Angele followed Ainphent, telling Asuna that he would contact her later since they had already exchanged their communication sigils.

Asuna understood that she would not be allowed in the wizard area so she nodded and left.

Angele followed Ainphent down the hill, and he started seeing more wizards on the way after passing several intersections with other mountain roads.

"I don’t mind it if you prefer to date men, however, if you’re interested in me, I’ll have to say sorry," Angele said with a low voice, his eyebrows furrowed.

Ainphent smiled. "What if I tell you, I was once a woman before the accident happened during an experiment, will you believe me?"

Angele was surprised. "What? You were a woman?"

He stared at Ainphent and observed him again.

Ainphent’s face was handsome, his white short hair clean and straight. His skin was a bit pale, but his body was balanced and strong. Angele found nothing that indicated the gentleman in front of him had once been a female.

"Do you mind if I ask what the experiment was about?"

Angele found it hard to believe, but he understood that wizards did strange experiments all the time.

"I can’t tell you the details, but I was infected by polluted energy leaking out of containers. Something in my body changed and I failed to find a way to stop it. My appearance became like this after several years," Ainphent explained. He sounded depressed.

Angele did not know what he should say after listening to Ainphent’s words. They stopped chatting and walked down the path quietly.

The left side of the path was a mountain and the right side was a large cliff. A waterfall was cascading down the rocks under the cliff and the water was joining a river in the canyon below.

On the farther side, there was a high, white obelisk hidden in thin mist. The surface of the obelisk was smooth like a mirror, and it looked identical to the black pillar by the entrance except for the pyramidal top.

Angele raised his head and saw a white glow on the top of the tall obelisk.

A tiny black dot was slowly leaving the top of the obelisk, flying to the left, however, it was too far away from Angele for him to see what it was.

Ainphent noticed what Angele was staring at and explained, "Are you looking at the obelisk? There are six of them and they are called ‘Signal Obelisks’. The six obelisks are arranged in such a way that they form a giant circle. The place is named Six Ring High Tower not because of the layer but rather that each obelisk exists as an individual ring that completes the circle. It’s also one of the most famous visitor attractions on the west coast."

He pointed at the areas that were blocked by the mountains.

"Without those mountains, you’d be able to see the other two Signal Towers. They have the same height and look exactly just like the one you’re staring at."

"Indeed, they’re magnificent."

Angele nodded.

"These obelisks were built at least 3000 years ago, and they were almost destroyed during the wars. However, after years of repairing, they’re now in good shape. The obelisks have witnessed the fall and rise of the west coast," Ainphent added.

It was the first-time that Angele had seen one of the wonders of this world.

The two were walking down when they heard something wings flapping on the side.
