I can fly, and so can Reiner, but what about the other mages? They might not be able to fly, you know? So when we chose the location for the exchange conference, we opted for a beautiful spot, the Three Mountains and Two Lakes.
The honest Beric was easily tricked by Teacher Inquilinar and didn't feel too disappointed; he excitedly rushed through the portal, exclaiming, "I want to see the scenery!"
Inquilinar smiled and followed him in. After a moment of disorienting change, the scenery solidified before their eyes, leaving Inquilinar astonished!
Beric was equally dumbfounded and tugged at his teacher's sleeve. "Where are the Three Mountains and Two Lakes? Why are there only two mountains?"
The audience burst into laughter at this unexpected twist. It was such a quick slap in the face that it caught everyone off guard; Inquilinar's face must have been flushed with embarrassment.
Inquilinar's dignity as a teacher seemed to be slipping away. The humor was amplified by Beric's question, which landed a direct hit on Inquilinar.
Was the pacing too fast? I thought it would follow a traditional storyline where the teacher guides the apprentice step by step, culminating in a grand mage conference at the end. Shouldn't such a large-scale event be reserved for later episodes?
The camera captured Inquilinar and Beric's bewildered expressions, prompting viewers to chuckle and send barrage comments.
In the next moment, as the camera shifted perspective, it showcased the exchange conference site that looked like a construction site. The density of comments decreased as many viewers were clearly taken aback.
Before the lens appeared two towering mountains and two serene lakes. But that wasn't all; what was truly exaggerated was a large iron building on the edge of a small hill, resembling an assembly line.
Three-Meter Tall Stone Men continuously transported materials from the hill into the iron building, giving birth to new Stone Men. The newly created Stone Men then joined other teams to begin constructing high-rise buildings.
The gradually diminishing hill seemed to silently inform everyone that the mountain that had disappeared from Three Mountains and Two Lakes had all become Stone Men.
With a smooth production line and Stone Men laying bricks and tiles, several already completed high-rises made viewers increasingly feel a sense of familiarity.
"Is this really a magical fantasy show? Are we sure it's not some large-scale civil engineering recruitment advertisement?"
"This is outrageous; this magic is too useful! It saves so much cost—no labor costs at all! Just turn mountains into Stone Men who don't eat or drink or need wages. Capitalists must be crying with envy."
"Honestly, I was just watching a show on a construction site. Our foreman is watching too; look at him—the way he's looking at us is getting more and more unsettling."
"You all are too limited in your thinking; this is magic! If we could scale this up, make it taller, and refine its appearance, wouldn’t it be perfect for piloting like Gundam?"
The dusty construction site made Inquilinar particularly uncomfortable. How could this place feel so unfamiliar for a Mage Exchange Conference?
If it weren't for one of the peaks, which still had a particularly familiar Starry Tea Tree, he would have almost doubted that he had come to the right place.
Two wizards were enthusiastically discussing the Gate of Truth when they noticed a flash of light from the teleportation array and instinctively turned their gazes toward it.
Soon, they recognized an old acquaintance and quickly greeted him: "Mr. Inquilinar."
Inquilinar nodded in a daze as a response, then took a couple of steps forward. "What happened here? Why has it changed so much?"
The wizard could easily understand Inquilinar's feelings. When he had arrived here not long ago, he had felt just as bewildered, only gradually coming to terms with it after two days: "They are renovating the dormitory here."
"It's the place where we will be staying. They've used quite a bit of magic, making life much more convenient."
The other wizard agreed, "Yes, it's so much better than the previous exchange meetings. I still remember how we had to rely on the wooden houses you conjured with Wood Magic for shelter every time we attended. Now we finally have a place to stay overnight."
