Wizard From Afar

Under the dome covered by white clouds, a black spot of neither too big nor too small shuttles among the mountains of the Yunling Kingdom, slowly approaching in the direction of Cloud Peak.

The huge body shape and the integrated dazzling white city wall and towers make her full of breathtaking oppression force from beginning to end. The up and down streamlines are like cylindrical and cone-like shapes, making this "floating" "The castle in the sky is endowed with majesty, but it also does not lose its elegant beauty.

From a distance, the lower part seems to be an "inverted cone" foundation stone that lifts it from the ground, and the upper part is a small castle fortress—city wall, tower, main Forts, streets, houses... exquisite and exquisite, there are all.

The castle hung alone in the sky, the city soaring above the clouds.

The Horn Fort...is the name of this sky city.

In fact, at the beginning of her birth, she used to have more than one name—for example, the little wizard originally named her "Saint·Zichen·Lasting Moon·Sylvan·White Swan Castle ".

While a certain arrogant is almost laughing, and the little wizard who has been fly into a rage out of humiliation almost really beats his breath, he still insists on calling it "Isaac City" .

The dwarves who were in charge of all the construction hope to call her "New Silver Helmet Mountain". An Eldest Young Lady who is an offshoot of the Imperial Family and always wears black-rimmed glasses thinks the name "Howling Dragon City" There is an imposing manner;

The female count of the Scarlet Blood Castle, who has never spoken, thinks that this Floating Void City should be added with some Byrne characteristics, such as "Banner Fort" or "Knight Fort"; The counts of the Round Table Council presented the opinions of the public.

The two thousand Knights gathered in the Scarlet Blood Fort agreed that only names like "holy sword city" or "Holy Sword City" can be regarded as having "byrne characteristics".

As for the opinion of a certain black hair wizard, it becomes completely irrelevant-the name he named "Lapda", from the very beginning, was rejected by everyone.

No way, in this world, the only person who can really understand the meaning of this name is a blond boy who is also "full of evil taste".

In the end, all parties can only choose the most "compromised" plan...Since everyone doesn't like each other's name, they can only choose a name that everyone doesn't like.

So "Horncastle"-this soil fell into scum, as if the Ancient One moved out ten generations ago, became Byrne ducky, and the Sackland Empire may even be the whole world. The name of a Floating Void City.

After three years of design, R&D, and construction... With the help of the silverhelm mountain dwarves' construction technology and the support of Byrne’s wizard association, then there is assistance from Eboden.

Even later, even the Imperial Capital wizard Academy and Furnace Town in Golovin, headed by the Imperial Family wizard consultant Albert Master, the best alchemists in the entire empire, have also invested in In this vigorous "big project".

The advanced rune technology from Eboden, the alchemical technology from the two "Military Academy" of Imperial Capital Golovin and Furnace Town, from Silverhelm Mountain, the unique mechanical technology of the dwarves...in Byrne Under the premise of spare no effort and spare no effort, it only took two and a half years to complete this "feat" that many people think would never be accomplished.

In Dalton Kander’s almost mean term, the wizards are simple, selfish, and have no collective consciousness. Such a united situation has never happened in the past 30 years, and the next 30 years. There will not be a second time this year.

And such a sky fortress built by gathering the entire Bain Duchy and even half of the empire’s heritage, the first stop of the visit was neither Bain Duchy or a certain territory of an ally, nor was it used to The imperial demonstration instead chose Yun Peak of the Yunling Kingdom.

"We seem to be late."

Standing at the top of the white tower, the black hair wizard squinted and looked at the battlefield in the distance, with a trace of regret in his tone.

"Nonsense, is this unclear?"

Isaac coldly snorted standing behind him did not give his friend and duke face at all: "This is not a giant dragon, It’s not something that can fly with wings;

This is a Floating Void City. When she was designed, she only asked to float in the air. No one expected her to act as an unmanned automatic carriage, or High-speed spaceship and the like!"

