Chapter 1061 Who Said Magic Cannot Be Used by the People?

It seems that after being outside for so long, the stupid bird has learned a lot of things, such as using tableware and drinking soup. During the meal, I was very happy to see that the little crow finally stopped grabbing food directly and drank the soup. Sometimes she would not plop her head into the soup pot: You know, just these two things at home made this silly bird a lot of trouble for everyone. Every time she ate, I wanted to put up a bunker next to her. She can feed you a meal to the extent that the food is evenly distributed within a radius of two meters.

It's much better now. Although it still looks a little clumsy, the little crow can indeed drink soup with a spoon and eat noodles with chopsticks - this is much better than grabbing it with hands, right?

Because we wanted to experience more local food (and prevent a certain big-eating queen from attracting the attention of the whole city with one meal), we detoured for two hours and changed several combat locations for this meal. In fact, sometimes I envy Sandora, her surprisingly strong appetite and endless appetite. If you go to a place you have never been to to experience local food, then this talent obviously has a huge advantage: you can One meal can take what others would eat for half a month. Ordinary people would be half-dead after eating a few mouthfuls of each local food. But Sandora almost set off to eat two hundred kilometers away after going around the entire city. After a meal...I finally succeeded in admonishing him to death.

"Wow... I feel quite full." My foodie queen finally patted her belly with satisfaction and let out a sigh of satisfaction. I couldn't help but cast curious eyes on her slender waist. Well, what can the Prime Minister have in his belly? Punting is a declarative sentence in Sandora.

"It tastes quite good. Moreover, they are all common people's dishes, and there are many varieties." Lin Xue breathed out, seeming to relax his stomach. "This world has quite a lot of research on eating. I think the snacks here are no better than ours." There are so few there, especially the three-layered fruit cup just now. How do you think they came up with it? The person who invented that thing must have too much stuff to waste..."

"There are a lot of fun things here." Lilina smiled, "You know, this planet is one size larger than the earth, and the land area accounts for more than 64%, and most of it is a habitable zone. , which means that the living space here is several times that of the earth - and that does not include those lost worlds. In such a large world, there are more than a dozen highly intelligent races with independent cultural systems. Some of them are native species. There are also some mixed races that emerged after several gaps in history. They became independent from the original racial and cultural system. There are so many racial and cultural branches, and they all have continued from ancient times to the present. Do you think this can You can’t count how many things you have cooked up, and you can’t even count the food you eat. Of course, you may not be able to accept the food of some races, such as the roasted stone eggs of the hilly goblins and the raw meat feast of the Ward people. But I think Sister Sandora shouldn’t have any pressure on these things.”

Shandora had long been leisurely fascinated by this time: "Ajun, we must drag this world to the Empire District - we must!"

After eating and drinking, everyone seemed extremely energetic. This may be related to the fact that Qian Qian and Lilina, the two high-explosive and catalyst combinations, finally got together: as long as the two of them are together, they basically crush daily life. You can imagine an activist whose thinking is always in a parallel space. What a terrifying combination to be mixed up with a troublemaker whose morality is often in another dimension. Fortunately, this time their goal is to travel around instead of destroying the world. So we spent nearly a day almost circling the entire Sentu Port, eh. I went around the main and distinctive urban areas. After all, this is a large city. The guide is of course Lilina. Although she has only been here for more than a day (they rushed here after confirming the teleportation location of the ancient garden to the mother continent. Lilina and the four of them had been staying elsewhere before), but this girl has been here for a long time. The way she talked about things on the road could almost be mistaken for the real thing by the locals. Needless to say, Lilina did nothing at all after arriving here. She just tried her best to inquire about the things here with the locals, just so that she could chat in front of me today. throughout the day, and then substitute a compliment that may exist. Faced with this girl's unusual way of trying, I really have no choice at all.

As a city like a transit station, Sentu has a large area, but there are not many residential areas and places that can be called characteristic landscapes. It faces the "port" (local people sometimes call the large plain "dry port"). ", which is quite realistic) The block on one side is basically occupied by various hotels and rental warehouses. One-third of the city is also related to material turnover. There is nothing to see. The more distinctive places are except for the central square. Outside is the "Special Materials Trading Market" and the "Secret Society". The former is the place most familiar to explorers. They find rare materials or scraps that may have research value from dangerous areas in the lost world that have not yet been completely controlled by humans. Iron is sold on the "Special Materials Trading Market", and the buyers are basically alchemists and scholars. The former's status in this world is getting lower and lower, while the latter is highly respected. These are two classes with huge differences that have to directly interact with each other. The place they come into contact with is prosperous and weird - the harvest of explorers often fluctuates greatly, and they themselves are loose and unorganized. No one can monopolize the circulation of goods in this industry, so to this day, this small commodity wholesale-like transaction method still exists robustly. By. The "Special Materials Trading Market" is located next to the city's central square, in front of the dark alley area.

The "Secret Society" is located at the other end of the city, almost far away from the urban area and almost to the suburbs. This is because the "Secret Society" requires a relatively quiet environment, and the people gathered there are basically researchers who need quiet.

