【When magic has become instinct, everything will be within reach —— Welcome to the Garden of Dreams】
This was the first thing Chu Feiyue saw when she opened her eyes: a line of colorful text floating in the air, changing colors with time.
And the second thing...
"Guess who I am?"
The world went dark, and a voice, more familiar than anything, sounded behind Chu Feiyue.
"Qinyue, stop it..." Chu Feiyue lightly patted the hand covering her eyes.
"Hehe, big brother~~"
Qinyue giggled, released her brother's eyes, and turned to face him, grabbing his arm and shaking it.
Just as Qinyue was laughing and joking with Chu Feiyue, a strange voice interrupted.
"Oh, oh, we have a guest."
A soft, warm voice that made one feel at ease.
Chu Feiyue was taken aback. Before she could turn around, a small light point flew in front of her and Qinyue.
It turned out to be a miniature... or rather, a normally sized elemental spirit.
Her body shimmered with a faint silver glow, making the small teleportation room look like a dream world.
This elemental spirit had long hair, no shorter than Chu Feiyue's. Although it was hard to see her face clearly due to her small size, she was a very beautiful older sister in general...
She wore a long silver robe embroidered with magical runes that flowed with immense magical power, making her look very elegant.
Most importantly, her wings were six translucent petal-shaped wings.
An Upper Elemental Spirit!
"Hello, Goddess candidate and Little Saint. I am Auresia, the Star of Dreams, the teleporter of the Garden. You can call me big sister."
"Hello, Big Sister Auresia." x2. Chu Feiyue and Qinyue greeted the kind-looking older sister.
"Um, that's good, that's good. You just arrived in the City of Dreams, so you should go to the Mage Guild to find that little guy Dick. He will teach you some things. I have a bit of business to attend to, so I can't accompany you." The small silver light point representing Auresia drew an eight and floated back into the purple crystal ball from which she had emerged. This crystal ball had been emitting a terrifying, space-shredding void energy since she appeared.
"What a gentle older sister..." Qinyue dragged the dazed Chu Feiyue out. "I wish I could grow up to be like her."
Miss, you can't judge people so superficially!
After leaving the small teleportation room, they found themselves in a huge teleportation square. A circular magic square several hundred meters in diameter was covered by a pale purple magic dome. Chu Feiyue could even feel the elements cheering on the dome. This purple magic shield enclosed the entire square, making it look like a large room.
Fortunately, the magic shield had a door. A five-meter-high arched gate was embedded in the purple shield, and through it, they could see the bright sunlight outside.
The moment they stepped out of the gate and saw the scenery outside, Chu Feiyue and Qinyue were stunned by the magical city at their feet.
From above, the city was filled with giant magical machines. Numerous cranes, elevators, and patrolling magical puppets all indicated that this was a world of magic. The surging magic currents illuminated the sky.
Indeed, the city was built on a mountain, and the teleportation array they came out of was at the very top of the mountain.
The city was not large, but the towering city walls and countless war machines at the horizon made it impossible for anyone to underestimate it.
Bright elemental currents crisscrossed, connecting all the buildings and facilities, forming a huge magic circuit. Under the influence of this almost divine amount of magic power, the entire city glowed with a faint elemental light.
Such a city was nearly perfect...
However, the atmosphere of war was not heavy here. On the contrary, a gentle and sweet tranquility was the main theme of the city.
Perhaps this was due to the abundance of flowers. Flowers were everywhere on the streets, and some houses were even built on the centers of giant flowers. The colorful petals made the place look like a fairy tale. These giant flowers, of unknown species, could withstand the trampling of large magical puppets, though they were likely reinforced with magic...
A gentle breeze blew, sweetly ruffling the hair of the two siblings and bringing them back from their shock.
"So beautiful..." Qinyue instinctively grabbed her brother to prevent him from being blown away by the wind, only to realize that the wind here was unexpectedly gentle, unlike the fierce winds in the real world.
Chu Feiyue looked helplessly at her sister, who had a habit of clinging to him, but did not repeat her words. Such a beautiful city, describing it as "beautiful" seemed so pale.
The magical civilization here seemed much more advanced than the technological civilization of the real world. Even elevators, which were rare in the real world, were common here, along with various strange floating buildings...
"Today's weather is sunny with a gentle breeze, a good day for a spring outing."
At that moment, a four- to five-meter-tall war puppet carrying a container of similar size walked past the two siblings, broadcasting the weather forecast.
"No fuel..." Chu Feiyue stared intently at the large magical puppet. "It has no fuel storage device!"
In fact, war puppets were made by combining several magic crystals engraved with magical runes using magic. Although expensive, they were not rare. The real value lay in the magical runes on the magic crystals, which could continuously absorb magic power.
Chu Feiyue's initial goal in researching power mechanisms was to find an engine that could operate without fuel, but she had failed for many years... Although she had started to explore magic, she had not yet achieved any results. She never expected to find a ready-made solution in this game world.
Excited, Chu Feiyue pulled her sister along to follow the puppet, hoping to find a way to bring one back.
Unfortunately, the puppet's steps were too large, and they soon lost it.
Then, the two siblings looked at each other in confusion.
"Brother, do you know where we are?"
"It seems to be an appraisal center." Chu Feiyue pointed to the nearest round-topped building on a floating stone slab, where a large sign read "Appraisal Center."
"Then, where is the Mage Guild we need to go to?"
"Who should I ask if you ask me?"
"..."
So, the two of them were lost.
