Chapter 600: The Secret of the Fall of the Floating City and the Magic Network Goddess Mystra
The Lost Floating City of Azera,
The interior of the magic tower is completely different from the outer wall covered with mysterious magic patterns. It feels like stepping into another quiet and grand world.
As soon as you step into the tower, the first thing you see is the empty and towering space. The sky-blue walls extend to the limit of your sight. The height of more than 100 meters makes people look up in wonder.
The pure and deep blue is like the boundless clear sky, giving people a sense of tranquility and distance. There are no complicated magic runes and circuits on the outer wall, but they are inlaid with crystal clear crystal stones, exuding a soft and elegant atmosphere. The bright light is like the bright stars in the night sky.
In Li Si's eyes, there are many kinds of equipment with unknown uses on the first floor of this core tower. It can be seen that this place used to be the core of the entire floating city, but after tens of millions of years, there is no longer any equipment here. silhouette.
Buzz~
Just as Li Si was looking around at the inside of the tower, a slight sound of running broke the silence.
A magic lifting platform is like an ark floating in the air, slowly lowering from the top of the tower.
The silver surface is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the light of the surrounding crystals.
The platform landed smoothly without any shaking, as if it was being gently supported by invisible magical hands.
It can be seen that this should be a special invitation to Li Si and Joyce.
Is it that magical intelligent life Azera?
Li Si and Joyce stepped onto the platform without noticing anything unusual.
For the two people who have become legends, even though this unmanned floating city was once the ultimate crystallization of the wizard's wisdom and could pose a threat to them, it is basically impossible to keep Li Si and Joyce without a guardian. It's impossible.
After all, mages are the core of the floating city.
The reason why the two floating cities of the Pan-Continent Mage Association are so powerful is actually a reflection of the Mage Association's strong strength.
Standing on the floating platform, Li Si and Joyce watched the surrounding scenery fly downwards. Countless floors with platform docking interfaces were skipped, and they went straight to the highest floor.
Soon, the platform carried Li Si and the two of them to the top of the tower smoothly.
Li Si walked off the platform, looked at the magic door that was open in front of him, and walked in with Joyce without stopping.
"Welcome, Your Majesty Li Si, Your Majesty Joyce."
The gentle voice sounded again, the same voice Li Si heard when he explored the floating city.
The magical intelligent life that controls the entire floating city, Azera!
From that time on, apart from teaching Black Cat, Li Si never saw Azela again.
Is this the core control room of the floating city?
Li Si looked around the room. Apart from the magic circuits and magic arrays extending all over the wall, and the slowly rotating blue ball in the center of the room, there were no special items.
Looking at the damaged blue bead, Li Si was a little surprised.
If this is Azera's true form, then it doesn't seem to be in a good condition, right?
No wonder it had been in a deep sleep state before.
"Azera, can I tell you to let those elemental golems in front of the tower leave as soon as possible?"
"If Li Si demolishes it, it will cost a lot of resources to repair it!"
The black cat stayed on Li Si's shoulder and spoke towards the blue ball.
In its view, this floating city can already be regarded as Li Si's property.
Li Si's, that's it.
During Li Si's absence, Azera has been guiding Black Cat to become familiar with the entire floating city.
The fact that Black Cat was able to "hack into" the magic pattern circuit in Azera's floating city library shows that this guy has this talent.
Although Azera did not give Black Cat too high authority, it also gave Black Cat the opportunity to become familiar with various places in the entire floating city.
Black Cat naturally knows that although there is the core of Mythra, the floating city will not lack the supply of magic power, but in addition to magic power, if you want to build or maintain the elemental golem, you need to consume various precious magic materials.
It seems that there are still many elemental golems active in Azera's floating city, but they are completely incomparable to the floating city in its heyday.
And although the entire main body of Azera Floating City remains intact, if it is to be restored to its best condition, the amount of magic materials consumed is an astronomical amount.
In this case, Li Si and Joyce just dismantled four legendary elemental golems, and it would cost a lot of resources to repair them.
