The mage arrives

On a dark night, with a blue moon hanging high, Emmonis flew into the sky with a weak witch on his back, and tried his best to get closer to the blue moon.But just when Faleitan tried his best to collect and record the changes in the blue moon, a huge change happened suddenly.

The huge blue moon suddenly began to collapse, becoming smaller and smaller, and the blue light it emitted suddenly dimmed, and the entire Shangse Anzu became pitch black in an instant.

However, that's not all.

Because of the influence of the Blue Moon—that is, the Eternal Orb "Mifane Ottoton", this vast space is filled with many terrifying "time disorder zones".In this area, the passage of time can become extremely fast or extremely slow, producing various unpredictable effects.

The time disorder zone not only exists on the ground, but also exists in the sky.Faleitan, who had suffered in the time disorder area, would of course find out in advance which places in the sky he could not go to when he went to investigate the changes in the blue moon.

But on that night, because of the sudden change of the blue moon, the time disorder area in the entire Shangse'anzu area also changed drastically.Originally, the range of this kind of area has always been fixed, so as long as the investigation is clear in advance, it will not be mistaken to enter it, causing unpredictable consequences.

However, due to the change of the blue moon, those time disordered areas formed because of the blue moon also became unstable, and their range began to shrink or expand randomly, which caught Emmonis and Faleitan by surprise and panicked.

In the end, in the process of evading constantly, Emmonis accidentally strayed into the edge of a time disorder zone.Although it only stayed inside for more than a second, it also caused very serious consequences.

"Silver Moon Witch's body continues to age rapidly because of this. In the past, half of her body can be said to be an old man in his twilight years. But now, she has become a terminally ill and dying state." Emmony Rhys' tone was quite a bit have no choice.he said.He raised the tail of the dragon that was tucked behind him and showed it to Gordon.

The mage saw.The end of his tail seemed to be much shrunken and thinner than the front, and the scales were also lacklustre, dull, with faint markings.Even in some places, the scales have begun to fall off.

"I just swept my tail through a 'time disorder zone', and it became like this. You know, the bodies of our giant dragons are much stronger than humans, and their lifespans are also longer..."

That's why Gordon saw that Faleitan's condition was much worse today than when they parted last time.

However.The impact of the change of the blue moon on the white dragon and the witch is only a small part compared to the impact on the entire Shangse Anzu.

Because this land can be maintained largely because of the existence of the Eternal Orb.Therefore, when the energy of the eternal orb hanging high in the sky converged and collapsed, the illusory city on the earth disappeared, and those time-disordered areas that existed due to the power of the orb finally disappeared after undergoing drastic changes. up.The whole earth began to disintegrate because it lost the strength to gather together.In the end, it became a piece of land floating in all directions.

The most important thing is that the two Arkhosian legions that had fallen asleep due to the power of the Eternal Orb also woke up one after another.

After a brief period of confusion, the two sides organized again.The battle began.Now the army of the golden dragon Loloados and the army of the red dragon Titanis each occupy dozens of pieces of land and are in a confrontation.

However, not long ago, the red dragon Titanis wanted to prevent the iron hoof Balal from destroying the space barrier between Upper Se Anzu and the world below.Leading the army to fight the demon, the loss was quite large.The Golden Dragon Lolo Ados took the opportunity to launch an attack, and now temporarily has the upper hand.

For the grievances of these two legions.Gordon didn't have much thought either.As long as the red dragon Titanis doesn't wipe out the golden dragon side too quickly.According to the current situation, this development trend is obviously unlikely.

"Floating Void City..." Gordon was thinking about what he cared most about.

The Eternal Orb is too far away, too illusory, and the floating city left over from Nesser's era is the most practical and most accessible treasure.

But when Gordon raised his head, opened his eyes of truth and warning, and looked in a familiar direction, he didn't find any trace of the city.

There is only blue, a blue that stretches as far as the eye can see, and is completely invisible...

This is definitely not good news.Gordon knew that the disappearance of the floating city might also be related to the change of the blue moon.But at this moment, there was nothing he could do about it. The only thing he could do was to wait for Faretan and Triss to finish their work.

Triss' treatment of Faleitan lasted for three days and three nights.During this period of time, Gordon continued to study spells step by step, meditate, and explore new uses for the mysterious gemstones, and he also took some other actions.

He tried to find the legion of the golden dragon Lolo Ados, and make contact with those Bahamut believers ten thousand years ago.Who knew that the red dragon's legion was separated from the place where the witch's hut was, and the golden dragon Lolo Ados.Gordon knew that it was impossible for him to pass through the legion's garrison and see the golden dragon under the surveillance of countless dragon knights, dragonborn sentries, and real dragons.

Fortunately, Faleitan's treatment was finally completed in time, so that Gao Gao would not wait too long and have nothing to do.

