There is a 'pedestal' with a height of more than 100 meters below the city. This is the 'equipment' that can move a city and contains a lot of technological crystallization.
But what’s interesting is that despite being able to create a mobile city, Lenia doesn’t have many technological weapons.
No airships, no tanks, no guns.
The only weapon is the very huge and bloated Originium Destruction Cannon installed on the mobile city - similar to the original version of the Originium Cannon.
The same goes for the vehicle they are riding in. It is made of some kind of monster carapace material. It has enough hardness and defense, but that's it. There are only simple runes engraved on it.
‘Runology and formation science are relatively backward, but there is a lot of development of spells. ’
In this world, there are generally only two basic professions, 'Warlock' and 'Swordsman', but there are many professions that are extended by different schools of spells, such as 'Explosion Warlock', 'Calamity Warlock', and 'Red Lotus Swordsman' , 'Magnetic Storm Swordsman' and so on.
From Tang Yu's point of view, there are many spells that can be called advanced spells, and they require a high degree of magical attainment to create them.
If one method can be used, then all methods can be solved.
People with good magical attainments often have some experience in runes and formations. Why do they look so out of place
…
"Thank you Master for lending a hand."
A man wearing a white robe with gold embroidery on the robe was already waiting at the entrance of Lenia to welcome the returning warriors.
His hood was not on, revealing a pair of curved horns.
There are a few strands of white hair on the temples, and a beard that hangs down to his collar.
‘Unexpectedly, it’s not a human race? ’
The Lenian soldiers who got off the vehicle also pulled down their hoods, showing their relieved expressions after entering the city.
Many of them also had goat horns on their heads or exposed long ears. They might be from the rabbit tribe, and some looked like fox ears... Some of them had no obvious characteristics. Tang Yu thought they grew in other places, such as on the tail. kind.
Although they are said to be beasts, they prefer human aesthetics.
Such as Bamboo Rat Li and Fanny, while most orcs are more like upright, intelligent beasts.
He heard that some of the orcs in the Endless World looked down on furry orcs like Fanny and the others. They were anomalies among the orcs, but they were welcomed by the human race. It was difficult to define whether they belonged to the human race or the orc race. .
‘In this world, the intelligent life forms should be these people with certain characteristics of animal ears. ’
Tang Yu was observing,
Augustine, Chancellor of the Ramshorn, was also observing the Master.
In Lenia, there are only a few powerful sorcerers who can be called masters.
According to what the soldiers who went on the expedition said, the master waved his hand in the air and used some invisible magic to crush the two strong men of Black Crow Castle - it was actually space compression.
In today's era of "sorcery decline", it is still not enough to call him a master with such power.
What surprised Speaker Augustine even more was Tang Yu's age.
too young!
Looks younger than his great-granddaughter!
How on earth did he have such attainments in magic at such an age? Did he start learning it right from his mother's womb
"Master, this is our intention. The previous war was to recapture the Source Stone mine that was invaded by Black Crow Castle. That is also the only Source Stone mine we have in Lenia."
Source Stone is similar to high-purity Source Crystal in perception, but there are some differences.
Without understanding the situation, Tang Yu just said a faint "hmm".
Augustine asked tentatively, "May I ask where the master comes from and where he is going?"
"Come from the Eastern Land and the Tang Dynasty, and go to the Western Heaven..."
Augustine: "???"
As expected of a master with extremely high magical attainments at a young age, his words were extremely mysterious, which reminded him of the teacher's lectures when he was young - he couldn't understand a word of it.
But Augustine brushed his beard and his expression remained unchanged, "The journey is long and full of dangers, and it coincides with the recent frequent natural disasters. Why don't Master stay in our Lenia?"
The soldier who returned from the expedition looked at the young master and then at the speaker, and couldn't help but feel:
‘The Speaker is worthy of being the Speaker, he actually understood the master’s mysterious words, strong! ’
Tang Yu pondered for a moment and then asked, "I heard that your place has collected many historical documents. I am more interested in this knowledge. Of course, it is not for nothing. I can give lectures in Lenia."
Augustine was surprised at first and agreed without much hesitation.
It's just some historical documents, not magic data, so it's not of high value. Even if it's magic data, for the master in front of me, I'm afraid it can only be used as a reference.
Providing some historical information and getting a lecture from a master is worth it no matter what.
