Chapter 97: The Blue Seal Casino
"Toot it!&8221; Dorian smiled as he left the Skycrosser Travel Company dockside headquarters, his steps full of cheer
He’d just secured a reservation to board one of the flying vessels that would be crossing the huge sea between this continent and Pashal The distance was significant, ht be able to fly there on his own, if he wanted to, in his Sun Eagle for distance, especially when hedistance by wing or over sea, and felt it wiser to si ships
Froe to the Exotic World of Lansc Once on Lansc, he only needed to travel a short distance to reach the World Bridge to Mag he could skip over ed it, he was only a couple days away fromor
He clenched his fists
‘I’ht that contained Will’s soul It was still covered in a coat of energy, stored safely He had severalto Ausra, but, for soency
The quicker he saved Will, the better There was no reason to delay anything
‘Almost there’
A couple of hours had passed, the early afternoon light fading to midafternoon
In that ti funds, all the gold he had on hi to store in his Spatial Ring At the minimum, he would never have any occurrences where he ithout clothing, and even if their ship becah supplies to last
He was a pauper now, Dorian thought with a sold to his name
‘Well, I still have my Cloud-in-a-Bottle and that Golden Leaf, as well as those Magic Herbs’ He still had an odd assortained on Taprisha and the Golden Leaf froht not be worth much, but the Natural Treasure was bound to be worth a pretty penny It was Fire Aspected, and could be of use in aiding a Wizard in breaking into the Lord Class or used as a redient for a variety of alchemical products
(Author’s Note: Due to popular request "Natural Treasure&8221; is now capitalized)
Dorian put aside his thoughts of treasure for now, turning to look at the journal logs Bella had given hi and laid the in a small, wooden inn bedroom It was sparsely decorated, with only a plain bed, a dresser, and a shutteredon the side He had rented the roo to forure out exactly where he needed to go
"The Ascension Ruins can be found in the Ee&8221; That hat the old Wizard had told Dorian However, the old, dead Wizard hadn’t been near those ruins in hundreds of years From what Dorian knew, the Ascension Ruins had existed for almost 1,000 years, created back when Yukeli still walked the 30,000 Worlds
It was a grand, collaborative effort, and while the exact reasons why the ruins came to be were unknown, the fact that they full of treasure and knowledge was a well-known fact
He began reading the journal logs
‘Log F &8211; Day 4’
‘Our exploration of Magside the lory seekers, has met with failure thus far The Flame Empyrean Turtle that carries the ruins on its backfashion over the planet, and has proven very difficult to track’
‘I will continue this record later if our journey i F &8211; Day 7’
‘We have finally found success! After allying with the Heldenfelz Hunters, we roup of nearly 40 other teahts of the enorend had it, the entrance to the Ruins appeared on the back of the lava-diving beast, visible for all!’
‘A grand melee broke out at the base of the ruins The only way to enter is through one of the 10 entrances, and only 6 people can ical connection collapses The ic that protects it prevents interference, even froed to enter through one of the h The deadly heat that suffused Magmor is put to rest inside these Ruins where I now lay I will recordF &8211; Day 11’
‘I write this after days of peril The danger of these ruins is incredible, but so are the rewards! The enerations To guide theuard the future There are records of the horror of the Third Great War, and the billions and billions that died in theroup I ith has been split apart Many have died, and I aed to stuic and knowledge on an incredible law The Law of Luck’
‘I will now do ical Ruins I know if I seek deeper for more treasure, I may not lose only s went into ers the Wizard faced The fores of the Master Class While quite powerful compared to a normalspecial
The Ascension Ruins were hidden inside, through so Class beast And a elic Class beasts, just due to its sheer size
‘Huh There’s no e’ Unlike the infor that talked about the Ee is a reference to so inside the Ruins?’ Dorian didn’t know The old Wizard’s words, and the inforuous All he had froe of a convoluted map, tucked away in his head
Severalnote of everything that ht be relevant
Bella’s father certainly had been lucky even before he discovered the Luck Magic inheritance His records stated that he nearly died 8 separate times, and hed, putting down the logs He had read theave him a bit of a better idea of what to expect
Once he reached Magmor, he’d need to find one of the few Oasis Cities that existed on the Exotic World, cities that stood far above the Magiant turtle would appear next
He stored the logs in his Spatial Ring, and then looked outside, through the cracks in the shuttered
It was only ht ahead of him before he would leave tomorrow at noon
He looked down at the Invitation Card he’d been given by the aging thief
"Iup He read the instructions on the back closely as he walked out of his roo towards a destination near the center of the dockside town
"What has the Silver Moon swept past?&8221; A gruff voice called out, raspy and deep
"Err&8221; Dorian looked down at the card, reading over the instructions on it
"A Golden Silver Thu out as a large wooden door thuuard The man had a clean, well-kept face, and wore a full set of iron arh
‘Interesting’ Dorian thought
