Chapter Ninety-Nine: Prelude to Madness
Clearing the dragon man obstacle, the next thing to do seems to be starting to get easier. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Yes, everyone does think so, but no one will know what awaits them at the top, and everything seems to be going smoothly after defeating the dragonmen.
As for the materials used to repair the magic array, it is impossible to know what materials the elves used back then. But one thing is for sure, if the magic circle is infused with the power of the gems that contain rich magical power, then all that is left may be to go to the café for a steaming cup of coffee.
Finding the gem with magical power seemed like a no-brainer for the Academy of Magic, which was littered with gems in its treasury. But at the same time, there is a fact that they have to believe. That is, most of the gems in the academy's treasury are not enough for the magic array of Sky City to be injected with energy, which means that only a small part of the seemingly many gems can really be used.
In order to solve this problem, they had to re-study the energy saturation of the magic array. It was not an easy task, they had to collect samples around the Sky City in those Magadha, and they had to be careful of any possible surprise attack from the tower, although the latter was almost unlikely.
Of course, some adventurers have also asked why they don't use Magadha to go directly to any of the layers of Sky Castle when they are co-collecting, which is much faster than simply starting from the lower levels. The people at the School of Magic seemed to think it was a stupid question, but they patiently answered it in the end.
Due to the Sky City Magic Array, this flying tool that relies on magical energy will be affected by their power when it is close to the magic array, which means that if you are not careful, you will be in danger of crashing. Of course, if someone is willing to experience it with their own body, they don't mind providing him with a Magadha. It's just that if he survives, he may have to bear the full cost of compensation for the crash of Magadha.
Fast forward to March, and after collecting samples from the magic circle again, they finally came to the conclusion that they had to use a large number of gems in the sky city that were similar to the magic power of the magic array for energy injection. Upon hearing this, Maffeo reluctantly handed over the collected spinels to Uma, who had hoped to sell them for a good price.
While the Academy of Magic was preparing, everyone continued to explore the Sky City. Thanks to the gods, thanks to Mirna's help, she managed to set up a teleportation magic circle on the 30th floor, which made it much easier.
The breeze was lapping on their faces, the sun shining down on their bodies, and for the warm weather, Maffeo and Marcos seemed eager to spend the warm weather looking out over the city in the sky from the roof of the hotel.
"How's your arm?" Marcos asked, holding a cigarette.
Maffeo raised his right arm, "The perfect situation." ”
"So, you're going there. Marcos nodded in the direction of the city in the sky.
"That's right. ”
Marcos mischievously spat out a string of smoke rings at Maffeo, who waved his hand in annoyance to disperse it. "Hey, you know what. So many people were affected, so many people. He seemed to emphasize the meaning of the sentence, so he said it word by word.
"What do you mean?" Maffeo didn't understand.
Marcos sat down and pointed to the city in the sky with a cigarette in his hand. "Those who have been deceived by appearances have forgotten themselves. ”
"If it weren't for those damn monsters, it would be a nice place indeed. Maffeo smiled and spread his hands.
"It's paralyzed. Marcos shook his head.
Maffeo smiled and patted Marcos on the shoulder, "What's the matter, man? ”
"No, I mean, do you see the situation of the people who have come back from there these days?"
Maffeo nodded, "I heard Freya say that she's been exploring with them. It seems that the fellows are much happier than they were before they killed Lucas......" Maffeo suddenly seemed to understand something, and he said in a changed tone. "Wait, you mean they don't feel it at all? I've heard of people who go there without even bringing their weapons, they're like ...... Sightseeing as well. ”
"It's really terrible, and you know it's going to cost lives to get them back to being able to be vigilant. Marcos said in a deep voice.
Maffeo seemed to sense something, and he could finally understand what Marcos had said. Since the killing of Lucas, people seem to have become optimistic, rumors are always deadly, and some even say that it will not take much effort to successfully explore the castle in the sky. Some people tried to refute it, but in the end he was snubbed by everyone, and the imbalance of mentality is always the most terrible.
"Did the Academy of Magic tell them that the next area might be where the puppeteers are?" Maffeo suddenly remembered something.
Marcos glanced up at Maffeo, "Do you think that for people who have never really known about Sky City, they can really believe this kind of thing that can't show any proof of its existence?"
Maffeo wanted to say something, but Marcos continued: "What about you? Do you believe that the puppeteers exist? Have you seen them with your own eyes?"
Marcos's words made Maffeo shake his head, he had only heard about the creature's existence from Mirna.
"Because even the magicians haven't fully explored Sky City, we don't know what will be on it. Marcos said, shaking his head.
"Listen to me, man. It's not that serious, if those monsters show up in front of us, we just have to sweep them away, okay?"
"Hopefully you're right. Marcos slowly stood up, his injuries were not yet fully healed, at least the fight was out of his reach for now.
Rout looked at the letter full of words in his hand with a grim expression, and Vera and Fett stood aside, as if waiting for Rout to give them an answer.
"They're crazy. Root put down the letter and said helplessly.
"What's wrong?" asked Vera.
Rout threw the letter directly to Vera, who quickly opened it and read it with Fett.
There was no doubt that what was written in the letter was too crazy, and the Legion of the Oracles led by Natalia had robbed an Imperial three-masted galleon on the island of Ruava, 200 nautical miles off the west coast, the previous night. While this in itself may seem like a good thing for the same Revolutionary Army, the reason for this is that there are allies of the Revolutionary Army on the island of Ruava, and such reckless actions by the Oracle may bring disaster to the allies on the island.
"Are they crazy?" said Root, who was almost on the verge of roaring.
"It looks like Sellers won't let them go, we might have company. Vera said word for word.
Rout shook his head, "I shouldn't have agreed to the request for cooperation if I knew I wouldn't have agreed, they're still the same." ”
"I think you probably drank too much that day. Vera teased.
"I think I might need the help of those two guys. Rout waved his hand.
"You mean Marcos and Maffeo?" Fett asked, though she knew who Root was referring to.
Root nodded, "Someone has spotted the Imperial Army in Sky City, and since they're exploring there now, maybe we can ask them to help us investigate." After all, our main goal is to cooperate with the Oracle Legion to find the third princess, Isabella, which is crucial for us and for them. ”
"I'll tell them. ”