Augustine had already planned to make friends with this master - after the "Decay of Magic" occurred, the status of Lenia's large city has become increasingly shaky.
Tang Yu stayed at the Royal Hotel Lenia - it is said that Lenia's predecessor was the royal family of a certain country, but the history of that period is difficult to verify.
Today is the 866th year of the mobile urban calendar.
‘Less than a thousand years, it seems that history is not long? ’
He was looking through some books sent by Augustine's orders, and will go to the Royal Library of Lenia tomorrow.
Under the control of Yuanli, thick books were suspended in front of him, and the pages were turned.
There are "History of Lenia", "Natural Disasters and Origin Stones", "Origin of Spells and Origin Stone Disease", "The Way of the Warlock" and so on.
Gradually,
Tang Yu now understood the history of the wasteland world, and suddenly understood some of the strange places he had felt before.
Ding-
He picked up an ellipsoid-shaped Origin Stone and flicked it to make a crisp sound.
"Due to some influence in this world, the Source Stone is similar to the high-purity Source Crystal, but different. The Source Stone contains a special substance that allows awakened people in the wasteland world to comprehend spells when practicing with the Source Crystal."
Yes,
The magical attainments of the residents of this world were not as high as he originally imagined. Spells all depended on comprehension. Only a few geniuses could systematically compile the spells they had suddenly learned through practice.
"Not only that, the existence of that kind of material doubles the cultivation speed of people in this world. The awakening-level Dzogchen before the age of thirty is a genius in other places, but here it is just a top student."
"but… "
Tang Yu shook his head. Nothing is ever perfect.
The Origin Stone allows the awakened person to comprehend spells, and it also has the ability to speed up cultivation, but it also has side effects.
One is that the foundation is unstable, and the source power and body are far weaker than those of awakened ones of the same level. The combat effectiveness of experienced 'warlocks' and 'swordsmen' can only be comparable to that of demonized beasts of the same level.
This is just the price of rapid improvement, but it is not a big problem.
The real problem is that the lifespan of the awakened people here is very short.
Very short!
The average lifespan of an awakened person in Lenia is less than 70 years old. This is the statistical data after excluding those awakened people who died due to battles, accidents and other factors.
No matter whether you are in the initial stage of awakening or in the advanced stage of awakening, it is the same. In the awakening stage, your lifespan will not be longer due to the improvement of your realm.
Even the first level of extraordinary people only has a lifespan of about 200 years.
The Speaker of Lenia, Augustine, is a 160-year-old man.
and,
People in this world believe that there has never been a virus in the Origin Stone, and from time to time, awakened people die due to outbreaks of the Origin Stone Disease. However, Source Stone = power, even if it is poison, not many people can resist it.
"No wonder Lenia only has a history of more than 800 years. This is the first generation of mobile cities. Those built later have a shorter history. For example, Black Crow Castle only has a history of more than 400 years."
"There is not enough time for development, and the lifespan of the strong is also limited. Naturally, no one will study the 'less valuable' runes and formations."
However, Tang Yu saw the value.
Are there any side effects? Not enough life? Just make up for it afterwards!
Compared to the price of rapid improvement, that is nothing!
Don't look at the fact that he has spent one year in the void, two years in one, and three or four years in the realm of the gods. The resources he can consume are thousands of times that of a normal awakened person. However, ordinary students in Lenia only enjoy medium training resources, and there are many. Few can reach the stage of awakening, Dzogchen, before the age of thirty, and achieve transcendence before the age of fifty.
—After the age of fifty, due to the decline in body functions, the probability of transcendence becomes lower.
"The question now is, is there an upper limit to this rapid improvement? Is the cost of eliminating side effects high?"
Lenia does not have a second-level extraordinary person, but Tang Yu believes that given his status in the higher world, it is not difficult to give birth to a second-level extraordinary person, and even a third-level extraordinary person is possible.
…
green city,
Tang Yu has already packaged and sent back a copy of the Origin Stone.
"Master Kevin, the organization has given you a task to study what special substances these source stones contain, and how much they can promote cultivation?"
"It's a trivial matter, Lord." Kevin paused, "But, Lord, old man, I have almost reached the realm of a divine craftsman. No matter how bad I am, I am still a master. Can I change my title?"
"Okay old man Kevin."
Studying the special ingredients in the Origin Stone is just a very simple task for Green Shadow, who now has a comprehensive scientific research team.
