The Dream of the Century——War of Faith Chapter Seventeen: The Opening Ceremony
Romani considered that there was nothing to worry about at the moment, so he sat down quietly and flipped through the book given by Esther. Let's start with "The Influence of Varan's Monster Friends on Mages". [At least I have read the book now, so I won't.
So boring.]
This book tells many bizarre stories with Varan, a fictional linguist, as the protagonist. Although it is a fairy tale, the descriptions of monster friends throughout the book are based on real monsters-many monsters have long been around.
There are no more in the principality area, and the remaining small parts are among the ruins buried deep underground.
Although the monster information in the book here is now difficult to use, Romani is still very happy to see so many real monster records. At least in the past, there were still so many magical creatures on the ground here.
Romani didn't mind reading all these books. After reading "The Influence of Valan's Monster Friends on Mages", he took a small notebook and wrote down what he thought was interesting. Then he read "Natural History"
"Must read" In short, there is nothing more to do now, so it is good to read more.
"Must-Read Natural History" is a thick book with very small letters. It contains a lot of things densely packed in it. It will take a lot of time to read it all.
After reading a few pages of this tome, Romani couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart. She flipped through the catalog and saw that it was full of things she didn't know. She could only read slowly and patiently and looked at the pen and notebook in her hand.
He muttered: "Mr. Esther wouldn't mind me taking some notes in the book, right?"
Fortunately, there is not much room for note-taking in Natural History Required Reading.
Natural history is an ancient knowledge, which is a huge amount of knowledge summed up when humans interact with nature from the beginning to the present. In a broad sense, it makes a macroscopic observation and classification of animals and plants, various inorganic substances and ecological systems, and even includes
It covers part of the professional knowledge in astronomy, meteorology, geology, biology, ecology, anthropology, behavior, etc.
Romani faced such a heavy, comprehensive and professional amount of content, but he didn't know most of it, and felt ashamed of his own shallowness. Although it was a bit boring, at least this book was more attractive than the poker game.
As the saying goes, being knowledgeable is not masterful, and the time is short. Even with the memory ability of the mage, he can only choose one part to read through.
Romani started with astronomy. He was not in a hurry about this kind of thing.
In the next week, he began to focus on this part. First of all, the number of stars in this world changes, not to mention the three moons. But... the sun once disappeared for a month, sixty-one days to be exact. At that time, this
Time is called the Sunless Moon, but Romani may not be aware of this incident due to the influence of the great amnesia.
During that time, the three priests of the sun or light domain gods all lost their divine link to the gods they believed in and were unable to use any magic.
This effect disappears after the solar phase switches to twilight, for reasons that are not yet known.
The three moon gods and three sun gods currently known can obviously correspond to the six stars: red moon, silver moon, black moon, morning twilight, fierce sun, and evening sun.
Perhaps no one knows the total number of gods, but every time a new star appears, a small church will always emerge.
Therefore, astronomy is closely connected with theology, but it is not absolute. At least the trajectory of the stars has nothing to do with the will of the gods, and the gods will even send oracles to ask for the trajectory of the stars.
Romani spent another week comparing the knowledge about astronomy in other natural history systems. To be honest, there are not many descriptions of astronomy in natural history, and it takes up very little space. But this knowledge is undoubtedly extremely useful.
, at least if a certain star is blocked by clouds and fog, it means that it is likely to rain. This meteorological knowledge is very useful.
Kalin had communicated with Devil Vine many times during this week. This new consciousness completely regarded Kalin as its father, but it also vaguely knew that it had a grandmother.
Carlin's way of operating magic power in the past was very crude. There is no doubt that Devil's Vine has a talent for being active and playful. It can easily control the magic power generated in Carlin's body, and even this part of the magic power is like its hands and feet.
Devil's Vine can even build spell models relatively independently at Carlin's request to complete real spells, but just like children, Devil's Vine's learning ability is limited.
For a week, Carlin interacted with his son and taught him normal ethical knowledge and common sense to avoid adverse effects on himself. And Carlin was able to use this to cast some low-level spells.
Noel also went to exercise muscles or practice spells from time to time. Amon was the only one in the house, so Amon took the card to visit the rooms of other explorers. After all, he was in the same room with the legendary explorer, so no one else was there.
Good to refuse.
A week passed quickly, and the light and shadow of a city structure on the floating island could already be seen in the airship's magic detection equipment.
This news really excited everyone in the Mage Association, and their guess was already half correct.
When the news spread throughout the airship, everyone felt a sense of weightlessness. The reverse thrust used by the airship during landing caused serious bumps, and many objects in the rooms or corridors fell to the ground.
"Let's go and have a look at the boarding port." Noel untied the bandage of Ancestor's Strength and carried it on his back.
"Coming, coming." Karin couldn't wait to see the wonderful floating city, so he packed up his things and followed.
