This impressive academic exchange finally came to an end at night.
Silver-carved candlesticks illuminated the hall, and dinner began. During this period, guests who participated gradually left, and the remaining people were talking to each other at the dining table.
The conversation still focused on the two things in the afternoon, one was about the cold disaster, and the other was about the 'dawn era' mentioned by the elf man.
"Malantha seems to be very interested in the idea of Twilight Era."
Sitting next to Lorraine Hill, Vistena sandwiched her favorite fruit with bread and whispered while eating.
Lorranthil ate the slightly sweet grape soft cake, raised his eyes and looked at the scene in the distance. Malantha was having a lively conversation with the elf man from before.
"However, I am not optimistic about Ikes' idea."
As she said that, Vestina continued to comment on the man who was talking to Marantha. It was he who proposed the idea of the 'Dawn Era' at the afternoon exchange meeting.
"Why?" Lorraine Hill was slightly curious.
"Because Ikes has left a bad impression on me in the past." Vestina talked about her early experiences in the academy. Although she was not in the same class as Ikes, she was not far from him. She had heard about it in school.
There are many rumors about Ikes.
"That guy is a very frivolous person. He deceived several very good girls when he was in school. After graduation, he resorted to various means to stay in the Emerald Garden so that he can easily get in touch with big shots."
"Then I heard about him again because he was accused of plagiarism when he published academic results. Although this incident was not deprived of his position due to insufficient evidence, it also made many people doubt his ability and character.
"
"Then he was ostracized and had to find a very senior master to study under him. He remained silent for several years before his bad image in the past was gradually forgotten."
"To be honest, I just don't like people like this. If you want to say I'm biased, there's really nothing you can do about it." Vestina shook the glass in her hand and drank the refreshing fruit wine.
"Geez, there are people like this in Westena who are annoying." Lorraine Hill smiled, and then took a closer look at the two people in the distance.
"He said at the exchange meeting before that he has discovered ancient technology in recent years and can restore the floating city of the past. Is this true?"
"Well, I have to admit that his eloquence is indeed good, and his descriptions are attractive. Otherwise, he would not have deceived several girls back then."
"If this technology can really be realized, what results will it bring?" The girl turned her head and looked at Vestina.
"It will probably change the world, but it's not that easy. I also know a few masters who have been focusing on excavating ancient ruins all year round, and I have communicated with them."
"The knowledge system of ancient people is completely different from ours. Many things seem to have similar principles, but it is very troublesome to actually restore them. In particular, we cannot understand how they can freely manipulate such complex large structures. Do they all rely on people?
, how much does it cost, and all kinds of problems can occur if you are not careful."
"Even in the most prosperous Mercury Dynasty, the proportion of necromancers is only 2%. In other words, two out of a hundred people are necromancers. This is already the limit of the Mercury Dynasty."
"Floating cities in the sky require energy consumption. If the enchantment array is inscribed, even if the consumption can be reduced, various supplements will be needed. This requires a large number of extraordinary people. And how to control the buoyancy of the floating device so that it can be consistent?
Otherwise, one part of the sky city will fly high and run away, and the other part will fly low and lose its strength, which will cause the internal structure to pull and loosen over time. How to eliminate the stress and how to obtain a powerful force in the sky?
Pushing, moving cities with it, is troublesome."
"It seems that the floating city is just a huge stone and anti-gravity device, but this is different from airships. Once the number increases, you will encounter various problems." Vestina said about the problems and problems discovered in the academic circle in recent years.
Puzzled.
"Indeed, it's very troublesome." Lorraine Hill lowered his head and ate his dinner.
Ancient people not only had extraordinary skills, they also had the assistance of industrial systems, electronic computer technology, and artificial intelligence, so they could maximize the effects of extraordinary power.
Individually, perhaps the extraordinary beings in this world are not weaker than the people in the ancient twilight era, but as a whole, they are far behind.
Lorraine Hill recalled the information obtained from the ruins in the past, which recorded some construction plans for large-scale floating cities, including many excellent cases, multi-layer structures, modular structures, AI management plans, etc., in the middle and late Twilight Era,
A floating city is a complete small ecological circle that is self-sufficient and full of changes, so that the humans living there can experience different scenarios without being too bored.
However, such a plan would not be of much use now. The foundation has not been laid yet, and many prerequisites still need to be implemented.
However, if it is only in the early dusk, the simplest and crudest floating city may be able to barely realize it. Such a floating city is not so much a city as a chain of floating islands, connecting the plates with iron cables.
, even internal communication requires small aircraft.
Let’s take a look at the reactions of the elves first. I believe that after today, some topics about the cold disaster and the future will quickly become popular in the Emerald Garden.
Will they be nervous about the cold disaster, or will they be full of curiosity and expectations for the new era, or will they be dismissive of both and let these two things sink to the bottom?
Lorraine Hill still doesn't fully understand the situation inside the forest elves, so it's not easy for him to speak suddenly and make loud announcements for the time being.
After dinner, the two people and many guests walked out of the circular hall and came outside.
The cool night wind carried water vapor and was slightly chilly. Some luminous boats sailed on the water, sending guests away one by one.
Just as the two of them were considering whether to fly back directly, a waiter rushed out in small steps.
"Two adults." His voice was a little urgent, but he also seemed a little nervous.
"Two adults, it's so late, have you decided on a place to rest in advance? In fact, Asara has prepared a place for you two."
"Oh, Asara is quite hospitable." Westena responded with a smile, and then looked at Lorraine Hill beside her.
"Would you like to go and see the place arranged for us by the faction leader of the Pelican Corolla?"
"Listen to Vistena. In fact, I can do it." Lorraine Hill looked at the hall behind the waiter, wondering where Lord Asara was staying.
"Then please two of you come with me." As he said that, he took out a piccolo from his waist and put it to his mouth to play.
Soon there was a sound of flapping wings in the sky, and several pelicans with thin silver chains hanging around their necks landed. Together they grabbed a half-human-sized metal creation.
After this metal creation fell into the water, it did not sink. Instead, it lay on the water and slowly unfolded, forming a small round platform like a lotus.
Afterwards, the waiter invited the two of them to board the shimmering metal lotus, and then floated to the far side of the lake, towards a hazy building on the water.
There, two figures were standing on the railing in the breeze. They seemed to be discussing something, and they seemed to be waiting for the arrival of Vistena and Lorraine Hill.
When approaching the palace that floated on the water and resembled a jellyfish, Vesterna also waved to the two of them.
"Asara, Bunis~" She called out their names.
"Welcome, our brave and wise, gentle and powerful sage Vesterna." As he said that, Asara also showed a smile to express his welcome.
It seems that the relationship between the two is very good. Even Lorraine Hill is inevitably curious and gossiping at this time, and his eyes are looking back and forth between the two.
"Just rest here tonight. In order to welcome your distinguished guest, I have asked people to check and clean it several times. I hope you will be satisfied."
"Oh haha~ Is Asara still so humble? It's really a bit surprising. Is it because I brought another guest today? Haha."
With that said, Vestena and Lorraine Hill jumped onto the building on the water and entered this relatively quiet platform.
