Chapter Twenty-Four: The Invulnerable City
On the continent of Khadria, there is a group of people who are transcendent in the world, although they are usually obsessed with learning and rarely interfere in the world's mundane affairs, but once they dedicate themselves, they have the strength to change the course of the world, as long as they wave their fingers, they can change the mountains, rivers and stars, this group of people, call themselves "disciples of the goddess Letara", and they are more widely known as "magicians".

Magic did not exist in the world, and the goddess of wisdom, Leita, through 4,900 years of contemplation and meditation, finally brought good news to the people living on the continent, and taught everyone the method of using a little power to the twelve gods through the knowledge of legends of "spells, runes and magic circles", this science is called "Demon Taoism".
Before the advent of demonism, only those who had been granted the mandate of heaven by the gods could use the power of the gods. Later, the magicians used countless glorious legends to announce to the world that not only the bearers of the Mandate of Heaven can become heroes and leaders, but ordinary people also have unlimited potential, and through diligent study and training, they can also obtain the magic power comparable to the Mandate of Heaven.
On the continent of Khadria, magic is roughly divided into three major factions, and the place where the magicians of the three factions gather is commonly known as the "Three Great Magic Academies". One of them is the Karenitz Academy, which is famous for its "elemental magic" and "magic", the power of which comes from gods such as Ignis, the god of fire, and Saron, the god of the sea, and magic, which is mostly created by creative magicians through their own whims.
The Arcane Tower, located in the Crystal Heights, is the second magic academy that specializes in "Arcane Magic" and "Construction Magic". The power of the arcane comes from the goddess of wisdom itself, and it is an academic summary through the basic composition and change laws of matter, and from the knowledge of the arcane derives a kind of "changing the composition of matter through magic", that is, "construction magic", so the magicians of the arcane tower are arcane masters who can easily destroy the composition of matter, or are good at making golems and puppets.
The Third Academy's reputation is much worse in comparison, as a "scrative convoy" that is mainly stationed in the city of the undead, Cavila, but often moves around the continent. They specialize in "necromancy" and "life magic", and try to understand the meaning of life and death by studying the goddess of death, Volo. Undead, corpses, diseases, and even the living are all materials for their research, and the purpose of their wanderings is precisely to collect these materials, necromancers and forbidden spell sorcerers, adept at summoning armies of the dead to fight for themselves, or mastering the forbidden magic that transfers life from others to themselves.
Karenitz Academy and the Forest of Golden Dawn are not far away, and the magicians and the Sun Elves have always been closely related, and today the boys will ride the galloping Arcane Falcon, and go to the magic academy a hundred miles away to tell them the details of the elven war.
The princess used the snow owl to deliver the message in advance, but when she and her companions jumped from the eagle of mysteries, clutched the hem of their skirts, and stepped on the continuous updraft, she finally floated to the ground, but when she stood in front of the magnificent façade of the magic academy at sunset, she couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Behind the white walls, the light blue castle towers into the sky, and the golden dome shines like a ruby in the sunset. The blue crystal stone forms a levitating circle around the tower, and the bright magic trail line passes through the tower to the marble platform suspended in the air, this magnificent magic academy is stunning just by looking at it from afar.
But what amazed the princess even more was that there was not even a single light in the huge magic academy when night was falling, and the whole castle seemed to be empty, and the white curtains fluttered gently outside the old mahogany window lattices, and the evening breeze swirled around the towering six-pointed star hands on the dome, and then flowed to the flower-filled garden, startling a group of arcane butterflies composed of light elements, sending out an empty and distant echo.
"Great Karenic...... Why not a single one. The princess said dumbfoundedly, "This is strange enough, and what is even more strange is that there is no door on the outer wall of the magic academy!"
Yuri said dumbfoundedly, "Did all the students of the academy go out on an outing?"
The princess pointed to the big lake next to the castle: "It is obvious that the magicians do not welcome us!
Yuri looked at the lake in amazement and stammered, "Sure enough, that's true!"
"They must have been afraid that I would ask for help, so they deliberately pretended not to be at home, and they had to hide the gate!
The princess summoned Starlight, and immediately had five more daggers in her hand, her eyes flashed, and she said fiercely: "This princess has not wanted to see anyone but can't see since she was a child!
