Chapter 506: Floating City (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription)
"Me? Why? "Soram positioned himself as an assistant from the start, so I didn't think I was very important at first.
He himself thinks that in the eyes of the Arcane One, his duty should be regarded as the role of a courier, and even if he has completed most of the tasks in front of Elistra Arcane One, the others should not be of much help.
But after coming to Okasuan, he received the attention and courtesy. So that Soram couldn't figure out what this guy was thinking, how did he become the master of the city? He was also cared so much by the Arcane One, even comparing his status to that of Elise.
"Because I need the city to have an heir! This is an important task given to me by my core program! This is also one of the most important tasks given to me by my master! What's more, Elistra can see that your soul is special, and I can also see that when I perceive Elisetsu, I also discover you. ”
"Your soul traits and your excellent talents are fully qualified to inherit this floating city! What's more, if I want to transcend my essence, I have to be free! It is impossible for a bound soul to become a true deity! And if I want to detach, I must first get myself out of this floating city, and this premise is that this floating city must have a new owner, and it just so happens that you are the best candidate! ”
It turns out that the Arcane One has been trying to find a way out for itself all these years.
He found that for him to truly get out of his current predicament, first and foremost, by getting out of the city!
But herein there is a paradox!
The basis of his existence is the city, and his core procedure is to ensure the normal operation of the city, and it is impossible for him to leave the city alone, which is contrary to his core procedure!
He can't do that, and if he does, his core program will crash and he'll die.
But the problem is, if he doesn't get out of here, he's going to burp too.
Because he doesn't know how long this delicate balance can be preserved!
So he has such a paradox, if he wants to continue to exist, he must get out of this floating city, but his core program can't let him get out of it!
This is embarrassing, if he can't solve this problem, even if he devours Elise, he can't escape this paradox, even if he survives this crisis, then next time, next time?
After so many years of thinking and calculating, Arcane One really found a way for him to find a new master for the city! As long as the city has an owner, then he can transfer a series of permissions and no longer be the manager of the city.
When the time comes, it will be much easier for him to break away from Okassuan and become an unfettered individual, even if there is a backlash, it is within the range of what he can bear. And he's ready to strip away this part of the core program, and he's going to make a new creation.
However, there is another problem here, that is, this heir is not easy to find.
First of all, there must be certain standards, not everyone can become the master of a floating city. Before leaving, his master had already considered the situation that he would not return, so in Arcane One, there were criteria for how to choose a new master.
Ideally, of course, a tried and tested Grand Arcanist would inherit the city, or be his original disciple. If you don't have a good candidate in the end, choose a talented caster to inherit the city.
At that time, when the owner of Arcane No. 1 left, he was in a bit of a hurry, so he didn't make very detailed requests on this point, but just explained it in general terms. Maybe he just confessed casually at that time, and he didn't expect that he and his disciples really didn't come back......
This made the arcane number one very distressed, in the long wait, he did not wait for the master's heir, so he could only choose the heir according to the procedure, but his master's words were too general, he couldn't really just find a random person.
So he formulated a criterion for selecting people based on the master's words and the habits of the master's life. That is, you must be a mage (arcanist), you must be very talented, and you must not be a believer in the gods.
And Arcane One has also written these conditions into its core program......
But it was the standards he set earlier that pitted him later!
Because before the master left, the last order, and the order with the highest degree of execution, was to raise the space barrier, protect the entire Okasuan, and do his best to repair the badly damaged Okasuan.
Once the spatial barrier is raised, the entire Okasukan becomes an enclosed space. It is simply impossible for anyone to find the city.
And this has also led to the fact that Arcane One has not seen a living person for tens of thousands of years in the future......
It wasn't until later that a group of lizardfolk drifting in the sea were washed near the space barrier.
According to Arcane One's judging criteria, these lizardmen are uncivilized intelligent creatures, and according to the protocol, they cannot be accepted.
However, Arcane One already had feelings at the time, and driven by sympathy and loneliness, it bypassed the protocol and accepted the lizardfolk in the name of collecting materials for biological experiments.
At the same time, he also hopes to find a suitable successor among these lizardmen. For this reason, he also gave some help to those lizardmen, hoping to cultivate these lizardmen......
However, the Arcane One was very upset, the lizardmen were too primitive to be the heir, and even worse, his care had led the lizardmen down a path that was diametrically opposed to the Arcanist, and they began to worship the Matrompool......
And it's not wrong that Arcane One is the entire Okasuan, after all, he is the tower spirit of Okasuan, so worshipping the Maelstrom is also worshipping him, how can he let his followers become the masters of Okasuan?
