Chapter Twenty-Three: Man Conquers Heaven
The city of Il, located on a continuous mountain range, this mountain range is called the Rocky Mountains, surrounded by mountains, in the middle of which is a blue lake, this lake is the lake of the gods - Lake Kirios. The shores of Lake Kirios are covered with fiery Harila maple trees, and from a distance, it looks like two heavens, half fire and half water, not ordinary wonder.
At the beginning, the Alchemy Holy City was built according to the gentle mountain, and the walls of the castle almost encompassed the entire Rocky Mountains, almost a living mountain in the city, a strange scene in the mountain. Later, more and more people settled here, so the castle gradually radiated to the surrounding area, and gradually became a large-scale castle complex. Castle-like buildings stand all around the city, guarding the city of alchemy like stars holding the moon. As a result, this magnificent architectural miracle turned out to be a giant city with mountains and cities after cities.
During the day, it looks like a continuous series of mountains and castles, and at night it is like a bright star in the sky, and a large area falls on the Rocky Mountains without paying attention, and the magic lights of various buildings are like crystalline jewels, some like diamonds, some like emeralds, some like agate, and so on, dotting the entire city of Il into a city that never sleeps.
The old city walls are built with huge square boulders, which are said to be old, but in fact they are relatively related to the surrounding castles, but in fact, the old city walls seem to have just been built, and the surrounding new castles are full of monuments, but it seems to be the first to be built.
At night, you can also see the runes of eternal love shining on the city walls with the naked eye, although the boulder has been tempered by the years, but it is still as if it has just been mined from the grotto, and then newly polished by craftsmen, it looks smooth as a mirror, not a single dust can fall, and even the shadow of a person can be seen, so to speak, the years are old, and the city of Il is still young.
The architectural style of the Alchemy City is diverse and eclectic, which is related to Glasgow Levin's proposition, he attaches importance to foundation and practice, advocates innovation and innovation, and encourages alchemists to think differently, to be able to go off the beaten path, to give full play to their natural talents, and to create their own alchemy path.
Because of this, the architecture of the alchemy city is not uniform, but it is mainly cylindrical, spired-like towers, quite like a magic tower before the bright century, the alchemy tower in the castle is high and low, and the rows are like a forest of rocks or a tower-like ocean one after another.
Looking at the magnificent and brand-new city walls and all kinds of beautiful buildings, Ilan and Agnes, who came to admire it, were extremely shocked in their hearts, and their surprises were overflowing, but their hearts were extremely admired for the magic of alchemy, which actually made a majestic city still as clean as new after thousands of years.
After leaving Utua and bidding farewell to Uncle Iasa, the two of them traveled for the night and traveled for five days, and finally today, Elan and Agnes, who were in the dust, arrived at the city of Eir early in the morning. Riding the rabbit camel and Arya, the two followed the mighty flow of people into the inner city of Il, that is, the real alchemy holy city built by Grand Grandmaster Levine of Glasgow, who personally supervised the construction.
On the gate of Il, the word "Il" hangs high, which was written by the great alchemy master Glasgow Levine, his old man. In the center of the city, it is his seventy-two disciples and re-transmission disciples, the bronze statue erected for this alchemy master, although it has been baptized for countless years, it is still brand new and shining.
This is an ordinary old man, short, chubby, with a dark face, very plain dress, even a little sloppy, with a pointed goatee. is the appearance of an old man who is a dealer, not eye-catching at all, and does not match the identity of the great master of alchemy. However, the old man's face was very kind, and his eyes were shining brightly, which was the spark of wisdom burning, inspiring the world to create their own alchemy path.
"Yilan, come here, you see, this city wall is really not damaged at all!" As soon as she entered the wide gate hole, Agnes could not help but be curious, and her active nature drove her, and she jumped off the back of the rabbit camel Maoni, and began to caress the tall city wall with her little hands, the wall was as smooth as new, with sharp edges and corners, leaving no trace of the erosion of time, as if time had stood still here.
"Well, it's exactly as rumored to be, it's spotless and brand new despite the erosion of time. It's amazing, I don't know if I have a chance to see the power of Eternal Love, if only I could see the runes of Eternal Love. Ilan was impressed by the charm of eternal love and began to lament that he could not be in the same era as Glasgow Levin.
