Chapter 331 -328: The Smile Instantly Solidifies

Tang Yu had harvested the tower owner’s residence thoroughly, and his Space Ring was already filled with many valuable items.

He regretted not bringing more Space Backpacks when he left the house… The Space Ring of the Red Moon, which she owned, was even smaller than his and couldn’t hold much.

“Fooled by Zuofo’s poverty.”

“Perhaps the Thieves are poor, in contrast, Mages really do need Consuming Crystals to operate… After all, what kind of Spells can you cast without money?”

Ryan, the bald Mage, deserved his reputation, for Tang Yu found an enormous collection of books in the tower and couldn’t figure out how it was possible to have read them all.

Fortunately, Ryan had organized these books neatly. Tang Yu skipped over the ‘novel biographies,’ ‘customs and landscapes,’ ‘human art,’ and other such categories, and went straight for those with real high value.

Spellbooks, schematics, research notes.

Eileen had climbed the path to becoming a Mage with a single worn Magic Book. While not as numerous as other miscellaneous books, Ryan’s collection related to Mages had hundreds of volumes.

Ninety percent of them were basic and common, but nearly ten percent were substantial and insightful. Tang Yu flipped through a few pages, his eyes gleaming as he felt a step closer to becoming an elegant Mage.

There were even more schematics—over two hundred types… Those Tang Yu got from the market, combined with Kevin’s developed schematics, totaled only thirty-four.

He couldn’t compare in quantity.

But like Spellbooks, most of the schematics were very basic and simple, many not for weapons but for small gadgets like glowing Crystal Balls and self-righting walking sticks… Many were even no-rune Equipment, simpler than the basic rune Longsword in both grade and difficulty to produce.

Tang Yu didn’t look down on them.

These common gadgets weren’t difficult to develop but still required time, and during the apocalypse, time was the most scarce resource.

In the schematics, actual combat Equipment was actually less common. This was opposite to Kevin, who excelled in researching and manufacturing personal Equipment… Perhaps it was the different environment; Kevin’s world was similar to the apocalypse, with research concentrated on the lethality of Equipment. Meanwhile, the Fourth Epoch was relatively peaceful, and the Mage Alliance, as a neutral organization, rarely fought with anyone, not to mention that no one dared to provoke this wealthy group of Mages.

The Mage Alliance focused much of its research on generic gadgets, compensating for what Kevin was lacking.

Among them, Tang Yu found two particularly valuable schematics.

The flying backpack.

The Floating Airship.

The flying backpack, as the name implies, allowed the wearer to hover or even fly.

The Floating Airship was a symbol of the Mage Alliance.

Ryan had records of it.

“A Floating Airship, combining offense and defense, with strategic level significance, but unfortunately… the construction method of the Floating Airship is only theoretically feasible. The Alliance tried to manufacture it three times over hundreds of years, each time spending a fortune, but each attempt failed without exception. It’s puzzling to know where the problem lies.”

Rumors had it that the headquarters of the Mage Alliance preserved a few Floating Airships, passed down from the Third Epoch.

Tang Yu’s eyes brightened.

For him, as long as it was theoretically feasible, that was enough!

If the Mage Alliance couldn’t make it, and perhaps Kevin didn’t have the capacity for such large Vehicle construction, he still had a workshop, and there was nothing illusory about it!

Tang Yu wished he could stuff the schematics into the workshop’s scanner immediately.

“According to Ryan, there’s an even more Advanced blueprint that the Mage Alliance has, the Floating City—a true miracle Creation, but it seems to have completely disappeared from history, with no actual models remaining… Even Ryan himself has never seen the blueprints for the Floating City.”

Exhaling lightly, Tang Yu walked out of Ryan’s Mage Tower.

He didn’t look at the rest, just stuffed the most valuable materials into his Space Ring to be thoroughly researched when he had more time.

He headed towards another Mage Tower on the left, which was damaged and had half of it erased by the Annihilation Wind blown in from the Nihility Space.

From Ryan’s diary, Tang Yu knew that this Mage Tower belonged to the Merlin Mage, who was also the director of this Mage Alliance branch, and the control center of the Secret Realm was located underground in the Merlin Mage Tower.

The Sky-splitting Crystal was undoubtedly there as well.

Tang Yu hesitated.

Taking the Sky-splitting Crystal might cause the Secret Realm to collapse instantly, yet there were many other places in this Mage Alliance branch worth exploring.

He could plunder the vital information and items from the five Mage Towers, but in such a short time, it was impossible to thoroughly search both the towers and the entire town.

If he got his hands on the Sky-splitting Crystals but missed some important treasure, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?

After thinking it over, he decided to first enter the core of the Secret Realm to see what he could find.

“Ding! Sky-splitting Crystal*2 discovered.”

“Ding! Sky-splitting Crystal*1 discovered.”

Tang Yu: “…”

He realized he had made a mistake!

Creating a Secret Realm undoubtedly required Sky-splitting Crystals, but… Sky-splitting Crystals weren’t necessarily the core of a Secret Realm!

The system detected two Sky-splitting Crystals, and the one with the unit count of two was the core of this realm. The town was large and the crystalline structure was correspondingly bigger, so the system recognized it as two units.

Next to it, another treasure chest contained a single-unit Sky-splitting Crystal.

This was…

Simply too good to be true!

Without hesitation, Tang Yu scooped up the entire treasure chest and carried it away.

He no longer needed to hesitate; he decided to continue plundering the Mage Towers.

Just then, Red Moon suddenly spoke up.

“Somebody’s coming, my Avatar is under attack.”

“What’s the situation? They’re arriving so fast.”

“I don’t know; the Avatar can’t share sensory details, only simple signals… But there seem to be quite a few enemies. The power my Avatar can carry is limited, and it doesn’t have much Source Power stored inside. It might not be able to eliminate all the enemies.”

Tang Yu was somewhat worried, “Would any harm to your Avatar affect you?”

“No need to worry.” Red Moon’s voice was very calm, “The Avatar was originally created for suicide attacks. It doesn’t matter how many die; it’s just a little troublesome to consolidate them again. If the Avatar can’t hold on, it will use its final explosive attack.”

“…” Tang Yu was at a loss for words.

…

…

Outside the Secret Realm.

“Quick, Group One, attack!”

“Group Two can’t hold on, Group Three, take over!”

“Ranged fighters, keep firing, and switch to rune bullets.”

Li Ting, too, was holding a Combat Saber, rallying his troops, “After this battle, each person will receive two hundred Source Crystals, team leaders five hundred, and whoever deals a fatal blow to her, I’ll reward three thousand Source Crystals!”

In an instant, the eyes of the Mercenary Corps went blood-red.

Finally,

amidst a violent explosion, nearly all the Awakeners in the inner circle were dead or injured, and those in the outer circle were wounded too. But every face bore a smile of relief, as if after innumerable hardships, they had finally defeated the ultimate Demon King.

Suddenly,

the entrance to the Secret Realm rippled like waves as patterns spread out.

Two figures walked out.

One was cloaked in black robes, and the other was dressed in War Armor.

The members of Li’s Mercenary Corps, already a defeated and broken force, had their smiles freeze on their faces.
