Chapter 11

Including Adam, the five apprentices had imagined what kind of method the mage would use to bring them out of the North. Perhaps he would use some mysterious tool that they had never heard of or seen before, or perhaps he would use some kind of magic. But when the moment came, they couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Flying was the oldest dream of those who lived on the ground. Everyone had once looked up at the sky and yearned for the birds. Today, the apprentices experienced the feeling of flying.

"Well then, let's go." As soon as Mage Black finished speaking, everyone floated up together with their bags. They rose higher and higher until they reached the horizon. Then, like an arrow, they shot towards the south.

The people on the ground were stunned. After a short moment of silence, they screamed crazily. Even they didn't know the meaning of their screams, but no one cared. They just needed to vent the clamor in their hearts because they had seen a miracle.

In the mayor's mansion, Earl Johnson quietly listened to the noise on the street. After a while, he ordered Knight Wayne and Knight Wright, "Drive the crowd away and restore order."

The two knights obeyed and pacified the restless crowd. Then, Knight Wright sighed and said, "It's different now."

When the people in the manor heard that Ophelia and Adam had left, they all had different feelings. Marshall and Dennis were relieved, but they were also jealous. Joe the bearded man sat on the ground, his heart blank.

In the stable, Dark Cloud used its hooves to drive away groups of servants who were feeding it. It kept hitting the wooden fence with its horn. Finally, it broke free from the reins and smashed the wooden gate. No one dared to stop Ophelia's warhorse. Dark Cloud rushed out of the manor's gate and rushed towards the south with a sad cry. Soon, it disappeared.

In the sky, Mage Black's expression was calm. The four apprentices were trembling in fear. They looked at the ground that had become a black spot under their feet and didn't dare to move.

Adam was an exception. He didn't have the concept of fear, so he took the initiative to move. He found that there was a layer of membrane under his feet. He stretched out his hands and felt around. He also felt the existence of the membrane. It seemed that this membrane was supporting them and blocking the wind caused by their high-speed movement.

The other four apprentices stared at Adam, and when they saw that he did not fall, they mustered up their courage to move. The joy of flying soon covered up their fear, and they walked around the membrane curiously.

"Is this magic? That's amazing! "Kristel jumped up and exclaimed in shock and admiration.

"You can say yes, but you can also say no." Mage Black explained, "This is the power of knowledge, a derivative effect of magic. It doesn't need a special set of runes to construct it."

Adam instantly understood what Mage Black was trying to say. In other words, this method of flying was just a derivative of some kind of magic program. As long as the program was completed, it would naturally be able to do this.

Mage Black continued, "The World of Sorcerers is a vast place. It's getting bigger every second. Official Sorcerers can travel through the teleportation circles everywhere, but your bodies can't withstand the pressure. Also, you haven't lived in a high-magic environment before, so you need to travel to the Continent of Sorcerers slowly and gradually adapt to the high-magic environment. "

Although they did not understand, they felt that it was amazing. Adam blinked. He could not understand what Mage Black meant by 'grow bigger'. Could it be …

Adam looked at the ground and found that this world was not a sphere! The World of Sorcerers, or rather the Plane of Sorcerers, was actually flat!

Ophelia asked, "Honorable Mage Black, what does' grow bigger 'mean?"

This time, Mage Black did not mention the price. He said directly, "This question will be explained in detail when you arrive at the academy. I'll explain it briefly. You should have heard of Prometheus, the Great Necromancer, and Anicroft, the World Guardian, right? "

Everyone nodded. Even Adam had heard of these two names from Ophelia.

"About twenty thousand years ago, the World of Sorcerers was a small plane. The Sorcerers fought among themselves for the limited resources. However, the resources were depleted day by day, and the Sorcerers' Plane was on the decline. The two Great Necromancers started a revolution. They used their great knowledge to change the nature of the plane. They stopped the consumption of resources by plundering from the outside world, and used an incredible spell to replenish themselves. This was the reason why the Sorcerers are the Plane Destroyers today. "

"Plane Sacrifice, this is the name of the great spell. As for the theory behind it, let alone you, even I don't understand it. "Mage Black praised.

The apprentices were fascinated. With their shallow knowledge and vision, they could not imagine what kind of great power it was. They could not help but look forward to the future. Sorcerers were really a fascinating name.

