I Ascend To the Throne of God with Arcane Magic - Chapter 387

Chapter 387 The Lost Floating City Underground

Pearl Sea,

The breeze blows gently on the blue sea, causing ripples and sparkling waves, like countless diamonds shining in the sun.

 In the vast sea, a lonely island lies quietly. This island seems to be a leftover pearl of nature, gently surrounded by the blue ocean.

In the center of the island, a raised hill stands proudly, with lush vegetation, lush trees and colorful wild flowers intertwined together, forming a beautiful natural picture. A gust of sea breeze blew by, rustling the leaves, accompanied by the crisp chirping of birds, which seemed to be the whisper of nature, adding a bit of vitality to this silent island.

 This small island in the sea has not been visited by anyone for an unknown amount of time, but today the tranquility was suddenly broken.

　　A dark gray shadow suddenly appeared on the beach beside the island. When the shadow dissipated, the figures of Lees and Joyce appeared on the beach.

Joyce looked at the island, which had not changed at all, and sighed in his heart.

Li Si is still feeling the special charm of [Shadow Jumping] in his heart.

 He has broken through to the gold level and can already try to master the powerful assassin skill [Shadow Leap].

Although [Shadow Jump] is not as simple and convenient as space teleportation, it is better at being stealthy and has better practical effects.

Joyce looked at Lisi without disturbing him.

After a while, Li Si raised his head and observed the small island in front of him.

Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking down, the deep and dark cave continues to spread underground.

Joyce on the side looked at Li Si’s movements with a smile and did not stop him.

 His spirits were lifted, were he finally reaching his destination?

“Of course, if it was discovered so easily, this floating city would not have been silent for so long.”

Li Si shook his head. The detection information fed back by his mental power showed that the island in front of him and the hills in the middle were all made of soil and rocks. There was nothing special except that the earth and water elements were more active.

 After exploring for a moment, Li Si took back his mental power.

Joyce did not appear to introduce him to Li Si, but silently moved forward downwards.

The two of them walked toward the hills in front of them, passed through the lush green jungle, and came to a small cave.

The two walked quietly downwards, their footsteps echoing in the quiet cave. Although there was no light source in the cave, it was no problem for Joyce and Lees, who had dark vision.

Upon seeing this, Li Si quickly followed. After leaving a spatial coordinate on the beach of the island, he followed Joyce.

 “How is it? Did you find anything?”

 Other than its extremely remote location, it seems to be just an ordinary small island in the sea.

Li Si calculated silently in his mind. When he had descended more than a hundred meters, the **** of the cave finally eased.

Joyce smiled slightly and walked towards the island hills.

 Is the floating city underground?

Li Si looked at it curiously and followed Joyce towards the cave.

“No.”

Li Si thought for a while and tried to use his mental power to spread towards the hills of the island in front of him. It was relatively easy for gold-level mental power to cover the island in front of him.

Li Si took a look at the small cave. It was more like a slender crack formed by the rupture of the rock layer than a cave.

The island is not very large, with an area of ​​only a few square kilometers. It seems that it is almost impossible to hide a floating city.

Is this the location of Azera’s floating city?

After passing through an extremely narrow gap sideways and continuing to walk dozens of steps forward, the figure of Joyce in front of Li Si suddenly disappeared into the air.

Li Si was silent for a moment, and walked straight forward without stopping.

Just when he passed the place where Joyce disappeared just now, Li Si had a vague feeling of passing through a transparent film.

 In the next moment, Li Si’s eyes suddenly became brighter.

At the same time, a new prompt came from Li Si’s system panel.

