Chapter 269 On the Flying Ship

The ticket price of the flying ship was calculated on a per person basis

It wasn't really expensive, but neither was it cheap Two hundred er

This basically made it impossible for ordinary peasants and low-level apprentices to ever take a ride on the flying ship!

Greeic crystals per month back when he was an apprentice adept If one deducted the basic cost of borrowing books, renting the lab, and purchasing ical materials from his income, he would barely have any crystals left at the end of each month

And if he wanted to increase his income? The only ould be to take on the apprentice missions put out by the Adept's Association

However, suchto faraway places Moreover, there would occasionally be a need to take the risk of venturing into hazardous areas It didn't matter whether it was the wild plains, the ancient woods, or some hidden ruins All of these would contain hidden threats that were lethal to apprentice adepts!

Two hundred inable sum of money for most low-level apprentices Only pseudo-adepts would be able to bear such a cost Thus, almost all of the people on the deck, with the exception of Snorlax and Alice, were adepts

Most of the adepts had already obscured their faces using elementium particles One look and Greem could tell that these were lone wolves that didn't like being involved with others Those adepts that didn't hide their faces werecloth robes Their expressions were peaceful and cal, as if they didn't want to initiate any form of conflict with others

Greem contemplated for a moment

He had heard of such adepts in books that discussed these types of adepts

These adepts disliked conflict They preferred to do research in silence, slowly accu most of their lives in their labs

This hy they were known as scholar adepts

Now that Greem had already chosen fire mastery, it would be difficult for him to walk down the path of the scholar adept That said, his personality was not suited to being a scholar in the first place Gree his own coical research he conducted was only for the sake of h he was extreole a combat adept was his true profession Golem creation was only a secondary profession that acted as an auxiliary source of power for him!

Scholar adepts, on the other hand, were the exact opposite

They rarely experi Instead, they took on secondary and auxiliary professions as their main specialty Thus, countless non-combat professions continued to develop These were the potions olem masters, summoners, alchemists, and array masters

These people formed a massive branch within the adepts These were the esoteric adepts

These people, whoseto distance thee in battle and murder Thus they put on silver robes and foranization in the west of the continent– the Silver Union

They ht not have e powers and sheer numbers allowed them to force their way into the ranks of the top three anizations on the Continent of Adepts

And Greem's destination this time was the heart city of the Silver Union– the Castle in the Sky

It was ruether, put together all of their wisdoe to forge a hty city over the course of a thousand years An adepts' city that floated in the skies!

It was precisely because of this miraculous Castle in the Sky that the Silver Union was able to remain influential and powerful, even after ten thousand years It was because of this e that the city had become the holy city for all esoteric adepts on the Continent of Adepts

Every year, all newly advanced adepts that wanted a future as an esoteric adept would treat the Castle in the Sky as their ultie They would personally visit the city, regardless of what difficulties theyexperienced and fallen in love with the learning atmosphere and amount of resources available in the city, would sithened the talent and poithin the Silver Union!

There were countless talents and geniuses within the Silver Union's territory as well Along with the various potions, olems available there, the place was also a hotspot for trade If other adept organizations and forces wanted to get their hands on these top-grade resources, they would have to traverse thousands of kilometers to visit the Castle in the Sky and deal with the Silver Union

All of these advantages added together caused the Castle in the Sky to become the most prosperous and lively trade city on the Continent of Adepts It here talent, knowledge, and resources congregated!

However the journey to the Castle in the Sky was not an easy one

Currently, several major areas within the Continent of Adepts had been developed The Zhentarim Association's territory was located in the central area of the continent, while the Silver Union reigned over the territories to the west These two major forces were the closest to each other

Sadly, a true connection of transport between these two places had yet to come to fruition

The Wendu territory in the westernmost land of the Zhentarim Association was still 185,000 kilometers away from the Silver Union's territory Most of the primal forest that connected the two territories were Third Grade areas that had yet to be explored There was absolutely no way to pass through these areas
