“Excuse me, I’d like to join the White Robe Wizard Association. Who should I speak to?” The Holy Infant released a slight fluctuation of spiritual force, indicative of a Fifth-Circle Wizard.

The Fourth-Circle Wizards below looked startled and quickly replied, “May we know your name, my lord? Do you have a sponsor?”

The red-haired wizard before them exuded an extraordinary presence.

“No, I don’t,” the Holy Infant replied.

“My name is Mia. If you tell me your name, my lord, I’ll inform the headquarters and have someone come to escort you.” A Fourth-Circle Witch, who had reached the Perfection stage, smiled charmingly. She dressed in an exotic style, her attire revealing and provocative.

The Holy Infant, still a child at heart, was unaffected by her charms. He said, “My name is Ace. You can call me the Fire Dragon Wizard.”

...
Ace was the name Levi had used for his retired fire element, which the Holy Infant borrowed without hesitation.

“Very well, Lord Ace.” Witch Mia sent the message and kept glancing at the Holy Infant.

As they waited, Levi noticed the wizards burning the black beast corpses and asked, “Are you burning all these black beast corpses?”

“Yes,” Mia replied. “If these black beast corpses aren’t dealt with quickly, they’ll release corrosive power, which can pollute the elemental power here. The best method is to burn them. That’s why the organization has hired many wizards from the Burning Faction like myself to handle these bodies.”

Levi felt it was a waste but said nothing. He couldn’t reveal that he had a method to process black beast corpses, as it would only put him in danger. Moreover, he couldn’t purify large quantities of black beast corpses, only selectively handling the valuable ones for weapon refinement.

Before long, a white-robed figure hurried over. The Holy Infant recognized him—it was the Arctic Wizard.

“You must be the Fire Dragon Wizard. I’m the Arctic Wizard. Please, follow me.” The Arctic Wizard still wore a friendly smile.

Since they had only met briefly and the Holy Infant’s characteristic fire element wasn’t present, he didn’t recognize that the Fire Dragon Wizard was the Holy Infant.

“Thank you.”

The Holy Infant followed the Arctic Wizard to Gandaph Island.

He looked up at the towering, majestic statue and thought, “Impressive, they’ve captured the divine essence well.”

“Fifth-Circle Wizards joining the White Robe Wizard Association need the approval of three elders. Today, your interviewers will be Wizard Farrah, Red Bone Wizard, and Rust Dragon Wizard,” the Arctic Wizard explained.

The Holy Infant was inwardly speechless: “Two of the three interviewers are people I know. What luck…”

Council Chamber.

The atmosphere in the council chamber was tense. Three Fifth-Circle Wizards in the Perfection stage sat with solemn expressions. As the Holy Infant entered, he displayed a slight hint of nervousness—appropriate for a typical Fifth-Circle Wizard facing three Perfection-level wizards.

He noted that the spiritual force of the Red Bone Wizard seemed more immense than before, likely nearing 1000. Farrah’s was slightly less but still far superior to his own. The most inscrutable, however, was the dragon descendant wizard with a pitch-black horn on his forehead.

It was said that this wizard had lived for a thousand years, the typical lifespan of a Fifth-Circle Wizard. Yet, he still radiated vitality, indicating his end had not yet arrived.

“Indeed, the lifespan of dragon descendant wizards is longer than that of ordinary wizards. They could be considered a semi-longevity species. This means my lifespan, in theory, should be even longer. Perhaps not even a Sixth-Circle Wizard will outlive me,” the Holy Infant mused.

“Sir, you must be aware of our White Robe Wizard Association’s rules. Unlike other top organizations, we do not treat nomadic wizards as slaves. However, we expect you to join us with a cooperative and mutually beneficial attitude, rather than harboring ulterior motives. Otherwise, we Five Elders will not hesitate to act,” the Rust Dragon Wizard stated.

“I understand. I am here mainly to seek mutual support, using the wizard market here to exchange for the resources I need. I also have no fondness for top wizard organizations,” the Holy Infant replied.

“Our association’s Fifth-Circle Wizards are divided into three tiers. The first tier is the Five Elders Palace, all Perfection-level wizards responsible for overall coordination. The second tier is the White Robe Palace, where senior Fifth-Circle Wizards can join. Currently, there are ten members. The third tier is the Grey Robe Palace, composed of regular Fifth-Circle Wizards, with a total of twenty-four members. Given your strength, we will assign you a seat in the Grey Robe Palace. Here, you can practice freely as long as you don’t disrupt the market order. There are no restrictions, and you’ll receive a yearly stipend of Aether Stones as compensation. However, if the organization faces a crisis, your assistance will be required,” the Rust Dragon Wizard explained.

The Holy Infant nodded in agreement.

The three tiers—the Five Elders, White Robe, and Grey Robe Palaces—were all part of the upper echelon, differing only in status due to the disparity in power.

After successfully joining, the Arctic Wizard led the Holy Infant to the Grey Robe Palace, where he received an Identity Token. The Arctic Wizard then handed him a map.

“The Sea of Stars is vast. Our White Robe Wizard Association occupies only a small fraction. The green areas on the map are the explored regions, where resources have already been harvested. The black areas are currently being explored and are generally not very dangerous. The red areas, however, contain many powerful black beasts or other dangers. Even a Fifth-Circle Wizard typically needs a team to explore these areas. It’s best not to venture there alone,” he advised.
