Chapter 600: The Secret of the Fall of the Floating City and the Magic Net Goddess Mystra

The Lost Floating City of Azera,
The interior of the magic tower is completely different from the exterior walls covered with mysterious magic patterns. It is like stepping into another quiet and grand world.

As soon as you step into the tower, the first thing that catches your eye is the empty and towering space. The sky-blue walls extend to the limit of your sight, and the height of more than 100 meters makes you look up in amazement.

The pure and deep blue is like the boundless clear sky, giving people a feeling of tranquility and far-reaching tranquility. There are no complicated magic runes and circuits on the outer wall, but it is inlaid with crystal clear crystals, emitting a soft and bright light, like the shining stars in the night sky.

In Li Si's eyes, there were many kinds of equipment of unknown use on the first floor of this core tower. It was obvious that this place had once been the core of the entire floating city, but thousands of years had passed and there was no human figure here anymore.

hum~
Just as Li Si was looking around the interior of the tower, a slight sound of movement broke the silence.

A magical lifting platform slowly descended from the top of the tower like an ark floating in the air.

The silver surface is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the light of the surrounding crystals.

The platform landed smoothly without any shaking, as if it was gently held down by an invisible magic hand.

It can be seen that this should be a special invitation for Li Si and Joyce.

Is it the magical intelligent life Azera?

Li Si and Joyce did not notice anything unusual and walked onto the platform.

For the two people who have already achieved legends, even if this uninhabited floating city was once the ultimate crystallization of the wizard's wisdom and could pose a threat to the two, it is basically impossible to keep Li Si and Joyce without a guardian.

After all, the mage is the core of the floating city.

The reason why the two floating cities of the Pan-Continental Mage Association are so powerful is actually a reflection of the Mage Association's strong strength.

Standing on the floating platform, Li Si and Joyce watched the surrounding scenery flying downwards rapidly. Countless floors with platform docking interfaces were skipped and they went straight to the highest floor.

Soon, the platform carried Li Si and the other man smoothly to the top of the tower.

Li Si walked down the platform and looked at the magic door that was already open in front of him. He and Joyce walked in without stopping.

"Welcome, Your Majesty Li Si, Your Majesty Joyce."

The gentle voice sounded again, the same voice that Li Si heard when he explored the floating city before.

Azera, the magical intelligent life that controls the entire floating city!

From that time on, apart from teaching Black Cat, Li Si never saw Azera again.

Is this the core control room of the floating city?
Li Si looked around the room. Apart from the magic pattern circuits and magic array patterns that extended all over the wall, and the blue orb that slowly rotated in the center of the room, there was nothing special.

Looking at the damaged blue bead, Li Si was a little surprised.

If this is Azera's true form, then it looks like she's not in good condition?
No wonder it had been in a dormant state before.

"Azera, can't you just get those elemental golems in front of the tower to leave earlier?"

"If Li Si demolishes it, it will take a lot of resources to repair it!"

The black cat stayed on Li Si's shoulder and spoke to the blue bead.

In its view, this floating city can be regarded as Li Si's property.

Li Si's, that's it.

During the time that Li Si was away, Azra had been guiding Black Cat to familiarize himself with the entire floating city.

The fact that Black Cat was able to "hack into" the magic pattern circuit of the Azera Floating City Library shows that this guy has this talent.

Although Azera did not give Black Cat too much authority, it also gave Black Cat the opportunity to familiarize himself with every place in the floating city.

Black Cat naturally knew that although the floating city would not lack magic power due to the presence of the Core of Misera, in addition to magic power, various precious magic materials were needed to build or maintain elemental golems.

It seems that there are still many elemental golems active in the Azera floating city, but it is completely incomparable to the heyday of the floating city.

And although the main body of the Azera floating city remains intact, the amount of magical materials consumed to repair it to its best condition is astronomical.

In this situation, Li Si and Joyce just dismantled four legendary elemental golems, and it would cost a lot of resources to repair them.

