“Miss Nausica!” Sailum greeted her happily.
Nausica looked up, “Ah, you came too.”
“Yup. I wonder how Brute Cavern looks like. They said wizard organizations are all secretly built and that mortals can’t find the entrances,” said Sailum. He looked full of expectation as he continued, “My mother used to tell me about the story of the Moon Castle. Maybe Brute Cavern is like that, which only shows itself under the moonlight?”
“Who knows? Maybe. When I was at Blackberry Waters, I heard a rumor that an organization was built on coral clusters. I wanted to go find it before. I’ve never expected that my destiny would bring me to Brute Cavern instead,” Nausica replied.
“Wizards on corals… That sounds so fantastic,” Sailum began his imagination again.
“An organization on corals? You mean White Coral Floating Island Academy?” Angor spoke.
“Oh, something like that. Why? You know about them, Angor?” Nausica wondered.
Angor smiled, “Just like you, I was following a guide to the academy. Then something changed my destination, and now I’m going to Brute Cavern as well.”
“You’re luckier than me. I didn’t have a guide. I was totally wandering my way about to find this… White Coral Floating Island Academy,” Nausica let out another smoke ring. She then said, “I was too naive. If I didn’t find something along the way, I would have perished at the bottom of the sea.”
Considering what she saw on Devil’s Water, those boundless thunderclouds… She should totally be worried.
“Angor, do you know if White Coral Floating Island Academy is a colorful place like the Moon Castle?” Sailum asked eagerly.
Angor shook his head, “I never went there, but I saw the picture of another wizard organization from a book. It’s called Floating Mech City, a giant metal city floating above the clouds. Only supernaturals can reach that place while mortals can only look up at it on the ground.”
As the most famous trading city in the southern wizard world, Floating Mech City was open to all wizards. Of course, there were pictures of it in all kinds of books.
“A city on the clouds! That sounds more fun than an academy on corals,” Sailum had stars shining in his eyes now. He was dreaming of going through the clouds and see the vast city at the end of the sky which released an attractive beam of light.
Apart from Floating Mech City, Angor also went to Nether City, so he briefly told them something about the ancient wizard ruins which were later called the “Garden of Labyrinth”.
Wizards living on top of corals, a metal fortress among the clouds, a city combining mazes and gardens… Their imaginations went wild.
“I wonder what Brute Cavern is like?” Sailum believed that, as one of the top ten organizations in the south, surely Brute Cavern would bring him lots of surprises.
However, he would be disappointed soon.
