Twenty days later.

Eager to see the fabled city in the sky sooner, Grim freshened up early in the morning, ate breakfast, and walked onto the deck.

At this moment, the deck was already overcrowded, and even many wizards who were bored as soon as they stepped on the flying ship appeared in it, occupying some of the most advantageous positions on the side of the ship, quietly waiting for the appearance of the Holy City.

The flying ship was now passing through the clouds, and the white clouds shaped like marshmallows were torn into pieces of broken cotton wool by the ejected wind particles, leaving a white cloud path behind the ship.

While everyone was anxiously waiting, there was a sudden light in front of them.

The flying ship cut through the clouds and plunged headlong into a clear void.

The sky was so blue.

On the vast blue grasslands of the ground, you can see gray roads that lead in all directions, as well as alchemical castles scattered everywhere and vast cattle and sheep pastures.

And between heaven and earth, a great city is floating there with a magnificent and holy atmosphere, but also full of mystery, quietly waiting for them to visit.

From a distance, the city in the sky resembles an upside-down pyramid, with a thick and round top and a slightly sharp bottom. Beneath the city is apparently a single layer of sand dug out of the ground, which has been treated with witchcraft to resemble an upside-down hill.

And directly below the Sky City, a huge lake covering an area of tens of thousands of acres is clearly visible.

Looking at its size and shape, it's easy to understand the origin of the foundation of Sky Castle!

The Sky City apparently possessed some kind of resistance field, so an invisible air barrier pushed the clouds out of the sky, artificially creating an empty area within 30 miles around it.

And the flying ship just pierced out of the sea of clouds and entered this clear space.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound of gear machinery running in the void, and the boulders suspended in the air slowly approached the flying ship.

"This is the first test to enter Sky City, don't resist, let alone attack these mechanical guards!" commanded a silver-robed Alliance wizard on the flying ship. With the expansion of his mysterious authority, his voice was not loud, but it was able to reach every living entity on the flying ship, even the wizards who had sealed themselves in their rooms.

Mechanical Guard?!

Grim glanced at the boulders in confusion.

A total of 5 boulders.

Each one is 3 meters tall and 2 meters thick, with a rocky surface and mud and sand, and some vines and small trees growing on it, which seem to be a huge rock cut from the top of the mountain.

However, as soon as they approached the flying ship, a dazzling fluorescence suddenly appeared from inside the rock, and a large area of intricate rune lines and witchcraft symbols appeared on its surface. Then the boulder trembled, and the rocks were misplaced, revealing black holes.

Immediately, some metallic mechanical arms poked out of it and stretched out towards the flying ship.

At the end of the mechanical arm, a bloodshot creepy with its eyes scanning the surroundings.

As the boulder drifted near the flying ship, the eyeballs at the ends of the metal tentacles shot out strange blue rays, slowly sweeping over the crowd.

Five boulders surrounded the flying ship, almost impenetrating the wind and rain around its perimeter, and a network of blue light crisscrossed it, scanning the crowd and the hull. Even the thick deck can't block the blue light from penetrating. Even the people in the cabin were scanned to the slightest detail.

With the hint of the Alliance Wizards, the wizards on board the ship did not cast spells to resist the penetration of blue light. And this blue light is obviously only a low-level witchcraft detection, mainly used to identify the identity of creatures, to detect whether the target has camouflage, transformation and parasitic effects and other witchcraft effects, and will not touch the deep secrets of wizards.

Everything was fine when it scanned the wizard, but when the blue light scanned the goblin Kirby, the blue light paused for a moment. However, as an identity talisman on Kirby's neck also lit up with a witchcraft fluorescence, the blue light swept by, and the alert mechanism was not triggered.

This talisman was specially handled by Grim from the silver-robed wizard on the ship.

Without this, an alien creature like Goblin Kirby would not be able to move an inch in the Sky City. It contains the sorcery sigils of Kirby's contract master, Grim, and the guarantor wizard Angus, and if lost, it will be directly detained or expelled by the Sky City Guard.

The time of detection is not long.

When the blue light scanned the entire ship, the boulders withdrew their metal tentacles, turned into floating boulders again, and slowly left.

Grim looked around, and in the clear space area of Nuoda, every flying ship that emerged from the sea of clouds was surrounded by a number of mechanical guards, and the flickering blue light was clearly visible.

After the inspection, the flying ship began to move forward again, and gradually began to approach the outer ring platform of Sky City.

And as the distance approached a little bit, the sky city, which was only dimly visible just now, finally unveiled the veil of mystery and presented its true side to everyone.

To be honest, although I have read the description of the city in the sky in many books, when it is presented in real form, many wizards who visit for the first time are still shocked.

