Along the way, there were no accidents, let alone bandits and other obstacles. Facing a line of three White Dragons, the creature from the legends, even Golden Knights would not dare to stop them. Currently, in the Deladia Empire, White Dragons were equivalent to royalty because the Eternal Contract was largely reached due to the White Dragons. The Red Dragons and the other Dragon Clans were only there in name, only the White Dragons were the ones who fully supported it.

The clan was a long distance from the Snow City. After flying for more than ten days with a few pitstops in between, Garen finally saw the border of the Snow City. The border towers were lit up with lights, serving both as a guiding light and a warning. It illuminated the passing roads at night like a lighthouse.

The three White Dragons landed slowly on the edge of the tower, and the soldiers there had already run out to give warnings.

The border tower in the sea of forests was obviously just there as a warning. The ones that came out were just average Level Two elite warriors. It was most likely because this place was facing the dragon clan’s habitat that they only had stationed a Level Two elite at this place.

“Three lords, what are you planning to go to Snow City for?” The stationed soldier at the tower shouted loudly.

The distance between the two sides was more than ten meters, hence he had to raise his voice.

“Yes, please report the situation.” Garen knew the rules. One of the Dragon Guards around him flashed a white-gold shield-shaped badge. That was a special symbol issued by the Deladia Empire to the clan.

The border tower immediately emitted a force. Almost as if a magic spell, the force immediately transmitted far and faded away. The speed was amazing.

Soon, Garen sensed faintly that they were being spied on.

“Who’s there spying on me!” Garen narrowed his eyes. His dragon eyes instantly looking up towards the sky above him. There seemed to be a patch of dark clouds that made the area look like nighttime. Instantly, a transparent distortion flashed up.

“Sorry sorry, it might have been the Snow City Wizard Guard Lords coming over to check on things. Please calm your anger, Lord White Dragons!” The warrior at the border tower urgently explained.

Garen nodded, seemingly relieved. Both the Dragon Guards were a little shocked. They had felt something was slightly off earlier, but they did not expect it to be a wizard snooping on them.

“It was a Prophecy-type Wizard, they specialize in such spells. I’ve encountered them on the battlefield before,” one of the Dragon Guards said with a disgusted face.

“These damned Prophecy Wizards. The stronger ones could even investigate the exact time that you went to the toilet.”

Garon chuckled and said nothing.

Very soon, the wizards’ check was completed. Another force was transmitted back from a distance away.

“Three lords, you may enter the borders now.” The border tower warriors respectfully saluted.

Finally, Garen and company spread their wings and flew off. As White Dragons, they are considered very well-tempered out of the Dragon Clans. They calmly awaited the human’s border check to get permission to enter. They fully complied with the visiting procedure without a complaint.

If you go to other countries, these actions were considered very rare. However, in the face of Snow City, the Arcane Center of the Northlands, this was the gathering grounds of the top Arcanists of the entire Northlands. Even if it were the Dragon Clans, they would still have to have at least some etiquette.

The three dragons glided through the sky, effortlessly moving with the wind.

“Speaking of which, why are you guys, Dragon Guards, willing to stay in the clan to work? Why not go out and live alone?”

Feeling excessively bored, Garen asked the two Dragons Guards.

The two Dragon Guards were called Ken and Annie. One was male and the other female.

“Living alone? You mean those stupid dragons who sneaked out, then got cut up by humans and other races and have its entire body made into materials?” Ken laughed. “We, as White Dragons, have a bad reputation. We would probably get ganged up on in most places we go to. Even in the current region where everywhere is filled with chaos, Dimensional Cracks can still swallow even the strongest Dragon Clans whole. There are even a bunch of them who got captured and turned into pets for others to ride on!”

“That’s right, Lord Garen, you need to be very careful of one person when you get to Snow City,” Annie was calmer in her warnings.

“Who’s that?”

“Dragon Wizard Asilia,” Annie said a name that Garen seemed to have heard of.

“Dragon Wizard? The guy who specializes in capturing the dragons and forcing them to sign master-servant contracts?” Garen recalled of this character now. He was one of the figures that the Third Elder warned him about before he left.

“Yes, Dragon Wizard likes to force all the special and powerful dragons to sign contracts with her, and it’s always master-servant contracts. She has an irregular passion towards talented dragons. You should be careful not to be targeted by her,” Annie warned.

Garen smiled, not paying much heed to their warnings. With his hidden strength, as long as the Level Ten Great Arcanists of the Snow City Joint Council did not take action, the rest of the existences, even at their peak, would have no chance against him. No one would be able to do anything about him. Moreover, his growth rate had already far exceeded the imagination of these people. It would not take long before he would leave them in the dust.

“My goal is to build a Wizard Tower, break through my own bottleneck. I’ll try to stay low-key as much as possible.” That was the plan he decided on.

“I heard that there are five Dragon Clans under the Dragon Wizard: the Red Dragons, the Black Dragons, the Brass Dragons, and the Purple Dragon 1 s. Although it was a master-servant contract, due to her generous summoning rewards and an extremely powerful backer supporting her, all the Dragon Clans are extremely tolerant of her,” Annie whispered.

