Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As Edward lowered his head and looked through the glass windows in the airship, he could see the landmark building, King’s Tower, in the Kelermo Kingdom. The airship flew above the kingdom, carrying more than thirty wizards in white capes, who were all looking at the city through the glass windows.

“We’ve toured the Yala Continent for a week now. Though there seem to be some minor issues, nothing major was found. It seems that we’ve made it,” Edward said to the wizard beside him.

The wizard standing beside Edward looked old, but he was actually a student of Edward’s. However, he looked more like Edward’s grandfather.

He turned to Edward and said, “This will be an important step toward humans conquering the sky!”

All of these people were Edward’s juniors, who were all following him. Edward was a fifth-session graduate from the Wizard Tower, and he was a living legend to all of them, not to mention the fact that he was a level-five wizard. To these people, he was the god of wizards.

At the moment, Edward was focusing all of his attention on the airship and the Kelermo Kingdom that was below it. They had already given up the Wizard Tower for the Yala Continent, and this was the last fight for the wizards.

Originally, the airship was able to fly in the sky, but could only fly for a very short distance and quite slowly. Though this still made the airshop somewhat helpful, it wasn’t useful enough to be popularized and sold on the mainstream market.

In order to improve the airship, an alchemy steam machine with magic reinforcement was loaded on to the airship, which allowed the airship to fly much faster through the sky, and it could also fly for a longer distance and time.

These new airships were already able to fly across entire countries, and in the future, the airships might even be able to fly across the ocean. However, what was surprising was that the first alchemy airship that was capable of such a feat wasn’t created in the City Alliance of Sheehan where there were alchemy wizards everywhere. Instead, it was created in the Kelermo Kingdom, which was established only a short time ago and was far from the human Alen Continent.

The airship traveled all around the entire Alen Continent, and at the same time, those airships from the Kelermo Kingdom were also traveling around, drawing the map of the entire Alen Continent. When these airships arrived at the tribe of sun fairies and moon fairies, they stopped to talk with the representatives in their capital cities.

At the moment, fairies and humans shared a peaceful relationship, although many fairies thought that the Kelermo Kingdom’s establishment on the Alen Continent was an intrusion to their fairy world. During all of these years, the Kelermo Kingdom had established and maintained the diplomatic and peaceful relations with the sun fairies and the moon fairies, and the trade and state visits between those countries were getting more and more frequent.

Those from the Kelermo Kingdom were also friendly with the fairies, which gave them a peace union and brought them opportunities to settle on this continent. With the era of the Ocean approaching, the Kelermo Kingdom was experiencing a time of great prosperity.

As the airship flew across the cities in the fairy kingdom, all of the fairies were looking up at the giant object that was about to land, their faces filled with awe. This was the first time that they had seen an alchemy vehicle that could allow humans and objects to fly through the sky.

The emblem of the Kelermo Kingdom that was on the airship could clearly be seen by all of the commoners in all of the cities and villages, and they were all cheering as the airship passed above them. Finally, the airship was back at the capital city, and there were people everywhere.

They were gathered beside the King Tower, standing on the street, and looking out from the top of the tower. Everyone was waving at the airship excitedly and shouting joyfully…

“Long live the king!”

“Long live the Parliament of Wizards!”

“Welcome back, officials of the Parliament of Wizards!”

“This was a very successful journey! The great king and the officials of the Parliament of Wizards had a peaceful and efficient meeting with the sun fairies and the moon fairies in the fairy kingdom!”

As the airship landed on the square, the people on both sides of the square were all pushing and squeezing toward the middle of the square. They were shouting the names of the members from the Parliament of Wizards and Edward, the name of their king.

The soldiers were carrying rifles, standing on the square and acting as a protective barrier so that the commoners wouldn’t get too close to the members and the king. As Edward and the wizards walked down from the airship, they were all waving their hands passionately at the commoners, and the scene looked very peaceful and harmonious.

The commoners were all enthusiastic, and countless young boys and girls were smiling. Many of the people were even throwing their hats into the sky in celebration.

“I’ve just seen King Edward!” a girl with freckles on her face shouted in excitement.

