my age of magic

Chapter 906 8. Dylan Hurstley
The back garden of the Duke of Mensa Manor was built on a cliff, where the view is very wide, and you can see the whole picture of the sea area north of Ilinas City.

Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, several petrels shuttled back and forth on the cliff. They built their nests under some raised rocks, which can protect them from the storm.

There is a closed beach under the cliff, and the steep cliffs on both sides stretch into the sea. If you want to enter this beach by land, you must climb over this steep cliff.

There is no soft white sand on this beach. The Duke of Mensa built a huge military port dock here, and hundreds of five-masted sailing ships and seven-masted sailing ships are moored quietly in the port.

The Duke of Mensa made use of the mountains stretching into the sea, and continued to extend into the sea, building two giant seawalls with a length of more than ten kilometers. an area of ​​several square kilometers.

The seawall is finally closed together in the sea, like two tightly clenched fists, and between the two fists is a channel less than 200 meters wide, which can ensure that the giant sailboats in the military port can enter and exit freely.A sentry post and a fort were built on the two fists, and there was a black-painted magic cannon on each top of the sentry post.

If you don't look down from the cliff, it is difficult to peek into the secrets of the military port, because this section of the coastline is completely wrapped by the sea wall, and it is impossible for fishing boats to see the scenery inside the sea wall.

Unless it is a bird flying in the sky, no one knows how many large sailing ships are moored in this military port.

The waiter waited quietly in the elevator, and I took Ying Li to board the elevator built outside the cliff—on the cliff.

The entire elevator is made of oak wood squares, all the seams are tightly connected with rivets, and a thick layer of raw varnish is applied on the oak surface. The construction style is very rough. Through the elevator cabin We can clearly see the huge ropes rolling slowly on the pulleys, and we descend from the high cliffs a little bit.

"Squeak... squeak..."

There was a dry rubbing sound from the elevator, which seemed to be due to the fact that the pulley blocks had not been lubricated for many years, which made me a little worried that the elevator would fall directly from the top of the cliff during the ascent and descent.

However, from the eyes of the waiter, it can be seen that the elevator is operating normally. He looked at the sea in the distance with a calm expression, without any emotional fluctuations, which made me feel a little more at ease.

Finally landed smoothly, walked out of the lift chamber, and the heart hanging in the throat was considered to have returned to its original place.

The waiter led us out of the elevator, and only then did I see the power part of the elevator. There was a huge winch at the bottom of the cliff, and thirteen bison covered with blue scales were tied to a huge millstone. , constantly pushing the grinding disc to rotate, and driving the elevator to reciprocate up and down.

Unexpectedly, such a huge military port was built on such a coastline surrounded by mountains. The coastline has been completely built into a deep-water port by boulders, and the beach is paved with flat ground. One side was built as a barracks, and the other side was built as a material warehouse.

Seeing such a huge fleet, I clearly realized that this should be the root of the Mensa family's foothold in Emerald Bay.

Walking out of the elevator, we were not interrogated, which is quite different from the North Wind Army.

I remember that when we entered the Beifeng Legion Constructed Knights’ garrison in the airport town, even under the leadership of the knight commander, we still accepted the guard’s interrogation. Obviously, this military port is far more important than that kind of temporary garrison, but the guards But turned a blind eye to us.

Passing through the very flat square and walking a long way along the pier, a huge teleportation circle appeared in my sight. It turned out to be a six-pointed star-shaped building built of stones. The color of the metal and the complicated textures of those gaps build a huge magic circle. The strong magic atmosphere leaks out from the teleportation circle, and those mana elements diffuse into the surrounding air, and evaporate in the air in an instant.

Sure enough, there were some problems with this portal.

It seems that during the operation, there is an abnormal situation of mana overflowing, which is likely to cause the portal to have insufficient mana endurance during the transmission process, causing the portal to become extremely unstable. Such a portal, when teleporting The process is extremely dangerous, and it is easy for people to get lost in the space rift.

The construction of this teleportation array is very unique, half of it is built on the port pier, and half is built in the sea.

The teleportation array is very magnificent. Although the magic light curtain on the side of the pier is a bit distorted, you can vaguely imagine what it looks like when it is in normal operation. It seems to be a giant city gate ten meters high. I guess Even a large catapult can pass through this portal with ease.

"The teleportation array of Mensa's family is really magnificent!" Standing behind Ying Li, Helena said with emotion.

"Such a portal needs expensive magic crystals to keep it running!" Becky looked up at the teleportation array in shock.

Yingli standing next to me did not go directly to the teleportation array, but walked around the teleportation array. She stood by the guardrail on the pier, looking into the sea, her eyes were full of surprise: "Come and see , this is a double-sided teleportation array, and there is a teleportation gate on the side facing the sea!"

I walked over curiously, stood beside Ying Li, and leaned towards the sea. Sure enough, I saw that the teleportation gate on the other side of the teleportation array was actually built in the sea.

"Why do you think Duke Mensa built the portal in the sea?" Helena asked, staring at the portal in the sea with big beautiful eyes.

"Do you even need to ask? Of course it's because of those warships." Becky reached out her hands to wrap her green algae-colored curly hair, which was blown by the sea wind, and tied it up, revealing a section of her snow-white neck.

At this time, Noah ran out from the teleportation array and shouted from a distance: "Hey, Jijia, you are back so early? I thought you would come after noon!"

The young waiter trotted all the way, following behind Noah, it seemed that it was Noah who he ran to notify.

