Chapter 780 Accident
Minos Floating City

Li Si stepped out of the teleportation array and, under the respectful gaze of the surrounding attendants, left the teleportation array area and arrived above this floating city.

Stepping out of the building, a magnificent new scene unfolded before Li Si like a scroll painting.

This is a floating city suspended above the snow-white clouds, like a mysterious gem lost in the sky, exuding a captivating charm.

The overall color scheme of the Minos floating city leans towards silver-gray.

That silver-gray is not a monotonous color, but rather, under the sunlight, it shimmers with varying shades of luster, as if it were the marks left by the careful carving of time.

From afar, it looks like a dreamlike realm cast in silver, contrasting beautifully with the white clouds, a scene of breathtaking beauty.

In the center of the floating city of Minos stands a very conspicuous and enormous magic tower.

This magic tower seems to be the soul of the entire floating city.

The tower has a streamlined shape, and its outline seems to conform to some kind of world rule, with smooth and beautiful lines, as if it were a masterpiece created by nature.

It points straight to the sky, as if trying to pierce through the endless firmament and explore the deepest mysteries of the world.

However, the most striking part is the top of this tower.

There, a huge silver ring floated, like a mysterious cycle.

The silver ring was covered with all sorts of obscure and incomprehensible patterns.

Those patterns are like ancient runes intertwined, containing endless magic and secrets.

Li Siduo glanced at the patterns on the ring a few more times. With his eyesight, he could still see them clearly even though they were far away.

However, he was surprised to find that the pattern seemed somewhat similar to the magic pattern, but was completely different.

Li Si didn't even recognize a single special pattern.

However, the occasional glimmer of light appearing on the circular patterns proves that the patterns are not random drawings.

A completely new system?

Li Si was somewhat curious.

You should know that with his current knowledge, he is familiar with magic runes, elven magic runes, dragon runes, and even ancient giant magic runes.

The patterns on the ring were unlike anything he had ever seen before.

Now, the silver ring is slowly rotating around the top of the tower, each rotation seemingly causing the surrounding air to flow, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura.

Li Si stared at the silver ring for a moment.

Perhaps this is what makes the floating city of Minos so special.

Around the giant magic tower, a dozen or so other magic towers stand in a staggered arrangement.

These magic towers vary in size and shape. Some are like sharp cones piercing the sky, while others are as solid and stable as cylinders.

Their colors echo the central magic tower, sharing the same silver-gray base, but with subtle differences in detail.

Some of the towers are inlaid with dazzling gemstones, which shimmer with colorful light in the sunlight;
Some of the towers are carved with exquisite patterns, so lifelike that they seem to leap off the tower at any moment.

These magic towers echo the central magic tower, forming a vast and mysterious magic circle. They are like loyal guardians, protecting the peace and secrets of this floating city.

Under the influence of these magic towers, the entire floating city seemed to be shrouded in a veil of mystery.

That veil is so subtle, it's hard to see clearly, yet it draws you in deeply.

When Li Si was in this floating city, he felt a strange sensation.

It was a shock from the depths of his soul, as if it connected Li Si with this floating city.

This was a feeling Li Si had never experienced in the floating city of Kane.

This floating city of Minos before us seems to be something extraordinary!

Li Si became even more interested in the Minos Sky City before him.

Without further delay, Li Si headed straight for the magic tower in the center of the city.

The extraordinary knowledge that Li Si wanted to learn and exchange this time was all of the highest secret level from the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

Just as the magical intelligent being Minos said, to prevent leaks, Li Si could only view this level of extraordinary knowledge by going to the circular tower where the Minos intelligence was located.

On his way to the circular tower, Li Si also took a brief look around at the Minos floating city.

Unlike in Jonas City, the people who can appear in the floating city are somewhat different.

Li Si could tell that these people were basically spellcasters.

Moreover, their strength is quite considerable, much stronger than those association members in Jonas City.

However, the mages who can appear in the Minos floating city are all elites of the association.

It's quite normal for someone to behave this way.

Li Si walked among the crowd in the floating city, but no one noticed her presence.

Arriving directly inside the circular tower, Li Si quickly boarded the magic energy platform and arrived at a hidden spot within the tower.

Upon arriving here, Li Si found no other people around him.

