Chapter 7: Wandering the City of Babel

On the empty boat, there was nothing to do all the way.

By the time Russell had been able to see the resplendent Sun Island, there had been no accidents...... Only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that the "event remaster" he is worried about will not come. Probably.

"I have to say that the decoration style of Sun Island is much more gorgeous than that of Happy Island."

Russell admired the strange scenery outside the window and couldn't help but admire: "While being a local tyrant, there is also a sense of sacredness......"

If we talk about the characteristics of Happiness Island, it is the difference between the upper and lower urban areas...... The Shangcheng District, which is full of greenery and snow-capped mountains under the sunshine, and the Xiacheng District, which stands densely in the shadows, distinguish heaven and hell with only one line, giving people a strange shock like the reflection on the surface of a lake.

- Then, the style of Sun Island is "brilliant and brilliant".

From the outside, the whole of Sun Island is golden.

It is not a standard disc type like Happiness Island and Sogo Island, but a slightly smaller circle of golden discs is held up at the three corners of the empty island, and the outer diameter of the empty island is perfectly divided into three sections of equal length.

Subsequently, at the corners of each small disc, three smaller discs were propped up.

And on top of each of the nine medium discs, there are three smaller discs. Each of the smallest discs is about two-thirds the size of the Tianen Park. Each disc rotates slowly, while the larger disc rotates at a slower speed.

The smallest twenty-seven discs can make one revolution in about a day, the nine medium-sized discs make one revolution in about a month, the three larger discs do not rotate once a year, and the island of the sun itself does not rotate. The higher you go, the more you can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, and the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.

The outer shells of these discs are all golden. Viewed from the outside of the Sky Island, it seems to be a magnificent machine that narrates eternity, as if it were spinning like this forever. The water pumped from below is converted into clean water and transported to the higher levels. The cooling water that flows down from the edge of the rotating high-rise city is like a waterfall, pouring on the lower level of the city, making the next layer of the city more primitive and natural.

The higher the area, the more modern and integrated it becomes.

The twenty-seven discs that are lifted up to the top of the disc are dense high-rise buildings like the lower city of Happiness Island; The nine discs in the middle are bustling commercial areas like the compass area and the giant curtain area. The next three discs are a moon-white, artistically shaped post-modern building complex, as well as a large-scale, sapphire-like pond and planned greenery, which is reminiscent of the interior of the Tian'en Park.

The lowest layer, the entire empty island itself, is full of natural beauty.

It wasn't a wilderness, it was a perfectly planned wildernessβ€”a huge garden of fantastical beauty.

Circle after circle, in different colors, in groups of four, six, eight, twelve, twenty flower beds, statues, and minarets form a pattern with a central symmetry, and when viewed from above, it looks like a handmade wool carpet with extremely intricate patterns.

Russell had never seen a picture of such grandeur.

It was a splendid picture drawn on an entire empty island on paper.

One after another gigantic palaces stand in the center of the scroll, surrounded by many clear streams that run through the huge metropolitan area. The twelve towers scattered around the city, and the huge minaret in the middle of the castle, formed a primordial corona.

And the twelve towers and the huge minaret in the center are actually huge bell towers.

No matter which floor is on top of the disc, there is also a dense bell tower.

Just by getting closer to the past, you can faintly hear the click of the hands on the clock.

In front of it, Happiness Island can only be called simple.

The automatic factories in its lower town are significantly less than those on Happiness Island, not as prominent, and not as lit up. It looks like a mechanical base underneath a giant clock.

"Gorgeous indeed."

Bad Day also nodded in agreement: "It's indeed a sin." ”

"Because it's too extravagant, right?"

Russell admired the city of discs and whispered.

The big white dog snorted and sighed lightly: "That's true."

"That's a luxury that the residents of Taoyuan Island, Happiness Island, and Sogo Island can't imagine."

"How?"

"β€”because, in fact, there are less than a thousand people living on the island of the sun."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ A thousand? ”

"More than 880 to be exact."

Bad Sun said in a deep voice.

More than 800 elves and about 60 humans at the pinnacle of power formed the "Secretary Committee".

Including the high-level of "Thotreonic Energy", and some elves who do not serve the company. Humanity comes from the Thothic Board of Directors, as well as some of the upper echelons of the Cyber Church.

They are the unique "secretary class" on Sun Island.

