"Burton, the quality of these slaves isn't good enough!" The grey-robed elder's gaze lingered on the quasi-rank crocodile for less than a second before he spoke to the middle-aged Caster.
"There's nothing we can do. The Sanctum is rushing us!" The middle-aged Caster grumbled, "And the academy is sponsoring a large part of it."
"Did Leonze and the others find a way?" The grey-robed elder tried to ask. He didn't believe that Leonze and the others would miss the appointed time.
"Yes." The middle-aged Caster nodded. He didn't say where Leonze and the others had gone to capture slaves, and the grey-robed elder didn't ask either.
As long as they were weaker than major monsters, these powerful Casters could plough through a forest if they worked together.
There were close to two hundred magical beasts and strange creatures, but they were all slaves that the Magicians had captured, including the giant crocodile that had the power of a Quasi Level Magical Beast. It could only be counted as a slightly larger one among the slaves, and the official Magicians wouldn't even spare it a glance.
These slave creatures were chased to the basement of the floating ship under the middle-aged mage's berating. The base-rank giant crocodile could only crouch down and enter the basement with its back bent. It was only four meters tall.
Under the pressure of the three official Magicians on the floating ship, the Quasi Rank Magical Beast's dignity was completely shattered.
The three Casters didn't even need to do anything. The mid-rank and high-rank Lehrlings on the ship could easily bury the base-rank major monster in the sea of elements with a single spell each.
This was also the main reason why humans could replace major monsters and dominate the continent.
The sight of the two hundred slaves being chased to the basement by the Casters shocked many Lehrlings who hadn't seen much of the world.
Many of them had carried out the academy's training missions, but they'd never seen so many major monsters gathered together.
"These are major monsters that have attacked human towns and committed grave crimes," Angelina explained.
Having read a lot of books, Angelina could vaguely guess that these creatures were most likely cannon fodder sent to the planar war.
It wasn't just the Missia Continent, but the entire Magus Plane as a whole. Magi from the Sanctum were protective of the creatures of their own plane. As the plane grew stronger, magi and knights became more and more powerful. The creatures of their own plane were no longer obstacles for humans.
The original matter of slaughtering them for their Monster Cores had now been slowly replaced by raising them. They could be kept as precious specimens, which was much more useful than simply hunting them.
In foreign wars, mages and knights mostly replaced their original slave creatures with slaves from other planes.
Regardless of what mistakes the creatures on the ship had made, what they had to do next was to survive the unknown Planar War, even though it was very difficult.
Even if they broke through the shackles of life and became level one, level two, or even level three powerful lifeforms, they would still be slaves in the end.
He wasn't interested in mourning for non-humans, so he told Angelina and Daenie to eat at the back of the cabin.
There was a cafeteria on the floating ship and the chef was probably from Princeton Academy. He didn't expect to see salmon on the menu.
The floating ship flew steadily above the stratosphere for the whole night. The sturdy, translucent magic shield blocked out all wind, frost, rain, and snow. He had no idea how high the floating ship was flying.
Anyway, Locke took some time to go to the deck and look down. There were only dense clouds shrouding the surroundings. Perhaps it was an illusion, but the stars in the sky seemed to have become bigger and brighter.
The next day, Locke stretched and walked out of his room. He was surprised to see the clear sky outside the floating ship.
The pale blue horizon appeared in the distance and white clouds floated past on both sides of the floating ship. He even saw a row of albatrosses flying in an orderly manner northwest of the floating ship.
"She's so beautiful!" Daenie exclaimed from the side.
"You're up early," greeted Locke. Locke greeted her. It was only five in the morning, which was usually when the sky was just getting brighter. Since they were above the clouds, the sun had risen earlier than usual.
Locke woke up early for his daily training, so he was surprised to see Daenie up so early too. Even someone as diligent as Angelina would only wake up at six or seven every day.
"Is it for training?" asked Locke.
"No." Daenie blushed and said softly, "I'm just homesick and can't sleep."
Locke and Angelina had been away from home for a few years. Their homesickness had slowly subsided as they grew older and experienced more things. Instead of dissipating, it only deepened.
Daenie, on the other hand, had never left her parents since she was young. This trip to the Sanctum with Angelina was a great experience for her.
"Then train hard and try to become a high-rank Lehrling as soon as possible so that we can go home!" Locke waved his arm at Daenie and cheered her on.
The Sanctum didn't only allow high-rank Lehrlings to leave. The Sanctum would assign various tasks to high-rank Lehrlings so that they could use the task as an excuse to travel between Aomar and the Sanctum.
"Yeah!" Daenie said confidently. She was one of the more talented casters, otherwise Grandmeisterin Parlina wouldn't have taken a liking to a low-rank Lehrling like her.
Locke walked to the deck and sat down cross-legged to start his daily training of Falconim. The growth of a knight's impetus was very slow. Even though it wasn't obvious, Locke could still feel that the amount and strength of his impetus were slowly improving.
Daenie, on the other hand, sat down not too far away from him with her staff in hand and started to meditate.
It was still early and there was no one else on the deck. Daenie wasn't worried that someone would disturb her.
The conditions for a caster to meditate were much harsher than a knight's. If they were affected by a chaotic environment, they could easily fall into mana turbulence, damaging their bodies and overloading their mental power.
While the two were meditating on the deck, the door to a room on the fourth floor opened. Parlina had to go to the main control room to replenish some mana for the energy crystal core.
She then saw Locke and Daenie meditating on the deck.
"Their strength is average, but they are quite diligent!" The old lady looked at the two of them and commented in a low voice. She couldn't tell if she was talking about Locke or Daenie.
