"What kind of inspection?" Herag asked.

"It's mainly to check if you've been polluted. If you have, you'll be immediately banished and won't be able to enter Silver Moon City," Pries explained.

"Banishment... doesn't that mean..."

Herag glanced at the blackened land outside the protective barrier, which was an area polluted by the wasteland.

If he were banished here, it would mean being exiled to the polluted area.

The outcome awaiting him surely wouldn't be pleasant.

Pries patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, you're all wizards from the Barren Land. It's impossible for you to be polluted."

Herag nodded, outwardly appearing more relaxed.

But inside, he was a bit anxious.

Because he had the Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline power within him, which belonged to the Abyss Plane.

Herag wasn't clear on the inspection methods or the standards for determining pollution, so he felt some tension.

If they determined he was polluted due to the Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline, he wouldn't be able to explain himself, nor could he.

But there was no retreat now; he couldn't just run away, as that would appear too suspicious.

Herag felt the plane coordinates in the palm of his left hand.

If things went wrong, he would activate the plane coordinates and escape to the Abyss Plane.

Although it would also be dangerous over there, there was no other choice.

After the airship landed, a long ladder was lowered from each deck level.

Herag and the others naturally didn't need the long ladder; they could easily float down with a Feather Fall Technique.

A total of sixteen people disembarked from the airship; the others seemed to be airship staff and did not get off.

After Herag and his group got off, the airship took off again, flying off into the distance.

Herag's group stayed where they were, not wandering around as Pries instructed, waiting for the inspection phase to start.

The others chatted casually, seemingly used to it.

Herag glanced at Silver Moon City, realizing only upon arrival how tall the city walls were.

From the air, he hadn't felt much, but standing beneath the city walls, looking up, he felt their immense height.

The city gate was initially closed but slowly opened after a while, and a group of black-robed individuals walked out.

The group was tightly wrapped in black robes, even their faces were completely covered with black veils.

"Don't resist," Pries whispered to Herag and the other two.

Hearing him speak, Herag was taken aback. Before he could react, the black-robed individuals pulled out stoppered vials, removed the stoppers, and threw them toward Herag and the others.

The vials shattered upon nearing them, releasing a pink mist.

The mist instantly enveloped Herag and the others. Herag smelled a fruity fragrance but couldn't identify the fruit—it was unfamiliar to him.

A moment later, the pink mist dissipated.

Pries looked at Herag and the other two, "All right, you can enter the city now."

"That's it?" Herag was bewildered, not having realized the inspection was already over.

He had been considering a quick escape to the Abyss Plane if anything came up during the inspection.

"Of course, why, you want to stay outside?" Pries laughed.

The black-robed group had already turned and left, their movements smooth and practiced, likely done many times before.

Herag exchanged a glance with David and Reese, then followed Pries into Silver Moon City.

Pries explained as they proceeded, "The pink mist earlier is called Rain Dew Reagent. It's highly sensitive to various sources of pollution like wasteland contamination. Even a tiny trace turns it blood red. Even if a slight bit is hidden in you, the Rain Dew Reagent would detect it."

"If you haven't come into contact with any pollution sources, it just disappears, and nothing happens."

Herag nodded, "No wonder they left without a word."

Following Pries past the city gate, the heavy, massive gate closed behind them with a dull thud.

Herag looked into Music City, where many tall structures came into view.

If not for the architectural style differing from his previous world, Herag could have thought it was a modern city.

The roads were spacious and clean, all paved with white stones.

Many 10 to 20-story buildings stood within the city.

Looking down the street, he was relieved to see carriages were still the mode of transportation, although the horses were not ordinary.

The horses here clearly had demon bloodlines, horns growing from their heads, their muscles rippling clearly as they ran, showing their immense power.

Silver Moon City was vast, larger than any city Herag had seen in the Barren Land, almost like a small kingdom.

The streets bustled with people, both wizards and ordinary folks.

In the time he stood there, Herag had already seen many Level 1 Official Wizards, and Wizard Apprentices were numerous.

Of course, ordinary people outnumbered them, making up the majority.

Herag looked up and exclaimed, "That is..."

Upon looking up, he saw a massive Floating City hovering high above Silver Moon City.

Hearing his exclamation, Pries looked up and smiled, "That's Lord Parker's residence, also the only Floating City in Silver Moon City. Each Floating City has a complete internal system. Even if the Land of Dawn were entirely polluted, a Floating City would remain unharmed. However, building a Floating City comes at a high cost, something an ordinary wizard can't even dream of."

Herag nodded, ceasing his curiosity for now, as it had little to do with him at the moment.

"Let's go and register your information in the Land of Dawn's Magical Network. Here, your identity is crucial and very convenient," Pries smiled.

Although Herag and the other two weren't entirely sure, they obediently followed Pries.

After walking a bit, Herag noticed that it seemed a tall tower appeared in every area.

"Mr. Pries, what are these towers?" Herag asked.

"Those are Wizard Towers," Pries explained.

"Wizard Towers? So many!" Herag had assumed there'd be just one tower per city, but it seemed each area had one.

Pries nodded, "That's right, those are Wizard Towers. Their design is to increase resilience and the city's risk mitigation. If there was just one Wizard Tower, and it fell, the city would be doomed. But with many Wizard Towers, each is independent and has its own functions."
