Chapter 169
Moller and Rex were awakened by the dazzling sunlight, and the night had quietly receded while they were asleep, revealing the full picture of Night City in the sun.
The entire City of Night is located in a basin surrounded by mountains. The mountains and the basin are a hundred kilometers in circumference, and the cities in the basin are about half the size of Balembadon, and from a distance, they are all tall and ornate castles.
The flying island stopped on the top of a hill that surrounded the basin, and behind the mountain was a fog that it was impossible to see what it was, and it was the boundary of the secret realm.
Ricky had already activated the flying island and flew towards the basin, and Moller noticed that there were other magical flying machines rising from different peaks, presumably like them, entering the secret realm at night and having to stay where they were and wait for daylight.
There are only a few people who have magic airships, and most of them just ride the magic flying carpet, or rely on magic pets, magic robes or magic armor with flying ability, and some use flying magic directly to get away.
At the speed of the flying island, it soon came to the sky above the city, and then hovered over a duplex castle with a light green dome, where people were already waiting, and a middle-aged man in a ceremonial dress stood by a small lake behind the castle, waving a short wand of light.
Under the command of the short wand, the flying island slowly landed in the center of the small lake, and when the stone base of the flying island fell into the small lake, the entire lake rose three feet high, submerging some of the aquatic plants along the shore, and it looked larger, with an extra island in the middle of the lake.
The middle-aged man who used the short wand, when the flying island stopped, waved the short wand in his hand, and saw thousands of water droplets rising on the surface of the lake, and then these water droplets changed and condensed into small pebbles as clear and beautiful as various rain flower stones, paving a road connecting the flying island and the shore of the lake.
A white and chubby young lady was on the shore, with a dozen male and female attendants on the shore of the lake to greet Ricky and his party. She wore a silver-red gauze dress, her brown head was coiled neatly, and her head was fixed with a string of topaz headdresses, and she was clasping her hands in front of her chest, watching with joy as the Ricky family walked down the magically condensed stone path, an action that made her already broad heart even more spectacular.
"Julie!" Ricky smiled and quickly stepped forward to hug him, followed by Nancy, Brandon had never seen his aunt and was a little shy, but Julie hugged him warmly without waiting for someone to introduce him, "Oh, my lovely little Brandon, you are cuter than you look like in the magic image!"
Then he held Brandon's cheek and called him the little prince, which made Brandon blush even more.
Julie obviously liked her little nephew very much, and took his hand and said a lot of things, and after a while she came back to her senses and looked at the Moeller people walking behind and said, "I have heard Ricky say that since you are friends of little Brandon, you are the most honored guest in my place, and you should not be restrained here, just like in your own home." β
She ignored Milline and Jesse the whole time, much to their embarrassment, but Ricky turned around and smiled to soothe them.
Julie really doesn't seem to like Millen and Jesse for a long time, and directly expresses that the three of them, as the "most honored guests", are each assigned a considerate personal attendant to serve them, while Millen and Jesse don't have this kind of treatment, and they need to find someone by themselves and wait for the arrangement.
But except for some cold reception, the basic treatment is good, each of them was assigned their own room, because Moller and Rex didn't want to live separately, so the two asked for a big room, Brandon teased Rex for being too clingy to his brother, and Rex ignored it.
Daylight in Night City is precious, only eight hours, and many people go out to enjoy the sun at this time, but in a very different way.
Because the nights are long, some people only fall asleep in the second half of the night, and then go out to party and have fun during the day, while others do things all night, and when it comes to the day, they sunbathe and sleep in the sun.
And Moller listened to his personal attendants say that the latter way of living in an upside-down way of day and night is actually the majority in Night City!
"It's the City of Night. Moeller admired, and asked his attendants what was going on at night in Night City.
The squires assigned to Moller and Rex are two young handsome young men, both of whom are gifted in magic, but they are not very talented, and they have not yet become official magicians, but they only know some basic magic such as control and cleansing charms.
The squire did not answer Moeller's question immediately, but said cautiously: "There is one of the most important rules in Night City - no going out at night, no noise, is the first law of the Temple of the Night God, violators will be attacked by divine magic, so there are not many types of night activities here, and they are all held in the dungeon. β
After being introduced by the squire, Moller and Rex realized that most of the buildings in Night City were composed of two parts, above ground and underground, and that the dungeons were even larger than the ground and interconnected, and that the night events were generally concerts and trading auctions.
Night City's concerts are very famous among the real upper echelons of the Visby continent, and the scale of the trading auction is also very large, so it can be said that it has everything.