"In fact, considering her own pitiful ability to move less than a tortoise, plus our understanding of the wind direction, wind speed, and climate change in the Yunling Kingdom. I don’t know—she hasn’t turned her head down now, it’s already a miracle when her head is planted into large corn!"

Although it is an unceremonious sarcasm and irony, A certain "genius and arrogance" still had an expression of arrogance, looking excitedly at the army alchemists who were busy behind him.

"Of course, since we are friends, I will forgive Loren Junior Brother for your little opinion-after all, this is completely based on my creativity and my theory. In addition to the masterpiece of my design, only my understanding of her can penetrate into the soul;

Because of this, outsiders will have some misunderstandings and unrealistic fantasies, which is normal and reasonable. ."

Looking at Isaac's expression of excitement, Loren had nothing to say but shrugged.

"What is your creativity, your theory, and your design? This is clearly the common result of all of us, okay?!"

The little man busy in the back row The wizard strode over, and his voice seemed very unpleasant-even if he knew the nature of this arrogant man a long time ago, when he heard this, his long golden hair would still instinctively blow up.

"Besides, Floating Void City from the very beginning is my idea. From the blueprint design to the blueprint at the very beginning, I drew it all--you, the guy who got in halfway, at best It can only be regarded as assistance!"

"Assist...ha! Without my "assistance", your Saint·Zichen·Go...Mah, the name is too long...I don’t know if I can fly. !"

"You! You, you, you...you say it again?!"

"Again, you can’t change your stupid'big toy' idea. To what extent, its performance is so poor that it needs to be driven by the Holy Grail of the nine-pointed star-with such a Divine Item, can the tiles fly into the sky, okay?"

"Not to mention Speaking of the ghost name of the Rao Shizi you named-Saint Zichen... Well, I know you were born in the ignorant and superstitious countryside of Lotaire, but you didn't expect that you still have such a strong religious tendency to this day …Ah——! My head!"

"Stop for me, otherwise your face will be the next one!"

Looking at Ai Yin who fly into a rage out of humiliation With Isaac, who was running around, the black hair wizard was sighed in "tacit understanding", and then cautiously walked down the retaining wall of the tower so as not to affect him.

Under the city wall, a certain gray pupil who anticipated this situation has been waiting on the stairs for a long time.

The short hair of the ink blue is scattered, and it is the same as all Fiend hunters. It is only a size smaller gray armor; the sword of Elman hangs on the left waist, and the gun of Dragon Knight is on the back. Behind his right shoulder-insisting that there is something "maverick", there is only a gray scarf around the neck.

"How is your preparation?" Although it is a question, the tone of the black hair wizard is quite affirmative: "There is at most a quarter of an hour."

"No need It’s a quarter of an hour, anytime.” Lu Sien’s eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of mature gazes that do not match the immature face:

“The situation has been roughly understood-the rebels besieged the city, the king’s army is defending the city, and there are still nearby With a large number of Corruptors infested, coupled with a strong void response from the direction of the Palace of Kings, the real murderer behind this civil war may already be unable to wait and prepare to do it myself."

"I am ready. It's... it can't escape." The gray-eyed boy had a calm tone, his eyes focused on the battlefield that was about to arrive in the distance.

The black hair wizard glanced meaningfully, looking at him up and down.

"What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, just a little surprised." Loren chuckled and looked away: "You three years ago... you wouldn't be before the start of the war. It’s so calm—no, it’s too euphemistic to say it. It should be a posture of being brave and ready to go to justice anytime, anywhere!"

"Ai, is it..." Scratching his head, Luz Ensorry laughed:

"People always become; in fact, Isaac, and Ain, they have changed a lot, including you too-they are no longer who they were three years ago. "

"Probably only me, because I have always left you to perform tasks in the past three years, so it seems more obvious, right?"

Looking like three years ago The black hair wizard who looks a little more mature and calmer, the gray pupil opened the mouth and said with some emotion.

Unconsciously, it has been three years...

That early morning with heavy snow, it seemed to be the same as yesterday.

"Yes, now we, Lu Sien, are already famous, resounding through the wings of the sky of half an empire-no longer the passionate young man who is easy to boil and can't wait to prove himself. Now."

