Chapter 305: The Valley Falls from the Sky (8000, Dazhang asks for a monthly pass~)
The Muyin airship crossed the Seven Cities Alliance's North Mountain Route, flew out of the shadow of the planet, and sailed towards the oncoming morning light.
Crystal blue, like a brilliant gem, Muyin is one of the few high-speed spaceships in Terra that can be smoothly lifted into outer space orbit, its prototype comes from the anti-gravity spaceship of the pre-era civilization, originally built as an aerospace aircraft carrier, but because of the small size of the shield, it cannot block the attack of the fourth level sublimator, so it was changed to the official diplomatic airship of the Empire.
Standing on the deck of this imperial jewel, Isengard felt the thin air in mid-air, looking down at the speckled mountains and cities beneath the airship, his mind was a little complicated.
He knew the dream of his friend Yoon Eun, and he also knew that he wanted to go to the heavens...... He developed his territory, built industries, and built a complete alchemy park in order to build one such airship...... Probably a stronger airboat.
But after all, it's all the same, this kind of technology, this kind of thinking, has long existed on this land, but because it doesn't have any meaning, it won't be taken seriously.
At the end of the day, what is there among the stars that is worth all the effort to explore?
When people are still busy fighting each other on the earth, hating each other, and despising each other, what can go to the heavens prove?
If you just want to show your strength, wouldn't it be nice to become a fifth-level powerhouse?
In fact, he knows far more than anyone thinks.
Yin Eun once told him that if there were no prison heaven, the dark sky would be full of shining stars, and each of those shining stars would be as large and scorching as their sun, and each star had its own star field galaxy, where there were countless planets, and there was probably countless other life on the planet.
Yin Eun once told him that in the vast depths of the universe, there are landscapes that are difficult for humans to see: a huge crimson star slowly expanding, engulfing all its children; Dazzling flames erupted from the core of a faint star, spreading dozens of light-years away, still scorching; Inside a nebula, which looks extremely large and gorgeous from a distance, there are likely to be a few terrifying stars that flicker with infinite pulses that distort all signals that come close to the surrounding area......
Yoon Eun and he expounded these things. Full of desire, full of passion.
As Yoon's friend, Esengard wants to understand each other and be touched by each other's dreams...... But after his silence, he still said his truest opinion.
"But, Yoon, do what you say."
At that time, Isengard said, "Isn't the universe like hell? It's cold, it's quiet, it's dangerous, it takes the strongest ship and the most powerful force to cross to the other side—and it's completely unknown, not necessarily rewarding, not necessarily pleasant, very likely dangerous, waiting all the time, and most of the time it's boring."
"Nowadays, people need to work hard to even eat enough, and even whether they will be alive tomorrow has to put a question mark...... Is that really something to look forward to?"
"Of course it's not worth looking forward to. That's why I'm angry."
So Yoon replied with a logic that he couldn't understand, "That's why I'm here to solve this problem. Whether it's heavenly or earthly, what's outside the human heart or what's within the human heart, I'll settle it all."
"Then, we'll go far away."
「…… Does that make sense?"
Isengard never understood this, and it was because he was Yoon's true friend that he asked, "Everything I have experienced has become small and illusory compared to all the grandeur you have spoken. But these things that are small and empty are the lives that most people experience......
He looked up at the sky with a few stars with Yin Eun, and muttered softly, "The vastness of the universe and the smallness before my eyes, Yin Eun, I feel empty and empty.
"It's as if I'm dying here right now, and there's no point. No, what is the point of the entire destruction of Terra compared to the vast universe in your mouth?"
"It's really meaningless, compared to the universe, human beings and civilization are inherently garbage
The same thing exists only by chance, and survives because of good luck."
And Yin Eun said calmly: "But even mosquitoes and cockroaches have to come out from time to time to disgust people, we are garbage and accidental, what is wrong with small things because they have existed by chance for a long time, it is the so-called miracle."
"One day, the universe will be shocked by such miracles."
"Ethan...... Remember. We don't act for the sake of an outcome."
"We're just moving in what we think is the right direction."
The right direction.
Esengard is thinking about these five words right now.
What is right in his mind?
He is the son of a nobleman, he is of royal blood, Isengard is the test subject of secret experiments that have been passed down since the time of Yin Naga II, and he has the power of the black sun in his body, and has the blood of the beast of a thousand stars and the sun god bird.
