Chapter 119: The Scabbard and the Magic Airship

After Xu Yue injected his magic power into the scabbard that had just been unsealed, what was happening in front of him suddenly made him stunned.

I saw that the scabbard of the two-handed sword that looked simple and atmospheric suddenly lit up with a golden light, and a complex circular magic array instantly appeared under his feet, and after this magic array appeared, it began to spread continuously towards the space above, and in the blink of an eye, a complex magic array that seemed to be in the shape of a cylinder enveloped his whole person.

Feeling the cylindrical three-dimensional magic array that completely enveloped him, the powerful magic fluctuations that kept coming from it made him, the user, feel a slight sense of oppression. After carefully looking at the magic pattern on the magic array, and then feeling it according to the fluctuations emitted by the magic array.

"It turned out to be a level seventh-level protective magic array!What the hell is this scabbard?" Xu Yue whispered in surprise.

Although he had guessed that the level of this scabbard would not be lower than level nine, based on the seal on the scabbard, there was even a slight hint that it might be a higher legendary-level item. But after all, this thing is just a scabbard, according to common sense, even if it is a supporting part of a ninth-level magic equipment, the role of the scabbard is far less than the weapon it is equipped with, and it is generally at most one or two auxiliary functions that are quite good.

However, this scabbard only unlocked the first layer of seals to stimulate the seventh-level protective magic, and he also saw that the reason why the protective magic in front of him was seventh-level was only because there were still two layers of seals that had not been unlocked, otherwise the magic released by the scabbard could reach at least level eight or even higher. That's a bit too much of a luxury for a scabbard.

The enchantment formed by the four pyramid-shaped magic items that he used to isolate magic fluctuations was already somewhat unstable under the violent magic fluctuations emanating from the scabbard. Xu Yue frowned and stopped injecting mana, but the protective magic did not disappear, but still functioned.

He thought about it for a moment. Penetrating the spiritual power into the outer layer of the scabbard, under the contact of the spiritual power, he finally found a way to cast and stop the protective magic in the scabbard. After touching the core of the outer magic array of the scabbard a little with his spiritual power, the three-dimensional protective magic disappeared.

Holding this magical scabbard in his hand, Xu Yue thought about it while being excited. Since this newly acquired scabbard was able to unleash a level 7 magic, it was equivalent to an extra powerful hole card for him out of thin air. He could feel that the strength of this protective magic cast by the scabbard was definitely not low among seventh-level magic, even if he encountered an ordinary seventh-level powerhouse, it was impossible to break this protective magic in a short period of time. This was enough time for him to escape for his life under the hands of any level 7 powerhouse.

At the same time, he was curious about the origin of the scabbard. The change in the scabbard was caused by a ring he had found from Earth that had scattered magical fluctuations, but the scabbard had actually appeared on Talumia's side. He couldn't figure out how things from two different worlds could be so connected.

The appearance of the ring when the seal on the scabbard was lifted was very obvious, and I am afraid that the ring itself has this magical function, and no one would believe it if there is no connection between the two.

"I remember the man who sold me the ring said it. This ring may be related to the legendary magician Merlin of King Arthur in the West, and there is also a fragment of image information hidden in the ring, which faintly seems to point out the hiding location of a sword, and that sword may be the legendary sword of King Arthur. If you extrapolate it like this. Could it be that this scabbard ......" Xu Yue looked at the scabbard in his hand with an incredulous expression.

In the legends of the earth. King Arthur once had two mysterious and powerful weapons, one was the Sword of the Test King, the Sword in the Stone. Only the king can pull this mysterious king's sword out of the stone. The other sword is the sword that the lake elves gave to King Arthur, the Sword of Victory of the Oath. The sword in the stone is said to have been cut off in a battle that violated the way of knighthood. But the sword of victory of the oath was in the hands of King Arthur.

In fact, according to historical records, King Arthur is only a fictional character, and there are many speculations about the original form of his character. This is true of Merlin and the Twelve Round Table Samurai. However, after Xu Yue appeared on Earth this magic ring related to the legendary magician Merlin, he became skeptical of such a statement.

