Chapter 96: Shocking City (Part 2)

"Rex, what does Alchemy City look like?" Salin asked Rex fifty miles away from Alchemy City. They could move forward at full speed at this time, and Sika's injuries completely healed. The distance of fifty miles was only more than an hour.

"I don't know." Rex's answer made Salin feel strange. In his heart, Rex rarely didn't know about the Qin Yin Empire.

"The route we are taking is too urgent, and I have never had the chance to contact my own people." Rex explained to Salin. Seeing that Salin still had a ignorant expression, Rex smiled and said, "Alchemy City is not another city, there are often changes, even the magic towers outside the city are like this.

Rex's words made Salin even more confused, but he stopped asking. Anyway, when he arrived at Alchemy City, he would understand everything.

Salin had never been to Alchemy City, but his teacher Jason Statham was a man from Alchemy City, and he had an inexplicable favor for this city.

Salin originally thought that after seeing the Holy Rock City, he would not be shocked by other cities, but when he was more than ten miles away from the Alchemy City, he clearly saw the outline of the Alchemy City.

What he saw was not the city wall or the magic tower. What he saw was the urban building complex formed by tall buildings in the city.

Five miles away from the city, he could see the towering magic towers outside the city with cold vision, but compared with the buildings in the city, these magic towers are much different in height.

What buildings are those? They are taller than the ten-story magic tower! Salin doesn't need to observe cold vision at all, and he knows that most of these buildings are taller than the main entrance of the Qinin Empire's palace. He has seen in the book that the Sacred Cathedral of the City of Glory is the tallest building on the continent of Meers, but when he saw the buildings of the Alchemy City, he felt that the Sacred Cathedral could not be taller than these houses.

The Alchemy City is not without city walls, but the walls of these sections are completely connected by castles of different styles. The walls are uneven. For artistic beauty, many reliefs are also involved. With these reliefs, trained swordsmen can easily climb up without ladders.

Most of the building materials of these castles are low-level magic materials, but no matter how low-level they are, they are qualified to build magic towers. All the reliefs and patterns on the walls of the castle are not made of any dyes, and are entirely determined by the natural color and texture of the stone itself.

The main gate of Alchemy City does not look like the gate of a city no matter how you look at it.

At the end of the road, two statues stand tall, the height of the statue exceeds eighty meters. When you walk closer, you will feel dizzy. The two human-shaped statues have lifelike animal skin patterns. Looking up, the statue's eyes are looking down. One of them is holding a long sword in his hand.

Salin saw a third eye on the statue's forehead, but the prototype of the statue was the three-eyed giant.

The giant plane has long been lost. Unlike the undead plane, there are also necromancers who can summon some creatures. The giant plane exists in the legend.

Under the long sword, there is a huge dragon head. This sculpture carved into the shape of a dragon head is the main gate of Alchemy City, and Salin felt the majesty in his heart.

He had seen a giant dragon, and the majesty exuded on the dragon's head was extremely similar to the dragon's might possess.

The main gate of this Alchemy City is simply based on the only legendary myth in the Meers Continent. It was a story from 30,000 years ago.

The gods coveted the richness of the Meers Continent and launched wars between planes. The war spread across countless planes. Humans commanded nearly a hundred planes of creatures and competed with the gods for the rule of the Meers Continent.

The three most brave races under humanity are the demon clan, the dragon clan and the giant clan. The gods are retreating step by step, and are about to lose the passage to various planes of the divine realm, and from then on they will be imprisoned in the boundless void. A weak god seduced a powerful existence in the dragon clan, causing at least half of the dragons to betray humans.

At this time, rumors spread everywhere, and most creatures on the plane believed in one thing. The planes where humans existed were to destroy all living beings. The battle situation turned straight, and there were many different stories behind them. The gods finally failed, but humans lost their best companions, the giants.

The giants expressed their disappointment with such wars. After helping humans kill the betrayed dragon, they disappeared from all planes. Legend has it that they broke the shackles of the plane and went to another even larger world.

After that, it was a chaotic era, and a new god appeared on the continent - Meles.

Goddess Meles never needs any faith, and whether you are her believer or not, she will give you gifts. Her temple is mostly dealing with trouble after the war of planes.

No matter how unreal the chaotic era was more than 30,000 years ago, Khasarin knew that such legends could not be recorded in history books. In particular, the Holy Church once swept across three quarters of the continent, and many classics were burned down as banned books.

