Chapter 326: Legendary Equipment: Blade of Judgment, Return to Maple City
After Li Wei accepted the mission to explore the Poison Dragon Cave, he could use the Elemental Tower’s Teleportation Array to travel to the Northern Territory for free.
Normally, the teleportation fee to return to the Northern Territory would be considerable.
The farther the distance, the higher the teleportation fee.
Teleporting to Storm City, which was only 800 kilometers away, cost one hundred gold coins.
The Elemental Tower was tens of thousands of kilometers from the Northern Territory.
The teleportation fee would be astronomical.
The Elemental Tower wouldn’t cover this astronomical fee; the client would.
After all, the Elemental Tower was not a charitable organization.
Li Wei chose to teleport back to Maple City to see how it had changed.
Extremely long-distance teleportation required an application one day in advance.
Li Wei wouldn’t be able to return to Maple City until the next day.
Before then, he familiarized himself with the new Legendary Level item he had obtained.
When he had gone to discuss Mystical Techniques with Valen, Li Wei had received the Legendary Level item Valen forged for him.
Blade of Judgment.
Valen had maximized the instant-death trait of the Death Wolf Fang.
To ensure the Death Wolf Fang could touch an enemy and activate its instant-death effect, the Blade of Judgment was inscribed with numerous Armor-Piercing and Demon-Breaking runes.
This would allow it to break through any defense and strike its target.
The Blade of Judgment was imbued with an instant-death effect.
As long as it struck an enemy, it would activate its instant-death effect.
No matter how small the wound, the enemy would die instantly.
The Blade of Judgment was a ring blade formed from two daggers that could automatically lock onto and attack enemies.
All Li Wei had to do was lock onto a target and throw the Blade of Judgment.
The Blade of Judgment would then automatically attack the locked target.
It would continue until Li Wei’s Mana ran out.
This attack pattern reminded Li Wei of a Magic Puppet.
’It feels like Valen treated the Blade of Judgment like a Magic Puppet when he made it.’
’A Magic Puppet in the shape of a weapon.’
According to Valen, he still hadn’t brought out the full power of the Death Wolf Fang.
In reality, the Blade of Judgment still relied on the inherent Extraordinary Traits of the Death Wolf Fang.
He was not a Legendary Level Forger.
The Legendary item he forged was, in truth, only Pseudo-Legendary Level.
Its Legendary Level power came entirely from the inherent traits of the material itself,
and had almost nothing to do with the craftsmanship.
The only effects Valen had added to the Blade of Judgment were its Armor-Piercing, Demon-Breaking, and auto-targeting abilities.
The Blade of Judgment’s most important feature—its instant-death effect—was also an inherent property of the Death Wolf Fang.
True Legendary Equipment had far more powerful effects.
Still, Li Wei was more than satisfied with the Blade of Judgment.
It was far stronger than any Magic Equipment he had ever possessed.
「The next day.」
Li Wei and Lilith teleported to Maple City together.
As Li Wei had expected, the one who issued the mission to explore the Poison Dragon Cave was Lady Rose, Evelyn.
She was waiting for Li Wei and Lilith at the Maple City Mage Association.
Evelyn had high expectations for the two experts from the Elemental Tower.
She was also very curious about what the famous Mages from the Elemental Tower were really like.
What made them so exceptional?
When she saw the two people step out of the Teleportation Array,
Evelyn froze. She naturally recognized Li Wei, and she had even seen Lilith a few times in the Maple City Mage Tower.
They could both be considered acquaintances.
Evelyn found it hard to believe. After a moment’s hesitation, she asked, "Li Wei, are you the Mage from the Elemental Tower sent to explore the Poison Dragon Cave?"
Li Wei nodded, not at all surprised to see Evelyn.
"Yes, that’s right. Lilith and I took the mission to explore the Poison Dragon Cave."
Evelyn said hesitantly, "But the Poison Dragon Cave is too dangerous. You need the power of a Grand Mage at the very least just to protect yourself."
