Chapter 454: Cyan
West Tower, first floor. A spatial crack suddenly appeared, and Ace and the Crystal Dragon, who was over a meter tall, emerged from it one after another.
The Crystal Dragon Paralanda’s childish voice sounded: “I will turn into a palm-sized crystal sculpture tomorrow. You just need to gather all the people in this city-state who are engaged in the supernatural gourmet industry as agreed.
“This is the Dream Bubble of Level 3 Spatial Knowledge. You know how to use it.”
Ace nodded and accepted the Dream Bubble of Knowledge.
The night was thick, and his mana had bottomed out. Ignoring the Crystal Dragon, he opened the window directly and flew to mid-air above Nightlight City, partially manifesting the dream starry sky.
“Limit, minimize manifestation.”
Under Ace’s manipulation, an Earth Center with a radius of more than ten meters emerged, and other stars also emerged successively. Ace sat upright on the dream Earth Center. The thirteen Star Noble Phantasms condensed into a sharp “Calamity Sword.”
Ace held the “Calamity Sword” high. The dream Earth Center, sun, moon, stars, dark stars, and comets corresponded one by one with the real celestial bodies of the Inner World, forming a unique Beneficial State resonance. His mana recovered rapidly.
From the Earth Center to the sun and moon, and then to the stars filling the sky, Ace used the dream starry universe to generate a Beneficial State resonance with all celestial bodies. A massive amount of brilliant stellar mana gathered, and the dried-up Mana Lake recovered rapidly.
Hook Thoth (Thoth’s clone), who had just completed the enrollment procedures at the Magic Castle, clearly felt the vigorous mana gathering in the sky and couldn’t help looking up.
Many wizard apprentices or warlock apprentices who enrolled on the same day as him also looked up at the transparent ceiling, watching the strange scene above.
“This is your first time seeing such a wondrous phenomenon, right? This is the anomaly when Lord Ace meditates. It’s as if a mysterious induction occurred with all the stars. With such a massive amount of mana gathering, everyone follow me to the top floor of the castle.”
A graceful witch walked out. She had a shimmering six-pointed star badge pinned to her chest. It seemed she was an advanced wizard apprentice.
“Teacher Sigrid!”
The newly enrolled wizard apprentices and warlock apprentices bowed to this witch one after another. The witch didn’t mind and led them quickly to the top of the castle, saying to Hook:
“Most of the wizard apprentices enrolling here are children who learned basic magic knowledge very early. You haven’t come into contact with basic magic knowledge. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can come and ask me.”
Hook looked at her gentle and warm smile and returned a sunny smile: “I will ask you for advice in time, Teacher Sigrid.”
Sigrid looked at the sky and said with somewhat blurred eyes: “Do you know why I brought you here?”
The newly enrolled apprentices all shook their heads. Hook looked at the sky thoughtfully.
Sigrid’s voice became slightly impassioned:
“Lord Ace is a great Level 3 Wizard, also known as a Legendary Wizard. He is the pioneer of our magic path and the number one wizard.
“When he was still a Golden Wizard, I had the honor of witnessing his meditation once. We can discover our own Natal Stars more easily through Lord Ace’s mental imagery starry sky covering reality, and create a marvelous communication with the Natal Star!
“I suggest you start meditating now and communicate with Lord Ace’s mental imagery starry sky. Not only can you obtain the stellar mana overflowing from Lord Ace, but you can also discover meditation early and lay the foundation for meditation!”
Listening to Sigrid’s words, the apprentices looked a bit excited. They sat down on the spot one by one and began to meditate.
Hook also smiled brilliantly and said to Sigrid: “I don’t know how to meditate yet. Could I trouble Teacher Sigrid to teach me?”
…
The next day, all magic food-related industries in Nightlight City were closed. No one knew what had happened. Under Ace’s instructions, Logan gathered all the magic food practitioners in Nightlight City, totaling more than 1,200 people, at the North City Military Camp in the afternoon.
Luther was somewhat uneasy. As an ordinary intermediate wizard apprentice, because he liked magic food and wanted to earn some extra money, he used his spare time to work part-time at Logan’s gourmet shop.
Unexpectedly, after only working for two weeks and working hard for a big order in the morning, he was brought here. Luther felt something was wrong.
While the atmosphere in the military camp became increasingly strange, and fear and uneasiness spread, people whispered and looked around. Just then, teams of small wooden figures brought dazzling magic food here.
The aroma was overflowing, making one salivate spontaneously. Luther’s stomach growled a few times. He swallowed his saliva; he was indeed a bit hungry.
“Sorry to keep everyone waiting. Lord Ace tasted everyone’s magic food some time ago and was deeply grateful to everyone. He specially asked me to gather everyone together to share the delicious food.
“All the magic food here is piping hot, made by everyone this morning. Now please enjoy yourselves!”
Logan, wearing his signature oversized hat, short and thin, held up a large glass of blood-colored Baal wine and said in a cheerful tone.
The strange atmosphere dissipated instantly. The crowd laughed and joked, happily tasting the food. For a time, a joyous atmosphere filled the military camp.
About ten minutes later, Ace appeared silently behind Logan.
He stopped Logan’s intention to announce to everyone: “It’s fine like this. We enjoy the food together with everyone. It’s much better than me giving a dry speech up there.”
A crystal giant dragon sculpture sat on his shoulder, its iridescent eyes flashing momentarily.
“Is this okay? Lord Paralanda.”
Ace tasted the food with everyone, praised, complimented, and encouraged them while distracted, communicating with the Crystal Dragon via telepathy.
“Okay. The people I want to find are all here. Hehe, I’ve seen the Heart of Gourmet, but this is the first time for the Supernatural Heart of Gourmet.”
Listening to the Crystal Dragon’s excited and childish voice, Ace’s eyes flashed with white light, thoughtful.
Following the Crystal Dragon’s intention, he let the atmosphere reach a climax. A large amount of ingredients were transported over. Many people displayed their cooking skills on the spot, making magic food right there. The entire military camp turned into a gourmet camp.
It seemed that a certain rhythm was surging. The Crystal Dragon unconsciously drooled dragon saliva, chanting in Draconic in the telepathic link with Ace: “Heart of the Gourmet, commands and devours all Hearts of Gourmet… Thus, gather…”
Except for Ace, none of the people present noticed that the Crystal Dragon had unknowingly concealed its figure and flown into mid-air.
Ace’s eyes flickered with white light, staring at the Crystal Giant Dragon, watching It slowly grow larger. A peculiar heartbeat sound came, and those iridescent eyes instantly bloomed with invisible brilliance.
All the food practitioners present gradually had mana emerge from their bodies that ordinary people couldn’t see—Gourmet Mana!
Ace keenly named it. The gourmet mana hidden in everyone, guided out by the Crystal Dragon, instantly condensed into phantom images of various magic foods.
The giant dragon opened its big mouth and sucked hard. All kinds of food phantom images were swallowed by It just like that. The Crystal Giant Dragon burped and spat out a light ball with a pale cyan glow.