In just a few moments, Kevin brought the research results.
Tang Yu frowned after reading this.
"It can only increase the promotion effect by less than 10%? The side effects are not that big? It's strange..."
Kevin thought for a while, "Could it be because of the environment? Or the source stone has deteriorated."
The Origin Stone was teleported back, and Tang Yu also looked at it with the "Eye of Insight" and found that it had not deteriorated.
It's just that the "Eye of Insight" only has a simple explanation of promoting cultivation.
Other than that, the only difference is the environment of the green shade and the wasteland world. But what is the difference in the environment
"Wait, maybe the rules are different!"
Except for the changes that occurred some time ago, the laws of the main universe are the same, but the laws of the endless planes outside the main universe will be slightly different.
Previously,
Tang Yu didn't know whether the wasteland world was a planet or a plane - he didn't fly into the sky and stand side by side with the sun, and was suppressed by the world.
But there are indeed some special items that require specific laws to function.
It’s not so much that the Origin Stone is special, but that the seat is special.
Source Stone is more suitable for the wasteland world.
"It seems that it cannot be regarded as a resource plane. This special world is most suitable for cultivating reserve soldiers and must be completely controlled."
…
The next day,
Augustine treated him warmly again, and after Tang Yu tasted the slightly weird delicacies of the wasteland world, he came to the Royal Library of Lenia.
During this period, Augustine accompanied him.
Tang Yu once wondered whether the old man was a vacant speaker.
'However, it may be that they are worried about themselves, after all, a great master is in the hinterland of their city. ’
But Augustine makes people feel like a spring breeze. This old man is also very knowledgeable, not in academic aspects. The academic Tang Yu can beat the ninety-nine streets in the wasteland world. Augustine's erudition lies in his knowledge of many forces in the wasteland world. With understanding, some mobile cities that are vaguely introduced in books can be understood in more detail from the words of Ao Gutou.
"Mr. Speaker, can you tell me about some well-known strong people? For example, those who have broken through that layer of barriers."
Augustine's heart trembled.
Sure enough, this young master has already reached the bottleneck!
Already walking ahead of him!
He cleared his throat, "There's nothing I can't say. It's just that natural disasters occur frequently in various places, there are not many connections between mobile cities, and the number of strong people I know is limited."
He paused and said, "Only the top ten mobile cities in the world, including Longmen, Progas, and Parde, have such powerful people who have broken through that level of bottleneck.
For example, Dragon Gate's 'Fire King' has an unstoppable flaming sword, and Progas's 'Evil Ghost', whose evil aura is like a ghost, can kill countless people with just one look... These are all famous in the world. The old strong man. "
"But..." Augustine seemed to have remembered something, and his eyes became a little melancholy, "Some time ago, a force called the 'Reincarnation Movement' suddenly appeared. At first, I thought it was just an ordinary force. Similar, there were It is not unusual for armed forces in various mobile cities.
However, the 'Reincarnation Movement' planned a big event and destroyed the large mobile city 'Gallon' overnight. It is said that there are strong people of that level in the 'Reincarnation Movement'. "
Lenia is only a large city, and the reincarnation movement can easily destroy Galen, so it is obviously not difficult to destroy Lenia.
The only thing that reassured Augustin was that the area where Gallon was originally located was relatively far from Lenia.
After Galen's incident, mobile cities around the world became more and more strict in censoring roaming armed forces. Even if the reincarnation movement took some action, it would not be so easy to succeed.
After analysis, Augustine and other city leaders believed that the leader of the reincarnation movement should have a grudge against Galen himself, so he planned such an earth-shattering incident.
In addition to the cities destroyed by monsters, Galen was also the first mobile city to be destroyed by humans.
Tang Yu was also stunned, "Reincarnation... movement?"
"Yes, the ordinary members of the Samsara Movement are actually just soldiers, but their core operators are very mysterious and very powerful."
Can it not be mysterious
If... it is really the Palace of Reincarnation, it is normal for him to be an outsider like himself and to stare at a strange plane.
Tang Yu rubbed his forehead and fell into deep thought.
If it were the Palace of Reincarnation, destroying the mobile city would probably be their way of stealing the origin of the world.
The ordinary world is just that, I might even follow them and seize their achievements.
But in this plane,
special,
Very special!
Can't find another place.
The origin of the world cannot be allowed to pass away.
'Gotta speed it up. ’