Over the past thousand years, in addition to the magician's notes, the spread of this story has been limited to the wandering poets of the Qin Yin Empire.

Such words are written on paper, which is a blasphemy against the Lord of Glory. Gods love humans, so how could they initiate wars on their own initiative? Moreover, history has been submerged for too long, and many people even do not believe that humans once had such glorious years.

The gate of Alchemy City is simply designed based on this legend. The Holy See cannot not know about such a design. Even if Alchemy City did not build a ten-story magic tower, doing so is equivalent to telling the Holy See that the magician will never believe in your gods.

The dragon head is more than 20 meters high, with a huge dragon mouth open. Six pairs of dragon teeth of varying lengths are carved with huge magic circles. There is no need for a city gate, and anyone entering the city may be attacked by the magic circles on the dragon teeth. Salin felt dizzy again. He simply calculated the 12 magic circles, and his mental power involuntarily decreased sharply, as if he had been absorbed from the outside.

Salin even suspected that the two giant statues more than 80 meters tall were also attacking weapons, but he couldn't think of what such a tall puppet needed to drive.

Before entering the city, Salin was hit by this group of sculptures. Human beings were once so brilliant, why, now most people choose to forget? Only the magicians are still pursuing the truth and moving forward with difficulty.

Many people think that magicians are withdrawn and unkind, and even mages who serve royal families or nobles are difficult to communicate with people around them. Khasarin is very clear that this is not because magicians have power, but because their way of seeing the world is too different from that of ordinary people.

Who would think about what happens a hundred years later? When they eat, would they consider what their food is composed of? They don’t even want to understand how many bones there are in their bodies, let alone why magicians are so powerful and always stand tall.

More and more people only care about the present and lose the desire to learn. Many magicians feel sad when looking at ordinary people. Even if someone wants to become a magic apprentice, it is just to learn a craft of survival.

Magic apprentices have too many jobs to do and will not starve to death. Some people just want to learn memory magic, recognize more words and manage accounts for the business bank.

The entire continent has a population of more than one billion, and the number of mages is less than one percent, and most of them are concentrated in Qin Yin Rex using preferential conditions to absorb low-level mages and apprentices. In ten years, Qin Yin has only tens of thousands of people who have gone to Kushui County.

Most of these tens of thousands of people are apprentices. If you only count the low-level mages, you may be able to exceed 1,000? These thousand low-level mages account for less than one million of the proportion of humans on the entire continent.

Salin suddenly understood why the Alchemy City existed. This city was the hope created by the magician himself. Every mage who entered the city would see that group of sculptures and would remember the glory that humans had once had.

There are no guards in Alchemy City, the city gates are never closed, and no one is charged for city taxes. The streets look much narrower than Holy Rock City. It is not that the mages of Alchemy City respect the Grucos royal family more, but that the carriages entering and leaving Alchemy City are relatively smaller.

There are many great magicians here. Although the space equipment is still expensive, it is not a rare thing. It does not require huge carriages like the Empire to load those low-level wooden boxes.

The streets in the city are not straight, and the magicians do not need cavalry. They have various puppets in their hands. Besides, no one dared to attack Alchemy City. Salin saw hundreds of magic towers outside the city, but he had not seen the legendary nine-story magic towers. The nine towers are east of Alchemy City, facing the sea.

The Alchemy City has a history of thousands of years. Except for the ninth-level magician, ordinary magicians cannot live that long. At least half of the hundreds of magic towers have lost their masters. No one will touch these magic towers and become the cemetery where the magicians finally rest in peace.

The streets of Alchemy City have no gaps, and all the paved stones are closely connected by Alchemy, perfectly seamless. The worn parts are repaired every year, and there are too many apprentices and low-level mages here.

The huge buildings that surprised Salin were everywhere. Salin saw a tall tower with metal bones, all inlaid with crystals. Even if it had been used scrapped crystals, it could no longer be measured with gold coins. Everything in the Alchemy City seems to have this feature. Here, you may only be able to buy the lowest-level things with gold coins, such as low-level magic cores.

Salin even saw a puppet horse pulling a carriage and walking through the street. In addition to crystals, there are transparent glass on the windows of the house. The scrapped crystals are not too big. These glasses are made very large. Salin even saw a shop on the street, which is more than five meters high on a floor of glass windows, which is almost the entire height of the floor.

This is a city that is as rich as a country! The characteristics of the Skochenya in Salin's bloodline jumped out. He felt that even if he used a magic counter, he could not calculate how much the Alchemy City was worth.
