Earth's Greatest Magus

For a moment, the sight of a figure in a silver dress stunned him, making him unable to say a word.

”You look…. Nice.” Even though Emery felt a bit awkward, he still complimented the beautiful girl standing in front of him.

When the white-haired girl heard his compliment, she sweetly smiled. As if an epitome of confidence blossomed within her, ”You look nice as well…” Her smile made Emery almost forget asking the girl about the White Fang issues or asking about meeting them.

Seeing the girl beaming with delight, he did not want to ruin the mood for her.

Hence, for the time being, Emery decided to put off the subject for a while longer and followed her in the vehicle instead.

As the vehicle flew through the air, Emery realized that instead of the two magus who had been protecting them, it seemed like they had been given an additional four magus now. At the time, they were being safeguarded by six of them.

Without putting too much thought into it, Emery stared at the beautiful young lady who was sitting in front of him.

The girl, who usually talked a lot and was known for her boisterous demeanor, seemed to become much more quiet than she used to be. Silva, without a doubt, acted in an unusual manner towards him.

Little did Emery know that the girl was actually quite taken aback by his new look that she was at a loss for words. In fact, she had been trying her best to calm herself down ever since she saw him.

Half an hour later, the two of them seemed to have finally arrived at their destination. Emery couldn’t hide his surprise when he realized they actually headed to a huge field where a few spaceships were waiting.

”We are going off the planet?!” Emery asked with a slightly surprised tone.

”Yes, we are!” Silva exclaimed with joy.

Emery remembered that since the problem with the bloodline, the serpent bloodline had seen turning off the portal gate and restricting any travel in and out of the planet. The portal gate was unable to be used for a period of time.

That was why, perhaps, the only way to travel at the moment was just simply using a spaceship.

Without asking further questions, Emery followed Silva entering the ship. The six magus also quickly followed suit. They started to fly off the planet in a matter of seconds after that.

”So, how far are we going?” Emery inquired.

Emery was a little worried because he had absolutely no idea where this white-haired girl would take him. Realizing Emery’s concern, Silva tried to reassure him.

”Don’t worry, it’s not that far. We will get there right at lunchtime.”

When he heard that, Emery nodded and just sat as he waited for them to arrive at the destination. Not long after, the spaceship they were in had reached out to space.

Emery could see the green planet of Ouroboros out the window. A split second later, a sound came out of a device mounted on the wall.

”We are about to execute a warp jump in one minute.”

After that announcement, there was an increasing ringing sound coming from the back of the ship. The sound from the device also changed, turning into a countdown.

”5… 4… 3… 2… 1…”

The moment the sound voiced one, the ship abruptly started to tremble violently. Emery could clearly feel that it was speeding up. However, it did not last long, as within less than a second, the turbulence disappeared and the sense of stability returned.

Emery had felt this movement before, when he was locked on the ship heading toward Ouroboros, but it was only now that Silva explained what had just happened earlier that he finally understood.

Warp drive was a technology that made a ship capable of traveling between galaxies.

In the universe, there were billions of planets, millions of solar systems, tens of thousands galaxies, hundreds superclusters and the 9 realms.

If previously all of these things could only be learned through reading during his elite class study, right now Silva was showing him by experience.

Indeed, the warp drive did speed up their journey, however, even after it had been activated, it did not imply that they would arrive at their destination instantly. In fact, it would still take them hours to reach where they were going.

On the good side, during the trip, the two of them had a good friendly talk, without realizing the tension between them had finally gone.

”So… you have met my family, my city and my planet… Now tell me about yours. I’d like to know.”

The girl’s question actually came as a surprise to him. As she expressed strong interest to hear about his primitive world, Emery found it to be even more passionate and started to talk about Earth.

Emery ended up telling her many things from the 7 Kingdoms at Briton, the other countries around the globe such as: Rome, China, Egypt and so on.

He explained how there were still many more that he actually had not yet had the opportunity to explore. However, he was enthralled by the rich cultural heritage.

Noticing how excited Emery was in recounting his world, Silva chuckled. Emery stopped his explanation and looked at her. Realizing this, she smiled, ”I guess you will love where we are going then.”

Hearing such words made Emery’s interest peak. He tried to glean some information about their destination from her. Alas, she was simply too tight-lipped.

Silva vehemently refused to spill any information about the location to Emery, no matter how hard he tried. She wanted to let him find out the answer for himself once they had arrived there.

As soon as the ship finally managed to exit the warp drive, Emery quickly looked out of the glass window and asked,

”So, which planet are we visiting? What does it look like?” Emery asked again, because curiosity had completely piqued him.

However, the girl only smiled and replied, ”Who said anything about a planet?”

Again, instead of getting the answer to his question, Emery was even more confused by the beautiful girl’s reply. Due to the fact that she did not want Emery to become any more curious and questioning, Silva brought him to the front of the ship - what lied before him just gave him another shock.

It was definitely a construct of metal, but it had such abstract shapes. He had to ask since he was perplexed by the peculiar view, he almost thought that his eyes were playing a trick on him.

”That thing is humongous, isn’t it?” Emery asked as if he could not believe it.

”Yes it is,” Silva confirmed with a chuckle.

Emery had already seen a space station before, but this one was definitely multiple times bigger than the one he had seen floating above the Hyperion privilege class planet.

There were hundreds of ships that were actually flying in and out of it at any given time. There were so many that it appeared as if the entire sky of the city was filled with ships.

”Emery, this is the reason why I was kinda insisting on asking you to go. This is Alfa, the city of a thousand planets. It has been circling around the 3 neutral realms for thousands of years and it was currently near the Ouroboros galaxy.”

Even Silva herself was amazed when she saw this city, while she was explaining it to Emery. Her admiration for the city continued, ”You will not find a better place to buy things than here.”
