Chapter Thirty-Six: The Floating City of Dead Leaves
"Bellross, taste it. In a low-key but not simple inn, Battle handed Seatius a star-blue alcoholic drink.
The mug made of crystal reflects the light outside, making the gorgeous star wine even more dreamy.
However, even this kind of Pelros wine is much worse than the view from the balcony.
The green water glows faintly even at night, but there is no sense of gloom at all, but on the contrary, there is a sense of vitality. The rushing water rolled and crashed against the riverbank, and the sound of the waves that should have resounded on the riverbank did not come. All one can feel is the sight of the green river lapping against the shore or rushing away, but not a single sound can be heard.
The Rhine, with the appearance of the elves five hundred years ago, this green river with a width of more than 500 meters and a length of more than 5,000 kilometers suddenly appeared on the mainland, covering such a huge area, passing through seventy-three countries and two special regions, and the result appeared quietly.
The demonic beasts living in these areas also calmly accepted this river that appeared out of thin air, and the only races that panicked and ran for it were humans.
Some say it's humans forgetting something. That's why I don't know the meaning of this river.
Along with the river is the Elf. A race that is incomprehensible to current magical theories. Five hundred years of intersections with human beings are pitiful. But every intersection is exaggerated enough to go down in history.
The Holy Grail born from the Holy Seal Pact with the Holy See, and the River Pact with the Idavar Plains, all 500 meters along the Rhine River are designated as the territory of the Great Elves.
You must know that Trem, the capital of El Salvador, is only 4,000 meters in diameter, and the Rhine and the banks of the river are divided by 1,500 meters. Such a width pulls out a length of 5,000 kilometers.
It can be said that the area demarcated has been exaggerated to the extent that it can be measured in a few percent of the mainland.
After six days of travel, the group reached the part of the border with El Salvador, the city of dead leaves. El Salvador's original metropolis, Protogens, was also divided into two parts, the eastern and western cities, because of the crossing of the Rhine. The whole city seemed to be cut apart, squeezed to both sides by the Rhine.
Yes, what was originally on earth did not disappear, but the Rhine suddenly "mored" out. What was originally in the Rhine's position was simply "squeezed" to the side.
Withered Leaf Floating City is a multi-ethnic and diverse city, with immigrants from 93 countries and regions speaking more than 700 languages. As of the new calendar year 2210, there are about 8 million people living in 789 square kilometers of land. However, the most exaggerated thing is that the elves have made this city so huge that it cannot be contained by the naked eye float above the Rhine. There are three of the same cities, which serve as a bridge between multiple races and elves.
"I have to admit that the species of elves has created too many miracles in the past five hundred years. Seawall looked at the fluorescent splash in the dark green water, and gently took a sip of the Pelros in his hand.
"It's just a floating city, if you don't consider the consumption of mana, many countries can probably do it. "Battle is a warrior, and the magical theories he is exposed to are naturally not as rich as those of Seawalls. So much so that his point of view was vetoed by Seawall before he finished speaking.
"It's not that simple, the only way for humans to provide infinite magic is through the workshops formed by signing a contract with nature. However, it can be said that it is impossible to construct an 800 square kilometer floating magic array. Constructing a magic circle in part will only collapse due to the weight of the city itself. He drank the liquor in his hand in one go, and after a little aftertaste, he continued: "This city can float, and there are so many problems to be overcome in it that it can replace all the important members of a country, and then the elves have put all the answers to these problems here, and they have put them on the table for five hundred years, and these things are not even qualified for secrecy. ”
Seatith made a rare dejected remark, perhaps it was the peculiar Pelrose wine of the withered leaves that made Seatith a little talkative, and the sixteen-year-old boy stood on the balcony, pouring out magical topics to the slightly chubby man next to him.
"In terms of magic, we're so much worse than them. Seawall looked away from the river to the sky and sighed. Then he took his gaze back and looked at Battle with doubt: "Didn't you go to collect information?
"Of course not, although there isn't much about elves, but there are two things you care about. ”
"Oh? ”
"Half a month ago, the distribution of the Magic Guild in the Duchy of Kleington was attacked, and the union president and a security guard died. The other was also started half a month ago, when Convor set up a crusade against Anubis. As a result, there was a great battle in the Baimon Mountains, which overturned sixteen mountains, and even the famous rabbit was seriously injured, and finally Anubis fled in the direction of Ken. Now officially under the charge of Private Xeston. Xiaowei is said to have arrived in Ken three days ago and is received by the External Relations Department and the Warcraft Defense Department. ”
"It's just an eighth-level monster, did Kseston send privates? This Anubis is really much stronger than I thought. Seawall gripped the railing as he heard Xeston, gripping the pole hard. Even his breathing was muffled. "But since the soldiers are all dispatched, it is estimated that there will be no problem, after all, it is the combat power that even that academy can capture. ”
Listening to Seatith's mocking words, Battle frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not speak.
It took a long time for Seawall to regain her emotion, let go of her fingers, which had turned white from the exertion, and took a deep breath before apologizing to Battle.
"Are there elves in this city now?"
"Probably not, I don't know why, there hasn't been an elf for almost a month, and so have the other two cities. ”
......
looked at each other wordlessly, this news is indeed not good news for the current seatis, although there have been cases in history where the elves suddenly did not come to the present world, but there is no specific record. So Seawall didn't know what to do with the situation.
"Do you have to wait?" is a very passive way to deal with it, but now it has become one of the few reliable methods.
Elves do not live on this continent, and some people have repeatedly tried to enter the Rhine, but except for the river and some water creatures, there is no sign of elf life at all.
Elves generally do not spend the night in the city, and the current mainstream theory of this phenomenon is the doctrine of different spaces.
Apalton's space scholars hypothesize that the elves have their own realm of life, which intersects with the present realm in which we live through the Rhine. And the elves have discovered a way to travel between the two realms.
Although there are many other theories, this theory of different space is supported by most people and is widely circulated.
