The next day, the puppet Edward used his VIP 6 privilege to book a tier 7 flying boat to go to Silverleaf Floating City.
“Have you got everything you need?” Maximus asked his family as they got ready on the way.
“Yeah, there isn’t much. It’s all in the storage ring,” Irene replied.
“Then let’s go!”
Maximus, his family, and his puppet fake teacher Edward arrived at the flying boat prepared for them.
…
Three days later, the flying boat arrived in the vicinity of Silverleaf Floating City.
“Wow!” Max exclaimed.
“How magical,” Liam said.
His wives and children were amazed by the floating city.
Well, it’s not much of a city; it’s more like a continent.
Just by looking at its sheer size, Maximus was sure it was much bigger than the sunburnt plateau.
“Look at that big tower,” Lyla said, pointing to the tower in the center of the floating city.
“I wonder how tall it is,” Lily asked in wonder, as she can’t see the end of the tower.
“That’s the Silverleaf Arcane Tower,” introduced the middle-aged man who was in charge of them on this journey.𝔬𝐕𝗅xt.𝗇t
“It is said that, if it weren’t for the poor visibility, you could see that tower from any place in Silverneaf Domain.”
“That’s amazing,” Maximus muttered to himself.
He also wanted a tall tower overlooking his entire territory just by the side of his window.
After a while, the flying boat docked near one of the islands that floated alongside the city.
“I’m sorry, but this is the farthest I can take you. It’s forbidden for private vessels to fly through the city,” the steward of the flying boat said.
“That’s alright,” Edward said.
“Then we’ll see you again,” Edward said, leading them outside.
“Bye-bye, Uncle,” his little kids said as they waved their little hands.
…
Coming out, they were greeted by a mass of people coming in and out of their flying vessels.
“Do you need any service, esteemed guests?” a man asked as he saw them just getting out of the boat.
“How do we get to the city?” Maximus asked as he tossed a piece of magic crystal.
“You can take the special traction alchemy device after you register,” the man said, examining the piece of magic crystal he had just received.
“Alright, then take us to the registration process,” Maximus said, handing over 10 magic crystals.
…
They then proceeded with a simple registration process, presenting their personal tokens and confirming the signature imprints on them.
They were also asked which place in the outer city they would like to land, after paying some fees.
“Just stand in the center and wait for the others,” the lady who was assisting them said coldly.
They didn’t say anything and silently made their way to the traction circle, waiting for the others.
…
After a while, when there were about 100 people in the circle, the traction device lit up.
With a flash, they were propelled toward the city, defying gravity in a split second.
If it weren’t for his powerful spirit, Maximus wouldn’t even know how they had traveled.
His wives and children were also shocked by the sudden change in environment as if they had been transported to another world in the blink of an eye.
While they were wondering what to do, their husband’s teacher spoke up.
“Follow me,” Edward said, pulling out the token that projected a guide to his store.
The part of the city where they landed was close to the shop, so after walking for a few minutes, they arrived at their destination.
It was quite remote, which made it affordable.
Otherwise, how could someone with a Tier 5 identity own property in the capital city of this domain?
“How is it?” Maximus asked Edward, gesturing for him to remove the barrier that was blocking the shop.
Edward, understanding his host’s request, promptly removed the shop barrier, revealing a towering three-story pavilion.
“It’s barely enough,” Maximus thought, looking at the small shop.
“Anyway, it’s only for earning money, so the front isn’t important,” Maximus thought to himself.
“The mana here is so dense, comparable to a Tier 7 mana environment,” one of his wives, Rose, remarked.
“Yes, I noticed that too. Even the wilderness outside the city has a Tier 6 mana environment,” Angela, who was standing beside her, nodded in agreement.
“Of course, it’s the center of the SilverLeaf Domain, gathering all the mana from the entire domain. It’s no wonder it has such dense mana,” Maximus explained as he overheard their conversation.
“Furthermore, have you noticed that we’re only in the outer city? In the inner city, the mana environment is Tier 8.”
“And as for the core of the city, where the ruler of the SilverLeaf Domain resides, it’s an outright Tier 9 mana environment.”
“It’s really rich,” Lily, who was becoming a money-loving child, exclaimed.
“They didn’t spend money to create this; it’s all-natural, unlike in the Curse Continent,” Liam countered his sister.
