Antasil is very different from what it used to be.
Even though Kalya had already expected what this city would look like through the stories told by Shabeka and Shabek, when he saw the towering Mage Tower with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In the era of the Shurima Empire, Antasil was the political and economic center of Southern Shurima. It had the best deep-water port in Southern Shurima. The spices and raw ores traded in Icathia used to be shipped in Antarctic ship by ship.
Tahir unloaded the goods and landed, then walked through the large tunnel and sold them at a sky-high price in the Xueyin Market.
But now, although Antahir's port is still there, it has been completely sealed and has become an out-and-out military port. The once prosperous city has now changed its appearance, and there is no longer the bustle of the past.
——The situation inside the mage tower is still unknown, but outside the mage tower, there are only a few pedestrians in Antahir.
There are no guards in the city, but every mage tower is heavily guarded. Kalya and his party wandered around the city for a few times, and then they were shocked to find that the people living here were all servants and ordinary people, and everyone with status in the entire city
, all live in the Mage Tower.
In addition, the huge Antahir does not even have a decent market. If locals want to buy food, they have to go to the market outside the city. The main reason for this situation is because of Antahir.
As a "city of mages", Tahir must serve mages, and irrelevant content should not exist.
It seems that in Xerath's eyes, he is already showing mercy by allowing ordinary people to settle in the city.
Want to further develop your living facilities?
If you don't want to live here, you can leave.
But no matter how unkind Xerath's orders are, the mages of Southern Shurima will still come here in an endless stream, contributing their strength to Xerath in exchange for valuable magical knowledge.
These things are not considered confidential information, so without much effort, Kalya and others roughly found out the current status of the city. After multiple verifications and confirmation that this was indeed the truth, Ino was still a little unbelievable.
"It's understandable to monopolize knowledge." She smacked her lips, her eyes falling on the towering towers of various mage towers, "But can we achieve this step just by monopolizing knowledge? Knowledge will be passed down after all!"
"Yes, knowledge will always be passed on." Thalia also nodded, "If you learn knowledge in Antasil, can't you pass it on to others after you leave? Isn't it even possible to teach others knowledge here?
no?"
"Knowledge is difficult to monopolize, but mages can." Karya thought for a while, and soon came up with a rough guess, "Just get a certification. As long as you want to do it, there is always a way."
"If you are certified, you will be a Dharma Controller, but if you are not certified, you will be a demon-contaminated person?" Ino gave a not very appropriate example, "And then you are specifically preparing to search for demons?"
"This is just the most direct method." Kalya shook his head and said, "Isn't it better to issue a protection order to the certified mage to protect his gathering place from being directly attacked."
"Using the bloodline concept of the Southern Shurima people." Ino nodded, "This does seem to be more advanced."
"It's a pity that the people outside the mage tower don't understand many things clearly enough. Even though many of them even work in the tower, they are completely different from the mages in the tower..."
"Yes." Ino was convinced of this point. "There are no slaves in South Shurima, but I always feel that except for mages, everyone here is a slave."
There are not many places to explore in Antasil City - the essence of the entire city is in those few standing mage towers, including Xerath and Azir.
However, it is not an easy task to enter the Mage Tower.
According to Shabeka and Shabek, although there are windows on the mage tower, they are just traps. If you really enter through the skylight rashly, you will only end up falling into a trap.
In addition, after many observations, Ryze also perceived the spatial characteristics of the Mage Tower itself that could not be concealed.
"The construction area in the tower is very amazing." Ruiz looked at ease when he mentioned this topic, "Or it is simply a sub-plane - it is most likely related to the power of runes."
This is the last thing Ryze wants to see.
Being able to use world runes to tear apart space and create sub-dimensions not only shows the power of the world runes in Xerath's hands, but also shows that he himself is quite experienced in the use of world runes.
Even if the previous battle against Nasus and Thalia was unfavorable, there may be some objective reasons.
In this case, the difficulty of the next battle may escalate a lot!
