The three Esther followed Valentina through a shadowy passage between the walls and the palace to the bottom of a tower that stood separate from the rest of the building. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Oh my God, isn't this a trumpet replica of the White Tower!" Esther blurted out in surprise. He recognized the tower at a glance. From the outside, the tower is only eight meters tall and divided into three floors, which is just a small man compared to the white tower with hundreds of floors, but it is exactly the same as the white tower in appearance. Esther clearly felt that the tower gave him a similar feeling to the White Tower. In other words, there is also an independent space in this tower.
"This is not a replica of the White Tower. In other words, the White Tower is a replica of it. The history of this magic tower is even older than the city of Colombo. This is the headquarters of the Void Fleet. The entire Void Fleet of Coronia is moored in this tower. It has a proud name - the first tower. Valentina heard Easter's words. Said to Esther with a proud face.
Mora Gott was refreshed when he heard this. "This is the first tower? the first magic watchtower that the Koren family built after they first logged into Coronia, that is, the space warehouse that stored countless supplies before the Dark Ages and helped the Koren family survive five hundred years of melee?"
"That's right. But now it's the Void Fleet headquarters. All the ships of the Coronian Void Fleet are moored in the tower. β
"All the ships are in the tower!
"It's big anyway. It's bigger than the whole of Colombo. It's full of military restricted areas, and you have to show your documents, and even I don't bother to go around. β
That being said, Esther noticed that there wasn't even a single guard at the gate of the first tower, which didn't look like a military stronghold.
But he soon realized why the first tower didn't need guards. Because the tower was empty, there was nothing, only a huge teleportation circle was drawn on the ground. Esther looked up and saw that the entire First Tower was a complete project. It looks like it has three floors, but it's actually hollow.
"This teleportation array is the only way to enter the headquarters of the Void Fleet?The first tower is just a faΓ§ade, but there's nothing in it, right?" Mora Gault immediately understood the actual situation here. The headquarters of the Void Fleet is not actually in Kolenburg at all, but is connected to Kolenburg through this teleportation circle. This situation is the same as that of the White Tower. Through those teleportation spells, people thought they were heading to those levels, but in fact they were entering separate half-planes. But the size of the White Tower was apparently due to the fact that each of the half-plane owners refused to share the teleportation circle with the others, so that they set the final level to the half-plane in a separate level of their own.
The reason why fewer teleportation circles can now be used to reach the many floors of the White Tower is entirely due to the fact that many half-planes have escaped the control of the original creators over the years, and have been found by the Alchemists' Guild and the mages of the royal family, and the way of entry has been changed. Even so, at the height of the White Tower, it is highly likely that the number of undiscovered half-planes in its body will exceed the number that has already been discovered.
The entire ground of the first tower is completely covered by the teleportation circle, and as long as you walk into the first tower, it is equivalent to standing on the teleportation circle. As Valentina pulled out a metal tablet encrusted with gems, the circle was immediately in motion.
Valenkina noticed that everyone else was looking at the metal card in her hand and explained, "It's a pass card. Each person who qualifies for the first tower will be allocated. However, there are only a few all-weather passes of my type, and most of them have a time limit and can only enter and exit the first tower at a fixed time. β
"In this way, the first tower is under militarized management. It's no wonder that few people know that this place is the main base of the Void Fleet. Esther thought to himself.
As the charged gems on the edge of the teleportation circle are all lit up, the teleportation officially begins.
This method of teleportation is clearly designed to transport large-scale materials. Instead of using advanced mana crystals that charge energy quickly, it still uses ancient charged gems. Teleportation circles using this gem activate slowly, but can effectively teleport objects weighing more than a ton, and there is no upper weight limit.
However, such circles have always been known for being expensive to install and difficult to maintain. I don't think it was for the fact that the Koren royal family was rich all over the world, and the Void Fleet was rich, so they couldn't afford to use this old-fashioned teleportation array.
The obsolescence of the old teleportation array is not just a matter of cost. The feeling of being in it alone is two worlds entirely. The last time he went to Grylls' Restaurant, he passed through the White Tower Teleportation Circle, and Est didn't feel any discomfort, but this time he clearly felt that his body seemed to be stretched and then shortened.
This feeling is very unsettling, and there is always a fear that the teleportation failure will cause the whole person to be torn apart. This is not delusional, once the new teleportation circle fails to teleport, it will say that the objects inside will be thrown or teleported to an unknown space at one time. But this old teleportation circle will throw the objects inside indiscriminately. By that time, a person's arms and thighs will most likely be thrown in two parts.
