Under the dome shrouded in white clouds, a large and small black spot shuttled between the mountains of the Yunling Kingdom, slowly approaching toward the direction of Yunding Peak.
The huge figure and the integrated dazzling white city walls and towers make her full of breathtaking pressure from beginning to end. The streamlined up and down like a cylindrical cone shape, so that this "floating" castle in the air is given At the same time as majesty, it also loses its elegant beauty.
From a distance, it looks like a "reverse cone" foundation stone that lifts it from the ground, and above it is a small castle fortress connected to it-city walls, towers, main fortresses, streets, houses ... Linglong Exquisite, everything is there.
A lonely castle in the sky, a city soaring above the clouds.
Clarion Castle ... is the name of this sky city.
In fact, at the beginning of her birth, she had more than one name-for example, the little wizard originally named her "St. Zichen · Last Moon · Xilu · White Swan Castle".
And some arrogant man was almost laughing, and after the little wizard who was so angry and angry almost beaten him, he still insisted on calling it "Isaac City".
The dwarves who were in charge of all the construction hoped to call her "New Silver Helmet Mountain", a young lady who was a side branch of the royal family, always wearing black frame glasses, felt that the name "Xiaolong City" was more imposing;
The Countess of the Red Blood Castle, who has never spoken, thought that the floating city should be added with some Bayern features, such as "Banner of the Banner" or "Knight's Castle"; .
The two thousand knights gathered in the Red Blood Castle agreed that only names like "Holy Sword City" or "Holy Grail City" could be considered as "bye features."
As for the opinion of a dark-haired wizard, it became completely irrelevant-his name "Laputa" was rejected by everyone from the beginning.
There is no way. In this world, the only one who can really understand the meaning of this name is a blonde teenager who is also "full of evil taste."
In the end, each party can only choose one of the most "compromise" solutions ... Since everyone does not like each other's name, they can only choose a name that no one likes.
So the "horn of the horn"-this soil fell to scum, as if the old antiques that were moved out of ten generations ago became the Principality of Byrne, and the Sacrament Empire may even be the name of the world's first floating city.
After three years of design, R & D, and construction ... with the aid of the construction technique of the Silver Helmet Mountain Dwarf and the support of Byrne ’s Wizarding Association, there was subsequent assistance from Ebden.
Even later, even the Imperial Capital Wizard College and Furnace Town of Golovin, led by the Royal Wizard Advisor Master Albert, and the best alchemists in the entire empire, also invested in this vigorous "big project" .
Advanced rune technology from Ebden, alchemy technology from the two major "Military Engineering Institutes" in the capital city of Golovin and the furnace town, from Silver Helmet Mountain, the unique mechanical technology of the dwarves ... At Bain, we spare no effort to spare no effort Under the premise, it takes only two and a half years to complete this "feat" that many people would never complete.
Using Dalton Kander's almost mean words, to be simple and self-interested, the "natural nature" of the wizards, such a united situation has not been seen in the past 30 years, nor will it be in the next 30 years. There is a second time.
And such a sky fortress built by the entire Principality of Bayern, and even half of the empire, the first stop visited was neither the Principality of the Bayern or an ally of some territory, nor was it used to demonstrate to the empire, but selected The peak of the cloud in the Kingdom of Yunling.
"We seem to be late."
Standing at the top of the white tower, the dark-haired wizard squinted at the distant battlefield with a trace of regret in his tone.
"Nonsense, is this unknown?"
Isaac standing behind him snorted without giving face to his friend and Duke: "This is not a dragon, nor is it a thing that can fly with wings inserted;
This is a floating city. She was only required to float when she was designed. No one expected her to act as an unmanned automatic carriage or a high-speed spaceship! "
"In fact, considering her own pitiful ability to be slightly inferior to the turtle, plus our ignorance of the wind direction, wind speed and climate change around the Yunling Kingdom-she has not yet turned her head down, her head It ’s already a big miracle to grow it into a large corn! "
Although it's unkind sarcasm and irony, a certain "genius plus arrogance" is still a look of pride and can't do it, looking excitedly at the army alchemists behind him.
"Of course, for the sake of being friends, I will forgive you a lot for your little opinion of Loren-after all, this is completely based on my creativity, my theory and my design. Masterpiece, only my understanding of her can penetrate into the soul;
Because of this, it is normal and reasonable for outsiders to have some misunderstandings and unrealistic fantasies. "
Looking at Isaac's excited expression, Loren had nothing to say except shrugging.
"What is your creativity, your theory and your design? This is clearly the common result of all of us, okay?"
The busy little wizard in the back row stepped forward, and his voice seemed very unpleasant-even if he knew the nature of this arrogant long ago, when he heard this, he had long blond hair Still instinctively.
"Furthermore, the floating city has been my creativity from the beginning. From the design drawings to the initial blueprints are all my paintings-you guys who have been inserted halfway can only be regarded as assistance at best!"
"Assist ... Ha! Without my‘ assistance ', your holy prince, Chen Chen ... mother, the name is too long ... I do n’t know if I can fly! "
"You! You, you, you ... you say it again ?!"
"Again, you ca n’t change how stupid your" big toy "idea is. The performance difference is so high that it needs to be driven by the Holy Grail of the Nine Stars-there is such an artifact, brick Can you fly into the sky? "
"Not to mention the name of the ghost you mentioned-St. Chenchen ... well, I know you were born in the foolish and superstitious country of Lotel, but I did n’t expect you to have such a strong religion today Tendency ... Ah-! My head! "
"Stop me, otherwise your face will be your next one!"
Looking at Ain, who was angry, and Isaac, who was running around, the dark-haired wizard sighed in a tacit understanding, and then carefully walked down the tower's retaining wall, so as not to affect himself.
