Chapter 1061: Who said magic can't be used by the people
It seems that after being out for so long, the stupid bird has also learned a lot of things, such as using utensils and drinking soup, and when eating, I was very pleased to see that the little crow finally stopped grabbing food directly, and when drinking soup, he would not smash his head into the soup basin: you must know that when she was at home, these two things alone made this stupid bird bother, and every time she ate, I wanted to set up a bunker next to her, and she could give you a meal to the extent that the food was evenly distributed in a radius of two meters.
It's much better now, and although it still looks a little clumsy, the little crow can really drink soup with a spoon and eat bread with chopsticks in it—it's better than grasping it with your hands, right?
Wanting to experience more of the local food (and by the way, to prevent a certain big-stomach queen from eating a meal that the whole city is looking at), we went around the meal for two hours and changed several battle locations. In fact, sometimes I envy Sandora, envy her surprisingly strong appetite and endless amount of food, if you go to a place you have never been to to experience local food, then this talent obviously has a huge advantage: you can achieve the results of half a month of other people's eating in one meal, ordinary people will survive half to death after eating a few bites of each local food to the fullest, and Sandora almost set off for another meal two hundred kilometers away after going around the whole city...... Later, I succeeded in admonishing him.
"Whoa...... I feel quite full. My foodie queen finally patted her belly contentedly, and let out a somewhat satisfied sigh, and I couldn't help but cast my curious gaze on her slender waist, well, the prime minister's belly can hold a boat on Sandora is a declarative sentence.
"It tastes good. And they are all civilian dishes, and there are a lot of tricks," Lin Xue exhaled, as if she was relaxing her stomach, "This world is quite researched in eating, I see that the snacks here are not less than ours over there, especially the three-layer fruit cup just now, how do you think they remembered?" The person who invented that thing must have had a lot of stuff and had no place to spoil it......"
"There's a lot of fun here." Lilina grinned, "As you know, this planet is already one size larger than Earth, and it has more than sixty-four percent of the land area, and most of it is habitable, which means that the living space here is several times greater than that on Earth - not counting the Lost Worlds. In such a large world, there are more than a dozen highly intelligent races with independent cultural systems. Some of them are native species, and some are hybrids that emerged after several faults in history. Independence from the original ethnic and cultural system. With so many races and cultures, all of which have survived from time immemorial to the present, you can count how much you can toss and eat more than you can eat - of course, there are some races that you may not be able to accept, such as the roasted stone eggs of the hill elves and the raw meat feast of the Wards. But I don't think Sister Sandora should be under pressure about this. ”
Shandora was already leisurely at this time: "Ah Jun, you must drag this world realm to the imperial area—definitely!" ”
After eating and drinking, everyone seemed to be extremely energetic. This may have something to do with the fact that the two high-explosive and catalyst duo of Asa and Lilina have finally come together again: as long as the two of them are together they are basically crushing everyday life, you can imagine the terrible combination of a doer whose mind is often in parallel space and a troublemaker whose morality is often in another dimension. But fortunately, this time, the goal of the two of them is to play around, not to destroy the world. So it took us almost a day to almost circle the whole Sentu port, well. The more important characteristic urban areas have been circled, after all, this is also a large city. The guide is of course Lilina, although she has only been here for more than a day (they only rushed here after confirming the teleportation location of the ancient garden to the mother continent, and the four of them had been staying somewhere else before), but this girl can almost talk to the locals along the way, needless to say, Lilina didn't do anything after coming here, just desperately asked the locals about things here, in order to be able to talk in front of me all day today, and then change a possible compliment. In the face of this girl's extraordinary way of working, I really have no way at all. …,
As a transit station-like city, Sentu has a large area, but there are not many residential areas and places that can be called characteristic landscapes, and the blocks facing the "port" (the locals sometimes call that large plain "dry port", which is quite realistic) are basically occupied by various hotels and rental warehouses, and one-third of the city is also related to the turnover of materials, there is nothing to see, and the more distinctive places are the "special materials trading market" and "secret magic meeting" in addition to the central square, The former is the most familiar place for explorers, they find rare materials or broken copper and iron that may have research value from those dangerous areas of the Lost World that have not yet been fully controlled by humans, and sell them on the "special materials trading market", the buyers are basically alchemists and scholars, the former has a lower status in this world, and the latter is highly respected, this is a place where two very different classes have to come into direct contact, prosperous, grotesque - the harvest of explorers often fluctuates greatly, They themselves were loose and unorganized, and no one could monopolize the circulation of goods in this trade, so to this day this method of trading like wholesale of small commodities still robustly exists. The "Special Goods Market" is located right next to the central square of the city, in front of the dark alley area.
The "Secret Method" is located at the other end of the city, almost far from the city, almost to the outskirts, because the "Secret Method" needs a relatively quiet environment, and the place is basically full of researchers who need to be quiet.