Speaking of the trade auction, the attendant also pointed to the two pieces of furniture in the room that looked like dressers, and the mirrors were installed in the places where they were decorated with magic crystal plates.
"You can also participate in transactions and auctions here, as long as you have the identity of the magical information world, and then create a corresponding account in the money bank and pay a certain deposit. β
Moller thought that Ricky said that he could help him with the magic crystal card in Night City, and then he should be able to trade the magic crystal board freely.
However, this matter is not urgent, Ricky is reuniting with his relatives after a long absence, and it is not good to disturb him because of other things. As the attendant returned from fetching food and drink, Moller and Rex had a brief meal, and then asked Ereba out to play, who had settled into his quarters.
As soon as they left the castle, the three of them saw that there were many gauze tents in the grass and woods not far from the castle, and the gauze tents looked to be transparent, but due to the magic cast, they could not see the shape inside from the outside, and they asked the attendants to know that this was where the people of Night City basked in the sun and slept during the day.
The place where others slept needed to be quiet, even if the other party's gauze tent was probably set up with soundproofing magic, but this was basic courtesy, so the Moellers left the castle and went out into the streets of the city outside.
The wide cobblestone streets were bustling, and many people who slept at night flocked to the streets to enjoy the sunshine, drink at the roadside bars, or enjoy a good meal, but in addition to Moeller, they saw a very new magic game.
The streets of Night City are filled with many magically conjured monsters, running around the streets, and passing spellers can attack them with magic or magic techniques, but they must reduce their power to the level of basic magic, and then these monsters will chase after the attackers and fight back, and the magic of their counterattack is not as powerful as basic magic, but because of the variety of tricks, it is particularly interesting.
According to the attendants, there are thousands of kinds of magic that these monsters randomly fight back, and there are many cherished rudiments of ancient magic, and fighting them is not only fun, but also can increase knowledge, so many people on the street play this game.
Moller looked amused, and also shot a magic bullet at a small one-man tall earth dragon passing by, only to turn around and spray a puff of purple smoke with a spicy smell at him, causing Moller to cough repeatedly.
Rex laughed and played a cleansing spell, and the Earth Dragon returned a sledgehammer that smashed on the top of his head, although it didn't hurt, but the momentum was amazing.
When Eriba was about to make a move, a passing magician had already cast a spell on the dragon, and the dragon ran after him, so he found another monster with many hands like an octopus, and after a light body spell, the octopus monster spewed out a cloud of colored ink, dyeing his whole body in color.
Since the total magic power of all the monsters does not exceed the 3rd order magic, the magic attacks they feedback are not dangerous, and the lasting effect is not long.
"Ha~~" Eriba yawned, looked enviously at the people who were sleeping in the gauze tent, and said to Moller and RextiyΓ¬: "Why don't we also sleep here in the sun, I didn't sleep well at all last night, I had too much fun just now, and now I'm really a little sleepy." β
Moller and Rex agreed, and although they slept on the grass on the flying island, it probably didn't last long.
When the three attendants heard them, they immediately went to prepare their own tents. At this moment, Ricky suddenly walked from the castle, greeted a few people with a smile, and then said to Moeller: "I just met you at the door, I promised to help you apply for a magic crystal card when I arrived in Night City, and now I happen to be free!"
Of course, Moller was looking forward to the magic crystal card, but he still smiled and asked, "Aren't you talking to Lady Julie in the house?"
Ricky waved his hand and said, "What is there to say, there are a lot of words between their women, I think Brandon can't stand it anymore, maybe he will come out to play with you in a while." β
Moller then told Rex to watch the squire set up the gauze tent first, and he would be back in a while, and Ricky also said that it would not be long before he could handle the magic crystal khaki. So the two went out.
Since the magic information world is a place where powerful magicians communicate with each other, there is also a threshold for applying for a magic crystal card, and there are generally two situations, one is that the person who handles it already has high-level strength, as long as he applies for it, he can do it, but because the magic crystal card is also a high-level magic item, he needs to pay the cost of 1,000 gold coins.
The other situation is that the strength of the handling is insufficient, but as long as there are five strong people who hold the magic crystal card are willing to guarantee, and pay a large amount of guarantee, you can also have the magic crystal card.
Moeller already has advanced strength, so it is very easy for him to apply for the magic crystal card, but after walking on the road for a short time, he saw a lot of people in uniform, using horse-drawn carriages to pull magic boxes with uniform styles shuttling back and forth on the streets, like postmen delivering these boxes to every household.