Viewed from above, the city in the sky looks like three huge concentric rings set together, dividing the entire outline of the city into three clear pieces. This is probably the origin of the inner ring, the middle ring, and the outer ring!

All the huge buildings full of bizarre and psychedelic styles are built on these rings, on which almost every inch of land is covered by dense buildings and plants. The three large rings are separated by some mysterious force, which is easy to cross, and can only be crossed by some special bridges.

Looking down from Grim's point of view, you can see wooden buildings hidden in huge greenery, tall and sturdy stone buildings, and metal buildings full of high-tech flavor. Towering minarets, round palaces, strangely shaped and twisted alien buildings...... It's almost a fair of special buildings, with everything you can imagine.

Small, ant-like pedestrians come and go in the white, spacious streets, and they seem to be bustling.

In the inner ring, a real mountain was transplanted there, and many huge and magnificent buildings were built on top of the mountain, occupying a commanding position, looking down majestically over the entire city in the sky.

Above the Sky Castle, even larger peaks and boulders floated there, and it was faintly visible that there were caves that could be accessed and entered, and wizards on huge flying mounts could enter and exit them.

Grim guessed that this was probably some kind of garrison and part of Sky City's huge, tightly packed three-dimensional defense system.

As for the smaller alchemy guards, there are even more, and together with the huge flying birds carrying loads of goods, they form a busy and orderly corner of the sky in Sky City.

The place where the flying ship docks is the flying platform of the outer ring.

There is a flying platform like this almost every 5 miles, and the flying boats rise and fall on it, and it seems extremely busy.

When Grimm, Alice, and Kirby, led by the wizard of Angus, stepped off the flying ship and stepped onto the neat and clean marble floor of the city in the sky, looking at the mysterious and fantastical scenes around them, there was still a look of disbelief on their faces.

Warm sunlight shone from the sky, shining above the alchemical city, and everywhere there were specks of light reflected off the exterior of the exquisite buildings.

This makes the city in the sky even more beautiful and splendid!

Most of the people who shuttle back and forth between Grim and others are wizards, and there are also some wizard apprentices, and some alien creatures in gorgeous costumes can also be seen every once in a while. As for those ordinary people, they are simply not qualified to set foot in this great city that marks the highest alchemy achievement in the wizarding world.

Grim deliberately observed that on the flying platform, the coolies who were doing the work of loading and unloading goods were all tall and mighty iron golems. Although their movements are a little clumsy, their work efficiency is ten times more than that of human coolies.

And it is the wizard apprentices who direct their work.

It can be seen that the people at the bottom of this sky city are these wizard apprentices!

As soon as Grim and his party stepped out of the flying platform, the alchemy carriages stopped smoothly in front of them.

The golden carriages, the golden wheels, the golden attendants, and even the two horses pulling the carts were golden......

Two golden steeds stopped in front of Grim, snorting and gently gouging their hooves, almost like real horses.

However, Grim's perception "sees" very clearly.

None of them are real lifeforms, but rather an alchemical creation, or as they can be called, alchemical creatures!

"See you at 167 Cattail Elysee!" said Angus Wizard first got into a carriage, nodded at Grim and headed away.

When the fully metallized alchemy horse galloped quickly, it did not give people the slightest stiff and sluggish feeling of metal creation, and even the hard metal horses' hooves landed on the smooth marble floor without the expected deafening sound.

The alchemy carriage was like a small boat floating on the water, calmly and quickly interspersed with the crowd, and disappeared into the vast sea of people.

Grim looked at the bizarre fantasy scene in front of him with a shocked heart, and his mind always couldn't help but overlap it with some ultra-sci-fi earth scenes. And in his mind, the hint of the chip never stopped.

"Drop, discover the ...... of an unknown alchemical creation"

"Drop, perceive the presence of an unknown force field......"

"Drop, Strange Lifeform ...... Detected"

“……”

There was so much more to it than he expected, it almost made him feel like he was on Earth in the future.

When the study of the occult reaches the depths, could it be that it will also go down the same path as the technological civilization and eventually embark on the same path?

While Grim was silently in a daze, Alice couldn't stop screaming, and every time she saw a mysterious object that she had never seen before, she couldn't help but exclaim.

And the goblin Kirby lay on the alchemy carriage and fumbled around, and even nibbled with his teeth from time to time to verify his conjecture. Looking at the obsessive smile on its face, it must have thought that it had arrived in the legendary El Dorado!

"Let's go too!" Grim closed his eyes for a moment to steady his mind, then turned back and ordered, "Settle here first and then come out for a walk!"

The three of them got into the alchemy carriage in front of them.

"Go to 167 Champtail Elysee!"

As soon as the order was given, the alchemy carriage started smoothly!