Under the wall, a young boy with gray pupils who had expected this situation had been waiting on the stairs for a long time.
The dark blue hair was scattered, and it was the same as all demon hunters, except for the gray armor that was one size smaller; the sword of Ellerman hung on the left waist, and the dragon knight's gun was behind his right shoulder— -The only thing that insists that there is a "maverick" is that there is only a gray scarf around the neck.
"How are you preparing?" Although the question was asked, the tone of the dark-haired wizard was quite affirmed: "At most there is a quarter of an hour."
"You don't need a quarter of an hour, you can do it at any time." Lucien slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of mature eyes that did not match the immature face:
"The situation is generally understood-the rebels besieged the city, Wang Jun guarded the city, and there were a lot of corrosion demons nearby, plus the strong void reaction from the direction of the group of kings. The real murderer behind this civil war may not be able to wait. Get started. "
"I'm ready ... it can't escape." The gray pupil's tone was calm, and his eyes focused on the battlefield that was about to arrive in the distance.
The dark-haired wizard glanced meaningfully and looked at him up and down.
"what happened?"
"It's nothing, just a little surprised." Loren chuckled and glanced back: "Three years ago you ... wouldn't be so calm before the war started-no, it's too euphemistic to say that, it should be anytime, anywhere, all It ’s a posture to be brave and just! "
"Ah, yes ..." Scratching his head, Lucien smiled embarrassedly:
"People will always change; in fact, Isaac and Ain have changed a lot, including you, too-they are not three years ago."
"Probably only me, because I have to leave you to perform tasks in the past three years, so it seems more obvious?"
Looking at the darker-haired wizard who was slightly more mature and calmer than he was three years ago, the gray-eyed boy spoke with emotion.
Unconsciously, three years have passed ...
In the early morning when the snow was flying, it seemed to be the same as yesterday.
"Yeah, now our Lucien, already prestigious, resounds through the wings of the sky of half an empire-it is no longer the hot-blooded teenager who easily boils and can't wait to prove himself."
Raising his eyebrows and deliberately pretending not to understand the dark-haired wizard revealed a slightly sly expression: "The only thing that will never change is probably your size."
"..." Lucien.
"Ah ... after all, I remember the last time I saw Grand Duke Ellerman, his size did not seem to have changed much from three years ago." The smile of the dark-haired wizard was becoming undisguised little by little. :
"Is it true that the saying" Little Man of Ellerman "really matters? Lucien, how tall is your father before the Duke of Ellerman?"
"Uh ... father ... I remember him as if he was half a head taller than his elder brother ... probably?"
Lucien, who was full of black lines, did not have the idea to carry on this conversation.
"In other words ... Who is the demon hunter who is responsible for the monitoring mission of Cloud Summit?"
Realizing the embarrassment of his friend, Loren changed the subject at the right moment.
"Karl Colin, the eye liner that the night watchman puts in us; there is also a chief of the third recruit, Martin Nilton."
"Originally, I felt that the Yunling Civil War was involved, and it was necessary for the empire to understand the seriousness of the problem. In addition, letting talented recruits contact the actual combat as soon as possible under the cover of veterans can also improve their strength and experience.
Staring at the burning palaces in the distance, Lusien frowned slightly: "But so far, we have not received any information from them."
"no problem?"
"There should be no-according to the original plan, the task deadline is still four days left; and the cloud peak siege battle broke out in advance, and they have no chance to sneak into the city." Gray pupil shook his head, some worried speculation Road:
"Now I should still lie in a hiding place outside the city, waiting for the order?"
Is it outside the city ... Loren nodded thoughtfully.
Before coming, Mentor Dalton once mentioned this recruit-only in terms of curse science and ancient runes, his talent even surpassed himself; no accident, within 20 years can become a master of combat magic , A top conjurer of advanced alchemy.
And Carl Colin is both Rute Infinite's eyeliner and the most elite veteran of the Demon Hunter Legion;
This combination of "one old and one young", even among the wings of the sky, belongs to the strongest squad of "top-level configuration", should there not be any problems?
"Master Loren, can I ask a question?"
Gray pupil asked very abruptly.
Loren froze for a moment.
"Why ... you must insist on taking the" Clarion Fort "to the summit of the cloud?" Lucien's expression was very confused: "Although she looks like a fortress, she actually does not have any combat capabilities; even as a commander. The car should also be in the rear, not directly over the battlefield. "
"What's more, according to Isaac," Clarion Fort "is not really a" floating city "in the true sense, at best it is just an experimental sample; once there is any chance, we can't even run away."
"This one has no combat power and cannot pose any real threat; once destroyed, it cannot be repaired, and even the sky fortress cannot be guaranteed to be absolutely safe ... What is the point of ending the civil war in the Yunling Kingdom?"
"This ... mainly for two reasons."
"Two reasons?"
"First of all ... Although the existence of the Horn Castle is no longer a secret ~ EbookFREE.me ~, this is still the first time she has shown herself in this world-the unknown existence is the biggest fear." Loren explained Tao: "And I want to use this fear to end the civil war in the Yunling Kingdom all at once!"
"In any case, the importance of the Yunling Kingdom to Baien and even the empire is self-evident-the most important ore production area, the only mitral silver production area, with a large number of fortresses and abundant sources of troops ... Even if the relationship with us is not harmonious, they will not be allowed to stand in the enemy's camp. "
"Hmm ..." The gray pupil nodded inexplicably, his expression still confused; if he has something in common with three years ago, it is still unable to keep up with Loren's brain circuit:
"This is just one, what about the other?"
"The other one." Loren shrugged and looked at the cloud summit below with a smile:
"I just feel that after such a long time, it is necessary to use a slightly focused approach to tell the guys who almost forgot me ..."
"I am back again."
