Four days later.
After going through 7 public cities along the way, Airship finally moored in the port of Guate in Wendu area.
Going further west, you will have to cross the uninhabited vast virgin forest. The small-type Airship like he is riding now cannot afford such a difficult task. In order to successfully reach the area ruled by Silver Union, he can only transfer to a more solid air fortress-floating battleship.
So when Grim took Alice and Kabi to step on the ship board from Airship, they were shocked by a horrible ship not far away.
This is a huge black warship with a whole body, and its size is more than ten times that of ordinary Airship. Three tall masts are distributed in the front, middle, and rear of the hull. Although there are canvases similar to the sails, Grim can feel them. They are not driven by wind.
Grim has good vision. Even if it is half a mile away, you can still clearly see a lot of strange rune and magic lines engraved on the mast. And the mast reflects the icy and cold metallic luster under the sun, giving a solid and unbreakable feel at first glance.
There are numerous portholes on the shuttle hull, but they are all covered by thick metal plates. However, according to the experience of Grim previous life, the strong ship can never be separated from the artillery, there may be the firepower point of this floating battleship.
The only thing I don't know is what kind of war Sorcerer Artifact is hidden inside.
There is also a two-story ship building above the hull, but the style is not for living. Instead, it looks like a platform for Adept battle casting magic.
The entire dark floating battleship is quietly moored on the high ground, and when viewed from a distance, it looks like a horrible steel giant entangled there, giving it a cold and powerful taste.
This is probably the floating battleship prepared by Silver Union for crossing dangerous channels!
When Grim looked away from floating battleship, it was discovered that the place where Airship landed was not a city, but an air port dedicated to transferring materials and personnel.
You can see rows of huge and thick wooden houses along the edge of the forest. Countless humans and weird alien races carry goods in and out. Obviously there is the storage warehouse at the airport. On the side far from the forest, there are rows of stone houses. There are many guys with Adept appearances in the open space in front of the stone houses. They look at the pointers and seem to be talking about something.
At the center of the airport is a sharp Stone tower towering high above it, with mysterious rune shining on it. Various hidden detection waves swept slowly in the void. The furthest distance can reach a dozen miles away in the forest. .
watchtower !
The internal space of this Tower is too narrow, it is impossible to accommodate too many Adept s, and it is impossible to install large-type's war Sorcerer Artifact, so it is mainly alert detection.
And 5 miles away, you can see the rolling black forest.
This is already the border of the Continent Central human settlements. The surrounding forests and seas have no signs of human reclamation activities, and it is impossible to have any large-type settlements. However, there are still scattered hunting and adventurer teams in the forest edge area, and occasionally some Adept looking for materials will appear here.
While Grim was slowly browsing the airport, a low hoarse voice sounded beside him.
"Welcome to you, Your Excellency Grim!"
Grim turned back and immediately saw the old wrinkled face of Adept Angus.
"I'm glad to see you again." Grim nodded with a smile.
"You have just arrived, let's find a place to rest first! The ferry ticket to Sky City has been arranged, and we can leave in three days." Compared to the previous, Adept Angus is obviously much more polite.
"Isn't there a floating battleship there? Why wait so long?" Grim asked curiously.
"floating battleship is ready, but the number of Adept is not enough!" Angus simply explained: "The channel through Sky City has undergone thousands of years of change. Although the distribution of monster along the way has been basically figured out, there are still dangers .So for the sake of insurance, every floating battleship will stay in this airport for a few days, and a sufficient number of Adept will set off.
"A sufficient number of Adept ?" Grim was the first time I heard these things: "How much will there be?"
"In general, it is enough to have sixty Adept . If you encounter some high rank Adept along the way, the number is not a problem.
Grim couldn't help secretly speaking.
Sixty people Adept ?
The Adept of the entire Sarubo Clan may not add up to such a scale, and floating battleship requires so many Adept s to pass once. And as far as he knows, such floating battleship needs to pass once every half a month.
From this calculation, the number of Adept between the two places every year is an unimaginable number!
Seeing Grim's surprised expression, Adept Angus smiled with understanding.