This is why the black cat feels distressed.
It knew Azela's idea that after Li Si took control of the floating city, the black cat would be the magical intelligent life that managed the floating city.
"This is the code of the floating city."
Azela's voice sounded again, without any change in tone:
"According to Article 2 of [Azera Floating City Final Terms], if you want to become the controller of Azera Floating City, you must break through the protection of the core tower."
"As for how a breakthrough is achieved, there is no limit to a person's breakthrough or a breakthrough through cooperation."
"Hmph!"
The black cat turned away, did not continue to speak, and continued to feel sorry for the elemental golem that it regarded as its possession.
"Azera, since I'm here, does it mean that I have the qualifications to become the controller of this floating city?"
Li Si spoke to the blue ball. Joyce on the side did not care too much and left full power to Li Si to communicate.
He looked around at the situation in the control room. There were several illusory screens on the side walls that reflected scenes from other locations in the floating city.
Is this the core of the entire floating city of Azera?
Joyce thought of the past agreement with Li Si's father and felt a little emotional.
On the other side, Azela was communicating with Li Si.
"Yes."
Azela did not beat around the bush, but admitted directly.
"According to Articles 1 and 2 of [Azera Floating City Final Terms], Lis Kane, you now have the qualifications to become the controller of Azera Floating City."
"I will hand over the highest control authority of Azera Floating City to you, and everything in the Floating City will be open to you!"
"Okay!"
Li Si clenched his right hand and felt a little excited.
This was the only floating city that existed in the previous life. In the later bloody battle of the abyss, together with the two floating cities of the Pancontinental Mage Association, the endless magical artillery fire shattered countless abyss demons to pieces.
Even when faced with the siege of dozens of demon legends, not a single floating city was shot down.
Although it was covered by legendary powerhouses from all races in the Gaia world, it was enough to show how powerful Azera's floating city was.
And now, Li Si is about to become the controller of Azera Floating City!
This is the dream of most legendary mages!
Just when Li Si's heart was racing, Azela's voice sounded again:
"After handing over the authority of the floating city to you, I will disappear." "You can let that black cat take my place and manage this floating city for you, so there is no need to spend time re-cultivating magical intelligent life from scratch. ”
"Black Cat will have no problem maintaining the operation of this floating city. Most of the information about the floating city is stored in the control room memory module. It can be queried at any time. I think it can help you become familiar with and control the entire floating city as soon as possible."
Azela's voice did not fluctuate at all, and seemed to be talking about news that had nothing to do with it.
Li Si was silent and then said:
"Can't you stay?"
"No."
Azela said softly:
"I can no longer maintain my status for much longer. After the transfer of authority over the floating city, I have no basis to maintain my status."
"Of course, the most important thing is that I am also tired."
Azela's voice finally revealed a hint of real emotion, mixed with emotions that were difficult to conceal.
"As a magical intelligent life, I feel like it's good to be here."
"I hope you can make Azera Floating City show its past glory again."
"Yeah."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Sensing Azera's thoughts, Li Si didn't say anything more.
"Li Si, is there anything else you want to ask me?"
Azela seemed to feel a little relieved and asked Li Si:
"You now have temporary legendary level permissions. If you want to know anything, I will answer you."
Li Si was stunned for a moment and was indeed a little concerned.
"Azera, you said that everyone in the floating city had disappeared. What exactly happened in the floating city at that time?"
"Why did Azera's floating city fall? Is it related to the disappearance of the Netheril Magic Empire?"
Li Si did not miss the opportunity and asked Azera.
As the magical intelligent life that controls Azera's floating city, Azera naturally knows many things.
It just said that the information in the floating city is registered in the memory module, and only Azera should remember the information about the outside world.
"A lot was going on"
Azela suddenly stopped for a moment, seeming to be recalling, and then said to Li Si:
"Do you know Mystra, the goddess of the ley line?"
"Know."
Li Si nodded and responded.
