Throne of Magical Arcana Chapter 786 - Journey of Discovery

Chapter 786: Journey of Discovery

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The prairie that looked entirely different from the four kingdoms of the strait and the north coastline and the creatures on the prairie with every detail manifested were demonstrated in the eyes of the audience, leading the audience to enjoy the exotic view and the unprecedented dinner for the eye.
For the people who probably had never left their own city or kingdom, such a view fascinated them, as if their souls were truly placed on the prairie. They were overwhelmed by the vast, refreshing view, shrieking and roaring at the predation on it.
In the Mills School of Nobles, the same screen stood at the central square. The noble students who had just finished their night classes were attracted to it. Then, their feet seemed to have been glued on the ground, making it impossible for them to move.
“Is this the prairie?” Jane, who had always been calm and quiet, looked at the greenness on the screen, which befitted all her romantic fantasies about the prairie in her reading. So, she mumbled uncontrollably. However, the experience this time was much lesser than that during her visit to space.
The noble friends next to her expressed their shock too. Even though their families had villas, manors, forests, and hunting grounds, there weren’t any such boundless prairies in Holm. That was the unique enticing view in the south of the Gusta Empire on the opposite side of the Storm Strait.
However, since they had enjoyed many beautiful views, their horizons were much broader than the common citizens. They were not entirely overwhelmed or lost, and they were still communicating with each other in a low voice.
“The live show this time is too surprising. Before, I only felt that ‘Man and Nature’ was fun. I never knew that it was so astounding until today.” The noble ladies were more or less romantics.
“This is not a live show. As Ms. Nightingale said before, it’s a satellite television.” Jane’s friend corrected her opinion and pressed her face, feeling that her cheeks were burningly hot. She said with a dreamy tone, “How I wish to go to the prairies, sit on the wild horses, and watch the setting sun dye the green grasses red. Jane, was the view in space even more splendid than this?”
Although they had repeated the topic many times, the boundless space was the forever romance.
“Yes. Stars were much more beautiful than on the ground. They were pure, clear, and some of them had beautiful halos…” Jane tirelessly described the scene again. What she saw and heard was deeply etched into her brain.
Without them knowing it, “Man and Nature” was over, and the picture was back to the studio. Nightingale smiled and said, “Starting from next Monday, ‘Man and Nature’ on ‘Arcana Voice’ will be stopped, and it will be aired in the Sky Channel of the Allyn Television Station. Correspondingly, we will have significant improvements and adjustments on other programs so that broadcast and satellite streams can carry out their own advantages. In the next show, you will see a brand new show that solely belongs to the Sky Channel and is different from any shows in the past. It will bring you a new and marvelous experience.
“My friends, are you ready?”
Ms. Nightingale’s sweet voice entered the ears of every member of the audience, waking them up from the shock brought by the world of grasses and animals. Even the most experienced adventurers had barely been to the Gusta Empire and the southern prairie. Naturally, they were fascinated too.
“What brand new show?”
“Can there be any show that is more exciting than the prairie?”
Nightingale’s words filled Longman, Jane, and Ali with curiosity and expectation.
Nightingale continued, “If you are ready, let’s begin a journey of exploration!”
The gentle light appeared and slowly disappeared. A blue ocean showed up on the ocean. The waves were surging, and the seabirds were flying up and down.
“Ocean!” It was still a major shock for the ordinary people who had never been to port cities, but having just appreciated a prairie, they were much less shocked than just now. It seemed no different from “Man and Nature” just now although the scene was different.
For the noble descendants like Jane, even if they had never traveled on a ship, they had visited the coastal cities like Padrey Port and enjoyed the freshness of the ocean. So, they were relatively calm. They talked to each other in confusion, “Is this really as good as Ms. Nightingale described?”
“No, I don’t think it’s a brand-new experience either.”
Looking at the screen, Jane was rather confident. For all these years, “Arcana Voice” never disappointed her. She trusted that “Sky Satellite TV Station” wouldn’t either!
At this moment, the camera drew close, revealing a steamship before everyone’s eyes. Eight magic cannons that were attached with the effect of Lucien’s Fireball pointed at all directions magnificently. Then, the camera drew even closer so that the audience could see the two males and two females on the deck.
“This is the ocean near the Sinel Island. We have accepted a contract with the islanders to investigate the floating dead fish that often occurred in the ocean recently…
“In the Sinel Island, there’s a story that goes like this. Many, many years ago, this place used to be the territory of a sorcerer, but he never appeared again after a certain day. From that day on, the islanders have been hearing appalling cries and seeing green fire floating on the ocean all the time. Sometimes, they are lost for days when they go out fishing. It is said that when the fishermen are lost, they will see a ‘lighthouse’ that they have never seen before in the event of a storm…”
As the magnetic male voice continued, Longman, who was still a teenager, had goosebumps all over his body. Was it a horror show?
“This ‘Journey of Discovery’ will be conducted by two middle-rank sorcerers and two grand knights. They will unravel the possible cause of the mysterious incident and look for the treasures behind it…”
After the narrator was done, the tough-looking middle-aged man on the deck cleaned his classic magic robe and said, “I’m Grilles, and I’m good at illusion, necromancy, and elements. I am the captain of this Journey of Discovery. We are about to reach the Sinel Island.”
Investigate a mysterious incident, explore the magic tower that possibly lingered, and search for the possible treasures… Longman, Jane, Ali, and the other ordinary people who never had any adventure before felt that their hearts were bursting. Their eyes were focused and excited, and they were completely focused on the program. What could the cause have been? Could they find it out? Would they run into any danger?
As for the adventurers, the noble knights, and the sorcerers, although they had similar experiences before, they had never been through a journey from such a perspective. So, they were also enthralled.
As the steamship reached the Sinel Island, the sorcerers, knights, apprentices, and squires dispersed and asked the islanders for clues. Those scenes were displayed to the audience in an orderly fashion. They were more and more devoted and even began their own analysis in a low voice, proposing possible answers and pointing out the self-contradictions in the islanders’ testimony now and then.
In their investigation, Grilles and the other sorcerers used magic to help themselves, solving the problems that the audience thought tricky easily. They were so astounded that they couldn’t have admired magic more.
Half an hour into the program, and “three days” later in local time, the investigation reached a preliminary conclusion. All clues led to certain waters.
“Therefore, we need to explore the bottom of this part of the ocean…” While talking, Grilles cast ancillary spells such as “Underwater Breathing”, leading the other three middle-rank professionals into the ocean.
“They… They are really going into the water…”
“Are they really going to explore it?”
Exclamations of shock echoed now and then. None of the audience could believe that they would witness a real adventure.
The water around shook softly, and both common and bizarre fish swam by quickly, dazzling the audience. Occasionally, fierce sea monsters came at them, only to be finished by the knights and sorcerers easily.
Even a serene girl like Jane couldn’t help but feel that she was palpitating. Although she lived a peaceful life and disliked changes, she more or less had adventure fantasies, and since such fantasies could be experienced without her taking any real action, she was naturally attracted by it. She was amazed by the splendid spells and scared by the sea monsters that popped up out of nowhere. Her feelings were fluctuating more intensely than ever.
It was exactly the feeling that more members of the audience shared. So, when the shabby, broken magic tower at the bottom of the ocean appeared, all the squares were filled with cheers after gasps.

