Players’ NPC daddy.

If you think in terms of the [routines] left by the strangers, you can guess the reasons why High Priestess Megana was embarrassed and refused.

"It's probably because the ore is related to the [Doomsday Number]."

"How terrible." High Priest Megana said suddenly. After she finished speaking, she immediately covered her mouth and apologized to Blaze awkwardly.

"Sorry, that's not what I meant, it's just..."

Blaze also shook his head and understood what High Priestess Megana said because this was a normal situation.

Strangers have a vast amount of experience and knowledge, which they have summarized into an all-knowing knowledge called "Routine".

Most situations in this world will be covered by the [routines] of strangers. Sometimes, when troubled people are halfway through talking about their problems, strangers can already rely on [routines] to tell the second half of the content, or even hidden content that the parties are unaware of, and the conspiracy behind the scenes.

Most people would subconsciously comment "How scary" when it comes to this ability of a stranger.

"I don't care about that. If you can, please tell me about that ore."

Blaze paused. He originally wanted to say, "Tell me how to get the ore." After all, High Priestess Megana only said that it was difficult to agree, rather than a firm rejection. This meant there was a chance.

Of course, according to the [routine] of the strangers, even if it is a tough rejection, there is still a chance.

He still remembered that when Greenland was teaching him the secret, he proudly said, "As long as you work hard with the hoe, there will be no corner that cannot be dug out. No matter how loyal a wife is, she will be in front of me..."

"No, that shouldn't be the sentence." Blaze slapped his face and rubbed it hard.

If he remembered correctly, Greenland's words quickly attracted the counterfeiter to come over and ask for advice, and then when Greenland was excitedly gesticulating, he attracted the Ripper and the Ogre.

Later, the ogre gave Greenland and the forger a lecture and criticism. For some reason, the usually lawless Greenland became extremely honest at that time.

Is it because I sat on the chair called the "Confession Chair"?

It's so amazing. The chair obviously doesn't have any special functions. Greenland was so arrogant before sitting on it, but he became listless after sitting on it. Was he attacking the foreigner?

"Cough cough." Seeing that Blaze was a little absent-minded, High Priest Megana immediately coughed twice.

"Oh, sorry." Blaze lowered his head in embarrassment. This was the result of abusing the power called [Routine]. He already knew the result, so he would become lax about the process and some human relationships.

As expected, no matter how omniscient and omnipotent one is, it is full of various hidden dangers.

Chapter 1607 Lift

All people have been curious about why the floating island can float in the sky. It is not just about making a small stone fly for a few minutes, but making an island-level area fly at the height of the sea of ​​clouds for hundreds of years or even higher.

The great wizards who studied magic scratched their heads but still couldn't understand what magic was.

The secret of how the floating island floats was revealed after it was opened. The secret is very simple. There is a special mineral inside it. This mineral generates a powerful lift, allowing the floating island to fly.

So why can this ore generate lift? The great wizards couldn't even keep the hair on the back of their heads, and became bald.

This is, of course, an exaggeration.

There are two ways to do magic, one is to understand the principles and reproduce them, the other is to ignore the principles and show the results.

Normal people who master magic professions are all the former. They need to spend a lot of time studying and understanding. The short human lifespan of only a hundred years is used in this. Therefore, there are many cases where people who study magic go crazy and no longer behave like human beings.

Therefore, for the former magicians, they must figure out why the minerals in the floating island can generate lift.

Strangers are typical of the latter. They don't need to know the principles, they just need to be able to do it.

However, there is no difference in status between the two. The former can create magic after understanding the principles and is a pioneer, while the latter can use magic at will, no matter how ancient or innovative it is.

Back to the topic, the mineral veins under the floating island are the reason why the floating island can float for hundreds of years, and it is also the ore that can replace the [Ika Black Stone].

The reason why High Priestess Megana refused is obvious. The culture of the sky giants revolves around the [Doomsday Number], and the [Doomsday Number] is the bearing capacity of the floating island, and this bearing capacity is related to the mineral veins.

The more minerals are taken away, the lower the [Doomsday Number] will be, and the [Doomsday Number] is related to the survival of the floating island.

Blaze was surprised that the high priestess Megana did not immediately change her expression and firmly refuse. When he heard from Kullene that the alternative ore was produced from the floating island, he had already begun to imagine the obstacles he would face in obtaining the ore.

Sadly, the plot development was a bit bland.

Blaze guessed that there were two reasons. One was that he was the representative of [Hermes' Traveling Hat]. [Hermes' Traveling Hat] helped the sky giants a lot, and the greatest favor was to regulate the relationship between the sky giants and the foreigners.

After all, strangers can sometimes be really naughty kids, and if there's no one to guide them, they'll quickly mess things up.

Take the mineral veins in the floating island for example. If the [Hermes's Traveling Hat] had not issued an express ban on mining and restricted the number of people who could land, the floating island would probably have fallen from the sky the day after strangers discovered the mineral veins.

The second reason is probably that the [Remains of Heaven] has been taken away.