Lilina highlighted the Esoteric Rite, which she praised as a public facility for mages, alchemists, religious believers, and other strange researchers in this world, providing basic materials and venue services to all applicants, as well as information inquiries and business commissions. In other words, if you are an alchemist who needs to go to another place to do research, then you can find a secret puja in the local area and pay a certain fee. Rent a laboratory to start your own work, of course, you can also find accommodation here with much better facilities than in the city, but the price is much higher than in the city, but there is a saying, engaging in scientific research is a money-burning business......
After listening to Lilina's introduction, I felt that this public facility called the Esoteric Festival is a bit like a public laboratory with a high degree of freedom, and it also functions as a library. The Esoteric Society does not belong to any collective, it resembles a complex of open museums, libraries, laboratories, and talent markets on Earth. There are individuals who have invested in the establishment, and there are also large chambers of commerce that have invested in the establishment, and the size is different, this is something unique to this world, and it is also the place where we will rest today - Lilina has rented an area here for a long time, with a piece of Madison's feather.
"We're religious," Lilina enthused. "Raven God Cultist! The religious environment of this world is too free, and there are many gods. Even gods with only three or five believers exist. If you make up a god yourself, there will be no people from other churches to attack, ah, this world is simply a paradise tailored for this Pope...... Here we are. ”
I was still busy analyzing how Lilina's god-filled world could prevent a religious war from breaking out under normal logical conditions, only to realize that the group had already arrived in the suburbs. It is located at the other end of the city, directly opposite the port turnaround, and there are no ordinary residential areas around, the buildings are sparse, and there are hardly any ordinary civilians in coarse cloth clothes walking around the streets. Most of the people who walked on the freshly sprinkled and damp stone pavement were dressed in a classy way. He looks like a scholar-like person with a lot of culture. Although there is no shortage of unkempt scholars among them, and most academics are not very good at taking care of their own lives. But a slightly more successful scholar will always have one or two assistants around him to take care of himself, so the mages and alchemists that can be seen outside are more or less dressed like that. …,
I looked around and saw that the scattered houses were distinct from the rest of the city: they were taller, their lines shifted from thick and straight to slender and elegant, and the main body of the building was no longer a rough structure of wood and stone, but a more advanced construction technique that looked at it. These tall buildings with elegant lines are all white, there are no gaps in the brickwork, obviously the walls have been treated with something like paint, and all the buildings are covered with golden glass, and there is a sense of golden splendor when you look at the scenery around me, and I really want to sigh when I look at the surrounding scene, and the people who are involved with the mages are indeed a group of rich people - at least the chambers of commerce that invest in them. In other words, the most beautiful building in Shadow City seems to be the Mage Tower in the Silvermoon District.
"Magic and knowledge are elegant arts," Lilina read the line of words floating in the air in front of the entrance to the plaza, and then added her own opinion, "So most of the people who study this thing are sassy, and besides, most of the researchers in this world are considered magical, so almost all the secret magic meetings are in this style." After sighing, she took out a metal plate the size of a matchbox, shook it in the air, and a column of light blocking us disappeared out of thin air: Is this the access control system of the otherworldly realm?
The entire arcane area is an independent area about the size of the central square of the city, there is no wall around it, but it is surrounded by a circle of beams of light that point straight to the sky, these beams are fences formed by magic power, and what they excite is a row of metal discs embedded in the ground, the discs are depicted with complex magic array patterns, and the discs can also sense the energy field of the "key" waving nearby, if it is interfered with by the key, the beam will disappear for a while, it turns out that even if there is no high technology on the earth, Magical civilizations can also do a lot of sci-fi things, such as laser barriers and inductive monthly passes.
"The place where we live is in the tower in front of us, in this world, there is no population pressure, and high-strength building materials can only be produced by alchemists and magicians, so the buildings are usually not too high, only some scholars like to live in high places, one is to open their minds, and the other is to make the tabloid reporters who come to interview them tired to death in the middle of the road: there are things similar to elevators in the tower, but in any case, the elevators and teleportation arrays in the secret facilities are not open to reporters, This is the basic moral code of all scholars in this world," Lilina led us to a tall white tower, the base of which was at least 100 meters in diameter and four or five hundred meters in height: in this world where the average building height was only three or four stories. This is simply a giant-like building, it can be seen that the experts and scholars in this world are about to hate those tabloid reporters crazy, if it weren't for the material science, they would definitely build the Burj Khalifa in the whole world, Lilina still swiped the card at the door, and then led everyone into the hall on the first floor of the tower, "We are on the twentieth floor, the whole floor has been wrapped, and the feathers of the little birds are really a good thing." I'll be able to buy the whole Sentu when she's moulting......"
The first floor of the white tower is a circular hall, yes, there are no other rooms on the whole floor, only a particularly wide hall, the floor of the hall is paved with green and light gray intersecting smooth floor tiles, and a thick pillar can be seen on average every ten meters to support the high ceiling, and there is a gorgeous crystal chandelier on the head. The whole hall was lit up: that bright, steady glow, clearly not lit with fuel. Take a circle around the hall. You can see a lot of semi-arc-shaped seats like the front desk. Each service desk has uniformed staff on duty, showing eight teeth of smile to every passing upright walking target, many people in different clothes and hurried looks walking around the hall, this atmosphere gives me the first feeling that I will push the door out of the door to see may not be the otherworldly world, but the civil .........airliner that is about to take off.
