Twenty days later.
Eager to see the fabled city in the sky sooner, Greem washed up early in the morning, finished his breakfast, and then strolled onto the deck.
At this moment, the deck was already overcrowded, and even many wizards who would not be able to get out as soon as they stepped on the flying ship appeared on it, occupying some of the most favorable positions on the upper side of the ship, quietly waiting for the appearance of the holy city.
The airship was passing through the clouds at the moment, and the white clouds shaped like cotton candy were torn into pieces of broken cotton wool by the ejected wind particles, leaving a white cloud road behind the ship.
While everyone was anxiously waiting, their eyes suddenly lit up.
The flying ship pierced through the clouds and plunged into a clear void.
The sky is so blue.
On the vast green grassland on the ground, one can see gray roads extending in all directions, as well as scattered alchemy castles and vast cattle and sheep pastures.
And between the sky and the earth, a magnificent and holy city, but full of mystery and mystery, is floating there, quietly waiting for them to visit.
From a distance, Sky City looks like an upside-down pyramid, with a thick and round top and a slightly sharp bottom. Below the city is obviously a whole layer of mud and sand dug out of the ground, which has been treated with witchcraft and turned into a shape similar to an upside-down hill.
And directly below the Sky City, a huge lake covering an area of tens of thousands of mu is clearly visible.
Looking at its size and shape, it is easy for people to understand the origin of the foundation of the city of the sky!
The Sky City obviously possessed some kind of resisting force field, so an invisible air barrier pushed the clouds all over the sky to the periphery, artificially forming an empty clearance zone within 30 miles around it.
And the flying ship just plunged out of the sea of clouds and entered this clear area.
Suddenly there was a strange sound of mechanical gears running in the void, and boulders suspended in the air slowly approached the flying ship.
"This is the first inspection to enter Sky City. Don't resist, let alone attack these mechanical guards!" An alliance wizard in a silver robe on the flying boat ordered loudly. With the expansion of the mysterious authority, although his voice is not loud, it can already spread to every living individual on the flying ship, even those wizards who have sealed themselves in the room are no exception.
Mechanical guard? !
Greem scanned the boulders suspiciously.
There are 5 boulders in total.
Each one is 3 meters high and 2 meters thick. The surface is thin and rocky, full of mud and sand, and there are some vines and small trees growing on it. It seems to be a huge rock temporarily cut from the mountain.
However, as soon as they got close to the spaceship, the inside of the rock suddenly emitted a dazzling fluorescent light, and a large area of intricate and detailed rune lines and witchcraft symbols emerged on its surface. Immediately, the boulder trembled, and the rock blocks were dislocated, revealing dark holes one after another.
Immediately, some mechanical arms full of metal texture protruded from the inside, stretching towards the flying ship in a meandering manner.
At the end of the mechanical arm, a strange creature with bloodshot eyes was scanning the surroundings.
As the boulder floated near the flying ship, the eyeballs at the end of the metal tentacles shot out strange blue rays, slowly sweeping over everyone.
5 boulders surrounded the airship, almost blocking its surroundings so that it was impenetrable. A network of blue lights criss-crossed, scanning the crowd and the hull. Even with a thick deck, it can't stop the penetration of this blue light. Even the people in the cabin were glanced at every detail.
With the reminder from the wizards of the alliance, the wizards on board did not cast spells to resist the penetration of blue light. And this kind of blue light is obviously just a low-level witchcraft detection, mainly used to identify the identity of the creature, and detect whether the target has witchcraft effects such as camouflage, deformation, parasites, etc., and will not touch the deep secrets of the wizard.
Everything was fine when the wizard was scanned, but when Blu-ray scanned Goblin Kirby, Blu-ray paused for a moment. However, as an identity amulet on Kirby's neck also lit up witchcraft fluorescence, the blue light just swept away without triggering the warning mechanism.
This talisman was specially obtained by Greem from the silver-robed wizard on board.
Without this thing, it would be difficult for alien creatures like Goblin Kirby to move an inch in Sky City. It stored Kirby's contract owner Greem and the wizard Angus's witch mark, once lost, it would be directly detained or expelled by the Sky City guards.
The detection time is not long.
When the blue light scanned the entire ship, the boulders withdrew their protruding metal tentacles one after another, turned into floating boulders again, and left slowly.
Greem glanced around, in Nuo Da's clear area, every airship that emerged from the sea of clouds was surrounded by mechanical guards of varying numbers, and the flickering blue lights were clearly visible.
After the inspection, the flying ship started to move forward again, and gradually began to approach the outer ring flying platform of Sky City.
And as the distance got closer, the city in the sky, which was only vaguely visible just now, finally lifted the veil of mystery, presenting its true side to everyone.
To be honest, although I have read descriptions of the Castle in the Sky in many books, many wizards who visited for the first time were still shocked when it was presented in a real and pure manner.
