Chapter 641: Chapter 462: An Invitation to the Two Legendary Mages
"Boy, what did you say?"
Master Wendel had a more fiery temper. He was the first to speak, his voice booming like a great bell.
"You know its origin?"
Faced with the intangible pressure from the two Legendary Mages, Raylo’s expression remained unchanged as he nodded calmly.
"I know a thing or two."
He didn’t keep them in suspense and immediately dropped an even bigger bombshell.
"It comes from a world called the ’Cloud Sea Realm.’ It’s a world with no land, no oceans, only an endless sea of clouds. And in that world, the ’Celestial Claw’ is its ruler—the apex predator at the top of the food chain."
Cloud Sea Realm.
The expressions on their faces swiftly shifted from scrutiny to shock, and finally, to a nearly fanatical yearning.
"A... a world made of a sea of clouds?"
Mage Delin muttered to himself.
"This subverts the fundamental Laws of world composition... How do the Elements balance? How does life evolve?"
"A natural-born Space Traveler..."
Master Wendel, on the other hand, stared intently at the Celestial Claw’s corpse, his eyes burning with fervor.
"No wonder! No wonder its body structure is so peculiar! Its bones, its muscles—they were all made to adapt to high-intensity space travel! This is the most perfect creation!"
"If I’m not mistaken, this creature called the ’Celestial Claw’ uses the Cloud Sea Realm as its own nursery. The young live in the Cloud Sea Realm, and after reaching adulthood, they venture into the void."
"This creature’s power is beyond the imagination of us Mortals. The void must be their true hunting ground!"
The two Legendary Mages, who had been completely stoic just moments before, could no longer maintain their composure.
They strode quickly over to Raylo, surrounding him.
"Boy, what else do you know? Spit it out!"
Master Wendel was growing impatient.
Raylo looked at their fanatical expressions and chuckled inwardly. ’The fish have taken the bait.’
In the time that followed, Raylo selectively revealed information about the Cloud Sea Realm to the two Legendary Mages—information he had obtained from his daily intelligence briefings and the Cloud Sea Giant Whale.
He described the Cloud Sea Giant Whales that roamed the Cloud Sea, the various strange creatures that fed on the plants within the cloud layers, and, of course, he placed special emphasis on the ’Celestial Claw’ species, the apex predators.
The two Legendary Mages listened, utterly captivated. They would gasp in amazement one moment, fall into deep thought the next, and then argue endlessly over some minor detail.
Their eyes shone with the purest curiosity and longing for an unknown world.
"Incredible! Truly incredible!"
Mage Delin stroked his white beard, overcome with emotion.
"If I could find that world’s Space Anchor Point, I would have to see it with my own eyes—to see how the starry sky above that Cloud Sea differs from our own world’s!"
"Exactly!"
Master Wendel also wore a wistful expression.
Seeing that the two Legendary Mages were now completely hooked, Raylo knew the time was right.
He changed the subject, speaking in a seemingly casual tone.
"Masters, if we wish to understand the Cloud Sea Realm, perhaps... we don’t need to search for that illusory Space Anchor Point."
Master Wendel’s gaze shot toward him.
"Boy, what do you mean by that?"
Mage Delin also wiped the longing from his face and watched Raylo quietly, waiting for him to continue.
Raylo didn’t answer directly, but instead posed another question.
"Masters, you must have also noticed that recently, the space throughout the entire Black Stone Mountain Range has become extremely unstable."
As soon as he said this, the expressions of both Legendary Mages turned grim.
Master Wendel snorted.
"Unstable is an understatement. The strength of the Space Barrier has decreased by at least thirty percent compared to normal. Delin and I, two old codgers, got together precisely because of this matter."
Mage Delin nodded and added.
"According to my calculations, this is only the beginning. In about a month, the Black Stone Mountain Range will be plunged into an unprecedented spatial storm."
His tone carried a trace of deep worry.
"For the creatures living in this mountain range, it will be a catastrophe."
Raylo looked at them and finally revealed his first objective.
"My territory, the Black Stone Territory, is located on the edge of the Black Stone Mountain Range. It will bear the brunt of this spatial storm."
He bowed slightly to the two Legendary Mages, his tone sincere.
"Therefore, I implore you, Masters, to relocate to the Black Stone Territory. On one hand, it is to take refuge from this coming disaster. A Magic Tower may be solid, but it is not absolutely safe in the face of a spatial storm. On the other hand, I also hope to borrow your wisdom to face this crisis together."
The two Legendary Mages glanced at each other but didn’t answer immediately.
Raylo’s proposal was reasonable, but it wasn’t enough to move these two old men who rarely left their nests.
They had spent their entire lives in the company of Magic and truth; danger was something they had long grown accustomed to.
In fact, deep down, they even held a faint sense of anticipation, an eagerness to study and explore the coming spatial storm.
Raylo saw their expressions and knew the heat wasn’t quite high enough yet.
He smiled and threw out a piece of bait they absolutely could not refuse.
"Of course, there is another very important reason for inviting you, Masters."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the two Legendary Mages, and said slowly.
"My territory, as it happens, has subdued a Magical Beast from the Cloud Sea Realm."
"A living Cloud Sea Giant Whale."
