Chapter 243: Advent
"Debriefing. "The deep sea is supposed to be calm, but now it is in a state as turbulent as Poseidon's mood.
The deep sea of the Aode continent is not dim, whether it is the fluorescent corals, or the seaweed that accompanies them, including some small fish with Warcraft qualifications, they are all unique scenery here, and they are beautifully dotted here.
The dark blue spatial rift is inconspicuous, but it won't be ignored by anyone. The width of the rift was not even half a meter at this time, but the pulsations that came out of it caused the sea water in the entire sea area to vibrate at the same frequency, as if a deep-sea beast was once imprisoned inside, and at this time, it ...... It woke up.
"Wang, the concentration of the blue element in the rift has increased by nearly fifty percent compared to when the problem first appeared, and this part of the extra element is in contact with our usual ...... Something different. An old merfolk mage replied, "More than thirty percent of the mid-level casters have already had a slight elemental erosion reaction, and although the high-level casters have not yet shown any abnormalities, it is only a matter of time before they continue. ”
"What happened to the eroded children?"
"This ...... And they're still holding on. ”
"Bastard, didn't I tell you that if anyone is eroded, let them retreat as soon as possible?" Hearing the old mage's answer, Poseidon was furious, these mid-level spellcasters were the future of the Sea Clan, "You know what it is? That's the erosion of the 'illusory elemental'! If those children don't retreat, they will be pulled into the phantom abyss!"
"I know what you say, king, but ...... But we can't help it, if we remove them, we won't be able to continue to suppress the expansion of the spatial rift. The old mage felt helpless, he didn't know that these middle-level spellcasters were the hope of the Sea Clan, but he also understood that if he couldn't survive this hurdle, the Sea Clan would ...... There is no future.
"Huh, tell me honestly, if we continue like this, how long can we last?" The king of the Sea Clan looked worried, he knew that this would not work, but he couldn't think of a better way for a while, so he could only quench his thirst by drinking like this.
"I can hold it, but I ......" The old mage hesitated, not knowing whether to tell the truth.
"What are you talking about, can I still be angry with you!?" Poseidon's forehead was bruised, the old mage in front of him had no problem in terms of strength or loyalty to the Sea Clan, and he did what he ordered to go down neatly, but he didn't know why he always thought too much and talked forward, especially at this time, it was even more anxious.
"Ahem...... If it is only supported as it is now, it will last for at least three months. The old mage first gave Poseidon a result that relieved him, but it was clear that there was more, "The situation in the rift has gradually calmed down, but if we don't close it for a day, all we can do is continue to hold on like this, and the people will continue to be eroded by the 'illusory element'." ”
"Then, if there is anything else you haven't said, if that's all there is to it, you won't hesitate just now. ”
"Sea King Mingjian, there is indeed a way to last a little longer, but the symbol of royal power in your hands, I am afraid that it will be damaged to a certain extent. "If this is placed in the human kingdom, the normal reaction of the old mage after saying this sentence should be to wipe a cold sweat, but for the sea clan, sweating...... Inexistent.
"Take it. Without saying a word, Poseidon directly threw the trident in his hand to the old mage without the slightest hesitation. For the Sea King, no matter how precious the trident in his hand is, it can't compare to the lives of his clansmen, "With this, how long can it last before the children are irretrievably eroded?"
"King, with your royal power to filter the 'illusory element', it should be fine within half a year...... No, there will never be a problem!" replied the old mage, "by the way, King, Braken has been looking for you these days. ”
Not only can't I look at the little girl, but I actually mess around with her. ”
"However, he seems to have brought back the words of His Majesty Cuiwa. ”
"What!? that idiot...... Why didn't you say it earlier!"
......
It was early afternoon, and Grand was lying on a bench in the backyard of the cottage, watching the two children play in the grass. Today was a day of rest, and instead of wearing the robe that symbolized his status as a middle-level spellcaster, nor did he hold an obscure magic book in his hand to read hard, Gran just wanted to bask in the sun and spend time with his family.
Grand is just one of the many mid-level spellcasters in the Sky Tower, and he usually works as a librarian, and he can use his position to read library books at a smaller cost, thus accumulating knowledge that surpasses that of his peers. It's just that he has always been lazy, and he only stores this knowledge in his mind, and has not studied how to use it in depth.
"Grand, haven't you forgotten what happened this afternoon?" said the wife, who came out of the hut into the courtyard, mischievously pinched Grand's nose and said with a chuckle.
"How could you forget?" said Grand, smiling equally happily, "but it's still early, so let me lie down a little longer." ”
The two children who were playing in the yard had just started trying to meditate last month, but they were both unexpectedly gifted, and Grande managed to find a friend and put the two little ones to a test on their qualifications, and it was this afternoon.
