Rivadeo in the Sky City –
This is the city of miracles suspended in the heavens and all worlds, and it is also the most mysterious and hard-to-find miracle building among the three holy places of mages, along with the Ice Wind Castle and the City of Secret Laws.
There are nearly 10,000 mages living in this city, plus the mage's relatives, creatures from all walks of life who have visited Sky City, and magic servants who have been enslaved by mages, and the resident population has reached a million people.
The exterior of the Sky City is plagued by terrifying storms all day long, but when viewed from the inside out, the storm is transparent, allowing the residents living in the city to see the wonders of the heavens and all the worlds.
Sky City resembles a cone-shaped building formed by a large circle and a small circle, and is divided into nine floors, each of which is divided into ten small floors, and the terraced fields and forests that are as delicate as works of art are layered down, in which countless magical creatures from various worlds live, and the residents' domestic water flows from the palace at the top to the lower layers, forming a stream of river.
Sky City has its own ecological circulation system, water can be collected from the magic energy pool on the top of the palace, and if you enter the lonely and cold astral realm, the magic energy pool can create a miniature sun to supply the city's energy. In short, mages who have been to Sky City will think that it is a half-dimensional plane with complete ecological functions, but it has been transformed into a mobile city by Edwin, the Lord of the Stars, with great power.
If you don't count Sylvia, who has not been known until now, the Star Lord is undoubtedly the most mysterious of the Root Kings.
He sits in the palace of the Sky City all day long, laughing at the changes in the world, no matter how much he favors others, he never takes the initiative to accept disciples (of course, this rule is broken by Ai Wen), believing that those who are destined to find the city and enter are all disciples.
It is precisely because of this that the good and the bad are uneven. There are loyal and talented people like Daniel Davis, and people like McCarthyna, the disciple of the stars, who sold themselves to the emperor and were finally smashed by Sylvia. In addition, there are not a few people who serve the Lord of the Black in the Fallen Abyss, sell themselves to seek advanced demigods, and desire power to cause trouble in the rest of the world.
Today, Edwin's most trusted disciple, Daniel Davis, has been standing outside the palace for more than a month. Edwin, the Lord of the Stars, likes beautiful and delicate things, which is quite similar to the elves, his court is dominated by flowers and plants, and the whole palace has a touch of green delicacy in the magnificence, and all kinds of creatures inhabit the period, which makes this empty palace more vibrant.
A one-legged, one-eyed cardinal landed on Daniel's shoulder, a rare creature unique to the Moissanite world, this bird is good at sensing bad luck, crying when it encounters evil, and singing when it encounters good luck, this natural instinct is not to sense the long river of fate, but to sense the danger similar to the instinct of a beast. Edwin liked this finch, which was still frightened and trembling when he first arrived in Sky City, but over time, perhaps sensing Edwin's kindness, became friendly to humans.
At this moment, the fierce bird that landed on Daniel's shoulder opened its mouth and made a desolate sound similar to a child's night cry. Daniel's face changed, he looked at the silent palace in front of him, and he couldn't help but rush to the palace gate with his worries about the teacher.
Since the annihilation of one of the Three Saints, the famous Ice Lake Princess Sylvia, came, the palace has been closed for more than a month. Daniel knew they were talking about a game in their hands to set the pitch. Originally, in his opinion, although Sylvia was powerful, she had not achieved the root after all, and where was she the opponent of her own teacher, the star lord Edwin.
But this ease disappeared twenty days ago, and Daniel knew that there was a huge gap between the legend and the root, and even a legendary mage like Sylvia, who claimed to be the first person under the root, could not be compared to the root king in terms of thinking speed and spiritual domain. It stands to reason that this game of mage chess should have been decided a long time ago, but now that the winner has not been scored for more than a month, it has to make Daniel have a lot of doubts and worries in his heart.
- The teacher is not going to be defeated, is he!?
But this idea was quickly suppressed by Daniel, and he secretly thought, how could the teacher, as the king of the roots, lose to a legend? When you think about it, I'm really far from the real top legends!
Daniel is not worried, you must know that mage chess is not an ordinary chess game, the two sides of the game are chess from various worlds and races in the multiverse, and the wide range of thinking, speed, and energy required are almost unlimited. Mage chess is not only a game, but also known as a bloodless war between mages, if one side does not admit defeat and hold the chess game, it is very likely to die of exhaustion. Even the winner, if not by a great advantage, is likely to suffer great damage.
In Daniel's opinion, Sylvia can go down to this level with Edwin in the legendary class, and she is afraid that she will die of exhaustion, but if she can do it to this extent, it can be regarded as a defeat or an honor. It's just that even if Edwin wins, it is estimated that he will not be able to please any good, and I think this is the reason why the fierce bird will cry suddenly!
But when Daniel pushed open the palace gate, he was shocked by what he saw!
In the palace, Edwin and Sylvia sat opposite each other, and a huge complex chessboard hung in the magnificent space between them. Daniel only glanced at it and didn't dare to look at it again, because the amount of information contained in the chessboard was too huge, Daniel just subconsciously analyzed it for a moment, and was rushed into his mind by the huge flow of information, and for a while, the simulated sky city built in the sea of consciousness actually had a tendency to collapse.
What an amazing feat!
Daniel couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for Sylvia despite the defeat, if he played against Edwin, let alone thirty days, even three days would be difficult. He subconsciously looked at Sylvia, thinking that he would see a hollow body after the annihilation of her soul, but what he saw was only her slightly wilted peerless face.
Daniel was shocked, and in his eyes, Sylvia's eyes were tired and languishing, but her eyes were ice blue. Daniel heard that Sylvia was cold by nature, no, it was not right to say that she was cold, it was said that she had no human feelings, but now it seemed that there was a smile in her eyes, and there was actually a hint of pride of a little girl.
Daniel was startled, and a ridiculous possibility welled up in his mind, and he was just about to look at Edwin on the other side, when he heard Sylvia say, "You lost, Edwin." ”
Perhaps because she had not drunk water for more than a month and had spent a lot of energy to carry out a chess game, Sylvia's voice was slightly hoarse, and the voice was like the sound of the summer wind, which was extremely tickling.
But to Daniel's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue, he looked at Edwin, and sure enough, he saw the teacher he regarded as a god lying languidly on the other end, holding the ground with his hands, and his beautiful face, which was usually comparable to a woman, had no trace of blood, like inferior clothes that had been washed and bleached, and was extremely pale.
"Teacher!" Daniel walked a few steps in front of Edwin, but was waved back by Edwin, so he turned around, forgetting how Sylvia could outperform his own teacher in mage chess, and glared at the stunning girl across from him with resentment.
At this time, I only heard Edwin reply with a lack of energy, "The predecessor really deserves his reputation. ”
Sylvia smiled slightly, her equally pale and tired face blooming like a pure white lily.
She didn't notice that Edwin didn't mention the defeat, and in Edwin's opinion, although he lost the Mage Chess, he won a big victory on another battlefield!
That battlefield is in the world of Stee, which is separated by thousands of worlds, in the thousand-year-old complex called Savoaburg!
