Bab 70: The Concept of A Wizard

The next morning, everyone woke up precisely when the tower bell started chiming. The first thing that they did was to change into the gray robes of a wizard apprentice then they hurried to the wizard tower on the precipice.

White stone steps led to the summit, like a path to heaven. All of the apprentices looked up as they ran toward the tower and by the time they reached the top, they were all out of breath. The full glory of the tower could only be felt when they stood at its apex!

The tower had been built by a thousand ant-people workers, laboring day and night without rest for half a year. It would be impossible to calculate how much labor and time would have been necessary, should the tower have been built by humans instead.
