Chapter 165 The Origin of Names

The staff member took out a registration form and asked Nausica to fill in her personal information.

Instead of filling it out right away, Nausica turned to Angel and asked: “Don’t you need one? Aren’t you going to take advantage of this rare opportunity to rush up to the top?”

Angel shook his head. “I’m not fully recovered yet. I’ll talk about it later in a few days.”

Nausica leaned into Angel’s ear and whispered. “In fact, when you go on stage. You can just let Toby fight directly, right? With Toby’s strength, you should be able to make it through very quickly.”

Angel had previously stayed watching the “King of Beast” battle before and already had the desire to let Toby fight. With Toby’s strength, he can indeed be unhindered in the first few levels. In particular, Toby has realized the gravity law insight and can produce an increase in instantaneous explosive force, making up for his shortcomings in strength. Originally, Toby’s speed had been difficult to capture with the naked eye. But now his speed is even faster, and his close combat capability has also been greatly improved.

Nausica’s proposal hit right into Angel’s heart, but he still shook his head firmly: “Not for the time being. You go ahead. We’d better split up and fight separately. I don’t want to fight against you in the battle arena.”

Nausica shrugged her shoulders at Angel’s insistence and dissuasion. “What you said is also reasonable, and it’s hard for us to deal with each other. Fighting separately can also avoid this situation.”

After a pause, Nausica said with a smile. “But if we are matched together. I won’t go easy on you. I really want to have a fight with you.”

Angel didn’t get angry and said: “I will not go easy on you either, but now I have only learned Cleansing. My other aspects are similar to mortals, so I will not be able to defeat you.”

Nausica smiled without saying a word, then turned to take the pen and paper and began to fill it out.

Sky Tower’s registration form is simple, requiring only one name and an affiliated organization to be registered with.

The affiliated organization naturally filled out is the Savage Grottoes… Nausica originally intended to fill in her own name, but the staff member kindly warned her: “Dear lady, I suggest you better use a nickname. Because some Mystical Branch Wizards can hurt you by using your real name. As the fairest battle tower in the Southern Region, we naturally do not want anyone to win a battle in this manner.”

Now that the staff had mentioned it, Nausica did not refuse to take out the registration form and re-fill out her nickname. She didn’t think much but filled it out as: Pirate.

After taking it over to the staff member. The staff slightly raised their eyebrow at the name and reminded her. “Once you fill in the name, you are not allowed to modify it anymore. Madam, are you sure you want to use this name?”

Nausica nodded without hesitation.

The staff thought about and tried to dissuade her. “Madam, you may not understand but the name you recorded at Sky Tower will accompany you all the way throughout your life. Even if you arrive at Infinity Battle Tower, the name cannot be changed. Sky Tower is a battle tower owned by Sky Machinery City. The more famous you are in the Southern Region. The louder and more famous your name will be. In the future, if you qualify as a formal Wizard, it is likely your name will be recognized because of your reputation in Sky Machinery City. For example, Sleepless City’s famous Wizard–King of the Night, Mudrik, his name was actually recognized when he first filled out his registration form. Along the way, he became an official Wizard, and now his name has spread widely. Everyone knows his name in the Southern Region of the Wizard Plane.”

After hearing these words, Angel finally understood why the competitors in the battle arena had names that were so grand. They were preparing for a “possible future.” Although 99% of the apprentices have prepared names that may not necessarily come in handy, they still hold onto the hope.

Nausica has also fallen into thinking, and if she does happen to be promoted. As the staff member said, she really needs to change her name.

The staff did not rush her. They were waiting patiently with a smile. They naturally hope the competitor has a bigger name. If the name is too weak, it is not conducive to their excitement. So, using a bigger name is actually a win-win situation.

After a while, Nausica wrote down the final decision for her name in the name column: King of Blackberry.

This is the name she was called on wanted notices when she was a pirate by various countries. Having been referred to as such for so many years, she is used to this name.

After the staff took over the form, they saw the established format of “King of xx” and received the registration form with great satisfaction. Although they did not know exactly what “Blackberry” meant.

“Your Excellency King of Blackberry, according to the regulations, you are now a competitor on the first floor. You have to compete once a month. Otherwise, your reputation in Sky Tower will be reduced. The lower your reputation, the fewer contribution points you will get for each battle you win.” The staff continued, “In order to ensure your reputation, please try making a scheduled trip to Sky Tower within a month.”

“I don’t need to wait. Please arrange a fight for me right now.” Nausica said.

“Alright, please come with me.” With a brilliant smile, the staff member brought Nausica into the waiting area to conduct a battle selection.

…

Before Nausica chose the name, neither Shalem nor Angel spoke up until she decided upon it. After, they secretly murmured what kind of names they would choose if they went to fight in the competition.

