This star realm seems to be a universe, but this is not the universe Roland recognizes in his normal perspective.
At least in the universe, there won't be so many bugs floating around, nor will there be some weird fragments of life, or fragments of time, nor will there be unintelligible murmurs and whispers.
"Everything in the Star Boundary is dangerous." Mordenkainen pointed to the armored 'dung maggots' in the distance: "These bugs can eat almost everything, except space magic. The first time I came to the Star Boundary At that time, I didn’t know the characteristics of these things, and I almost got swallowed by them.”
Roland looked at the bugs in the distance. Players could be resurrected and the error tolerance rate was almost unlimited, so he didn't have a very intuitive feeling about the danger. However, the thin layer in the air showed that the barrier aroused his curiosity.
A barrier formed by space magic
This kind of magic is the most stable, just like diamonds in nature, so it is difficult to change their shape and 'transform' them into what you want. However, once the transformation is successful, the barrier made of space magic is almost the strongest.
How did Mordenkainen do this, simply using his powerful mental power to distort the magic of space
While Roland was thinking, his eyes were once again drawn to the four giant buildings in the distance of the floating city.
There seems to be no one else on this floating city, so what's the point of building such a big building
Store gold coins and wealth, books
"You seem to be very interested in the buildings over there?" Mordenkainen asked with a smile.
Roland nodded.
Curiosity is curiosity, and there is no shame in admitting it.
Lamia smiled narrowly at the side.
Mordenkainen smiled and flicked his fingers.
A few seconds passed, and nothing seemed to happen.
But Mordenkainen and Lamia both looked calm.
After another ten seconds, Roland finally realized something was wrong.
A black 'line' appeared under the huge building in the distance.
And this line is twisting vaguely, and gradually getting bigger.
At this time, Roland also felt some weak vibrations on the ground. As time passed, the vibrations became more and more obvious, and the black line in the distance gradually became clearer.
Those are all steel puppets, endless, pushing over like a tsunami.
Rumble.
These puppets are all bionic animal figures.
Wolves, lions, leopards, bears, giant spiders, and a large number of raptors in the sky. They look the same as animals, but with a lot of extra 'gear' added on.
For example, the sharp blades on the back arms of the wolf claws and the spikes on the spider's body. Roland had no doubt that these spikes could be fired.
The lion has steel wings on its back, presumably capable of short-term flight.
These activations are available on every different style of steel puppet.
At the same time, there are magic patterns on these puppets, which should be the reason why they can 'move'. At the same time, Roland believed that these steel puppets should all have the ability to cast spells. Mordenkainen should have one or two spell models carved into the bodies of these puppets. When necessary, these puppets can cast spells under stress.
These puppets ran up to them and surrounded the three of them.
The ground shook violently, and the countless puppets brought with them the unique rusty smell of steel. They were submerged in the sea of puppets, and except for the star realm above their heads, their surrounding sight was blocked.
How many steel golems are there here, one hundred thousand or one million
Roland licked his lips subconsciously: "Your armament can easily destroy the most powerful country in the world."
As long as the floating city is parked over a strategic location, and then these puppets are airdropped, no country in the human world can stop it, no one!
Putting it this way... There seemed to be no legends about brave knights in the era when Mordenkainen was active.
It’s strange to have such a powerful armament, and Mordenkainen was still at his peak at that time. Even the goddess of fate dared to fight. If a mere demon king dared to come to the surface, it would be good if he would not be caught for human experiments. Who would be the brave and the best in his turn? The knight appears.
Mordenkainen laughed loudly: "This is just my work out of spite. Back then, there was a very powerful summoning warlock. He was arrogant in front of me, saying that summoning was the most powerful profession, and he could drown everything with endless summons. Then They come to trouble me every day. I don’t accept it. Because we magicians are not very charming, the creatures we summon are not strong and disobedient, but we can make our own."
Roland was speechless. Although Mordenkainen was ridiculously strong, his unwillingness to admit defeat was similar to that of a child.
But it may be that he has this kind of personality, so he can help all magicians find a special path.
Roland said with some admiration: "Looking at this posture, you must have defeated that summoning warlock."
"Of course." Mordenkainen clicked his fingers, and the puppets began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Back to those giant buildings.
"Actually, I was at a disadvantage at the beginning, because my puppet was broken when I hit it. It was impossible to repair it urgently on the battlefield, and he only had to summon it hard." Mordenkainen chuckled: "So I invented it later. With self-healing technology, as long as the puppet stores enough magic power, it can repair itself without limit. Then it directly drowned the summoning warlock with the sea of puppets."
Having said this, Mordenkainen chuckled: "There is nothing in this world that we magicians can't do, there are only things that we can't think of for the time being."
Although Mordenkainen is very old and seems to be weak and may die at any time, even when he said this, his voice was very soft, and even the "ha" laughter was also very soft. It doesn't seem to have any strength.
