Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 320 Morton Kingdom
Gongsun Ce had a sneer when he spoke, not at all glib in front of the laboratory.

Mo Yuankai opened a can of Coke, and threw another can to his younger brother: "Where is the abnormality?"

Gongsun Ce randomly drew a card, the Jack of Clubs, which was a well-known knight in Morton's legend.

"How would you rate the knight Orianna?"

"Sincere, kind, responsible and altruistic, she is a rare good girl these days." Mo Yuankai said, "But she is too kind, and she is so well protected that she lacks social experience."

"That's right, brother. Orianna is a good girl, and maybe a good knight—but she is by no means a good diplomat. I believe there are countless people in Morton Kingdom who are more suitable for negotiating tasks than her, but in the end it is She came to us." Gongsun Ce threw the card into the hands of his friend, "What does this mean?"

"Please, don't ask me."

"The first possibility is that Morton's people have figured out your temper and specially sent this sentimental girl to invite you."

Mo Yuankai smiled and shook his head: "You all know that I agreed to the mission because she said it was related to Morton's national security."

"The second possibility is that Orianna's arrival is the result of a compromise after a multi-party game. The kingdom has different opinions on this matter. Some people are looking forward to her making a fool of herself, and hoping that this matter will not be negotiated!"

Mo Yuankai nodded slowly, and Gongsun Ce drew the second card, the ace of spades, the ace.

"The second question. The kingdom not only allowed me to follow, but even agreed to bring the machine god components. Big brother, you are so wise and mighty that you can destroy a city by yourself. Little brother, although I am inferior, it is not a big deal to demolish a few buildings .They can actually agree to these demands, don’t citizens’ safety be considered? Why?”

Mo Yuankai took the trump card and said with a smile, "I have confidence."

"That's right, the Morton Kingdom has plenty of self-confidence. We don't care whether this self-confidence comes from weapons, technology, or some supernatural power that you and I don't know. In short, they believe that even if you and I go together, they will have a way to control us... "

Gongsun Ce shook out the third card, held it between his fingers, and slowly turned it over.Club K, king.

"A force with such self-confidence has encountered problems that it cannot solve by itself. The so-called 'sacred fire armor' has such an impact that they will even travel thousands of miles to the capital of the sky to find you. At the same time, the kingdom's internal solution to this matter Full of differences..." He said word by word, "Do you think this matter is tricky?"

"Not bad, Ah Ce, I thought you really wanted to play with all your heart."

"Just kidding, selfishness is selfishness and work is work. I should think about it." Gongsun Ce drank half a can of Coke in one gulp, "The water is very deep, brother, stop thinking about it?"

"Oliana doesn't seem to be lying. We always have to look at the situation before deciding whether to help." Mo Yuankai grabbed his shoulder, "I know the water is deep! That's why I brought you along."

"Dou, what's the use of bringing a clown, it's better to build a machine god No. [-] machine."

"First of all, I'm not as good at using my brain as you are. I couldn't think of those words just now."

Mo Yuankai put the three cards back into the deck, searched for a long time, and picked out the two cards with the most complicated picture.One in color and one in black and white, both of which are oil-painted clowns smiling cheerfully.

"Secondly, the joker card has two translations. Some people call him the clown..."

Mo Yuankai put down the black and white poker, leaving only the colored one in his hand.

"The other group of people call him Ace."

He threw the colorful joker to his younger brother, and said peacefully, "I don't know how you called it, Ah Ce. I only know that Mech God has never been my trump card, but you are."

"Brother, isn't it embarrassing to say such animation-style lines all day?" Gongsun Ce took back the poker and scratched his head, "Thank you for encouraging us to change the subject, okay?"

Mo Yuankai turned off the sound barrier: "You see, you are like this. If you are not confident, you will not be able to catch up with girls."

"Come on, you who failed to chase girls 50 times are ashamed to say this."

Mo Yuankai pointed at his younger brother angrily: "That's why you didn't help me back then!"

"I'll help you a ghost, it's useless! Other girls don't like you, no matter how confident you are."

Gongsun Ce put the deck of cards back into his pocket and took out a lighter.He caught fire, but the flame didn't stay in place, but floated up from the nozzle of the lighter and flew towards the direction of the captain's room.The people in the white coats made gadgets and convenient props for performing magic tricks.

Gongsun Ce pushed down his glasses: "Speaking of which, this gentleman has been silent for so long, is it because he is too confident?"

