Chapter 231: Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers

Chapter 231: Hidden Tiger, Coiled Dragon

Li Wei stepped into the manor.

A magic puppet resembling a butler approached to welcome the two.

Seeing the appearance of the magic puppet, Li Wei wore an expression of surprise.

"Is this a magic butler? Exactly the same as the one in the Mage Tower of Maple Leaf City."

Zogwarran smiled and said, "Of course. When Toresta built the Mage Tower, I was the one who went to help."

Li Wei paused for a moment. "Master, are you saying the Mage Tower was built by my teacher?"

Zogwarran seemed somewhat surprised. "Your teacher didn't tell you?"

Li Wei shook his head and said, "No. I thought the Mage Tower had existed for a long time."

Seeing this, Zogwarran did not say much more.

The magic butler smiled and said, "Master, the rooms have been cleaned."

Zogwarran nodded. "Hmm, take him there."

Looking at Li Wei, he said, "You go check the room first, then come to my study. I'll pick out some introductory books for you to read and supplement your foundation in magical knowledge."

"Hmm, thank you, Master Valen."

"No need to be polite."

The magic butler extended his hand and said, "Please follow me."

Li Wei followed the magic butler to a guest room, where a magic puppet resembling a maid walked out from inside.

The maid puppet bowed to Li Wei, then walked away.

Li Wei entered the room and found that all sorts of things were complete within it.

On one side stood a desk, and on the other lay a large bed.

A soft golden goose down quilt had already been spread upon the bed.

The room was filled with the fresh fragrance of calming incense.

An incense burner wafted curling green smoke.

Li Wei took his belongings out of the spatial ring and placed them in the room, considering himself checked in.

Then, under the guidance of the magic butler, he arrived at Zogwarran's study.

Beside the study was a spacious puppet factory occupying half the manor.

That was Zogwarran's laboratory.

Judging by the sight, he should be a magic puppeteer.

A magic puppeteer is one of the branches of mages.

Much like an illusionist among psychic mages.

Knock knock knock!

Li Wei knocked on the partially open study door.

"Master Valen."

"Come in, the door isn't closed."

A voice came from inside.

Hearing this, Li Wei simply pushed the door open and entered.

Zogwarran was drawing blueprints, with a large amount of crumpled drafts discarded beside him.

Seeing this, Li Wei asked, "I hope I'm not disturbing you?"

Zogwarran shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

"These books are all prepared for you, take them back to read."

He spoke while pointing at a pile of books lying on the floor.

Li Wei showed an expression of surprise; wasn't it said to be just a few basic magical theory books?

At a glance, there were at least thirty or forty books here, piled up like a small mountain.

Li Wei stored the books into his spatial ring.

"Thank you, Master Valen, then I won't disturb you further."

"Hmm."

Zogwarran was immersed in researching magic puppets.

Seeing this, Li Wei exited the room and closed the door for him.

The magic butler said, "The master is always like this, do not mind it."

Li Wei looked at him with some surprise.

"You are more special than any magic puppet I have seen."

The magic butler smiled and said, "When the master created me, he added emotions for me."

"Truly amazing."

Li Wei exclaimed in admiration.

From this matter, he also roughly understood how high Zogwarran's attainment in magic puppets was.

Being able to create magic puppets possessing emotions is by no means an ordinary feat.

Li Wei returned to his room, thinking about the next step.

"First, I must find out where the nearest Temple of Light is?"

He went directly to find the magic butler.

"Where is the nearest Temple of Light?"

The magic butler replied, "I do not know. If you need a map, you can go to the Saint Vilia Library of the Mage Tower."

Li Wei nodded.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Li Wei arrived at the Saint Vilia Library of the Mage Tower.

To enter the library, one must possess the identity of a formal student of the Elemental Tower.

Li Wei had not yet reported to the Crimson Class.

Seeing this situation, he could only go to the Crimson Class first.

"Hello, may I ask how to get to the Second Year Crimson Class?"

Li Wei asked a passerby.

The passerby mage, hearing this, pointed to the corner of the Mage Tower and said, "The Crimson Class is in that corner, the second year is on the second floor."

“Thank you.”

“You are welcome.”

Upon approaching, Li Wei discovered seven-colored stars painted upon the wall here.

The stars were objects representing mage ranks.

The seven colors, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, represented seven tiers of magic classes.

The Red Class was at the very edge.

The Purple Class was at the center of the Mage Tower.

“Truly a clear hierarchy.”

Li Wei sighed with emotion and walked towards the Red Class.

The further back he went, the fewer people there were.

“What is going on? Is there no one here?”

Li Wei arrived at the door of the Second Year Red Class and found only a few people inside.

“Hello everyone, I am a new student.”

“A newcomer? Then you are truly unfortunate! To be assigned to the Red Class.”

Li Wei walked into the classroom and asked somewhat strangely, “Why is there no one here?”

Someone answered, “Those with connections have all found ways to sneak into other classes, so naturally, no one is here.”

“Where is the teacher?”

“Should still be sleeping.”

Li Wei: "..."

It felt quite different from what he imagined.

In his view, even the worst Red Class should gather a batch of the most talented mages.

It shouldn't be too bad.

After all, being able to enter the Element Tower meant already stepping through the threshold of a genius mage.

But this scene before him shattered Li Wei's imagination.

The Red Class teacher also seemed unreliable.

The sun is already high overhead, why is he still sleeping?

“Hah~”

A man walked in, still yawning, eyes sleepy and blurred.

He rubbed his eyes and picked away the crusted sleep.

“Are you a freshman?”

Li Wei nodded, “Yeah, are you the teacher?”

“That's right, I am the substitute teacher for this year's Second Year Red Class.”

“Study on your own, ask me if you don't understand something, I'll sleep a bit more.”

Having said that, the man walked directly to a lounge chair on the side, lay down, and snored heavily.

Li Wei was rendered speechless.

He woke up the teacher who fell asleep as soon as he lay down, took out his magic badge and said, “Teacher, my magic badge has not been authenticated yet.”

Hearing this, the teacher remembered this matter.

“Oh oh, give me the magic badge, I'll handle it for you.”

Li Wei handed the magic badge to him.

The teacher took the magic badge, and blue light lit up in his palm.

After a while, he handed the magic badge back to Li Wei.

“Alright, don't disturb my sleep unless it's necessary.”

Li Wei took the magic badge and showed a trace of surprise.

The badge of the Maple City Mage Tower on the front of the magic badge had been replaced with the badge of the Element Tower.

He couldn't help but look deeply at the teacher who was sleeping in late.

This person is definitely not simple.

Inside the Element Tower, there truly hides tigers and dragons.

Modifying the pattern of a magic badge is not a simple matter.

The material of the magic badge is special, extremely high magic resistance, extremely high physical resistance.

Even the Maple City Mage Tower needs special means to carve magic badges.

This person just swiped casually and could change the shape of the magic badge, his power was astonishing.
