Chapter 123: The upcoming replacement of the position of Dragon King
The reconstruction of Helfas City is nearing the advanced stage.
However, after the transformation, fewer people stayed in the city, and many people moved to the surrounding towns, along with many ordinary buildings and facilities within them.
As a result, those towns turned into a ring-shaped bustling city.
Outside the city of Helfas is a high wall, and the original city gate has been turned into a sealed steel gate. Looking up from the town outside the city, the dark high wall looks like a monster, enveloping the inside.
It's so watery that it can't drain out.
And every day, no matter it is day or night, there will always be various loud sounds of gold and iron coming from inside the high wall.
"Dong dong dong!"
"哐哐哐."
That was when dragon professionals and demon hunters were conducting final inspections and repairs on the city. If you could get past the high wall, you could see that the buildings inside had become more concise and neat.
Spacious streets, neat street lights, iron towers, square and tall houses with flat roofs.
There are also square squares divided into squares, each of which is planted with a huge "fire tree" and a strange tree with a few red leaves growing on the top.
At first glance, it looks like a small forest.
In fact, they are the Evil Eye Fire Tree and the Bipolar Demonic Insect.
The "Fire Tree" itself is a huge energy source that continuously releases firepower. The black steel furnace connected under the "Fire Tree" was originally used to refine black iron, but recently most of this firepower is directed to all corners of the city.
As energy to transform the city.
Of course, it is also used for heating, cooking, etc.
I have to say that this is really an incredible "city of divine secrets" for the Land of the Full Moon and the entire dragon world.
Unfortunately, this city of the future will leave here soon.
Built from the ground up.
It is destined not to belong to the human world.
Central Library.
Bookshelf after shelf moved automatically, and Helfas stood at the deepest part of those bookshelves, talking to the night light, while also looking at the "Structural Map of Helfas City" on the wall.
Night Light: "The floating power system is based on several Evil Eye Fire Trees as its core, combined with biphasic demon bugs, lava bugs and other similar powers. At present, it can basically cover the entire city, but it has not been tested yet.
After all, once the floating power system is used, the entire city will lose weight, and it will cause a very terrible disaster if we are not careful. Even though we have reinforced and renovated all the buildings and made preparations in each residential area, it has not been verified after all.
.”
Helfas nodded: "Then we will find an opportunity to verify it and make all preparations to prevent accidents and casualties."
Night Light went on to say: "The path to advance the sealed objects of Filter Mirror Demon - Bright Mirror Shield - Cloud Umbrella has been explored and perfected. The Basel family has already cultivated many filter mirror demons before, and now they are all
We have already brought them here, and we have upgraded several of them into bright mirror shields, but the number is still not enough, and it will be difficult to protect the entire city."
"You also know that the cultivation and advancement of sealed artifacts is not something that can be accomplished in just a few decades."
This is indeed the case. If a third-level sealed artifact is cultivated from the first level, a demon hunter family will need to cultivate and transcend it for more than three hundred years.
The stories, family history, and relays passed down from generation to generation are enough to write a masterpiece full of time and epic feeling.
But of course many things cannot be calculated like this. Many sealed objects have already been accumulated when they were sealed, and they are not really starting from scratch.
Helfas said: "Get ready first. Later I will mobilize some Sky Path professionals to control these sealed objects. There should be no problems by then."
Night Light: "Are the professionals of Sky Path in the Birdman World?"
Night Light already knew about the world of Birdman, but he still knew nothing about the professional weather fortune teller of Sky Path.
Helfas: "You'll know when the time comes."
Night Light nodded: "Then prepare to equip the Sky Umbrella first!"
Helfas asked: "In terms of living and living, there are still some differences in the sky. My plan is that in the future Helfas City will become a common city and connecting hub for the bird world and the dragon world. These issues must be
It needs to be taken into consideration.”
Night Light said: "We have already considered it, don't worry!"
Helfas asked again: "What about the Ladder Tower?"
Night Light said: "Already preparing."
Regarding the Ladder Tower, that is another thing.
It’s not the end of raising the city of Helfas to the Sky Ladder. It’s just a hub connecting the two worlds. What’s more important next is how to send things and people to Helfas in the Sky Ladder.