When the Silver Moon Witch appeared in front of everyone again, she had completely restored her original vitality and beautiful appearance—well, no illusion was used.

"Congratulations, Ms. Faletan." Gordon nodded to her.

"Thanks for your help, Mr. Mage." The witch returned her sincere smile.

Although Faleitan's body has been cured, Triss has become very weak.During the treatment these days, it was equivalent to sending her life source energy to Faleitan, and the consumption involved was not insignificant.

But the red-haired witch has her witcher lover to take care of herself, so there is no need to worry.Gordon was more concerned about the floating city that suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that Gordon had something to say, Faleitan said, "Mage, I know what you're thinking. Come with me."

The two came to the second floor of the witch's cabin.Gordon hadn't been here before, just look at the surrounding decorations.This should be the warehouse where witches store all kinds of valuables.

Faleitan looked at Gordon, his eyes as bright as a full moon shone brightly.She smiled and said, "Mr. Freeman, you have fulfilled your duties. Then according to our previous agreement, it is time for me to fulfill my promise."

After her body regained its vitality, Faleitan seemed to be in a good mood, with a light smile of joy on her face all the time.She randomly found a chair and sat down, and said: "I'm afraid you have already discovered that the floating city in the sky seems to have disappeared."

Gordon nodded, but said nothing.Waiting for Faleitan to continue explaining.

The Silver Moon Witch said again: "Actually, the floating city has not disappeared, it is still in this space. It's just that the floating city has been blocked by an extremely powerful energy barrier, and the usual observation methods can no longer find it."

Can't the truth and the warning eye?

Gordon thought about it, and was relieved again.After all, the item of truth and warning eye is not a panacea.It's just a legendary item, and it's still in an incomplete state.This trip to the abyss, Gordon has another purpose.It is to enter the floating city, find the things left by the former grand arcanist and city lord, and completely perfect his truth and warning eyes.

Then, the Silver Moon Witch told Gordon again.The reason for all these changes is because the Eternal Orb suddenly started to converge its energy.Those visions of the past, the slumber of dragonborn warriors.There is also the existence of the time disorder zone, all because of the unrestrained release of the energy of the Eternal Orb.the impact caused.

But because of a certain opportunity, the eternal orb hanging high above the sky.It seems to be "awakened" suddenly, and all the energy that was originally released began to be recovered, so all the influences it had on the outside world disappeared one by one.Moreover, this Eternal Orb seems to have an indestructible energy barrier around it in order to protect itself.Unfortunately, the floating city in the sky happened to be within the range of the energy barrier.

At this time, the night was gradually falling, and there were voices of discussion from downstairs.

"What's going on, you'll find out when you go and have a look." Faleitan pointed to the door leading to the balcony and said to Gordon.

The mage walked over, opened the door, and walked to the balcony on the second floor, a blue light suddenly entered his eyes.

He originally thought that after the Eternal Orb restrained its own energy, the blue moon would disappear, and the night of Shang Se'anzu would become completely dark and lightless.But it now appears that Gordon was wrong.The dark blue light that illuminated the entire night, not only did not disappear, but became brighter and brighter.

But the source of this blue light is not the blue moon that was originally suspended in the sky but has disappeared now, but an incredibly huge olive-shaped light cluster.

While Gordon was concentrating on observing the night sky, Faleitan walked up to him at some point: "Did you see, Mage, the big guy hanging above our heads is the energy barrier formed by the Eternal Orb.

"It's really strange. The space of Shangse Anzu has maintained the status quo for tens of thousands of years without any changes. Why did the energy of the Eternal Orb suddenly shrink?"

Faleitan glanced at Gordon, with a half-smile: "Mr. Mage, you have to ask yourself this question."

"I?"

"It was because of your appearance that the balance was broken, which led to the change of that eternal orb."

What the witch said made Gordon feel a little inexplicable, but he still listened to the other party's careful explanation.

Today, the two worlds of Upper Se Anzu and Lower Se Anzu coexist and escape into a different space. The reason why the two dragon-born legions have been sleeping for thousands of years is that when the red dragon Titanis used the Eternal Orb, it was accidentally triggered. Orb energy runaway.

It's just that this is only one of the main reasons. Among the many causes of all this, there is another one that is the existence of mysterious gems.It is precisely because of the freezing power of the mysterious gem "Grey Frost" that it stabilized everything, keeping everything in a relatively static state for a very long time.

However, Gordon has already taken away the mysterious gem that is integrated with Emerith in the Tower of Eternity. This static balance has been broken, so unpredictable changes will naturally occur.

Although this is just Faleitan's own inference, since this witch has stayed in Shangse'anzu for so long and has done quite in-depth research on this space, her words are probably credible.

"Well, let's put it this way. I also became that little butterfly who flapped its wings once and changed history..." Gordon shrugged.