"Don't be surprised. When you go to Sky City, you will feel even more shocked. The number of Adept s there will exceed your imagination. Come on, I have arranged a rest place for you. Wait patiently for three days here. Three days later, a new Airship will arrive here, and the 60 Adept required will be ready! "
That's it!
After understanding the truth, Grim also let go of her mind, took Alice and Kabi, led by Adept Angus, and came to the row of stone houses.
The dwelling here is also very simple, except for a wooden bed in each stone house, it is a simple set of tables and chairs. There is no extra decoration. Of course, if it is not good to abandon it, you only need to walk 20 miles to the east, and there will be a human city of small-type, where there are all kinds of entertainment facilities.
But Grim didn't have the heart to go for joy. As soon as he settled into a good place, he took Adept Angus and hid in the back room and talked in detail.
After all, this time Sky City is a party, he has not understood the specific situation. When he got there, he didn't know what to do or how to do it. This is too passive for the Grim who always likes to plan and move!
If he only helps Byron Family where Adept Angus is located to win a small game, then he doesn't have to be so concerned. But now he wants to leave Kabi at Sky City, so the more he knows about the situation there, the greater the chance of success.
Through Adept Angus's endless narration, Grim finally understood the basic governance structure of Sky City and acted natural law, and also had a preliminary understanding of the so-called competition.
In the description of Adept Angus, Sky City is a Adept city floating above the sky. The whole city is distributed in a circular step, which can be roughly divided into three parts: inner ring, middle ring and outer ring.
The inner ring is an area where only Advanced Level members within Silver Union are allowed to enter, and the main control core of Sky City is located there. And there are Diviners Tower, vortex Tower and obelisk, which are famous throughout Adept Continent, as well as the desirable Storm Fortress.
The only way to get there is to join Silver Union and become a member of Parliament with honor, otherwise it will be difficult to step into it for life!
As for Central, it is the area where ordinary members of Silver Union and Profound Truth Adept are mainly active. Only Adept approved by Silver Union can settle and study there.
As for Sky City, all business activities are concentrated in the outer ring, where non-members are also allowed to settle and open shops. However, the store qualification is assessed every 10 years, and the assessment method is a fair and reasonable uprising.
Olympic competition can be divided into many types, including competition between Potion Master, competition between Alchemist, and competition between Magic Puppeteer ... As long as it is in the scope covered by Profound Truth Adept, similar ones can be found on Sky City Contest items.
Sky City has a limited number of stores that can be sold outside of its own stores. So strange goods can live, the higher the price! If any Adept Family or organization wants to win a shop in Sky City, they must try to win the Upanisport to be eligible to stay here.
Every existing store must accept the challenge of outsiders in the year of competition. Both parties invite Profound Truth Adept and then play fair. The winner stays and the loser quits Sky City!
Byron Family's stores in the outer ring have a long history of more than 70 years. It is also a major way for their family to continuously obtain Advanced Level Adept resources, which cannot be easily lost.
This year, the Byron Family store was challenged by a Powerful called the Gretto family. As the challenged, Byron Family has the initiative to choose the Olympic sports projects. Their choice this year is undoubtedly Magic Puppeteer.
This is actually a way for Silver Union executives to play tricks in order to improve the status of Profound Truth Adept!
In this way, if any Adept Family or organization wants to enter Sky City, they can only work hard to cultivate a strong Profound Truth Adept. If you can't train yourself, or simply hire a Profound Truth Adept in Sky City.
In this way, the status of Profound Truth Adept will rise. Many talents are excellent, but the shy Profound Truth Adept can also use this opportunity to obtain sufficient resources to continue his research.
But in this way, those Adept Family who have the heart and lack of energy will suffer.
After all, I want to cultivate a qualified Profound Truth Adept, whether it is an Alchemist capable of refining magicked item or Witchcraft equipment, or an Potion Master, Magic Puppeteer, the cost of which is not supported by an small-type family.
Most of Profound Truth Adept is sharpened from thousands of failures, and the resources consumed by each failure are a horrifying number.