Inside the city, and how to transport things down from Helfas City in the Sky Ladder.
The Ladder Tower is exactly what was built for this purpose.
All in all, it seems like there are countless things to do.
Once many things begin, they cannot end in a few years or decades, or even over a period of more than a hundred years.
But watching everything gradually change in my eyes.
Very interesting too.
——
In these twelve years.
The construction of Helfas City has reached its end from the late stage.
Walking in the city, you can see that the tops of tall iron towers have mirrors that shine into the sky. The tallest iron towers surrounding the city center are inlaid with several mirror shields that can condense the light into columns.
On the top of a building, the Bronze Dragon King Saren and Night Lantern were present.
Helfas raised an umbrella into the sky from the Central Library, only to see the umbrella gradually float up, and then the figure continued to expand, and the transparent film extended, swimming like the skirt of a jellyfish in the city.
Sky.
Along with it, there is also a huge amount of smoke gas.
The giant umbrella is also affecting other objects on the tower. You can see that the mirrors on the tower are also releasing huge amounts of smoke gas, integrating with the giant umbrella.
The giant umbrella continued to expand and finally faintly covered the sky.
That is the so-called "Umbrella in the Sky".
The huge thing composed of the filter mirror demon, the bright mirror shield and the cloud umbrella covers the city like a layer of filter light film.
What's even more strange is that they also created clouds. Looking at the low clouds floating above the head, a strange feeling surged into my heart.
They can protect the city from intrusion, filter or concentrate light to affect the temperature in the city, and may also have some other uses in the future.
Helfas created the "simulated sky system" of the city, then looked at the night light and said.
"Let's start testing the floating power system!"
After setting up the night lights, I immediately saw the evil eye fire trees in various squares moving.
The huge fire tree began to melt and turned into balls of crimson flame energy, which then penetrated from the ground little by little and completely entered the interior of the black steel furnace.
The Biphasic Demonic Insects also followed and got into it, and the lava insects also started to move at the bottom of the city.
Their power is intertwined with the network of black steel furnaces and spreads to every corner of the city.
"Buzz!"
Helfas held the sealed book and closed his eyes.
His consciousness connected to the entire city in an instant, and the city came to life.
He could feel the black steel furnace beating like his heart, the flames and electricity rushing through his veins like blood, the metallic ground being his flesh and skin, and the buildings and facilities being his organs.
The black iron dragons living in the city are like the working cells that maintain the city.
Just as Helfas expected, this city is the new life template of the Sealed Book, another movable body. He can control everything in this city with a single thought.
He holds the sealed book in his hand and activates the city.
Bronze Dragon King Saren also stood beside Helfas, witnessing with his own eyes how he controlled the city.
"This is the real city of life."
"Metals are flesh and blood, machines are organs."
He seemed to have some realization.
At this moment, everyone in the entire city of Helfas was on standby.
They live in that square high-rise house in Pingding. No one appears on the street. They fix their bodies or the straps on their clothes to something, and the same goes for other things in the house. It seems that
Making some preparations for what's next.
Soon, their preparation was put to the test.
They felt their bodies floating up, and the shoes, fallen hair, and dust on the ground beside them also began to rise.
This experience makes people feel a strong sense of uneasiness, but it is also very novel.
"Floating."
"It's really floating."
"so amazing!"
"It doesn't feel very dangerous, does it?"
"Such a terrible thing to say."
Everyone exclaimed, the family in the room clung to the seats that fixed themselves, and the craftsmen in the workshop clung to the steel pipes beside them.
After exclaiming, they observed this phenomenon with some excitement and excitement, feeling as if their bodies were about to float.
But they didn't know what kind of catastrophic scene would be caused by the sudden loss of gravity if they were not prepared.
They may be thrown into the sky and then fall down on the road, or they may be bumped around the room in flesh and blood, or they may be smashed into a ball of rotten flesh by something floating from elsewhere.
However, it seems that the preparations for the night light are still going well.
And in the "Ring City" outside.
It actually doesn't have an official name yet, but many people already call it that.
The rich iron ore underground in the past has been completely exhausted after years of mining. However, these towns no longer rely on iron ore for their livelihoods. They have various other systematic sealed artifacts, even if they don't have them.