Lilina focused on the Mystery Society. She praised this unique facility. It is a public facility serving mages, alchemists, religious believers and other weird researchers in this world, and is available to all applicants. Basic material and site services are provided, as well as information inquiry and transaction entrustment. In other words, if you are an alchemist who needs to go out for research, you can find a local secret society and pay a certain handling fee. Rent a laboratory and start your own work. Of course, you can also find accommodation here with much better facilities than in the city in the above capacity, but the price is also much higher than in the city. But as the saying goes, scientific research is inherently It’s just a money-burning business…

After listening to Lilina's introduction, I felt that this public facility called the Secret Society was a bit like a public laboratory with a high degree of freedom, and it also had the function of a library. The Secret Order does not belong to any collective. It is similar to a complex of open museums, libraries, laboratories, and talent markets on Earth. Some have been invested and established by individuals, and some have been invested and established by large chambers of commerce, with different sizes. This is something unique to this world, and it is also where we will rest today - Lilina has rented an area here for a long time, using Medivh. of a feather.

“Our registered status is that of religious believers,” Lilina excitedly asked me for credit. "Crow God believers! The religious environment in this world is too free, and there are many gods. Even gods with only three or five believers exist. If you make up a god yourself, no one from other churches will attack you. Ah, this world It is simply a paradise tailor-made for this Pope... We are here."

I was still busy analyzing how Lilina's world with many gods could prevent religious wars from breaking out under normal logic, and then I realized that the group of people had already arrived in the suburbs. This place is located at the other end of the city directly opposite the port turnover area. There are no ordinary residential areas around, the buildings are sparse, and there are basically no ordinary civilians wearing coarse cloth walking around on the streets. Most of the people strolling on the stone road that had just been sprinkled with water and was still a little damp were dressed in a higher-end style. He looks like a well-educated scholar. Although there are also some slovenly people among scholars, and most people who devote themselves to academics do not know how to take care of their own daily life. But a moderately successful scholar will always have one or two assistants to take care of him, so the mages and alchemists who can be seen outside are still dressed more or less.

I looked around, and the scattered houses around me were obviously different from the rest of the city: they were taller, their lines changed from thick and straight to slender and elegant, and the main body of the building was no longer made of wood and stone. It has a rough structure, but uses more advanced construction technology. These tall buildings with elegant lines are all white, and there are no gaps in the brickwork. It is obvious that the walls have been treated with something similar to paint. The tops of all the buildings are covered with golden colored glaze. From a distance, they have a magnificent look. It feels like I really want to sigh when I look at the scene around me. The people who are related to the mage are indeed a group of wealthy people - at least the chamber of commerce that invests in them. It is said that the most beautiful building in Shadow City seems to be the Mage Tower in Silver Moon District.

"Magic and knowledge are elegant arts," Lilina read a line of text floating in the air in front of the entrance to the square, and then added her own opinion, "So those who study this stuff are basically bastards, no matter how you talk about this world Most of the researchers are considered to be magicians, so almost all mystic societies are of this style." After sighing, she took out a metal plate the size of a matchbox, shook it in the air, and blocked the way in front of us. A column of light beams disappeared out of thin air: Is this an access control system from another world?

The entire secret area is an independent area about the same size as the city's central square. There are no walls around it, but it is surrounded by a circle of light beams pointed straight into the sky. These light beams are fences formed by magical power, and what inspires them is embedded in the ground. A row of metal discs with complex magic array patterns engraved on them. The discs can also sense the energy field of the "key" waving nearby. If it is interfered by the key, the light beam will temporarily disappear for a while. In fact It proves that even without the high technology on earth, magical civilization can do many science fiction things, such as laser barriers and sensor-based monthly passes.

"We live in the tall tower in front. In this world, there is no population pressure, and high-strength building materials can only be produced by alchemists and magicians, so the buildings are usually not too high. Only some scholars like them. Living in a high place not only broadens your mind, but also allows tabloid reporters who come to interview you to die of exhaustion in the middle of the road: there is something similar to an elevator in the tower, but under any circumstances the elevators and teleportation arrays in the secret facility are wrong. Journalists are open to the public. This is the basic moral code for all scholars in this world." Lilina led us to a tall white tower. The diameter of the base of this tower was at least a hundred meters in diameter, and the height was about four to five hundred meters: In a world where the average building height is only three or four stories. This is simply a giant building. It can be seen that the experts and scholars in this world almost hate the tabloid reporters crazy. If it were not for their poor materials skills, they would definitely build the Burj Khalifa all over the world. Lilina still swiped at the door. Card, then led everyone into the lobby on the first floor of the tower, "We are on the twentieth floor, and the entire floor is covered. The feathers of the little bird are really good things. When she changes her feathers, I can Buy the entire Sentu..."