"I'm very sorry, gentlemen. Please allow me to refute my impoliteness: I really didn't find a suitable opportunity to appear. And I think the two of you have already noticed it, so it is inconvenient to interrupt the conversation halfway."

The door of the captain's cabin opened, and a blond man with a bright smile walked out, holding the flame with his hand.Gongsun Ce was slightly surprised: this person has a standard Western face, wearing a white suit, handsome and handsome with blond hair and blue eyes, just looking at his face can be said to be quite in line with the stereotype of Prince Charming...

But when Prince Charming is over 10 meters tall, this first impression has to be corrected a little.The cabin of the Sonic Feather Moth is as spacious as a VIP reception room, with less than [-] seats, unlike ordinary airliners that are crowded with seats.But even so, when this man appeared, he brought an illusion of "shrinking space". His broad and strong arms made Gongsun Ce have no doubt that this man could kill a cow with one punch. It is better than a double-door refrigerator, like a city wall.

"Good evening, gentlemen. I am the Phantom Knight of the Morton Royal Knights, the fifth seat of the Star Conference, Rakel Lloyd." The tall Rakel saluted the two, "Once again, due to the previous faux pas And I apologize, I wanted to wait for the knight Orianna to introduce me, but..."

Mo Yuankai and Gongsun Ce looked at the bathroom, showing awkward yet polite smiles.

"Understandable, understandable."

They shook hands with Raquel respectively and introduced themselves.Gongsun Ce patted Raquel's forearm: "Do you usually exercise?"

"Every day!" Raquel said with a hearty smile, "Although I was born tall, exercise is still indispensable the day after tomorrow. Is Mr. Gongsun interested in fitness? The fitness facilities in the Knights are all available, I am very happy Experience the joy of exercising with you."

"No thank you!" Gongsun Ce waved his hands again and again, "If I'm a dead house, I'll be involved in your gym business."

"Oh! Mr. Gongsun also likes animation?" Raquel was very surprised.

Gongsun Ce was taken aback: "What is it called?"

"To tell you the truth, I am also an animation fan. I often watch idol animations and light novel adaptations in my spare time... I thought you were wearing a special battle suit, but it turned out to be cosplay. Could it be imitating the recently popular aliens? The protagonist of the world animation?"

It's not even cosplay, it's just a personal hobby... It's hard to say this now!

"Ahahaha, Mr. Gongsun, I don't really like that kind of thing." Gongsun Ce ran to the back of the eldest brother's seat, "Brother, the idea is tough, this person is probably the same type of strong as you!"

"It's better to be serious, Mr. Raquel is just joking when he chats with you." Mo Yuankai made a gesture of invitation, and the knight Raquel sat down with a smile, occupying the seat opposite them, "Very Nice to meet you, Mr. Rakel. With all due respect, you seem more suitable for the job of a diplomat than Miss Orianna."

"It's true, the knight Orianna is still inexperienced in this area." Raquel said calmly, "But we have always believed that sincerity is more respect than all beautiful words. One person went to send an invitation to meet the two of you face to face. A knight of communication..."

Raquel spread out his right hand, and the cluster of flames was still burning in his palm, burning his wide palm into a cloud of fuzzy wax oil.

"It's more sincere than a eloquent wax figure."

Raquel blew out the flames, and the melted wax gradually returned to his skin.Seeing this scene, Gongsun Ce immediately understood what the other party said, but this tall knight is a lifelike wax figure!

He guessed that the other party's main body might still be in a distant foreign country, and this wax figure had the ability similar to a clone.But this is too strange, how can there be superpowers with such a wide range of abilities?Unless it's a supernatural power that he doesn't know about... The "psychic power" and "manifestation" that big brother mentioned before?Or some kind of special technology?

Gongsun Ce remained calm on the surface, but he began to think in his heart.Raquel seemed to have noticed his contemplation, and turned to say: "Actually, I came here just to introduce the inner society of our kingdom to you two. This will involve quite a lot of information and examples, but First of all, I want to ask the two of you to sign the document first."

Raquel took out a thick stack of documents: "This is the permission document for using supernatural power in Superbia. The notary is me and the knight Orianna. If the two want to use their superpowers in the king's capital, this The signing of the document is necessary."

Gongsun Ce asked provocatively, "What will you do to me if I don't sign?"