"Hmph, I'm afraid you don't have a chance, no one will attack Alchemy City without long eyes. I've heard that Kyrios, the god of destruction, in order to destroy the city of alchemy, instigated the entire four countries of the Harila continent, and hundreds of thousands of professional armies to launch a year-long attack on the city of Il, which is the legendary battle between alchemy and gods, and there are hundreds of thousands of magic cannonballs fired every day alone. The little girl took out all the things she had gotten from the book, not to mention our Ani's age, but she knew a lot, "At that time, magic, spells, and all kinds of strange spells were overwhelming, enveloping the entire city of Il in a sea of spells and elemental attacks, but such a fierce attack lasted for three years, more than a thousand days and nights, during which magic and attacks were not interrupted, but in any case, they could not cause the slightest damage to the city walls. ”
"It's unbelievable that this city is so powerful." Ilan opened his eyes wide and looked at this magnificent giant city carefully, a sincere sense of pride flowed in his heart, and then he clenched his hands hard, muttering to himself in a voice that only he could hear, his eyes were full of confidence: "Well, I also want to become an alchemy grandmaster, and strive to restore the eternal love rune." ”
In the end, even when Kyrios himself intervened, the tornadoes in the sky carried the monstrous waves, the magical flames on the ground were overwhelming, and Kirios's scimitar flashed with divine light, and he struck hard with thunderous rage, and as a result, there was not even a single mark on the city wall. This is the victory of man. The little girl danced with her hands, as if she was at that time, she was very excited, the gods were originally high and had nothing to do with mortals, but the alchemy city broke this concept and actually withstood the attack of the gods, which undoubtedly shocked and proudized Agnes, which made her understand the sentence that man conquers the sky more deeply.
"Yes, this castle is still the same as when it was first built, with sharp edges and corners, and there is no wear and tear at all, I really didn't expect it to be able to withstand the full force of the strongest attack Kirios, that is a real god. The city of mortals actually made the gods helpless, haha, it is really man who will win the sky. Ilan groped for the smooth walls, sighed in his heart, and had a trace of yearning for the path to godhood.
"Don't say it's you, it's the god of heaven, the god of destruction who is ashamed and angry, Kyrios, who has used all his abilities, and Alchemy City is still unscathed." Agnes was full of pride, and with a look of unteachable in her tone, she once again commented on the city's defenses.
"Oh, yes, yes, magical runes of eternal love. It's a miracle, no, it should be a miracle! Ilan hurriedly picked up the conversation and couldn't stop admiring it, so as to prevent Agnes from going berserk if she was not suitable.
"It's a miracle, but it's also a slap in the face, a real slap in the face. It was still the face of the god of destruction, Kyrios, and in this world, there was something that his god of destruction could not destroy. This made him furious, feeling that he had lost face, and he couldn't hit it with a blow, and the angry sea was monstrous, so he sent down a divine thunder bombardment, but these thunderbolts were all introduced to the earth by the big array. Later, Kyrios came up with various ways to destroy the alchemy city. Agnes' small mouth was like a machine gun, her eyes were misty, and she recounted the words of the book with great devotion.
"He first used the fire attack, the temperature was high enough to melt the hardest metal in the world, but it couldn't melt this strange rune, and after the fire burned out, the walls were still brand new, like new masonry."
Later, he flooded again, and the whole sky became a country of water, but not the slightest flood could flow into the city of Il. Later, he used gold and stone and earth to attack, and it can be said that he used everything to the extreme, but the city of Il was still impregnable, and in the siege battle, the invincible catapults and crossbows were all defeated here, and in the end, Kyrios had to give up, and ordered a retreat. The angry god of destruction had nowhere to vent his anger, so he angrily struck the strongest blow not far in front of the alchemy city, so as to vent the monstrous resentment in his heart. The result is this azure lake at the foot of the mountain, which is now the Lake of the Gods, Lake Kyrios. With a look of longing on Aini's face, her thoughts seemed to return to the time when the gods were reincarnated, and she saw the scene of Kyrios attacking Alchemy City.
Ilan was also fascinated, listening quietly, and fell into the magnificent glorious years, but he lost his mind, looking stupid and stupid.
In the end, though, the God of Destruction succeeded. Here's how it happened, Kyrios was so ambitious that he wanted to dominate the entire Divine Domain, so he couldn't let go of his thirst for power. Since there was no way to force the destruction, Kyrios was unexpectedly outwitted, and the plan was almost seamless. After much deliberation and planning, finally, one day he began to act, through guò fifteen years of lurking, and finally in the study of Glasgow Levin, the great alchemy master of Il City, he found the record of the eternal rune, and I don't know whether it was collected or destroyed by him, in short, eternal love fell into the hands of Kirios. Alchemists have tried to complete the runes of Eternal Love, but until now, people have not been able to replicate them in 10,000. ”
"It's fascinating!" Ilan looked at the golden city wall, and the regret in his heart was self-evident, but the donkey's head was not right for the horse's mouth, and he was obviously distracted at a critical moment.
"Die Yilan, people are kind enough to introduce you, you are still distracted, I am really angry. I'll never pay attention to you again, huh. The little girl Agnes pursed her lips, looking like the princess was very angry and things were very strict.
"Okay, my princess, I know it's wrong, Aini, I apologize, can't I apologize?" Yilan hurriedly lowered his posture, looking distressed and sincerely admitting his mistakes.
Seeing that Agnes still had a cold and cool face, and no one was allowed to enter, Ilan knew that she hadn't gotten along with it yet, and she hadn't forgiven herself.
So, he hurriedly handed over good words, strengthened the offensive, and prepared to continue to chase and fight Lilly to accompany him, and finally said something bad, and finally made the savage princess laugh before stopping.