Looking down from above, the Sky City is like three huge concentric rings, dividing the outline of the entire city into three clear blocks. This is probably the origin of the inner ring, middle ring, and outer ring!
All the huge buildings full of bizarre and psychedelic styles are built on these ring belts, and there is almost every inch of land on them, and every inch of land is covered by dense buildings and plants. The three big circles are separated by some kind of mysterious force, which is difficult to cross easily, and can only be accessed through some special bridges.
Looking down from Greem's point of view, wooden buildings hidden in the huge green shade, tall and sturdy stone buildings with extraordinary style, and metal buildings full of high-tech taste can be seen everywhere. Towering spiers, circular palaces, strange and distorted alien buildings... This place has almost become an exposition of special buildings, with all the weird buildings you can imagine.
Pedestrians who are as small as ants come and go on the white and spacious streets, which look very lively.
In the inner ring, a real mountain was transplanted there, and many huge and magnificent buildings were built on the mountain, occupying a condescending advantage, overlooking the entire city in the sky majestically.
Above the city of the sky, there are even bigger mountain peaks and boulders floating there. You can vaguely see that there are dense holes for entry and exit, and wizards riding huge flying mounts come in and out.
Greem guessed that this should be some kind of place to garrison troops, and it was also a part of Sky City's huge and tight three-dimensional defense system.
As for the smaller alchemy guards, there are more, together with those huge birds carrying a lot of goods, they constitute a busy and orderly corner of the sky in Sky City.
The place where the flying ship stops is the flying platform of the outer ring.
There is a flying platform like this almost every 5 miles, and the flying boats rise and fall on it, which seems extremely busy.
When Greem, Alice, and Kirby, led by Wizard Angus, stepped off the airship and stepped onto the neat and clean marble floor of Sky City, looking at the blurred and fantastic scenes around them, there was still a trace of disbelief on their faces. expression.
The warm sun shines from the sky, shining on this alchemy city, and there are spots of light reflected from the exterior of the exquisite buildings everywhere.
This makes the city in the sky more and more beautiful and resplendent!
Most of the people who shuttled back and forth beside Greem and the others were wizards, with some apprentice wizards mixed in, and some alien creatures in gorgeous clothes could be seen every now and then. As for those ordinary people, they are not qualified to set foot on this great city that marks the highest alchemy achievement in the wizarding world.
Greem took a special look, and found that on the flying platform, the coolies doing the loading and unloading work were all tall and mighty iron golems. Although their movements are a bit clumsy, their work efficiency surpasses that of human coolies ten times and a hundred times.
And it is apprentice wizards who direct their work.
It can be seen that the people at the bottom of this sky city are these wizard apprentices!
As soon as Greem and his party stepped off the flying platform, the alchemy carriages stopped in front of them smoothly.
The golden carriage, the golden wheels, the golden waiters, and even the two horses pulling the cart are also golden...
Two golden steeds stopped right in front of Greem, snorting and pawing their hooves lightly, just like real horses.
But Greem's perception "sees" very clearly.
They are not real life forms, but a kind of alchemical creation, or they can also be called alchemical creatures!
"See you at No. 167, Champlysée Street!" Wizard Angus first got into a carriage, gave Greem a slight nod, and then walked away.
When the fully metalized alchemy horse galloped fast, it didn't give people the slightest sense of stiffness and sluggishness like metal creations, and even the hard metal horseshoes didn't make the expected deafening sound when they fell on the smooth marble floor.
The alchemy carriage was like a small boat floating on the water, passing through the crowd calmly and swiftly, before disappearing into the vast sea of people.
Greem looked at the blurred and fantastic scene in front of him in shock, and couldn't help but overlap it with some super-sci-fi earth scenes in his mind. And in his mind, the hints from the chip never stopped.
"Drip, discovered an unknown alchemy creation..."
"Drip, I sense the existence of an unknown force field..."
"Drip, a strange life form was detected..."
"..."
There are so many things here that exceed his expectations, it almost makes him feel like he is in the future Earth.
If the study of mysticism reaches the deepest point, will it lead to the same goal with technological civilization, and eventually walk on the same path
While Greem was silently in a daze, Alice couldn't help yelling. Whenever she saw a mysterious item that she had never seen before, she couldn't help but exclaim.
Goblin Kirby, on the other hand, lay on the alchemy carriage and fumbled here and there, and even nibbled it with his teeth from time to time to verify his guess. Looking at the obsessive smile on its face, you must think that you have come to the legendary El Dorado!
"Let's go too!" Greem closed his eyes for a moment to stabilize his mind, turned around and ordered: "First settle here and then go out for a stroll!"
The three got into the alchemy carriage in front of them.
"Go to 167 Avenue Champlysée!"
As soon as the order was issued, the alchemy carriage started smoothly!