“Backer huh?” Garon got a bit of a headache thinking about that. He hoped that this Dragon Wizard would not set her sights on him. He was just some average genius in the White Dragon Clan. The Dragon Wizard’s backer was actually the biggest and most powerful existence of Snow City, the owner of the Silver Tower, the Speaker of the Joint Council, the boss of Snow City, and the one known as the strongest wizard of the Northlands – Urvac Dragon. He was a peak Level Fifteen Great Arcanist.

This guy had already reached Level Fifteen three hundred years ago. Who knows what level he was actually at right now. In the Deladia Empire, for Snow City to be able to stand on equal footing with the Royal Families, it was all due to his efforts.

Not only did Snow City have Arcanists and Wizards, but it also has churches of various Gods stationed here. Although they were oddly unpopular and did not have the respect of a lot of Wizards, these forces still made the situation in Snow City even more complicated.

Garen did not want to think too much about it. He had two main purposes for going to Snow City. First, build a Wizard Tower. Second, find the Soaring Wing King and go to the Abyss to participate in the Blood War. Only through the Blood War could he collect Potential Points at the fastest rate.

Entering the borders of the Snow City, Garen and company started to put their guard up. The closer they were to the place with the most amount of Deladia Wizards, the more nervous they got. The number of powerhouses who could threaten them was too high. After these people got to Level Five, they could easily increase their lifespan. Hence, there were many old guys who have lived for hundreds of years hidden in this ancient city, or maybe in the Snow Mountain Library, the Balloon Planetarium, the Silver Tower, or even in an inconspicuous corner of the city.

There were too many strong wizards staying in this place.

Some of their Wizard Levels were probably not that high, but under dire circumstances, they would definitely have some sort of trump card, and would still be able to defeat a Level Eight White Dragon.

As the sun set, Garen and company started to land to take a short break.

Taking this opportunity to pretend to sleep, Garen entered the Dream World to contact the Soaring Wing King. After all, Garen had just arrived in his territory, it was only appropriate to give him a greeting. Garen might even require help in the future.

Luckily, in the past, he had exchanged a lot of information about the empire to the Soaring Wing King, so both parties were quite satisfied with their cooperative relationship. Some of his knowledge from Ann and his understanding of the entire Plane Universe had also helped the Soaring Wing King a lot.

At the halfway point of a cliff of a mountain, the three White Dragons entered an abandoned cave and started to rest.

His consciousness sank into the depths.

In a black villa covered with bright concave windows, one could see the white but overcast sky through the glass.

When Garen woke up, this was the scene he saw.

He stood up in the room with a human body. The room only had a set of white sofas and nothing else. They were old and worn out leather sofas. The walls around the room were a gloomy gray.

Whoosh!

A huge black shadow flashed by the window. It seemed to be a huge black crow, flying around the villa. Other than the sound of its wings flapping, nothing else could be heard.

The shadows continue to flash by the windows, over and over, seemingly with a rhythm.

Every 13.56 seconds, it would pass by the window very punctually.

As Garen observed the black shadow outside the window, unbeknownst to him, an old man in a white robe was already seated on the sofa.

“I just received the news that you’re about to arrive.” The old man looked kind and gentle. He had a bit of a widow’s peak, and his hair and beard were pure white.

“You really never give up on your tendency of flying freely at all times,” Garen replied cheekily.

The old man laughed.

“That’s why I’m called the Soaring Wing King.”

“Alright, let’s skip the talk of your life motto. The reason I came to your territory this time is that I want to build a Wizard Tower. A Wizard Tower appropriate for a dragon. At the same time, I hope you can send me out to the Blood War,” Garen said bluntly. Looking at the old man’s stunned expression, he continued, “I know that a Wizard Tower for a dragon requires far more resources as compared to an average human, but name a price, I’ll find a way.”

“Price? It needs to be something of equal value to your request.” Soaring Wing King shook his head as he frowned. “What Level do you want it to be, and where do you want it built? What about the Level of the Tower Souls? To block out Divine Power you’ll need enchantment and reinforcement by at least a Level Nine Wizard. Furthermore, the cost of using it would also be high, your spiritual energy may also be downgraded. Are you sure you can afford it?”

Garen had already readied himself for this.

“Of course I know that, but I will still need an estimated quotation, then only will I be able to prepare what’s required. I want the best Upper-Level Wizard Tower. It needs to have an Elemental Pond, a Dimensional Anchor, and all the essential facilities.”

Soaring Wing King glanced at him oddly. “Why don’t you wait till you get a human body, then build an even better Wizard Tower? A dragon’s body is too big, the number of resources you’re going to need would be more than fifty times of what an average Wizard Tower of the same level would require.”

“Hmm… That’s actually not a bad idea.” Garen already knew that the expenses would be very high. “Unfortunately, I can’t afford to find a stranger to cast the Ultimate Transformation Spell on me. Well, just give me an estimated quotation for the time being, the location doesn’t matter.”

“The expenses for the highest level Wizard Tower with all standard facilities will roughly be above one billion gold coins, and that’s not including all the rare materials you need to prepare yourself. For you, the standard would be around five to ten times higher so you can estimate the costs for yourself. As for a permanent enchantment to block off Divine Power, the cost of that Level Nine spell would at least require you to give up some rare and precious treasure in exchange for it…”
