Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2750: 564: Beyond Level-10, Netherworld Ancestor Descends! Nora Ark!

A figure wearing a green robe stood at the entrance, a wine jug in hand and a scruffy beard on his face. Carrying a three-foot sword, he called out to Levi.

[Greetings, I am Bai, the butler of the Aid the Vast Sea spaceship.]

"Why this appearance?"

[I don’t know how to answer your question.]

Levi was reminded of the Dragon Clan’s ninth-circle civilization treasure, "Wind and Rain Unmoving, Secure as a Mountain." It seemed Sauron had gathered both the Poetic Immortal and the Poet Saint here.

Following Bai, Levi entered the ship's interior. The space was incredibly vast, featuring various rooms that were all extremely luxurious. Bai began to introduce their functions one by one.

[This is the cultivation secret room. It is fitted with a Nine-Ring Gathering Element Array and can produce a rich elemental environment by consuming Aether Stones.]

[This is the training secret room. Constructed entirely from metal with "Indestructible" and "Solid" properties, it is sufficient for cultivation practices below level-10.]

[Here is...]

Levi grew more astonished as he continued his exploration. This ninth-circle treasure was likely worth dozens of Shadow Blades; the gap between them was like night and day. It was undoubtedly a peak level 9 standard treasure of immense value.

Having such a magnificent item meant that, barring an emergency, he would rely on it for all ordinary plane travels from now on. According to the introduction from Taibai No.1, the defense system of the Aid the Vast Sea was formidable enough to block most level 9 attacks. Its offensive power was equally staggering; the integrated Sea Cannon could fire Gold Element Sword Qi capable of destroying Heaven and crushing Earth, easily piercing the scales of most adult giant dragons.

The spaceship utilized three different power sources.

The first involves a Level 9 Expert injecting their own energy into the system. The second requires the consumption of Aether Stones or other high-energy crystals, such as a Divine Crystal or an Abyss Core. A single Level 9 Abyss Core could power the ship's standard cruising for an entire century. The third method allows the spaceship to autonomously gather and store elemental power.

There was also an alternative: installing a level 9 elemental spirit as the power source, which could double as a guardian during a crisis. Levi intended to place the Rainbow Sword Master inside, as it was practically tailor-made for the Aid the Vast Sea.

Once the tour was finished, Bai’s image suddenly began to flicker.

[The spaceship energy system is nearly depleted. Please replenish it immediately!]

As soon as the warning was delivered, Bai’s figure faded away.

After Levi deposited roughly one billion Aether Stones, the butler was awakened once more.

[Taibai No.1 is wholeheartedly at your service...]

"Enter hibernation for now; you aren't needed at the moment."

[Understood.]

Levi stowed the spaceship away, his spirits high. This was his first significant harvest from the ancient tower. Based on previous experiences, he was certain the temple held more treasures and Easter eggs left behind by Sauron.

While walking through the temple's corridor, Levi spotted a door made of light on the wall, looking like the entrance to a secret realm.

He stepped inside after establishing a "Resurrection Point." There was no danger within; instead, a soft sea breeze carried the scent of salt. Seabirds flew through a blue sky filled with white clouds. The only things in sight were a simple desk and chair, upon which sat a model of a massive ship glowing with a golden luster.

"A Golden Legend? Could it be a supreme treasure?"

With a heart full of both excitement and nerves, Levi walked toward the desk. Lines of text began to manifest upon the model.

[Equipment Name: Nora Ark (Golden Epic)]

[Equipment Level: Level 10]

[Equipment Effect: Captain]

...

[Captain: The Nora Ark serves as the command hub for the Dark Ancient Tower. By refining the Nora Ark, you shall become the captain and navigator of the Dark Ancient Tower. Should the light of civilization fade and its fires begin to die, you may use the Nora Ark to transport the seeds of civilization, guiding them into the Dark Ancient Tower to search for hope within the Multidimensional Plane. This effect triggers automatically at the collapse of civilization. Please be prepared, captain.]

[Note 1: Refining this item requires level-10 strength. Upon refining, you will gain level-10 authority over the ancient tower.]

[Note 2: May the Nora Ark never be required!]

Levi's excitement turned heavy and complicated as he read the description. He stood there in silence, making no move to grab the Nora Ark.

He finally grasped another purpose of the Dark Ancient Tower. It appeared that when Sauron constructed this tower, he wasn't entirely certain of a bright future. Beside Plan A, there was a Plan B: using the tower to wander the Multidimensional Plane as a sanctuary for the wizard civilization.

That would imply that all current endeavors had failed, leaving everyone as refugees drifting through the cosmos in search of a new home. But would a true paradise even exist in a Multidimensional Plane ruled by the Four Great Giants?

The path ahead for Nora was full of thorns and offered little hope. Even a figure as mighty and self-assured as Sauron felt the need to prepare for the worst-case scenario. After a long period of reflection, Levi decided not to take the Nora Ark immediately.

First, he lacked the necessary strength to claim and refine it.

Second, he was conflicted about the responsibility of becoming the captain.

However, Levi discovered a new Easter egg inside the desk drawer. Upon opening the sealed parchment, Sauron’s handwriting appeared:

[Eternal Fire Ozu, a mighty deity of the Thousand Hills Countries, dwells beyond the "Gate of Eternity." It is a powerful entity born from the primary spark at the dawn of Chaos, eventually becoming the Fire God of the Star Realm.

In the ages of old, the Eternal Fire and the Heavenly Father harbored the most intense hatred for the wizard civilization. The Gods always viewed fundamental elements like fire and light as their personal property, maintaining that mortals should only receive light and warmth as a form of divine charity.]