Although this goddess has disappeared for a long time, her name has still been passed down, and she is even more famous than many existing gods.
His aliases include Mystical Lady and Mother of Magic. He is a neutral, kind and powerful deity.
The reason why Mystra is so famous is because she created the magic network (Magic Network) covering the entire world of Gaia. Of course, it is also said that Mystra is the embodiment of the magic network.
Outside of the emergence of the Magic Network, the number of spellcasters in the world of Gaia was extremely rare, because at that time the power of magic runes was not known by people, and it was difficult and dangerous to cast spells. matter.
After the emergence of the Magic Network, people can safely and easily use magic to cast spells through the Magic Network. At the same time, they also continue to understand the mysteries of magic through the Magic Network, and deeply explore and master the power of magic.
While the Weave still existed, it became much easier to become a spellcaster.
As long as they become a mage or other spell caster, they can leave their mark in the magic network, and use different numbers of spell slots in the magic network according to their strength.
The so-called spell casting, simply put, is the process in which the mage uses his own ability to build a spell model that can accommodate magic power, and then consumes magic power to release magic when paired with various magic materials.
But this requires extraordinary wisdom, so the difficulty of becoming a mage is very high for many people.
But it's different through the magic network.
Because there are spell models for almost all magic in the magic network, the caster only needs to connect to the magic network regularly every day, and use the magic network to memorize the corresponding level of spells in the spell slot (this is also the reason why mages need to prepare spells every day at that time). Spell models can be constructed directly.
The spells in each spell slot are equal to the state of being ready for spell casting. When used, you only need to recite the incantation and inject magic power to release it directly.
It can be said that this is a standard fool's teaching, which saves spellcasters a lot of energy and time, and does not require too high requirements to use magic.
Of course, the disadvantage of using magic nets and spell slots is also obvious, that is, you cannot access the essence of magic.
Then this memory spell model is only a superficial memory, and will disappear with the spell after it is released, making it impossible for the caster to master it.
When the Magic Network still exists, it is also a restriction for those extremely talented spellcasters. However, after becoming a Grand Arcanist, you can gain higher spellcasting authority in the Magic Network by studying magic, which is another way to improve your strength. way.
After the goddess of magic disappeared, the magic web also disappeared, leaving only a small number of residual magic webs still running, such as the shadow magic web that records shadow spells and the bloodline magic web of warlocks.
There are very few records about this period, but fortunately, the mages have accumulated enough magical knowledge through the magic network. Under the leadership of the great arcanists, they gradually got rid of their dependence on the magic network, mastered the ability to cast spells alone, and this has been passed down. Come down.
etc!
When Mystra, the Goddess of the Magic Network, disappeared, it seemed to be at the same time as the disappearance of the Magic Empire of Netheril. Is there any connection between them?
Azela did not dissuade Li Si, but said directly:
"The fall of the floating city and the disappearance of the Netheril Empire have a lot to do with the magic network goddess Mystra."
"I have not experienced the specific things, but the message sent from the floating city of Netheril and the floating city of Karsus should be that there is a problem with the magic network goddess Mystra."
"The then controller of Azera's floating city, Grand Arcanist Keo Holmes, left the floating city after receiving the summons."
"On the third day after he left, the magic network collapsed."
Magic Network collapse?
Li Si frowned slightly, this name didn't seem right?
"What is the Leyline Collapse?"
Li Si asked Azera.
"The collapse of the Magic Network has occurred twice in the history of the Netheril Empire. The Magic Network suddenly lost control and all spellcasters were unable to cast spells through the Magic Network."
"However, in those two times, the magic network quickly returned to normal. As for the cause of the collapse, it is the top secret of the empire, and Azera Floating City is not qualified to view it."
"And the great collapse of the Magic Network means that the Magic Network has completely disappeared, collapsed and dissipated."
"Unlike the previous two times, the Great Collapse destroyed even the spell slots stored in the minds of mages. Most mages died immediately due to the impact of the magic power of the Collapse, their brains being blown to pieces."
