Chapter 560 The floating city, the name that is hard to tell
The first to appear were ten elven mages from Cormanthor. Their age could not be seen just from their appearance, but their spells were limited to levels below 8. Based on previous games, they may not necessarily have an advantage.
But the problem is that [Grand Illusion] is not just an arcane competition, it is more like an art performance. In the field of art, without a long history and deep foundation, it is difficult for humans or dwarves to compete with it.
duel.
When the ten elf mages stood in the center of the arena, eyes of admiration, disgust, joy, or anticipation were cast on them.
The spell has not yet begun. The elf itself can be called an artistic display of the Creator. A bright red mist has already filled the bottom of the rhombus crystal.
When the spell started, the scene in the arena suddenly changed. The night sky was dark, but the surrounding lights were brightly lit, just like daytime. You could faintly hear the singing of joy floating in the wind.
There are many tall towers in the distance, connected by suspended corridors, either directly connected like bridges, or moving at will like ships. Occasionally, elves ride back and forth on Pegasus.
Then the perspective zoomed in and landed in front of a palace on the ground. Countless elves stood on the square in front of the palace, looking ahead with reverence. It was the scene of the royal coronation.
But this scene was not fully displayed. Then the perspective zoomed out again, so far that the city could be seen in full view. Only then did everyone realize that this turned out to be a miraculous city suspended in the sky, overlooking the earth.
Such a scene, even if Xia Duo had seen the prosperous city of ancient elves in the [Projection Plane, Mayelita, Sukanwisa City], he had to admit that this floating city really shocked him.
Xia Duo is like this, and other people who have never even seen what the Elf Kingdom looks like should be even more surprised!
The illusion finally settled on a far-sighted picture of a floating city, and then gradually faded away. The surrounding scene returned to reality, and the arena was silent.
Xia Duo recalled the scene he just saw, which was somewhat similar to the VR scenes on Earth. It was indeed quite exquisite, spectacular, and novel, but it still had a lingering sense of falsehood.
It is difficult for just ten mages to construct such a large scene perfectly. If it is used to fight the enemy, flaws can be easily discovered, but if it is used for performance, the flaws will not be covered up.
Looking at the diamond-shaped crystal in the center of the arena, the lower part is almost filled with dense, constantly surging crimson mist. This is the first game. Xia Duo can't tell whether this result is good or bad, but after seeing it
After the performance, he felt that the dwarfs might be hanging.
…
"What a miraculous floating city!"
On the throne, Princess Shia praised it without hesitation, but then said, "This floating city probably doesn't exist in real life!"
"Your Highness, although the floating city they just showed is not real, the elves did build a floating city ten thousand years ago."
As soon as Suviris finished speaking, another elf was unhappy. The representative of Ilfaran, the high mage Tyron, who came only on the third day of the snowmelting competition, immediately sneered:
"The founding of Cormanso was less than a thousand years ago, so how do we know what happened ten thousand years ago?"
It is true that the founding of Cormanthor was less than a thousand years ago, but the existence of many superior families can be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago. However, Suveris did not refute it. He knew that the history of Ilfran was ten times longer than that of Cormanthor, and even from the cruel
Survived the Crown War.
But history does not equal national strength, and it is meaningless to argue about this. However, he stopped talking, and Master Tyron still did not miss any opportunity to attack Cormanthor:
"Ten thousand years ago, some elves did try to build a floating city, but they failed. In the end, they just built a floating fortress that could barely fly. Suveris, do you know who built that floating fortress?
?”
Suveris continued to remain silent, because he really didn't know. He only knew that there might have been a floating city in history.
However, Princess Shia was quite interested in this and asked, "Mage Tyron, who built the floating fortress in the first place?"
"I dare not say their original names. As for their current names, Suveris should be familiar with them. Didn't they just break through your line of defense some time ago?"
——Drow!
Everything that needs to be known about what happened on Cormanthor is now known, especially Suveris. He was both surprised that Tyron knew the battle situation on the domestic front, and was also surprised that Tyron mentioned that the drow had built
Pass the floating fortress.
He wanted to ask, but he couldn't keep his dignity, so he just snorted coldly and ignored the other party.
As for the others, it is not convenient to continue to ask questions in this situation. I just keep this matter in mind and wait until I have time to ask again.
…
On the field, Elkamon cleared the detection record of the rhombus crystal, and then announced that the game would continue. The next person to appear was Master Ye Erlan.
After the ten Masters of Yeerlan stood still, like Master Cormanso, they did not start immediately, but paused for a while. It was this moment that also won them some of the crimson mist in the rhombus crystal.
Moreover, since most of these ten Yerlan mages are moon elves, and most of the audience in the arena are humans, compared to the pale golden skin of the Cormansokin elves, the fair skin of the moon elves is obviously more in line with human aesthetics.
Elves, both male and female, are all very beautiful in appearance. Humans don't need to tell whether they are male or female, they can just appreciate them.
And Master Yerlan’s illusion, to a certain extent, is also more in line with human tastes than Master Cormanso’s illusion——
In the forest, a group of elf warriors were marching quickly. The angle of view was zoomed out, and countless elf warriors were rushing to the battlefield. In the center of the battlefield, the armies of both sides were stepping on the corpses of the same kind, and the blood was still fighting.
Swords and magic, light and shadow intertwined, and a cruel and bloody war scene unfolded.
And this is not over yet, the perspective continues to zoom out, and as a dark light passes by, the two parties who were fighting fell down at the same time, and then slowly stood up, but after they stood up, they did not continue fighting, but joined more
The same kind continues to move in the other direction.
The illusion scene ended here, and the place was silent as before after Master Cormanzo's performance.
…
Xia Duo calmly wiped away the sweat on his palms. Compared to the slightly exaggerated scenes in the floating city, this extremely real killing scene was even more shocking.
On the earth, Xia Duo has seen many strange, magnificent and gorgeous scenes, but compared to magic landscaping, the sense of immersion is not strong.
But there is only one thing that is difficult to see on earth, or to be more precise, in Sha Duo's hometown, and that is a real killing scene.
Sword killings, magic killings, countless corpses, and plasma are full of a sense of immersion. Even though Xia Duo has traveled so far, he has personally experienced some killings, but this kind of pure killing that seems to have no other purpose still makes his heart beat faster.
"The only thing missing from the epic blockbuster is some plot and sound!" Sha Duo murmured.
Looking at the "score" again, the red mist scale in the rhombus crystal has exceeded the floating city scene performed by Master Cormanthor before.
Sure enough, blood, violence, war, and killing are more likely to stimulate people's emotions!