The environment of the earth is indeed not suitable for the survival of magicians, and even in that thin magical element, it is almost impossible for even the most talented person to become a junior magic apprentice. But the appearance of that magic ring on Earth is a real thing, which proves that in any case, in ancient times on the west side of the earth. Very willing to have a magical existence zài. And the characters that are considered myths and legends are not necessarily fictional.

Among other things, the magical magic ring he found was a testament to this. After getting the information recorded by that ring. Xu Yue once suspected that it was the Sword in the Stone, because he did not know much about Western myths and legends, and confused the Sword of the Trial King with the Sword of Oath Victory. Later, after learning more about the myths and legends, he guessed that the hidden sword recorded in the video might be the holy sword, the Sword of Victory of the Oath.

In myths and legends, this magical holy sword possesses the ability to cut off a qiē. It also has other names, such as the Sword of the King, the Sword of Chopping Gang, the Middle of the Lake, and so on. However, there is no record of the scabbard of this sword in orthodox legends, just called the scabbard between kings. In some comics and animations on Earth, the scabbard of this sword of kings has been given a lot of names and abilities, but it basically doesn't match the legend.

According to Xu Yue's guess, if what was shown in that ring was really the sword of the king, the sword of victory of the oath, then the scabbard in his hand was likely to be the scabbard that matched the sword of the king. As for why it should be something in the myths and legends of the earth, but it appeared on the Talumia Big 6, Xu Yue also had some guesses in his heart.

The first possibility is that a mage once came to Earth and got the scabbard of the Sword of Kings and brought back Taramia 6. Another speculation is that the Sword of Kings is simply Talumia's. It's just that they were taken to the other side of the earth. Xu Yue personally believes that considering the concentration of magic elements and the level of magic materials of the earth and Talumia, the second possibility is very high. He even suspected that Merlin, the legendary magician with a somewhat mysterious origin in Arthurian legend, was probably from Talumia's side. But he didn't have any evidence for that. It's just a matter of speculation.

After feeling the remaining two seals on the scabbard again, he knew that with his own level, he would not even want to open these two seals even if he risked his life, so he simply gave up his research on the plan of lifting the seals, and could only see if the level was higher in the future or if he could be lucky enough to encounter the items that could lift the two seals.

After carefully putting the scabbard in his hand into his storage ring, Xu Yue went to the street again to find a relatively nearby magic material store and bought enough magic materials for all the magic materials he needed. Then he went straight back to the inn and didn't come out again, taking advantage of the short break to concentrate on learning magic. Although two and a half years of frenzied study allowed him to barely make up for his previous lack of knowledge. But if he wants to compare with those third-level magicians who have relied on years of learning, he needs to work harder.

What Xu Yue didn't know was when he relied on the dragon-shaped carved ring to lift the first seal on the Sword of Oath Victory. In a mage tower tens of thousands of kilometers away, a fiery red crystal the size of a human head began to burst out with a dazzling red light, and the blood-red light almost enveloped the entire layer of this huge mage tower in red light. In the top room of the Mage's Tower, one looked as if he was fifty or sixty years old. The old mage, dressed in a black mage robe, suddenly raised his head from the real yàn platform in front of him. I don't care if I get the magic liquid in my hand wrong because I'm excited.

The misproportioned mixed magic liquid reacted violently on the real platform, and in an instant, the elemental fluctuations inside were excited to the limit, and with a huge explosion, a burst of fire almost drowned the entire test bench. But when this powerful explosive shock wave came into contact with the stunned old mage, a soft light suddenly appeared on the old mage's body. When the shockwave with strong destructive power touched the light, it swept past as if it were just a harmless breeze, and it could not shake the bright light in the slightest.

The sound of the explosion woke the old mage from his stupor, and he frowned and waved his hand. With a wave of magic fluctuation, the violent explosion suddenly disappeared like a phantom.