"It seems that Xerath has not completely failed to utilize the power of the World Rune." Unlike Ryze, Karya didn't seem nervous when he realized this. Instead, he praised, "The World Rune
Wen's power is huge and difficult to use, and he will lose control if he is not careful, so he created a sub-plane and hid it... This idea is really interesting!"
"Now is not the time to praise your opponents." Ryze shook his head and said, "Next we must determine the internal situation of these mage towers - if each mage tower exists alone, then the trouble will be really big."
"It's very possible." Kalya still looked extremely relaxed, "Didn't you find out which city center has the largest mage tower and the strongest spatial resonance?"
Kalya's attitude, as if he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, finally made Ritz couldn't help but shake his head and stopped talking.
……………………
In fact, it is not difficult to enter the mage tower to explore.
Theoretically, these mage towers welcome any outside mages to enter and communicate. Xerath even generously posted a notice recruiting foreign mages, detailing the preferential treatment for outsiders.
But the problem is, anyone who knows it with his knees knows that entering the Mage Tower through "regular channels" must be inspected, and once inside the Mage Tower, it will be a situation where people are fighting for their own good. Shabeka and Shabek are so capable.
The Ascended Ones who ran had no room to resist.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It seems that nothing is right no matter how you enter the Mage Tower.
Faced with this embarrassing situation, Nasus simply suggested that he should stand up and be a bait.
"I stand up and show my identity, Xerath will not sit idly by and watch!"
"Yes, he won't just sit idly by and just control the mage tower to fire." Kalya nodded, his mask full of approval, "You have been hiding and studying for so many years, have you been reading novels, not even a little bit of magic theory?
If you haven’t read it, open your eyes and see what the magic circuits on the outer walls of these mage towers are for!”
Nasus took a deep breath and tried hard not to look at the [Approval] and [Support] floating across Kalya's mask like a barrage.
"Thalia!" Seeing Nasus turn his head, Kalya finally snorted and turned off the special effects of his mask. "What do you think the magic circuit on the outer wall of this mage group does?"
"Is it extraction, compression, stabilization, oscillation, release?" Squinting her eyes and circling the mage group in front of her twice, Thalia quickly gave the answer, "There are also some general circuits that cannot be seen.
"
"What is the function of the release loop?"
"Release magic power, causing damage or shaping depending on the release channel."
"Did you hear that, Nasus?" Kalya snorted, "Use your dog's head to think about whether these mage towers are engineering towers or defense towers!"
Nasus wisely remained silent, and secretly murmured in his heart that Teacher Kalya must have suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and always forgot that his Ascended form was a jackal, not a dog's head.
Seeing that Nasus finally gave up his stupid idea, Kalya expressed his thoughts.
"Whether you enter or not, the Mage Tower is not safe."
"If you go in, you will be sent to your door. The other party can mobilize enough people to besiege and activate internal defense. If necessary, they can even destroy the mage tower."
"If we don't go in, the Mage Tower can rely on the power of the world's runes to launch continuous bombardments on us. There is no way we can withstand this kind of consumption."
Having said this, Kalya paused slightly.
"Then what should we do?" Ruiz asked at the right time, "We can't just sit back and watch."
"According to the enemy's rules, it is impossible for us to outplay each other." Satisfied with Ryze's praise, Kalya nodded happily, "So, we may be able to find another way, ignore these mage towers and go directly to the sub-dimensional!
"
As soon as he said this, everyone else's eyes widened in disbelief.
Bypassing the mage tower and going directly to the secondary plane?
How is this possible?
Although entering the secondary plane is sometimes as simple as walking through a door in space and entering a house, that presupposes that there is such a door.
If there is no entrance to the sub-plane, then the only way to enter this house is to cut through the wall - and due to the special nature of the space, outsiders do not know where the inside of the house is, and the wall is cut without knowing where to go, which is aimless.
If we act accordingly, the result will only be to destroy the stability of space, cause space to collapse, and then be shattered by space turbulence.
