Chapter 781 The Secret of the Minos Floating City

Minos, the floating city, with its circular tower.
"How can it be?!"

Li Si looked at the multifaceted silver crystal in front of him, searching through the extraordinary knowledge he had previously acquired.

But no matter how many times he looked through it, he couldn't find the information about the Minos floating city he was looking for.
Of course, the information about the Minos floating city is quite comprehensive, including the functions of the facilities in each part and the related construction technologies.

However, Li Si did not find any information about the special features of Minos City.

According to the intelligence he had just received, the two floating cities of the Pan-Continental Mage Association are indeed like Kane's floating city, each with its own unique features.

For example, the floating city of Nibel is unique in that the entire floating city is equivalent to a giant illusionary maze.

The Enchanted Lock is an extremely special, super-large magical barrier or restriction, and can be considered the most advanced magical knowledge and ability.

Previously, Li Si had experienced the illusion of being trapped.

In the Elf Kingdom's royal court, the city of Zhuonuo, there is a protective maze barrier set up by the ancient elves.

However, this illusionary barrier was exploited by the demon prince Demogorgon. After altering the illusionary barrier of the Elven Kingdom, he used it to seal off the entire Elven Kingdom.

The memories of the elves living within it have been altered by the Enchanted Barrier.

He was clearly dead, but he was completely unaware of it and continued to live as before.

Demogorgon also used this method to prevent other forces in the Elven Kingdom from noticing the unusual situation in the Elven Royal Court.

Even the elven gods were deceived by this demon prince.

Of course, Demogorgon must have had other arrangements in place, but it is undeniable that the power of the Enchanted Barrier is indeed quite formidable.

The floating city of Nibel is such a special existence.

When the Netheril Magic Empire built this floating city, it specifically set up an extremely powerful illusion barrier within it, and used this as the foundation to establish the [Maze-Neber Floating City].

According to the information Li Si received, the illusion lock of the floating city of Nibel is normally open, but its range is limited to the floating city itself.

When the Mystery Lock is active, almost no one can find the location of the floating city of Nibel.

The only way to reach Nibelf Sky City is through the teleportation array set up by the Second Speaker, Stephens.

In addition to concealing its tracks, [The Enchanted City of Nibel] can create even more powerful illusions, even establishing an illusion that can affect an entire human kingdom.

As long as one's will does not exceed the limits that the illusion can withstand, one cannot escape the influence of the illusion.

At the same time, the floating city of Nibel also preserves all the research results of the Netheril Magic Empire in the field of bewitching spells.

Now, Li Si has obtained both detailed information about the Nibel Floating City's Enchanted Lock and the types of bewitching spells preserved in the Nibel Floating City.

However, when Li Si inspected the floating city of Minos, he discovered something amiss.

According to the records of the magical intelligent life form Minos, the Minos Floating City is nothing special!

No, that's not entirely true.

To be honest, there is a little bit.

The Minos floating city itself is essentially an extremely abundant magical energy storage device, capable of drawing vast amounts of magical energy from various planes and storing it.

This magic can be used in a variety of different ways.

However, this so-called special feature is far too ordinary.

If it were just nearly endless magic power, it wouldn't really be of much use to Li Si.

Because Kane's floating city is connected to the four elemental planes, the magical power it can absorb and store is more than enough for its own use.

This is quite different from what Li Si had previously guessed.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Minos floating city has no other functions.

Like the other two floating cities, the Minos Floating City also possesses other facilities such as magic workshops and a grand library.
But apart from that, there's nothing special about it.

When Li Si first arrived at the floating city of Minos, he felt that the floating city seemed to give him a special feeling.

This feeling is quite vague and elusive.

Li Si couldn't describe the feeling either, but he was involuntarily drawn to it.

When he saw the circular tower at the heart of the Minos floating city, this special feeling became even stronger.

Putting aside whether it's reasonable to say that the Minos floating city is just a large magic storage device, the special feeling that Li Si experienced is inexplicable.

