Throne of Magical Arcana

Fernando waved his hand, and said sullenly: "There is one, but it is of no value. A floating city that can fall from the sky by itself can only be a failed work, and it will only lead us to the wrong path!"

He ridiculously ridiculed the legendary magician who had built the floating city, thinking that the great success he preached only stopped on his mouth.

"Floating city" is the same research direction after the three magic empire developed to the peak. They tried to live like gods in the sky, overlooking the ordinary people, but a city can do short-term floating, long-term and stable The state has always been difficult to achieve, becoming a problem that all parties want to overcome,

In this process, many legendary magicians declared that they have completed the construction of the floating city, but so far, there is no floating city flying in the sky, and some have just been involved in the dawn war shortly after flying, becoming The distinctive attack target was destroyed by the church and the noble coalition forces, and some had various problems. After barely floating for months, years, or more than ten years, they disintegrated or crashed on their own.

Because of the strength Douglas showed, Roland smiled enthusiastically: "We just found its wreckage, um, it's called" Allinge ", the famous" Sky City ", but we lack the core The structure of the magic array cannot be repaired at all, and can only be used as a secret base. "

Douglas didn't care, smiled warmly and said: "Failed works also have its role, can remind us what mistakes we should avoid. I have always been interested in the effects of spells such as floating and flying. I want to understand the laws and reasons they contain. So I hope the union will let me study 'Allinge'. "

"No problem, we will ask them to the vice president. With your magic level and credit, there is definitely no problem!" Roland almost patted his chest and promised.

He clearly knows that there is currently only one Archmage who can "time stop" in the United Trade Union, and one more means that the essence of combat power has increased. And people who are so proud of Fernando appreciate Douglas's ability in mathematics and science. Admire, so he also kind of likes that Glass can grow into a strong man who needs to look up and rely on.

Douglas nodded: "Then trouble you, in what direction are we heading now?"

"To go to the headquarters, you have to go to Luntat." Roland gave a meaningful smile.

Douglas said slightly in amazement: "Rentart? The city where the headquarters of the parish of Holm?"

"Yes, it is also the capital of the Kingdom of Holm." Roland nodded with a smile.

…………

The sun was bloody, and a carriage drove into Luntat before the city gate closed.

Crossing the streets full of fishy smell, the carriage stopped in front of an ordinary hotel.

"Grilled Fish Inn ..." Douglas stepped off the carriage and smiled at the weird name.

Fernando's voice is a little sharp and authentic: "He is the best and only good at grilling fish. I suggest you take one, otherwise he will be very angry and think you don't know how to eat."

He jumped straight down, splashing water on the ground.

After heavy rain, the entire Luntat is full of stagnant water, but unlike small cities, the roads here are made of stones, which are not full of sludge and look clean.

Seeing this scene, Douglas said with a sense of emotion: "Lentat is an important city operated by the Empire on the side of the Storm Strait. It has been built well in all aspects, but the result is still occupied by the church ..."

He was born in Antilles, and in his bones he felt that he was a man of the Sylvanas magic empire.

"Someday we will be back!" Fernando suppressed his voice with confidence.

Roland, who temporarily acted as a coachman, turned his head and said loudly: "Don't be a statue here, go in and talk."

After all the exchanges, he found that Douglas got along well, there was no common arrogance of other Archmages, except that there were more problems, there was nothing bad, and therefore, it was relatively less restrictive.

The hotel is very small and very old, there are few tables in the hall, and there are three or four guests sitting sparsely.

Behind the bar stood a grey-haired man, rubbing his head and rubbing his cup.

"I can't see my fingers anymore, and don't light candles! Stinginess is one of the most disgusting of all your shortcomings!" Fernando accused as soon as he entered the door.

At dusk, the windows of the hotel lobby are very narrow, and the darkness seems to have come early.

The boss raised his head, revealing a square face, his left eye was dead green, turbid wood, lifeless, and it made people feel terrified.

"Saving is a kind of life attitude, you will never understand, the little guy filled with flaming glue in his heart." The other eye of the boss is beautiful green, deep and dark, and it seems that he can't see the bottom.

Fernando was also not angry and turned to Douglas: "Old Green, the owner of this shop, an outdated knight, the left eye is the result of the failure of blood fusion."

In this hotel, he did not take into account the taboos that could not be mentioned, such as magic and blood fusion, and the three or four guests who were drinking spirits and grilled fish did not respond at all, enjoying life as if they were caring for themselves. What Fernando said just now was the illusion of Douglas.

After speaking, Fernando pointed to Douglas: “You can call him Douglas, a guest from across the mainland, hoping to join us, has passed my test, this is the details I gave to Vice President Rig.”

