Chapter 23
It is indeed a scene of very difficult to deal with.
Adam's eyes cannot fully see the whole picture of this port city, but the pier alone is amazing enough.
Magic technology has completely surpassed the existence of Earth, ether, magic, and'mystic' energy in terms of application, making it very simple for a technology to change from theory to reality.
All the “machines” working on the dock have completely deviated from the scope of traditional power that Adam understands, which means that Adam’s current knowledge has no way to understand their principles.
The robotic arm suspended out of thin air accurately grasped the hull of the ship, and firmly fixed the ship on the "slot" of the dock. A passage made of unknown substances appeared under everyone's feet. The mages signaled the apprentices to step on. Then all the streets began to flow, sending everyone to the dock.
Next is the torrent of silver, naked eyes can’t tell whether they are individuals or groups at all. After Adam diverges the spirit strength, he vaguely observes that it is a general alchemical product of countless “nano robots”. They wrapped the Moldo Academy in an instant, and then disappeared at the same speed. Adam found that the stains and wastage of the ship after a long voyage had been completely repaired, and the entire ship was completely new.
Then the ship'melted' into the dock in an unknown way, disappeared.
In other places in the port, the same thing has been happening all the time. The apprentices even saw bigger and more magical ships appear, not only on the sea, but even in the sky with flying objects from time to time.
No runway, no noise or turbulence, the aircraft takes off and landed so smoothly.
Mages ignored the apprentice’s amazement. They have become accustomed to such scenes. This is the first step for all the “indigenous” from overseas islands to know the advanced world of mage.
"Is this the world of mage? Such a world is...it is..." William muttered to himself. On the island where he was born, the southern seaport city is already the most developed city, but still cannot escape the shackles of primordial productivity. He can't imagine that the humans here live like this on the other side of the sea.
"It's incredible. No wonder I have never seen any mage before, not even a mage apprentice. If I see these, I can't go back to the past life." Ophelia Sighing to herself, her experience in the Northland since she was a child is worse than William's, so the impact she has received is even greater.
Adam is infinitely gratified that it is very good to come to such a world, come into contact with such an advanced civilization, and have the opportunity to explore the unknown, without having to spend the rest of his life in loneliness.
After waiting quietly for a while at the port, a'car' drove over. It is not the form of a car that Adam is familiar with. It has no wheels and no exhaust ducts. This car travels in a low-altitude suspension and stops firmly in front of the mages.
The car door opened, and a driver in a very colorful uniform saluted the mages respectfully: "Dear Lord Mage, welcome back to the mage continent. The application for the Transmission Formation permission has been completed and it will be within two hours. It will start on time."
Mage Blake said to him nodded and said to the apprentices: “It’s a pity that there is no time for you to visit Karachi Port this time. Apprentices in the same period as you have arrived at the Academy. We Need to hurry up."
Of course, the apprentices did not dare to have any doubts, and said in unison: "Your will, respected Mage Blake."
Everyone filed in, inside the car The space of is far larger than that seen outside, Adam couldn't help but wonder, can even the knowledge of space be extended to civilian use?
But in such a developed world, there will be a brutal way of fighting like Academy War? Adam took this question in his heart and was about to set foot on the road soon, so the basic information about mage world would soon be understood.
In the car, the curious Kristal asked the driver: "Sir, may I ask what we are riding..." In her mind, the concept of transportation is only animal-powered vehicles and There are two kinds of ships, and she doesn't know what to call them.
The driver is very talkative. Hearing this gently explained: "The general-purpose suspension vehicle in the industry, its name. It is derived from the creation of the great archmage."
"It's amazing! "Kristal was very plain and exclaimed. She really couldn't think of other words.
The driver didn’t say anything. Facing these apprentices from the "desert island", he felt a sense of superiority in his heart, which was similar to "Although I don’t have the qualifications for mage, I can also enjoy mage." Results' like this.
The general-purpose suspension vehicle in the industry appears to be closed from the outside, but people sitting in the vehicle can clearly see the outside scene.
Adam carefully observes what he saw on the road. The buildings are high-rise structures. Each building is integrated and towering into the sky. There is brilliance flowing on it, but the distribution is not dense, and there are large areas in between. In the open area, the facilities like lanes are distributed in an orderly manner. Numerous floating vehicles are driving in the middle and lower floors, and the higher floors are empty. Adam guessed that it should be a passage for the transcender to fly away.