The old mage didn't care about the mess that had been destroyed by the explosion. Instead, he pushed open the door of the real yàn room and walked out quickly. He said to a magician in his thirties who had been standing in the doorway, "Kutch, clean up the inside." I hope that when I come back here, I will see a clean and tidy room. ”

The magician named Kuqi had six silver lines on his robe, which proved that he was a powerful sixth-level mage, but now this sixth-level mage did not dare to show the slightest disrespect when treating the old mage, he respectfully bowed to the old mage and said, "Okay teacher, I will clean this place before you come back." ”

The old mage didn't pay attention to his student, but quickly came to the room where the red crystal the size of a human head was placed, and the light emitted by the red crystal was much weaker, but the red light still made people feel very dazzling.

The old mage walked quickly to the red crystal, pressed his hand on the round magic crystal and probed it with his spiritual power, and then said with some excitement: "That's right, this fluctuation is the fluctuation of the Dragon Slaying Sword." Unexpectedly, after being missing for a thousand years, the Dragon Slaying Sword would reappear on the Talumia Big 6. However, this fluctuation is a little too weak, and if you look at the fluctuation, I'm afraid it's just the scabbard of the Dragon Slashing Sword. However, even if it is a scabbard, although it does not have the power of the dragon sword, the protective ability of the scabbard itself has a great effect on me. ”

"Paul, come to my study!" the old mage used his mental power to control the core of the mage tower and sent out a message, and then he walked quickly to his study.

It was only two or three minutes later that a tall and thin magician who looked to be in his forties walked into the old mage's room, his slightly gloomy face was full of respect at this time, and he bowed respectfully to the old mage and said, "Teacher." You call me?"

The old mage nodded, and with his magic control he brought a red crystal about the size of his thumb to the magician named Paul, and he said to Paul, "You take this probing crystal. He will guide you to a scabbard. Bring that scabbard back to me, complete this mission, and I'll help you complete your promotion to a level 7 mage. Be secretive in your actions, don't let other forces notice it, and don't make too much noise. ”

"Okay teacher, you'll see the scabbard. The magician named Paul bowed respectfully and stepped back, his expression full of excitement at the old mage's promise. But this expression quickly disappeared from his face as soon as he exited the door.

Probing the red crystal in his hand, he thought for a while when he returned to his room. He frowned and said, "What kind of scabbard would make an eighth-level magician like the teacher give such cautious orders, and obviously send me, a sixth-level disciple, out to look for it." I guess he was afraid that if he sent a few seventh-level senior brothers, it would attract the attention of other forces, right? ”

After receiving the red crystal in his hand into his storage ring, he simply cleaned up the things in his hand and came out. The probe crystal that the old mage gave him was far away from the item he was trying to find. Only a general direction can be indicated, and the specific location can only be displayed when you get closer, which can be reduced to at least ten kilometers between the distance between him and the object he is looking for. So at first, he could only rely on this to probe the direction indicated by the crystal, and use the flying magic to hurry quickly.

Xu Yue, who was far away in the Emerald City, didn't know that because he accidentally unlocked the magic on the scabbard and made a powerful magician target him. After a night's rest in the Emerald City. The next day, the succubus at the inn delivered the ticket to his room for the magic airship he had ordered. Beat away the succubus who wanted to tease him. He simply packed up his things and left the inn.

Magic airships are operated exclusively by the Magic Guild, and although there are some regular flights to other cities, the places that can be reached are very limited, and cities like Black Rock City do not have direct magic airships. Only in the Emerald City will the headquarters of the Magic Guild have airship flights that can reach many places.

Xu Yue came to the headquarters of the Magic Guild, which was a large and majestic building complex, surrounded by mage towers and various shops that seemed to be hundreds of times magnified in the middle, and anyone standing in front of this majestic castle would feel their own insignificance.

Ninety percent of the crowd that entered through the gate of the Magic Guild headquarters were magicians. The gate, where hundreds of people enter and exit at any given time, is a shock to all to see. Here, the magician, who is very rare in the rest of Talumia 6, seems to have become the most ordinary petty traders. At first glance, all of them are magicians wearing various colored magic robes.

Because of the tight time, Xu Yue did not plan to visit the headquarters of the Magic Guild this time, but after briefly taking a look at the hall of the Magic Guild, which was larger than the bird's nest on the earth, he found a magician in the hall who was obviously a service staff and asked. The receptionist, who looked at the mark on his magic robe, was obviously a first-class magician, and he did not have the arrogance of other magicians at all, and he patiently answered questions to the people around him who asked him.

