"This is because first-level spells do not require this level of knowledge. In short, this bridge could have been built by the Cyclops Empire under the guidance of a planeswalker. Or it could be that the archmage of the Cyclops Empire who directed the construction of this bridge was himself a planeswalker who returned home in glory. This is not uncommon.
"The pattern under our feet now is the center point of the entire structure."
Mel looked at the pattern on the ground in confusion, obviously not following the conversation at all.
The king was still doing his own thing. He held Nini's shoulders with both hands, "put" her to a certain point, and pointed to the tower in the distance: "My eyesight is not good. Tell me, can you see the base built by the dwarf of the tower?"
They couldn't see the tower, only the base.
Nini: "Yes, the distance is about..."
"You don't need to report the distance, so standing at this point, you can clearly see the base of the tower without any obstruction, right?"
"Yes, the top of the tallest building in the city that I saw could not block the base. Standing on this bridge, you can clearly see the base."
Wang: "That's why the bridge is so high! Magic doesn't necessarily require direct visual contact, but it does require the addition of a series of precise spatial positioning statements."
Master Meier, who was originally looking at the map under his feet, suddenly looked up: "Spatial positioning!"
Wang: "Yes, it will make the spell extremely complicated. So it is better to build a very tall building to ensure direct line of sight."
Elizabeth obviously didn't understand the whole thing, but she wanted to participate in the conversation, so she asked, "So you already have a solution to this?"
"Me? No, no, there's no way I can do that. But you see, since the one who set it up took great pains to maintain a direct line of sight, let's block it."
As he spoke, Wang stood behind Nini and gently pushed the back of her ear with his hand, turning her ear completely sideways and turning it into a measuring tool.
Nini: "Teacher, you don't have to measure it yourself, you can let me tell you."
Wang: "I've measured it out, and it looks like we'll need a strip of cloth about one meter wide. As for the length, to be on the safe side, let's just block off the entire tower."
Elizabeth: What are you going to do?
Wang: "Isn't there a Griffin Knight? I want to get a piece of cloth that is long and wide enough for the Griffin Knight to hold and hang up, so that it can perfectly cover the tower."
Rosalie: "The Griffin Knight can't hover perfectly, so let the Griffin Knight hold it and fly to or from the tower. And because the Griffin Knight can't walk in a perfectly straight line, it will definitely deviate, so this cloth needs to be big."
The king snapped his fingers and said, "The princess is right. You are worthy of being the princess of a country with Griffin Knights."
"Just a laundress. I'll arrange the cloth. It'll definitely take me till quite late. How about we rest in the fortress tower next door until the cloth is finished?"
Wang: “Okay!”
**
It was already late in the evening when the cloth was completed and delivered to the tower by the griffin riders.
But Bernal ordered the experiment to begin immediately.
The cloth that Rosalie had made was so heavy that it was transported here using fifteen griffins hanging it with ropes.
The Monrovia mages had to cast the Bull's Strength spell on all their griffins.
After the cloth was fully unfolded, the griffins suddenly discovered that such a large cloth would be blown away by the wind in the air. The emperor's wizards had to use wind-making magic to artificially counteract the natural wind.
After a long time of hard work, everything was ready. The giant curtain was accurately placed between the geometric point that Wang was looking for and the base of the tower.
But nothing happened.
Bernal: "Is this a failure? Damn it, I'm actually trying to do this at a time like this!"
Wang: “Wait a minute!”
He pushed Nini, using the elf's ear as a measuring instrument, measuring as he walked, and found the midpoint of the line connecting the fortress tower and the base of the high tower in the distance.
Wang: "If not there, then it should be here. Make sure it is high enough to completely block the fortress tower."
The fortress tower is only high in foundation, and its height itself is not very high, which is more than enough for this hastily made giant curtain.
Then everyone worked hard, and after the mages replenished the power of the bull twice, the curtain was finally moved between the fortress tower and the high tower.
Wang stood at the original point, with one hand on Nini's shoulder, as if holding a handy prop, and the other hand holding Rosalie's arm.
"Is the tower still there?" he asked.
Rosalie: "Still, fine."
Wang: "That's weird. It should have been blocked, right? Is there a leak?"
At this moment, a very strong wind blew, suddenly overwhelmed the wind-making spells cast by the mages to counter the natural wind.
The giant screen was blown off course.
Wang: "What's wrong? Get well soon... What happened to you?"
Stunned, Rosalie pointed at the tower in the distance: "It... is gone!"
Wang suddenly realized, "I see! We were aiming at the base and couldn't see the tower! That's why we missed the target!"
In the blink of an eye, a huge amount of magical energy gushed out from the center of the pattern under the feet of the three people, pushing them into the sky.
Chapter 115 Stars on Earth
In fact, not only Wang, Nini and Rosalie flew, but Elizabeth was also nearby and flew, but the direction she flew was a little off.
The king shouted in the air: "Feather Falling Technique!"
So the three of them slowed down their descent speed immediately. Xiaobai, who had just taken off, took a look and turned back to find Elizabeth. She grabbed Elizabeth and flew back to the bridgehead, throwing her in a sheltered place.