“Long live the God of Truth and Knowledge!” A middle-aged carpenter, who had a lot of calluses on his hands, exclaimed.

“I want to become a powerful wizard in the future!” a child exclaimed as he was going to sign up for the Wizard College.

Here, wizards were not feared or marginalized as they were in the human world, so everyone here was looking forward to becoming a wizard with great expectation. After moving to the Yala Continent, Edward had already given up using the official title of “wizard,” which had negative connotations. Instead, he he adopted the more neutral name of “master.”

Edward had also reshuffled the entire wizard organization, getting rid of the previous customs of the wizards not having contacts with the outer world. From then on, they started to integrate with the human world, even trying to take the leadership roles within it.

Based on their own wizard ways and their experiences from other kingdoms, they wanted to build a kingdom for masters. They also changed the original wizard custom capes from grey and black to white ones.

In the Kelermo Kingdom, the members from the Parliament of Masters had the greatest power. Wizards who used to have the impression of being gloomy and hiding in dark castles and forests suddenly became brighter after they started to don white capes. They suddenly became saints in the sunshine, who everyone aspired to be!

Most of those who were descending from the airship were the main members of the parliament, and they were also the controllers of the Kelermo Kingdom. They were running the kingdom using the rules of the Parliament of Masters, and the entire kingdom felt like it was a combination of wizard organizations and wizards.

Here, the masters were the controllers of the kingdom, and everyone in the kingdom wanted to become a master, no matter how old they were. When they talked about masters, their eyes would sparkle with hope and joy.

As for the novels that were written in the kingdom, many of the epic heroes within them were based on the heroic backgrounds of the masters themselves. Thus, becoming a master, saving the world, and marrying a princess was the dream of all children and was tantamount to becoming a member of the Parliament of Masters.

As for Edward, he established a master college in the capital city of the kingdom, which was open to everyone in the country as long as they were qualified. Everyone in the kingdom went crazy over that college and all wanted to attend it. If someone was deemed qualified to be a master, even just an apprentice, they would then be able to become one of the royal members in the future.

Just as Edward walked out from the airship, a teenager immediately walked toward him and reported everything that was going on in the country, as well as their important political plans for the future. He also reported some of the important foreign issues of the day to Edward.

Hearing all of this made Edward yearn for the information system of the Wizard Tower in the past. That intelligence system was constructed by numerous wind ravens, libraries, and the sphinx, all of which could funnel him information about the world in the shortest period of time.

However, when they were retreating from the tower, the wind ravens and the sphinx were unwilling to leave. Edward couldn’t even take away the red dragon, which had the greatest potential in the Wizard Tower. This had made Edward quite sad.

As he heard one specific piece of news, Edward suddenly raised his head and asked for confirmation, “The Goddess of Steam and Machine, Marina Bosa, was summoned to go to the kingdom of gods?”

Others might have heard this news and assumed that someone major had died, yet since Edward knew that the Goddess of Steam and Machine was Marina Bosa, he quickly understood that this piece of news meant that Marina Bosa had inherited the position of a god, making her the latest person to become a god after the Master of Night!

Edward went back to his palace and entered his study, where he immediately summoned all of the members from the Parliament of Masters.

“We’ve already publicized the belief of the God of Truth and Knowledge long enough time, and that belief system has been ingrained in everyone’s heart already. Also, our population base is quickly increasing. Hence, it’s time to ignite the godly fire and summon the divine personality,” he said.

“Which day should we choose for the event?” one of the members asked.

“Let’s make it the same day that the master college expands. We’ll make it a grand ceremony!” Edward said.

After Edward settled on that issue, he immediately moved on to another vital issue as he asked, “How is the process of setting and amending the master system going?”

An old wizard, who was sitting beside him, immediately responded, “We followed the system of divine incantation and have already built the structure. Thus, it can continue after you ignite the godly fire. We’ll give up the original system and shift our focus to the godly power of truth and knowledge. We’ll then establish a new system of masters and publicize our master college!”

The old wizard then added, “And… After it is spreads to all of the master colleges, the masters of further generations will create a new era of masters that centers around the God of Truth and Knowledge.”
