Archmage Buñeto stood next to a dilapidated ancient magic circle, his lips slightly opened and closed, and he recited incantations in a low voice, like the sound of chanting in an ancient palace, which was distant and profound. He raised his hand in vain, and the incantations flowed on his fingertips.
, weaving a magic that is profound, unpredictable and mysterious.
"It seems more difficult than expected." Archmage Buñeto looked serious and unsmiling. His good qualities prevented him from getting angry and losing his temper due to successive failures.
Although Archmage Buñeto was regarded as a genius by many people when he was young, and his arcane achievements continued to improve. However, among the ranks of mages, the word "genius" has long been devalued and devalued.
In the social life of ordinary people, those who are considered child prodigies may not be able to master fourth- and fifth-level arcane arts throughout their lives. To be able to become a mage, "genius" is just one of the qualities. If you do not have enough talent and intelligence,
Without adequate training and cultivation, without in-depth study and thinking, it is simply impossible to reach the threshold of a high-level mage.
Which mage does not practice spell chanting day and night? Which mage does not repeat spell-casting gestures whenever he has free time? Which mage does not open the spell book before going to bed and wake up and memorize it carefully? Which mage does not spend countless time, effort and wealth to study the working mechanism of arcane magic?
?
Genius? Diligence? For a mage, this is the two legs for walking and the mouth for eating, which is the most natural thing!
On this basis, the rational thinking and calm judgment cultivated are the excellent qualities of a mage. They are not disturbed by emotions and are not blinded by short-term gains and losses. This is what Master Buñeto has always warned himself and his students, but
Even for the legendary mage himself, it is a test that will accompany him throughout his life.
Archmage Buñeto used five methods in succession to try to isolate powerful and stable energy from the deep crystal, but all failed. After the continuous failure, Archmage Buñeto also changed from impatient at the beginning to calm.
wide awake.
"There is no need to be too impatient. The more I act like this, the easier it is for me to be controlled by Nazarui." Archmage Buñeto muttered: "Why don't you think about it seriously, is the floating city really necessary for me?"
It is true that the world situation is changing drastically nowadays. Nazarui turned the false god of the Immovable Ice Land into an arcane energy core to create a floating city. The Kingdom of Ansel also has a floating city built with the help of mountain dwarves. Even
The Emerald Ring, which was extinct back then, now has a Storm Palace condensed from natural magic, which can also be regarded as a floating city.
But what exactly is the function of the floating city? If you really want to build a magic city, then just find a magic spring and energy gathering field, and you can still operate and develop it for a long time.
The real purpose of the floating city is that it can ignore the dangers on the ground, fly in the air for a long time, and can carry a large amount of manpower, or in other words, military violence. Therefore, the floating city is closer to a combat core platform than a simple magic city.
It was born with military purposes, used for the Eye of Mystery's external expansion and to safeguard interests beyond national borders.
From this point of view, the status of the mages who own the floating city in the future in the Eye of Mystery is more similar to that of warlords or lords and nobles. Even if the floating city cannot be completely self-sufficient, it will still require a large amount of logistical supplies from the outside world. But the floating city is controlled by
In the hands of a mage, it is destined to have stronger independence and deterrence capabilities.
Just imagine, when a mountain-like city overlooks the ordinary country on the ground, even if the ruler has a firm will, most civilians may not be able to withstand this kind of oppression.
Even the high mage of the Eye of Mystery, like Verrui of New Camelot City, had a group of high-level warriors in black armor and four adamantine golems under his command, which would have been enough to run rampant. But when they saw Russia
Prince Ge's floating city was also frightened on the spot.
However, back in New Camelot City, Archmage Buñeto drove a magic ship to contain the floating city of Prince Auger. At that time, he had already begun to think about how to deal with the floating city.
Even if Nazarui promised himself to provide him with the technology to build arcane energy cores and floating cities, Buñeto would not believe it so easily. There is no integrity between mages, only endless calculations and conspiracies.
Taking into account Nazarui's actions over the years, and the fact that Doragon's departure has shaken the foundation of the Eye of Mystery, Buñeto is convinced that Nazarui will not have any trust in other legendary mages of the Eye of Mystery.
Inner guarding and defensiveness.
