Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 481 Arrival at the Floating City

Lu Chen and V looked up at the city floating in the sky. In some ways, this city was much worse than Night City.

Although V knew the goddess who had come before was Chris, he didn't know Aqua very well. So, he just listened in on Lu Chen introducing the Axis Cult to the Platinum Dragon King. That's why he didn't actively disrupt the show.

Now after seeing the floating city, he is also very surprised. As a person who has seen many things in the future city, V is also surprised by the existence of the floating city.

"Fuck, they actually floated the entire city in the air."

While there are vehicles capable of floating freely in the cyber world, this is like having entire cities floating in the air. Perhaps cyber technology could support this, but the energy consumption would make it unnecessary for every major company. Wouldn't it be better to use this capability for other purposes?

Lu Chen looked at the city thoughtfully. He had been to the island where the Golden Lion floated in the air before. So he was no stranger to cities completely floating in the air. Moreover, the Floating Fruit was in his hands.

So Lu Chen made a technical analysis and said, "A city of this size should be built using world props as a foundation, right?"

The Platinum Dragon King explained, "No one knows how this city was built. From the very beginning, the Eight Desire Kings have owned this floating metropolis. It is truly a magnificent royal capital."

Although the Eight Desire Kings killed a large number of dragons at level seventy or eighty, after the Eight Desire Kings themselves died, the remaining dragons did not bear any grudge against the country established by the Eight Desire Kings.

After all, the dragons that held a grudge against them were almost all dead, so no resentment would remain. The remaining dragons had no desire to avenge them. Dragons were not very sentimental.

V was only interested in the levitation itself, not the grandeur. It's hard to say which is more impressive, the magical medieval city or Night City.

Then V asked the next question: "It's really cool to be able to float, but how do we get up there?"

The Platinum Dragon King was puzzled by this question. Isn't flying a necessary ability for such a strong person?

So he asked uncertainly, "Shall we fly up?"

According to V's logic, since the Platinum Dragon King teleported himself to the bottom of the city, shouldn't he teleport directly into the city?
"Can't you just teleport us up there?"

"I can't do that. This city is protected by magic, so I can only teleport you to this location."

The reason why the Platinum Dragon King did not teleport directly into the city was because this city was an extension of the Eight Desire Kings' guild, just like people from other guilds had no way to teleport directly into the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

The guild itself discouraged others from going there directly, and no one knew why. This guild had no level 100 NPCs left, or perhaps these guardians had died over time.

Perhaps this guild's composition was primarily human and elf, and the Elf King was a descendant of one of the Eight Desire Kings. So, from this point of view, it's quite possible. It's also quite possible that those NPCs who survived the internecine conflicts also perished in the long history.

This should be the main reason why the Platinum Dragon King was able to take away the equipment of the Eight Desire Kings. All the strong ones have passed away, and the remaining people naturally lack the ability to protect their own treasures.

Of course, V also has the ability to stay in the air, and he asked this question just out of curiosity.

"Then how did the others get to this city? Were they all born there?"

The Platinum Dragon King hadn't noticed how most people reached the floating city. He could fly anyway. Whenever he arrived, he simply flew up. As for ordinary people, the Dragon King didn't really know much about them. Lu Chen saw a pet nearby, a creature that looked like a large bird.

So I guessed, "There are flying mounts to take them up there. Look, that cage over there is a means of transportation."

V really wanted to experience the feeling of flying up in a local specialty: "Let's fly up in that thing?"

The Platinum Dragon King felt that those obviously weak birds wouldn't be able to lift V. "You're too big for those weak animals to lift, right? I can carry you up."

He was in a hurry to complete the goddess's mission and had no intention of experiencing the local customs and culture.

V tapped his heavy armor and replied regretfully, "If that's the case, then let's go up."

Lu Chen could have made V smaller and let him ride those birds, but Lu Chen felt that riding a bird or a dragon was more exciting. Although this was just armor controlled by the Platinum Dragon King, it was no different from riding him and flying up.

From now on, V can call himself a dragon knight, since he should have the class of a paladin anyway.

The Platinum Dragon King grabbed V and flew into the air, and Lu Chen also jumped up in the air.

The three of them floated up from the ground and flew towards the city in the sky.

The people living in the oasis below had rarely seen powerful individuals who could fly. Most of the powerful individuals in this world lived in seclusion, and there was a lack of mid-level power.

Standing at the entrance of the city, the Platinum Dragon King told Lu Chen about his plan. He wanted to highlight his own achievements in the goddess' mission.

"I know the royal family of this country, and I'll have a chance to confront the Nameless Spellbook directly. This world item will actively choose its owner, so it can stay here quietly. Otherwise, a world item with that kind of power would have been taken away by a powerful person long ago."

The Platinum Dragon King had previously attempted to obtain the Unnamed Mantra, but unfortunately, he lacked the qualifications to possess it. Therefore, he used the excuse of protecting the Eight Desire Kings' equipment to take away their remaining equipment, leaving only this world item here.

The Platinum Dragon King then thanked Lu Chen and continued, "I believe that as the Goddess' chosen one, you must be qualified to hold the Unnamed Spellbook."

He now has a kind of sweet trust in the goddess.

Lu Chen also believed that he should be able to use the Unnamed Spellbook. He was still thinking about whether he should wait for Chris to delete those spells and then ask for the magic book over. She should give the Unnamed Spellbook to him.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen asked, "Do we need to take out something in exchange?"

Since the people here are familiar with the Platinum Dragon King, it would be a bad idea to just steal or rob them.

The Platinum Dragon King immediately took charge, "Don't worry about that. I will actively persuade them to hand over what you need for the Goddess's great cause."
