The mage arrives

Floating city...

How attractive this vocabulary is to a mage, it is simply impossible to describe in words.A floating city is a secret base exclusively for mages.He can carry out arcane research in the city with peace of mind, conduct all conceivable magical experiments, and try any crazy creation ideas through the alchemy laboratory...

A mage can form an army in the floating city that is only loyal to himself—composed of construct creatures, various elemental creatures, and even an army of undead or plant legions, and wipe out all enemies who dare to invade.A mage can build a floating city according to his own wishes.Whether it is to turn it into a small bridge and flowing water, a sky garden of pavilions, or use magic crystal cannons and defense towers to arm it into a flying fortress, you can do whatever you want.

Dawn once told Gordon before that his biggest dream is to build a floating city, and then turn it into a luxurious and comfortable palace, live in it with many beautiful sisters, go wherever he wants, and live a comfortable life life.

Well, apart from having some disagreements with Don on the point of "beautiful sister", in other respects, he agrees with the idea of ​​a bad friend.After all, he is a philanthropic man, as long as he is a cute girl, he will not refuse, so he will not be obsessed with the specific attribute of "Yujie" like Donne.

In the era of the Netherdulan Magic Empire, floating cities were not too rare.Because they have mastered the technology of making mysterious energy cores, almost every grand arcanist has his own floating city.Even the Magic Empire once promulgated a decree called "Natural Environment and Mountain Range Protection Measures", prohibiting the great arcanists from cutting mountains at will and creating floating cities within the empire.

Because if those crazy great arcanists are not stopped, it won't be long before there will be no more sharp mountains in the empire.

But now in the Fourth Era.The floating city has become a very rare thing.During the catastrophe caused by the huge energy tide, 90.00% of the floating cities in the Magic Empire fell and were destroyed.Even No.1 among the great arcanists. , and failed to keep his own floating city.Maybe only a few when the source tide is happening.Only grand arcanists who drive the floating city far away from the northern continent, or even conduct travel or arcane research in other planes, can survive.

But there are really too few such people, and in this day and age, even if there is a surviving Grand Arcanist and his floating city, I'm afraid they are far away from the world and will not show up easily.As far as Gordon knows, if you exclude low-level copycats like the flying fortress created by the Sansheng Baptist Church during the orc war.There are only two floating cities that were actually created during the Fourth Era.

One, it belongs to the Austrian Law Federation.The other one, in the Southern Continent, is owned by the great warlock family Ben Latu.

After all, in today's era, it is very difficult to find an intact secret energy core.The mysterious energy cores that Gordon obtained successively were defective products with insufficient arcane energy output or damage.It cannot be used as the power core of the floating city.So if Gordon wants to realize his dream of owning a floating city of his own, he must not only reach the legendary realm, but also find a large and intact mysterious energy core.It is an extremely difficult thing.

If you can really get a ready-made floating city, it will definitely be a once-in-a-century event.

Seeing that Gordon was very interested, Ioun continued to tell him about the origin of the floating city: "The owner of the floating city is also the creator of the truth and the eye of warning..."

Osht means "explorer and guardian of ancient mysteries" in Neisserian.The history of this family is said to date back to the early First Era, and even has ties to the Old Ones.The reliable information related to the Creation God War recorded in the main material world today is almost all recorded by people from the Osht family.

However, the things about the Osht family are just dispensable bean knowledge. What Gordon really cares about is the information about the floating city.

"I've told you before. Hytras is a great arcanist who studies the School of Prophecy, or else. He is not capable of making props such as the Eye of Truth and Warning. In the Netherdulan Magic Empire On the eve of the destruction, he foresaw the great catastrophe. This great arcanist once issued a warning to the imperial people. But not many people believed it. So he simply drove his own floating city and left."

Hytras first went all the way north, across the barren tundra, and reached the northernmost tip of the northern continent - the highest glacier.There, the great arcanist opened a crack in time and space with the huge energy driven by the mysterious energy core, and manipulated his floating city to leave the main material world.

