720 Ancient City, Fortified City 7
One dark night, the blue moon hung high, and Emmonris flew into the sky with the weak witch, approaching the blue moon with all her might. However, just as Faretan was trying his best to collect and record the changes in the Blue Moon, a great change suddenly happened.
The huge blue moon suddenly began to collapse, becoming smaller and smaller, and the blue light it emitted also suddenly dimmed, and the entire Shangsean Ancestor became pitch black in an instant.
However, that's not all.
Because of the Blue Moon, which is the Ancient Orb "Miphagne. Ottotton", in this vast alien space, there are many terrible "time disorder zones". In such areas, time passes extremely fast or slowly, producing unpredictable effects.
The zone of temporal disorder is not only on the ground, but also in the sky. Faletan, who had suffered in the Time Disorder Zone, when he went to investigate the changes in the Blue Moon, of course he would find out in advance those places in the air that he could not go.
But on that night, because of the sudden change of the Blue Moon, the entire time disorder area in the Upper Seranzu region also changed dramatically. Originally, the scope of this area has always been fixed, so as long as it is detected in advance, it will not be accidentally entered and cause unpredictable consequences.
However, due to the changes in the Blue Moon, the time disorder areas that were formed because of the Blue Moon also became unstable, and their range began to shrink or expand randomly, which caught both Emmones and Faretan off guard and were in a hurry.
Eventually, in the process of evading, Emmonres accidentally strayed into the edge of a time disorder zone. Although it only stayed in it for more than a second, it also caused very strict consequences.
"The Witch of the Silver Moon continued to age faster because of this, and half of her body could be said to be an old man in her twilight years. Now, it has become a terminally ill near-death state. Emmonry's tone was a little helpless. He said. the dragon's tail behind him and show it to Gordon.
The mage sees. The ends of his tail seemed to be much shriveled and thinner than before, and the scales were dull and dull, with faint markings. In some places, the scales are starting to fall off.
"I just swept my tail through a 'temporal zone' and it became like this. You know, our dragons are much stronger than humans, and they live longer......"
That's why Gordon sees Faretan in a much worse condition today than it was when they were apart.
However. The impact of the Blue Moon's changes on the White Dragons and Witches was only a fraction of the impact it had on the entire Upper Seranzu.
Because this land has a great deal of dù on it, it is because of the preservation of the ancient treasure beads, that it can be maintained. Therefore, when the energy of the Ancient Orb hanging high in the sky converged and collapsed, the illusory city on the earth disappeared, and the time disorder zone that existed because of the power of the orb finally disappeared after a violent change. The whole earth began to fall apart because it had lost the strength to hold it together. Eventually, it became a floating piece of land.
The most important thing is that the two Akhorsia legions that had fallen asleep because of the power of the Eternal Orb also woke up.
After a brief period of confusion, the two sides organized again. The battle began. Now the army of the Golden Dragon Loloados and the army of the Red Dragon Titanis, each occupying dozens of pieces of land, are in a confrontation.
However, not long ago, the Red Dragon Titanis, in order to prevent Iron Hoof Barral, destroyed the spatial barrier between Upper Seranzu and the world below. He led his army to fight that demon and suffered a lot of losses. And the golden dragon Loloados took the opportunity to attack, and now he has the upper hand for the time being.
For the grudge between these two legions. Gordon didn't think much of it either. As long as the Red Dragon Titanis, don't wipe out the Golden Dragon side too quickly. And according to the current shape, this development trend is obviously unlikely.
"Floating City......" Gordon thought about what he cared about most.
The Ancient Orb is too far away, too ethereal, and the floating city left behind in the Nether era is the most practical and accessible treasure.
But when Gordon raised his head, opened his eyes of truth and warning, and looked in a familiar direction, he found no trace of the city.
There is only blue, a blue that is boundless and completely impenetrable......
This is definitely not good news. Gordon knew that the disappearance of the Floating City might also have something to do with the change of the blue moon. But there was nothing he could do about it at this point, and the only thing he could do was wait for Pharetan and Triss to finish their work.
Trissy's treatment of Faretan lasted three days and three nights. During this time, in addition to continuing to study spells every day, meditating, and exploring new uses for arcane gems, Gordon also carried out some other actions.
He tried to find the legion of the Golden Dragon Loloados, and make contact with the Bahamuts of 10,000 years ago. Who knew that the Red Dragon's legion was separated from the place where the witch's hut was located, and between the Golden Dragon Loloados. Gordon knew he couldn't have seen the Golden Dragon through his legion garrison under the scouting eye of countless Wyvern Knights, Dragonborn Sentinels, and real dragons.
Fortunately, Faritan's treatment was finally completed in time, so that Gao Gao would not wait too long and have nothing to do.
When the Silvermoon Witch reappeared in front of everyone, she had completely regained her original vitality and beauty - well, no illusions.
