Under the influence of the "Infinite Negative Domain," the flying ability of Icarus’s Wings had also received significant enhancement.
After quickly chanting the spell, Ronald himself immediately soared into the air, driven by the wings.
It was still night time at the moment.
Without the limitation of the overhead sun, there were no longer any restrictions on how high Icarus’s Wings could fly. Taking off from the platform on Barrier Mountain, his figure swiftly traced a straight line in the air.
At the height almost level with the Magic Tower of the Prophecy Department, Correct content is on
Ronald saw the activity on the observation deck at the top of the tower.
Two men and one woman, a total of three Wizards, were on the platform, fiddling with a device similar to a telescope. The moment Ronald reached this altitude, they noticed the disturbance here and immediately stood together, whispering amongst themselves. A subtle Magic Fluctuation even emerged from one of the men.
Working at the top of the Academy Tower meant these Wizards were well-versed figures. They clearly recognized the new Flying Spell that Ronald used and immediately started to discuss it.
Ronald made no further movements.
His gaze softly swept over the Magic Academy Tower as he continued to accelerate directly upwards into the sky.
With the gain in altitude, the buildings below gradually became blurry.
The blue-gray body of the tower and the snow-covered mountains melded together, soon becoming indistinguishable.
It was then that a deep grey figure approached Ronald from below.
The man was the old Wizard who had said he wanted to see the spell for himself.
"Mr. Drake, it’s really quite an excellent spell."
"If you don’t mind, shall we proceed to test the following aspects: straight-line flight speed, aerial maneuverability, resistance to magical interference, response to high-altitude air currents, and acceleration and deceleration efficiency?" he asked.
Ronald nodded noncommittally:
"Shall we follow the order you suggested?"
The old Wizard extended his right hand forward, pointing:
"Then please, go ahead."
In his original world, Ronald had also privately tested the basic data of Icarus’s Wings.
Now conducting tests within the "Infinite Negative Domain,"
He also became aware of the differences between the two worlds from the most direct data.
Straight-line flight speed—
In the outside world, Icarus’s Wings could provide a maximum speed of around ten meters per second; within the "Infinite Negative Domain," this speed went directly to thirty meters per second.
Aerial maneuverability—
This ability primarily tested the Caster’s own reaction speed, and although there was an increase, it was not as direct as the flight speed.
Resistance to magical interference—
Ronald did not test this ability in the outside world, but within the "Infinite Negative Domain," if it wasn’t a direct magical attack, then Icarus’s Wings could operate smoothly. NovelHub
Response to high-altitude air currents—
There was no difference between the inside and outside worlds in this regard. Icarus’s Wings, in both worlds, had no capability to cope with high-altitude air currents; it all depended purely on the Caster himself.
Acceleration and deceleration efficiency—
For the final test, the difference was quite obvious.
In the outside world, when Ronald tested Icarus’s Wings, it took at least three seconds to buffer from zero to maximum speed, and rapid deceleration required a significant degree of buffering as well;
But within the "Infinite Negative Domain," accelerating to the fastest speed was just a momentary thought, and rapid deceleration was also achieved within an emergency change of three seconds.
"Mr. Drake, I am very pleased that you are willing to give this excellent Flying Spell to the Academy. Even without the support of the original text for casting, it is very good research material."
After going through several tests, the old Wizard’s expression gradually became calm.
He first praised the excellence of Ronald’s spell and then, in front of Ronald, calmly and precisely chanted:
"How laughable it is to attempt to trap the other by designing a maze of one’s own making!
I have the vast sky through which to fly to any place I wish."
"That’s right, Mr. Drake, isn’t it?"
Ronald was momentarily left speechless.
The old Wizard’s pronunciation was absolutely precise; only the emotion was somewhat off when chanting the phrase.
If he had heard such a sentence before crossing over...
Ronald would probably think—it was said by a compatriot who had been studying a foreign language for some time.
So... what did that mean?
The old Wizard in front of him had heard him chant the spell and was able to perfectly repeat it word for word on the first try!
It would have been one thing if the tone when chanting the spells were normal.
Ronald could understand if the other party had some ability that allowed them to perfectly reproduce what he said.
But there was a difference in the emotional aspect of the language...
The old Wizard before him likely had studied this language system.
He understood the spells Ronald chanted, and then chanted them according to his own habits, causing this kind of emotional mismatch.
In that instant, Ronald felt as if he could foresee limitless danger.
Yes, the "Infinite Negative Domain" was markedly different from the outside world, with its myriad of competing schools, wary of each other.
After integrating all the factions of this world, the amalgamation of a vast number of original texts and spells would bring incalculable progress to the decryption work. Combined with the decades of secluded research cut off from the world, completely solving the Earth’s written languages wouldn’t be difficult at all.
Then... the Wizards within the "Infinite Negative Domain."
Had they already bridged the language barrier and then wholeheartedly devoted themselves to decrypting and researching original spells for dozens of years?
Waves of turmoil churned in Ronald’s heart, but he maintained a calm exterior.
It was at this moment that the old Wizard before Ronald smiled:
"Mr. Drake, I’m sorry to have made you laugh."
"My ability to learn the divine script at my age isn’t very good, so I might be a little inaccurate when chanting the spells."
Hearing this, Ronald quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.
A response that would likely not expose any issues nearly slipped out in the next second:
"The research on spells in Barrier Mountain is indeed impressive."
"For an external Caster like me, I’m truly at a loss for words in admiration."
"People who have just joined our Academy Tower are always at the beginning," the old Wizard seemed unsurprised by Ronald’s demeanor. He maintained a kind smile on his face, but soon he said something else shocking:
"However, Mr. Drake, now that it’s just the two of us, I’ll be straightforward."
"Why has someone like you, who possesses the original text and managed to avoid Barrier Mountain’s integration of the casting world, chosen to come to Barrier Mountain at this time?"
"As a reviewer, I must clarify one thing."
"What exactly is your true purpose?"
