Chapter 435: Una and Layla's Mission
The third floor of the street below the entrance to Foggy City is only a little more than 100 meters long, and neither the width of the street nor the stone chamber hewn out of the rock is as large as the first floor. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Towards the end of November, the season has officially begun to winter, although the weather in the three northern provinces has always been gloomy lately, but from the fog city to the north, there is a different scene - except for some dark clouds overhead, the sky in the north is clear.
This is not to say that the Knights' Federation adjacent to Fog City has good weather, but because the huge elevation difference is correspondingly lower north of the North Fall Cliffs - specifically, the clouds there are about a third of the way up from the bottom to the top of Fog City.
Therefore, looking out from the cliff at this moment, the fields and towns that were faintly visible in the Knight Federation in the past were all covered by thick clouds, and as far as the eye could see, there was only a sea of clouds.
"Young Master...... The scenery here is a bit like a mountain peak above the clouds. Una said with a smile.
"It's a little," Donner held on to the stone pillar on the edge of the cliff and nodded with a smile, although Una and Layla both had experience living on the clouds, they had never seen such a steep stone wall, and they didn't dare to stand too close to the cliff.
"But...... There are no other peaks in the clouds, and there are no cable cars in the clouds. Layla added.
"Hmm...... Well, I'm not here to show you the scenery. Donner turned back to look at the two girls, "I've been handing over that improvised fireball model to you for more than a year since I was still in St. Petersburg, and I'm checking my homework today." ”
"Sister Una, you still said that the young master may have forgotten......" Layla looked at Una with a look of help.
Una glared at her half-jokingly.
"How could I forget such an important thing?" Donner shook his head with a smile and pointed out of the cliff, "It's just that no one can see it inside." ”
"I haven't tried it yet...... Layla looked a little nervous, "Sister Una, you better come first." ”
"Hmm...... Then Una will come first......" Donner nodded, looking at Una with a grin.
"Hmm!" Una glanced at the cliff, motioned for Layla to get out of the way, and slowly raised her hand.
At the moment when Una's hands were fully raised, a blue fireball about the size of a football appeared in her palm, and then flew out of the cliff with a snort.
Donner looked over and saw that the fireball crossed a long parabola, and it was not until it fell for more than ten kilometers that it scattered into stars, like a firework.
He turned around and was about to say a few compliments, only to find that Una had a dejected look on her face.
"It's supposed to be a level 4 fireball...... Why ......," the Girl Madtim muttered to herself.
Donner smiled and explained, "This is Middle-earth, and the magic element is relatively thin...... You are indeed a fourth-level fireball!"
Una laughed.
"Very good, it's only been a little over a year to master the fourth-level fireball!" Donner looked at her approvingly, then turned to Layla, "How are you?"
"I've only mastered the second-level fireball......" Layla whispered in frustration as she shot a blue fireball towards the cliff as well.
If only the size of the fireball is concerned, it is not much smaller than the one that Una just now, but this fireball lasts much shorter in the sky, and it only flies a kilometer or two before disintegrating.
"Not bad!" Donner encouraged, "You've only been learning magic for a long time." ”
Una also pulled Layla's arm and said softly, "Did you hear that, the young master also said that you are very good......"
After all, Layla was still a child under twenty years old, and she was comforted for a while, and quickly recovered.
Not long after, the three of them walked into the cage in a shaft at the end of the street, and pulled the sling together, due to the existence of the complex reduction wheel set a few hundred meters overhead, the sling pulled a long distance, and the cage only rose a little. When the two girls were exhausted, Donner worked alone, but the speed of the rise was much faster.
Ten minutes later, the cage was raised to the top of the shaft, and Donner fixed the sling firmly on the top of the cage, wrapped it around a few more times, and tied a god buckle, and then took the two girls out of the cage together.
According to his estimates, this shaft is only 600 meters deep at most, and the entire fog city is probably connected by more than 100 such shaft tunnels.
On the one hand, he was surprised by the tenacity of the sling material, and on the other hand, he deeply felt the inefficiency of the current purely human-driven power mechanism - although there were two cages in the deep well, and when there were many materials to be transported, the counterweight could be reasonably arranged to reduce the burden of manpower, but in Donner's opinion, the efficiency was still too low.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head. In the absence of a steam engine, an internal combustion engine, or an electric motor, he really couldn't think of any way to solve the power problem - if it was driven by a magic array, the consumption of magic crystals would be too great, and it would be impossible to spread it on a large scale.
Walking on the second-floor street, Layla suddenly asked, "Young Master, you said that the primitives used by the magicians of Middle-earth are all fake, so their strength is actually very weak...... So those knights of the same level, can they fight?"
"Hmm......" Donner pulled his thoughts back from the question of motivation, "the same level of Middle-earth mage is stronger than the same level of Middle-earth knights. ”
"Doesn't that mean that if the level is the same, the knights of the Knight Federation are much weaker than the magicians of the Magic Continent?" asked Una this time.
"In Middle-earth, that's true......" Donner nodded, "but ...... If it were in the Knights' Federation, the mage would not be a match for the knights at all, and vice versa. ”
"No wonder Middle-earth is controlled by the Magic Continent......" Una muttered.
"Well, no wonder knights don't go to the Magic Continent, and magicians don't go to the Knight Federation!" Layla chimed in.
"I have two tasks for you......" Donner said as he walked.
"Young master, you said. Una said quickly.
"One is to continue to practice the magic array, but pay attention to secrecy, and never leak the true element, I will list the place of work of the two of you as a forbidden place, but you also have to be careful, even if you leave the room temporarily, you must destroy the half-drawn magic circle. Donner said slowly, "The other thing is to master this fireball model to the highest level as soon as possible......"
Donner said this, and turned to look at the two girls: "That is, Una's goal is level six, and Layla's goal is level five." ”
Una and Layla both nodded, and Donner was referring to their current mage level, the highest level of magic they could build.
"In about two years at the earliest, there will be a team of magicians in Mist Town, and when the time comes, the work of teaching them magic models will be handed over to the two of you. Donner said.
"Ah...... So, I'm going to be a teacher too?" Layla excited.
Una smiled faintly, but was obviously not as excited as Layla.