"They are said to be 'secretaries', but they are responsible for guarding not only books, but the entire 'old era', including antiques and cultural relics.

"The splendid city is full of antiques and artifacts from the old era, and samples of all kinds of ancient technology are stored.

"The great gardens outside the city, every plant and tree in them are taken from the times when they were not yet destroyed. Unlike the natural scenery of Taoyuan Island, where plants and beasts are located, these plants are more like solidified specimens. It maintains the posture that it can be transplanted to the ground at any time, and does not reproduce or mutate. ”

Like fake flowers and grass, it is quiet to a frightening degree.

The entire empty island is completely free of mosquitoes and wild beasts. Only the rustle of the leaves through the breeze and the soft sound of the river.

Time seems to stand still here.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's like a gene pool. ”

Russell was a little surprised: "Does the dragon allow them to do this?" ”

"The dragon forbade humans and newborn elves to study history, nor did they allow it to be written in books. But they did not destroy the history that existed, nor did they let the elves who already knew it die violently.

In other words, they just don't want history to spread.

"And what Sun Island has done happens to be on the bottom line of the dragon.

"The Isle of the Sun is home to all the books that the elves can collect. They put together all the knowledge of the old era that they had preserved when they fled to the Sky Island, and formed a huge 'Sun Library'. And the knowledge here is not allowed to go in...... The very few humans who are allowed to enter cannot leave the Sun Library once they enter it, and they can no longer access the Internet. In this way, the dragon's ban can be circumvented.

"Everybody knows what they're secretly researching. But these ancient intellectuals hid secrets, did not tell anyone, did not seek any allies, and just settled in a corner.

"In addition to the canons in the church's 'temple' and the historical documents stored in the 'mage tower' on the ground, this is the most likely place to store the historical truth."

Bad Sun also looked at Sun Island and said softly.

Russell was a little surprised: "Then why ......?"

"It's weird, isn't it? The Tower of Babel never attacked the Sun Library. ”

Bad Day smiled: "It's like ......"

"It's like you knew from the beginning that there wasn't anything you wanted."

Russell interrupted, "When you assassinated those directors, you even avoided Tholt's Spiritual Energy, and you didn't hurt any directors who belonged to Thoth's Spiritual Energy.

"Considering that Babel was able to get the help of Director Amirus......

"Thothling can have something to do with the Tower of Babel."

"You should say that the Tower of Babel has something to do with Thotranic."

Bad Day corrected.

Russell raised his eyebrows: "Didn't the Tower of Babel exist at the time of the Sharia War?" And Thotronics was only established in the Sky Island era. ”

"It's true that the Big Seven came into existence after the beginning of the Sky Island Era, but Thothling is different."

Bad Sun shook his head: "In the earthly era, Thothic energy has already been born. At that time they were called the Alliance of Stargazers. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Stargazing? ”

Hearing this, Russell was stunned for a moment.

Bad Day also smiled helplessly: "Yes." There are only a few stars, not as bright as the sun and not as warm as the moon. Don't know what's there to see. ”

…… Indeed it is.

The sky in this world is gray, there are not a few stars to be seen, and naturally there can be no "astrology".

Russell pursed his lips.

He vaguely realized something.

"Didn't you ask me where the Tower of Babel is and what it looks like?"

Bad Sun chuckled and pointed to the disc on Sun Island with his chin: "No." See? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You mean, the Tower of Babel was also a disc? ”

"Externally, it's pretty much the same. It's all like this, a golden disc.

"The deer head called the Tower of Babel 'the Tower of Babel'. It can silently adhere to the lower city of any floating city from below, and maintain its operation by stealing the city's energy. Don't you think this situation is very similar to the disc on Sun Island? ”

Bad Day smiled casually: "You don't have to think about it, you know that this kind of technology is not something that ordinary people can obtain."

"And as you say...... The Tower of Babel was built much earlier than the appearance of the Sky Island. When the main body of Sun Island was still a mage tower, there was no such first disc and second disc at all.

"There is no doubt that the people who built these discs. It is the same person who built the Tower of Babel in the first place.

"He's supposed to be one of Thothron's directors...... I suspect it could be their chairman. ”

"Chairman?"

"Yes. Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nitibas...... The fate is the name attack spirit of [Star]. ”

Bad Day slowly uttered a rather awkward name: "Ridiculous fate, right." ”
