The city possessed a long history, but the streets were extremely smooth. There were not any gaps nor holes in the roads, and the horse carriage was unusually stable as it traveled on the road. Viscountess Lex had just recovered. The sounds of the chimes from the clock had created the biggest impact on her, and she displayed some faint signs of having had a breakthrough.
The promotion of a mage was usually gentle and cumulative. Viscountess Lex still needed at least one month before she could find the opportunity to advance to a Grade 6 mage.
Even so, the methods used by the Qin Empire were very well known. All the mages in the city would be promoted, and only the Descension spell cast by the Holy See was comparable to it. The Descension spell was displayed once just before the pope died. However, the magic clock in the Holy Rock City only needed to accumulate ten years of power before it could cast this spell.