Now that I have understood the whole story, the next step is of course to continue to go straight to my goal.

"Since the situation has become like this now, is it still possible for us to reach that floating city?"

"Of course it's possible. And it's simpler than before." Faleitan said confidently, "Without those weird and deadly time disorder zones. Our troubles will be much less. That layer of energy barrier is indeed indestructible, but it's not There is no way to stop us."

"Ms. Faletan, your confidence seems to be sufficient."

"Of course, I feel like I have been reborn now, and my whole body seems to be full of vitality."

Well, if a dying old man suddenly reverts to his youth and regains his youth, it is only natural to have a sense of self-confidence that "I am already invincible".But Gordon hoped that Faleitan's confidence was not blind.

"Don't worry, Mage. Although we witches are not as rational and objective as you are, we are not crazy women who talk nonsense." Faleitan smiled, and took out a rather old wooden box from the large cabinet next to her.

When Gordon saw the witch open the cabinet, he untied more than a dozen magic seals in one go.The things stored in such a well-protected cabinet must be unusual.

Gordon originally thought that some ancient and mysterious artifact treasure would be kept in the elegant wooden box, but as soon as he opened it, a white ball popped out of it.

After a closer look, Gordon discovered that it was a chubby fine creature.Its limbs are stubby and its neck is barely visible.It's like a round head that is almost the same size as the body, just connected to the same round body.

Most fey creatures will choose an appearance that is more eye-catching and meets aesthetic standards during the evolution process.For example, the ice fairies headed by Ania, almost all of them are cute little beauties.But Gordon saw the creature popping out of the wooden box.But not pretty at all.

"What's this little thing?" asked Gordon.

"Little thing? Hey, big man, how do you know my name?"

…………

Gordon was speechless.I didn't expect him to say a nickname casually.It's really the guy's name.

"It is the key for us to enter the floating city." Faleitan said.

The Silver Moon Witch had also boarded the Floating City before.The witch cabin where Gordon and his party are now and the floating island that houses the cabin, it was the witch Faleitan who took all kinds of materials from the floating city.made.And that strange fine creature is the last harvest of Faleitan's exploration of the floating city.

Because during another exploration after she got this chubby little guy.Unfortunately, he was involved in the time disorder zone.

"Key?" Gordon looked carefully at the little guy named "Little Guy".

"Or according to the Nesser, it is the 'Yerisifado' of the floating city."

The pronunciation of this Neisser term is somewhat convoluted and awkward, as it is a coined arcane term with multiple meanings.If it is translated in an earth language that Gordon can easily understand, it is artificial intelligence.

In the era of the Netherdulan Magic Empire, every mage who was promoted to the legendary realm and won the title of Grand Arcanist could have a floating city of his own.That is the home of the Grand Arcanist, and it is also the independent kingdom of the Grand Arcanist, the unbreakable fortress of the Grand Arcanist, and the ultimate place for the Grand Arcanist to conduct magic research.

Such an important, huge, and multi-functional place is naturally very difficult to manage.

In the early days of the magic empire, great arcanists usually let their right-hand assistants, the most outstanding students, or family members, or even slaves or magic pets to assist in the management of the floating city.

It's just that the great arcanists later discovered that there are many disadvantages in doing so.When they choose the managers of the floating city, it is difficult to strike a balance between ability and loyalty.For a place as important as the life of a great arcanist, the floating city is naturally impossible to be managed by people who don't trust it.But people who can be completely trusted may not necessarily be able to manage such a complex and huge thing.

Arcanists themselves are often burdened with many things, and it is difficult to spend too much energy to operate the Floating Void City in every detail.

Later, Anthony Theora, the second emperor of the Netherdulan Magic Empire, known as the "Soul Demon Hand", collaborated with two other great Arcanist lords who were equally great, and invented a magic weapon called "City Enchantment". "The legendary spell.

Since the floating city is so difficult to manage, why not let the city manage itself, wouldn't the problem be solved?

It was such a sudden, seemingly naive idea that led to the birth of "City Enlightenment", the most widely used legendary spell in the Magic Empire.

As the name suggests, this spell can endow a floating city with soul and intelligence, allowing it to have its own life.

Of course, this is not a life form in the usual sense, but to allow the Floating Void City to have a control center like an artificial intelligence to assist the Archmage to manage the entire city.

"Hyteras Osht's taste is really special..." Gordon remembered the name of the owner of the floating city that the God of Knowledge had told him.

"Hey, big man, I didn't expect you to be very sensible. My master Hytras, the seeker and guardian of the mysteries, Osht, indeed has the most outstanding, elegant, and unique taste in the entire empire." The chubby fine creature said bouncingly.

It seems that the artificial intelligence of this Floating Void City can't help but be wonderful, and it is very good at flattering. (To be continued..)