This is the most crucial part of the Minos floating city, as evidenced by the intermittent magical glow emanating from the surrounding walls.

This state of holding back was enough to make Li Si feel threatened.

As expected of one of the two floating cities under the control of the Pan-Continental Mage Association, Li Si was certain that the Minos Floating City was completely intact.

It might even be stronger than when it was in the Netheril Magic Empire.

This situation made Li Si even more curious about it.

As Li Si advanced, door after door opened in front of him.

Soon, guided by Minos, Li Si arrived at an extremely spacious room.

Li Si could sense that the spacious area in front of him was the core of the circular tower.

"Congressman Li Si, please wait a moment."

As Minos's voice stopped...
A crystal radiating a mysterious silver light descended slowly and gracefully from the opening above the room.

Its surface is not smooth and uniform, but rather composed of countless delicate facets.

Under the light, it refracts a colorful yet cool glow, like a treasure from a dream.

This multifaceted crystal floated steadily in the center of the room, as if gently supported by an invisible force, still yet full of dynamic beauty.

At the same time, the once empty and quiet room began to undergo a strange change.

Those magical elements that were originally hidden in the formless world were awakened by some mysterious power and gradually condensed into dazzling ribbons of light.

These light strips come in various shapes and sizes; some resemble winding serpents, gracefully weaving through the corners of the room; others are like flowing ribbons, dancing lightly in the air; and still others are like a dazzling galaxy, radiating a soft and enchanting light.
They emerged from all directions of the room, slowly converging towards the head-sized crystal in the center, like rivers flowing into the sea.

The light bands encircled the crystal, forming a dreamlike halo that made the crystal appear even more mysterious and noble.

The entire room was enveloped in this dreamlike scene, as if one were in a fantasy world.

A faint, magical aura permeated the air, captivating people and making them forget all the troubles and weariness of reality.

I just want to quietly appreciate this rare and wonderful scene and feel the awe and beauty brought by magic.

Li Si watched this scene quietly, and even with his legendary mage-level willpower, he was somewhat infected by this strange feeling.

This feeling was similar to when he first came into contact with the extraordinary realm when he was still at the Silver Rank.

That special feeling is intoxicating.

It was just like the feeling he had when he first arrived in the Minos floating city and saw the circular tower for the first time.

interesting?
Is this something special about a floating city in its complete state?

Or is this simply a unique feature of the Minos floating city itself?

Li Si pondered this in his heart, watching the silver crystal slowly rotating in front of him.

“Congressman Li Si, please place your hand on the crystal in front of you,” Minos’s voice rang out.

Li Si looked at the multifaceted silver crystal in front of him, but did not rush to place his hand on it. Instead, he asked:

"Is this, Minos, your AI core?"

"Yes, Mr. Lee Si."

Minos's voice rang out, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"You have requested to view information at the association's highest level of confidentiality."

"According to the association's confidentiality regulations, this information is stored in the magical intelligent life crystal of the floating city."

"Associate Delegate Li Si, please rest assured."

"My intelligent core is connected to the protective barriers of the entire floating city, so it won't be easily damaged."

"Unless it is a defense that can destroy the entire floating city in one fell swoop, my AI core will not be damaged."

"I see."

Li Si nodded slightly.

The intelligent core of magical intelligent life is its most important part and the basis for its existence.

Li Si's magical intelligent life form, the black cat Xiao Hei, is the same.

However, Xiao Hei's intelligent core has always been stored in Li Si's legendary ornament, the Wisdom of the Sphinx.

The magical technology connecting the Minos intelligent core to the entire floating city also piqued Li Si's interest.

Li Si rubbed his hands together and then reached out to touch the silver, multifaceted crystal in front of him.

In an instant, an immense amount of information flooded into Li Si's mind. Li Si's thoughts involuntarily paused for a moment as he sorted through the incoming information.

Li Si sat cross-legged in front of the silver crystal, slowly sorting through the information flooding into his mind, searching for the parts that were useful to him.

In an instant, the room returned to silence.

Southern part of the Fanor Continent
In that forest forgotten by time, stands a dark and ancient castle.

It is like a sleeping behemoth, quietly hidden behind dense forests, as if guarding an unknown secret.

In the deepest corner of the ancient castle, there is a pool of blood tightly surrounded by dark rocks.