After a while, Mage Black saw that the apprentices had adapted to flying. He said, "I'm going to speed up. We need to reach the southern port of this continent before evening and meet up with the other instructors of the academy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the flying speed suddenly increased. The violent sound of the explosion was ear-piercing even though they were inside the membrane. The strong airflow outside the membrane was clearly visible to the naked eye.

"Breaking through the sound barrier …" Mage Black's flying speed suddenly increased. Miraculously, the apprentices inside the membrane did not feel any discomfort.

The acceleration did not stop. Adam spread out his power of the will to observe. He found that the shape of the membrane changed from a hemispherical shape to a smooth and aerodynamic shape. Even more miraculously, Mage Black used some unknown method to gather the airflow in front of him in one direction and turned it into kinetic energy, increasing the speed again.

After a few seconds, the flying speed stabilized. The noise filled the apprentices' ears. They had to raise their voices to make themselves heard, which made them fall silent.

"Our current speed is about Mach 8." Adam's face was expressionless, but his heart was full of admiration. The power of magic had refreshed his understanding. He could not believe that there was someone who could fly at such a high speed without relying on any equipment. Moreover, it seemed like they were doing it with ease.

Time gradually passed. Because they were flying at high speed inside the membrane, they were not sensitive to the changes in temperature. However, when they looked down, they could see that the white color on the ground had faded and was replaced by green. After nearly three hours of flying, the apprentices left the North.

It was hard to imagine how big the Sorcerers' World was. According to Mage Black, the North seemed to be an island. The only way to get to the Sorcerers' Continent was to take a boat. With the limited ability and lifespan of an ordinary person, they could only stay in one place for their entire life.

At noon, the apprentices took out the food in their bags. Adam was still unprepared, but he was not hungry. The energy stored in his body was enough to last him for three days without practicing the breathing technique. Ophelia, on the other hand, did not need to eat.

Mage Black also did not seem to want to eat. Adam even noticed that mages did not need to breathe.

Even though the apprentices found that the mage did not eat, they did not dare to offer him the coarse food. However, when Corestal saw Adam sitting alone, she plucked up her courage and walked in front of Adam. She pointed her finger at him and pointed at her hamburger-like food.

Adam was expressionless.

Corestal thought that Adam did not know what she meant, so she took a step forward and shouted, "If you don't mind, I can share my food with you. My mother specially prepared this for me this morning. There's meat in it."

Adam did not accept the girl's kindness. As a knight, he naturally had the means to transmit his voice accurately. He said in a normal tone, "Thank you, but it's okay. I'm a knight. I don't need to eat for the time being."

Adam's words were appropriate. After hearing Adam's rejection, the girl's mood returned to normal. She still felt inferior about her identity as a commoner, so she was very sensitive. She thought that Adam did not like her food.

"So you're a knight! You're so powerful, just like Miss Ophelia. " Corestal admired Ophelia very much. Not only was she a noble, but she was also powerful. Everyone in the North knew that. She was also polite and had a noble temperament. "What a perfect person." Corestal thought enviously more than once.

Since she got the answer, Corestal ate alone.

Ophelia, who was standing motionless, heard the conversation between the two. She remembered Earl Johnson's warning last night and could not help but feel a little absent-minded.

She did not know what she was thinking. Like? That was impossible. If she really liked him, she would not have left him alone for seven years. Then what was it?

Ophelia analyzed herself in the biting wind and finally got an answer that she did not want to admit.

"It's probably the disappointment of losing something that belongs to me. Just like losing an item? Or a pet that ran away? Heh, I really am a noble. How despicable. "Ophelia mocked herself in her heart.

Adam did not know what Ophelia was thinking. Of course, even if he knew, he would not care.

Two hours later, Adam looked into the distance and could already see the blue ocean. The city below his feet flashed by. This flight was about to come to an end.

After another half an hour, Mage Black slowed down and gradually landed. Below them was a huge city that was far more prosperous than Cold Maple City in the North. There were rows upon rows of ships in the harbor, and they did not have sails.

"It's not a sailboat. That's right. The world is so big. How can a ship cross the ocean with the outdated wind power?" Adam thought to himself.

The few of them landed on the ground. The surrounding people immediately retreated and respectfully made way for them. However, they did not panic. It seemed that in the southern harbor city, mages were not that rare.

At this time, Mage Black's voice sounded, "We'll rest here and wait for the other mages in the academy to meet up. During this time, you can stay in the duke's mansion or move around freely. However, it's best not to go too far. If you miss the time to leave, no one will wait for you."