But Roland still heard the unruly meaning in his words.
Because the smell is too strong and obvious.
Very exciting!
Roland clicked his tongue in his heart, feeling a little envious.
He has always known that mages are very strong, but he has never had an intuitive impression of how strong they are and what a top mage boss is like.
Now he knows.
It's just one person forming an army, one person destroying the country, and one person rebelling against God.
Seeing that Roland didn't speak, Mordenkainen continued: "I can see that your foundation is very good, even better than when I was young. You can go smoothly in the future if you study by yourself. I can teach you. Yes, it’s just some technologies that you don’t know how to do, such as automatic repair technology and the like.”
Roland nodded.
Then Mordenkainen took out a bound book from his robe, handed it to Roland, and said at the same time: "People have bad memory when they get old, and they forget things easily. This book should have been given to you a few days ago. Remember I forgot, it’s been delayed until now!”
This is a notebook without a title.
In Mordenkainen's time, due to the extreme lack of papermaking skills, the price of white paper was three times the same weight of gold.
This thick notebook alone is worth at least ten gold coins.
"Thank you, old man." Roland did not open it. After all, Chinese people have a traditional habit of not opening gifts in person. He estimated that this was Mordenkain's more 'core' personal note.
"This is my experience when building the floating city. You can take a look at some of the difficulties I encountered and some of the mistakes I made."
Roland took a deep breath.
Roland has now seen the huge role of the floating city, and Mordenkainen has not yet fully exerted the true role of the floating city.
This is not only an airship, but also an air fortress and a city!
Of course, this is not because Mordenkainen does not understand the true role of the floating city, but because he is used to facing everything alone.
This is a lone wolf after all.
After getting this notebook, Roland didn't dare to say that he would be able to build a floating city soon, but at least it was a possibility, and it was huge.
"Your current strength is still far away from building a floating city, but it doesn't matter, you have the talent." Mordenkain patted Roland on the shoulder and said, "I'm optimistic about you, don't perish early."
Roland wanted to say that he was the son of gold and a player, so he could not die.
But think about it, forget it.
After getting this floating city notebook, Roland knew that he had made a lot of money from this mission.
Not to mention the experience gained after completing the epic level mission, the value of the automatic item repair technology and magic sword production technology alone is higher than that of a complete World Tree flower. If not higher, it is still at a similar level.
As for this notebook that records the experience of building the floating city, Roland would not want to change it even if he brought five World Tree flowers.
Although being used as a string puppet by the 'Great Wishing Spell' was quite unpleasant before, but now, Roland just wants to say... If there is still such a harvest, please do it again!
Then the floating city 'drifted' randomly in the star realm for a period of time, and the strange murmurs that were everywhere in the star realm became louder and louder.
Roland already felt it was a bit harsh, and Lamia beside her couldn't bear it anymore. She started to cover her ears with a very uncomfortable expression.
But this kind of weird murmuring and gibbering directly affects the spirit and soul, so covering the ears is completely useless.
It all depends on the mental strength of the person being attacked!
Mordenkainen walked over and said with a smile: "You know it's very dangerous for you, but you still run here."
"But I really like the star realm." Lamia squatted on the ground and said miserably.
Mordenkainen clicked on the controller of the floating city, and the surroundings were distorted again... Soon they were back above the city, and then the entire floating city once again became invisible.
After taking the two of them back to the manor, Mordenkainen asked Lamia to rest first, and then said to Roland: "You should go back first. I am a little tired. I will continue to discuss magic concepts with you tomorrow."
Roland nodded and left the manor.
He subconsciously looked at the sky... There was blue sky and white clouds above. At first glance, there was nothing.
But Roland knew that there was a huge floating city parked above, larger than the entire city.
"I wish I had one myself."
Roland muttered, opened the guild chat system, and found that it was exploding.
Looking at the time behind the chat records, most of them were two or three hours ago.
Li Lin: Oh my god, why is it so dark
Li Lin: My eyes are dazzled. There is a floating continent above.
Beta: I saw it too, what's going on
Brazil: It won’t be a mission plot or anything like that.
Hussere: I don’t know, why don’t you ask the amazing Roland at this time, @罗兰.
A few minutes passed.
Li Lin: Roland didn't say anything. This matter is probably related to him... Damn it, the mainland is gone.
Hussere: Roland hasn’t spoken yet, so it must be related to him. The surrounding residents are quite settled. I have asked them that this is a floating city owned by a big boss in the city.
Beta: Brother Luolan is so powerful. It can’t be a bloody plot like inheriting some ancient magical heritage.
Brazil: It's hard to say... It's hard to say, but it's true.
Seeing this, Roland couldn't help but speak inside: If I can get that floating city, I can destroy Huolaiwen alone.
Then everyone in the guild quickly became excited, and everyone raised question marks.