"Ah~~~We're finally here," Romani stretched. He was almost rusty after being on the boat for two weeks, and he could finally move his muscles.
Amon followed closely behind, not wanting to miss out on the fun. "Indeed, it's boring. This is also the first time I've ever gotten tired of playing cards."
Esther in the studio also immediately went to the magic detection cabin of the airship to take a look. Maybe he could get a map larger than the field of view and determine areas that might be more valuable.
At this time, the entrance to the observation room was overcrowded, and military personnel were maintaining order.
"There are so many people." Esther didn't plan to queue up, after all, what would it be like for a legendary explorer to be crowded with people?
However, it is also necessary to obtain information, so Esther first listened to the chats of the explorers near the observation room, or those who had just come out. Maybe he could get some information directly from them.
"Mr. Amon has been playing cards for a week. I guess all of you who know how to play cards on this ship have played cards, right?" Romani teased.
"Yeah, but it's not interesting. Although there are a lot of cards played, there is no chance of winning. Really, they are all out to lick blood, so why don't they have this little fun?" The latter shook his head.
Carlin had no consciousness of maintaining his personal style. He hid in the crowd and listened to the discussions of the people around him. He wanted to jump to the first row of the observation room.
A large number of people gathered at the boarding port, but the door was closed. From the noisy chatter of the explorers ahead, it was known that the airship had stopped on a giant pumice stone about a mile away from the floating island.
There is no way to breathe outside, and there is a protective shield on the floating island. Several artificers who have been sent out to meet and have taken necessary protective measures are currently studying the nature of the shield at a safe distance. What Ester got on the other side is the same.
Pretty much the same information.
Even though there was a huge crowd, Romani couldn't stop his excitement. He kept trying to squeeze into a place with a wide view to see the true appearance of Kongdao in advance.
[One mile is not far, and my strength is enough to get me to the island. But I can’t survive if I can’t breathe. We can’t rule out that this situation will happen in other places on the island.] Esther thought about it and decided
First go to the Wizards Association to see if you can buy some emergency oxygen supplies. Even if oxygen can be supplied within the so-called barrier, if the barrier fails or something else, emergency oxygen supply can greatly delay the survival time.
If there is some way to solve the problem of breathing underwater, on this empty island...Romani doesn't know if there is any way to solve the breathing problem.
The situation quickly changed. An explorer in the observation room came out and gave a shocking message. Several artificers were returning and were expected to board the boat in a quarter of an hour.
"What happened?!" Romani and several other explorers couldn't wait.
[It looks like we have to prepare. I wonder what those green plants that provide breathing are like?] After hearing this, Carlin left the observation room and began to prepare for the login. He also took a look at the arrangements of the association.
There is no one waiting in the room at this time - not counting people, Phil is still eating leisurely in the cafeteria. But the three parties must have discussed how to solve the problem of being unable to breathe before.
"It looks like there's a bit of trouble." Amon didn't push past.
[Baby, are you awake?] Karin thought for a while, and before going to the association to ask about the situation, he tried calling Devil Vine.
Devil's ivy gave a vague response and seemed to be still sleeping. [Baby, we may face the dilemma of being unable to breathe soon. If you are exposed to a plant, can you gain their abilities? 】
Devil's ivy says it can also perform simple photosynthesis, but its main source of nutrition is meat.
[Then your normal breathing is bound to me or independent?] Karin was confused.
After waiting anxiously, the staff used a loudspeaker to explain the entire ship. First, in order to ensure safety, each person will be issued a talisman before the exploration begins. After the talisman is crushed, the synchronizer can be instantly teleported back to the inside of the airship.
In addition, emergency oxygen supply devices are also provided, but the number is limited at one time.
[Okay, go to sleep, and tell me immediately if anything happens.] After hearing the explanation, Karin temporarily gave up on the idea of gaining an advantage from the devil's ivy, and instead walked towards the hatch. It must be very lively there.
In the end, each person received three breathing goggles.
Amon put the breathing goggles on his hands and played with them. "It takes half a day, but it's not bad. This way, I finally have something to do, hehe."
Esther is going to ask the staff whether the returning machine warlock's identification of the barrier will block the space power. In other words, whether it is possible to enter the barrier through space ability.
After Esther asked the staff, the staff told Esther that the only way to enter the barrier of the floating island is to teleport in. Now the teleportation array has been assumed. Later, this information was also transmitted through the loudspeaker device throughout the ship.
notice.
[4 hours at a time, use it at least 3 times. If you only work 8 hours a day, you can use it for a day and a half.] Romani used the identification technique worriedly. This talisman can cast teleportation, and the target is the teleportation receiving room inside the airship.
The permanent magic circle.
The explorers then went to the teleportation room to queue up to receive the corresponding items and wait for the teleportation.