In the Aode Continent, people with spell cultivation qualifications can be said to be one in a hundred, even if both parents are spellcasters, it is possible that the heirs have no elemental affinity at all. Like the Grands, it is even rarer for twins to meditate smoothly, and this month has become the happiest time for the family.
"Daddy, what's the cloud?" asked Patty, innocently, running to the chaise longue at some point, interrupting her parents' communication, staring at her big sparkling eyes. Compared with this lively little girl, Pala, who is an older sister, is a little introverted, and is tugging at the corner of her sister's clothes at this time, but her eyes are also full of curiosity.
"Cloudy? It's clouds...... What is that!?" Grande looked at the sky in horror, and a huge city was suspended in the air, slowly descending, and according to this momentum, it was estimated that it would be two or three minutes before it touched the top of the tower in the center of the city.
"Aveline, has your teacher said anything lately?" Grand's tone was like a dream, and his first reaction was to ask his wife. Although Evelyn only has the strength of a second-order high-level, her teacher is Avinia, who is ranked ninth in the "Tower Council", and a sixth-order junior archmage known as the "Silent Night Lady".
"No...... I don't know, the teacher didn't say anything, it's ......" Aveline was also at a loss, the "Sky Tower" was built for thousands of years, and this kind of thing has never happened. On the surface, the behavior of this "Heavenly City" can be called an invasion, but the defensive circle of the "Sky Tower" has no reaction at this time.
"Patty, Pala, you two go back to the house, Aveline, and find a way to contact the 'Silent Night Lady', and if you can, ask what the situation is. As the head of the family, Grand's response was decent, but his first reaction in the midst of upheaval was enough to reflect his composure as a mid-level spellcaster.
"No, I used the teleportation spell to contact the teacher just now, and I didn't get any response at all. ”
"Then take a trip to the 'Sky Tower' yourself, and use your 'Shadow Technique' to be very fast. Grang's heart was a little heavy, he was the caster of the "Sky Tower", and he had been protected by this organization known as the "Holy Land of Spellcasters" for all these years. If this city in the sky is really an "invader", although he knows that he only has mid-level strength, he is not afraid to do his part, but he is just ...... The future of the two children has always weighed on the father's heart, "hope...... Not the worst outcome. ”
......
"Ahh Cuiwa, who had re-transformed into a human form, returned to the hall and flapped her wings uneasily, Liu Li decided to call Sister Bailong's current form an angelic version, whether it was a holy breath or a white wing, it was very consistent...... Although there is an extra tail flicking around behind him.
It wasn't until Dragon City "flew" that Liu Li finally understood why such a city, which seemed to have nothing special except grandeur, would become the center of the entire "Heavenly Realm".
The principle of the "Shining City" of Cuiwa is the same as that of the mage tower of a high-level spellcaster, but the scope of the mage tower is only a region, while the dragon city can envelop the entire "heavenly realm". Dragon City does not have the spirit of the tower, and what was originally the center was the world will of the "Heavenly Realm", but this will had already dissipated and became formless ten thousand years ago.
"Cuiwa, don't you need to continue to maintain your ontological form?" Not every mage tower has a tower spirit, but a mage tower without a tower spirit can break away from the caster's dispatch and run on its own, not to mention Liu Li, who has not yet built his own mage tower, and even Landolia, who has created a portable simple mage tower by herself, is unheard of.
"Ah, it's okay, in fact, your Mage Tower technique was personally guided by me. Cuiwa waved his hand indifferently, his pretty face was flushed, and he tried to retract the wings and long tail behind him.
......
"Don't worry, the Shining City will not affect the 'Sky Tower', and after a while, even the form will disappear, and what you see will still be the same sky as before. Kayla reverted to her heartless state, acting like a normal little girl, "Little Alana, you were just frightened. ”
"Yes...... One thing, such a big city is pressed down......"
"What are you afraid of, the great Ancient White Dragon King can't control his own Dragon City?"
"However, with so many white elements, it can be a bit of a hassle for spellcasters who major in red and black spells. Alanna was very worried, the "Sky Tower" is a holy place for spellcasters, and there are all five types of spellcasters, and the pure white element in Dragon City that originates from the primeval white dragon king is too strong to suppress the red and black elements, resulting in the caster who majors in the color element can only exert fifty percent of his strength at most. Although there will be no problems for a while, if this continues, I am afraid that nearly half of the casters will leave the organization.
"Heh, don't worry, the 'Sky Tower' is an organization I established, how could I not have thought about this. Kayla replied confidently, "Or do you think the primeval White Dragon King can't restrain the white elemental?"
"It's me who is overthinking, but the council is ...... What should I do in the future?"
"The actual manager of the 'Sky Tower' is still you, but if Dragon City has any instructions, just do it. ”
"I see, Ancestor. ”
"Little Alanna...... This is the last time I remind you, to call my sister!"