"Congratulations, Miss Faretan." Gordon nodded to her.
"Thanks to your help, Mr. Mage." The witch also reciprocated with a sincere smile.
Although Faretan's body had been cured, Triss had become very weak. In these days of treatment, it is equivalent to transporting her life source energy to Faritan, and the consumption is not small.
However, the red-haired witch has her own witcher lover to take care of, so there is no need to worry. Gordon was more concerned about the floating city that suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that Gordon looked like he had something to say, Fallan said, "Mage, I know what you're thinking. Follow me. ”
The two of them came to the second floor of the witch's cabin. Gordon hadn't been here before, looking at the decorations around him. This is supposed to be a warehouse for witches to store all kinds of valuables.
Faretan looked at Gordon, his eyes as bright as the full moon sparkling. She smiled and said, "Mr. Freeman, you have done your duty. Then according to our previous agreement, it is time for me to fulfill my promise. ”
After his body regained his life, Faretan seemed to be in a good mood, and he kept a shallow smile of pleasure on his face. She casually found a chair and sat down, and said, "I'm afraid you've noticed that the floating city in the sky seems to have disappeared." ”
Gordon nodded, but did not speak. Wait for Faretan to continue.
The Silver Moon Witch said, "Actually, the Floating City has not disappeared, it is still in this space. It's just that the floating city has been blocked by an extremely powerful energy barrier, and it is no longer possible to detect it by ordinary means of observation. ”
Isn't it true that the Eye of Warning can't either?
Gordon thought about it and was relieved. After all, the object of truth and warning eye is not omnipotent. It's just a Legendary-level item, and it's still in an incomplete state. This trip to the abyss, another purpose of Gordon. It is to enter the Floating City, find what was left behind by the previous Grand Arcanist City Lord, and completely perfect your Truth and Warning Eye.
Then, the Witch of the Silver Moon sued Sù Gordon. The reason for this qiē change was because the Eternal Orb suddenly began to converge in energy. Those visions of the past, the slumber of the dragonborn warriors. There is also the existence of the time disorder zone, all because the energy of the Ten Thousand Ancient Orbs is released outward without restraint. impact.
But because of a certain opportunity, the ancient orb hanging high above the sky. It seems that it has suddenly "awakened", and all the energy originally released from the outside world has begun to be recycled, so the qiē effect it has caused to the outside world has disappeared one by one. Moreover, this Eternal Orb is an indestructible energy barrier on the periphery in order to protect itself. Unfortunately, the floating city in the sky happened to be within the range of the energy barrier.
At this time, night gradually fell, and the sound of everyone talking downstairs was also heard.
"What the hell is going on, you can see it when you go and see it." Faretan pointed to the door that led to the balcony and said to Gordon.
The mage walked over, opened the door, and walked to the balcony on the second floor, where a blue light suddenly came into view.
He had thought that after the Ancient Orb reined in his energy, the blue moon would also disappear, and the night of Shangser Anzu would become completely dark and lightless. But now, it seems, Gordon was wrong. The deep blue light that illuminated the whole night did not disappear, but became brighter and brighter.
And the source of this blue light is not the blue moon that originally hung high in the air but has now disappeared, but an incredibly large olive-shaped ball of light.
While Gordon was concentrating on observing the night sky, Faretan walked up to him at some point, "See, mage, the big thing hanging over our heads now is the energy barrier formed by the Eternal Orb.
"It's weird. The space of Shangseanzu has maintained its status quo for tens of thousands of years, and there has been no change. Why did the Ancient Orb suddenly shrink in energy? ”
Faretan glanced at Gordon and smiled: "Mr. Mage, this question has to be asked to yourself. ”
"Me?"
"It is precisely because of your appearance that you broke the balance that led to the change of that eternal orb."
The witch's words made Gordon feel a little inexplicable, but he still listened to the other party's careful explanation.
Now the reason why the two worlds of Upper Seranzu and Lower Seranzu coexist, and escaped into another dimension, and the reason why the two dragonborn legions have been sleeping for 10,000 years is that when the Red Dragon Titanius used the Ten Thousand Ancient Orb, he accidentally caused the orb energy to run wild.
However, this is only one of the main reasons, and among the many causes of this qiē, there is also the existence of the mysterious gem. It is precisely because of the freezing power of the arcane gem "Gray Frost" that it has played a stabilizing role, allowing the qiē to remain in a relatively static state for a very long time.
But Gordon has taken away the mystical gem in the Tower of Eternity, which is one with Emmonris, and this static equilibrium has been broken, so unpredictable changes will naturally occur.
Although this was only Faletan's own inference, given that the witch had been in the Upper Seranzu for so long and had studied the space quite deeply, her words were most likely credible.