Helfas City itself can still have a strong foundation and the ability to produce resources.
However, they can still survive even if they leave Helfas City, but their affection and dependence on this city are unimaginable.
In particular, this city has built high walls, and everyone says that it will enter the divine realm in the sky.
then.
This urgent feeling became even more intense.
No one wants to leave this city, and no one wants to follow this city to the divine realm in the sky.
People in the ringed city would always make such comments whenever they raised their heads and saw the walls and the city.
"When will it ascend to heaven?"
"It should be soon!"
"It's been more than thirty years."
"Climbing up secretly, can I follow the Black King to the God's Domain?"
"It's not that simple."
Take a look at the monster-like city wall and you will know that you can just think about climbing up secretly.
At this time, the people in the ring city noticed the changes within the high wall. A huge umbrella in the sky covered the entire city, and there were even clouds floating inside the wall.
Immediately afterwards, the fire trees in the city disappeared.
Then, the entire city of Helfas made a terrifying sound, as if a monster was roaring and roaring, accompanied by a violent buzzing sound.
The earth trembled, and the water in the moat outside the city continued to splash and stir.
More and more people gathered on the other side of the river. Looking at the city where all the movement came from, some were at a loss, and some seemed to have guessed something.
"The city is floating, it's floating." Those who had guessed something, stared intently at Helfas City, and finally found what they wanted to find. The city was floating a lot higher, and they revealed that it was indeed like this.
expression, but he couldn't help but stumble in shock when he spoke.
"No way!" At this time, almost the entire ring city people ran to the other side of the river, crowded together and looking at the other side of the moat, standing on tiptoes and pointing at the other end.
"Is this great city really going to fly into the sky? Can we still see it in the future?" There was disappointment in their eyes because they could not go up, but there was also expectation and excitement because they saw something unprecedented.
One scene.
"We are leaving now, is this too sudden?" Across a river, Helfas City over there has begun to lift off the ground, even if it is very slow, but everyone is very excited.
But the whole process didn't last long.
The city of Helfas only rose a few meters and fell back down again.
Everyone was confused and some looked at each other in confusion.
"Is this a failure?" Some people were a little frustrated, and some were in disbelief.
"How is it possible? This should be a preview." But more people seemed to understand something.
"No wonder it's so sudden." Everyone suddenly realized.
"But it looks like it should be soon." The preview has already started, so the time for the official departure should be almost around the same time.
"God's Realm, God's Realm is right in front of you, the sky is right in front of you." Someone was kneeling on the ground and shouting wildly, like a crazy believer.
"Find a place to climb up. I want to leave with you." Some young people whispered, and some of them were really eager to try.
Top of the Central Library.
Helfas closed his eyes and quietly felt the situation in every corner of the city, as if he was feeling whether there was any problem with his body after a strenuous exercise.
I have to say that there are indeed some problems.
For example, the structure of the entire city is not strong enough and perfect, and it looks a bit bloated, like a fat man who weighs 800 pounds and is covered with fat (black iron). If he moves a few times, his whole body will creak and make noises, like
It's like it's about to collapse at any time.
And it is not that easy to exercise the muscles (black steel) for a while. You can only strengthen them step by step later, and finally turn into a strong and strong man.
But for the current stage, ascending into the Sky Ladder is enough.
Helfas opened his eyes, told Night Light what to adjust next, and finally set a date.
"that's all."
"Get ready to lift it to the sky!"
——
Although the preview was successful and the date for the official ascent to the Sky Staircase was determined, Helfas was still a little worried.
What worried him was naturally the sacrifices. He didn't know if what he had prepared was enough.
He wrote about the ritual sacrifice of the Sky Ladder,
"Dead objects and ordinary people do not need to sacrifice or pay the price."
"Transcendents, sealed objects and extraordinary items must all be sacrificed."
It seems that it is quite harsh on beings with power.
Maybe this is also equivalent to a tax law where the rich pay more taxes and the poor don’t pay at all?
However, things that are difficult to implement in reality have been implemented in the Ladder of the Sky. Even if you want to pass this tax on to ordinary people, there is no way. Where do they get the extraordinary power and extraordinary items.
