Chapter 433: Reunion

Chapter 433: Reunion

Sein spent his time exploring the middle and outer areas of Steel City to enrich his knowledge.

Although Sein wished to explore the heart of Steel City, he lacked the necessary permission to do so.

Entry to the deeper central area was restricted to mechanics of Rank two and above, with authorization from the relevant mechanical divine towers.

The Magus World was never overly exclusionary. Although elementalists could gain access to those parts, Sein, unfortunately, did not qualify for this privilege.

Sein speculated that he would need to become at least a Rank Three grand mage before he could gain access to the core area of Steel City.

Despite this, he felt profoundly satisfied with his visit.

Moreover, even with access, Sein doubted he could explore everything thoroughly.

After six months in Steel City’s territory, Sein had only managed to see less than a tenth of the central and peripheral areas. Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

It was simply too vast to be fully explored in a year, or even several years.

The astonishing scale of the main city itself extended not only outward but also vertically, both upward and downward.

The underground space, in particular, radically shifted Sein’s perception of the traditional underground worlds of the Magus World.

Unlike the typically dark and quiet underground cities made of rock and soil, the underground of Steel City was covered in metal and immaculately smooth floors.

It was also equipped with good lighting and air-purifying systems.

Moreover, coupled with the education from the ground up and the overall civilization of Steel City, this top major force in the Magus World truly delivered a profound shock and deep impact on Sein.

These experiences were significant enough to take decades for Sein to fully absorb and would undoubtedly influence his future understanding and conceptual framework profoundly.

After exploring Steel City, Sein used a teleportation array to reach a coastal city in the west.

It was almost time for him to meet up with Tourmaline again. Sein, who disliked being late, chose to arrive early rather than risk any delays.

It seemed like Steel City was not worried about this enigmatic giant either.

Although it might appear that Tourmaline was merely basking in the sun on the coast alone, others were likely observing this place discreetly.

Even Sein had probably come under the watchful eyes of certain entities within the Mamet Alliance and Steel City.

While Sein’s status as a Rank One being was modest, his mentor wielded considerable influence as a tower master.

Tourmaline was dozing lightly, but the dragon turtle stirred awake as Sein approached.

Before they parted ways, Tourmaline bestowed a blessing upon Sein—a shield robust enough to withstand most attacks.

Although it had not been activated in almost a year, Tourmaline could still instantly sense Sein’s presence through it.

However, this blessing was not everlasting since Tourmaline’s power was not as potent as its elder siblings.

In another half a year, this shield would completely dissipate.

Tourmaline’s dark and round eyes opened as the dragon turtle lifted its head from the sea surface.

“What brings you here so early?” Sein asked casually. Their conversations always flowed naturally.

Tourmaline puffed up its cheeks and replied in annoyance, “My fourth brother doesn't care about me at all. He’s left the Magus World for a world called... umm... the Grand Elven World.”

Sein had heard of that world before.

However, neither Sein nor Tourmaline knew why Tourmaline’s fourth brother, Black Oblivion, had gone there.

Black Oblivion was a troublemaker because it knew it could afford to be one.

Not only was its family formidable, but the few magic beast kings that had accompanied it when Sein first met them were also individually powerful.

Together, they formed a formidable force.

Sein had reason to believe that Black Oblivion had more allies than just the four magic beast kings he had met back then.