To have a more in-depth conversation with Amara, his little crush, Liam asked his father for more basic knowledge about the situation in the Curse Continent.
So Liam knows a little about the situation of the Curse Continent.
“Don’t envy it too much. The Origin Domain has Tier 9 mana throughout,” Maximus said, intervening to stop their argument.
As the center of the Arcane Continent, or even the entire Etherium Realm.
Origin Domain can be said to have limitless resources, not to mention a Tier 9 mana environment.
“Wow! Are we going to live there?” Lily asked, her eyes lighting up.
“Yes, you just need to wait for your father and mothers to pass the academy’s tests,” Maximus replied.
Not everyone can live in the Origin Continent.
Only teachers of the academies or powerhouses at Tier 8 and above can have a permanent address there.
As for students, they can live there until they reach Tier 6 in their realm.
Provided they achieve remarkable results in the academy’s tests, they would be provided with a temporary private land, were they can do what they wanted.
That is also Maximus’s goal. Otherwise, the kids can only live here.
But he didn’t worry too much because if he, with his cheat, couldn’t achieve much in the tests, then who could?
“Come inside, let’s see the interior,” Edward said, interrupting their conversation.
The building had three floors, with the first floor being the main shop
The second floor served as the living and entertainment room as Maximus had specified.
And the third floor houses the master bedroom along with various rooms such as a mechanic room and an alchemist room, etc.
…
On the second floor, Maximus and his family were eating while his fake teacher tidied up the first floor, preparing to sell potions.
“When are we going to the Origin Domain?” Erica asked as she ate.
“In a few days to a week. Let me scout the place for a while,” Maximus said.
He didn’t know the environment there and he didn’t want to bring his family without making any preparations.
It was okay for them to stay here, and with the puppet providing protection as a guarantee, they would be safe from miscellaneous troubles.
As for something that could endanger their lives, that was out of the question.
In over a thousand years, there hadn’t been a single abnormal death in the Silverleaf Floating City.
Actually, in any city in the Arcane Continent there is not much danger.
This was all thanks to the absolute rule of the top three organizations in the continent.
As for their goal, Maximus didn’t know, but as of now, because of such rules, there were already billions of trillions of people on the whole continent.
Almost as many as the planets and stars in the universe in his previous world.
…
The next day,
“Take care, dear,” his wives said.
“Don’t worry, I will just take a look and won’t go to dangerous places,” Maximus reassured them.
“Take care, Daddy,” his children said as they hugged him.
“Thank you,” Maximus said as he hugged each of them tightly.
This was an unknown place for them, so being separated from the pillar of the family much be very stressful.
“You should behave yourselves. If you need anything, come to Grandpa Edward,” he said.
“Don’t worry, Dad. We’ll be good kids,” Max said, puffing out his little chest.
Edward, the puppet, flickered his eyes, entering full protection mode.
…
After walking for a while, Maximus boarded a flying boat.
“Just take me to the Dimensional Teleportation Terminal,” Maximus said as he took out his token and inserted it into the payment port.
“Initiating… Dimensional Teleportation Terminal…” an AI voice sounded.
Private vehicles and flying were banned here, so the only option was to board these autonomous flying ships.
After a few minutes, perhaps because this autonomous flying ship was connected to the city’s formation, its speed almost reached that of a Tier 7 vehicle, despite being made of low-tier materials.
As Maximus stepped out, he was greeted by a long line that stretched as far as his eyes could see.
It must have been because it was close to the time of academy enrollment.
After a moment of thought, he took out his token and contacted the EGCC personnel using his VIP privilege of on-call service.
“Excuse me, do you know how I can skip the queue to go to the Origin Domain?” Maximus asked straightforwardly.
“There are two ways, sir. First, you can pay a hundred thousand magic crystals and wait a day for all the VIPs to be teleported together”
“Second, you can pay one million magic crystals to use it right away,” the personnel explained.
“Then give me the second option,” Maximus said, not having time to wait.
Anyway, it was only equivalent to 1 billion GP, which he could easily afford.
“Right away, sir. We will come to your position in a minute…”
…
After various procedures and payments, he was finally led to the teleportation formation, together with thousands of others.
Then the formation lit up within a few seconds, transporting them to the center of the Arcane Continent—the Origin Domain.