The magic tower was opened, but the golems at the gate suddenly lunged at the strangers, raising rounds of exclamations…
Slow, Ice, Fireball, and the other spells were cast, leading to praises and compliments…
Ghosts, secret chambers, treasure boxes, and traps appeared one after another. The atmospheres on the squares were almost frozen. Everybody was looking forward to what would happen next.
After Grilles finished the last monster and destroyed the magic tower, a wind suddenly blew on the square, causing everybody to gasp at the same time. Their palms were sweating, and their expressions were twisted. Excited and scared, they learned what the “new and wonderful experience” was through the unprecedented journey and exploration.
“‘Arcana Voice’ is too boring compared to satellite TV…” Longman’s father said sincerely.
Longman agreed with him, but he was reluctant to admit it. “Some programs are more suitable as radios, like those which you have to listen to with full attention…”
“This is much more thrilling than plays, operas, and the bards’ stories!” The common audience in the city square and the noble students in the Mills school remarked in the same way in excitement. It was an authentic “adventure” without any disguise!
“Even Earth does not have such reality shows…” In the Atomic Universe, Lucien, who was watching the “TV show” with Natasha, Grand Duke of Orvarit, Joel, Alisa, and John, had a lot of mixed feelings. “Even though broadcast hasn’t been popularized here… Should I invent a ‘Wilderness Survival’ or ‘A Bite of Holm’?”