Maybe it's to avoid disaster, maybe it's to do some complicated arcane research, maybe it's just to find a quiet and comfortable plane to live in seclusion.No one knows why Hytras expended so much effort to drive the entire floating city away from the main material world—it is definitely an extraordinary and huge project to transfer such a massive object through space.

Afterwards, the whereabouts of Hytras himself are obviously insignificant compared with the collapse of the entire magical empire.Not many people cared about where this great arcanist was, what he was doing, whether he was dead or alive.Until about ten years ago, when the God of Knowledge was traveling between planes, he discovered the floating city of Hytras in the vast sea of ​​stars.

The astral world is the passage that must pass through from the main material world to the upper world, which is commonly known as the heavenly kingdom.This is an endless land composed of colorful and crystal-clear free energy sources. Looking around, it looks like an ocean composed of countless shining stars.This is also the origin of its name.

Out of natural curiosity as the God of Knowledge, Ioun decided to go to the Floating Void City to investigate.At that time, the floating city of Hytras was already empty, but all the defensive measures were still intact, and it seemed that it was heading towards a certain destination on the predetermined route.

Ioun searched the floating city briefly and found the Eye of Truth and Warning.But when he was about to explore further, something happened and he had to leave.So Ioen left a positioning item in the floating city, and then left.

"Put this thing away carefully." Ioan took out a leaf that exuded silver light and handed it to Gordon.Inject a little magic, and the runic imprint of the Holy Trinity will emerge on the blade.

Gordon knew that the leaf belonged to a plant called a weir tree.Weir trees are very rare in the main material world, and only grow in deep mountain forests. Near Freyton, this kind of tree can only be found in deep green forests.As long as the weir tree is not disturbed by the outside world, it can easily grow into a towering giant tree. Its wood cannot be ignited by non-magical flames. It is elastic and durable, and the musical instruments produced have a gentle and clear sound.Many bards choose weir trees for their flutes or mandolins.

For mages, weir trees serve another purpose.Weir leaves growing on the same branch have a mutual pointing property.Based on this feature, mages can easily use weir leaves to make low-cost and powerful pointing and positioning props.

Gordon spread his palms flat, holding up the silvery weir leaves.After a while, the leaves began to rotate automatically, and finally stopped and pointed in one direction.

"You follow its direction, and you will definitely be able to find the floating city in the end. You know, the pointing blade I made can cross the space barrier. When the floating city is on the same plane as you and within a range of [-] kilometers When it is within the time, the rune imprint on the leaves will bloom with golden light, and you will know when the time comes.

"Since you gave me this leaf after I came to the abyss, and told me about the floating city. Can I think so, that floating city is now in the abyss?"

Ioun smiled and said: "You are very smart, young man. But your guess is not completely accurate. Since the floating city of Hytras disappeared in the star world, it took ten years to reappear. But it is not Not in the abyss, but in a new sub-plane that suddenly appeared between certain levels of the abyss."

The Abyss is the manifestation of the chaotic power of the entire multiverse, and it is not surprising that any accidents and accidents occur.Between the layers of the abyss, even if there is any space turbulence, time storm, or a new unknown land suddenly appearing, it is normal.

"If I have the chance, I will definitely go to that floating city to find out." Gordon put away the weir leaves.

Ioun told Gordon that he has a chance to get a floating city, and can further improve the truth and warning eyes.This kind of good thing sounds like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey-it looks delicious and drives the donkey to keep going, but it will never get it.Although he was very interested, he also kept an eye on it.

The old man who had been teasing the three canaries before came over.

"The name of all things, I can read a trace of reservation and distrust from this young man. It seems that you were too vague to him before, which made people suspicious." Bahamut said.

"I can't help it. This young man is too smart, too cautious, and too sensitive. It's not easy to deal with him. I also hope that I can deceive a young man who can charge forward with a few words. But such a person, often The ability is too weak to meet our requirements." Ioen said helplessly, "Great Platinum Dragon, I have finished explaining my affairs, please go ahead."

Lord Dragon God, who commands all the giant metal dragons and is revered by the humans of an empire, has no airs at this time, and is as kind as an old man next door.He nodded to Gordon and asked, "How is it, is the Platinum Seal useful?" (To be continued)