During the time of Nessreel, the Arcanists had always tended to be contemptuous and indifferent to the gods and beliefs, openly believing that the gods were just arcanists who were more powerful than them, and that the gods were nothing great at all.
This view has been throughout the Nessera of Nesser, when many people tried to study the gods in vain, and there were many radical organizations that wanted to kill the gods and dissect them......
Therefore, almost all the gods and goddesses have a look of disgust and disgust when they mention the era of Nessreel, because those guys are blasphemers.
In the time of Nessreel, the Grand Arcanist and the gods were basically opposed, with the gods hating the Grand Arcanist and the Grand Arcanist ignoring the gods. Hell, in the days of Nessreel, there was no way for the Arcanists to receive the blessings of divine magic.
In short, those lizardmen actually ran to believe in themselves, so in the eyes of Arcane One, they were disqualified from being the heirs of the Floating City. Because they are completely on the wrong track.
The next werewolves are similar, and Arcane One can only pass them.
Because they didn't meet the standards of the Floating City, and although he had feelings for these creatures who believed in them, Arcane One still couldn't disobey his master's orders, or rather, he couldn't violate the rules he had set for himself.
In the years since, he has not sensed other mages. But today's mages are not what they used to be, and even if those mages don't care about the gods, most of them will choose a god to believe in, so as not to be pasted after death......
Therefore, the search for an heir for Arcane One has been delayed.
Later, he became a demigod by chance, and things became even more urgent.
To this day, he ran into Solam.
Solam's talent is undoubted, he is a level 10 spellcaster at a young age, and his soul is so special, his future must be limitless! What's more, he's not a believer in any god yet!
It was just perfect!
So whether it's to free himself from the shackles of the Floating City, or to fulfill his master's orders, he needs Solam!
"Wait! You say this is a floating city???? Solam didn't care about anything else. There was only one sentence that made Soram care very much.
"Yes! It's not just the city, in fact, the entire island is part of the Floating City. Originally, the matter of the Floating City was enough to surprise Solam, but I didn't expect that the Arcane One said something that shocked Soram even more!
Solam thought he had misheard, the whole island was a floating city?!!!
Floating City! It was the greatest creation of the Great Arcanists of the Nethrel era! It's also the ultimate weapon fortress that will make the whole world tremble! These magical cities suspended in the air carry the glory of the entire Nessreal Empire!
But those floating cities are at most the size of a city, and according to some texts, the largest floating city belongs to the Grand Arcanist Karsus, and Karsus's arrogance led him to name the floating city after himself.
This is similar to Long Aotian among the Great Arcanists, and he is also the proudest and most powerful of the Great Arcanists, he either doesn't do it, or he sits at the best! So his floating city was also the largest and most spectacular at that time.
(At the age of 22, he became a Grand Arcanist, then at the age of 45, he became one of the most powerful Grand Arcanists, and then at an eye-popping speed, he caught up with the demigod Iolem!) A proper dragon aotian template! )
In that floating city, countless skilled craftsmen combined with the power of magic to create countless ingenious structures that seemed to follow any laws of physics at all, and even escaped the limitations of gravity! They are like scenes from a dream, and they are completely incredible.
But even so, this floating city is only the size of a city, and it is home to about 300,000 people!
And how big is Okasuan? That's more than 100,000 square kilometers! This can already be called a small continent! 300,000 people were thrown inside, and they couldn't even make a splash.
It's completely impossible! Someone can surpass the Grand Arcanist Karsus? Solam thinks it's this guy bragging!
"Yes, this is an entire floating city, the final creation of my master, the Grand Arcanist Nicardo! It is a masterpiece that transcends the entire Nessera era! It took my master more than 500 years to complete this masterpiece! ”
Speaking of this, the tone of the Arcane One became proud and nostalgic! The first time he had his emotions was because of his endless reverence for his master, Nicardo, who had done something that no one had done before.
As we all know, the most important reason why the Floating City can float in the air is because the "Core of Mithera" continuously draws magic from the magic net to support the floating city to resist gravity.
But the carrying capacity of the "Core of Mythera" is always limited, so the size of the floating city is certain, and the size of the general floating city is at most to accommodate tens of thousands of people to live in it, no matter how big it is.
And the "cores of Mithera" cannot be used at the same time within close range, because if they are too close, the cores of Mithera will affect each other, and the magic net magic power of an area is limited, and the number of cores of Mithera will cause a vacuum from the magic net mana.
As a result, all the cores of Mithera do not have enough magic power to operate, and the last one does not want to be used, so all the floating cities are just the core of Mithera.
This is a worldwide problem, and even Calsus has not been able to solve it, and his Mithera's core is only more functional, but it is still a single core.
