Chapter 707 - core
“How does it feel horrible here,” said Xida, holding her chest with both hands. After crossing a short corridor, everyone is now riding a cube to the core of Laputa.
But the core of the sky city is completely different from the garden above, not as sunny and full of vitality as the building above. It is a huge space with dim light. The whole space is very empty, with only a few cubic stones carved with patterns suspended in the space.
In addition, the walls around the entire space are made of such stones, arranged neatly. Just like the printing plates arranged in movable type printing. There are only one or two square gaps in individual places. The size and shape of the gap should be left after the stones suspended in the center of the space fly out.
The cube under their feet went all the way down until they reached a corner at the bottom of the space before stopping. Ryan again used the power of Our Lady of Roses to summon the phantom of the pendant. A slate next to it disappeared, revealing a door.
After everyone walks in the door, the ground moves down like an elevator. At this time, the surrounding environment is no longer dark, but it shows blue light, which is full of science and technology.
“We are in a position where there is a strong magic defense and extremely complex magical reactions.” Lane said after sensing the surrounding environment. “I think this place should have only the extreme even when this sky city is at its peak. A small number of people will be allowed to enter. “
“This may be the control center that my grandma told me that only the Lapda royal family can reach.” After arriving at this place, Hida also recalled some things related to this place.
“How long has no one come to this place? It feels like the whole space is occupied by roots.” Baru complained loudly. After falling to the bottom, the door in front of him opened, but a root with thick arms blocked The door makes everyone unable to get out of the elevator.
“Don’t worry,” Ryan said, reaching out and touching the root of the tree to start communication, and soon the root of the tree was put aside as if it were alive. Except for the root of the tree in front of you. All the tree roots in the entire corridor outside the elevator that would hinder people’s movements were moved aside, forming a smooth road leading directly to the main control room.
“Wow! It’s amazing, is this the power of magic?” Baru and Hida whispered at the same time, and Ryan took the lead out of the elevator and said: “Okay, now you two hurry up. This It ’s not just the power of magic. To achieve my level, you need a deep understanding of nature and a harmonious coexistence relationship with nature. “
“It sounds terrible.” Baru shrugged and pulled Xida behind. They walked along the empty road through a narrow corridor to the front of another wall. An arch was formed in front of the wall, accurately marking the position of the door.
“Can plants do this? Especially when the magic of this world is not so active.” Hermione asked with a puzzled look at the arch formed by the tree roots in front of her.
“Other plants in this world may not work, but we just saw the giant tree.” Ryan said, stroking the arch made of tree roots. “This tree can only grow after absorbing a lot of special energy. To the point where the limit of the tree itself is exceeded, do n’t forget that this place has a powerful source of energy that can make a huge difference to this tree. “
“This change has other aspects besides body size.” Ryan, while summoning Our Lady of Roses to summon the phantom of the pendant to open the door as before, turned his head and said to others, “For example, I just felt this The big tree has now produced its own consciousness. Although this consciousness is very vague, it is not even a complete soul. But I believe that in time the big tree will become a wise tree. “
“That’s why after the tree communicated with you just now, the response it has made has exceeded the upper limit of ordinary plants.” Hermione nodded in understanding. Sometimes a powerful energy source does mutate those ordinary creatures. At least in the radiation world, they have seen more creatures that mutated under the stimulation of a strong energy source.
As they talked, the wall in the arch made of tree roots slowly separated to both sides, and a beam of light leaked out from inside, illuminating the entire dark corridor.
After the stone door was fully opened, they discovered that all the space inside the door had been completely occupied by plants. The roots of the big tree enveloped the entire room, and at the same time a cocoon with golden light was formed in the room.
And on the ground there is a herbaceous plant that can almost stand tall. The roots of these plants are straight, and only a few eggs the size of an egg are on the top 1/3. They grew densely on the floor of this house, occupying all the ground.
“The flying stone crystal should be in the cocoon of the root of the tree.” Ryan said by pointing to the spherical space formed by the root of the tree in the middle. “I can feel the powerful energy released there.”
Without him, everyone present could feel the power inside that cocoon. Even people like Baru or Hida who do n’t know magic at all feel that the light from the cracks in the roots of the trees makes them feel lighter than before.
Ryan pulled out her wand at the virtual point in the air and began to release a natural affinity spell. Soon a green ripple asked Ryan’s wand head to fly across the space.
After touching this green ripple, those herbs retreated as if they were activated, and also took away some silt from the roots. Soon, a stone road leading to the light cocoons formed by the tree roots was exposed in the grass.
When everyone followed the stone road to the big cocoon formed by the tree roots, some of the tree roots separated to the two sides, revealing a blue transparent octahedral crystal floating in the air. In everyone’s line of sight, this crystal is constantly spinning in the air, releasing light and energy outward.
“What a powerful magic!” Ryan whispered, standing in front of this crystal. In his magic perception, the crystal in front of him released a lot of magic to the outside world like the sun, but left beside the flying stone crystal. After sensing for a while on a black stone table engraved with cuneiform text, Ryan frowned.
“Is this?” Hermione watched Ryan’s expression change and approached him, then took out her wand and released several investigative spells on the stone platform. As someone who followed Ryan and saw a lot of top alchemy, she quickly discovered something wrong around her. “This means of energy utilization is too rough.”
“What is the use of power for roughness?” Baru, who was confused by the communication between Ryan and them, asked ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ What do you mean now? “
“Ah, by the way, let me give you a protection first. Although the short-term exposure of the magic energy radiation in this place will not cause any serious harm, sometimes it is better to be cautious.” Ryan waved and gave The two children were covered with a pink protective cover and told the curious two children who poked the protective cover with their hands. “This is used to protect you from the excessive magic energy radiation you receive.”
After taking good protection, Ryan explained, “In short, the flying stone crystal in front of us is a great miracle. It has a powerful energy inside to maintain the flight and the city of the sky. But ancient Lapda People’s use of this energy is too rough. It can be said that this city of the sky is a typical example of Lida. “
“Rough, but we think this sky city is already like a miracle.” Hida subconsciously retorted, probably because as a descendant of the Lapuda royal family, she subconsciously defended her ancestors.
“Did not say that your ancestors are not great,” Hermione placated with a smile. “But the characteristics of this world prevent you from mastering magic like we do. If you only know magic through various props, it is inevitable that the magic is rough and not in place. In fact, your ancestors can do this now. One thing is already very powerful. “
“However, according to the technology we have mastered, the use of magic power is far more perfect than it is now. I think that only one-fifth of the crystal size can now maintain the operation of this sky city.”