There are not many pedestrians on the ground, but their walking style is very unusual-after all, living in such an incredible and huge city, if you rely on ordinary walking methods, it may take a long, long time to reach your own Destination, so most of them are using blood energy bursts to advance, and occasionally some people use unintelligible abilities. These are probably mage apprentices.
Sure enough, the native ordinary persons of the mage continent all possess the power of Knight rank.
Adam saw at least three fights along the way. There were Knight confrontations, even magical duels, but no one came to stop them. People like Law Enforcer never showed up. Everyone I'm used to fighting.
Adam pointed to the scene of the battle just passing by, and asked the driver strangely: "No one stopped it?"
The driver said flatly: "Very ordinary things, Karachi At least a dozen people die in duels every day in Hong Kong. As long as they apply in advance and promise to compensate for the public facilities destroyed in the duel, the Council of Mages allows conflicts to be resolved in this way."
, The'Council of Mages' is probably the governing agency on the plane of mage. In this world of apparently extraordinary individual power, the laws against ordinary persons on Earth are obviously not easy to implement, and the mages seem to be reluctant to spend time on it. In maintaining balance and upholding justice, it is normal that there will be a "judicial duel" method similar to that invented by the ancient Germans on Earth?
What is this? The barbarism in civilization? Or a civilization maintained by barbarism?
The driver asked strangely: "Are duels not allowed on deserted islands? Then what do you use to resolve conflicts?"
Quentin sneered: "Duels can only be initiated by nobles. Duel..." He stopped when he said here. Adam is a commoner, but Randy and Kristal are the same. It's not good to keep talking.
But this is enough for the driver to understand that he didn't express anything about the status of civilians, but said: "There are no nobles on the mage continent, only mortals and mage. The only limitation of duels is that mage cannot initiate against mortals. "He paused for a while and then said: "Offending mage is a capital crime. Of course, there would be no mortals as stupid."
Then there was nothing to say, and he quickly reached his destination.
Transmission Formation In a peculiar building with a scientific and mystic color, Adam cannot describe its appearance in words, because it seems to change all the time.
"Visual deception caused by space-time interference?" Adam can only analyze this way. After coming here, all he has seen and heard is beyond his inherent knowledge, and the incomplete knowledge brought from Earth does not seem to be much. Useful place.
The floating car trail left by itself. Adam and the others walked into the building under the leadership of the mages. It looks very lively here. There are many people coming in and out at every moment, and their unique energy fields are intertwined with each other. , So that all the apprentices felt extreme discomfort.
That is a kind of powerlessness when facing a higher level of life.
Mage can most perfectly constrain its own field when alone. This is a means to avoid useless energy consumption. It is also a protection for mortals, but when there are plural mage or low-level mage faces in a space When dealing with more advanced mages, their field will spread spontaneously, which is probably similar to a unique identity certificate and class certificate.
The four mages of Moldo Academy also appeared humble after entering the building. From time to time, they stopped and bowed their heads to the high-level mage passing by. The apprentices were even more trembling with fear cautiously, for fear of which behavior would offend. Lord Mage, caused the disaster of extinction.
They walked all the way in, and Mage Blake lowered his voice and said, "All Transmission Formation belongs to the second element Saint Tower. It is the property of the great Randolph True Spirit archmage. You must maintain sufficient humility. , We will see Saint Tower mage later, remember, don’t speak."
This is the first solemn request of Mage Blake. No one dares to express doubts. The consequence of disrespect is death, no one. wanna die.
After walking through a corner and passing through a light curtain, everyone finally saw Transmission Formation-it was a regular graphic composed entirely of runes, each rune contained a strong magical power, it seemed Floating in front of his eyes, but appearing illusory and untouchable, ether from the void is continuously injected into the rune. Facing this magic array, everyone's souls are trembling. Adam is quite sure that the burst of any one of them is enough to destroy the apprentices present. Hundreds of times.
The host of Mage Array is a mage who cannot see his face. Like Mage Array, he seems to stand between reality and illusion: "Moldo Elemental Tower? Right?"
After the four mage bowed, Mage Blake respectfully said: "Yes, dear Saint Tower Lord Mage." He took out the complete ether crystal from an unknown place and handed it to Saint Tower mage.