His very existence is more meaningful than many people.
It's just that this meaning, as Yin En said, compared to the entire universe, the entire Terra, is just the luck that other strong people don't care too much, so they can barely exist.
INTERVIEWER What kind of world can be called right?
Thinking about this, Isengard suddenly felt that the mark of the sun god bird on his forehead began to shine, it began to glow, it became hot, and it became more powerful—it was awakened by a great desire, a great dream and a longing.
Therefore, let the young nobles understand.
"I see......
Isengard raised his head, he stood tens of thousands of meters in the air, overlooking the coastline of the Tranquil Sea of the Terra Continent, and muttered to himself, "It turns out that all the fifth-level powerhouses are thinking about this problem, they are all thinking, they are all searching...... are building a heart of their own."
"The right world."
That's why wars come and go.
"Yin Naga II......
Touching his forehead, although the U-shaped mark of the Sun God Bird there had been a little dim, Isengard sighed, "Why do you want to go to the high heavens?"
Naturally, there was no answer. If there is an answer, it is Isengard who should be frightened.
The airship is gradually sailing into the quiet sea area mastered by the capital of knowledge, and the air and space armor of the capital of knowledge has come to greet it.
A sleek steel queue guarded the airship from afar, and the other passengers on board stepped out of the hatch and onto the deck, ready to enjoy the beauty of the capital of learning.
Nature. The City of Knowledge held two continent-level meetings, the "Terra Psionic Seminar" and the "Demon Technology Control Consultation Conference", and the envoy sent by the Empire could not be just Isengard. It's better to say that as a special guest, Isengard is the more special one.
It was precisely because he couldn't adapt to the atmosphere of that group of imperial nobles that he stayed on the deck alone.
It's a pity that the silence is gone again.
Isengard straightened his collar and prepared to return to the cabin for the next landing...... But I vaguely heard a conversation about him coming from the other side of the cabin.
"Speaking of which, that guy from the Eren family is not a psyker, nor is he a big person, why was he invited to the City of Knowledge?"
It was the voice of a young imperial nobleman, who should have been the viscount of the Anlotte family.
He is a psionic, psionic energy is the ability to form a clone with flames, and make himself jump between clones, whether it is a battle or a daily life is very convenient, especially Viscount Anlot's young age, and now it is a world war, and it is likely to be promoted by virtue of his exploits on the battlefield.
Isengard didn't recognize each other, but it was clear that not knowing each other would stop the malice of others.
"yes." Other voices said, "There are only a few invitations in the entire empire, and he has one ...... And I remember that the heir of the generation of the Ellen family is not him, how did this guy get involved?"
"Lady Avrina is guess
side of the channel. But if you want me to say, letting people who are not qualified to participate in big events will not get any qualifications, but will become a shame."
This is the arrogance of the psionics over the non-psionics.
Isengard vaguely understood where the inexplicable hostility of this group of people came from - his strength was not strong, only the second level, although the Ellen family had strength, he was not the heir of this generation of family heads, and there would not be much deterrence in front of the nobles who were also powerful.
Even if their mother is a royal daughter, it does not prevent them from disdainful of themselves as a person who "came through the back door".
Normal. Isengard thought. The hostility of this group of people is actually quite cute, compared to the calculations that really happened to him, this simple malice is really fresh enough, like sour lemon juice, harmless and refreshing.
Of course, there is another kind of hostility.
"Guys, you're still young."
A rather loud voice sounded, making everyone can't help but turn their heads sideways to look in that direction, and Isengard also turned his head and found that the other party was the great nobleman of the Western Realm, the fourth level of Count Koma.
Count Komar is not a psyker, but as a nobleman who leads his territory to defend his territory under the invasion of demon legions, he has the honor of participating in the Demon Technology Conference in the City of Learning as a representative of the Empire.
His bloodline form is the "Sleepless Giant Elephant", a rare giant demonic beast bloodline, and under the influence of the bloodline form, he is more than three meters tall and looks a little fat, but in fact he is all strong muscles.
At this moment, the earl, with his short gray hair and maroon eyes, looked at Isengard and said in a kind-sounding but extremely targeted tone, "You must not underestimate our young master of the Eren family...... He's a friend of the second generation of Immovable Fortification, Mahdi Glen."
"The young powerhouse who defeated the emperor's eldest grandson and the younger generation of other countries, and is now famous."
