Chapter 1061 Who said that magic cannot be convenient for civilian use
It seems that after being outside for so long, the stupid bird has learned a lot of things, such as using tableware and drinking soup. During the meal, I was very happy to see that the little crow finally stopped grabbing food directly and drank the soup.
Sometimes she would not plop her head into the soup pot: You know, just these two things at home made this stupid bird a lot of trouble for everyone. Every time she ate, I wanted to put up a bunker next to her.
She can give you a meal to the extent that the food is evenly distributed within a radius of two meters.
It's much better now. Although it still looks a little clumsy, the little crow can indeed drink soup with a spoon and eat noodles with chopsticks - this is much better than grabbing it with hands, right?
Because we wanted to experience more local food (and prevent a certain big-eating queen from attracting the attention of the whole city with one meal), we went around for two hours and changed several combat locations for this meal. In fact, sometimes I was quite
I envy Sandora, her surprisingly strong appetite and endless appetite. If you go to a place you have never been to to experience local food, then this talent obviously has a huge advantage: you can eat half as much as others in one meal.
As a result of a few months, ordinary people would be half-dead after eating a few bites of each local food, but Sandora almost set off to have another meal two hundred kilometers away after going around the entire city... Later, I was
The remonstrance was successful.
"Wow... I feel quite full." My foodie queen finally patted her belly with satisfaction and let out a sigh of satisfaction. I couldn't help but cast curious eyes on her slender waist. Well, what can the prime minister have in his belly?
Punching a boat is a declarative sentence in Sandora.
"The taste is quite good. And they are all common people's dishes, with many varieties," Lin Xue exhaled, seemingly relaxing her stomach, "This world has quite a lot of research on eating. I think the snacks here are no better than ours."
There are so few there, especially the three-layered fruit cup just now. How do you think they came up with it? The person who invented that thing must have too much stuff to waste..."
"There are a lot of fun things here." Lilina smiled, "You know, this planet is one size larger than the earth, and the land area accounts for more than 64%, and most of it is a habitable zone.
, which means that the living space here is several times that of the earth - and that does not include those lost worlds. In such a large world, there are more than a dozen highly intelligent races with independent cultural systems. Some of them are native species.
, and some are hybrids that appeared after several gaps in history. They were separated from the original racial and cultural systems. There are so many racial and cultural branches, and they have all continued from ancient times to the present. You can do the math.
You can't count how many things this can produce, just eat. Of course, you may not be able to accept the food of some races, such as the roasted stone eggs of the Hill Country Elves and the raw meat feast of the Ward people. However,
I think Sister Sandora should have no pressure on these things."
Shandora had already been fascinated by this time: "Ajun, we must drag this world to the Empire District - we must!"
After eating and drinking, everyone seemed to be extremely energetic. This may be related to the fact that Qianqian and Lilina, a combination of high explosives and catalysts, finally got together again: as long as the two of them are together, they basically dominate daily life.
You can imagine what a terrible combination it would be to mix an activist whose thinking is often in a parallel space with a troublemaker whose morality is often in another dimension. But fortunately, this time the goal of both of them is to have fun and not destroy the world. So
It took us nearly a day to go around the entire Sentu Port, um. We went around the main and distinctive urban areas. After all, this is a large city. The guide was of course Lilina.
, even though she had only been here for more than a day (they rushed here after confirming the teleportation location from the ancient garden to the mother continent, and Lilina and the other two had been staying elsewhere), but this girl was rambling all the way.
Her appearance could almost be mistaken for the real thing with the locals. Needless to say, Lilina did nothing at all after arriving here. She just tried her best to inquire about the things here with the locals, just so that she could chatter in front of me all day, and then change
A possible compliment. Faced with this girl's unusual way of working hard, I really have nothing to do.
As a city like a transit station, Sentu has a large area, but there are not many residential areas and places that can be called characteristic landscapes. It faces the "port" (local people sometimes call the large plain "dry port").
