“I love it!”
Link truly loved this gift.
He had witnessed the power of the Star-annihilating Cannon. Although it was not as powerful as the Light of Annihilation, it was second only to it.
Among all the Attack Magic Tools he had come across, the Star-annihilating Cannon was already ranked second in terms of power.
If there was any drawback, the only one would be that it used up too much Magic Stone energy.
Scratching his head, he felt happy but also a bit worried about how to generate wealth.
“You’re welcome, this time I can regain hope of advancing to the rank of Sage and you have contributed a lot to it. This is my thank-you gift,” Wand Wizard Cody said with a happy smile on his face, a stark contrast to his previous serious, expressionless demeanor.
The Metamorphosis Period is indeed a magical stage.
It allows wizards to face their real selves and allows the outside world to see the true side of wizards.
Only authenticity can resonate.
“Thank you, Wizard Cody.”
Link accepted the gift with grace, expressing his gratitude politely.
Then, without hesitation, he took out the “Celestial Shuttle”.
He commanded the Intelligent Maintenance Puppets and related equipment inside the interstellar battleship to disassemble the original main cannon of the latest “Hummingbird” class starship and set up the Star-annihilating Cannon.
This Star-annihilating Cannon was obviously designed to fit the “Hummingbird”-class specifications, adjusting size and related parameters.
The installation went smoothly, with no compatibility issues whatsoever.
Wizard Cody observed the process, then reminded him, “After the Magic Stones are used up, take them out and put them in the Energy Storage Device. Bask it in the sunlight to replenish ‘magic power’.”
“Energy Storage Device?”
This was the first time Link heard of such a thing.
“You don’t know?”
Wizard Cody asked in surprise, “Didn’t you see the relevant instructions after acquiring the starship?”
“No.”
Link shook his head.
Wizard Cody pondered for a moment and then speculated,
“This could be due to your short promotion time and limited access to information. The Energy Storage Device is an essential energy conversion Magic Tool for interstellar travel. It can absorb the radiation emitted by stars in the universe and replenish the used Magic Stones, converting them into Special Magic Power that wizards cannot use directly, but can be used as power for the warship.”
Link understood immediately.
Turns out the wizards had already considered “solar energy”, making use of clean energy.
He thought, with so many starships burning Magic Stones, even with abundant Resource Worlds, the Magic Stone mines in the Wizard World would eventually be exhausted.
So, the main power source of the starships was mostly “solar energy”.
Then why use Magic Stones in the first place?
Link was puzzled, so he asked.
Wizard Cody explained, “Because the warship needs an adaptation process. After traveling in the universe for a while, getting used to the complex cosmic rays, and then using Magic Stones that have been stored in the Energy Storage Device, it can avoid problems and extend the life of the warship.”
“I see.”
Link nodded his understanding, though sensing that the real reason might not be that simple.
However, he didn’t want to delve deeper, because further exploration would mean more time consuming study of Alchemy.
Time was precious.
By then, the Star-annihilating Cannon was fully installed, the original main cannon was transported to the warehouse for storage.
Having a spare main cannon was a good backup. Even though it wasn’t as powerful, it could come in handy in certain situations.
Packing up the upgraded “Celestial Shuttle”, Link asked, “Where can I purchase the Energy Storage Device?”
Wizard Cody replied, “You can contact the manufacturer of the ‘Hummingbird’ class starship directly. They should have contacted you proactively. There must have been some oversight in the process since you haven’t been contacted so far.”
Hmm…
Link noticed the second change in Wizard Cody since he entered the Metamorphosis Period.
The way he spoke and the length of his words had greatly changed from his previous reticent self.
After thanking Wizard Cody, Link planned to inquire with the starship manufacturer as soon as he returned, so he could get the Energy Storage Device set up and put the Magic Stones that were depleted of magic power during the test drive of the “Celestial Shuttle” to use.
“Oh yes, there’s some news I need to tell you in advance,”
Wizard Cody paused on his way back to his car, turned around, and said seriously, “In a while, the academy will organize several teams to participate in a competition. If you have time, you can prepare in advance.”
“A competition? What competition?”
Link was genuinely clueless about this sudden competition.
“It’s a competition among several Wizard Organizations in the Mitchell District, limited to First-Class Official Wizards. The competition results will determine the ranking of the Wizard Organizations, which is related to resource allocation by the Supreme Council. It has just been finalized and the news has not been announced yet. I am letting you know in advance so you can be prepared.”
“Ranking? What sort of ranking? Why is it limited to First-Class Official Wizards?”
“This competition is used to test the blood-making ability of the Wizard Organizations, that is, the quality of their education. Therefore, it is limited to First-Class Official Wizards, and teams with younger average age are more likely to receive policy favors during the competition.”
“I see.”
After hearing Wizard Cody’s explanation, Link got a vague initial understanding of this competition that he hadn’t heard anything about before.