This is also why the black cat feels distressed.

It knew Azera's idea. After Li Si took control of the floating city, the black cat would be the magical intelligent life to manage the floating city.

"This is the rule of the floating city."

Azera's voice sounded again, without any change in tone:
"According to Article 2 of the [Final Terms of Azera Floating City], if you want to become the controller of Azera Floating City, you must break through the protection of the core tower."

"As for how the breakthrough was made, there is no limit to whether it was a breakthrough by one person or a breakthrough by cooperation."

"Humph!"

The black cat turned its head away and did not continue speaking, continuing to feel sorry for the elemental golem that it regarded as its possession.

"Azera, now that I'm here, does that mean I have the qualifications to be the master of this floating city?"

Li Si was talking to the blue bead, but Joyce on the side didn't care too much and left the communication to Li Si.

He looked around at the situation in the control room. There were several virtual screens on the wall that reflected the scenes of other locations in the floating city.

Is this the core of the entire Azera floating city?
Joyce thought of the agreement he had made with Li Si's father in the past, and felt a little emotional.

On the other side, Azera was communicating with Li Si.

"Yes."

Azera didn't beat around the bush and admitted it directly.

"According to Articles 1 and 2 of the [Final Terms of Azera Floating City], Lis Kane, you now have the qualifications to become the controller of Azera Floating City."

"I will hand over the highest control authority of Azera Floating City to you, and everything in the Floating City will be open to you!"

"it is good!"

Li Si clenched his right hand, feeling somewhat excited.

This was the only floating city that existed in the previous life. In the later bloody battle in the abyss, together with the two floating cities of the Pan-Continental Mage Association, the endless magic fire smashed countless abyss demons to pieces.

Even facing the siege of dozens of demon legends, not a single floating city was shot down.

Although it was protected by the legendary strongmen of various races in the Gaia world, it was enough to show how powerful the Azera Floating City was.

And now, Li Si is about to become the controller of the Azera floating city!

This is the dream of most legendary wizards!
Just as Li Si's heart was surging, Azera's voice sounded again:

"I will disappear after I hand over the authority of the floating city to you." "You can let the black cat take my place and manage the floating city for you. Then you don't have to spend time cultivating magical intelligent life from scratch."

"Black Cat will have no problem maintaining the operation of this floating city. Most of the information about the floating city is stored in the memory module of the control room. It can be checked at any time. I think it will help you get familiar with and control the entire floating city as soon as possible."

There was no fluctuation in Azera's voice, as if he was talking about news that had nothing to do with it.

Li Si was silent, then said:
"Can't you stay?"

"No."

Azera said softly:
"I can't maintain this status for much longer. After handing over the authority of the floating city, I don't have the basis to maintain this status anymore."

"Of course, the most important thing is that I am tired too."

Azera's voice finally revealed a hint of real emotion, mixed with emotions that were difficult to conceal.

"As a magical intelligent life form, I think it's good enough for me to be here."

"I hope you can make the floating city of Azera show its former glory again."

"Ah."

Sensing Azra's thoughts, Li Si didn't say anything more.

"Li Si, is there anything else you want to ask me?"

Azera seemed to feel a little relieved and asked Li Si:

"You now have temporary legendary privileges. I will answer anything you want to know."

Li Si was stunned and was indeed concerned.

"Azera, you said that everyone in the floating city had disappeared. What exactly happened in the floating city at that time?"

"Why did the floating city of Azera fall? Is it related to the disappearance of the magic empire of Netheril?"

Li Si did not miss the opportunity and asked Azera.

As the magical intelligent life that controls the floating city of Azera, Azera naturally knows a lot of things.

It just said that all the information in the floating city is registered in the memory module, so Azera should be the only one who remembers the information about the outside world.

“A lot of things were happening at the time”

Azera suddenly paused for a moment, as if recalling something, and then said to Li Si:

"Do you know Mystra, the goddess of the magic web?"

"know."

Li Si nodded and responded.

