Chapter 510: Don't Approach
Naturally, the fact that Raciman's flagship "Bolatini" turned at sea could not escape the eyes of the offshore ships of the Karen Kingdom, but without waiting for the news to reach the royal family, Houdini had already given a justified reason for his visit under the banner of "visiting friends" by Merinthra-since sooner or later it would be discovered, there was no need to hide it, which Houdini knew very well.
And Charles II, who got the news two days later, was naturally unhappy, but he was obviously not so politically wise that he would not scold him for this: politically speaking, the Rasiman Kingdom does not need to report anything to him, and saying this at this time just shows that the other party still cares about the royal family. After all, in terms of strength, the Rasiman Kingdom really doesn't have to be afraid of Karen... Because Charles II did not even have a fleet under him to attack across the ocean.
"Tell me, why did they suddenly name Elson?"
Charles II, who raised his eyes from the letter, frowned slightly, stared at the royal magician Gary in front of him and asked, "A ruined city buried in the forest, worth his special trip?"
"Your Majesty... This must be because of the things left by the high elves that made them curious. For example, broken circles, buildings, etc., but to be honest, these things don't have much value. β
Gary didn't know the reason, although the news of the "artificial rain in the floating tower" was shocking, but the spies who infiltrated the royal family in Elsenri would not have thought of it at all... Their letters were either intercepted by Camilla or directly tampered with, so at this time the news only spread in a small area within the Evta, but did not enter the royal intelligence system at all - those spies thought that they had reported the news, but they thought that these messages were all tampered with and wrong.
So at this moment, Charles II and a group of royal magicians still have a understanding of "Elson" at the stage of "abandoned city", and I have to say that Camilla's "intelligence shielding" work is really hard work.
"What is the value of what the ancient civilization left behind? I guess that Houdini is going to make another pit before leaving..."
Charles II is not a mage, so after listening to Gary's opinion, he made such a conclusion - in fact, his thoughts are the same as most people, no one knows how sensitive this group of mages from foreign countries is to "magic news", if the news of "artificial rain" appears in the Rasiman Kingdom, I am afraid that the public opinion of the whole country will have exploded at this time, where will it be like the magic world of Karen at this time?
"Alright, you step back first, go and start studying those circles after the handover task is completed, and digest these things as soon as possible. β
Speaking of the fruits of this state visit, Charles II had changed his mind after the initial pains, and now he felt that the business was worth it - and in such a good mood, he was finally interested in turning his gaze to the red line of Evrta on the map...
"Laman, go and call Mirno for a visit, and I'll see him in the afternoon. β
Charles II casually commanded, and his mind was thinking about the orcs. He was well aware of the fact that "the orcs were about to invade", but in his eyes, this was not a matter of the fall of the sky, but an opportunity...
Since Ivota wanted to close himself off, Charles II was naturally happy to let them stand in front as cannon fodder.
"Orcs don't know how to negotiate, and children still don't know what they're up against. β
He muttered, and had even seen Evta being overrun by the orcs and reclaimed by his own armyβthe time had come to reunite the kingdom, and it was time to arrange his own troops.
"Report, report to the city lord, the loading operation of the No. 53 floating tower has been completed, waiting... Uh, waiting to be reloaded!"
It wasn't a soldier in armor who spoke, but a mage in his thirties, dressed in a robe, Lem. He was a member of the "Academy of Magic" in Elson City some time ago, and although his magical attainments were ordinary, he was extremely talented in "magic circle testing", so he was selected to participate in this "experiment" in front of Roddy at this time.
Lem didn't usually stutter, but now he had a little cry in his every word, as he was standing on the tallest central floating tower in Elson.
Lem's robes were hunted by the wind at an altitude of more than 400 meters, and Evta in April had no spring chill, so although the wind was strong at this time, the temperature was still reasonable - and in front of him, Roddy was looking down at the so-called "No. 53" test object, unaware of the magnificent scenery in front of him and behind him.
After all, he'd climbed a number of high-rise buildings, and the sights of things like the CCTV Tower and the Tokyo Skytree were already superfluous for Roddy - but the rest of the world rarely had the experience of looking down on the earth from a height of 400 meters. At this moment, the city of Elson and the forest are in full view, and even the edge of the forest in the distance, the empty fields, and even the corners of the gondola and the Nahemian savannah... Lem didn't think he had a fear of heights before, but now his legs were still shaking uncontrollably...
His own virtue, and compared with Luo Di's calm look, he was really unconvinced.