After hearing Xu Yue's question, he pointed to a very large gate on the west side of the hall and said, "If you want to take an airship, there is the entrance and exit." Once you're inside, just show your ticket and the reception staff will take you to the 6 o'clock boarding of the airship you want to take, just wait a while and you're ready to start the tour. ”

Xu Yue was also shocked by the handiwork of the Magic Guild Headquarters after thanking the receptionist, if there were smaller branches of the Magic Guild in other places, at most they would only hire some first- and second-level warriors to stand guard, or some junior magic apprentices as reception staff. The larger chapters only use high-level magic apprentices as receptionists. However, the use of first-class mages as reception staff in the headquarters of the Magic Guild is simply unimaginable elsewhere.

Don't look at the first-level mage is only one level higher than the magic apprentice, but the difference between the two in terms of identity is completely different. Elsewhere, if you dare to let a first-level magician be an ordinary receptionist, I am afraid that people will directly smash a fireball spell in your face, although a first-level magician is not strong. But at least it is possible to mix the lowest noble titles in a country. But the headquarters of the Magic Guild has the confidence to let such a person be a receptionist, and seeing that the first-level magician still cares about his job very much, this has to make him feel the appeal of the Magic Guild.

The shape of the magic airship is somewhat similar to that of the Earth's airship that flies on hydrogen. However, the flight of the magic airship does not rely on hydrogen, but a device composed of the magic array carved inside and the alchemy engineering inside. There was no gas in the huge oval hull, but instead it was the cabin and cargo compartment used to carry guests and goods.

Looking at the huge airship suspended in the air in front of him, dozens of times stronger than the earth's airship, Xu Yue felt that the earth's plane was weaker than the airship in front of him. Not to mention the degree or anything, the difference in volume alone throws off the former by several streets.

Under the guidance of the reception staff, Xu Yue followed the flow of people towards the warehouse under the airship, which was obviously used for login. After entering the warehouse, which was about a hundred square meters in size, a magic array on the ground was only smooth and faint, and he was teleported to another place.

Looking at the huge airship cabin in front of you. It was supposed to be inside the airship, but the wide hall in front of him made Xu Yue feel as if he was in a square on the ground. Received by the airship attendants, he followed the attendants through the hall and towards the middle floor.

The ticket Xu Yue bought was a room on the middle floor of the airship. The ticket price here is second only to the deluxe room on the top floor. He didn't mean he couldn't afford to live in a deluxe room. But the expensive ticket price, even a local tyrant like him felt a little pain. This is different from the Deluxe Room in Emerald City, which can only be accommodated by spending some low-level magic crystals, and the ticket price of the Deluxe Room of the Magic Airship is at least 100 mid-level magic crystals. This is almost the price of tens of thousands of gold coins, and it is better to spend such a sum of money to show off, so it is better to buy some magic materials leftover.

Although it is a second-class room, the price of a dozen intermediate magic crystals is definitely not low. The lavish furnishings of the rooms and the magical objects with various functions make anyone who enters the room feel as if they are in a luxurious inn. The waiter at the door respectfully withdrew and washed away after indicating that he could call him through the communication crystal in the room if he needed anything. Those standard and normative words even made Xu Yue feel as if she was in one of the real top hotels on the planet.

Coming to the window of the room, the window itself has no glass, but is magically used to isolate the wind and temperature. At the outskirts of the entire airship, there is a large shield that makes it impossible for anything to fly in through the shield. So the view from the window is exceptionally clear.

Xu Yue lifted a recliner made of awake wood in the room and placed it next to the huge two-meter-wide window. After lying on the chaise longue, he could easily look at the scenery below the airship. By this time, almost all the passengers of the airship had entered the airship. After an almost impeccable shudder, the entire airship began to rise sharply into the air, even faster than the full force of the Earth plane's climb.

He knew that this was because the airship used the magic array inside to offset the huge increase generated when it ascended, so the people in the airship could hardly feel the heaviness of the airship when it ascended.

