When laying out a rune formation, the larger the coverage area, the more various laying materials are used, and the consumption does not increase slowly, but increases in leaps and bounds.
Every time the coverage area is increased to a certain extent, the materials used will increase several times. To build a rune formation covering such a huge city, the amount of materials consumed is simply an unimaginable number.
Moreover, the larger the rune formation, the more complex the runes within it, and the higher the possibility of errors.
It's like a mechanical prop. The bigger it is, the more mechanism springs it has inside. If there is a problem with any of the various parts, the entire thing may not work.
Moreover, even if there are no major problems, if many parts are not made with precision, the error will be magnified as the number of imprecise parts increases, leading to overall failure.
The same is true for rune formations. The larger it is, the more runes you need.
Not only must each rune be drawn appropriately, but its position in the entire rune formation must also be perfect, otherwise it will collapse once it is put into operation.
Anyone who can build such a huge rune formation is definitely a top master in this field.
As the ship continued to approach the Imperial City, Ye Li could feel the grandeur of this huge city more and more intuitively.
The majestic city wall, which is a hundred meters high, and the huge shiny black bricks and stones, look like a giant beast lying by the water when you get closer, making it difficult for people to act rashly.
As the tower ship got closer to the Imperial City, almost all of the other dozen or so participants had already reached the top of the tower and were looking towards the huge city.
Most of them had never seen the Imperial City with their own eyes. Now, seeing such a magnificent city, they all showed a bit of awe on their faces.
Qi Wei and Dongfang Caiyi also came up from the lower deck one after another. After seeing everyone, Qi Wei said, "Everyone, we are about to reach our destination.
But you can’t enter the Imperial City now, I can only take you to the training camp outside the city, to gather with other teams, and then go to the trial ground to participate in the trial.”
After hearing Qi Wei's words, everyone realized that their destination was not the Imperial City.
But on second thought, it is normal. The purpose of their participating in the trial now is to join the Imperial City. Naturally, they can only enter this city after obtaining the real qualification to enter the city.
After all, the Imperial City is not an ordinary open city, but the main city of a holy place. Ordinary people are not qualified to enter.
The tower ship passed by the port near the Imperial City along the Gilded River, but did not stop. Instead, it continued to move forward.
About half an hour later, another port appeared in front of them. Not far away, at the entrance of a very wide valley, a camp appeared.
There were already three ships docked at the port, and there were figures flashing in the camp not far away. It seemed that people from other teams had already arrived.
Qi Wei looked at the camp and said, "It seems that they have all arrived. We wasted a lot of time in Paradise City. Even if the ship behind us is at its fastest speed, it is still a little late."
As they were talking, the ship quickly docked at the port. The servants quickly anchored the ship at the shore, and then lowered a long ladder from the ship's tower and placed it between the ground and the tower.
Qi Wei said, "Everyone, let's go down. The people in other teams must be waiting anxiously."
Following Qi Wei's call, a group of people followed him down the long ladder and reached the shore.
Without stopping, the crowd continued walking towards the camp. After a while, they entered the camp.
Ye Li raised his eyes and looked at the people who arrived first. There were also three groups of about ten people standing in groups. It seemed that the number of people in each group was similar to theirs.
Qi Wei led the group and just walked into the camp when he heard a rough voice with hidden anger shouting, "Qi Wei, according to the agreement, you should have been here last night. It's already noon the next day. Why are you here so late!?"
The roar came towards Qi Wei with a questioning tone.
Ye Li looked in the direction of the sound and saw a burly old man with a full beard striding towards him from not far away, with some anger on his face.
Qi Wei heard the other party's questioning, but he looked indifferent and said: "Chu Xiong, I came late, of course there is a reason for being late, Xiao Caiyi is still here, what are you yelling at."
When Chu Xiong heard Qi Wei's words, he noticed Dongfang Caiyi behind him. He was startled, but his arrogance faded a little. He said, "Miss never interferes with our work. Don't use her as a cover."
As Chu Xiong spoke, he glanced at the team behind Qi Wei.
After reading it twice, he showed a hint of doubt in his eyes, then he looked back and forth a few times, and suddenly shouted again: "Qi Wei, we sent out four fleets to pick up people, each ship should have sixteen people, a total of sixty-four people, why is there one more person in your team
You'd better explain this matter clearly. You are too bold to bring people in without permission."
When Qi Wei heard Chu Xiong’s aggressive roar, he snorted in dissatisfaction and said, “Humph, even if I brought someone in privately, I made him pass the test and did not violate the rules of the city.
Although the rule of setting up temporary tests for recruiting people has not been used for many years, this rule does exist and it gives us elders certain powers.
I will report this matter to the city lord after he comes out of seclusion. When is it your turn to question it?"
When Chu Xiong heard Qi Wei's rebuttal, his arrogance was dampened, but he recovered immediately and said angrily: "Qi Wei, you really don't take us seriously!
Even if there is such a clause in the regulations, it is not up to you alone to decide. We don't know whether you have passed the test or not, so how can we make a decision based on your opinion
Which one is the new member? Stand out!"
The group of people behind Qi Wei also noticed that there seemed to be something wrong between Chu Xiong and Qi Wei. After hearing what Chu Xiong said, they all looked at Ye Li.
Ye Li had no intention of hiding himself, and walked out of the team openly.
"Qi Wei, is this the guy
Get him out of here right now. I don't agree with you adding more participants at will. You can't decide what's going on here alone."
Chu Xiong's words made Ye Li's face change. Although he did not show anger, his brows were slightly wrinkled.
The other party's words were really rude. Even if he didn't want him to participate in the trial, there was no reason to tell him to get out.
Qi Wei's face, which had always been very kind, suddenly erupted with anger, like an angry tiger with terrifying aura, and pressed towards Chu Xiong.
