Chapter Eighty-Six: Lordaeron's Orbital Module
Leo originally guessed that the metal pod might be some kind of teleportation device, but what he didn't expect was that there was a row of seats inside. On each seat, there is a rope that looks like a seat belt.
Silriman waved his arms and said, "Hurry up, everyone sit down and secure themselves with ropes." All must be quiet until I give permission!"
Such a request made Leo more and more puzzled, is this metal capsule going to fly into space?
After a while, everyone was ready, and there was no movement or any language from Silimane, and an indescribable feeling suddenly came.
The sense of direction is stripped away, the sense of gravity is stripped away, and if it weren't for the ropes, Leo has no doubt that he would be floating. The only thing to be thankful for is that the eyesight is still there, and it makes people barely feel comfortable.
"Is this teleportation, or what is it doing?" Leo guessed in his mind, eager to see what was going on outside, but it was clear that it couldn't have been possible.
In a strange environment, it seems that the passage of time has slowed down a lot.
I don't know how long it took, but just when everyone was about to lose their patience, the situation finally changed.
The sense of direction returns, the sense of gravity returns, and with it, there is extremely strong acceleration!
Leo knew it was acceleration because his back was pressed against the seat, and under the tremendous pressure, everything in his stomach that had not been fully digested was almost overlaid.
"I'm dying......" Sanders' expression was full of pain, and his hands were clenched into fists.
He had barely made a sound when Silliman's roar rang out in the metal cabin: "Shut up!
Then, after another long ordeal, the acceleration finally disappeared and was replaced by deceleration.
This discovery convinced Leo of his conjecture.
This metal pod is supposed to teleport to a certain height, and then accelerate its movement through the main material world to Lordaeron. And not through a spatial channel.
However, he still couldn't understand why Lordaeron had to do this, because in his opinion, it was completely time-consuming, laborious and annoying! It was obviously the capital of magic, but it didn't use the most representative teleportation magic, and I really didn't know what the big guys at the top of the pyramid thought.
After a few minutes, the deceleration also stopped, and the metal ball came to a complete stop after a period of corresponding steady movement.
This time. The hatch opened wide, revealing a strange face.
To say that it is eccentric, of course, is from a human point of view. The creature in front of him was clearly a humanoid, but it had brownish-red skin, reddish-brown eyes, and a pair of horns on its forehead. Undoubtedly, these are the characteristics of creatures in the lower realm.
The difference, though, was that the creature in front of him had smooth skin, and it wasn't covered with scales, and he grinned in the middle of his mouth. Teeth are also not sharp, which are human characteristics.
"Tevelyn......" Leia whispered.
Unexpectedly, even though she tried her best to control the volume, she was still heard by the other party. The humanoid creature looked at Leia, winked and smiled, "That's right. Beautiful lady, I'm a Tevelin. ”
"What is Tevelin?" asked Saunders in the back to Leo. In his mind, Leo's favorite thing to do is to read books, and he always knows many strange things.
Leo does have some knowledge of Sanders' problems. And the man didn't seem to have any objection to his identity, so he replied, "It's a hybrid of the devil and the human in the underworld." ”
"Devil!" Sanderston was startled, and his expression instantly stiffened when he looked at the man.
Siriman glared at Sanders. Then he looked at Teflin and said, "We are from the Calente Empire's Rivetun Academy of Magic, is Your Excellency here to receive us?"
"Yes, but I can't call me Your Excellency, you can call me Briant Heslamisack. Tevelyn said in a natural tone, "My position is a senior researcher at the Council's Lower Realm Office, a professional maintenance engineer for the Speed Orbitometer, and an occasional part-time guest receptionist. Now that you can get out of the orbital module, I'll take you to your apartment to rest. ”
Several people hurriedly walked out of the so-called orbital module.
Only then did Leo see that the receptionist named Brian Heslamisak was actually a high-level mage of up to level 9! Not only that, but his academic level had also reached a very noble junior magister!
As for whether the surname Heslamisak is of hellish origin, it doesn't seem to matter here anymore.
"This is Lordaeron, who actually let a level 9 mage be a ......," Sanders couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, they were in a large room, and if they hadn't met Brian Heslamisac, they would almost have thought they were still on the island of Milan, because the environment here was almost exactly the same as the previous room.
As soon as everyone walked out, the metal pod fell silent and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Silriman didn't know Brian Heslamisack, but he had been to Lordaeron many times and was relatively familiar with the place, and was able to talk to Brian Heslamisak smoothly.
Leaving the room and passing through an uninhabited passage, the six finally came outside.
The next moment, except for Siliman, the remaining five people all let out exclamations. Even Rubersky, as a teacher, was not a little better than the students, his eyes widened, his mouth wide open, and he was completely shocked.
Leo had imagined in his mind what Lordaeron was like countless times, but it was only then that he knew that there was really a limit to human imagination, because the scene in front of him was far more magnificent than he imagined!
I don't know if it's to make an unforgettable impression on people who arrive here for the first time, but at the moment they are on a small floating island that can be seen in the distance, and behind them is a magic tower more than ten stories high.
But that's nothing, what's really amazing is the countless magic towers under the many floating islands in front of you!