At the same time, Minos's voice rang out again throughout the room.

"Congressman Li Si, I don't know what you mean by 'the special features of the Minos Floating City'?"

"Based on the 1,826,451 abnormal records related to the floating city that we reviewed, there are no records that match your description."

"Furthermore, according to the historical records of the Minos Floating City, when the Minos Floating City was built during the Netheril Magic Empire, its design purpose was to provide backup magical support for other floating cities in the empire."

"Other floating cities built around the same time and for the same purpose as the Minos floating city include the Helmod floating city and the Bennet floating city."

"For this reason, the Empire designed a special Mysera Core specifically for the Minos floating city."

"To avoid other factors affecting the stability of the Minos Floating City's magic storage device, no other special modules were added."

"The complete construction blueprints for the Minos Floating City are still stored in the intelligent memory module. You, Councilor Li Si, are qualified to view them."

Upon hearing Minos's reply, Li Si frowned slightly.

This statement is reasonable.
After all, the Netheril Magic Empire has built quite a few floating cities, but there are probably not many floating cities like the Cain Floating City that have a special magical supply.

Building the Minos floating city as a precaution is indeed necessary.

However, this cannot explain the peculiar feeling that Li Si had sensed earlier.

"Minos, does the Minos floating city still have records that I don't have permission to access?"

Li Si looked at the silver crystal in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and then asked.

The reasons given earlier were not enough to convince Li Si.

He has always had a peculiar premonition about many things.

It was like a strange guide that helped Li Si achieve many breakthroughs.

This feeling was just like the intuition Li Si had when he was researching arcane arts.

Upon arriving at the floating city of Minos, Li Si had the same premonition.

The floating city of Minos must be hiding an extremely important secret!
The magical intelligent life form Minos did not reply directly; the silver multifaceted crystal in front of Li Si continued to shimmer.

After a moment, Minos said calmly:
"Associate Delegate Li Si, as per your request, we have conducted a full access search of the memory module and found nothing as you described."

"The permissions you currently possess have been temporarily granted to you by Second Speaker Tarindra."

"Your authority is equivalent to Speaker Tarindra's; you have the right to access all information about the Pan-Continental Mage Association." Li Si remained silent for a moment, not asking any further questions.

The authority granted to him by Speaker Tarindra had already been communicated to him by Minos when he came over earlier.

This should also be the authority granted to him by Speaker Tarendra.

It's important to know that the chairman of the Pan-Continental Mage Association has extremely important authority.

Not only can you find all sorts of important information, but many things also come at a very low cost.

For example, the Pan-Continental Mage Association's Complete Guide to Spells that Li Si just exchanged for had a very small cost.

Li Si originally thought he would need to use the exclusive extraordinary knowledge of Kane's floating city to exchange for it, but in the end he didn't need to use it.

Li Si felt that if even the Third Speaker, Tarindra, couldn't find the information, then if there was a more crucial secret, it could only be the extremely mysterious First Speaker, Osiris.

If that's the case, then the special features of the Minos floating city are truly extraordinary.

After a moment of silence, Li Si shook his head, temporarily setting aside his idea of ​​continuing to explore the unique features of the Minos floating city.

Matters concerning First Speaker Osiris are not something he can touch upon at this time.

Regardless of whether the First Speaker is truly the Time Dragon, his identity and strength must be extraordinary to have established such a powerful force as the Pan-Continental Mage Association, which can rival the Church of Gods.

Let's take care of the things at hand first!

However, Li Si still kept this matter in mind.

Li Si left the circular tower and was about to stroll around the floating city of Minos.

Since we've come all the way to the Minos floating city, we might as well take a look around.

Later, let's go to the floating city of Nibel again.

If his previous intuition was correct, and if there was no similar situation in the floating city of Nibel, then Li Si felt much more at ease.

Just then, a figure appeared in front of Li Si.

"Lord Li Si!"

A bold voice suddenly rang out.