"Well, so to speak. I also became the little butterfly that changed history with a flap of its wings......" Gordon shrugged.
Now that we know what happened, the next step is to continue to go straight to our goal.
"Now that's how it is. So is it possible for us to reach that floating city? ”
"Of course it's possible. And it's simpler than before. Faretan said confidently, "There are no more weird and deadly temporal zones. We're going to have a lot less trouble. That energy barrier is indeed impregnable, but there is no way to stop us. ”
"Lady Faletan, your confidence seems to be abundant."
"Of course, I'm like I've been reborn now, and I'm full of energy."
Well, if a dying old man suddenly rejuvenates and regains his youth, then it is natural to have a sense of self-confidence that "Lao Tzu is already invincible in the world". But Gordon hoped that Faletan's confidence was not blind.
"Don't worry. Mage. Although we witches are not as rational and objective as you, we are not crazy women full of nonsense. Faretan smiled and pulled out a wooden box that was quite old from the large cabinet next to him.
When Gordon saw the witch open the cabinet, he unlocked a dozen magic seals in one go. What is stored in such a well-guarded cabinet must be unusual.
Gordon thought that the exquisite wooden box would hold some ancient and mysterious artifact treasures, but as soon as he opened it, a white ball popped out of it.
On closer inspection, Gordon realized that it was a round elf creature. Its limbs are short and thick, and its neck is barely visible. It's like a round head about the size of a body, just attached to an equally round body.
Most of the elven creatures will choose a more eye-catching, aesthetic appearance in the process of evolution. For example, the ice fairies led by Ainia are almost all cute little beauties. But the creature that popped out of the wooden box in front of Gordon's eyes. But it's not pretty at all.
"What's this little thing? Gordon asked.
"Little things? Hey, big man, how do you know my name? ”
…………
Gordon was speechless. I didn't expect him to be a pronoun casually. It's really this guy's name.
"It's our key to Floating City." Faretan said.
The Silvermoon Witch had also been to the Floating City before. The witch's cabin where Gordon and his party are now located and the floating island that houses the hut were the witch Faletan's removal of various materials from the floating city. made of zuò. And that strange spirit creature is the last harvest of Faletan's exploration of the Floating City.
Because in the process of another exploration after she got this round little guy. Unfortunately, he was caught up in the time disorder zone.
"Keys?" Gordon looked carefully at the little guy named "Little One".
"Or according to the Nethers, it is the 'Jeresifador' of that floating city."
The pronunciation of this nether word is somewhat complicated and awkward, as it is an arcane term coined with multiple meanings. If it were to be translated in the language of the earth that Gordon could easily understand and understand, it would be artificial intelligence.
In the era of the Magic Empire of Netherduran, every mage who has been promoted to the Legendary Realm and obtained the title of Grand Arcanist can have a floating city of their own. It is the home of the Grand Arcanist, the independent kingdom of the Grand Arcanist, the unbreakable fortress of the Grand Arcanist, and the ultimate place for the Grand Arcanist to conduct magical research.
A place so important, huge, and so versatile can be very difficult to manage.
In the early days of the Magic Empire, Grand Arcanists tended to have their right-hand men, their best students, or family members, or even slaves or pets to help manage the Floating City.
However, the Grand Arcanists later discovered that there were many drawbacks to doing so. When it comes to choosing the administrator of the floating city, it is difficult for them to strike a balance between competence and loyalty. A place as important as the life of a Grand Arcanist, Floating City, naturally couldn't be managed by someone they didn't trust. But people who can be fully trusted are not necessarily capable of managing such a complex and large matter.
Arcanists themselves are often burdened with a lot of things, and it is difficult for them to spend too much energy on running the Floating City in every detail.
Later, the second emperor of the Magic Empire of Netherland, known as the "Soul Hand". Theola, in collaboration with two other equally great Grand Arcanist Lords, invented a legendary spell called "City Spirit".
Since the floating city is so difficult to manage, why don't you let the city manage itself, and the problem will be solved?
It was such a sudden, seemingly naïve idea that gave birth to the "City Spirit", which is arguably the most widely used legendary spell in the Magic Empire.
As the name suggests, this spell can give a floating city a soul and intelligence, giving it a life of its own.
Of course, this is not a life form in the usual sense, but rather a hub that powers the Floating City like an artificial intelligence to assist the Grand Arcanist in managing the entire city.
"Heteras. Osht's taste is truly special......," Gordon remembered the name of the owner of the floating city that the god of knowledge had told him.
"Hey, big man, I didn't expect you to be quite sensible. My master Hytrus. Seeker and guardian of mysteries. Osht, indeed, has the finest, most elegant, and most unique taste in the entire empire. The round spirit creature said as it jumped.
It seems that the artificial intelligence of this floating city can't help but be weird, and it is very good at sycophancy. (To be continued......)