Fortunately, the teleportation was over quickly. This also made Est understand that this half-plane, which was once the battle warehouse of the royal family and is now the headquarters of the Void Fleet, must be a half-plane closely connected to Coronia.
Completely different from the huge and vast Void Fleet base that Esther and the others expected, the place where they appeared was more like a small cave. The cave is no more than three meters high, only about two meters wide, and the walls are all hard rock. Behind them was a vertical wall, the entire wall made of a special metal that looked extremely hard. The walls are inscribed with the coat of arms of the royal family of Coron, a purple iris-shaped shield. The shield represents the Coron family, who relied on military merit to obtain the title of nobility. And the purple color indicates that the Cologne family was the first founder of this military exploit. The shield is divided into four equal squares from the center. In the upper left slot is a scepter. This is the common coat of arms of the Coron family, representing the power and status that the Coron family has in the maternal plane. In the upper right grid is a wing covered with golden feathers, representing this family branch surnamed Cologne, which has been separated from the maternal family and is no longer under the direct control of the maternal family, and has first-class strength. Inside the lower left grid is a battleship with black sails, which was the largest patron that the first ancestor of the Coron royal family received when he separated from the Koren family, and he engraved it on the family coat of arms. The fourth box at the bottom right is supposed to record the greatest exploits of the family, so on top, there is only one tree, one golden-leaved cedar. This is the most iconic magical tree species of Coronia, representing the family that rules the vast land, sky and sea of Coronia.
But East soon realizes that this is not the coat of arms of the royal family of Coron. Although the general pattern is the same, in the center of the shield, there are three blood-red crescents like the claws of a fierce beast.
This is the coat of arms of the commander of one of the most powerful Void Fleets in the history of Coronia, Grand Duke of the Red Moon, Commander of the Void Fleet of the Coronia Royal Family, and the eldest princess of the Coronian Royal Family.
Compared to the traditional coat of arms representing the royal family and the king himself, the coat of arms of the eldest princess looks more aggressive, and the hard and cold metal carrier also makes it appear more ruthless.
East had never heard of the eldest princess. She is like a shadow hidden behind the light of Coronia, fighting year after year in the cold, dark and dangerous void, so that the people on the ground can live in false peace.
From Valentina's account, Esther had already learned that although His Highness was only twenty-three years old this year, he had been the commander of the Void Fleet for ten years.
Esther could not imagine how a thirteen-year-old girl could command a fleet and lead it to a series of glorious victories. There may be war geniuses in the world, but geniuses need to be honed in the flames of war. Rifle Koren, on the other hand, seems to have been born to know. She has never had battlefield experience, and every time she fights, she is either a big victory or a draw, and she has won a big victory in seven important battles that have decided the ownership of the Void Overlord of the nearby plane.
This is no longer something that can be explained by genius. Under the command of Revere Cologne, the Coronian Void Fleet has displayed terrifying combat effectiveness time and time again. Defeating a stronger opponent is as common for this fleet as eating and drinking.
East is now eager to meet the eldest princess right away. If the eldest princess really has the ability to fight as he imagined. Then she is the guardian of Coronia.
At the end of the cave is a force field wall. This force field wall can only be opened from outside the cave. About fifty heavily armed and armored soldiers stood vigilantly behind the force field wall, carefully observing the approaching group with serious expressions.
Apparently, they quickly recognized Valentina, and most of them's expressions immediately lightened. However, Esther noticed no change in the expressions of several of the soldiers whose armor was of a different color and appearance.
As Valentina walked in front of the force field wall, a young man with more elaborate armor and who was clearly an officer shouted, "Stop, pass?"
"The password is 'the banquet is annoying', Radek, don't bother, remove the force field wall. Otherwise, I won't give Lina a holiday and let you jerk yourself to death. "Valentina is obviously familiar with this officer, and as soon as she speaks, she is skillful in coercion and lure.
The officer's face turned red sharply, and he looked at his men who were sneering and sneering around him.
"Sister Valentina, you can't help slandering us like this! Lina and I have a pure relationship between men and women!"
"Yes, yes, you are pure. But if you delay my time any longer, I will lock Lina with a chastity belt when I go back, and make you pure to death. β
This sentence almost frightened Radek, and he quickly tried to turn off the force field generator, but was stopped by another soldier.
"Your Excellency Valentina, the three people around you are very eye-catching. I wonder if you can tell us who they are?"
Esther noticed that this was one of the soldiers whose armor was out of the ordinary. Then she heard Valentina muttering in some surprise, "The family guard?
