The obelisk is indeed quite a spectacular piece of architecture. Pure black and heavy, not like a rock or metal, the structure of the giant is integrated, and the appearance of floating in the air without any support is impressive. This scene couldn't help but remind him of ......

"It's a lot like the black stone tablet from 2001: A Space Odyssey."

Miss Real Name commented.

It turns out that hundreds of years later, AI will still watch Kubrick's movies, and Richard is surprised by this.

……

The base station, or the public mobile communication base station, is the interface equipment for mobile devices to access the Internet, and it is a transceiver station that can transmit information between mobile terminals in a certain radio coverage area. Although it is not clear to what extent the base station of the future world has reached, its operational efficiency is naturally more powerful than that of ordinary "terminals" - a single individual or magic book.

"That's the obelisk."

Silky Ward, who was walking in front, said with a smile.

"It looks so pretty."

Richard did not answer, but was secretly vigilant in his heart.

Was the witch instructed by her teacher to find out why Raspuchin longed for the obelisk?

Needless to say, Richard is naturally full of distrust of Poeti Miller, who chose to break away from the Black Blood Society and come to his own school, not to mention that the other party still has a chance to peek into his true prophet. The two phases are superimposed, and Richard now feels a headache almost as soon as he sees each other. However, the witch's actions often do not go his way, and she finds an excuse to appear in front of her almost every day......

As for the kindness of "Raspuchin" who saved her twice, including himself, Richard felt that it was better not to take it to heart. On the one hand, he didn't know what the other party thought of him in his heart, after all, she was a wizard, and "Knowing Grace and Reward" was a rather rare virtue for this group; On the other hand, even if Poetic herself has no ill will towards herself, or even has a good impression of herself, Longman Hall behind her is an object that must not let her guard down.

Richard had seen his fierce expression when he was angry at a fireside meeting, not at all like a wizard who had spent years in libraries and laboratories, but more like a crazy gangster, a bloodthirsty outlaw.

"Teacher, he never took out the obelisk, and I didn't even know he had it in his hand. In this regard, Lord Rasputin is more generous than he is, and is willing to give the people on the tower a chance to see the real thing. ”

Apparently accustomed to Raspuchin's coldness, Silky continued to half-jokingly

It's not like I'm being generous. This kind of good thing everyone will instinctively choose to hide. Just consider the question of the utility of the device...... Richard didn't know if the other wizards knew how the obelisk worked, at least not in Rasputin's authority.

But Richard was different, after understanding the nature of the obelisk, he immediately tried to find out the operation mode and efficiency of this base station with Miss Real Name. Then, Richard found that the Obelisk's efficiency was still related to distance, and its coverage was still limited. With the help of his real name, he worked out the angle and position where he would maximize his power.

In the end, he had no choice but to use his authority as the leader of the wizards to find a way to make the obelisk stand tall in the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the tower, so that, according to the New World, the "magic" projected from within the obelisk could envelop the area he was trying to interfere with.

There are clearly risks associated with this move. There is no way to keep an object that is placed in the outside world from the prying eyes of others. However, if Richard can successfully "medium" the obelisk, relying on the power of the Enchanted Spirit Lord will be enough to protect the area.

......

Unlike what he was worried about, the other party just mentioned it casually and didn't delve into it.

Soon, they came to the residential area.

It's a deserted place with a small footprint, but a beautiful environment. Turquoise forests, secluded lakes, artistic fountains and marble sculptures can be found everywhere, and the flower-filled garden in the center is everywhere. The flowers in the garden are in full bloom all year round, and the trees and grass are full of colorful flowers. For wizards in the realm of life, it couldn't be easier to do this kind of thing.

The atmosphere of the residential area is incompatible with the top floor of the Magic Tower, and only high-level members of a certain status can live here; Wizards in general have no choice but to live in rooms in the residence, just like Richard once did. Moreover, the size, location, and lighting of the room are closely related to the position of the wizard, and are part of the strict hierarchy of the tower.

Of course, as is customary, the five wizarding leaders are certainly not included in these complicated rules. Even if they wanted to settle in the witches' dormitory, I am afraid that no one would dare to object.