It has been more than three years since Xu Yue came to Talumia 6, and most of the three years he spent in Komodo Town, Black Rock City, and Nightsong Forest, and he hardly visited any other part of Talumia. Judging from his experience in these three places, although the magic here is magical, it is only another power that is different from earth technology. Judging from the life of the people here, he always felt that he was living in ancient times, so he always thought that the magic technology here was more powerful than the technology of the earth due to innate reasons, but it was still inferior to the technology on the earth.

But the magic airship he was riding today made him completely change this idea, if nothing else, the size of the magic airship alone has surpassed any kind of flying tool on the earth. A magical airship that can accommodate thousands of people and is so spacious that it cannot be achieved with the science and technology of the earth just to create a qualified flying hull. Not to mention the magic arrays on the airship that can counteract the heaviness of the plus.

Only then did he realize that it was not that Talumia's magical civilization was inferior to the earth's technological civilization, but that he had only stayed in a relatively backward and remote place in Talumia's Big 6 before. Not to mention places like Nightsong Forest and Komodo Town, which are almost wilderness towns. Even Black Rock City, with a population of millions, is still a big city, but its geographical location and economic conditions determine that it is only a relatively remote and backward border city in the Kingdom of Xia. Otherwise, during the war with the trolls three years ago, the higher-ups of the Xia Kingdom would not have made the kind of move that almost gave up Black Rock City and rescued several other cities first. It's obviously impossible for you to see more advanced technology in a small backward border town. The same is true when it comes to Earth.

What he saw and heard in the Emerald City made Xu Yue clearly understand that Talumia's magical civilization was no worse than the earth's technological civilization, and even in a certain way, the exhibition of the magical civilization here had surpassed the existing scientific and technological level of the earth, at least the earth could not open the kind of protective shield that was only purely a legend.

As the airship rises, the huge Emerald City begins to shrink little by little, and the buildings and people under its feet seem to become tiny models. But even so, the area covered by the Emerald City is still shocking when viewed from above. While lamenting the emerald city's enormity. He finally understood why the capital of the Kingdom of Dallas was named the Emerald City.

Most of the buildings in the Emerald City use a type of stone called lapislamite, which is the best building material with a slight turquoise tinge, which can guarantee the firmness and tightness of the building in both strong and other aspects. And under the illumination of the light. The turquoise glow of the turquoise of these buildings is barely noticeable from the ground, but when you rise into the air, the turquoise glow of the entire city makes you feel as if you are looking at a piece of turquoise jade. Of course. The name Emerald City was just the result of Xu Yue's translation based on the lingua franca of Talumia. Because there is such a substance as jade in this world itself, but if you use the name of Talumia, you can't express it in Chinese.

Because there is almost no polluting industry or anything like that, and the high concentration of magical elements here also has a great effect on the growth of plants, you can see everywhere in the forests here that those trees on the earth that have lived for hundreds of years before a few people are packed, so the green of the surface of this world is very high, except for some specific areas, the rest of the place is almost covered with green from above.

The degree of the airship is very fast, almost the same as the degree of the plane of the earth. But the window was covered by magic, but I couldn't feel the cold wind in the sky. Xu Yue lay on the recliner and watched the beautiful scenery on the ground outside the window for a while. After a long time, I suddenly felt a little bored. Seeing that it was almost noon, he thought about it and decided to go to the restaurant of the magic airship. Although it is also possible to have your own lunch delivered to your room. But it was the first time he had taken the airship on Talumia's side, and he was still a little curious about this behemoth flying high in the sky.

Exiting the room, after asking a receptionist, he wandered in the direction of the restaurant. After a brief inquiry from the attendant, he learned that there were about 7,000 passengers on board, but most of them were in the middle and lower parts of the airship. The upper deluxe cabin has less than a few dozen passengers, and of course the deluxe part is the smallest part of the airship, but each room there is several times larger than the lower room.