"We won't do anything." The good-tempered Raquel was not angry at all, "but you will not be able to use your ability. It is not a restriction in the legal sense, but an 'unusable' in the practical sense."

Gongsun Ce narrowed his eyes, startled by his guess.

"...you have made a magic barrier in the capital?"

"This is a more common and easy-to-understand statement." Rakel nodded, "As you said, this 'enchantment' has a history of more than a thousand years, and it has been protecting the lives of the people in the capital since its successful construction. Be safe. I am very aware that it is difficult to convince the gentlemen of this seemingly absurd statement, so I plan to introduce the history and the past of the kingdom and the law of impermanence to the two of you. Mr. Mo, do you see...? "

Mo Yuankai took the document, flipped through it roughly, and said, "Let me read the content of the document first, can you please briefly introduce the law of impermanence for Ah Ce?"

"We are happy to help."

Raquel and Gongsun Ce talked about the basic knowledge about the inner world. The door of the bathroom opened at this time, and the knight Orianna walked out of it, looking not very good.After seeing the scene in the cabin, she let out a small exclamation, hurriedly sat down opposite Mo Yuankai, and said guiltily, "I'm very sorry..."

Mo Yuankai sighed silently in his heart, feeling quite worried about the knight's future.

They are also the elites of the knight order, and they are also members of the top-level "Star Conference".Raquel responded well to A Ce's teasing and provocation, and she got closer to them with just a few words; while Orianna had to go to the bathroom to take shelter whenever she saw the ugly plane take off, and even more so when negotiating. It can't even control the dominance.How can such a girl serve as a high-level knight order?No matter how good the atmosphere in the organization is, this performance is extremely difficult to convince.

Maybe I should give her some encouragement, a chance to show her ability, even if it is just to talk about the knowledge of the Morton Kingdom for a layman like him, it is better than just watching and letting Rakel take full responsibility.

"It's okay, Miss Orianna." Mo Yuankai smiled encouragingly at her, "I have a basic understanding of the law of impermanence, can you please introduce me to the information about this document and the kingdom?"

"Ah, of course, there is no problem!" Orianna nodded again and again, "Let's start with the history of the kingdom..."

Following Orianna's explanation, a heavy historical picture unfolded in front of Mo Yuankai's eyes. The more he listened, the more serious he became, and the more he listened, the more he felt an inexplicable worry.

·
The Kingdom of Morton is located in the southern hemisphere, west of the Lost Sea and south of Usters. It is a constitutional monarchy established on the island of Albion.As of the year 2006 in the Eternal Light Calendar, the total population of the kingdom has exceeded 2 million, and its capital, Superbia, has a resident population of more than 200 million, making it a giant city even larger than the capital of the sky.

Like all nations, the history of the Morton Kingdom has a rich mythology - namely, the great influence of the dragon phenomenon - which is inseparable from its strict geographical location.

The "Confused Sea" where Morton is located is a sea area filled with thick fog all year round. It is said that this is a wide-ranging giant dragon landform brought about by the "Ghost Disaster" that once appeared on the sea.This sea area has been an unavoidable problem in the history of navigation since ancient times, because the thick fog not only brings difficulties in distinguishing directions, but also brings various strange undead, legends of sea monsters, and even dragon disasters that come without warning.

The ancient ancestors looked at the ocean for many years. When they saw the evil dragon appearing from the fog and rushing to the island, their hearts were full of despair.

The threat of Albion Island does not only come from overseas, but also hidden dangers in the mountains in the northern part of the island: crystal-like minerals grow wantonly in the mountains, creating countless translucent and magnificent peaks. The sharp sword is the most representative dragon landform on Albion Island.The mages of the Wang Family Mage Academy believe that it is most likely the giant dragon landform brought about by another major dragon disaster "Liu Li Disaster", because not only all kinds of extremely aggressive and abnormal beasts live in the crystal mountain, but also dragons occasionally appear .

Therefore, the ancient ancestors on the island were quite broken. They not only looked at the ocean all the time, but also had to be alert to the mountains behind them.As long as one side is out of the Dragon Calamity Island, half of the breath will be gone. If the dragons on both sides come by coincidence, then the big guy will give up in ten percent of his life.

Such days lasted until the 196th year of the Yongguang calendar, and the disaster of the nether world once again descended on the coast of Morton...

·
"Wait a moment, wait a moment, Miss Orianna, let me interrupt first."

