Chapter 560: The Floating City, the Name of the Difficult to Sue
The first to take the field were ten elven mages from Comanso, whose age was not evident from their appearances alone, but their spells were limited to 8 rings or less, and they were not necessarily able to gain an advantage compared to previous matches.
But the problem is that [Grand Illusion] is not just an arcane competition, it is more like an art performance, and in the field of art, without a long history and deep heritage, it is difficult for both humans and gnomes to compete with it.
When the ten elven mages stood in the center of the arena, a series of eyes were projected on them with admiration, disgust, joy, or expectation.
The spell hadn't even begun, and just the elves themselves were a manifestation of the Creator's art, and the bottom of the diamond-shaped crystal was already filled with a crimson mist.
When the spell began, the arena suddenly changed its scene, the night sky was dark, but the lights around it were bright, like day, and the song of joy could be faintly heard drifting in the wind.
In the distance, towers are lined up, connected by suspended corridors, connected like bridges, or moving like ships, with the occasional elf riding a pegasus back and forth.
After that, the perspective zoomed in, and it fell to a palace on the ground, where countless elves stood in the square in front of the palace, looking ahead with reverence, which was the scene of the royal coronation.
But this scene is not fully displayed, and then the perspective zooms out again, far enough to see the city in full view, and everyone realizes that it is actually a miracle city suspended in the sky and overlooking the earth.
Such a scene, even if Xia Duo had seen the bustling city of the ancient elves in the [Projection Plane - Meyerita Sukanvisa City], he had to admit that this floating city really shocked him.
Xia Duo is like this, and other people who haven't even seen what the elven kingdom looks like should be even more surprised!
The illusion finally freezes on a far-sighted image of the floating city, before it fades away, and the surrounding scene changes back to reality, and the arena is silent.
"Green Sword Fairy"
Xia Duo himself recalled the scene he had just seen, which was a bit similar to the VR picture on the earth, which was indeed quite exquisite, spectacular, and novel, but there was still a lingering sense of falsehood.
Such a large scene, it is difficult to build it perfectly with only ten mages, if it is used against the enemy, it is easy to find flaws, and when it is used for performance, it is impossible to hide the flaws.
Looking at the diamond-shaped crystal in the center of the arena, the lower part was almost filled with a dense and constantly churning red mist, this was the first game, Xia Duo couldn't tell whether this result was good or bad, but after watching the performance, he felt that those gnomes might be hanging.
……
"What a floating city like a miracle!"
On the throne, Princess Xiya praised without hesitation, but then said, "This floating city should not be real!" ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, although the Floating City they showed just now is not real, but ten thousand years ago, the elves did build a Floating City."
As soon as Suveris's words were finished, the other elf was displeased, and the representative of Ilfarang, who had only arrived on the third day of the snowmelt competition, and the High Mage Tyron, immediately sneered:
"Comanso has been established for less than a thousand years, how can we know what happened 10,000 years ago?"
It is true that Comanso was founded less than a thousand years ago, but many of the superior families have existed since 10,000 years ago, but Suveris did not refute it, he knew that Ilfarão was ten times more old than Comanso, and even survived the brutal War of the Crown.
But history does not equal national strength, and there is no point in arguing about this, but he stopped talking, and Master Tyran still did not miss any opportunity to hit Comanso:
"Ten thousand years ago, there were elves who did try to build a floating city, but they didn't succeed, and in the end they just built a floating fortress that could barely fly. Soveris, do you know who built that floating fortress? ”
Suveris continued to be silent, for he really did not know, only that there might have been a floating city in history.
However, Princess Thea was quite interested in this, and asked, "Master Tyran, who built the Floating Fortress in the first place?" ”
"I don't dare to say their original names, as for their current names, Suveris should be very familiar, didn't they just break through one of your defenses some time ago!"
- Drow!
Everything that should have been known about what happened on the side of Comanso was already known by now, especially Suveris, who was surprised that Taryn knew about the battle on the front line at home, and was surprised that Tyron had mentioned that Drow had built a floating fortress.
I had the heart to ask, but I couldn't put it down, so I just snorted coldly and didn't pay attention to the other party anymore.
As for the others, it is not convenient to continue to ask questions on such occasions now, but they just keep this matter in mind and ask again when they have time later.
……
On the field, Elcamun cleared the diamond crystal detection record, and then announced that the match would resume, and the next to appear was Mage Yerlan.
After the ten Yerlan mages stood still, they did not start immediately, but paused for a while, just like Master Komanso, and it was this moment that also won them some of the crimson mist in the diamond-shaped crystal.
Moreover, since most of these ten Yerlan mages were moon elves, and most of the spectators in the arena were humans, compared to the pale golden skin of the Komansokin elves, the white skin of the moon elves was obviously more in line with human aesthetics.
Elves are both male and female, and humans don't need to tell whether they are male or female.
And the illusion of Master Yerlan, in a way, is also more in line with human tastes than the illusion of Master Komanso-
In the forest, a team of elven warriors is marching rapidly, the perspective is far away, countless elven warriors are rushing to the battlefield, and in the center of the battlefield, the two armies are still fighting with the corpses and plasma of the same kind.
Sword and magic, light and shadow are intertwined, and a cruel and bloody war scene is revealed.
And this is not over, the perspective continues to zoom out, and with a dark light passing by, the two sides that were originally fighting fall down at the same time, and then slowly stand up again, but they do not continue to fight after they get up, but continue to march in the other direction with more of their kind.
The illusion scene ended, and there was silence in the room, as it had been after Master Comanso's previous performance.
……
Xia Duo quietly wiped the sweat from his palm, and compared to the slightly exaggerated scene of Floating City, this incomparably real killing scene was even more shocking.
On the earth, no matter how bizarre and magnificent the scene, Xia Duo has seen a lot, but compared to the magic landscape, the sense of substitution is not strong.
But there is only one thing that is hard to see on Earth, or more accurately, in Chador's hometown, and that is the real killing scene.
Sword killing, magic killing, countless corpses, plasma, full of substitution, even if Xia Duo has traveled to the present, he has personally experienced some killings, but this kind of pure killing, which seems to have no other purpose, still makes his heart beat faster.
"It's probably only a little bit of plot and sound away from an epic blockbuster!" Shado muttered.
Looking at the "score" again, the crimson mist scale in the diamond-shaped crystal has surpassed the floating city scene performed by Master Komanso before.
Sure enough, it is still bloody, violent, war, and killing, which is more likely to stimulate people's emotions!