Therefore, it is simply impossible to bypass the mage tower and go to the secondary plane.
"Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible to bypass the entrance of the sub-plane and enter the sub-plane." Kalya seemed to be satisfied with everyone's expressions, "But coincidentally, our team is really satisfied with bypassing the entrance.
All the conditions - Ryze, if I give you a safe location, can you send everyone in?"
"Yes." Ryze looked at Kalya, "But it must be absolutely safe and the space must be stable."
"Don't worry, it's absolutely safe and the space is stable." Karya nodded, "I wonder if you have heard of the space nesting theory?"
"You plan to send the space container in?" Ruiz obviously has a lot of research on space magic. He immediately understood what Kalya meant, "Place a positioning beacon in the space container, and then send us in together!"
"Correct answer!" Kalya snapped her fingers happily, "As long as the positioning coordinates are set, the sub-plane is actually just that - Ryze, your theory is very solid. It seems that even if you are busy protecting
World Rune, I haven’t given up on theoretical study, it’s much better than a certain dog head..."
"Where is the space container?" Ryze ignored Kalya's words to ridicule Nasus, "The winding path jump requires a considerable degree of space stability. This is not a simple matter. I must check the stability of the space container in advance.
"
"Follow me."
……………………
After quickly leaving Antahir, in a deserted place outside the city, Kalya finally stopped.
"Okay, this is the perfect starting point for teleportation." After looking at the surrounding environment, Kalya showed a big smile on his mask, "Nasus, look at these guys!"
Just when Nasus was wondering who to watch, three figures suddenly appeared next to Kalya.
Everyone took a closer look, and even Ryze, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but be stunned.
These three guys...are clearly demons!
Kalya carries three demons with him?!
"Evelyn, the Demon of Pain." Kalya ignored Ryze's surprise and introduced the identities of the three demons to Nasus, "There is also Nocturne, the Demon of Nightmare, Ramo, the Hidden Demon—you
Remember how to fight the devil, right?"
"Pay attention to your emotions and don't resonate with the devil." Nasus nodded, "If your heart doesn't move, the devil won't move."
"Just remember." Kalya nodded, "Next, you have to go out of the city, keep an eye on these demons, and leave a way out for us."
"Nazerath——"
"This is a duel between mages. There is no room for you to play." Kalya interrupted Nasus, "Keep an eye on these demons and save Ryze's spatial positioning coordinates. This is the most important task!"
Kalya's tone became serious.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although Nasus was quite unwilling to do so, he still straightened his body and nodded in agreement - after saying this, his withered body hung on his
On three demons.
"That's it." Kalya nodded, "Shyvana, you must keep an eye on them when you are here with Nasus!"
Shyvana nodded silently.
"It's much easier." Kalya twisted his neck, "Now, Ryze can come and see if this space container is stable enough."
Saying that, Kalya put one hand on Ryze's shoulder.
"Don't resist!"
The world is spinning.
When Ryze regained consciousness, he was already in a patch of yellow sand.
"Is this your space container?" Ryze looked at everything around him, "What kind of spell is this? Can I test the stability?"
"Of course." Kalya suddenly appeared next to him, "Despite the test, if it is beyond my tolerance, I will tell you directly."
"good!"
Just as he was told, Ryze's skin soon lit up with arcane radiance, and a material and invisible ripple in space centered on him and rippled out to the surroundings.
"Continue." Next to Ryze, Kalya leaned back, and a recliner underneath him held him firmly. "This level of spatial oscillation is not a problem at all."
"good."
Ryze nodded and increased the intensity of the space oscillation.
There is still no fluctuation in the space.
Even when Ryze tried to perform a wave of winding jumps inside the space, Kalya still felt no pressure.
"How did you do it?" After the teleportation, Ryze felt the stable space around him, and finally there was a hint of disbelief in his tone, "Such a stable internal space, and it's not a sub-plane..."
"Want to learn?" Kalya put away the recliner and stood in front of Ryze, "I'll teach you!"