Beside the bridge the emperor and his guards were trying to calm the frightened horses.
The old wizard Mel, who was neither sprayed into the sky by the magic fountain nor waiting under the bridge, was kneeling on the bridge and shouting: "What a pure torrent of magic! This is the sunset glow from the great Cyclops Empire!"
The hurricane formed by the torrent of magic almost blew the skinny old man away. His wizard robe was blown up and looked like a sail.
Several of his apprentices rushed forward regardless of the danger and held the old man's arms tightly.
The worst off were the griffins in the sky. They were dragging the extremely heavy curtain and were blown by the magical wind directly towards the city of Minos downstream.
The king and his entourage in the sky were not having a good time either. The magic hurricane was blowing them towards the upper reaches of the Lai Enlan River, and it looked like the three of them holding hands were bound to fall into the water.
Rosalie: "I can't swim!"
Wang: "You grew up by the Xunya River, the largest hippopotamus river on the continent, and you can't swim?"
"No!" Rosalie cried.
Wang: "Don't be afraid, you should be lighter than water. You can float if you can tread water. You just need to drink some water. Remember this later, when you get into the river, don't panic, don't struggle, hold on to me or Elizabeth, and keep treading water up and down."
"Is it really possible?"
"Believe me."
Nini: "Just believe him. If you are really scared, just hold on to me. I can swim, and as long as you don't struggle, you will be fine. You don't even need to tread water."
Wang: "I thought you would use your light skill to float on water and take us away."
Nini: "I'm not a monk!"
As they talked, the three of them slowly left the area of the magic storm and landed in the shallow water near the shore.
The three drowned rats walked ashore hand in hand.
The king muttered, "My spellcasting materials are wet! I think some spells won't work. Let's quickly reunite with the Emperor's guards to ensure safety. Xiaobai!"
A bald eagle flew over, landed on the ground and turned into a giant wolf.
"Come on, all of you!" As he said that, the king threw the still frightened Rosalie onto the wolf's saddle like a sack.
Nini: "Teacher, can't you just let me ride properly?"
"Does he look like he can ride well now?" He took out a rope from his dimensional bag and tied Rosalie to the wolf saddle, then made a gesture of invitation to Nini.
Nini: "No, just go up and run."
"You're right." After saying that, the king jumped on the wolf and touched its head, and the giant wolf began to rush towards the bridge.
Nini jumped onto the bush next to her - a low bush unique to the Minoan Plain, barely two people tall. The elf jumped on the treetops, looking perfectly integrated with the bush.
As he climbed up the ramp, Wang looked toward the magic fountain that continued to erupt.
This thing formed a colorful cloud in the sky, which should be visible within a radius of ten kilometers.
Wang: "Wait a minute! This thing is an energy source! We can use it to fill the energy core! Xiaobai, run faster, or it will leak out if you run too slowly!"
Nini in the tree asked loudly, "Will the light leak?"
"Yes, but don't worry, the amount of leakage now far exceeds the amount that the energy cores in our hands can store, and it will definitely be full!"
"What can we do with it?" Nini asked again.
"I don't know. But a full Cyclops Energy Core is better than an empty one, right? Maybe we can find a scroll of mountain cutting someday and build a floating city for fun. Or maybe we can get a magic ship someday, and with the energy core we don't need a spellcaster to keep driving it."
Nini: "Is being full of energy cores the so-called gift of fate?"
"I don't know!" Wang repeated the word again, "Why do you have so many questions? I'll just call you Little Question Mark from now on!"
Rosalie was still dizzy on the giant wolf's back when she suddenly vomited a lot of water with a "wow".
At this moment, the giant wolf suddenly braked and turned to avoid the curtain falling from the sky.
The huge curtain created a lot of dust on the ground, making it difficult for the king and Elizabeth to open their eyes temporarily.
"Wind Creation!" Wang shouted, and a breeze blew away the smoke and dust. The wizard rubbed his eyes hard, and after his vision recovered, he urged Xiaobai, "Hurry up! We need to refill the energy core!"
Xiaobai jumped onto the rolling curtain and rushed to the bridge head with her nimble body. Halfway through, she turned into a human form and asked loudly: "Where should I stop?"
Wang: "You are carrying two people!"
It was too late for him to speak, and Rosalie, who was tied to the saddle, was tied directly to the little girl's waist.
The little girl was short, so Rosalie ended up dragging behind, looking like a werewolf girl dragging a plowshare.
Rosalie: "Ahhhhhh! Ouch! Aaaaaahhhh!"
Nini fell from the sky, cut the rope directly with the sharp arrowhead, and carried Rosalie.
Rosalie: “Thank you.”
Her body was covered with scratches from sand and gravel; her fair skin had become dirty and covered with shallow scars.
Wang looked back at Rosalie in Nini's arms and said loudly, "I know this. Elizabeth also had a red mark on her skin before, but it made her even more attractive! Rosalie is in the same condition now. She is obviously dirty, but...ah, it's over. I can't fall in love with her anymore."
Rosalie: "What the hell are you talking about? Does this make any logical sense?"
Nini: "My teacher has his own unique view on love."
