Mage Adam Chapter 23: What to see at Karachi Port
It is indeed a very powerful scene.
Adam's eyes can't fully see the whole picture of the port city, but the dock alone is amazing enough.
The application of magic technology has completely surpassed the existence of the earth, ether, magic, and "mysterious side" energy, which makes it very simple for a technology to change from a theory to a real thing.
All the 'machines' that work on the pier are completely out of the category 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 and firmly fixed the ship on the 'card slot' of the dock. A passage made of unknown substances appeared at the feet of everyone. The mages signaled the apprentices to step on them, and then the passage began. Flow, and send everyone to the top of the dock.
Next is the silver torrent. The naked eye can't tell whether they are individuals or groups. After Adam dissipates his spiritual power, he vaguely observes that it is the alchemy product of countless 'nano robots', which instantly wraps Moore The Multi-Academy, and then disappeared at the same speed, Adam found that the stains and wear and tear of the ship after the long voyage had been completely repaired, and the whole ship looked like new.
The ship then 'melts' into the pier in an unknown way and disappears.
In other parts of the port, the same thing happened all the time. The apprentices even saw bigger and more magical ships appear, not only on the sea, but also in the sky from time to time with flying objects docking.
No runway, no noise and no turbulence, the aircraft just takes off and lands smoothly.
The mages ignored the surprise of the apprentices. They were already familiar with such scenes. This was the first step for all the 'indigenous' from overseas islands to know the advanced world of mages.
"Is this the wizard's world? Such a world, it's just... simply..." William muttered to himself. On the island where he was born, the southern port city was already the most developed city, but it was still unable to escape the shackles of primitive productivity. He couldn't imagine that on the other side of the sea, the humans here actually lived like this.
"It's incredible, no wonder I've never seen any mage before, not even a mage apprentice. If I saw this, I wouldn't be able to go back to my past life." Ophelia sighed She said to herself that she had lived in the North since she was a child, and her knowledge was worse than William's, so the impact was even greater.
Adam's heart is infinitely gratified, coming to such a world, contacting such an advanced civilization, having the opportunity to explore the unknown, and not having to spend the rest of his life in loneliness is simply great.
After waiting quietly at the port for a while, a 'car' drove up. It is not the shape of the car that Adam is familiar with. It has no hubs and no exhaust pipes. This car travels in a low-altitude suspension and stops steadily in front of the mages.
The car door opened, and a driver in a very colored uniform saluted respectfully to the mages: "Dear mages, welcome back to the land of mages, the application for the permission to use the teleportation array has been completed, and it will be activated on time in two hours. "
Master Black nodded to him and said to the apprentices: "Unfortunately, there is no time for you to visit Karachi Port this time. The apprentices with you have already 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 Black."
Everyone filed in. The space inside the car was much larger than what he saw outside. Adam couldn't help but marvel. Can even the knowledge of space be extended to civilian use?
However, in such a developed world, there is actually a brutal way of fighting such as academy wars? Adam put this question in his heart, and he will soon set foot on the road, so the basic information about the mage world will soon be understood.
In the car, the curious Crystal asked the driver, "Sir, may I ask this..." She only had animal-drawn vehicles and the concept of transportation in her mind. There are two kinds of ships, and she doesn't know what to call them.
The driver was very talkative, and he gently explained: "The universal suspension car in the world, its name. It comes from the creation of the great mage."
"It's amazing!" Crystal's simple expression of amazement, she really couldn't think of other words.
The driver didn't say anything. Facing these apprentices from the 'desert island', he had a slight sense of superiority in his heart, which was probably like "Although I don't have the qualifications of a mage, I can still enjoy the achievements of mage".
The general-purpose suspension car in the industry looks closed from the outside, but people sitting in the car can clearly see the outside scene.
Adam carefully observed what he saw on the road. The buildings are high-rise structures. Each building is towering into the clouds. There are brilliance flowing on it, but the distribution is not dense. There are large open areas in between, similar to The facilities in the lanes are distributed in an orderly manner. Countless hover vehicles are driving on the middle and lower floors, and the higher floors are empty. Adam guessed that it should be a passage for the superhuman to escape.