“My future name will be: Pride of Versailles!” Shalem said. “When I get promoted to a formal Wizard, my name will spread all over the world and Versailles will be proud of me. Maybe Queen Sharon will meet me in person.”

“Pride of Versailles, that name sounds a little childish. I remember Nausica saying the rose fields in the Principality of Versailles are quite famous. Why don’t you call yourself the Rose of Versailles?” Angel laughed and joked.

Shalem thought about it seriously: “Rose of Versailles sounds good too. It not only shows my identity but can also publicize the specialities of my country. But isn’t it a little too feminine to use a rose in my name?”

“By the way, Angel, aren’t you climbing the tower too? What kind of name will you choose?” Asked Shalem.

Angel thought for a moment and shook his head. “I don’t know. I don’t want it to be too big. I don’t want my name to sound too pompous. Let’s talk about it later.”

“It’s really a good question to think about. I’m looking forward to your name!” Shalem said.

At this time, Nausica also walked back from the waiting area.

“Who are you up against, Miss Nausica?” Shalem couldn’t wait to ask.

Nausica smiled and did not speak but pointed to the transparent screen on one side of the hall: “Later, when my battle information is revealed on the crystal screen, you can see for yourself.”

The crystal screen constantly rings while it scrolls up the information of each arena. Who wins, who goes through, who gained how much contribution points…

In the mess of scrolling messages, a new battle message jumps out: Half an hour later, the seventh ring on Sky Tower First Floor. King of Blackberry VS Immortal Ice Emperor!

“Immortal Ice Emperor…” Angel pointed out the new message.

“Well, it’s him.” Shalem saw it too, with a stiff expression: “With Miss Nausica’s fighting power, it’s more than enough to deal with him. Cough, I won’t go and see.”

“… I also won’t go and see the battle either.” Angel also echoes his choice. He is afraid to see that battle again. His three views will be subverted by this man, ah! The strange man who can change the name of Frost Fall to Ice and Snow arbitrarily, this obscenity can’t be viewed from a distance, ah! Don’t get involved with it. God knows whether the next time he will change Freezing into Eternal Permafrost or something else.

Nausica doesn’t care if the two come to watch her battle. “Okay, wait for the good news!”

…

Nausica stayed in Sky Tower’s waiting area while waiting for the battle. Angel and Shalem did not walk together after they had left, but each had something they had to do and went their separate ways.

Shalem is picking up a spell that suits his branch, and Angel is heading to Promi Alchemy Shop to find David.

After Successfully finding Promi Alchemy Shop, he noticed the doorway was still lined up with a large number of people. These are guests that want to give alchemy request to Master Promi. However, Master Promi still did not appear. Angel could still see David standing at the door while explaining to the guests.

After the crowd dispersed, Angel stepped forward.

“Master Promi is not in today, if you have any business, please come next time… Gee, it’s Angel!” David has explained the same thing to several groups of people today. So, when he heard footsteps behind him. He reads out his lines directly, but who knows when he turned around. It was Angel who came.

“What are you doing here? Oh! I remember. Have you been promoted?” David happily welcomed Angel into the store: “I’ll send you the information about the Sky Tower contestants.”

Last time the two agreed David would share the information he had collected about the Sky Tower seed contestants with Angel, but at that time Angel did not advance to an apprentice and did not have a crystal ball.

Promi Alchemy Shop hasn’t changed much. It’s still messy. David manages to make a clean table for Angel to take out the crystal ball to put it on the table. Then he took out a crystal ball himself and injected magic power to operate the transfer of information into Angel’s crystal ball.

“There is too much data, and it’s so troublesome to transmit it.” David, with one mind. Spoke his two problems to Angel. “It will take about ten minutes to transmit.”

“We can take our time to transmit it. I happen to have something to ask of you too.”

“What is it?”

“As I told you last time, I’m learning alchemy. I want to buy a bunch of low-level junior materials to practice with.” Angel continued: “I wonder if you have any reserves here? I’ll buy it at the market price.”

“As you are first coming into contact with alchemy, you want to get started refining right away? Isn’t it a little too fast? You have to study theory, spells and the basics of alchemy too.” David did not understand.

“I want to learn and practice at the same time. While I still have plenty of contribution points, I want to have more opportunities to practice.” Angel said.

David thought about the balance on Angel’s bone card and said nothing more. He also wanted to use the money to accumulate proficiency, but it was too extravagant for him. He could only perfect his alchemy step by step. It took five years to create his first alchemy work.

“I have many low-grade materials on my side. If you practice, you can just use the materials that are not up to standard.” David paused and said, “I almost forgot. You said you were going to learn alchemy. Which route are you taking?”
