White Elephant Tower No. 5 was one of the six wizard towers in the Land of Six Towers. The six white towers each had different animal shapes.

White Lion Tower No. 1, White Dragon Tower No. 2, White Hound Tower No. 3, White Ox Tower No. 4, and White Horse Tower No. 6.

The six signal towers had the same basic functions but slightly different divisions of labor. They were structures that had existed for at least three thousand years.

So when Locke followed the Philade family members, walking together on the spiral stone stairs outside the White Elephant Tower, heading along the stairs toward the internal passage, he could see many traces left by time in the details of the White Elephant Tower.

On the various magical stone materials of the White Elephant Tower, every piece had bloodstains, or some kind of rust marks, or some kind of traces of having been bombarded by magic.

Above were ancient traces that could only be left after experiencing the passage of years.

Even the current wizards of the Land of Six Towers didn't know what this ancient White Elephant Tower had actually experienced.

Throughout the long years, this giant wizard tower had experienced several different masters, and its uses had been completely different.

Wizard Anthony, as the host, led Locke up 6000 steps along the white tower, a total height of one kilometer, finally entering an entrance at the very bottom of the White Elephant Tower, walking into the interior of the White Elephant Tower.

Inside the White Elephant Tower was like a massive building, extremely complex within. In the middle were floating steps created by alchemists, allowing wizards to step on the steps and freely ascend and descend in the center hub of the White Elephant Tower.

And the White Elephant Tower's height was an extremely exaggerated 50km.

Under Anthony's introduction, Locke learned that the White Elephant Tower's surface height was 20km. This was already heaven-defying, equivalent to directly passing through the sky's troposphere and stratosphere from the ground.

But the White Elephant Tower's underground depth was even deeper, a full 30km.

This elephant tower itself was a huge centralized mining equipment. Large numbers of commoner miners and even wizard miners would transport collected ore from underground to the White Elephant Tower, then the White Elephant Tower would transport it to the surface.

It could be said that the six signal towers not only constantly protected the wizards of the Land of Six Towers, but had even become the main passage connecting the surface and underground.

Wizard Anthony, as the host, eloquently introduced the White Elephant Tower to Locke. He was extremely pleased, holding an elephant-head staff in his hand, saying in a low voice, "Junior brother, this elephant-head staff of mine can represent the Philade family's decision-maker and activate a portion of the White Elephant Tower's permissions."

"Of course, to fully activate the White Elephant Tower, one must obtain a drop of blood from a pureblood Philade family wizard and pureblood wizards from the two ruling families to fully activate this White Elephant Tower."

"If the ruling families don't have Philade family blood, they must use at least a drop of blood from twenty mid-level prestigious family pureblood wizards to fully use the White Elephant Tower."

Anthony introduced, "The fully used White Elephant Tower is extremely terrifying. With just one crystallization wizard leading, even Second Circle wizards cannot breach it."

"According to the Plutarch family's statement, as long as the six white signal towers in the Land of Six Towers are fully activated at the same time, with each wizard signal tower presided over by at least one crystallization stage First Circle wizard, they can resist a Third Circle wizard's attack."

Wizard Anthony said to Locke, "So for wizards of the Land of Six Towers, pureblood wizards are so important because pureblood wizard bloodlines can activate the six signal towers."

After listening, Locke couldn't help but nod and observed the interior furnishings of this White Elephant Tower.

He saw that inside the White Elephant Tower was like countless precision mechanical units rapidly operating. Miners and wizards were each performing their duties within.

After they stood on the floating steps and went up another 5km, they reached the location of [White Elephant Magic Gem University].

The style changed again here. Inside were school districts, laboratory districts, ore analysis districts, and bloodline research districts.

It clearly had the style of academic research.

Then going up another 5km, it became residential districts. Among them were many ecologically beautiful scenic areas, some like ocean view living areas, some like beaches, or tropical rainforests. The styles of these living areas were very diverse.

Then, going further up was where [White Elephant Magic Gem University] held magic gem feasts.

Locke nodded slightly. It seemed these six white signal towers were the most important resource in the Land of Six Towers. Whoever could control them could possess power.

This giant wizard tower itself was a multi-functional building, equivalent to a skyscraper. Inside were many architectural spaces, each used for different functions.

Along the way, they stepped on floating steps, ascending inside this tower reaching to the heavens. There were also some wizards stepping on floating steps coming down from above.

When they encountered each other, because the speed wasn't fast, wizards could greet each other.

Many wizard students and formal wizards, seeing the Philade family group, would hurriedly call them dean/director/lord in a fawning manner. Even Locke was called mentor by several wizard students.

Those wizard apprentices who were very good at networking and particularly skilled at currying favor had already begun sizing up Locke. From the Philade family's attitude toward Locke, they could tell Locke's status in the Philade family was definitely not low.

Some wizard students had even begun planning how to curry favor with this new First Circle wizard who suddenly entered the White Elephant Tower.

On the floating steps, Peggy interjected, "So our Land of Six Towers only needs to maintain six crystallization First Circle wizards to become an iron wall."

"We can save considerable funds and don't need to worry about our safety like other wizard lands. Whether black wizards, natural disasters, or surface magical creature group riots, all can be suppressed with the six white towers."

"Moreover, our Land of Six Towers has countless ore vein resources. Just by selling raw ore stones externally, we can obtain continuous funding. We don't need to compete with others for projects at all."

Peggy spoke extremely proudly, "Our Land of Six Towers' resources are uniquely blessed. This is why we don't have black wizards here."

"Even though the Land of Six Towers doesn't have Second Circle wizards, we still don't fear other wizard lands."

Locke finally understood why the Land of Six Towers was the way it was now.

This place didn't need to worry much about defense issues or resource issues. Because their underground ore vein excavation was equivalent to a naturally super-massive project, this led to wizards here not needing to be as internally competitive as wizards in other wizard lands.

This should have been a good thing.

But this comfort undoubtedly nurtured certain thoughts in some wizards here, causing them to shift from pursuing truth to pursuing power and desire.

It even led Peggy, a First Circle wizard, to actually say such outrageous words as the Land of Six Towers not needing Second Circle wizards.

Wizard Anthony smiled, "Locke, it's said that all this still isn't the White Elephant Tower's true capability. This ancient building's history is really too long, so we can no longer figure out what else it can actually do."

"It's said that we wizards of the Land of Six Towers only have usage rights to these six wizard towers, never true management rights. Of course, this is also just a legend."

Wizard Anthony said, "I've had the fortune to meet Grand Wizard Sulla and speak some words with him. He's truly an elder full of wisdom. His words always give me some new knowledge."

"He told me that those wizards who believe Land of Six Towers family wizards only have usage rights to the six white towers but not management rights are probably mythologizing these six wizard towers too much."

Wizard Anthony said, "This statement is like some wizards saying we wizards can only control our own hands and feet but cannot command our own brains to stop certain endocrine circulation in the body, stop secreting some hormones. So we only have usage rights to our own bodies but not true management rights."

"It's a comparison with a unique perspective but not much practical significance."