There are not many pedestrians on the ground, but their walking methods are very unusual - after all, living in such an incredible and huge city, if you rely on ordinary walking methods, it will probably take a long time to reach your destination, so Most of them are using the burst of blood to move forward. Occasionally, some people use abilities that they can't understand. These are probably apprentices of mages.
Sure enough, the ordinary people in the Mage Continent all possess the power of the knight level.
Adam saw at least three fights along the way. There were knights confronting each other, and even magic duels, but no one went to stop them, and the enforcers never appeared. Everyone was accustomed to fighting. .
Adam pointed to the battle scene he just passed by and asked the driver strangely, "Is there no one to stop it?"
The driver said plainly: "It's a very common thing, at least a dozen people die in duels every day in Karachi port, as long as you apply in advance and promise to compensate for the public facilities destroyed in the duel, the Magi Council allows it to be solved in this way. Contradiction."
If Adam realizes something, the 'Council of Mage' is probably the governing body of the Mage plane. In this world where individuals have extraordinary power, it is obviously not easy to implement the laws on earth for ordinary people. Mage It seems that they are unwilling to spend time on maintaining balance and upholding justice. It is also normal for a method similar to the 'judicial duel' invented by the ancient Germanic people of the earth?
What is this? Barbarism in civilization? Or a civilization sustained by barbarism?
The driver asked strangely: "Don't duels are not allowed on a desert island? Then what do you use to solve the conflict?"
Quentin sneered: "A duel, only nobles can initiate a duel..." He stopped here, Adam is a commoner, but Randy and Krystal are the same, continue to say It's not good to go down.
But it was enough for the driver to understand that he didn't say anything about his civilian status, but said: "There are no nobles in the Mage continent, only mortals and mages. The only limitation of duels is that mages cannot initiate against mortals." He paused. Then he said: "Offending a mage is a capital offense. Of course, no mortal is so stupid."
After the rest of the way, there was nothing to say, and soon reached the destination.
The Teleportation Array is in a peculiar building with a very scientific and mysterious side. Adam cannot describe its appearance in words, because it seems to be changing all the time.
"Visual deception caused by space-time interference?" Adam can only analyze it like this. What he has seen and heard after coming here is beyond his inherent knowledge, and the incomplete knowledge brought from the earth does not seem to have much use.
The hover car left on its own, Adam and the others walked into the building under the leadership of the mages. It looked very lively here. Many people came in and out every moment. Their unique energy fields were intertwined, making all apprentices feel I felt extreme discomfort.
That is a kind of powerlessness in the face of higher-level life.
When a mage is alone, he can perfectly restrain his own field~IndoMTL.com~ This is a way to avoid useless energy consumption, and it is not a protection for mortals, but when there are multiple mage or low-level mage in a space. Against higher level mages, their field will spread spontaneously, presumably like a unique identity and class proof.
The four mages of Moldo Academy also seemed a little humble after entering the building. From time to time, they stopped and bowed their heads to the high-level mages passing by. The apprentices were even more cautious, lest any behavior would offend the mages and attract Doomsday.
They walked all the way in, and Mage Black said in a low voice: "All the teleportation arrays belong to the second element of the Holy Tower, and are the property of the great Randolph True Spirit Archmage. You must maintain enough humility, We'll see Santa Mage later, remember, don't talk."
This is the first solemn request from Master Black. No one dares to express any doubts. The consequence of disrespect must be death, and no one wants to die.
After walking around a corner and passing through a light curtain, everyone finally saw the teleportation array - it was a regular pattern entirely composed of runes, each of which contained a strong magic power, seemingly floating in In front of him, but it seems illusory and untouchable. The source of ether from the void is continuously injected into the runes. Facing this magic circle, everyone's souls are shaking. Adam is very sure that the explosion of any one of them is enough to destroy the apprentices present. Hundreds of times.
The one who presides over the magic circle is a mage who can't see his face. Like the magic circle, he seems to stand between reality and fantasy: "Moldo element tower? Is it?"
After the four mages bowed, Mage Black said respectfully: "Yes, your respected Master Santa Mage." He took out the complete ether crystal from an unknown place and handed it to the Santa Mage.
