“When I mastered the Domain, the high-ranking ice spirit Ernest came out and made a contract with me. Whenever I need his help, I just need to open my Domain, and he will appear. Mastering the Domain doesn’t necessarily mean you can leave the Wishing Tower, not until I met your father.” Old Magician Greg looked at Amy and said.

“There is only one door in the Wishing Tower, and magicians inside the barrier cannot know its location. Only one person is an exception—

—Lake Harper. He is not a magician, so he cannot see the barrier. According to him, he saw me on the 7th floor of the Wishing Tower and always wanted to talk to me, but I was inside the barrier and couldn’t see him at all. After I was able to use the Domain, by pure chance, my Domain and the barrier completely overlapped and enveloped him, and we were finally able to communicate.”

Later, Lake Harper brought Greg to the gate and let him leave the Wishing Tower.

Grand Magician, oh, to be precise, Ocean Magician Greg opened his own barrier belt, drew out a completely snow-white two-handed longsword from it, and handed it to Amy.

“This longsword, according to your father, was placed on the door when he entered the Wishing Tower, and the high-ranking ice spirit Ernest, out of boredom, enchanted it with some magic. Your father asked me to bring it to you,” Greg said.

“What about my dad? Didn’t he come out with you?”

“No, you must rely on the power of your own barrier to open the gate of the Wishing Tower. Your father doesn’t know magic...

But don’t worry, I left him a few magic books. I think after some time, he’ll be able to have his own barrier. Hmm, the high-ranking ice spirit is very interested in him, so maybe he’ll help him. Aren’t you going to take a closer look at the little gift your father gave you?” Greg said.

“Oh, this sword feels very light.” Amy easily picked it up with one hand and spun it twice. “If it weren’t for the size of a two-handed sword, I’d think it was a one-handed sword.”

“Greg, I’ve seen this sword before, but it’s strange—the shape is the same as before, but the color is different. It used to be black, how did it turn snow-white?” Ethan Brooks had seen this sword before.

“Hehe, there are about 30 Grand Magician in the Wishing Tower, each with their own barrier, and the high spirits’ barriers are even stronger. This sword was always used as the latch on the Wishing Tower’s door, which means it overlapped with everyone’s barrier. So, every day it was bathed in wind and snow, and with the high spirit’s ice magic, it underwent a fundamental change. First, it became lighter, because its internal structure changed; second, this sword now has a name: Ice Blade. As long as you know its name, you can freely cast the first-level ice spell ‘Ice Blade’; finally, as long as the weapon’s owner has enough magic power to match the weapon, they can cast all offensive ice spells. If you make a contract with a high-ranking ice spirit, you can even summon the Domain of Ice—this sword doesn’t need any magic to be sealed inside it.” Old Magician lowered his voice.

“Amazing!” Amy was a little reluctant to put it down.

“By the way, Amy, are you willing to learn magic?” Greg asked cautiously.

“Yes, absolutely!”

On the side, the disgruntled Imperial Noble pouted and muttered, “I knew you had an ulterior motive, turns out you’re here to steal my disciple.”

Old Magician patted Ethan Brooks on the shoulder. “Young man, there are many things you don’t know yet. Amy must learn magic. Time will tell everything.”

“Amy, I’ve never taken a disciple before. You are my first, and I think probably my last. Ethan Brooks’s training has given you a strong physique, which will help you greatly in learning magic. I hope... no... I require you to surpass me and become a Nature Magician. This is also your father’s wish for you.” Old Magician said with a serious face.

“All right, if it’s convenient for you, let’s go to Dragon Tooth Mountain together. I’ve heard that green dragons have been appearing there frequently lately. I want to see if I can make a contract with them.”

For the first time traveling far from home, Amy set out on a journey to Dragon Tooth Mountain.

Dragon Tooth Mountain is located at the northernmost part of the Frozen Continent, serving as the natural boundary between the Amy people and the northern Amy kingdom, with an average altitude of ?

The origin of the name Dragon Tooth Mountain is already difficult to verify.

There are two legends:

1. The Creator God, in order to quell the war of the gods, drove the ice gods away with a six-dragon chariot, and pulled out the teeth of the ancient green ice dragons from the chariot to seal the ice gods. When the dragon teeth met the wind, they turned into mountains, and in a day they grew up.

2. The shape of Dragon Tooth Mountain resembles dragon’s teeth, so it was named Dragon Tooth Mountain.