", which is quite realistic) The block on one side is basically occupied by various hotels and rental warehouses. One-third of the city is also related to material turnover. There is nothing to see. The more distinctive places are except for the central square.
Outside is the "Special Materials Trading Market" and the "Secret Society". The former is the place most familiar to explorers. They find rare materials or scraps that may have research value from dangerous areas in the lost world that have not yet been completely controlled by humans.
Iron is sold on the "Special Materials Trading Market", and the buyers are basically alchemists and scholars. The former's status in this world is getting lower and lower, while the latter is highly respected. These are two classes with huge differences that have to directly interact with each other.
The places they come into contact with are prosperous and weird - the harvest of explorers often fluctuates greatly, and they themselves are loose and unorganized. No one can monopolize the circulation of goods in this industry, so to this day, this small commodity wholesale-like trading method still exists robustly.
The "Special Materials Trading Market" is located next to the city's central square, in front of the dark alley area.
The "Secret Society" is located at the other end of the city, almost far away from the urban area and almost to the suburbs. This is because the "Secret Society" requires a relatively quiet environment, and the people gathered there are basically researchers who need quiet.
Lilina focused on the Secret Law Society. She praised this unique facility. It is a public facility serving mages, alchemists, religious believers and other weird researchers in this world, and is available to all applicants.
Basic materials and venue services are provided, as well as information inquiry and transaction entrustment. In other words, if you are an alchemist who needs to go to other places for research, then you can find a local secret society and pay a certain handling fee. Rent a laboratory and start
For your own work, of course you can also use the above-mentioned status to find accommodation here with much better facilities than in the city, but the price is also much higher than in the city. But as the saying goes, scientific research is inherently a waste of money.
Business...
After listening to Lilina's introduction, I felt that this public facility called the Arcana Society is a bit like a public laboratory with a high degree of freedom, and it also functions as a library. The Arcana Society does not belong to any collective, it is similar to an open museum on earth.
, a complex of libraries, laboratories, and talent markets. Some are invested and established by individuals, and some are invested and established by large chambers of commerce. They vary in size. This is something unique to this world, and it is also the place where we will rest today——
Lilina rented an area here for a long time, using one of Medivh's feathers.
"Our registered status is that of religious believers," Lilina excitedly asked me for credit. "Crow God believers! The religious environment in this world is too free, and there are many gods. Even gods with only three or five believers exist.
If you make up a god yourself, no one from other churches will attack you. Ah, this world is simply a paradise tailor-made for this pope... We are here."
I was still busy analyzing how this world full of gods in Lilina's mouth could prevent religious wars from breaking out under normal logic, and then I discovered that the group of people had arrived in the suburbs. This place is located in another part of the city directly opposite the port turnover area.
At one end, there are no ordinary residential areas around, the buildings are sparse, and there are basically no ordinary civilians wearing coarse clothes walking on the street. They are leisurely strolling on the stone road that has just been sprinkled with water and is still a little damp.
Most of the people walking around are scholars who are well-dressed and look well-educated. Although there are also some unkempt guys among the scholars, and most people who devote themselves to academics don't know how to take care of their own daily life. But a slightly more successful person
Scholars always have one or two assistants to take care of them, so the mages and alchemists who can be seen outside are more or less dressed in the same way.
I looked around, and there were obvious differences between the scattered houses around me and the rest of the city: they were taller, their lines changed from thick and straight to slender and elegant, and the main body of the building was no longer made of wood and stone.
Rough structure, but the application of more advanced construction technology. These tall buildings with elegant lines are all white, and there are no gaps in the brickwork. It is obvious that the walls have been treated with something similar to paint. The tops of all buildings
They are all covered with golden colored glaze, and when viewed from a distance, they look resplendent. Looking at the surrounding scene, I really want to sigh. As expected, the people who are related to the Master are all a group of wealthy people - at least the chambers of commerce who invest in them are
In this way, it seems that the most beautiful building in Shadow City is also the mage tower in Silver Moon District.