"Although the Empire has banished the Knights of the Glen, who knows if there is any connection in private? Now that communication is so advanced, maybe he was on the deck just now, communicating with his friends?"
"That's why he was invited...... Otherwise, with the intention of the Empire, how could he be sent to the Capital of Learning?"
Although he didn't say anything, he hinted at the secret relationship between Isengard and the Imperial Exiles.
If Isengard hadn't been fine, but he really had a secret tune, it would be a bit bad.
What's worse is that he doesn't really have a very firm label for himself.
If he is 100% on the side of the Mahdi, the empire will not do anything to him...... I have to leave the empire on the side, not a communication channel for Yin Eun's brothers.
But on the surface, he seems to have something to do with Mahdi just because he has a relationship with Yoon, and he is not that good.
This will make people think differently, and even think that he is just a speculator and looks down on him.
- When others say that you are related to the Emperor's appointee exile, you'd better really have a relationship.jpg
This is actually one of the embarrassments that Isengard has encountered recently.
During the trip to the Xenomorph Research Institute, Isengard, Yin Eun, and Anfa all interacted with "Mahdi Glen", and were apparently members of the same team.
Yin Enna is a prophet, not to mention that he has a secret communication with the exiles of the empire, even if he really calls his senior brother every day in his own territory, then few people dare to listen to it - he is still the leader of the Nanling victory, but if he still wants to go to the south in the future, it is best to pretend not to see it.
Anfana is the princess of the blood of the ten kings of Canaan Moor, and the princess of the victor's side, and may be the successor of the fifth level in the future...... What accusations do the people of the empire use for this identity? Accusing foreigners of engaging with their exiled Knights of the Glen? It's a matter of course!
You must know that the black princess Ge Lan, who abandoned the darkness and accepted the blood of the ancestor of the national domain, once directly used herself as a bargaining chip to invite the knight of the valley to join.
Only Isengard is an imperial man,
The nobility of the empire, who is not strong, is not yet a local lord...... His friendship with Mahdi naturally led to the contraction of his circle of connections in the imperial capital.
No one wants to be noticed by His Majesty the Emperor because of this.
Although he has no influence in the academic circle, in the aristocratic circle, he is indeed more difficult to become.
This is also the reason why Yin En and Esengard have considered letting him go to Nanling, and now in this situation, the Yinfeng Leader is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a need for other leading managers, and Esengard also has to reduce his sense of existence.
As for this Count of Koma, why is there such a big dissatisfaction with Isengard and Mahdi......
Very simple. He is a typical nobleman who was robbed of a lot of post-war reconstruction orders by Yinfeng, and looked at Yin En and Mahdi were unhappy.
"Count Koma."
So Isengard frowned slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "I have been invited by the Chief Scholar of the City of Learning, the Scholar of Krizen, please be careful."
"As for your accusations, I will write them all down, and when I return to the imperial capital in the future, we can have a good talk in the noble court."
"Hehe, young people don't have such a temper."
Count Koma sneered, "Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a coincidence, I also have the same mission to go to the Capital of Knowledge this time."
"The Knight of the Valley is so powerful because the First Knight has given him all his inheritance, many of which are the resources of the Empire...... It is said that there is also the inheritance of those royal families that the First Knight took away during the Dark Moon Turmoil."
"Those inheritances don't matter, the most important thing is that His Majesty the First Emperor supported the First Horseman's research on the 'Extreme Domain', and it must not be lost. It was the result of the pouring of resources from the entire empire, and the Knight of the Valley could not be left alone."
"When I meet with the Knight of the Vale this time, I'm going to ask for an explanation."
"Indeed!" "Indeed, it should be so!"
The other Imperial nobles and emissaries followed suit.
In this regard, Isengard did not feel any pressure, but felt a little funny.
It's so classic, whether it's the Count of Koma or the other nobles, it's just right arrogant and egotistical.
After staying with smart people for a long time, Isengard forgot that the Terra continent is so big, there are so many nobles, and there are not many ***, and you still think that it is not possible in the Datong world?
But in fact, it is not necessarily stupid.
Isengard stepped aside silently, his "soft" reaction made it impossible for Count Komar and the others to continue the conversation.
And with the increasingly powerful sense of sensibility, Isengard also sensed that these nobles in front of him were not really discouraged, but had a sense of relief of "goal completion".
It's possible that Count Komar and the others really came with a mission...... They are laying the ground, gathering momentum.