Mo Yuankai sorted out the information he got, and felt a headache: "How did Morton's ancestors...survive in such a terrifying environment?"

Mo Yuankai had investigated the phenomenon of giant dragons in various countries before, and Zero Island was tossed into what it is now by the Netherlight Disaster, which left a deep impression on him.But Zero Island also suffered that one major disaster, and Morton suffered twice before and after the so-called major dragon disaster!

It's unreasonable that this place can develop civilization. If people can't survive, where does civilization come from?

Orianna clasped her hands in front of her chest, and said seriously: "It must be the souls of the ancestors who protected the kind people and made them create miracles with the tenacity of life!"

"Don't you think you're a little too idealistic?" Gongsun Ce, who was listening, said, "Does your next sentence mean that Morton's alias is the Kingdom of Light, and everyone can cross their hands and beat the dragon with light skills?"

"?" Orianna didn't understand, and Rakel, who understood the stalk, couldn't help laughing.

"You are very humorous, Mr. Gongsun. Another more realistic reason is that the dragon disaster also brought knowledge and wealth to the people of Albion Island. Although the people at that time had not yet mastered the law of impermanence, the ancestors had studied Another technique that goes hand-in-hand with...

A technology called Mind Arming. "

Gongsun Ce didn't respond to these words, but Mo Yuankai knew the meaning.Almost every official Genesis Envoy has its own mental arm, and the advanced arm is even equivalent to the second ability.

Now the knight said that the technology of mind arming came from the Kingdom of Morton... Doesn't that mean that they can create armaments when there is no law of impermanence?

Mo Yuankai pondered: "I always thought that all technologies related to impermanence came from the empire."

"No one can deny the pioneering position of the Eternal Light Empire in the development of this technology, but creation does not mean everything that follows." Orianna's tone was full of pride, "Relying on the power of the mind, the kingdom The ancestors survived under the threat of the evil dragon. And in the 196th year of the Eternal Light Calendar, when the Nether disaster struck, the greatest figure in the history of the country also showed his prowess. He is King Morton, the Kingdom of Morton The founder of the country, the hero who defeated the evil dragon."

·
In the 196th year of the Yongguang calendar, the mist has penetrated every inch of land on the island.The sages peeked at the secrets of heaven in their dreams, and the terrible disaster of the netherworld is about to come.

People on Albion Island are in panic, but the sea of ​​mist is ahead, and the crystal mountain is backward. People living on the island have nowhere to escape.They are determined to fight to the death, gather all the resources and strength of the whole island, and create weapons that can defeat the evil dragon.Therefore, the respected old people on the island gathered together, and the rulers of various tribes jointly made a promise: whoever can forge the long sword that kills the dragon will be the ruler of all people on the island.

Morton, a highly skilled blacksmith, stepped forward and assumed responsibility.Morton learned wisdom from the old man by the sea, and practiced martial arts from the warriors in the wilderness.He went to the mountains of his hometown alone, and obtained precious materials in the deepest part of the crystal mountain, thus creating an extremely powerful holy sword.

With the holy sword, Morton fought side by side with his companions, teachers and the people, repelling the attacking ghost dragon together.People embrace him as king one after another, and his descendants will rule the kingdom on the island from generation to generation.

But King Morton has a long-term view and knows that power must never be in the hands of one person forever, because brave fathers will also have weak sons, and wise kings will also have foolish princes.So when he was old, the king went to the mountains again, and forged seven armors, a crown, and a staff.

King Morton entrusted the armor to the seven warriors of the plain, and named them the royal knights; he entrusted the staff to the old man on the coast, and named him the royal mage.In the end, he entrusted the crown to his descendants, and entrusted the holy sword that repelled the dragon to the most kind and purest of the seven knights.Because power must be in the hands of the righteous in order to protect the kingdom.

King Morton passed away with peace of mind. His power was inherited by the royal family, knights, and mages respectively. He knew that only by working together can the country continue.In fact, as he expected, people worked together to strengthen the country on the island.But the dragon died, and the mist remained.The influence of the dragon phenomenon has long lingered on the island of Albion, and the fledgling kingdom has been plagued by wild beasts and ghosts.In order to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the kingdom, the elites of the kingdom made every effort, and finally succeeded in building an unprecedented giant barrier in the 660th year of the Yongguang calendar.

This enchantment seals most of the supernatural powers on the other side of the kingdom, allowing people to live a stable life.From then on, the Morton Kingdom enjoyed peace through singing and dancing, and everything finally became peaceful.