The first floor of the white tower is a circular hall. Yes, there are no other rooms on the entire first floor, only a very wide hall. The floor of the hall is paved with green and light gray intersecting smooth floor tiles, which can be seen every ten meters on average. I saw a thick pillar supporting the high roof, with a gorgeous crystal chandelier above it. The entire hall was illuminated with bright lights: a bright and steady light that was obviously not illuminated by fuel. Circle around the hall. You can see many semi-curved service desk-like seats. There are uniformed staff on duty at each service desk, showing an eight-toothed smile to every target walking upright who passes by. Many people in different clothes and hurried expressions are walking around in the hall. This atmosphere gave me the first impression. The feeling is that when you open the door and go out later, what you see may not be a different world, but a civil airliner that is about to take off...

What is even more eye-opening are the four hollow crystal pillars in the center of the hall. These four hollow pillars are completely transparent. The inner diameter inside is about three meters. Just when I was wondering what this thing was for. Inside one of the pillars, a suspended metal platform suddenly descended slowly from upstairs. There were four or five old men in purple robes on the platform - this is a sightseeing elevator!

There must be a civil aviation station outside the tower! This place must be a newly built airport somewhere, right?

A group of people boarded this magical version of the elevator from another world. Although everyone has seen elevators, this was the first time we encountered an anti-gravity sightseeing elevator driven by magic. The development of magic in this world has obviously come a long way in terms of people's livelihood. I suddenly remembered that I was eating in the Central Square. At that time, the stoves used by the stall owner seemed to have automatic temperature adjustment and a blower function...

Vanilla always had an expression of curiosity on her face but didn't dare to show it too much. She wanted to squat down and study the luminous patterns on the suspended metal platform several times. It was obvious that she was from a mountainous area and had never seen the world. She didn't even know many words. For a local girl, things here are still full of novelty - even though she has been in Sentu Port for almost two days. And the idiot Medivh kept trying to smash the transparent shell of the sightseeing elevator with her face. After watching it for a long time, I realized that she wanted to peck the shiny "glass" with her mouth. Bingtis was making a bet with 123 about the rated load of this magic-driven anti-gravity elevator. The former decided to take out a ton of rocks from his pocket and try it by hitting the platform under his feet, but I stopped him. Qian Qian kept grinning and making faces at the floors passing by outside the elevator, trying to attract others' attention. Later, Lilina couldn't help but remind her: "You can't see the inside of the elevator from the outside when you reach the second floor or above. This is One-way glass..." So Qianqian was greatly disappointed and asked dissatisfiedly: "Then what do they mean by making both sides of the first floor transparent?"

Lilina shrugged: "The main purpose is to win."

The elevator stopped at the 20th floor. The layout of the tower is the same from the seventh floor up (maybe the sixth floor? I can’t count). It’s a bit like a comprehensive office building, with four transparent pipes going in four directions. A corridor extends, and there are rooms on both sides of the corridor. These rooms are basically not too big. Some of them are used to meet the accommodation requirements of less than two people, and some can be used as small laboratories, activity rooms or reading rooms. However, the entire second floor here is reserved by Lilina, and it is said that in order to "lay the first foundation for the Crow God Cult", she has permanently bought this floor as an office, and she does not need to care about the rooms. .

And just when we stepped out of the "elevator" and were about to throw ourselves on the bed to thank our legs and feet (we had already walked around the entire city today), a small man suddenly walked out of a room in front. Girls.

Why are there outsiders here?

The little girl seemed to be frightened when she saw the large group of us, but after seeing the four of Lilina, she immediately showed a relieved smile and hurried over to greet her. I noticed that the other party was probably only She is about 1.4 meters tall, but has the mature figure of an adult. She is wearing a long black skirt with two straight silver ribbons hanging down from the breast - I can't help but focus on Little Crow and Vanilla. , they also had two such ribbons hanging from the breasts of their dresses, but they were gold. Originally, I thought this was an inherent decoration of this dress, but this short girl with a silver ribbon hanging on her chest Makes me doubt my guess a little bit. In addition to the silver ribbons, another part of the other party's clothes that people have to pay attention to is the hem of her skirt: it is dotted with many golden feather ornaments, which are also found on Little Crow and Vanilla's clothes.

Apart from her clothes, what attracted more attention was her head - the girl had a pair of beautiful yellow cat ears, the same color as her short hair.

Cat ears...cat ears...cat...

"Hey, my kid's dad is on top!" Paopao screamed strangely on the spot and climbed up. His 1.1 meter tall head hung back and forth on her 1.4 meter tall body, and he stretched out his hand quite rudely. He pinched the person's ears with one hand and said a lot of words in his mouth, "This is so cute! Cat girl who has the most cuteness in this world, hurry up and sign a contract with me to become a cute girl. Come and meow for my sister." One...Eh? Ah! You can't do this to the child's father! You can't interfere with your wife's normal life hobbies! Put me down! I'm not Lilina, you can't do this to me! It's unreasonable! Little Paopao, come and help you mom!"

I picked up this guy who was already hopelessly poisonous and hung it in the air for a long time. After struggling for a while, the world finally became quiet. Now look at the short girl with cat ears - the fluff on her ears is exploding. Based on my usual experience of raising fox dogs, this girl is definitely very scared.

"Let me introduce to you, her name is So-and-so. She is one of the first few followers of Crow God. I took her with me when we set off. Her main mission here is So-and-so."

Lilina pointed at the already helpless cat girl and introduced happily. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