Yes, countless magic towers lined up in front of you, none of them the same, different sizes, different heights, different colors. Apparently they are all owned by different people. But there is one thing that all magic towers are exactly the same, and that is that they are topped with a Lordaeron emblem that glows with magical brilliance.
Several people had good eyesight, and in an instant, they had already discovered that there were not many pedestrians on the street between the magic towers, and all of them were magic golems instead.
And at the end of the line of sight, there is a dark night sky, and countless stars are twinkling. Between the stars and Lordaeron, a barely tangible film spreads out. Enveloping this incomparably large area.
In the starry sky, instead of flashing with brilliant brilliance, Leo knew that it was a void storm, and even if the legendary powerhouse fell into it, it would be more than lucky.
There is no doubt that this is indeed a huge city built in the void, rooted in magic.
According to Leo's observations, this should be a small planet. Or it can be called a comet because it is curved in the direction it extends forward from any angle.
Brian Heslamisack has seen a lot of reactions from a few people. "As you can see, the scene in front of you is the famous City of a Thousand Towers, the City of Magic. As long as you reach the realm of legend. You can build a magic tower here. ”
Seaberton looked at the countless magic towers and exclaimed, "My God, there are so many legendary mages here?"
Brian Heslamisak shook his head, "How can there be so many. It's just a part, and there are a lot of legends that don't like to live somewhere for a long time. As for the other magic towers, most of them have other uses. ”
"What's the use?" asked Sanders curiously.
Although Brian Heslammisak has a high level, he has no arrogance, and patiently replied: "The various magic principles of the laboratory, the editorial office of the "Magic Light" magazine, the energy supply core, the upper council, the lower council, the memorial, etc., in short, there are many. Don't worry, it's also part of my job to show you around here, so I'll introduce you to the situation here one by one. ”
As he spoke, he didn't see any movement, and a magic puppet with a pair of wings had already flown in from a distance and stopped steadily in front of several people.
"Grab this, and then you can walk around here. Brian Heslamisak first distributed a few small badges to the crowd, then bowed slightly, "Next, I am honored to invite you to embark on a short but definitely unforgettable trip. ”
............
Half an hour later, the flying golem finally landed slowly in front of a building.
As Brian Heslamisak said, this trip was truly unforgettable for everyone in the forest.
Everything in this city is inextricably linked to magic.
The clean road is spotless, and many brooms float in the air, sweeping the road on their own.
The ornately decorated fountain sends clear water to a height of more than ten meters, and then transforms into a variety of shapes driven by magical power.
Verdant trees and lush grass thrive under the light of the enchanted sun.
The passers-by who happened to meet were either level 8 or 9, or junior and intermediate magisters, and even a few legendary mages!
So much so that the doors that open and close automatically in the Principles of Magic Laboratory and the constantly changing color signs on the editorial office of Magic Light magazine are nothing.
Along the way, the crowd also met many contestants from other countries and academies, and most of them were also immersed in amazement.
Feeling like he had come full circle and was back not far from the starting point, Leo asked, "Mr. Heslamisack, are we on a sphere?"
"Absolutely. Brian affirmed.
Confirming his point, Leo quickly thought of another question: "So where does my gravitational pull come from? ”
Brian Heslamisack was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect this kind of question to come out of Leo's mouth.
"You've studied gravity?" he asked, looking at Leo with interest.
"Just happen to know some. Leo replied. In fact, he probably knows more about gravity than anyone here. After all, because of its particularity, this world is often able to obtain strength directly, so there are many defects in mechanics, especially in celestial mechanics.
Brian Heslamisak nodded and replied, "Like any other facility, it relies on a magic array. ”
"How much energy is needed!" Leo was surprised for the first time.
It is understandable if the magic golems, isolation covers, and other application facilities rely on the magic array to supply energy, after all, even if the consumption is not small, but with Lordaeron's strength, it can be fully supported.
But...... In such a large area, the gravitational magic array is laid, and it must be maintained, and the consumption of this energy has increased by geometric progression!
"Well, that's going to start with the location of Lordaeron, let's talk about it as we go. ”
............
After a while, Brian Heslamisack sent the group to the building, and asked the magic golem to arrange a comfortable room for each of them.
In the process, Leo finally had a preliminary understanding of why Lordaeron was able to run.
Originally, the location chosen by Lordaeron was not determined at random, but was deliberately built on the core of the original magical network.
A long, long time ago, Kelthuga, who became the "God of Knowledge and Magic" through magical warfare and the First Covenant, established an unprecedented magical network in order to better rule over all mages.
The Church of Magic clearly stipulates that mages will no longer be allowed to build their own models of spells, and that any magic must be extracted from the magical network provided by Kelthuga. In this way, Kelsuga controls all the mages, and if he wants to, even if he is a legendary mage, he may not be able to cast even a level 0 mage hand.
Later, Antonidas overthrew Kelthuga, but instead of destroying the magical network entirely, he retained its powerful core, which he used to extract the endless Void Storm and transform it into controllable magical energy.
However, this energy is too large to be used to supply Lordaeron's needs, and it also seriously affects the surrounding spatial structure. Therefore, it is very difficult and dangerous to teleport directly to Lordaeron.
There was no choice but to develop the orbital module and set up the teleportation node somewhere outside of Lordaeron, and as for the direct process to Lordaeron, it had to be physically reached. (To be continued.) )
