Chapter 261: Floating City
A dazzling white light filled the field of vision, and there was a vast white expanse in front of the eyes.
By the time his vision regained clarity, Pei Ze was already standing in a forest.
Looking around, you will see countless beautiful trees with a height of more than 100 meters, as if they have just been washed by a waterfall, and the whole body exudes a refreshing feeling.
Countless birds with colorful feathers roost and fly on those trees.
The ethereal, dreamy glow of the trees and birds forms a beautiful scene far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
And in the distance, a city looms among the trees.
"This is the inside of the Tree of Truth?"
Pei Ze squinted his eyes and looked at the surroundings, then took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a sense of purity that had been washed inside and out.
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so rich in the power of rules." ”
The power of the rules in this place is only stronger than that of the Holy Land.
Xi Nan smiled, "The Holy Land was originally a fragment that the Lord of the Astral Plane had cut off from the Tree of Truth with infinite power, and it was later transformed. ”
"And there are no restrictions like holy places here, you can stay as long as you want, if it weren't for the sixth-level wizard who couldn't support the plane shuttle, this is really a good place to improve the perception of the rules."
Pei Ze nodded thoughtfully.
If he had been able to enter the Tree of Truth when he was a Level 6 wizard and didn't need the Plane Origin, he would have been confident that he would have completed the breakthrough in a few years.
Unfortunately, this is just an extravagant hope.
Don't look like he was sheltered by a white ball of light from time to time, but he still paid a lot of strength to resist the spatial turbulence.
If you change to a sixth-level wizard, I'm afraid you will be torn to shreds in an instant.
Even if Pei Ze still had the Rule Origin Crystallization in his hand at the beginning, it would be impossible to support a long-term plane shuttle.
"Let's go, advanced city."
Xi Nan took the lead and walked forward.
"The Tree of Truth has a special environment, so it's best not to use its power lightly."
Pei Ze tried it, and sure enough, as soon as he was about to mobilize the power of the rules, he felt an invisible repulsive force enveloping his whole body.
Give him the illusion that if he continues, this invisible force will crush him to ashes.
Pei Ze didn't plan to die, and immediately gave up the idea of mobilizing the power of the rules.
In a short time, the two of them came to a majestic city.
The city is built in the woods, and the rocks, vines, and trunks are intertwined to form the main body of the towering city wall, with a sense of primitive wilderness.
"This is Tree City, a transit point between the Tree of Truth and the rest of the multiverse, where trade and replenishment take place."
There was no guard at the city gate, and Xi Nan took Pei Ze straight through the city gate, and at the same time casually introduced the situation of Shucheng.
"Private fighting is strictly forbidden in Tree City, and violators will be severely punished, ranging from permanent expulsion from the Tree of Truth to direct extermination, which is the rule set by the Council of Truth."
"The Council of Truth?"
"It's the joint body that manages the Tree of Truth, and its members are all well-known and powerful beings in the multiverse, such as the chairman and vice president of our Astral Alliance, the main god of the Pantheon, and several of the oldest demon lords and the Grand Duke of Hell, etc."
Pei Ze understood.
The existences mentioned by Xi Nan were all powerhouses at the apex of the multiverse without exception, and there were even a few ninth-level existences among them.
The rules set by these beings should not be broken by anyone.
And Pei Ze soon saw this.
Passing through the gate, you will be greeted by a street that is large enough to accommodate more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages.
Creatures of all shapes and sizes weave up and down the streets.
Wizards in robes, gods with majestic breaths, demons with hideous appearances, and divine and heroic celestial creatures who would probably fight each other as soon as they meet outside, are now walking in harmony through the streets, and they are at peace with each other.
It's a bizarre scene.
Pei Ze was amazed.
This can only be achieved by the coercion of the deterrence of force, coupled with the special environment in which the tree of truth restricts the power of the rules.
The streets are flanked by undulating stone houses.
The door was closed, and it looked like a dwelling.
"These stone houses are our abode in the Tree of Truth, the ones that have left their breath are already occupied, and the vacant ones you can choose to move into."
Xi Nan casually introduced, followed by Pei Ze through the long street and came to a square.
The floor of the wide square is completely paved with bluestone slabs, and it is engraved with mysterious and intricate runes, forming a giant magic circle.