Those rocks, like a group of silent guardians, exuded a cold and hard aura, isolating the blood pool from the outside world.

The blood in the pool was dazzlingly red, like a burning flame, yet it also carried a sense of peaceful tranquility.

Fresh blood slowly dripped from an unknown place high in the sky, each drop seemingly carrying some mysterious power.

Tick, tick.
The crisp sound echoed in the deathly quiet space, as if it were a call from another world, breaking the long-standing silence.

Surprisingly, the blood in the pool did not give off any sense of evil or chaos.

It was not as terrifying and filthy as the legends described; instead, it resembled a sacred and pure blood-red jade.

In the dim light, the blood shimmered with a soft luster, like a huge piece of red jade, exuding an alluring fragrance.

This fragrance is not as sweet as floral scents, but rather an aura with a mysterious power that makes people want to get closer.

Just then, a slender young woman with white hair and black eyes slowly walked over.

Her steps were light and graceful, each step as if she were walking on clouds.

The girl slowly walked into the pool of blood, her expression calm.

The moment her feet touched the blood, the blood pool seemed to be awakened, and began to surge and ripple.

The once calm blood now surged like a raging tide, rapidly enveloping the girl's body and gradually forming a slowly undulating blood cocoon.

The surface of the blood cocoon shimmered with a strange light, as if it were telling some ancient incantation.

It slowly absorbed the power of the surrounding blood, which flowed like a trickle into the blood cocoon.

As time went by, the light from the blood cocoon grew stronger and stronger, enveloping the entire space.

Inside the blood cocoon, the girl seemed to have entered a mysterious dream, and her body was undergoing wondrous changes.

Everything around them calmed down, as if witnessing the birth of a great legend.

Some mysterious place,
It was a dark altar that exuded a sinister aura.

The altar seemed to rise from the depths of hell, constructed from massive, irregular, dark boulders.

Each boulder exuded a chilling aura, its surface covered with eerie and twisted patterns, like some ancient and evil incantation.

At the center of the altar lay the corpse of a legendary red dragon.

This red dragon must have been a majestic and fearsome creature in its lifetime. Even in death, its massive body still exudes a terrifying aura that chills the heart.

Its ferocious eyes, which should have gleamed with a fierce light, were now empty and lifeless.

But upon closer inspection, it was filled with fear, as if the person had encountered something extremely terrible before dying.

Its once-hard scales, as hard as steel, have lost their luster and become dull and lifeless, each one seemingly telling a story of past glory and present desolation.

Its enormous wings drooped limply to its sides, their scales disheveled, some even falling off to reveal the bloody, mangled wounds beneath.

Before this terrifying altar, a figure slowly knelt down.

He wore a long black robe, which fluttered in the darkness, making a rustling sound, as if it were a call from the abyss.

He lowered his head deeply, clasped his hands together, and began to pray slowly.

His voice was deep and hoarse, echoing in the silent darkness, as if carrying some mysterious power.

As his prayers continued, a terrifying and ominous aura began to permeate the altar.

The odor, almost tangible, carried a pungent, putrid, and nauseating fishy smell, and quickly spread in all directions.

The surrounding air seemed to be frozen by this aura, becoming cold and heavy.

Under the influence of this terrifying aura, the red dragon's corpse began to undergo bizarre changes.

Its once solid body continued to collapse, and its flesh and blood disappeared rapidly as if being drawn away by an invisible force.

First its limbs withered, then its body, and finally even its head turned into a pile of ashes.

The pile of ashes shimmered with an eerie red light in the darkness, as if the red dragon's anger and resentment from its lifetime still lingered.

At the same time, a terrifying power descended upon the praying person's body.

This force, like a surging tide, instantly engulfed him.

His body began to grow and shrink uncontrollably, like an inflated balloon, sometimes expanding to the size of a giant, and sometimes shrinking to the size of a child.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

His skin was covered in cracks, from which blood seeped, staining his black robes crimson. He let out painful gasps, a sound like a wail from the depths of hell.

It's unclear how much time passed before the figure finally regained its composure.

He slowly stood up, his body still swaying slightly, but his eyes were full of ferocity.

His eyes seemed to burn with two flames, revealing endless madness and hatred. He raised his head and looked into the distance, as if plotting something.

"Li Si!!!!"