Li Si turned his head and saw a person who was completely different from everyone else in the floating city.

This was a burly middle-aged man whose short, fiery hair gleamed with a reddish-gold luster in the sunlight, as if it might leap into the air and transform into real flames at any moment.

A white robe draped over his shoulders, embroidered with winding fire patterns in gold thread. As he breathed, the patterns seemed to move across the robe, like talismans ignited by an invisible fire.

He crossed his arms over his chest, revealing bulging, iron-like muscles in his forearms that stretched the loose sleeves of his robe into a sharply defined silhouette.

When your gaze falls on his half-open collar, you can see his perfectly sculpted physique.

Beneath his bronze skin, veins flowed like lava; his pectoral muscles bulged as if carved by a knife and axe; and his abdominal muscles were clearly defined like marble sculptures. Every muscle contained explosive power.

What's most startling is his bare arms, which are so thick they're almost exaggerated. His biceps bulge like small hills, and his forearm muscles are knotted like vines. His arm circumference is even two sizes thicker than the thighs of an average strong man.

The monk, who should have been holding a staff and chanting incantations, now resembled a moving steel fortress.

He stood there, radiating a chilling aura of oppression, as if destructive flames would erupt from his palms at any moment.

The fire mage exuded a fighting aura even more intense than that of the fiercest berserker, making the air scorching hot because of his presence.

Li Si knew the person in front of him.

In fact, this person was one of the few he paid attention to in the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

[The Flame of Annihilation] Borkan!

The current leader of the Tower of Ashes, one of the three top schools of thought!

It can only be said that Borkan's appearance is too unique, and at the same time, this leader of the [Tower of Burning Ashes] is also quite well-known in the association.

Many people dispersed and left the area as soon as they saw Borkan appear there.

Everyone knows that this congressman has a rather bad temper.

Moreover, although this councilor possesses formidable magical abilities, he has a particular fondness for beating people up.

The kind where you punch someone!
Heaven help it, how could those mages from the Pan-Continental Mage Association possibly compete with the strength of this big muscle man, Borkan!

If they tried to use magic to fight back, they would be no match for Borkan.

Borkan could easily break through any spell.

There are even rumors that a member of parliament was beaten up by Borkan.

"Your Excellency Borkan, what brings you here?"

Li Si looked at the unusual Councilor Borkan with a strange gaze.

Whether it was information he obtained from Aurelion or intelligence from other sources, it made Li Si very interested in this "Flame of Annihilation" Borkan.

In Aurelion's view, [Flame of Annihilation] Borkan and [Tower of Ember] seem to be natural allies of Li Si.

Even if Li Si wanted to establish a completely new school of thought, rather than joining any existing one.

Li Si was naturally puzzled and asked Aurelion why he thought that way.

Aurelion chuckled and said:

"Because this Lord Borkan is a staunch 'follower' of Second Speaker Stephens!"

Aurelion then explained it to Li Si.

It turns out that before breaking through to the Legendary level, this [Flame of Annihilation] Borkan greatly admired the Second Speaker Stephens.

Of course, fire magic is what Borkan is best at and what he likes best.

While Stephens, the "Flame of Judgment," is most skilled in spatial magic, his mastery of fire magic is also the strongest in the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

Therefore, Bolkan had always admired Stephens.

Moreover, for a period of time, Second Speaker Stephens spent some time at the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

At that time, Borkan received guidance from the Second Speaker, Stephens.

Although Stephens did not ultimately accept Bolkan as his disciple, Bolkan always considered himself a disciple from that time onward.

Even after Borkan broke through to the legendary level and became the leader of the Tower of Ashes, he still greatly respected Stephens in many matters.

Even later, when he probably didn't see the Second Speaker Stephens more than a few times, his behavior remained unchanged.

As Stephens' disciple, everyone understood that Bolkan's attitude towards Li Si was definitely not ordinary.

　The revisions are complete. Apologies to everyone.
