Chapter 232: Chapter 125 Trust and Departure_2

Benny changed the topic, casting his gaze in the direction of the Magic Medicine Botanical Garden and pondered, “This trip to White Stone Castle will take at least over two months round trip.

The Holy Blood Tree Seedling is in a crucial growth phase and cannot be without your blood irrigation for too long.

I suggest you take it with you…”

Ronan blinked upon hearing Benny’s suggestion and took out several items from his Space Ring to hand to him.

These were some of the resources and materials he had gathered during his time at the Magic Ring to aid the growth of the Holy Blood Tree, including a bottle of Moon-eating Demon Whale’s essence blood.

The first thing Benny noticed was this bottle of blood.

“Moon-eating Demon Whale’s essence blood…”

Benny picked up the small bottle containing the gray-blue liquid, slightly moved, and said, “It seems that you are indeed highly valued in the Seventh Magic Ring, to have even acquired this…”

He couldn’t help but stare at the blood in the bottle with a slight sigh, “It’s said that the blood of the Moon-eating Demon Whale is the purest deep-sea color, and you can even see the shadow of the whale in it.

This essence blood has been stored for far too long, the vitality in the blood is almost entirely lost, and it’s been repeatedly diluted…but something is better than nothing…”

Benny looked up at Ronan, “When are you planning to head to White Stone Castle?”

Ronan answered, “In three days.”

“That should be enough time…”

Benny nodded slightly, quickly gathering up the essence blood and materials, and immediately busied himself at several of the experiment tables.

…..

Three days later.

Outside the massive metal archway of the Third Magic Ring, a colossal magic airship, as tall as a ten-story building and covered with glowing rune formations, slowly docked in mid-air.

Several Magic Ring Wizards, who had been waiting early under the metal archway, boarded the ship one after another. A white-haired, blue-eyed, seemingly “unremarkable” tall youth mingled among the crowd, ready to embark on his journey to White Stone Castle—it was Ronan.

Ronan only recently found out that the magic ship heading to White Stone Castle did not depart directly from within the Third Magic Ring.

It wasn’t a ship of the Magic Ring, but belonged to a wizard commerce guild called “Black Swan”, temporarily docked at the Silver Magic Ring.

The Third Magic Ring had adopted the [Elemental Magic Ring] inheritance of Ice type, with most wizards heading to White Stone Castle, making it the “boarding point”.

Ronan quietly counted; there were a total of twenty-three people boarding from the Silver Magic Ring, the majority from the Third Magic Ring, with a few like him, Ice Wizards coming from other Magic Rings.

He even saw two “familiar faces” when boarding, from the group he encountered during the contest for the Brain-eating Flower in the Damp Jungle, including the leader of that small team.

However, with so much time passed, Ronan’s appearance and aura had changed, and with the use of the Illusion Magic Ring given by Borbi, his “presence” was greatly reduced, so they didn’t recognize him.

Upon boarding the magic ship, Ronan discovered that many wizards were already waiting onboard, almost all specializing in Ice Magic, exuding varying degrees of chilling aura.

The strengths varied widely, with most above the Level 1 Official Wizard level, a few were Level 8-9 Wizard Apprentices, and there were also Second-level Wizards present.

Judging from their speech and demeanor, a large portion of these wizards were wandering wizard groups, with the rest being from minor wizard forces. These Magic Ring Wizards who boarded had a uniform late-Level 1 stage strength, their spiritual power waves solidifying the nearby air, creating a stark contrast with the many wizards on board.

All the wizards cast slightly reverent gazes at their group, voluntarily making way, distancing themselves.

Two Second-level Wizards on the deck, upon seeing Ronan and his group board, quickly, and cautiously, left.

“The Silver Magic Ring, a wizard force that likely includes many Level 3 Wizards and possibly a Level 4 Dawn Wizard, is quite prestigious in the surrounding area, with its powerful image deeply ingrained in the people’s hearts…”

Ronan observed all this, silently contemplating.

He was once part of this wandering wizard group, looking upon the Official Wizards from Hoddam Academy as “Heaven’s Chosen Sons” with the same envy and awe.

In the blink of an eye, he had become what he once “admired,” ten times stronger even… Times change, and life moves on.

“Mentor, why don’t we disembark directly at the Silver Magic Ring? This force seems so powerful…”

“Joining the Silver Magic Ring is not that easy… White Stone Castle is a place more suited for us…”

“Alright.”

Ronan overheard people whispering amidst the crowd.

At this moment, people from the “Black Swan” commerce guild quickly approached and guided Ronan’s group to different rooms within the ship.

Ronan then realized that those choosing to stay on deck had only purchased ship tickets allowing activity above the deck.

“This is your room. Please call us anytime if you need anything, and we will have someone attend to you.”

Ronan was led to the door of a room within the ship by a spirited young Apprentice Wizard wearing a short shirt and breeches.

The location was near the topmost level of the ship, a better position than any of his fellow Magic Ring Wizards, suggesting that Kosti had gotten him the highest-class ticket.

“Thank you.”

“You are too kind.”

Watching the crew member who escorted him leave, Ronan opened the door and walked into the room.