For today's sky giants, both the [Doomsday Number] and the floating island itself are designed to prevent the [Remains of the Sky] from falling to the ground.

Now that the [Remains of the Sky] are gone, things have naturally become a bit lax in this regard, with even the new generation being left behind. It can also be seen that even the old generation of sky giants are planning to end their mission.

"I understand what you mean."

After Blaze thought for a moment, he knew what High Priestess Megana had not yet expressed.

The mineral veins are related to the survival of the floating island and cannot be moved. But if we can find a way to ensure that even if the mineral veins are reduced a little, it will not affect the floating island, that would be fine.

In other words, the decrease in lift caused by the removal of the mineral veins must be compensated by other means.

This was not a difficult task. Blaze opened the monster encyclopedia of the floating island, which recorded in detail the monsters living in the sea of ​​clouds.

Some monsters rely on flying, while others rely on their own ability to levitate. By capturing these monsters, taming them, and tying them to the floating island, they can replace the lifting force brought by the mined ore veins.

If the sea of ​​clouds monsters are not enough, we can also use the hot air balloon technology brought by foreigners. If that is not enough, we can also add the God-era thrusters.

Blaze thought of so many ways because he didn't know how much floating island ore was needed to build a teleportation tower, nor did he know how much lift a piece of floating island ore could provide.

You know, if you want to ensure smooth transportation, you have to build at least one super-large transmission tower on the continent of Atlantis.

The core required to build a super-large transmission tower is no small thing.

After hearing the many plans Blaze offered to ensure the height of the floating island, High Priest Megana nodded and reached a preliminary exchange agreement with Blaze.

Next, as long as Blaze can bring a substitute for the ore vein, he can exchange the ore with the high priestess Megana.

After completing the negotiations, Blaze did not set off in a hurry, but instead looked around the temple of the sky giants, taking advantage of the presence of the high priestess Megana, who knew the situation best, to obtain some information.

Even though Kullene said it was okay, Blaze was no fool. If he said he wasn't worried, then he wasn't worried. It was better to worry about it than to suffer a loss at a critical moment in the future.

Blaze came to the mural in the album. Although this place was called a temple, it was actually just a few stone pillars and the murals in front of him. What was really important was the high priestess Megana and the [Broken Wall of Heaven] that had once been in her hands.

"Can I ask you, how did Dali Feizhuan get the [Remnant Wall of Heaven] from you?" Blaze couldn't help but be curious, but he regretted it as soon as he asked.

Is it even necessary to ask what strangers do?

Seeing the high priest Megana holding up the [Remnant of Heaven], she would definitely exclaim that she has discovered a hidden monster, and then come up and chop it down.

But this time he seemed to be overly worried. High Priest Megana touched her empty sleeves and sighed softly.

"He asked me if I was tired from carrying it like that, and I hadn't talked to anyone in a long time, so I answered."

"I'm tired and I want to see my son."

"Then he asked me to give him the [Remnant of Heaven]."

"Really? It sounds like something that Dali Feizhuan would do." Blaze chuckled. Dali Feizhuan is also a hot-blooded guy.

He looked at the mural, which was made of different stones. Even though countless years had passed, the content it wanted to express remained unchanged.

This is a male god of the sky, but as if to deliberately emphasize the importance, there are very obvious damages on the male parts.

It is quite disrespectful to materialize the sky as a god while describing the god's incomplete body, unless the incompleteness itself is also a part of the god.

There is no doubt that this sky god is Cyrene's great-grandfather, the first generation king of the gods.

Chapter 1608 Tourist Guide Map

Blaze asked a lot of questions about the murals, but unfortunately the floating island seemed to have existed longer than imagined, and even the high priestess Megana's understanding of it was very vague.

He felt it was a pity, but now was not the time to dwell on this matter. He should prioritize dealing with the things at hand.

He took out the map of the Floating Island Station and started looking at it. The map provided by the Floating Island Station was different from the map provided by Herbie.

What Herbie provided was a map of the floating island, describing every part of the floating island in great detail. The inn map was completely the opposite, the description of the floating island itself was quite general, but there was one extremely important thing.

That is the moving trajectory of the floating island.

The floating island is not hovering in one place in the sky, but is constantly moving, just like a fish living in the ocean. It keeps moving to prevent itself from being stranded, and always remains in the sea of ​​clouds.

This movement phenomenon is not operated by the sky giants, but is a natural phenomenon, and natural phenomena can be predicted.

The astrological school predicts the movement trajectory of the floating island every day and records it on the day's post station map.

It certainly makes sense to do so.

The sea of ​​clouds is also a sea, hiding countless secrets and home to an astonishing number of creatures. The creatures on earth have explored the sea of ​​clouds to the same extent as they have the ocean.

The floating island itself is like a natural platform for exploring the sea of ​​clouds. It shuttles through the sea of ​​clouds, just like a sightseeing carriage taking passengers on it to witness the cloud sea ecosystems.

