Chapter 37: The Tower of the Stars (Part II)
Constantine rubbed his somewhat sore glasses and stepped out of the dazzling light.
Constantine raised his head and saw the twilight clouds dangling overhead, and the depths of the twilight clouds, dotted with stars of different colors, seemed to be no longer far away.
Constantine looked around and was stunned to find that only himself and Laplace were left around, and that Roland, Euler, and Siegfried had all disappeared.
It was an empty room, all around, with a stone pillar more than a meter high erected in the center of the room, on which a crystal slab was placed.
The dome of the room is a transparent hemispherical glass dome through which you can see the sky outside the tower.
"Welcome to the Hoshimi Tower. Laplace gently patted him on the shoulder, then reached out and handed something over.
Constantine subconsciously took it and found that it was a ring engraved with the symbol of the stars.
"Every trialist who joins Daybreak City must bring something to show their affiliation, which is the dimensional ring given to the trialist by the Star Tower. ”
Constantine touched the "wheel of fortune" in his pocket, frankly speaking, now, with an artifact-level pocket watch, he no longer needs the rest of the magic props, but for Laplace's sake, this ring is still necessary to accept.
He quickly gathered his thoughts, "So, Lord Laplace, I'm now a full-fledged member of the Star Tower?"
"Not yet. Laplace shook his head, "The final fate of the trialist is determined by himself, and that ring is just a testimony, representing that the Trialgate believes that you are suitable to enter the Star Observation Tower." ”
"Of course, even if you do join the Star Tower, there is nothing I can teach you. Laplace said, "Your talent is far above mine, though you can't find it right now. ”
"What about the others?" asked Constantine.
"Naturally, they go where they need to go. Laplace replied, "Follow me." ”
Constantine followed the old astrologer to the center of the room, and at the same time looked curiously at the empty hall, "Where is this? ”
"For an astrologer, their life is nothing but fate and the stars, and nothing else. ”
Laplace said as he walked, came to the stone pillar in the center of the room, and put his hand on the crystal plate, "The place where you stand under your feet is the center of the Star Tower, and the operation of the entire tower depends on this crystal plate in front of me to manage, only a mage with astrology talent can use it, with the help of its power, you can perform some very interesting operations, such as..."
Laplace whispered a few syllables.
Constantine felt a wave of magic spread, and the room shook quietly, and then the light in the whole room suddenly brightened.
The circular marble walls of the room have faded their color, as if created by illusion, and have disappeared like a wash, replaced by a transparent crystal wall, and the view from the window can be unobstructed.
The entire central room is like a suspended observation deck, standing in the room, you can overlook the whole world under the tower.
For a moment, Constantine held his breath.
Looking out through the crystal wall, he saw the scenery outside the Hoshimi Tower: the Hoshimi Tower was built on a tall mountain, surrounded by rolling mountains, snow-capped peaks that reached into the sky, and the clouds reflected in the stars in the evening.
With the help of the "starry eyes", he can even see that in the distance, one after another mountains and forests are located on the vast plains, and in the mountains and forests, large and small artificial lakes are extremely clear, like spars embedded in the earth, reflecting the starlight in the depths of the sky.
"This is the City of Dawn?" Constantine's tone was shocking.
"Just a small part. "To be precise, all you see is the second floating island of the City of Dawn, on which the Star Tower is built. ”
Constantine remembered the images he had seen in the temple at the top of the "Paradise Mountain", in which several floating islands surrounded the towering peaks as if by a miracle.
"Floating islands like this, there are six of them in the entire City of Daybreak, and on them are the headquarters of the six ancient organizations of the City of Daybreak. ”
"The interior environment of each floating island is different, and what you see is the environment set up by the sages who built the Hoshimi Tower. ”
Constantine released his spiritual power out of his body, sensing the magical energy faintly flowing on the floating island, "The energy here is very stable, and there are no superfluous attributes. ”
"Yes. Laplace smiled, "This floating island is reserved for us astrologers, it is quiet, very peaceful, and very peaceful, and it is very suitable for astrologers to meditate and think, and your mother loved to come to this floating island back then." ”
Laplace reached out and tapped a few times on several parts of the crystal plate, "This is the magic data stored inside the Star Tower, which allows you to intuitively see the structure of the entire city. ”
What happened next gave Constantine an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Just as at the top of the Grand Temple of Radiance, the Pope unlocked the dusty memories in the crystal pendant, Laplace activated a spell in the crystal tablet, summoning a projection of the entire City of Dawn.
Unlike what the Pope had shown him, this time what emerged from the countless rays of light was not a realistic and realistic picture of the Heavenly Mountain, but a diorama of the entire city, all of which were presented in the form of three-dimensional projections to Constantine's eyes.
Countless particles of light emerged from above the crystal slabs, forming the entire picture of the City of Daybreak.
Once again, he couldn't help but marvel at the magic skills of the Star Tower.
The projection that emerged from the crystal plate showed that the entire city of dawn was built on a huge mountain peak with a height of 10,000 meters, and on the peak of the mountain sat a variety of magnificent buildings, all of which were more than 100 meters high.
Six huge floating islands are arranged from top to bottom, flying around the main peak along an eternal track, and above each of the six floating islands is suspended a special and eye-catching symbol.
Above the floating island projection of the second orbit, Constantine spotted the logo of the Star Tower, which was a blue star.
The markers suspended above the other floating islands are also different, distinguishing them from each other.
The magic mark above the floating island of the lowest orbit is the sword and shield symbol that everyone in the Icadia continent is very familiar with, and even a household name, which is the emblem of the "Alchemy Altar" organization.
In the 1,000 years since mankind entered the golden age, the Alchemy Altar has been responsible for the production and supply of more than ninety percent of the alchemy items in the entire human world, and has the most mineral resources in the continent, and is also the most solid and reliable economic pillar behind countless chambers of commerce.
During his years in the Hunters' Guild, Constantine had a lot of dealings with the "Alchemy Altar" and had a deep understanding of the great power of this organization in the world.
Not to mention the principalities and small countries on the mainland, even the two empires and the Dragon Vein family, they didn't dare to slack off the alchemy altar at all.
