Chapter 225:
Two minutes later, Freya held a fist-sized black cylindrical Crystal in her hand.
The nearby Female Apprentice was carefully explaining it to her.
"This is the Information Transmission Crystal. It contains most of the data registered in the South regarding Wizard Organizations and the contact seals of the heads of various departments in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Wizard Organizations. Additionally, it includes some information from other regions in the South. The usage is very simple; you just need to channel your mental energy into it, and it will automatically flow into your mind. It's very convenient."
"Oh? Is that so?" Freya looked at the black Crystal in her hand with curiosity.
She had used similar items in the Trading Area of the academy, but those were fixed devices with high technical content, yet extremely bulky, nothing like this portable one.
Moreover, if what this Female Apprentice said was true, then this device must also have a recording function.
After thinking for a moment, Freya asked her, "Where can I buy this? What is the price?"
"I'm sorry, but this is private property of Sky City and is only available for use here." Perhaps Freya was not the first to ask, as the Female Apprentice simply smiled and continued, "Furthermore, the transmission crystal has only been gradually promoted to the outside world since the year before last. Some other functions are still under development and are not considered finished products."
"This isn't a finished product?"
Freya toyed with the relatively heavy crystal in her hand and felt a dent at its top, where there was a line of letters written in Elvish.
'All of Sky City—Osmann Iwan Kelin.'
The surname Ivanklin means "elf" in the common language, Freya guessed. This Osmann might be the developer of this crystal, which is why he had the right to leave his name on it.
After playing with it for a while, she directly connected her mental tendrils to the crystal.
At the moment of connection, Freya suddenly felt a jolt in her head as a massive stream of information surged into her mind through her mental tendrils, causing her to instinctively close her eyes.
Amidst the colorful torrent, although Freya remained standing in place, she felt as if her consciousness was traversing through a vast spatial corridor.
Chunks of information zipped past her mind, giving Freya the illusion of playing an online computer game in a past life.
One was merely looking at a screen, while the other was immersed within it.
The time spent in the corridor was brief—almost just half a minute. Freya felt her consciousness empty, as if entering some special space.
A gigantic Barrier appeared in her mental perception, almost as if she could see it visually.
"This must be the Information Platform," she thought.
As she sensed the Barrier, Freya's heart stirred. In an instant, the white Barrier split into many pieces.
Each piece was labeled with its function in a universal language.
These segmented Barriers contained nearly all information.
In fact, among them, Freya even spotted a Barrier labeled 'Otherworld Exploration Progress.'
However, when she tried to view it, there was predictably no response.
"Must be a matter of access permissions; otherwise, if anyone could view it, then the research results of various organizations would become public. Even the White Wizards are generally not allowed to do so."
Later on, Freya discovered that most of these large segmented Barriers were not open to the public.
As a result of her tests, she found that only transaction information, detailed statistics of various Wizard Organizations, the Southern Map, and some basic data about Cloud City were accessible.
After browsing through a chaotic array of information for quite some time, she finally chose the detailed statistics of various Wizard Organizations' Barriers.
Almost at the moment of selection, rows upon rows of dense data about Wizard Organizations appeared in her mind.
Freya roughly calculated and discovered that there were actually over one hundred pieces of information regarding these Wizard Organizations.
In other words, Cloud City alone had more than one hundred Wizard Organizations in the Southern Region.
The density of this was something Freya could hardly imagine.
Amidst her shock, she frowned slightly.
"Could it be that there are so many Official Wizards in Cloud City? Is it possible to encounter them casually on the streets?"
If that were the case, then the power of Cloud City would be incredibly vast, making it even possible to conquer the expansive ocean.
However, during her subsequent detailed browsing, she felt that she might have overthought it.
Freya discovered that in some Wizard Organizations, the number of Official Wizards was extremely scarce; in fact, there was one Wizard Organization with only three Official Wizards and over twenty apprentices.
These twenty-three individuals directly formed a Wizard Organization, and there were even clear records of their research directions and some achievements.
Moreover, such loose organizations were actually the majority.
For a moment, Freya felt somewhat speechless.
After all, if there really were over one hundred Wizard Organizations, it would be a terrifying matter for any region.
Fortunately, Sky City had established numbering before each Wizard Organization's name to differentiate their backgrounds, saving Freya a lot of filtering effort.
Freya began to make her selections based on her own situation, directly skipping over the Wizard Organizations ranked below thirty.
Most of the Wizard Organizations ranked above thirty had their own academies, activity areas, and research specialties, along with various benefits and conditions for joining.
When Freya came to Cloud City, she intended not only to obtain the Official Wizard's Meditation Method from a certain Wizard Organization but also to have sufficient research time and the necessary knowledge.
Although the discovery of a certain special world was not a secret among wizards, Freya still did not want to be disturbed during her research.
Thus, she first eliminated those Wizard Organizations that recruited combat personnel or required fixed activities.
Next, she made her choices based on the runes or magic circle directions that suited her.
About ten minutes later, after a thorough screening, detailed information about five Wizard Organizations was presented before her.
They were: Hilt's Windward Bastion, ranked twenty-ninth; Crimson Eagle, eighteenth; Nasha Academy, fifteenth; White Harbor, which Hanks had provided her as proof on the ship; and Sky City, ranked first.
Hilt's Windward Bastion was somewhat remote, located just a few hundred kilometers from the eastern area of City of Illusions. The environment there was likely not very comfortable. However, this organization specialized in research related to the Wind Element, which was most compatible with Freya, and it also recruited wizards who specialized in runes. This is why it made it onto Freya's list. (To be continued...)