An oval light curtain with a height of more than ten meters suspended above the circle out of thin air, exuding a sense of spatial expansion.
"This is one of the many multiverse entrances to the Tree of Truth, and the other end leads to the Alien Universe." Xi Nan said.
"Alien Universe?"
Pei Ze's expression moved, and he remembered the infamous scourge of the multiverse.
As if he had guessed Pei Ze's thoughts, Xi Nan said inexplicably: "The origin of the Alien Insect Clan is this Alien Insect Universe. ”
"As early as 100,000 years ago, the Alien Insect Race shuttled to the multiverse where we are located by chance, and since then it has been out of control, constantly devouring the plane and developing and growing, until today, we have not been able to completely eliminate this scourge."
After a pause, Xi Nan smiled again.
"But as a retaliation, we also invaded the Alien Universe and destroyed a lot of their nest planes, which can be regarded as a matter of correspondence."
"There are quite a few similar cosmic entrances, twelve in total."
"You can reach other multiverses through these portals whenever you want."
Speaking of this, Xi Nan turned his head to look at Pei Ze, and his face was solemn.
"However, the benefits of invading other multiverses are great, but the risks are also very high, once those multiverses find the invading alien race, they will inevitably chase and kill endlessly, and if they don't have enough strength, it is easy to lose their lives if they invade rashly."
"My advice is to wait until you have built your own floating city, and then it's not too late to enter the other multiverses to fight."
Pei Ze responded from the goodness of the stream.
He has the means to condense the crystallization of the origin of the rules of space, and has enough capital to exchange the resources he needs, and it won't be long before he can build his own floating city, and then it will be more secure to carry out a cosmic conquest.
There's no need to put yourself in a dangerous situation just to get caught up in the moment.
Leaving the square, Xi Nan then took Pei Ze to a building with a large area.
"This is an exchange, if you want to sell something, you can sell it here, and of course, there are a lot of good things in it, so you can buy it if you look good."
The two walked through the door as they talked.
Behind the door is a huge hall of great magnificence.
Being in the giant hall, people can't help but be completely shocked by the extremely wide and high space of the giant hall.
It's as if the villain of Lilliputian came to the hall built by the giant by chance.
The entire hall is shrouded in a soft blue light, which contrasts with the sunlight that penetrates through the exit.
Pei Ze looked up at the top of the hall, and saw a circular object embedded in the center of the top of the hall, emitting green and yellow light, like an indoor sun, making the entire giant hall bathe in ten thousand blue lights.
Hundreds of pitch-black stone walls were scattered throughout the hall, and words appeared and disappeared on each stone wall.
Pei Ze looked at it intently, only to find that the words on the stone wall described the information of the traded items.
This includes, but is not limited to, Plane Origin, Elemental Djinn Elder Core, Astral Mystic Matter, and Sun Adamantite. There are even blueprints of the floating city, offering three elemental rule origin crystals, or two higher-level rule origin crystals.
Pei Ze was suddenly a little moved.
He is now lacking information on the construction of the Floating City.
"I don't know how many will be needed to pay with the Origin Crystals of the Space Rules?"
Noticing Pei Ze's gaze, Xi Nan said with a smile: "If Councilor Pei is interested, you can leave a message on the stone wall to contact the other party and agree on a time and place to complete the transaction." ”
Pei Ze nodded, and was about to speak, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, and his gaze suddenly stopped.
The man soon discovered Pei Ze, his eyes lit up, and his figure flickered in front of Pei Ze.
"I knew you would be promoted to a rule wizard soon."
Aniwei looked at Pei Ze with a smile.
Since the latter can appear here, it means that he has successfully taken that step.
The second spatial rule wizard of the Astral Alliance after the Lord of the Astral Boundary, is still so young, and when she thinks of this, Aniwei can't help but sigh.
"Sir Anivia, long time no see."
Xi Nan bowed to Anivia, apparently also knowing the Traveler's Guild, a well-known vampire wizard.
"Long time no see, Councilor Xi." Aniwei smiled and bowed, and finally pointed at Pei Ze, "Pei Ze, I'll borrow it first." ”
Xi Nan glanced at Pei Ze with a smile on his face, and said goodbye and left in a playful manner.
After Xi Nan left, Aniwei said, "Do you remember our previous agreement? ”
Pei Ze nodded.