Now that the deep-sea squid has completely merged with Loyev City, it is extremely difficult to extract its soul. However, he does not have enough manpower to completely control Loyev City. The subsequent grand strategy for the southern route of the Mutual Protection Alliance will require a large amount of manpower.
, this is far beyond what Buñeto’s students and followers can support.
Thinking of this, Archmage Buñeto has already begun to consider stopping losses as soon as possible:
"In the current situation, if you don't want to be controlled by Nazarui, you have to invest a lot of resources to make arcane energy cores. In the future, you have to compete with Nazarui, who has more abundant human, financial and material resources, to compete with the quantity and quality of the floating city. Instead of that,
Instead of wasting energy and time on a path destined to fall behind, it is better to think about it from another angle."
The floating city is very good, and from the perspective of ordinary people, it is full of intimidation. However, for a legendary mage like Buñeto, Nazarui's arcane energy core production skills, and his exploration from the elves
The unique mystery lock technology is the real focus.
As for the floating city itself, if something goes wrong internally, or if it flies into the Dead Magic Zone or the Crazy Magic Zone, it will still cause an accident or fall. At that time, the massive investment and construction in the floating city will all disappear, and the losses will be
Extremely huge.
If it is just to build a floating city, Archmage Buñeto also has enough capital, but that does not mean that he can sit back and watch the risks and losses indifferently. If he considers that in the future he will serve Nazarui, who is already wary of himself...
"Everyone, stop what you are doing and gather on the magic ship."
Bunieto no longer hesitated and immediately used a teleportation spell to give orders to the students and accompanying mages in Loev City. Not long after, a string of teleportation spells of light flashed one after another on the deck of the magic ship in mid-air.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Nazarui lay on the beach chair, showing off his good figure without any secret, staring at the dozens of mages headed by Buñeto, and asked with a smile: "Deep sea squid's
Hasn't the soul been extracted yet? You are counting on it for the approval of your arcane magic."
"No need." Buñeto stared at Nazarui and said, "After careful consideration, now is not the time to build a floating city."
Nazarui stood up and asked with a slightly serious expression: "Now is not the time? What is the current situation and what is the situation? You, Archmage Buñeto, don't know about it, right? And you have prepared the 'Mountain Chopping Technique' before.
ritual items, and now you say you don’t need the floating city?”
"Since the deep-sea squid no longer exists, and the arcane energy core is destined to be incomplete, there is no need to build a floating city," Buñeto said.
"Why should Archmage Buñeto jump to conclusions?" Nazarui stood up and said, "Arcane energy cores cannot only be transformed from deep-sea squid. But any being with immortality can produce arcane energy cores."
nuclear."
"I know what you want to say." Buñeto said: "You secretly funded the Centaur for decades to allow them to achieve internal unification, and then took advantage of the cooling climate to promote the Centaur's large-scale attack on the empire, causing long-term
The wars and confrontations. It is nothing more than trying to use the faith of the centaurs to bring the gods they believe in closer to the main material plane, so that you can capture them more conveniently. Oh, the green orcs are in a similar situation, right?"
Nazareth clapped softly, came to the edge of the magic ship, and looked down at Loyev City: "Actually, after these years of research, I found that these immortal beings from other worlds, and the planes they are in, are also influenced by ancient times.
The influence of the giant's 'ladder of ascent'. Certain appropriate means and guidance can bring them closer to the main material plane. If possible, ancient giant ruins can also be used to capture these immortal beings in batches."
"Nazarui, are you too arrogant?" Buñeto said: "According to your research, these immortal beings appeared long before the war between ancient giants and dragons. If it weren't for the obstacles between planes and various
For a specific reason that has yet to be discovered, these immortal beings can set foot on the main material plane at any time.
Based on their long accumulation, they must have extremely strong strength. Where can you capture it at will? A casta requires your cooperation with Shadowan and the entire Rainbow City. Is Shadowan still willing to join forces with you now?
And do you think you can really make full use of Loev City?"
"Are you questioning my ability?" Nazarui asked.
"This is a necessary quality for a mage. I have no reason to have unconditional trust in your personal ability." Buñeto said.
Nazarui crossed his arms and turned around and said, "In the future, I may not give priority to Archmage Buñeto for the allocation of arcane energy cores. Are you sure you really want to do this?"
