Behind these human kingdoms, there often lurked the presence of wizard organizations.
They provided shelter for humans, while humans produced and gathered basic resources for them.
However, with the outbreak of the dark and righteous wizard war, the sporadic conflicts in these countries gradually evolved into widespread chaos.
During this period, countless humans were injured and killed.
To protect the future soil of the Wizard World, the congress allocated the most troops and resources to the continent of Midland.
Eventually, the war between dark and righteous wizards here was basically quelled.
Now, after the fires of war, there was a resurgence of prosperity, as humans and wizards together rebuilt their homes upon the ruins.
On the westernmost edge of the continent of Midland lay a desert, where red sands blanketed the earth, earning it the name “Red Soil Continent,” a land of drought and scorching heat.
Here, oases dotted the landscape sporadically.
On one such oasis, spanning thousands of miles in circumference…
Three thousand years ago, a mortal named “Armor King Tai Kula” established the “Tyra Kingdom” here.
Today, the kingdom, after the turmoil of war, had gradually returned to normalcy.
At the heart of the Tyra Kingdom stood a towering white tower, revered as a sacred site by the kingdom’s inhabitants.
It was The Tower of Singing Sands!
It was said that the ancestor of the Tower of Singing Sands, a powerful third-circle wizard, had aided King Tai Kula in establishing the kingdom.
Afterward, he erected a wizard tower here, founded a wizard organization, and passed down his legacy for three thousand years.
On this day, two rugged swordsmen dressed in casual attire strolled down the streets of the Tyra Kingdom.
It was Levi and Hogg.
They had arrived at a port city in the Red Soil Continent a month ago and had stayed hidden for a while for safety reasons.
Once they confirmed it was safe, they contacted the Black Knight and his companions.
Emperor Mu and his wife were far to the south of the continent of Midland, distant from Levi and his companions.
The Black Knight, currently training as an apprentice wizard at the Tower of Singing Sands, was much closer.
The Black Knight had a triple affinity for earth, fire, and wind, and was practicing the Earth Faction. He was likely still striving to become an official wizard.
Levi used the Hermit Rune to make himself look similar to Hogg, appearing as an ordinary human swordsman.
He had previously investigated and found that the strongest man in the Tyra Empire, the Tower Master of the Tower of Singing Sands, was only a third-circle wizard.
He had come here to meet the Black Knight and didn’t want to attract attention from the local power player.
In a dilapidated tavern, they encountered the Black Knight.
“Commander, what brings you here?”
“We’re just taking a stroll,” Levi replied.
In reality, they were fleeing from those who wanted to kill them and seeking refuge here.
But as the commander, it didn’t sound good to say so.
He had to maintain a friendly demeanor while still commanding respect and authority among his team members!
“Still haven’t become an official wizard yet?” Levi asked.
“Almost there. Once I become an official wizard, I plan to leave the Tower of Singing Sands. It’s located on the fringes of the Midland Continent, with scarce resources and a rare lineage of wizards. The entire wizard tower, except for an aging third-circle wizard, consists mainly of low-level wizards lacking vitality. But it’s safe. Currently, I’m just an apprentice wizard, but in this country, apart from the Tower Master, I am the second strongest,” the Black Knight chuckled.
“Alright, it’s good to explore other lands,” Levi said.
“Yeah, I’m staying here for another reason. From my observations, there are many knight families in the human kingdoms of Midland Continent. These families may have originated from knights who migrated here from the mortal world for various reasons. In some kingdoms, there are even tales of ‘legendary knights’. Commander, should we establish a small branch of the temple here to recruit more outstanding knights to strengthen our organization? We’ll conduct regular selection and trials, forming a group of excellent individuals and bringing them to our headquarters for the oath ceremony. To maintain secrecy, apart from us formal members, no one else will know about the temple’s existence until after the oath ceremony. I’ll establish a small knight mutual aid organization in the legendary knight’s name, the ‘Midland Knights’. This way, we’ll have two fronts advancing together. Eventually, one day in the future, the ‘Midland Knights’ of Midland Continent will grow under the nurturing of this land and become an indispensable force for the Dusk Holy Temple!”
After contemplating for a moment, Levi responded, “This idea is feasible. Relying solely on the mortal world, progress may be slow. The mortal world has experienced the Doomsday Era for too long, with shortages of secret medicines and the path of knights withering away, turning into historical dust. Although Midland Continent is known for wizards, it surprisingly retains some soil and heritage of knights. Let’s make use of it. The name ‘Midland Knights’ is also good.”
“Indeed, I agree. So, I’ll stay here as well, and together with the Black Knight, build the Midland Knights… Anyway, with our strength, we can’t do much for the commander in the mortal world,” Hogg chuckled bitterly.
“Agreed. Opportunities in Midland Continent are more abundant than in the Endless Sea, of course, the competition is fiercer too. But you’ll grow faster here.
The Saint Ape Knight and the Goddess Knight will also stay here. The four of you will form the ‘Midland Squad,’ with the Black Knight as the team leader, and establish the organization. Provide more excellent blood for the Dusk Holy Temple.”