"Don't be nervous, come on, look down and check these things. There should be more than ten minutes left. β
The words "Experimental Device 53 Ready" floating in front of Roddy's eyes have been replaced by the words "Ready to be loaded". This thing sounds like some kind of cannon weapon, but in fact, the "No. 53" does not have a long barrel, but a swirl-shaped circular formation plate - it is half a meter thick and two meters in diameter, and it is perfectly embedded in the card slot reserved for the floating tower. The surface of the typhoon cloud is full of uneven magic lines, and in the center is a round hole with a diameter of 20 cm for "filling".
The "ammunition" was placed next to Roddy's feet, and it looked like a simple crystalline sphere.
The surface of the floating tower is a standard circle, about thirty meters in diameter, and there are no guardrails around it, which always reminds Roddy of the top temple of the Garin Senta in Dragon Ball. However, the ground here is not flat, but full of grooves and magic patterns, revealing a complex and obscure arcane beauty.
"Lord of the castle and the castle, the inspection is over, it's over. β
Lem struggled to focus on the runes at his feet, his voice still stuttering.
"Oh, wait, according to the scheduled schedule, the signal should come in a few minutes. β
Roddy's hair was a little messy with the wind, so he simply turned around and sat down against the wind, his legs stretched out from the edge of the floating tower, and he was a little distracted with the pocket watch in his hand.
This kind of posture made Lem feel a little weak all over, you must know that the ground under Roddy's feet is four hundred meters away from him, even if it is a free fall, it will take a long time, but this city lord seems to be in... Doze?
"Lord of the city, the lord of the city?"
"Huh?"
Luo Di is indeed sleepy, after all, in addition to practicing archery, there is also spell training, these days I encountered a spell problem, and it took two nights to solve it, and my spirit is naturally not very good.
"This... There seems to be a signal in the distance. β
Roddy looked at the southwest side of Ivota and saw a puff of white smoke rising from the edge of the forest more than thirty kilometers away, so he lowered his head and confirmed his pocket watch and said, "Okay, the personnel have been evacuated to a safe position, let's be ready in five minutes, test it with calibration shells first, and then change to live ammunition." β
"Yes, Lord Castle. β
Lem trembled and prepared to reload, but heard Roddido ask: "By the way, I remember telling them that I was going to set up a magic guard guard nearby, and your research department was involved in this, didn't you forget?"
"No, no, this is all done according to what the city lord said. β
"Oh, that's fine, get ready. β
Roddy waved his hand, turned his head to look into the distance and continued to be in a daze.
In the city of Elson below, Camilla looked up at the floating tower at the top, folded up the letter signed by Roddy himself, and muttered casually: "I can't even sleep when I'm busy experimenting, alas..."
"Wait a minute!"
In fact, without this warning, the advancing convoy of Rasiman envoys would also slow down due to a sharp whistle sounding in front of them.
Houdini frowned and stepped out of one of the carriages, and with a wave of his hand, shattered the source of the sound - with a crisp "click", the magical guard post placed at the front of the road was directly removed. With a wave of his hand, the rudimentary fragments of the stone slab of the magic circle floated in the air, and Houdini reached out to take it and looked at it, muttering, "Why is the technique so rough?"
On the way here, he had already seen the floating tower floating above the entire forest, a height that even Rasiman could not do - the capital of the Magical Council of the Capital was only one hundred and seventy meters high, and it had to be on the ground at all times of war to reduce energy consumption.
But the clumsy level of magic guard in front of him made him wonder, a city that can "artificially rain" and build a four-hundred-meter floating tower can be filled with this kind of rotten goods, no matter how you look at it?
Originally, he thought that this might be something from other forces, but after seeing the words "Elson City Magic Research Institute" written on the other fragment, Houdini's doubts became more and more serious...
"My lord, do you need to move on?"
"This sentry is probably only used to scare the monsters, so leave it alone and let's move on. β
Houdini didn't think much of it, but he didn't try to put together the other pieces on the ground - if he had patience, he would have seen the following words written on them:
"Magic Test Area" and "Do Not Approach".
Working for a week, to be honest, it's still quite tiring, because every day to and from work 75KM back and forth, whether it's taking the subway or driving or riding a motorcycle, I basically don't have the strength to do anything else when I get home. In the future, the number of each update will be increased on the basis of weekly updates.,The plot has been thought out for a long time.,Now it's the stage of constantly filling in the content.,So I'm worried about eunuchs or something.γ