Li Wei smiled. "You can rest assured. Since the Elemental Tower sent the two of us, we definitely have the strength to complete the mission."
Evelyn looked at Li Wei in shock. "You’ve only been at the Elemental Tower for a few months? And you’re already this powerful?"
Once her shock subsided, she had no choice but to accept the reality of the situation.
The Elemental Tower Mage Robe Li Wei was wearing couldn’t be fake.
Even if she couldn’t recognize it herself, the people at the Mage Association certainly wouldn’t make a mistake.
Li Wei asked, "When do we leave?"
Evelyn replied, "We leave this afternoon. I’ve already prepared everything."
Li Wei nodded. "Alright, I need to make a stop first. I’ll be back by noon."
He looked at Lilith and asked, "What about you?"
Lilith shook her head. "I’ll stay here."
Evelyn graciously hosted Lilith and began asking her about the Elemental Tower.
Li Wei left the Mage Association and walked toward the Maple City Mage Tower.
’Now that I’m back, I should at least go see my master, Torresta.’
’It would be rude not to.’
As he walked through the streets of Maple City, Li Wei noticed they had become much wider.
Horse-drawn carriages were a common sight.
Looking into the distance, he saw that the city gates had also been widened, now large enough for four carriages to pass through simultaneously.
Maple City had changed immensely.
’Is this still the place I knew?’
The changes outside Maple City were even greater.
According to Gus, Maple City’s current area was more than ten times its original size.
Li Wei returned to the Maple City Mage Tower to pay his respects to his master.
He felt a pang of regret.
’It’s a shame Gu Ze isn’t here.’
’I wonder when I’ll see him again.’
After Gu Ze left, there had been no news of him.
Li Wei didn’t even know if Gu Ze was dead or alive.
The only thing he knew was that Gu Ze had gone to the Northern Icefield.
That was the coldest place in the Northern Territory.
Even the Beastman Race was unwilling to set foot in that region.
Only a few tribes that lived in the Northern Icefield year-round could be found there.
Li Wei had met a Mage from the Northern Icefield named Xiong Er at a young Mages’ tournament.
His Magic was also very unique.
Only after going to the Elemental Tower did Li Wei learn that Xiong Er’s magic leaned towards the Witchcraft of ancient times.
He was a very niche and unorthodox type of Mage.
The Beastman Race, on the other hand, had a relatively large number of Witchcraft Masters.
They called them Shamans.
Li Wei wanted to go to the Northern Icefield to find Gu Ze.
’But not now.’
’Maybe after I break through to Tier Four Mage and help the Little Bone Dragon with its Reincarnation of the Impure World, I’ll make a trip to the Northern Icefield.’
"Li Wei?"
Rota was very surprised to see Li Wei.
"Mage Rota."
Li Wei greeted him.
"Li Wei, is it really you? Why are you back?"
Rota asked, full of curiosity.
He knew Li Wei had gone to the Elemental Tower.
He thought he wouldn’t see him for many years.
He hadn’t expected Li Wei to return after only a few months.
Li Wei smiled. "I came back to Maple City for some business. I’ll return to the Elemental Tower once it’s resolved."
"I came to visit my master. Is he in?" Li Wei asked.
Rota nodded and said, "The Tower Master is always in the Mage Tower. You can go up and see."
Rota didn’t ask what business Li Wei had returned for.
After all, it involved the Elemental Tower, and Li Wei might not be at liberty to speak about it.
Rota understood such boundaries.
"Alright then, I’ll go see my master first. Goodbye, Mage Rota."
"Goodbye."
Li Wei arrived on the third floor of the Mage Tower. The Magic Butler saw him and immediately opened the gate to the Sixth Floor.
Walking through the Teleportation Gate, Li Wei appeared on the Sixth Floor of the Mage Tower.
The Sixth Floor was as vast and empty as ever.
"Master, I’m back."
Li Wei looked up and saw Torresta, a look of surprise on his face.
"Master, you..."
