Lis watched Risa curiously flipping through various magic books and smiled without disturbing her. For Risa, who had already achieved Legend status, these magic books were no longer of much use to her. The most precious among these magic books were merely records of some Golden Rank spell knowledge, which held little value for Lis and Risa, who had access to the Great Library of Kane Floating City. However, Lis did not refuse Risa. Risa, as a legendary "homebody", had almost never left her place of residence. Since being brought back by Lis’s father, she had been staying in the library of the Kane Mansion. Even after arriving at Kane Floating City, she hadn’t left the Floating City even after breaking through to Legend status. Thıs text ıs hosted at novel•fire.net Although Risa had gotten used to such a life, Lis felt it was not okay. This time, Lis was invited by the Third Speaker to the Pan-Continent Mage Association, so he took Risa along. As for the Kane Floating City, with Uncle Joyce there and Lis’s avatar controlling the entire Floating City, there would be no problems, even if attacked, Lis, being in the Gaia World, could quickly return to the Floating City through space magic. Right now, the disputes between the Church of the Gods and the Evil God believers couldn’t be more intense. Lis planned to lie low for a while and see how things unfolded. Since their destination was the Pan-Continent Mage Association, it was also a rare opportunity for Risa, so Lis and Risa went directly to Jonas City, the Pan-Continent Mage Association’s location. This place was the most important core city of the Association besides those two Floating Cities. The Pan-Continent Mage Association was different from ordinary extraordinary forces, though extremely powerful, it didn’t possess much territory. Apart from holding some key magic resource production sites, its territories were normal, indirectly ruled through numerous Human Kingdoms. However, due to the existence of the Pan-Continent Mage Association, the lands under its wing were fairly secure, nearly immune to any attacks or invasions. To such a powerful extraordinary force like the Pan-Continent Mage Association, ordinary territories had lost their significance. This left many Human Kingdoms eager to join and seek protection rather disappointed. Of course, the influence of the Pan-Continent Mage Association was not confined to just its territories. The Anola Continent itself was under the Association’s influence. Moreover, the entirety of "Pan Continent" wasn’t just about that single continent; mages from any of Gaia World’s six main continents could join the Pan-Continent Mage Association. It was also for this reason that the Pan-Continent Mage Association became the most coveted holy land in the minds of mages. Mages, rarely seen ordinarily, were casually spotted in Jonas City. Golden Rank mages, who would usually be welcomed among the king’s inner circle in common kingdoms, were seen by Lis several times upon entering Jonas City. The gathering of so many mages here was a testament to the influence of the Pan-Continent Mage Association. Lis did not hurry upon arriving at the Pan-Continent Mage Association. The appointment with the Third Speaker was the day after tomorrow, providing just enough time to take Risa for a stroll around the city. During the time Lis was absent from the Kane Floating City, Risa managed its operations without a hitch. This outing served as a way to let Risa relax a bit. Moreover, she seemed to enjoy herself thoroughly. Although she was somewhat of an introvert and recluse, being with Lis was never an issue. Risa also enjoyed the time they spent alone together. The owner of the Magic Bookstore glanced at Lis and Risa for a moment before returning to his business. Although Lis and Risa were exceptionally good-looking, the owner merely took a few extra glances. He detected no aura of magic power from them. Judging by their appearance, they were likely descendants of nobles, right? In their own domains, perhaps they would garner respect from everyone, but this was Jonas City of the Pan-Continent Mage Association. Even the kings of Human Kingdoms would have to set aside their noble titles upon coming here. Here, only knowledge could earn one’s respect. Furthermore, given such young nobles with no attendant following, these two were very clearly young individuals yet to inherit titles. They probably wouldn’t have many lovely gold coins on them... The magic books here were very expensive! These two young folks were merely curious about it all. The owner shook his head and leaned back leisurely on the chair behind the counter, flipping through the blue magic book in his hand. Lis was unaware of the shopkeeper’s rich inner thoughts. But even if he knew, he would just laugh it off. With his current status, he wouldn’t stoop to show off his power by buying out the entire bookstore to prove a point. Lis looked at the eager Risa and smiled as he said: "How about it, Risa?" "Found anything you like?" Risa hesitated for a moment, gazing at the magic book in her hand. In truth, the magic element models and magic runes recorded in these magic books were something she understood at a glance, not posing any great difficulty. But since she was here with Lis, she wanted to buy a souvenir. "Just this one then!" Risa put the other magic books back, keeping only one magic book in her hand that recorded the Spiritual Protection Introduction Spell. "Not buying a few more?" Lis smiled as he ruffled Risa’s hair.