"Magic and knowledge are elegant arts," Lilina read a line of text floating in the air in front of the entrance to the square, and then added her own opinion, "So those who study this stuff are basically bastards, no matter how you talk about this world
Most of the researchers are considered to be magicians, so almost all mystic societies are of this style." After sighing, she took out a metal plate the size of a matchbox, shook it in the air, and blocked the way in front of us.
A column of light beams disappeared out of thin air: Is this an access control system from another world?
The entire secret area is a ** area about the same size as the city's central square. There are no walls around it, but it is surrounded by a circle of light beams pointed straight into the sky. These light beams are fences formed by magical power, and what stimulates them is embedded in the ground.
There is a row of metal discs on the top. The discs are engraved with complex magic array patterns. The discs can also sense the energy field of the "key" waving nearby. If it is interfered by the key, the light beam will temporarily disappear for a while.
Facts have proved that even without the high technology on earth, magical civilization can do many science fiction things, such as laser barriers and sensor-based monthly passes.
"We live in the tall tower in front. In this world, there is no population pressure, and high-strength building materials can only be produced by alchemists and magicians, so the buildings are usually not too high. Only some scholars like them.
Living in a high place not only broadens your mind, but also allows tabloid reporters who come to interview you to die of exhaustion in the middle of the road: there is something similar to an elevator in the tower, but under any circumstances the elevators and teleportation arrays in the secret facility are wrong.
Journalists are open to the public. This is the basic moral code for all scholars in this world." Lilina led us to a tall white tower. The diameter of the base of this tower was at least a hundred meters in diameter, and the height was about four to five hundred meters:
In this world where the average building height is only three or four stories. This is simply a giant building. It can be seen that the experts and scholars in this world hate those tabloid reporters crazy. If it were not for their poor materials science, they would definitely build it all over the world.
At the Burj Khalifa, Lilina still swiped her card at the door, and then led everyone into the lobby on the first floor of the tower, "We are on the twentieth floor, and the entire floor is covered. The feathers of the little birds are really beautiful."
What a good thing. I can buy the whole Sentu when she moults..."
The first floor of the white tower is a circular hall. Yes, there are no other rooms on the entire first floor, only a very wide hall. The floor of the hall is paved with smooth green and light gray intersecting floor tiles, with an average of about ten meters.
I saw a thick pillar supporting the high roof, with a gorgeous crystal chandelier above it. The entire hall was brightly lit: that bright and stable light was obviously not illuminated by fuel. A circle around the hall
. You can see a lot of semi-arc service desk-like seats. Each service desk has uniformed staff on duty, showing an eight-tooth smile to every target walking upright who passes by. Many of them are dressed in different clothes.
People with hurried expressions were walking around in the hall. The first impression this atmosphere gave me was that what I saw when I opened the door and went out later might not be a different world, but a civil airliner that was about to take off...
What is even more eye-opening are the four hollow crystal pillars in the center of the hall. These four hollow pillars are completely transparent. The inner diameter inside is about three meters. Just when I was wondering what this thing was for, one of the pillars was
Suddenly, a suspended metal platform slowly descended from upstairs. There were four or five old men in purple robes on the platform - this is a sightseeing elevator!
There must be civil aviation parked outside the tower! This place must be a newly built airport somewhere, right?
A group of people boarded the magical version of the elevator in this other world. Although everyone has seen the elevator, this is the first time we have encountered the anti-gravity sightseeing elevator driven by magic. The development of magic in this world obviously also affects people's livelihood.
After walking a long way, I suddenly remembered the stove used by the stall owner when I was eating in the Central Square. They all seemed to have automatic temperature adjustment and a blower function...
Vanilla has always had an expression of curiosity on her face but didn't dare to show it too much. She wanted to squat down several times to study the luminous patterns on the suspended metal platform. It was obvious that she was from a mountainous area and had never seen the world. She didn't even know many words.