He had made an appointment with Aniwei before, and when he was promoted to a rule wizard, if he wanted to trade with the origin crystals of the space rules, he must give priority to her as soon as possible.
"What do you want?" Anivia asked.
Pei Ze had already made a plan, and said without thinking about it: "The design of the floating city, as well as the origin of the plane. ”
"It's easy." Anivia took out a memory crystal ball, "It just so happens that I am also preparing to build a floating city, this is the design map I collected before, it can be called a high-quality product, and I don't take advantage of you, how about a spatial rule origin crystal?" ”
"Deal." Pei Ze responded neatly.
Seeing this, Anivia smiled more than deeply on her face, and turned her head to take out another dimensional origin.
"Fifteen Spatial Rule Origin Crystals."
Pei Ze had just seen the price of the Plane Origin on the stone wall.
If you pay for the Elemental Rule Origin Crystal, you need a full forty-five.
If it was a Superior Rule Origin Crystallization such as Death, Shadow, and Decay, it would only take thirty.
And the space rule is the superlative rule, and the price of fifteen is quite reasonable.
At the beginning, Mu Yuan also traded the plane origin with him at this price.
Without hesitation, Pei Ze happily traded with Ainiwei.
"I still have a few plane origins in my hand, if you still want to trade in the future, just look for me."
The deal was made, and Anivia was obviously in a very happy mood, and said with a smile:
"If you need materials to build a floating city, you can find me, even if I don't have them, you can find them through the channel of the Travelers' Association."
Pei Ze smiled and responded.
After finishing business, Aniwei didn't say much and left quickly.
Pei Ze glanced at the dense stone walls in the main hall, turned around and walked out of the gate.
found a vacant stone house in the city, Pei Ze left a breath imprint, and casually arranged a warning array, and then took out the design of the floating city and browsed it carefully.
The strategic scientific name of the Floating City is [Super Large Astral Strategic Defense Integrated Fortress], which is theoretically comparable to the divine kingdom of the gods.
The strategic value of the Floating City is equivalent to a super-large interstellar fortress that can accommodate more than 100,000 people, with a complete ecosystem that can drift in the universe for thousands of years.
As a result, the amount of resources required to build a floating city is astronomical.
If nothing else, the demand for the metal and stone that make up the base of the Floating City is staggering, not to mention the various energy devices, defense facilities, and combat facilities.
After browsing for a while, Pei Ze already had a rough outline in his heart.
Similar to the Wizard Tower, the Floating City can be roughly divided into three parts: energy supply, space planning, and combat equipment.
The first is energy supply, which can be divided into elemental furnaces, floating devices, and energy transmission network structures.
Needless to say, the energy transmission network structure of the Elemental Furnace and the Floating Device is actually equivalent to the central crystal energy transmission system of the Wizard Tower, but it is more efficient, after all, it has to carry the energy transmission and operation of an entire city.
The second is spatial planning.
In this respect, it is not much different from the Wizard's Tower.
Stargazing platform, warehouse area, experimental area, practice area, meditation area, botanical garden, ecological garden, golem factory, etc.
It's just that the area needs to be expanded a lot, and the number must also increase.
In addition, it is necessary to plan out residential areas, commercial areas, city halls, and so on just like ordinary cities.
After all, it needs to accommodate tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of living beings, and there must be a sound urban planning and administrative system.
The last combat device is the top priority of the floating city.
The combat installation is mainly divided into two parts: protection and attack.
Normally, there are three lines of protection in the Floating City.
The first is a super-large energy protection force field, which is enough to withstand the impact of small meteorite rain in the astral plane, can withstand the energy pressure in the special environment, and at the same time stabilize the ecological balance inside the floating city.
The second line of protection is the Mystery Lock.
This is not the Wizard's Tower's Lost Lock's protective energy field, but a more advanced top-level construct that integrates strategy, attack, and defense.
Because the amount of energy consumed is too large, it will only be activated when it is in combat.
The last line of protection is the strength of the floating city itself.
The materials used to build the Floating City are usually extremely strong materials.
However, the effect of this protection can only be said to be better than nothing.
After all, if the enemy can break through the front two defenses, then this is mostly impossible to resist by relying on the protection of the floating city itself. (End of chapter)
