With Richard's arrival, the Three Rings Wizards of the Garon Wizard Academy were basically all assembled.
Then, under Jimmy's lead, everyone flew towards the Tower of Truth.
On the way, Richard began to inquire about the wizard gathering from the other wizards attending the party.
As a recently advanced Three Rings Wizard, he was ignorant of many things.
"Hey, think of this gathering as a social mixer from your apprentice days,"
said Stio, standing beside Richard, with half of his skin iron-grey and the other half dark gold.
In the wars of the Green Forest World, Stio, though not having earned a fortune like Richard, had also reaped substantial rewards.
He had found a cell on one of the biological weapons that could metallize cell bones and skeletons.
The durability of these cells was far stronger than those in his body, even allowing for the integration of small amounts of pure gold into the cellular skeleton.