There is not a single poor person who can ride the magic airship, at least the middle-level people who are relatively wealthy on the Talumia Big 6, and for the civilians at the lower level, the cheapest tickets for the airship are a huge amount of money for them. And in this way, the magic airship can still have so many passengers, all thanks to Talumia's area dozens of times the size of the earth and more than ten times the population. Even if there are more civilians in the lower class, there are still more than ten times more people in the middle class under the huge population base than the middle-level families on the earth.

Although the middle cabin where Xu Yue lives is also in the middle floor, it is the best cabin in the middle floor area. As he walked through the spacious aisles of the airship, he saw either magicians in robes or some well-dressed elites, and it was evident from the delicate gowns and the valuable ornaments of the ladies that they were either very wealthy merchants or powerful nobles, and each of them was full of aura.

Xu Yue himself is a third-level magician, and after he becomes a real marquis of the Xia Kingdom, he must wear the nobleman's own family crest on the robe on formal occasions, so everyone passing by knows that this magician of unknown rank is still a marquis-level nobleman. Suddenly, those who looked like they should be nobles would bow slightly to him in respect when they met him. This is the etiquette of communication between nobles, even if the other party and themselves are not nobles of the same country, but as long as they meet low-level nobles, they should pay tribute to high-ranking nobles, which is a rule that most nobles in Talumia 6 abide by in their interactions.

After bowing slightly, Xu Yue walked forward while admiring the layout in the airship. The interior of the airship is very spacious, unlike the planes on the earth that look luxurious but make people feel cramped, the narrowest aisle here is two meters wide, and the main aisle that Xu Yue walked is like a wide road, about seven or eight meters wide. The two sides of the aisle are not just rigid walls, but are arranged in a certain space by various artworks and rockeries. It can be seen that Talamia is also very good at the layout of public places, and the different artworks and ornamental landscapes are paired with some beautiful benches for people to rest, not only do not make people feel crowded in the slightest, but make people feel like walking in a park full of beautiful scenery.

From time to time, men and women admire an artistic painting, or a man and woman in love sit on a bench and talk in a whisper.

Despite the size of the airship, the restaurant in the second most luxurious middle warehouse was not too far from his room, and the restaurant here was separate from the other low warehouse restaurants. He had heard that even the low-class cabins were actually divided into several levels, and the most ordinary ones, according to the description of the waiters, were almost the same as the ordinary standard rooms of those express hotels on Earth, and the food in the restaurant was far inferior to the area where he was. But he didn't plan to go to the low-class cabin to take a look, even if the environment there couldn't be so bad because of the price level of the magic airship itself, it would definitely not be as spacious as the area he was in.

After arriving at the restaurant, which seemed to be the size of a small football field, Xu Yue came to a table where no one was around, sat down, looked at the menu on the table, and asked for a delicious dish. Although he thinks that there is no need to waste extra money on the cabin, Xu Yue will never be wronged when it comes to eating.

In fact, the various ingredients used for eating here in Talumia Big 6 may be because of the high concentration of magic elements here, so these ingredients are amazingly delicious. Compared to the vegetables and meats that are watered with pesticides and fertilizers on Earth, the food here is like a meal in heaven. So over the years, after Xu Yue left Komodo Town, he basically ate at Talumia's side and would never return to the earth to eat. There is no way, although the means of making zuò may be slightly higher on the other side of the earth, but the difference in ingredients determines that the difference in the taste of the food on both sides is huge. Xu Yue even secretly gave some ingredients back to his parents on Earth, but he used magic to disguise those ingredients in advance, so that these ingredients remained the appearance of some common vegetables on Earth before they went down.

Use Talemia's unique fork to put the fish meat in the middle of the softest and smoothest belly of a piece of stone-scale snowfish into the mouth, which is smooth and has a very strong taste, coupled with the mellow and delicious meat quality unique to the stone-scale snowfish, so that Xu Yue, a standard foodie, was intoxicated at the first time.

However, although the food was delicious, the more than three years of study in Tarumia had not only made great progress in his knowledge of magic, but also the etiquette of the nobles. So although he was mentally intoxicated, the expression on his face was very elegant.

At this time, I saw a female mage wearing a purple mage robe come to the opposite of him, and after the other party saluted politely, he looked at the empty seat opposite and asked with a smile, "Is it okay?" (to be continued......)