For a local girl, the things here are still full of novelty - even though she has been in Sentu Port for almost two days. And the idiot Medivh has been trying to smash the transparent shell of the sightseeing elevator with her face. It took me a long time to understand.
She came here to peck at the shiny "glass" with her mouth. Bingtis was betting with 123 on what the rated load of this magic-driven anti-gravity elevator was, and the former decided to take out a ton of stones from the portable space.
She tried smashing the platform under her feet, but I told her to stop. Qianqian kept grinning and making faces at the passing floors outside the elevator, trying to attract others' attention. Later, Lilina couldn't help but remind her: "
When you get to the second floor and above, the elevator cannot be seen from the outside. It is one-way glass..." So Qianqian was greatly disappointed and asked dissatisfiedly: "Then what do they mean by making the first floor transparent from both sides?"
Lilina shrugged: "The main purpose is to win."
The elevator stopped at the 20th floor. The layout of the tower is the same from the seventh floor up (maybe the sixth floor? I can’t count). It’s a bit like a comprehensive office building, with four transparent pipes going in four directions.
A corridor extends, and there are rooms on both sides of the corridor. These rooms are basically not too big. Some are used to meet the accommodation requirements of less than two people, and some can be used as small laboratories, activity rooms or reading rooms. But here
The entire second floor of the hotel was rented out by Lilina, and it was said that in order to "lay the first foundation for the Crow God Cult", she had permanently bought this floor as an office, and she didn't have to worry about whether it was a room or not.
And just when we stepped out of the "elevator" and were about to throw ourselves on the bed to thank our legs and feet (we have already walked around the entire city today), a small man suddenly walked out of a room in the front.
Girls.
Why are there outsiders here?
The little girl seemed to be frightened when she saw the large group of us, but after seeing the four of Lilina, she immediately showed a relieved smile and hurried over to greet her. I noticed that the other party was probably only
She is about 1.4 meters tall, but has the mature figure of an adult. She is wearing a long black skirt with two straight silver ribbons hanging down from the breast - I can't help but focus on Little Crow and Vanilla.
, they also had two such ribbons hanging from the breasts of their dresses, but they were gold. Originally, I thought this was an inherent decoration of this dress, but this short girl with a silver ribbon hanging on her chest
It makes me doubt my guess a little. In addition to the silver ribbon, there is another part of the other party's clothes that people have to pay attention to, which is the hem of her skirt: it is dotted with many golden feather ornaments, which is another little crow.
and stuff on vanilla clothes.
In addition to her clothes, the other thing that attracts more attention is her head - this girl has a pair of beautiful yellow cat ears, which are the same color as her short hair.
Cat ears...cat ears...cat...
"Hey, my kid's dad is up there!" Paopao screamed strangely on the spot and climbed up. His 1.1 meter tall head hung back and forth on her 1.4 meter tall body, and he stretched out his hand quite rudely.
He pinched the person's ears with one hand, and said a lot of words in his mouth, "This is so cute! Cat girl who has the most cuteness in this world, hurry up and sign a contract with me to become a cute girl, come and meow for my sister."
One...Eh? Ah! You can't do this to the child's father! You can't interfere with your wife's normal life hobbies! Put me down! I'm not Lilina, you can't do this to me! It's unreasonable! Little Paopao, come and help you
mom!"
I picked up this hopelessly poisonous guy and hung it in the air for a long time. After struggling for a while, the world finally became quiet. Now I looked at the short girl with cat ears - the ones on the ears
The fur was all blown up. According to my usual experience of raising fox dogs, this one was definitely very frightening.
"Let me introduce to you, her name is so-and-so. She is one of the first few followers of Crow God. I took her with me when we set off. Her main mission here is so-and-so."
Lilina pointed at the already helpless cat girl and introduced happily. (To be continued)