"Didn't you agree to Ous' Vanua Restoration Action? Just let me take charge of this matter." Buñeto responded: "I'm just curious, can the floating city solve all problems?"
Nazareth nodded with a half-smile and said, "Okay, then I won't disturb Archmage Buñeto's business."
After saying this, Nazarui turned around, and a mage's robe appeared out of thin air, covering her upper body. Nazarui, who looked like a noble female mage, floated away from the magic ship and fell towards the city of Loev below.
Buñeto's expression was serious and cold, and the words burst out from his mouth: "Let's go!"
…
"He's really gone."
Nazareth kept his feet on the ground and looked up at the magic ship that had flown away. Buñeto's giving up was somewhat beyond his expectation, but if he put himself in his shoes, he probably wouldn't want his important future wealth and property to be controlled by others, right?
No one knows the habits and thoughts of the legendary mage better than Nazarui. Since Bunieto refuses to surrender to himself, he is destined to be excluded from the core power. Restoring Vanua is purely a matter of effort.
A lot of hard work with little reward. Buñeto is so unmotivated and has only one country in his sights, which means that the resources and manpower that can be mobilized in the future will be difficult to pose a threat to himself.
This is fine. If he really controls a floating city, his scope of influence will far exceed the territory of an ordinary country. When the time comes, he will still have to deal with his little tricks. Vanua can just treat him as a piece of moldy bread as a reward.
Nazareth has never felt so happy. He is a person who loves fighting. The failure of others is his happiness.
Since the failure of New Camelot City, both Nazarui himself and the Eye of Mystery as a whole are in urgent need of a success to replenish morale and unite people. Now that they occupy Loev City, it is not only the mystery of becoming a god.
It is right in front of you, and you can connect different planes through Loyev City, capture those immortal beings, and create more arcane energy cores and floating cities.
In addition, the southern route that the Pentagram Tower has operated for many years will also be blocked due to the intervention of the Mysterious Eye. Similarly, Doragon and the Nahasa Chiefdom have also fallen under their control. Those who betrayed themselves
, will surely receive the most brutal punishment!
"Ah~ This body is too sensitive. Just thinking about such happy things makes me very wet... It seems that I will have to adjust it later." The noble female mage's legs went weak and she murmured to herself with a sneer.
At this time, messages from other mages came to my ears: "Your Excellency Nazarui, the magic circle and spell tower in the city have been adjusted."
"Okay, according to the plan, turn on the wide-area anti-teleportation force field, and adjust the force field wall to shield mode."
Accompanying Nazarui's words, the newly erected incantation obelisks in the city lit up with arcane blue light, and the invisible power that prevented transmission quickly extended outward like waves, and at the same time, it pushed away the ring-shaped force field of large swaths of sea water.
The walls gradually gathered together, forming a thick force field shield like a large bowl turned upside down, which could not be destroyed by the "disintegration technique", firmly protecting the entire city of Loyev.
Looking up at the vast ocean water covering and flowing, Nazarui was also admiring this wonderful scenery. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably worry about whether the invisible force field shield above his head could block the sea water.
"Okay, next..." Nazarui was about to concentrate on conducting in-depth exploration of Loyev City, when an alarm suddenly came from the effect of his "early warning spell".
Nazareth frowned, but he did not notice any danger approaching him. He secretly used magical objects to conduct prophecy detection, and did not find any enemies or attacks nearby.
"Could it be..." Nazarui was startled. From the corner of his eye, he saw the gravel on the ground begin to vibrate at an unnatural high frequency. He heard a murmur in his ears, which seemed to be entering his mind.
"Cancel anti-teleportation immediately——"
Nazarui immediately noticed the abnormality and activated the communication spell, but found that when he spoke, there was no sound at all.
In an instant, the entire Loyev City erupted with a devastating trembling scream, and the air within the force field shield was directly ignited. However, the Mysterious Eye mages stationed in Loyev City could not see it at this moment, because they
Their heads exploded one after another amidst the screams of destruction, and colorful blood flowers blossomed.
The clone of Nazareth was about to activate "Time Stop", but the magic energy collapsed in chaos. In unwillingness and shock, a pair of eyes flew out of the exploded brain, witnessing the complete destruction of the city of Loyev.