As soon as he spoke, five daggers were shot at the city wall, which looked very strong, swallowed the dagger into it, and it rippled like the surface of the water, and then the dagger flew out at the same speed from the place where it was swallowed. Yuri swung his slash and flicked five daggers in front of the princess, and the princess herself broke out in a cold sweat, stamped her feet and shouted, "Don't you think this is too much!
Viji hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't worry, the magicians didn't deliberately avoid it. Haven't you heard that the Karenitz Lyceum is the 'city that cannot be attacked'?"
Yuri asked rhetorically, "Aren't you talking about Holy Thorn City?"
"Holy Thorn City is a 'city that will not be attacked', and even if it is attacked, it will never fall. Karenitz, on the other hand, is a city where the enemy cannot even find a way to attack. ”
Virgi explained: "This high wall, an imaginary space constructed of powerful magic, has the property of 'this end is the other end', and the dagger that shoots at the wall is equivalent to shooting at itself. Moreover, there is no gate on the high wall, so the enemies who came with the purpose of attacking the city can only look at this gateless wall and sigh. ”
"Explain the!" said the princess, "so what are we going to do next!"
"Leave it to me. Princess, Yuri, take me by the hand and I'll take you into the city. ”
Virgi took his two companions and walked in the direction of the lake. He sensed a slight hesitation on the part of Yuri and the princess, and he tugged hard, causing them to stagger onto the calm water.
"W-won't fall underwater?" asked Yuri, surprised.
"The water in this lake is full of elemental power, as long as it can resonate with the water element, I can change the tension on the surface of the water body, it is a bit troublesome to explain, in short, you must mark, if you let go of my hand, you will immediately sink to the surface of the water. ”
The three of them carefully tread the water, their toes falling on the surface of the lake, stepping on the ripples in circles. As the sun sets, the night sky is full of stars, and Yuri and the princess feel like they're walking in the stars.
Eventually, they reached the top of the castle wall where the castle was reflected, and the princess leaned over to look into the lake, and could see the scenery of the city, and the mages were flying in the air on flying carpets or piloting the wings of the breeze. The princess was puzzled by the fact that according to common sense, the reflection of the water could only reflect the outside of the castle, and never the view of the castle's inner garden. She looked back at the city standing on the shore in shock, wondering if there was something wrong with the angle of the castle, and felt someone press down on her, and then sank into the lake, choking on a large mouthful of water, and just as she wanted to cover her nose desperately, she heard Virgy say: "You won't choke on water, the water layer is only a meter or two to reach the ether membrane, and you can pass directly into the real Karenitz Academy." ”
"Real ...... Karenitz Academy?"
The princess penetrated the water layer, and suddenly felt that the heaven and earth rotated ninety degrees, and her original posture was to pounce on the water, and the direction of gravity should be the direction of her face, but now she suddenly felt that gravity came from the direction of the soles of her feet, that is to say, the state of the princess at this moment is to hold the air with both hands and hang in the air.
That's right, it's hanging in mid-air.
Yuri and the princess burst into tears, and fell straight down with a whoosh, and when they saw that they were about to be planted directly to the ground, suddenly a flying carpet embroidered with gold thread flew under the three people, shook them back into the air, and then loaded them up again, and flew high again at the speed of chasing the wind and electricity.
"Mom, you should warn me of such a scary thing in the future!" the princess was like a fried cat, and her tears turned into straight lines and fell into the night sky.
"Don't worry, I'm too familiar with everything in this academy to be familiar with!"
Virgie tugged at the corner of the flying carpet to control the flight trajectory, through the ring of fire summoned by the fire mage, through the power grid summoned by the lightning apprentice, and directly into the pool of glittering water, rushing out of the portal on the roof, and the strong wind from the flying carpet ruffled the large number of books in the arms of the elementary school girl, and shook the windows of the library. Yuri and the princess were faceless, resigned to Virgie's speeding in all sorts of strange places, and finally a little to get used to it, Virgie pulled the flying carpet and slammed into the huge oil painting on the outer wall of the library, causing the two of them to cry and hug each other again.
"Virgil, are you crazy!"
"I told you not to worry!
The flying carpet puffed into the oil painting, as if plunging into a deep pool, only to see that the oil painting was a space with a strange painting style, like a crazy oil painter's work painted with heavy color blocks, Yuri looked at the princess also turned into an oil painting style, and couldn't help but feel very novel, and those characters that existed in the famous paintings, such as the paladin Roland, the girl with the straw, and the dying David in the bathtub, left their original positions in panic and ran around in the world in the painting.