When they arrived in the capital of knowledge, they could use their own excuse to call Mahdi out to confront him.
Regardless of whether they can ask for the relevant technology of the Extreme Domain, they can also suppress the arrogance of this second-generation immovable fortified city, and then take the lead in the next negotiations.
But thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty about the Scholar Kryzen who had made the invitation list public—the leader of the City of Knowledge was simply trying to stir things up, so he let everyone know before the meeting began, and Mahdi Glen would also be here as an observer of the Dragon Isle!
"I wish I had been a prophet too."
After complaining in his heart, Isengard sighed and thought, "According to Yoon Eun's own words, he can see whose purpose and whose emotions at a glance...... I'm so envious."
At this moment, under the guidance of the Sky Armor, the Muyin is gradually descending, stepping over layers of artificial cloud walls, approaching the mainland of the capital of knowledge.
After the clouds, there are the clouds. This is a barrier, but also a natural phenomenon, the land of clouds is the collection of surrounding water and aerial plankton, forming a huge aerial biosphere.
When the sapphire-like airship pierced through the stratus clouds, and the last misty barrier was also broken by the bow of the airship, Isengard, who was a little annoyed in his heart, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
One
A whole new world unfolds before his eyes.
First of all, you will be greeted by a series of necklace-like islands in the sky, with three concentric circles of circular islands distributed over the outer layer, each lush and covered with bizarre fluffy empty plants.
Around the island chain, there are a large number of large birds like giant shearwaters, which are family units, flying around the sky island in twos and threes, driving the rare light wind in the high altitude and making a pleasant long song.
The outermost island chain has the lowest height, and the clouds supporting the second island chain are constantly flowing, falling like a heavenly river in the direction of the first island chain, forming a structure similar to a champagne tower, and the top layer of this champagne tower, that is, the center of the third island chain, is a vast aerial world.
That's the floating continent that sits above all the cities of Terra, even the mountain peaks.
The capital of the capital of knowledge, the "Heavenly Capital".
The swirling clouds continued to roll, and from a distance, it looked like a white cloud tornado was holding the entire continent in the air, and thousands of towers stood above the city, and dense buildings surrounded the towers, forming one small town after another.
This is the destination of their operation.
Even after seeing the majesty of the Imperial Capital and the grandeur of the World Tree Capital, the shock given by the Capital of Knowledge was completely new, not only Isengard, but even other imperial nobles with ulterior motives before were silently staring at the sky city in the distance at this moment, their faces in awe, and they were proud that they had been invited to set foot here.
And Isengard looked more closely.
He saw that the entire capital of knowledge was divided into hundreds of towns around the spire, and that the floating islands in the sky were connected by overpasses and small airboats. Small airboats resembling schools of fish form the main arteries of this aerial city, transporting all kinds of supplies.
Huge cargo ships are accelerated from the surface to tens of thousands of meters above the ground by means of special anti-gravity launchers, they come to the corresponding cargo dumping area, open the hatch, and the cargo like rain is submerged into the corresponding warehouse with a special guiding force field - all of this is automated, completely different from the current style of Terra.
And he also found that the towers in the center of the city are not just research institutes for scholars - they are actually acceleration towers, and those single-man airships are sprayed out from the top of the towers, gaining initial acceleration, like a fountain, allowing these airships to row an arc to various parts of the sky city, and then slowly move along the air road, recharge or go home.
The entire capital of knowledge is a giant aerial vehicle base - protected by a three-tiered island chain, that is, a three-tiered super-giant fortress shield generator, it is a fortress that will always be suspended above the quiet sea!
It's no wonder that even the madness of the Flying Flame Land never invades the corner of the capital of knowledge next to it...... Even the crazy Flame Kings knew very well that even if the Terra countries did not come to their aid, just with the power of the Heavenly Capital City, it was not something that the two fifth-level could conquer.
As for now...... The Stronghold Shield Generator on the three island chains is being replaced, which is the Planetary Shield Launcher from the Imperial Capital.
This city that does not fall will soon be the second immovable city in the sky!
"Super Giant Air Base ......"
Isengard muttered to himself, "The final form of the Floating City is here."
He fully understood why the Imperial Capital's Floating City could be put into practical use so quickly—because all the technology had been proven for a long time, but the Empire was the only force willing to pay a great price to acquire it.
