Standing by the window, Charlemagne silently looked at the lights of the city below.

He had been in this floating city for more than ten days, and during this time, he had been discussing magic with the mages here, and even as a legendary mage, he had gained a lot.

But during this time, he also discovered that the mages of Cloudsdale would always avoid topics related to the city in front of him, and they would not hesitate to prevent him from leaving the 'Central Tower' to go to other parts of Cloudsdale.

If he had been tougher, the mages might not have been able to stop him, but that wasn't what he was here for.

The structure of the city is deformed!

From the time he came to Cloudsdale until now, Charlemagne only realized this, and he had not been able to leave the Central Tower except for that day.

Looking back now, it seems that the first two times he came was the same, except that at that time he was obsessed with magic and was obsessed with discussions with other mages, so he didn't notice it, but now that he looks at it, he realizes that it is quite strange.

Before that, he could not have stated that he wanted to go to a sensitive area such as a 'magic furnace' or a 'library', but only that he wanted to go out and wander.

However, instead of direct dissuasion, various 'accidents' followed, making it impossible for him to leave the Central Tower and travel to other areas.

For example, the explosion of the laboratory couldn't stop him at all, so the mages in Cloudsdale used another method - one breakthrough after another in magic technology.

The mages of Cloudsdale showed an attitude of accustomedness, as if such a situation was not a matter of accumulation, but a kind of normalcy that was difficult for him to understand as an outsider.

However, it is impossible for a subject that can arouse the interest of a legendary mage like him to be completed in a short period of time, and there is a high possibility that there will be a fatal problem such as 'wrong direction', even if Charlemagne conducts magical research after becoming a legendary mage, let alone other mages.

This kind of task cannot be completed overnight, and this level of knowledge is not something that ordinary mages can analyze, in addition to a sufficient amount of knowledge, it also requires 'inspiration'.

That's why Charlemagne sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't point it out.

It's just that he also raised his doubts with the other mages, and got vague answers from them like 'thick accumulation'.

But in the days since he entered Cloudsdale, how could he not have noticed any mages who had published corresponding papers?

Judging from all these aspects, he had already guessed that Cloudsdale was a big problem, but he didn't know what they were hiding.

Maybe it's a deal with an evil race, maybe it's the poor life of the people at the bottom, or something else - in short, there must be something in this cloud city that he can't discover!

Looking out the window at the freshly lit skylight, Charlemagne got up silently.

It's dawn, and it's time for the mages who live in the tower to get moving!

With a slight bend of his index finger at the door, and with a flash of light on the door, Charlemagne opened the thick wooden door and walked out, just in time to bump into a mage who hurried past him.

Charlemagne saluted the mage, and then he watched as the mage left his room with eager steps, his back disappearing into the far corner.

Without any mood swings in his eyes, Charlemagne silently closed the door and slowly walked away in silence.

There is a dining room on the second floor of the Central Tower, and mages also need to eat, no matter how fanatical they are about magic research, so fanatical that they forget to sleep and eat, but eating is always a human need, and if they don't eat, mages can't even keep their brains active.

If you transform into a lich, it won't be so troublesome, but the lich's life form is spurned by almost all mages, because once transformed into a lich, the mage itself will have an inevitable prejudice against everything in the world.

It is impossible for mages to accept that their minds are being controlled by negative energy, and they are unable to keep their heads calm enough.

The food tastes good, and there is food from all over the world, which in the past was only available in a floating city like Cloudsdale that can move around the world.

They didn't boast to me about the merits of this Cloudsdale, not a single one!

Charlemagne remembers that the first two times he came, there were people who showed him about it, why not this time?

Unless they already know what has happened on the continent recently, and everyone knows it!

From this point of view, Cloudsdale is even more suspicious.

The news here's closure is notoriously, and all of them here are a group of mages, so there's no reason to pay attention to the outside world, and it's only been the last half a year that mainland commerce has begun to prosper, and since there is the [Cargo Teleportation Technique], mainland commerce has only begun to develop rapidly.

Foods from all over the world also flowed to other places through these channels, but why did these mages in Cloudsdale know?

Unless they are always keeping an eye on what is happening on the mainland!

Just test it......

"Archmage Adrian, do you know the magic furnace in Wende City?" Charlemagne asked suddenly.

Adrian, who was sitting beside him, didn't know what he was calculating, was stunned when he heard this, "Ah, I know! ”

"Then do you know that the chief maid of the Duchy of Sorrow recently used four magic energy furnaces to build a barrier in that principality?" Charlemagne leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you want to go there and learn the manufacturing technology of the magic energy furnace? After all, the magic energy furnace in Cloudsdale has been used for so many years, at least for thousands of years, right? No matter how much you maintain it, it should have caused a lot of wear and tear, so you are not afraid of ......?"

"This thing......"

Adrian frowned and sighed, "It's not that we don't want to go, it's just that a few mentors have concerns. ”

"Concerns?" Charlemagne raised an eyebrow.

Glancing at the confusion on Charlemagne's face, Adrian hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "That head maid has taken out a lot of technology related to the Arcane Empire, so there is no way to be sure if she is the vanguard of the return of the Arcane Empire - of course, the above is just my speculation!"

After that, he saw Charlemagne's face clear, without asking any more questions, and looking thoughtful.

The Magic Furnace in Cloudsdale is indeed worn out—Charlemagne has come up with such a message from what he just said.

This is not something to come as a surprise, after all, it has been in continuous operation for nearly a thousand years or even thousands of years, and even if it has been maintained, it is inevitable that it will wear out.

However, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is Adrian, he just showed a 'sorrowful' look!

At this moment, Charlemagne finally figured out the attitude of the mages in Cloudsdale towards the outside world and even the 'gods'.

These people are 'lying'!

"To be honest, I'd love to visit Cloudsdale, but it's a pity that it's busy......"

After understanding everything, Charlemagne shook his head and sighed: "As the second seat of the Court Mage Association, I still have a lot of things to do, and this visit will probably only end here!"

He's figured out what he wants to know, and it's time to go back.

"Really, that's a shame......" Adrian sighed as well, a look of regret on his face.

Then, he stood up and smiled, "Your Excellency Charlemagne, I'll send you away, the Mystery of Cloudsdale doesn't record your identity. ”

Charlemagne also stood up and bowed slightly, "Okay." ”

On the way out of Cloudsdale, he had to be extremely vigilant!

As long as he doesn't return to Norman, he can't relax!

Even if he was mentally calculated or unintentional, he was able to guess so much through clichés, did they really not realize that they were clichés?

Oh, not necessarily!(https:)