·
"Isn't King Morton also known as the Holy Sword Envoy of the Stars?" Gongsun Ce said, "No malice. Don't you think the legend of your country's founding is a bit...outrageous?"

Orianna retorted angrily: "Really? I think our history is more real than the story of Emperor Lingyang!"

Mo Yuankai was not in a hurry to speak, he quietly pondered over a large amount of information, compared and analyzed it with the information he had previously investigated.He quickly came to the conclusion that the two knights were not lying.Because Onowell had given him information about the enchantment before leaving, this legend is also a story familiar to the locals.

"I understand. Miss Orianna, the so-called 'unusable ability' is the function of the enchantment you mentioned last?"

"As you said, Mr. Mo." Orianna acted very naturally, "The enchantment has the strongest effect in the king. It can not only restrict all unauthorized persons from using power, but also record every Where and when the ability is used."

It comes with the effect of anti-magic, and at the same time, it also adopts a very precise surveillance on the person who gets permission... This is indeed safe, and he wants to understand where the other party's confidence comes from.

"What's the name of this enchantment?" Gongsun Ce asked.

"I'm sorry that it's inconvenient for us to reveal too much, because too much information about the inner world will weaken the security." Larkai smiled, "But it's okay to just say a name. We call it' Shadow Mist City'..."

"This enchantment is right under your feet."

The superpowers reacted and walked towards the window at the same time.They looked through the window, their eyes penetrated the dark night, and under the guidance of the lights, they cast their eyes on the ocean below and the land in the ocean.

"Wow..." Gongsun Ce muttered to himself.

He saw a city, a city even bigger than the capital of the sky.It is built in the middle of the cross-shaped Albion Island, built inside a turbulent river.

This is a city standing in the water!The river that should have passed directly through the city was diverted under the power of the people, wrapping the city like a ribbon, guarding it outside the city wall, and becoming a natural moat.A huge amount of white stones formed the outer wall of the city. Seven arches were opened above the city wall. Above each arch was a magnificent long sword phantom hanging, which was clearly visible in the sky, as if to deter outsiders. , It is also the protection of the people in the city.

Going over the high wall and looking into the city, what you see are brick houses with red roofs and brown walls, and churches with blue domes. Next to the simple white buildings are newly built modern high-rise buildings. Seven tall towers are like fairy tales. The simple and simple bell towers are evenly distributed in the circular city, and in the middle of the city is a magnificent castle as pure as snow!
"Welcome to Superbia."

The elegant welcome of the knights sounded behind him, but Gongsun Ce didn't notice it.He stared intently at the city he was about to arrive at, which looked like a pearl in the water.Sophisticated, ornate, ancient and glorious.

But vaguely, he felt an inexplicable kindness in front of this strange city.His heart was filled with inexplicable pulsations, filled with the joy of reunion after a long absence, as if someone was calling him...

It was as if the city itself was waiting for his arrival.

·
"Welcome, welcome. Welcome to Superbia!"

And at this very moment, in a dimly lit room in the capital, there was a person cheering and celebrating their arrival.

"Is there anything to be happy about? There are not one person but two people here. Your plan went wrong at the very beginning. Now, we have to correct it first..."

The friend stood behind him and spoke coldly.His pale palms waved violently, and he uttered a sung retort in an eerie tone.

"No! No! This is a side event? This is a god-sent opportunity!"

Pale palms grabbed the pen and quickly wrote lines of text on the parchment.The friend looked sideways, and suddenly understood in his heart.

"Is that so... As expected of you, it's a suitable and perfect solution. Start directing the show now?"

"The stage is complete, the props are sufficient, the script has already been created, and all the actors are entering the stage at this moment. When will my best friend still want to wait?"

Friends clapped their hands lightly: "Wait until the eve of the opening, the applause resounds like thunder."

"Hahaha, hahahaha! You are really my best friend!"

There was only one person in the room clapping, but the applause was as loud as thousands of people moving together, like thunder and more like a shower.The pale palm dropped the last line of text, and then stopped writing.The pale-faced director stood up amidst the applause, turned around in place, shook his sleeves, laughed and sang, melodiously:

"When there is, heroes and heroes take turns appearing on the stage; wait and see, the doubts in history have disappeared; let me ask, who is good and who is evil, who is loyal and who is traitor? Please sit down and watch coldly, a good show will begin!"
