Following.

It was dark.

Mogan flew and walked directly along the way, and took Dolandot with him to make a lot of compromises in order to ensure that he did not cross too many crowds in the form of a dragon, causing unnecessary suspicion.

The whole thing was in a hurry, and he arrived at Nova City across the mountains in two days.

It looks fast, but not too fast, at least for dragons.

The Kingdom of Cole has a vast territory, evenly dividing half of the continent with the Kingdom of Danton, with the Arcane Forest as the central axis of the blurred boundary, and it also has a slight advantage over the Kingdom of Danton in terms of fixed territorial range.

In such a territory, south of Lake Augustus, which is also adjacent to the royal capital and is as large as the inland sea of the mainland, is the often praised city of Nova.

The afterglow of the setting sun shrouds the outer walls of the city, and the long gray brick walls are not only invisible at the two ends, but also dozens of meters high, giving people a thick and insurmountable texture.

Beyond the towering walls of Nova City, long processions lined up.

The inspection was carried out by dignitaries and clan vendors, and the treatment of ornate and chic carriages was no different from that of mud-stained freight carts, all of which were blocked at the door for a long time.

The only difference may be that someone has a red face from the sun and wipes the beads of sweat that constantly arise from the corners of their foreheads during the trip; Someone was sitting in the carriage, and the servants were fanning their fans, and they were quite resting.

Mogan looked up.

As rumored to have it, he saw several knights in light armor standing on top of the high wall. They were all silent and motionless, like statues if it weren't for the heaving of their chests.

Although the head armor and the limited range of vision made it impossible to observe the tasks of the Silent Knights directly, Mogan was able to see that the gaze of these people was probably more intense than the campfire in front of the city gates.

And the object of scrutiny includes oneself.

Because of this, Mogan couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he lowered his head and reminded Dorandot who was hiding under his shadow and quietly glowing:

"If it's feasible, you'd better put away this obvious glow, too conspicuous."

"If it's a color element related to 'light', it should be my fire of life." Dorandot was also distressed, "I also want to control it, but I can't take it......"

It had worked hard to adjust its brightness and size to the level of ten fireflies, but it still couldn't please its demanding boss.

So at Mogan's request, Dorandot conceived it herself, trying to declare bankruptcy in an innocent plan disguised as an inconspicuous hairy ball by the shadow.

Mogan sighed and raised his hand to conjure up a small dagger. At the handle, flowing metal elements give way to a groove.

Dorandot immediately understood what he meant, and rushed into it from the bottom up.

At first glance, the shimmering green ball is an emerald with a special texture and luster, and it is easy for those who are not knowledgeable enough to misunderstand that it is some kind of magical material that they do not know.

"Thank you boss!"

The cheering elf embedded himself in, especially polite, and said something that made Mogan hold his forehead, faintly with a sense of familiarity that had traveled through time.

Baby elves originally lived inside the mother tree and could endure without breathing. Actually, it's not that Dorandot can't be taken away, but it seems a little weird to do so.

Like a bad boss who hires child labor.

And the problem of making this elf apprentice thoroughly understand the world in the vision of the human race is probably not so easy to solve, and it is still a long road.

Mogan pinned the final dagger to his waist and turned it slightly, so that the "jewel" was not very conspicuous and had a certain field of vision.

At a higher altitude and in a more favorable environment than before, Dorandot was able to observe everything in a better way without having to bother to float forward with Mogan's shadow.

It was shocked by this, and its gloss was inadvertently reduced to eight fireflies - it can be seen that accidents are also the factors that can change Dorandot's "fire of life" rather than active control.

"How can there be a sea here?"

You know, they started from the small town of Windsor, and all the way through mountains, forests, and at most long rivers, occasionally parallel to the avenue.

Although Dorandot could not see, he was able to recognize directions, and even knew that he should be deep inland through the reading of maps with figurative images by others.

"This is Lake Augustus." Mogan knew that the elf would be surprised by this, "Amazing? Many people say that this place is more like an inland sea in the kingdom of Kohl than a lake. ”

"But it doesn't feel like a lake......," Dorando muttered.

Mogan nodded, and his gaze turned to the edge of the city wall where he entered the city, the blue "lake" that barely ended.

"The scholars who are doing the research have the same doubts, even more so than you. They believe that Lake Augustus is not only about its size, but also about the tidal direction and water quality of the ocean. ”

After spending some time together, Mogan gradually discovered that Dolando relied on elemental perception to identify the color and nature of objects.

For example, flowers have a faint wood magic, and the sea is filled with water elementals that are more chaotic and rich than usual......

This little guy is not just a new version of the mind magic user, but also a spherical self-propelled elemental detector.

