Chapter Ninety-Eight: Acquisition of Property (II)

Saleen and the others were led by Sumano towards the center of the city, Saleen walked very slowly, and he and Rex observed the city as they walked.

Alchemy City is truly unique, and Salin never imagined that a city would be like this.

The wide street, where all the stones on the ground are magically spliced together, and there are drainage holes on both sides of the street, and a labyrinth of drainage pipes underneath. The streets are wide enough that the carriages go along only one side and there are no congestions.

Outside the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street, in addition to the sculptures and patterns decorated with surnames, a magic lamp will appear every 100 meters or so. It's still daytime, and the magic lights aren't on. In his heart, Salin could imagine how spectacular it would be if all these magic lamps in the Alchemy City were glowing at night.

The first floor of the building on both sides of the road was basically full of shops, and there was everything to do, and passing through a huge glass window, Saleen saw that there were several magic apprentices inside who were dismantling a puppet more than five meters high.

The equipment stores here are also quite different from other cities, and they are basically places that only deal in a certain type of equipment. An equipment shop on the corner that looks like it only sells armor. Since there are four swordsman battalions in Alchemy City, the consumption of swordsmen is not small. At the door of this armor shop around the corner stood two puppets as tall as ordinary people, wearing yellow, orange and orange magic armor, occasionally making a few imposing movements to solicit business.

On the glass vitrines of the store, two lines of ever-changing colors are written in magic potions - the Dyneema Knight's Armor Forging Technique, a 1,500-year-old tradition to ensure your safety.

Although the knightly class has declined, the forging technology of knight armor has been handed down. Such magical words may have a good appeal for a swordsman.

The sky was overcast, it seemed like it was going to rain, and the people on the streets didn't care. Saleen saw that many people were dressed in the robes of magic apprentices, and they were in a hurry.

Between the many oppressively tall buildings, there are often low-rise buildings, all of which are built in a variety of styles, almost all of which are built according to the standards of a magic laboratory.

These buildings are much shorter than the surrounding houses, but they are also about 20 meters tall. The buildings do not exceed five floors, and all have open spaces in front of the door to park horses.

According to Sumano, the width of the alchemy city is 12 li. With so many tall buildings, it is true that they can accommodate as many people as the Holy Rock City.

Alchemy City and Holy Rock City are both very large, but Holy Rock City is atmospheric, and it makes people's hearts break when they see it. Alchemy City is huge, and everything is much bigger than a normal city except for the carriage.

This kind of bigness makes people's hearts empty, as if in this city, you are always alone, and the other people are far away, unable to get close to each other.

Salin found that he loved Alchemy City, but he had an indescribable emotion that made him want to escape from this place.

Holy Rock City is also very clean and orderly, but that kind of order makes people's lives more comfortable.

The order of Alchemy City, without any warmth, is like a magic formula, which is equal to everyone. This is what magic feels like, an extreme order.

Salin gradually understood the difference between the Holy Rock City and the Alchemy City, the Alchemy City is like a constructed puppet, the interior is very delicate, there will be no running errors, and the Holy Rock City is a mutated constructed puppet that can communicate with you.

If you want to survive in Alchemy City, you must have strong control, and the city like alchemy machinery will not be a harm.

The Alchemy Tower had long been in the eyes of Salin, and Rex also looked at the towering tower from afar, and the complicated emotions in his heart were indescribable.

It's not a 'tower' in the traditional sense at all, and from a distance, it looks like a mountain that has been cut into six sides. Countless rooms have been carved out of this peak, and the square in front of the tower is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

The six corners of the alchemy tower are pure metal, and they are engraved with magical characters. This common pattern has an indescribable shocking effect when placed on the alchemy pagoda. This tower is probably more than fifty floors, and even if the dozens of floors above it are slightly shorter, they are definitely more than two hundred meters high.

These six metal edges and corners are like spears inserted into the sky, above the ninth floor, there is also a covered bridge in the air, passing through the tower body, leading in all directions.

The covered bridge is an ancient architectural style, it is said that in the era of the Second Dynasty in Yanjing, some urban covered bridges were dozens of miles long, and horse-drawn carriages could run in the closed covered bridges.

Alchemy City does not have a ten-story magic tower, but this alchemy tower is definitely the highest in the entire Mels Continent. The first church of the Holy See would be half as tall as this building.

It's not pride, it's already arrogance. If you stand at the top of this building, will you feel like you are looking down on all beings?

Saleen knew that this arrogance was wrong, but in his heart he longed to own the tall building. At least this time, he'd buy one of the tallest rooms here.

