Chapter 153 Thunder Light City

"Yes, that's right." Enzo did not deny it and admitted it generously.

Isaac nodded slightly and said, "In that case, then you can follow me. It just so happens that my inspection is over. Now I plan to return to Thunder City. Taking this opportunity, I will introduce the responsibilities of the garrison mission."

After that, Isaac turned and walked forward.

Enzo naturally would not object and followed him.

The two walked out of the forest side by side, and Dias followed closely behind. It was not far from Thunder City, so it took only half an hour for the two to arrive at the north gate of Thunder City.

"The Kingdom of Leighton has always been the territory of our Kendi family."

"Although Thunder City is located in a special environment, it is also within the family's sphere of influence. There are currently three official wizards stationed in the city. Among them, the most powerful first-level wizard Ulysses Kendi is my uncle."

As he walked towards the city, Isaac introduced a few words from time to time.

The guards who were originally guarding the city gate, after seeing Isaac, all knelt on one knee to salute, showing that the Kendi family has a high status in the Leighton Kingdom, just like the royal family in the secular world.

After entering the Thunder Light City, Enzo looked around.

This is indeed a large town controlled by three wizards. The wide cross-shaped streets run through the north and south. There are all kinds of strange buildings around. The shops on both sides of the road are prosperous, and carriages pass by from time to time.

And looking forward, there are three towers standing in the center of the Thunder Light City.

Each tower represents a wizard. The height of the three towers is almost the same, but all exceed 200 meters. The tower body is in the shape of a five-sided column, built with white granite materials, and is engraved with rune patterns around it. It faintly emits a magical wave, spreading towards the four directions of the Thunder Light City.

"What is that?" Enzo's eyebrows suddenly raised as his eyes swept across the three towers.

In the center of the top of the three towers, there is a sphere that looks like a huge eyeball, which is constantly rotating. It monitors every move of the entire Thunder City and projects gray light from time to time.

"What are you talking about? Oh, it's the Eye of Twilight!"

Following the direction of Enzo's gaze, Isaac explained, "It is a special magic item. It is said that it has a history of hundreds of years. It was hung above the city when Thunder City was first established. Uncle Ulysses said that the Eye of Twilight can monitor the entire Thunder City and even the surrounding area. If there is any abnormality anywhere, the tower can be informed at the first time."

"So that's the case." Enzo nodded slightly and asked, "Do abnormal situations often occur in Thunder City?"

"There have been very few abnormal incidents in Thunder City in recent years." Isaac shook his head and continued, "But the Dark Forest is not stable. Those mice hiding underground often come out to make trouble!"

"Rats hiding underground?" Enzo frowned.

"A group of fallen people who violated the wizard's holy book built a Nightfall City under the Dark Forest. Occasionally, they would come to the surface to plunder cultivation resources, but every time they would be crushed by the Thunder City." Isaac spread his palms and said with disdain.

Enzo's eyes moved, and he searched for information about the Dark Forest in his mind.

The Dark Forest, located in the south of Thunder City, is a black area that has been shrouded in shadows for a long time. It is said that in the ancient Second Age, when the gods ruled the world, there was a huge ancient kingdom there, which was called "Essos" by the world.

The Kingdom of Essos believed in the Goddess of Night, and its royal family claimed to be descendants of the goddess. In the Second Age, they fought against the demons of the abyss according to the oracle of the Goddess of Night, but eventually disappeared in the long river of history. The entire kingdom collapsed and even the Goddess of Night they believed in was missing, and the Dark Forest fell into silence.

It was not until many years later, with the end of the Age of Gods and the rise of wizard civilization, that the Dark Forest was once again set foot by humans.

Some fallen wizards who violated the wizard's holy book fled to the Dark Forest to avoid being hunted down. Due to the special environment here and the long-term shadow, it is very suitable for fallen wizards to survive, so it also attracted more fallen wizards, and gradually formed a gathering place for fallen wizards.

At first, the Crow Phantom only sent a wizard team to hunt down fallen wizards.

But when they were exploring the Dark Forest, they accidentally discovered that this forest was rich in a rare plant called fluorescent mushrooms, which can assist wizards in meditation. Therefore, the Crow Phantom immediately established the Thunder Light City next to the Dark Forest, and three wizards were stationed there to collect fluorescent mushrooms.

"The fallen wizards hiding in the underground of the Dark Forest are not worth mentioning, but they need to be cleaned up every once in a while, otherwise they will be flooded and affect the collection of fluorescent mushrooms. They are as annoying as rats." Isaac looked disgusted.

The main purpose of the Thunder Light City is to collect fluorescent mushrooms in the Dark Forest.

Although wizards are not required to do this work, they are needed to maintain order, otherwise when mortals enter the Dark Forest to collect, various problems will arise.

After all, the Dark Forest is not a safe area. In addition to the fallen wizards, it is also full of dangers!

"So, the mission of the garrison in Thunder Light City is to clean up the fallen wizards in the Dark Forest?" Enzo asked.

"This is just one of the tasks of the garrison mission." Isaac nodded slightly and said, "Strictly speaking, anything that may affect the collection of fluorescent mushrooms is within our scope."

Enzo nodded slightly, understanding the essence of the garrison mission.

Afterwards, the two continued walking on the streets of Thunder City and came to an area unknowingly.

"According to past rules, every apprentice who takes over the garrison task needs to report to the tower, identify himself to Uncle Ulysses, and show his mission credentials when he arrives at Thunder City."

Isaac suddenly stopped, turned to look at Enzo, and said, "But recently, Uncle Ulysses is practicing in seclusion, so you don't have to go to the tower to report. I will prove your identity for you."

"Then thank you, Senior Isaac." Enzo nodded in thanks.

"I just arrived at Thunder City, so I don't know what you need?" Isaac asked again.

"If it's convenient, I'd like to find a place to stay first." After hesitating for a moment, Enzo said, "The garrison mission is limited to three years. I have to live in Thunder City for a while. Living in a hotel all the time is not an option."

"Residence? That's no problem." Isaac nodded and said, "I can help you find a manor in Thunder City, but I don't know what specific requirements you have for a place to live?"