I briefly told Noah what happened in the morning, Noah shrugged his shoulders slightly, leaned on the stone pillar by the pier, and told me about his half-brother, he said: " That boy Jacques is still a bit talented. He has an extraordinary understanding of astrology and navigation, but he is a little timid. After graduating from the Junior Warrior Academy, his father originally planned to let him work in the Vashki plane. After a few years of training in Galapagos City, you can become a captain smoothly."

He spread his hands, pointed to those three-masted sailing ships and said: "Those ships, if Jacques can persevere, he may become the first captain in our generation, and he will also be the youngest captain. "

Afterwards, he showed a slightly regretful expression, and said: "It's just that I didn't expect that Vashki would be affected by the outbreak of the plane war. He was so scared that he ran back to Ilinas city from Galapagos city overnight. This incident made my father very angry. An opportunity that was not easy to obtain was wasted by him in vain. It is said that after returning to Ilinas City, the whole person became very decadent."

Noah said: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. I didn't expect to be addicted to gambling this time."

Noah looked a little regretful, and continued to say to me: "To be honest, although the Mensa family is the administrator of the Palestina Province, in order to protect other nobles, it is impossible for me and Louis to be against those laws and regulations. Turn a deaf ear, we have to follow the rules for many things.”

The power holders of each province do not seem to have that stable power in their hands, and it seems that the same is true for the Mensa family.

Noah rubbed his forehead lightly, and then said to me: "Oh, according to what Louis said, there should be some things that we have to do better than other nobles, because those rules are set by us, of course we Maintain as much as possible."

Louis is a very ambitious person. He wants to establish a reverence for the law in the hearts of the Palestine people. He really has some leadership qualities!

I said, "However, this matter involves the Black Arts Priory, will it be a bit troublesome?"

Noah patted his head in some pain, and said: "Well, it seems that the people from the Black Magic Priory intend to infiltrate the family, and the breakthrough point they found is Jacques. It seems that they treat the members of the family very much. learn."

He turned his head and said to me: "The Magic Guild may not necessarily buy our family's account, those magicians are very difficult to deal with."

Then he added: "I'm afraid Harry is going to be unlucky. He was taken away by the Magic Guild's law enforcement team. It's hard to get good fruit."

I poked my head and glanced at the sea water at my feet, which looked like a piece of emerald green, and it was bottomless. I think the name of Emerald Bay came from the color of the sea water.

I think even if Harry passed the level of the Magic Guild, the Mensa family would not let him go easily.

"I guess that guy is just a peripheral member of the Black Arts Priory." I said.

Yingli, Helena, and Becky walked along the pier, admiring the sailboats that were docked. When the three of them stood far below those sailboats, I really felt how huge those sailboats were. .

Noah asked me curiously: "Jijia, you said that 'Devil's Blood' is really so powerful that it can corrupt a person's soul?"

I thought about it, and asked him with a smile, "It's about the same. Would you like to try it and feel it? Although it's rare and not common in the market, I still have channels to get some."

Noah immediately shook his head like a rattle: "Forget it, I don't have such a strong curiosity. But if you give me the 'magic catalyst' potion, I can barely consider it."

The two of us sat on the pier together, looking out over this peaceful emerald bay.

After a while, Noah said again: "Oh, by the way, you must have no idea who I saw today!"

He didn't really want me to guess, so he said the answer directly: "Senior Dylan."

I stared at Noah blankly, not knowing who this senior Dylan was.

Noah stared at me with wide eyes and asked, "Dylan Hurstley! Oh, don't you know him?"

I turned to him and asked, "Why, is he famous?"

Noah said: "Of course, at least within the scope of our academy, he can be considered a celebrity!"

I wondered, "Why haven't I heard of it?"

Noah rolled his eyes upwards and said, "Don't you pay attention to Starry Sky Society at all?"

I thought about it carefully, and I really didn't pay much attention to the information of the Starry Sky Academy.

So I said, "I knew this club was very mysterious. Why... oh, don't tell me that Dylan Hurstley is a member of our academy's Starry Sky Society. Where did you meet him?"

Noah saw that I was asking about the idea, and said the answer that had been held in his heart for a long time: "It's here!"

He asked me again, "Isn't it a coincidence?"

Before I could answer, he said, "I also just found out that Senior Dylan was invited by my father to help us maintain some of these magic teleportation arrays."

After finishing speaking, he rubbed his hands and said to me, "Go, I'll take you to meet him!"

I waved to Ying Li in the distance, and signaled to her, I will go to the teleportation array to have a look.

Obviously Yingli doesn't have such a strong curiosity, she would rather stand on the pier and enjoy the sea breeze than watching the teleportation array.

So he just waved to me and didn't come over.

Inside the teleportation array is the central system of the portal. The most important magic pattern array is set in the center of the teleportation array. This is also the place where the magic spar is placed. I followed Noah into the interior of the teleportation array and saw that it was full of There are countless magic rune boards on the wall. The huge stone room looks like a maze. The runes on the wall are all things that I can't understand.

After walking a short distance along the maze-like corridor, you will enter a room. In the center of this room is a magic pedestal with a magic crystal inlaid on it.

Noah told me that there are 27 magic bases like this in the entire teleportation array. If you want to open the teleportation array, all 27 magic bases need to be opened.

Noah took me to continue walking inside. These rooms are not too far apart. When we reached the seventh room, we saw a magician wearing a magic robe squatting on the ground, holding a A bottle of metal solution is being carefully poured into the veins of the stone cracks on the ground.

The magic red copper was originally poured into those stone cracks, and these magic red copper formed countless runes, but some places were worn out and needed to be repaired, which was considered delicate work.

The molten metal flowed into the crevices of the stone, immediately forming a new coating on the surface of the magic red copper. After a few seconds, the flow of mana on these runes became much smoother.