The Muyin is slowly descending, and the area where they will land is the "Messenger's Island", which has been cobbled together by the Capital of Learning for the envoys who have come to the recent conference, and where the envoys and delegates of various countries live in this lush, wooded area and elegant small buildings.
Quite a few people have arrived, scattered around the island to observe the latest wave of new arrivals.
"The Empire's troops?"
"It's slow. These Imperial Elders just don't know what etiquette is."
「
Wait, that blond young man who got off the boat......
After all, this is a time of all-out war, and in order to avoid contradictions, several countries that are fighting do not live together.
Even though the City of Learning had banned fighting with each other, that didn't stop them from going out of their way to the common area to provoke each other - it was a kind of greeting from Terra.
However, when everyone saw Isengard, their eyes tilted towards him.
There was not even the whispering on the airship before, only the burning eyes from all over the country and all the major forces.
- Why is everyone paying attention to me?
After noticing this, Isengard also felt a little nervous...... He originally felt a little uncomfortable staying in the imperial capital, so he simply left to go to the capital of knowledge, but when he arrived in the capital of knowledge, he still had to be watched, and he couldn't understand why at all.
No...... Actually, it's quite obvious.
After shaking off the initial panic, Isengard quickly reacted to why these people were watching him.
Or because of Mahdi.
All of them were aiming for Mahdi...... It's all Yoon.
Whether enemies of the Empire or allies of the Empire, dwarves or elves, subhumans or sea descendants, everyone is very interested in the legacy of the First Horseman.
Some want to be close to themselves, and some want to do something for themselves...... Taking advantage of Mahdi's absence, he is the best breakthrough.
(I see...... It seems that there are many people who peek into Yin Eun's inheritance and the study of the First Knight)
Isengard slowly stepped off the airship without squinting, he knew very well that as long as he didn't do superfluous things at this moment, there would be absolutely no problem - the people of the major forces paid attention to him, just because his strength was relatively low, as long as he opened a gap from himself, then the knight of the valley who theoretically had no dead ends might also reveal flaws.
Unless...... Some people already know through various channels that they have a special bloodline about Yin Naga II in their bodies.
They were just paying attention to themselves in the name of the Knight of the Valley, and they were actually peeking into the bloodline memory of the Black Sun......
Anything is possible.
Isengard knew that when he chose to come to the City of Knowledge, he would inevitably face such a peep and test.
[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
It lights up, dyeing the surrounding white clouds with a layer of surging red.
It left a clear red scratch in the sky with a straight trajectory, the atmosphere was pierced, the wind spread in all directions, and the thick atmosphere was also cut and separated, like a white cloth cut by scissors.
The valley fell from the sky.
Rumble!
!
A few seconds before the final landing, the crimson glow slowed down, and it landed on Yingbin Island at a seemingly slow and fast speed, bringing with it a monstrous wave and shock wave, instantly blowing almost everyone away, mainly the group of people from the Heavenly Royal Court who had begun to approach.
Most of the people were blown into the forests of Yingbin Island, and a few of them seemed to be blown into the air or even outside the island...... Anyway, there is no danger to the lives of the people in the capital of knowledge to take care of it, and the owner of the light doesn't care too much.
And after the shock wave and smoke, a majestic dark golden dragon appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Standing next to Isengard, who was clearly in the center, but was not swept away by the shock wave.
- You've got the timing right, aren't you? Isengard's eyes gestured.
- I hung in the sky for two days, just to wait for you to arrive, and I will see if anyone has ulterior motives. Yin En replied with a look in his eyes: (Don't be careless, there was really malice against you in the crowd just now, and they probably really noticed some clues of your blood)
Isengard understood very well, and he hid behind the dragon very naturally.
[I'm sorry. It may be a little unsure of the strength. 】
The dark golden dragon said in a calm voice: "I seem to have sensed that someone seems to want to be against me and my friend just now - who is it, can you stand up and talk to me? 】
Although the statement is humble, no one feels that the Knight of the Glen ...... Or rather, the real dragon in front of him is humble.
Yoon Eun never embarrassed his friends. He also never allowed anyone who embarrassed him and his friends to feel good.
Dark golden eyes swept across the audience to see if any stunned young man really dared to stand up—or not take a step back.
At that time, Yin Enke would definitely not be polite, and would give him a hard shot.
Even the powerhouses of the same fourth energy level frowned and retreated slightly, unwilling to face the edge.
The Plaza fell silent as it welcomed its most distinguished guests.
