke arrived, many Wizards were dining and chatting in the restaurant.

However, due to the restaurant's vastness, the people were scattered, making it appear somewhat empty.

"Honorable sir, what would you like to eat?"

As Duke walked in, a young alien girl with cat ears approached him proactively to serve.

This Cat Race girl, apart from some distinct alien features in appearance, resembled human girls, with a slender white waist and excellent figure.

There were many such alien girls on the Floating Airship, all categorized as slave creatures, performing servant tasks here.

Servants like Cat Girls often offered additional services, and with expressed desires and sufficient Magic Stones, they could be taken to personal rooms after their shifts.

Such occurrences were common on the airship and well-known to everyone.

The Cat Girl perceived a subtle aura from Duke, suggesting he was likely an Official Wizard.

She deduced from Duke's cloak that this Wizard's status was not simple; the cloak appeared expensive.

As the Cat Girl approached Duke, she intentionally bowed lower, revealing her cleavage.

Duke did not waste the opportunity, gazing indulgently at her unique allure.

Under the Cat Girl's guidance, Duke arrived at a table by the window, took the menu, ordered food, spending over a hundred Magic Stones, and casually tipped the Cat Girl five Magic Stones.

Not only on the Floating Airship, but tipping was also a common practice across the West Coast or the Wizard Plane, and Duke was not stingy.

The Cat Girl gratefully bowed, exaggeratedly highlighting her figure upon receiving the tip.

Seeing the Cat Girl linger and seemingly wanting to speak, Duke waved his hand to indicate no further service was needed.

The Cat Girl, feeling disappointed, left without daring to stay.

Many alien girls on the airship sought to earn extra money, but more importantly, they hoped to leave.

As slave creatures, they were forbidden to depart freely without a master's permission.

Being favored by other Wizards could result in being purchased and taken away, albeit uncertain outcomes awaited.

From the perspective of these alien girls, anything seemed preferable to remaining, as they longed to escape instead of serving eternally.

Ultimately, they couldn't avoid the identity of slave creatures, merely changing location after being purchased.

Duke watched the Cat Girl walk away, her hips swaying charmingly, while pondering.

He indeed needed a batch of slave creatures, for many tasks on the Deserted Island.

Originally planning to buy slave creatures later, he found these Cat Girls suitable, possessing longer lifespans and stronger physiques than regular humans, along with basic casting abilities.

Moreover, the Cat Girls were visually pleasing, enhancing their role as daily assistants and servants.