Raised eyebrows, the black hair wizard who deliberately pretended not to understand showed a somewhat sly expression: "The only thing that will never change, may be your size."

"..." Lucien.

"Oh...By the way, I remember the last time I saw Grand Duke Almans, his height didn't seem to have changed much from three years ago." The black hair wizard's smile was little by Little became unabashed:

"is it possible that the saying "Little Elman" is really true? Lucien, your father, the former Duke of Elman probably has How tall is it?"

"Uh...father...I remember he seems to be half or one head taller than his brother now...probably?"

The way of the face full of black lines Stern, there is no idea of ​​continuing this conversation.

"Speaking...Who is Hunter Fiend who is in charge of the Cloud Peak surveillance mission?"

Aware of the embarrassment of his friend, Loren missed the opportunity to change the topic.

"Carl Colin, the eyeliner that the night watchman put in us; there is also the chief of the third recruit, Martin Neilton."

"I originally thought When it comes to the Yunling Civil War, it is necessary for the empire to understand the seriousness of the problem. In addition, allowing the recruits of the extraordinary natural talent to get in touch with the actual combat as soon as possible under the cover of the veterans can also improve their strength and experience."

Looking steadily forward at the burning palace of the kings in the distance, Lu Sien frowned slightly: "But so far, we have not received any information from them."

"No Is it a problem?"

"There should be no-according to the original plan, the mission deadline is four days left; and Yun Peak's siege broke out early, and they had no chance to sneak into the city. "The gray pupil boy shook his head, speculated a little worried:

"Should I still lie in ambush somewhere outside the city, waiting for orders?"

Are you outside the city... Loren looked thoughtful of nodded.

Before coming, Dalton mentor mentioned this recruit once-only in terms of spell studies and ancient rune, his innate talent must even surpass himself; not surprisingly, he will be able to become a recruit in twenty years. Peak spell Master who is proficient in battle spells and advanced alchemy.

And Karl Colin is not only the eyeliner of Rutte Infinite, but also the most elite veteran of Fiend Legion hunting;

Such a combination of "one old and one young" , Even in Wings of the Sky, it is the strongest squad in the "top battle strength configuration". What's wrong with It shouldn't be?

"Master Loren, can you ask a question?"

The gray pupil asked abruptly.

Loren froze for a moment.

"Why...you must insist on taking the'horn fort' to Cloud Peak?" Lu Sien's expression was very confused: "Although she looks like a fortress, she doesn't actually have any combat capability. ; Even as the commander of the battle, the vehicle should be located in the rear instead of directly over the battlefield."

"even more how According to Isaac, the'horn fort' is not in the true sense. "Floating Void City", at best, is just an experimental sample; once there is any accident, we will not even have time to escape."

"This kind of one does not have any battle strength and cannot cause any real threat; Once destroyed, there will be no magic cultivator recovery, and even an absolutely safe sky fortress...what is the meaning of ending this civil war in the Yunling Kingdom?"

"This...mainly Two reasons."

"Two reasons?"

"First of all...Although the existence of the Horn Fort is no longer a secret, this is still her first time in this The world shows itself-the unknown existence is the greatest fear." Loren explained: "And I will use this fear to end the civil war in the Yunling Kingdom at one time!"

"Anyway, Yun The importance of the Ling Kingdom to Byrne and even the Empire is self-evident-the most important ore producing area, the only mithril producing area, with a large number of fortresses and abundant troops... Such neighbors, even if they are related to us No matter how they are not in harmony, they can’t be allowed to stand in the enemy’s camp."

"Hmm..." The gray-pupil youth seems to be nodded, his expression is still confused; if you say that you and San today What has in common a year ago is that it still can’t keep up with Loren’s brain circuits:

"This is just one, what about the other?"

"The other one." Loren shrugged Shrugging, laughing and looking towards the cloud Peak below:

"I just think that after so long, it is necessary to use a slightly more focused approach to tell the guys who almost forgot about me We say..."

"I'm back again."