……

The residence for entertaining guests is a mansion located above the water. Surrounded by white walls, green water, and red flowers. The mansion is led by a pontoon bridge that spans the tranquil waters of the river, covered with green vines and weaving leaves. What's even more amazing is that the mansion is only surrounded by a low wall nearby, but the main body "grows" on a tree.

"This is a place to stay especially for guests like him. Due to their hobbies in terms of ethnic customs, they prefer places close to nature. ”

Race?

Richard was puzzled by Richard's words, but he soon understood what it meant, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of anticipation in his heart. I heard the witch continue.

"This man served as a bodyguard for Count Matz, a stalwart member of the new aristocracy in the south of the Rhine Kingdom, and was once one of the leaders of the Templar Order. His name is Cummins Morningstar. ”

Poetry's words were the first to be heard.

"It's an elven from the New World."

...... Really.

The elves are one of the few intelligent races that exist in the Mayan world other than humans, living in the New World separated by oceans.

They have a physique that humans have more affinity for magic, and have a longer lifespan than ordinary humans; At the same time, he is also known for his excellent appearance, and the members of the ethnic group are all handsome men and beautiful women, and are often the embodiment of beauty in the writings of writers. They are lovers and guardians of art and nature. Elves love nature, have delicate emotions, beautiful voices and melodies, and are natural poets and dancers.

Since the beginning of the Age of Discovery, the elves living in the isolated New World have been in frequent contact with the main Mayan continent. For the first time, the people of the Black Iron Age have seen the true face of a beautiful race that once only loomed in legends. On the other hand, however, the conflict between the two intelligent races has surfaced. The vast majority of elves don't have a good impression of what they see as dirty and greedy humans.

On the one hand, it was due to the slave trade that prevailed between the New World and the Main World. The elves with good looks and alien attraction are often sought after by the high society of various countries, so they become a coveted commodity in the eyes of privateers, pirates and slave traders - although this is theoretically illegal, but the interests drive fanatical people's hearts, and the resulting conflicts are not rare, and the elves will not excuse the aliens who commit such an extremely heinous crime as trafficking in their compatriots;

On the other hand, even before the slave trade prevailed, the relationship between the elves and humans was not friendly. They consider themselves to be the darlings of nature, inherently nobler than other races, and therefore have a natural hostility to the "savage humans" who rely on the number of their races to dominate the world.

Compared with the dwarfs who live underground and live in isolation, and the orcs who have to live in the northern corner of the continent due to the harsh cold winter and the endless ice fields, the elves can be called prosperous in their development and can be called prosperous, but due to the low birth rate, they are still incomparable with humans in all corners of the world.

All in all, the relationship between the elves and humans is basically cold and even hostile.

However, regardless of the era and region, there will always be a few exceptions. They don't care about ethnic differences, they don't mind historical disputes, and they are willing to interact with other races with good intentions and enthusiasm.

Richard's upcoming meeting is one of them.

……

When you come to the pontoon bridge on the lake, you will be greeted by a lush forest. On one side of the forest, there were intertwined and stacked green shadows, more like vines than the roots of trees, with an unusually thick body like a bucket, entrenched above the shallow water.

Shaded by creepers and vines, it forms a simple wooden hut that looks like a fruit that grows naturally. As Poeti said, this "born" house has a bit of a taste of being close to nature.

"Elf, ......"

The elves in the Mayan world are actually similar to the "long-eared race" that Richard often saw in fantasy novels in the past in the book, and he doesn't know if this is just some kind of coincidence.

Since that day, Richard has always been full of curiosity about the intelligent races that exist in the Mayan world other than humans, and he quietly glanced to the side, only to see the black-haired girl staring intently in the direction of the treehouse, with an expression of seriousness that had never been seen before.

...... He felt that Miss Real Name should have the same thoughts as him on this point.

As a human being from the distant past, from an old world country that has long been forgotten in the long river of history, Richard inevitably feels mixed feelings whenever he encounters a similar familiar and unfamiliar situation.

What exactly is an elf? An alien, an otherworldly, or ...... Is it a creation left behind by ancient humans?