The movement tracks drawn on the station map serve as a sightseeing guide, telling passengers where they will pass today and what unique cloud sea ecosystems they will see.

Blaze is very lucky. Today the floating island will arrive at a very dangerous area in the sea of ​​clouds, which is the survival area of ​​a large sea of ​​clouds ecosystem.

High Priest Megana told Blaze that this was one of the rare times she could leave the temple, and she would use [Remnants of the Sky] to repel the large cloud sea monsters that approached.

Blaze imagined the scene. If the level of the large sea of ​​clouds monster was below LV200, he would probably die without feeling anything. But if it was higher, he would feel the horror of his body being shattered bit by bit.

But nowadays there are no such troubles, because where there are troubles there are strangers.

[Hermes' Travel Hat] will only issue one thousand passes every day. If the moving track of the floating island is in the activity area of ​​some harmless cloud sea creatures, then there is no requirement for a pass.

If the situation is like today, where one is able to enter a large area of ​​biological activity in the sea of ​​clouds, it will only be available to foreigners who are strong and have many achievements.

This can also be regarded as indirectly hiring strangers to help protect the floating island. Based on Blaze's understanding of strangers, for a [copy] like this, which has a limit of 1000 places per day and has strength requirements during a specific period, people will definitely compete enthusiastically for the places.

This basically means that strangers have to pay to complete the commission.

Blaze compared the two maps and frowned. After losing the [Remnants of the Sky], the Sky Giant lost all ability to fight against the large cloud sea monsters.

This is not an exaggeration, the Sky Giants are a powerful race, and their basic qualities are much higher than those of the Giens, but the environment of the floating island limits the performance of the Sky Giants.

This place is ten thousand meters high in the sky. Facing those flying enemies, the non-flying sky giants have to fight with the awareness of certain death.

If it was a small or medium-sized cloud sea monster, it would be fine, but for those large ones, you have to jump onto the other side and guide the large cloud sea monster away from the floating island while causing continuous damage.

When the large cloud sea monster is destroyed, it is also the time of death. The monster will turn into dust and disappear after death, and the sky giant will lose its foothold and fall from the sky to shatter into pieces.

Therefore, [Broken Wall of the Sky] is extremely important. It is a weapon that can generate wind pressure. High Priest Megana only needs to swing [Broken Wall of the Sky] towards the approaching large cloud sea monster to easily blow away the surrounding cloud sea.

The loss of [The Remains of Heaven] was fatal, but fortunately the stranger made up for this part very well.

Compared to the simple sky giants, the strangers have a lot more tricks and they are not afraid of falling from the sky at all.

After the opening of the floating island, but before encountering the monsters in the sea of ​​clouds, the stranger had already made a suit called the hang glider series. By simply stretching out his limbs, he could pull out a hang glider and fly in the sky.

Nowadays, hang glider series sets are sold in the floating island station. In addition, there are emergency hot air balloons and other props to prevent falling from a height of ten thousand meters.

But Blaze has chickens, so there's no need.

I really don't know if he was lucky. When he was trading with the high priestess Megana, the floating island happened to pass through the activity area of ​​large cloud sea monsters. Those large cloud sea monsters were enough to withstand the loss of lift caused by digging out some of the minerals.

Blaze stared at the map for a while. The post station map was very accurate, with every detail of the time and area. He set his sights on the [Sky Kingfish].

[Sky Kingfish], as the name suggests, this is a king-level monster, with an average level of around LV160. It is basically the overlord of the sea of ​​clouds. It looks like a combination of a shark and a dragon, but its body is covered with colorful fish scales.

This group is the old enemy of the sky giants. A large number of sky fish regard the floating island as a good place to lay eggs, while the sky kingfish group regards the floating island as a dinner plate, and the dinner plate will be delivered to them at the appointed time.

Hunting the sky kingfish is not a difficult task, the problem is how to transform it into the lift needed for the floating island. Taming animals is an area he has not yet touched upon.

"Anyway, let's do it first."

For Blaze, there is no need to wait until the floating island reaches the airspace of the sky kingfish. Moreover, he is always extravagant when fighting, so the floating island might be affected.

After calling the chicken and riding on its back, Blaze turned to the high priest Megana and asked casually.

"By the way, do you know the employees at the Floating Island Inn?"

"Yes, I understand. They were all sent by President Hebi. They are very excellent employees." High Priest Megana subconsciously showed a kind smile.

To the tall race, the short race looks like a child no matter how you look at it.

"Their workload is a bit too much. They are so tired that they are calling for their mom." Blazer joked.

"Tired?" High Priest Megana was stunned. "Come to think of it, they seem to be acting a little tired recently, but as soon as they arrived, they seemed to be very sleepy all day."

Chapter 1609 Sea of ​​Clouds

The chicken was galloping through the sea of ​​clouds with Blaze on its back. Listening to the whistling sound in his ears, Blaze kept frowning.

He had seen the capabilities of [Hermes' Traveling Hat] many times, and the most shocking thing was not its huge financial resources or connections, but its well-trained employees.