Although this goddess has disappeared for a long time, her name has been passed down and is even more famous than many existing gods.

Her aliases include the Mysterious Lady and the Mother of Magic. She is a neutral, good and powerful deity.

The reason why Mystra is so famous is that she created the magic network (Magic Net) that covers the entire Gaia world. Of course, there are also claims that Mystra is the embodiment of the magic network.

Before the emergence of the magic network, spellcasters were extremely rare in the Gaia world, because at that time the power of magic runes was not known to people, and casting spells was difficult and dangerous.

After the appearance of the magic network, people can use magic power to cast spells safely and easily through the magic network. At the same time, they can also continue to understand the mysteries of magic through the magic network, and deeply explore and master the power of magic.

When the magic network still existed, the difficulty of becoming a spellcaster was greatly reduced.

As long as you become a wizard or other spellcaster, you can leave your mark in the magic network, and have a different number of spell slots in the magic network depending on your strength.

Spellcasting, to put it simply, is the process in which a wizard uses his or her own abilities to construct a spell model that can accommodate magic power, and then consumes the magic power in combination with various magic materials to release the magic.

But this requires extraordinary wisdom, so it is very difficult for many people to become a magician.

But it’s different through the magic net.

Because there are spell models of almost all magic in the magic network, the spellcaster only needs to connect to the magic network regularly every day, and memorize the spells of the corresponding level in the spell slot through the magic network (this is also the origin of the need for mages to prepare spells every day at that time), and then they can directly construct the spell model.

The spells in each spell slot are ready for casting. When you need to use them, you only need to recite the spell and inject magic power to release them directly.

It can be said that this is a standard fool-proof teaching method, which saves spellcasters a lot of energy and time, and does not require too high requirements to use magic.

Of course, the disadvantage of using the magic network and spell slots is also obvious, that is, it is impossible to touch the essence of magic.

Then this spell memory model is only a surface memory, and it will disappear along with the spell after it is released, making it impossible for the caster to master it.

When the magic network still existed, it was also a limitation for those extremely talented spellcasters. However, becoming a great arcanist could gain higher casting authority in the magic network by studying magic, which was another way to improve one's strength.

After the goddess of magic disappeared, the magic web also disappeared, leaving only a small part of the remnant magic web still in operation, such as the shadow magic web that recorded shadow spells and the warlocks' bloodline spell magic web.

There are few records about this period, but fortunately the wizards have accumulated enough magical knowledge through the magic network. Under the leadership of the great archmages, they gradually got rid of their dependence on the magic network, mastered the ability to cast spells independently, and passed it down.

and many more!

The disappearance of Mystra, the goddess of the magic web, seemed to be at the same time as the disappearance of the magic empire of Netheril. Is there any connection between the two?

Azera did not disappoint Li Si, but said directly:

"The fall of the floating city and the disappearance of the Netheril Empire have a lot to do with Mystra, the goddess of the magic network."

"I didn't experience the specifics, but the messages sent from the floating cities of Netheril and Karsus should indicate that something went wrong with the goddess of the magic web, Mystra."

"The then-controller of the Azera Floating City, Archmage Kaio Holmes, left the floating city after receiving the summons."

"On the third day after he left, the Demon Network collapsed."

The Demon Network Collapses?
Li Si frowned slightly. This name seemed to be wrong?

"What is the Great Collapse of the Demonic Network?"

Li Si asked Azera.

"The collapse of the magic network has occurred twice in the history of the Netheril Empire. The magic network suddenly lost control and all spellcasters were unable to cast spells through the magic network."

"But in those two times, the magic network quickly returned to normal. As for the cause of the collapse, it is the empire's top secret, and the Azera Floating City is not qualified to view it."

"And the Great Collapse of the Demonic Web means that the Demonic Web completely disappears, collapses and dissipates."

"Unlike the previous two times, the Great Collapse even caused the spell slots in the mages' memories to collapse directly. Most of the mages died directly due to the impact of the collapsed magic power, with their brains shattered."