Looking at the main gate, which was nearly ten meters high, Salin secretly warned himself that this was just an ordinary building, except for its tallness, there was nothing like Rafal's ten-story magic tower. Being so excited is not the reaction of a magician. If it were humans tens of thousands of years ago, it would not be difficult to build such a structure.

No matter how tall this building is, the mages of Alchemy City have not built it into a magic tower, and even the name of it is just like a large alchemy laboratory. Above the ninth floor, there are residences that can be sold, which can only show that the magicians of Alchemy City are not really prepared to face the gods.

"Sumano, take me to the place where the house is sold. "Salin didn't want to look at it anymore, this alchemy tower was an extremely contradictory thing, on the one hand, both in size and height, the alchemy tower surpassed the largest building in the Holy See. On the other hand, the Alchemy Pagoda does not really have a bottom line beyond the gods.

This is a mixture of self-confidence and inferiority, self-confidence comes from the power of the magician, and inferiority is because this power is still declining, and the magician no longer has the courage of humans tens of thousands of years ago to declare war on the gods.

Now the magicians of the Myers Continent rely on the rules of the plane, and after the fall of the goddess, no god can come to the Myers Continent in person.

A thought suddenly popped up in Salin's mind, if it was Rex, would he build a magic tower that would make the gods unbearable? If Rex provoked the gods, would he continue to be with her?

The interior of the first floor of the Alchemy Pagoda feels similar in size to the plaza outside, and there are no obvious pillars. Looking up at the dome, a huge and incomparable magic array supported the space above the first floor. Salin didn't see any grooves in this magic array, but the operation of such a large magic array must not only rely on the elemental power absorbed by the magic array itself.

It seems to be the structure in the magic formula of Figaro, Salin did not calculate it carefully, this magic array is too complicated, it should be spread out the weight of the dozens of layers above, so that hundreds of thick metal pillars hidden in the walls can bear it.

If the scale were reduced to a tenth, Saleen would have designed it himself. Even if it was such a huge structure in front of him, in thirty or fifty years, the mages of Ceylon City would be able to build the same huge tower according to the drawings.

There are not many people in the first floor, and there is no pattern of the most common professional union on the mainland. In the hall, in addition to the part against the wall, there are some small houses in the middle, like closed counters. Saleen is fond of these small houses, which are surrounded by magical plants.

"Lord Salin, do you really want to buy the house in this alchemy tower?" Su Manno asked repeatedly, he didn't want to bring a stunned young man with no money, if he was implicated, he would be thrown back to his hometown, and he would never be allowed to come to the alchemy city to earn a living again.

"Rest assured, we can afford it. "Saleen understands Sumano very well.

"Then, come with me. Sumano led Saleen and the others through the hall to a door on the side. He said euphemistically: "Lord Salin, in Alchemy City, you can't joke at will. The price of the house in this alchemy tower will not be less than five million gold coins. ”

"Gold coins don't mean anything to a mage. Salin was not angry, and he replied tactfully to Sumano.

In the trading of items above level 7, the mage does not care whether there are gold coins or not, as long as you can come up with materials or equipment of the same price.

The door in front of him opened, and Saleen followed Sumano inside. This is a winch-like lifting machine, which is generally used in mines. However, the alchemy tower is too high, and low-level mages are afraid that they will be tired and half dead if they want to climb it.

"Go to the tenth floor. Sumano said to a magic circle inside the lifting machine.

The sound of a rattling metal noose resounded above the lifting machine, and for safety reasons, there was no silent barrier in the lifting machine.

The machine slowly rose, and the taste in Salin's heart was complicated. The reason he became a magician was that Jason wanted to buy his house, which gave him the opportunity to embark on the path of magic.

Now that he is a great magician, he has to buy his own house. The difference between before and after is like a world away.

Rex also wanted to have a house here, in the heart of Alchemy City. But she's from the Grykos family, so it's a bit unrealistic. When she signed the purchase contract, it must be a magic contract, and once she said her full name, I was afraid that it would cause a lot of trouble.

It's not bad to let Salin buy it, Salin's teacher is a person from Alchemy City, in a sense, Salin can join Alchemy City at any time and become a mage who is not bound by the state.

After about seventy or eighty meters of height, the metal winch at the top of the tower stopped working. The door opened, and Saleen straightened his robes and asked Rex, "How many can you sell?"

Rex knew that Saleen was talking about the construction puppet, and she still had five unmutated construction puppets in her hand, and after thinking about it, Rex said: "Two pieces, it's really not good, that set of scrapped parts can also be counted." ”