He flew a dark yellow parchment to Old Green.

Old Green's hands were still wiping the wine glass, but the parchment was flying slower and slower, like an animal caught in a swamp, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to move.

Squeezing the parchment paper with the freshly wiped glass, Old Green said blankly: "Young man, come here with a honey grilled fish? This is the best food in the whole Luntt, the whole Holm region, the entire Straits territory , You will not regret tasting it! "

He seemed eager to sell his honey grilled fish.

Douglas was reminded of Fernando's hidden grievances and sarcasm and smiled: "I look forward to it."

"There are not many young people who know how to appreciate now, and some guys can't calm down to enjoy the food." Old Green said ironically, walking from the dark door behind the bar to the kitchen.

"This is an experimental knight secretly cultivated by Fernando's teacher. He has a close relationship with the Hoffenberg family. After his teacher fell, he did not want to surrender to the church. He opened this hotel in Luntat and used it as a secret relay for union contacts. Station. "Roland parked the carriage and hurried in, giving Douglas a supplementary introduction." Old Green will transfer the mission report to Vice President Rig, who will discuss and decide before entering the headquarters. Rest assured, You certainly have no problems, you can wait for the good news tomorrow. "

"Thank you." Douglas nodded with a smile. "Actually, I'm not too anxious. Although the principle of flying and floating is the main direction of my research, I still have a lot of things to think about."

Fernando's bright red eyes looked at Douglas suddenly: "What other research do you have?"

Along the way, the discussions between Fernando and Douglas mainly focused on mathematics. Although he has always been stubbornly degraded in the face, he is paying more and more attention to the ability of Douglas. Therefore, after hearing him mention other fields at this time, it is inevitable that he is a little eager. And hope to hear more thought-provoking views.

"Some trivial things." Douglas did not have the idea of ​​keeping secrets, pulled a chair to sit down, and exchanged various magic problems with Fernando, a young talented magician who responded very quickly.

This discussion was for most of the day, even though the clouds were covering the moon and Fernando was reluctant to leave without showing his fingers, and the honey grilled fish was only eaten a little, causing Old Green to blow his beard and stare beside him-if If he has a beard and good eyes.

It wasn't until midnight that Fernando returned to his room with his brain full of doubts, and Douglas entered the room prepared for himself, watching the few stars in the sky through the clouds, and feeling a long-lost peace.

Should I be able to calm down and study for a while?

He thought so.

…………

As soon as it was dawning, Douglas heard Roland's familiar footsteps from far and near, and finally knocked on his door.

"Douglas, President Rigg is here in person. He is a senior Archmage." Roland was excited by Douglas' attention.

There was a trace of rejoicing in Douglas' heart. After all, he was treated so seriously, and anyone would be a little happy: "Roland, please take me to see President Rig."

Roland led Douglas into the secret room on the ground floor of the hotel, and saw an old man with a black soft cap. He had dark hair and blue eyes, a thin face, clear wrinkles, and a slightly curved nose, like an old man. Falcon, but those eyes are restrained and deep, as if hiding countless secrets.

"Welcome to you, Douglas." Vice President Rig wore a high-necked coat popular in Luntat, just like a real veteran nobleman.

Douglas smiled and saluted: "It's an honor to meet you, President Rigg."

Roland looked at the room: "Fernando is not down yet? I'll go find him."

"No, I mainly came to see Douglas." Riggle shook his head slowly. "Douglas, you and Fernando raided the referee. The killing of the 'Hunter' proved that you had no problem, but you did this. It also caused us tremendous trouble. Under the leadership of the "Heart of Time", clergy, night watchmen, and nobles strangled more than thirty magicians. "

"This action is mainly to show our value to the nobles! Those magicians should have been exposed long ago but the church deliberately did not act!" Roland defended loudly.

Riggle looked at him coldly, letting his words come to an abrupt end: "This is not something you need to consider."

He turned his head and continued to look at Douglas: "So, the union has agreed to your joining, and will also give you a certain punishment, will send you to study the wreckage of the" Aringe "floating city for three years. After that, you will directly become the vice president of the union! "

Is this suppressing and giving good hope?Douglas thought with a smile on his heart, these are not important to him, the important thing is to have the opportunity to study the "Alinge" floating city wreckage.

"I have no opinion." Douglas nodded gently, Roland wanted to refute but dared not speak, his face flushed a little red.

Rigg finally smiled: "I hope you can work out a real floating city."

Farewell to Vice President Rig, Douglas and Roland returned to the upper level, and suddenly saw Fernando hurried angrily.