What is even more eye-opening is the four hollow crystal pillars in the center of the hall, which are completely transparent. The inside diameter is about three meters, and I was wondering what this thing was for. Inside one of the pillars, a suspended metal platform suddenly descended from the upper floor, and there were four or five old men in purple robes on the platform - this Nima is a sightseeing elevator!
There is definitely a civil aviation park outside the tower! This place is definitely a new airport, right?
A group of people took the elevator of this otherworldly magical version. Although everyone has seen the elevator, but with the magic-driven anti-gravity sightseeing elevator we really met the first time, the development of magic in this world has obviously gone far in terms of people's livelihood, I suddenly remembered that when I was eating in the central square, the stall owner's stove seemed to be automatic temperate with a blower function......
Vanilla had a curious expression on her face that she didn't dare to show too much, and several times she wanted to crouch down to study the glowing lines on the suspended metal platform, and it was clear that for a girl like her, who came from the mountains and had never seen the world, or even knew a few words, the things here were still full of novelty - even though she had been in Port Sentu for almost two days. And the stupid bird Madiwen has been trying to smash the transparent shell of the sightseeing elevator with her face, and I watched it for a long time before I realized that she wanted to peck at the shiny "glass" with her mouth. Bing Tis was betting with 123 what the rated load of this magically powered anti-gravity elevator would be, and the former decided to pull out a ton of rocks from his pocket space and smash it on the platform under his feet, but I was told to die. Qianqian has been grinning at the floor passing by outside the elevator, trying to attract the attention of others, and then Lilina couldn't help but remind: "The elevator above the second floor can't see the inside from the outside, this is a one-way glass ......" So Qianqian was disappointed and asked dissatisfiedly: "Then what does it mean that they make the first floor transparent on both sides?" ”
Lilina shrugged: "The main purpose is to get rid of it. ”
The elevator stops on the twentieth floor, and the layout of the tower goes up from the seventh floor (or maybe the sixth floor?). It's all the same, a bit like an office complex, with four transparent pipes extending a corridor in each of the four directions, and rooms on either side of the corridor are basically not too big, some of them are used for accommodation of less than two people, and some can be used as small laboratories, activity rooms or reading rooms. However, the entire second floor of this place was owned by Lilina, and it is said that in order to "lay the first foundation for the Raven God Cult", she has bought this floor permanently as an office, and she doesn't care if the room is a room or not.
And just as we stepped out of the "elevator" and were about to quickly throw ourselves on the bed to thank our legs and feet (we had already walked around the city today), a small girl suddenly walked out of a room in front of us.
How can there be outsiders here?
The little girl seemed to be startled when she saw our big group, but after seeing Lilina and the four, she immediately showed a reassuring smile, and walked over quickly, I noticed that the other party was only about 1.4 meters tall, but she had the mature figure of an adult, she was wearing a long black dress, and there were two silver ribbons hanging straight down on her chest - my eyes couldn't help but focus on the little crow and vanilla, and their dresses also hung down on their breasts, but they were golden, I thought it was the decoration of this dress, but this short girl with a silver ribbon on her chest made me doubt my own conjecture. In addition to the silver ribbon, there was another thing that people had to pay attention to in the other party's outfit was the hem of her skirt: there were many golden feather ornaments, which were the same things as the little crow and vanilla clothes. …,
In addition to the clothes, the bigger attention of the other party is on her head - the girl has a pair of beautiful yellow cat ears, the same color as her short hair.
Cat Ears ...... Cat Ear ...... Cat......
"Eh, mom, child, her dad is on it!" Bubbles went up with a strange scream on the spot, and the small head of one meter one hung on the small body of one meter four and swayed back and forth, while stretching out a hand to pinch people's ears quite rudely, and the mouth was a big string of whines and wows, "This is a little cute!" The cat lady who has the cuteness of this world.,Hurry up and sign a contract with me to become a cute girl.,Come and give my sister a ...... Huh? Yes! You can't do this, child, dad! You can't interfere with your wife's normal hobbies in life! Put me down! I'm not Lilina, you can't do this to me! It's unreasonable! Little Bubbles, come and help your mom! ”
I picked up this hopeless guy and dangled in the air for a long time, and after tossing for a while, the world was finally quiet. At this time, look at the short girl with cat ears - the fluff on the ears is blowing up, and according to my experience with fox dogs, it is definitely very scared.
"Let me introduce to you, what is her name, she is one of the first few believers of the Raven God, I took it with me when I set off, and the main task here is what it is."
Lilina pointed to the cat lady who was already at a loss, and happily introduced. (To be continued) RQ