The result is that Helfas, who is currently the richest man in this extraordinary world, is forced to be careful with his money. He almost takes out the last coin in his pocket, but he still feels that it may not be enough.
Helfas made a list of the extraordinary items in the entire city and calculated the approximate sacrifices needed.
but.
Recently, the mythical weirdness of the sky path has spewed out clouds and mists many times, and he went to take a look at the ancient sky port where the clouds and mists condensed.
Inside that skyport, he found more records about the Sky Ladder and the sacrificial ceremony.
In addition to judging the value of the sacrificial objects, some things that have never appeared before, are very novel and unprecedented, will receive a premium that far exceeds their own value.
This can be said to be a gratifying thing for Helfas.
At this moment.
There was a mountain of sacrifices piled up outside the Central Library. Helfas had indeed prepared a lot of things, many of which were only available in this era and had never been sacrificed before.
And in an open space deep in the library, there is also something special placed.
For Helfas, this is a special sacrifice specially made by him.
A piano.
Helfas stepped forward and touched the cold and smooth surface of the black piano with his fingers. The polished mirror-like shell reflected the interior of the building and his shadow.
It is a very powerful sealed object and also a beautiful work of art.
"Black Piano."
[Level 3 Sealed Artifact·Black Piano]
[Ability 1 Silence Domain: The black piano can store the energy of sound. It can absorb all the sounds in the surrounding area and store it as a kind of energy, and the surrounding area will be turned into a Silence Domain zone. 】
[Ability 2 Sound Propagation: The black piano can amplify the sound of the performance to a certain extent, or spread it to a specific place very far away, and can freely control and adjust the propagation of the sound. 】
[Ability 3 Sonic Shock: Black Piano can cause powerful destructive power through the vibration of sound waves.]
[Ability 4 Echo Map: Where there is sound transmission, a map will automatically be formed deep in the consciousness of the black piano controller after the sound waves are fed back. ]
This is definitely a unique, one-of-a-kind thing, at least for now.
It originated from the prototype civilization machine of the Kingdom of God made by Helfas, but in a sense, the two are not much related. However, the black piano's ability and manufacturing method may be used in the future.
Used by black iron gantry.
Nowadays, dragons that use black steel furnaces and black steel electric lamps as their extraordinary organs have appeared. These dragons are also called furnace dragons and electric lamp dragons. In the future, there may be a black piano dragon.
Most of the Furnace Dragons have their own metal smelting workshops, which accumulate firepower. Most of the current black iron output in this land comes from them.
The electric lamp dragon looked at the street lamps in Helfas City and knew what most of them were used for. Naturally, they store and use electric energy.
However, if the black piano dragon appears again, imagine the image of sitting in front of the piano and controlling the sound energy with beautiful melodies. The originally rough and brutal dragon professional suddenly becomes elegant.
The ancient and mysterious dragon that existed thousands of years ago seems to have suddenly become in step with the times and kept up with the trend of the times in the new era.
Helfas was admiring the work of art he had made, when the shadow of the night light appeared behind him.
"Lord Helfas, Lord Saron is here."
Helfas turned his head, and the bookshelves moved away automatically to make way for him.
Bronze Dragon King Saronn walked in along the road and came to him.
Helfas: "Is something wrong?"
Salenn nodded: "There is something more important that I still want to talk to you about and listen to your opinion."
Helfas led Saron to the table in front of the fireplace, and the night light brought hot tea.
Salon thought for a while and then began to speak.
"recent."
"There's not much I can do anymore, and you've taught me a lot along the way."
"After you raise the city of Helfas into the ladder of the sky, I will concentrate on building my bronze city and follow you into it."
Helfas looked at Saronn without interrupting him.
After hesitating for a while, he continued.
"Next, I want to leave the position of Dragon King."
Helfas did not show any surprise, nor did he judge Saronn's idea of leaving the Dragon King's position.
He just asked: "Then what are your plans?"
Salonn: "Let Bahabali come, he should have almost accumulated enough, and it's time to wake up."
At that time, of course he will still be the Dragon King, but he will be a Dragon King on the road to becoming a god.
