Chapter 753: "Red Robe" Andre
The Great Floating City opens a corridor, and the lights signal "Welcome to visit". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Let's go." Prince Carol cast a spell and teleported directly to Roland, Otto, Indira, and Eugen, before flying down the wide corridor into the interior of the Great Floating City.
Roland adjusts gravity and follows Carol as she flies through the corridor. The walls of the corridor are made of glass-like reflective crystal plates, reinforced with magic and as hard as steel, and the "unquenchable flame" floats in the air, like street lamps to guide the way forward.
Passing through the long corridor, the front suddenly opened up, and what appeared in front of Roland's eyes was a magnificent picture: a huge sphere suspended in the air, emitting a warm and soft light, like an artificial sun, illuminating the rows of buildings in the interior of the Great Floating City. Many towers made of crystal rise from the ground, like skyscrapers, there are glowing links between the towers, and if you look closely, you will find that it is a "wind ladder" blessed with the "inextinguishable flame", and there are often men and women in robes who step on the wind ladder and teleport to the opposite entrance of the building with a volley.
Beneath the towers are well-planned streets and low-rise buildings, mostly shops and factories, divided into residential, industrial, military and administrative areas with different functions.
What surprised him even more was that most of those busy figures were constructed bodies, including golems and secret puppets that resembled human beings, which could be called "robots" in general terms, and more of them were animal forms, insect forms, and even functional structures with very abstract appearances, as for humans, most of them were mages and warlocks, commanding the servants of the construction to work.
Roland flew all the way, and everything he saw and heard was new. The first impression of the Great Floating City did not match the expected "magic city", and it was more sci-fi like "Macross Fortress". Perhaps magic and technological civilization have developed to a certain height, as the main body of civilization, human beings will focus more on intellectual work, as for cleaning, maintaining law and order, manufacturing and other manual labor, all need to rely on automation devices, in the world dominated by science and technology is robots, and in the world dominated by magic is the construct, regardless of the source of energy to drive the machine, a world full of constructs and the world where robots can be seen everywhere will always leave a similar impression on outsiders, the so-called "different paths to the same end" That's it.
"There are more structures in this city than there are living people! If it weren't for 'Laputa', I would have thought I had come to the Sindra Kingdom in the Machine Realm! Indira exclaimed.
At this time, a clear voice came from above: "There are a total of 800 mechanisms responsible for daily maintenance in Laputa City, even if you count the personal constructs of the mages, there will not be more than 2,000, the reason why you think that the constructs are more than people is because the mages rarely go out, most of them are engaged in research in laboratories and factories, and the chores of running errands are all taken care of by the constructs, and the latter seem to be more active than their owners." ”
Roland looked up and saw a man in a red robe standing by the wind ladder with his hands in his hands, smiling to welcome his group. This Mr. Mage with extraordinary aura looks like he is in the prime of life, his thin and straight figure looks energetic, his appearance has a bit of Nikita's shadow, two sword eyebrows fly obliquely into his temples, and his shiny bald head gives people a strong sense of oppression, and when he raises his hand to make a gesture of welcome, the silver flame tattoo on the back of his left palm seems to be burning, exuding a strong arcane energy.

……
The detection results of the "Pupil of Fate" confirmed Roland's suspicions, and this was none other than Nikita's father, Andrei "The Red Robe" Romanoff, the chief archmage of the Far Eastern Lighthouse Arcane Society, and the owner of the Great Floating City.
Roland also noticed that Andre looked at him a little strangely, as if he was looking at a commodity and deciding whether it was worth spending a lot of money to buy, which reminded Roland that Andre also had an identity as the head of the Far Eastern Alfa Bank, well, this is indeed the look that a banker should have.
With some apprehension, he stepped forward and took the initiative to bow to the legendary archmage.
Andrei smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said gently: "Nikita always mentions you every time she writes to her family, and I have always wondered what kind of charm General Rudolph's son has, and he can tame my family's proud 'little lark' to follow you all over the Far East. ”
"You're too famous, but I don't have a companion who is proficient in arcane arts, so I asked Nikita to come along, and she helped me and the other companions solve many problems along the way, for which I am always grateful." Roland replied with a sense of measure.
Andre smiled, and before he could speak, Carol took over, "Roland, my naughty girl doesn't know much magic, and following you will probably only cause trouble." ”
"Of course not! Ronnie is smart and good at a lot of special skills, and she has helped us a lot along the way. Roland's forehead couldn't help but sweat.
Indira also saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, elbowed Otto, and whispered: "Master Andre and Prince Carol have an abnormal attitude towards Roland, why is it a bit like they are fighting for their daughter's husband?" ”
Otto glanced at her sideways and made a "shut up" gesture. Indira shrank back stupidly, still muttering to herself, "Lady Beacon Hill, or the princess of Parnia?" Roland, this kid, has encountered a happy trouble. ”
Sandwiched between two legends, Carol and Andre, Roland is tormented in this secret battle for a son-in-law, and there is no happiness at all.
finally managed to get into the living room, I thought that I could talk about business next, and I was no longer the focus of everyone's attention, so I could relieve the pressure and breathe a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect Andre to release another big move.
"Anna, the young man our daughter often mentioned in her letters is here, don't you want to talk to him?"
"It doesn't have to be......" Roland awkwardly tried to refuse.
However, it backfired, and a hazy shadow quietly appeared in front of him, exuding a cold negative energy, like a ghost from the spirit world.