Mogan then paused, tilted his head slightly, and looked at an undetectable spot in the distance.

The procession continued to move forward, and it happened to be the point where the city wall was no longer hidden, and it was the first time that he carefully examined the distant and mysterious location, the elusive "miracle" from this angle.

After the observation, he also spoke, "And there is another anomaly, I don't know if you have noticed it, if you will find it...... Dorandot, adjust your brightness! ”

Noticing that Dolandot seemed to be a little sluggish, he couldn't control his brightness and soared directly to the brightness of dozens of fireflies, and there was an increasing trend, Mo Gan stretched out his hand to cover it and hurriedly reminded him.

Dorandot was even more confused, "Why is it that on this sea-like lake, there are not elemental examples of weather magic, but something invisible...... It feels so glaring. ”

This is another relatively new way of describing Mogan, and it deserves to be well recorded in Dorandot's observation and research notebook.

Despite the accident, Mogan patiently explained to the elf according to the original plan.

"Although the map is not marked, this is a well-known rumor in the Kingdom of Cole. Over Lake Augustus, there is a small floating island, which is called 'the place where the gods have fallen'. ”

"Good deeds?" Dorandot was a little puzzled by the concept at first, but soon noticed more factors, "Wait, what does the land of the fallen gods mean!" ”

This adjective is enough to arouse the curiosity of most people. After all, in this era, the gods have long been legends that only exist in the mouth, and the truth is unknown, and Dolando's era may also converge.

"This is what determines the high and low level of the impression of this empty island in the minds of civilians." Mogan nodded, "Other than that, there is no fixed statement. ”

The follow-up content may not be suitable for the temporarily simple-minded cub Dolando.

After all, there are too many conspiracy theories involved, and Mogan doesn't want to instill in a child the attribute of money and hobby that is accidentally revealed because of habit.

The islands in the sky of Lake Augustus can be seen as a small dot in the city of Nova City, and the field of vision follows the principle of near and far small, like the size of a grain of rice, and the size that can be seen in the royal capital is larger, like a peanut.

Because many cities can catch a glimpse of this island, you only need to climb on the roof or the city wall to see the stars and see the floating black shadow in the distance, and there are many rumors about this in the Kol Kingdom.

Some claim that the Sky Island is the location of the royal family's secret weapon, hiding the terrifying power that could destroy a continent, and perhaps the most powerful ancient mages are stationed and guarded.

Some believe that the island is a relic left behind by a god, and that it contains enough power to make a person a god again, but it only requires a certain brave man to draw a broken sword.

And so on and so forth......

There are many opinions, and it is difficult to unify.

As far as Mogan knew, even the most noble and secretive royal family of Cole knew nothing about the workings of this empty island.

But he wasn't in a position to go. After all, I don't know if there is an ancient mage stationed there, in short, Queen Christine did give an order to make this empty island a forbidden place and no one is allowed to approach.

"Related households" are no exception.

The team moved slowly, and Mogan behaved calmly and gracefully, without showing any timidity, no different from any lightly armed and decent-looking businessman.

At most, it is a dagger, and it is not an exaggeration to use it as a weapon for the self-defense of a traveling businessman.

After all, although the censorship of Nova City is strict, people who do not have large-scale goods pay the most attention to the resident identity and household registration, with the residents of the city as the first, the residents of the royal capital second, and then in order.

As long as these basic conditions of passage are met, there are not too many restrictions on the carrying of weapons.

So the person in charge of the examination looked up at Mogan and the series of identification documents he presented, and quickly waved his hand to indicate that there was no problem, and after paying the fee, he took the pass.

Under the influence of magic, Mogan's appearance was immediately displayed in the form of a special inkblot in the form of a picture. And behind the censors, there is apparently another mage who specializes in using life magic.

But it's pretty low-level magic, and apprentices can do it.

As a businessman's personal experience, Mo Gan suddenly felt a little emotional, this time he didn't bring the goods, and he relied on his royal capital account to conduct a review, which was simply simple.

However, Mogan also noticed that the person in charge of the review today was wearing an inspector's uniform.

The pass allows a person to enter and exit freely for a certain period of time, after which there is no need to queue, and only need to show their pass to the defenders and verify their identity before entering and exiting.

Of course, there is also a way to go directly to the city after being examined, which also saves the cost of work.

Although Mogan saves money and is quite pained by this, he also knows that he can't wait in a long queue every time because it will waste too much time.

He is indeed a good law-abiding civilian.

After receiving the pass, Mogan did not enter the city, but took Dorandot around the city for half a circle, and finally arrived at another place.

East City Gate.

That was where Will had told him that he had encountered the Blindfolded Cavalry, and that was the first way he and Connor had left Nova City.