—

Ding~

  [You have entered a special secret realm [Lost Underground Floating City] (legendary level)! ]

  [It is detected that you have entered a special secret realm [Lost Underground Floating City], and the special mission is triggered! ]

　　[Accepted the legendary series mission [Inheritor of Azera]! ]

So, can you become the inheritor and take control of this most magnificent creation of human wisdom? ]

 [Legendary Series Missions (First Ring): Peripheral Exploration]

[Mission introduction: Countless time has passed, and Azera’s floating city is still operating relying on the abundant magic power of Mythra’s core. However, the outer buildings have been eroded by time and dilapidated, and the protective power has also been greatly weakened. Explore the surroundings of the floating city. Difficulty greatly reduced]

 [Task requirements: Explore the outer area of ​​Azera Floating City, and the exploration completion rate reaches more than 90%]

 [Task reward: 1,000,000 experience points, Azera floating city map, start the next phase of the task]

  [Current exploration level: 0%]—

Although the system prompt sounded, Li Si was no longer in the mood to care about this.

As soon as I walked out of the deep cave, my eyes suddenly opened up, as if I had stepped into another world.

In front of Li Si, an extremely huge hole lay across the ground. It was like a giant picture carefully carved by the hand of nature, full of vastness and mystery.

The hollow is like an inverted stone bowl. The rock wall has a smooth cross-section, as if the underground rock formation was suddenly completely swallowed up by a special force.

In the hollow, a blue floating city stood there quietly, with its lower part completely submerged in the deep sea water at the bottom of the hollow, like a bustling city on the water. The floating city is filled with light, and the stars are emitting a soft and mysterious light, as if the stars have fallen and turned into the lights of the city. These lights interweave into a gorgeous and colorful picture in the dark hollow, reflecting the floating city like a dream.

Is this the Azera Floating City?

The area of ​​this hollow is much larger than the island above. Li Si only made a rough estimate. The area of ​​the floating city in front of him is about the same as that of Dan Erluo Port.

Joyce and Lees, standing in the cracks of the rock wall, were like ants in front of this huge creature, inconspicuous.

Li Si looked at the floating city in front of him quietly, his mind shaking with it.

Feeling the tranquility and mystery brought by this silent floating city in front of me, I felt an inexplicable awe and yearning in my heart.

Huh~

After briefly calming down, Li Si quietly looked at the overall view of the Azela floating city in front of him.

The entire floating city is mainly composed of two parts. The middle part is a magic city built on an inverted mountain peak. This area is the main body of the floating city, occupying most of the area. You can vaguely see scattered buildings in a circular distribution. Guarding the core tower in the middle.

At the same time, there are eight more floating islands connected to the central floating city through huge bridges. The floating islands are symmetrically distributed, but the building facilities on them are different.

In the central core area of ​​the floating city, a blue tower stands majestically, making it the most eye-catching feature of the entire floating city. This tall tower is covered with a layer of azure crystal stone, faintly flashing with a faint magical aura, reflecting a gorgeous brilliance.

From bottom to top, there is a solid and broad tower base, a cylindrical multiple tower body, a pointed cone and a semicircular tower top. The structural design of the entire tower is ingenious and unique. From the base of the tower upwards, the tower body gradually narrows, forming an elegant streamlined design. It seems to be carved with complex magic runes, and there is a faint blue light flowing between the runes, as if There is life generally jumping and flickering. The spire of the tall tower is the most eye-catching. It is sharp and straight, as if it is going to reach the sky. A huge azure gem is inlaid on the top of the tower, shining with dazzling light, as if a real star is inlaid on the top of the tower, illuminating the entire hollow.

 Around the tower, there are many regular small buildings. The design of these buildings should have a special planning and layout. Although they are small, they are exquisitely designed and unified in style, forming a perfect echo with the tall tower at the core.

 There are eight floating islands symmetrically distributed around the floating city, with different characteristic buildings, all of which should have different uses.

Li Si could only recognize that the two symmetrical sky islands on the left and right sides should be the airport of this floating city. This port-like terminal design should be for flying ships to dock and board the floating city in this way.

 This information can only be obtained from the outside. The entire floating city looks more like an extremely luxurious and exquisite dream city, embodying the essence of human wisdom.

But it was enough to make Li Si’s heart surge, and he felt a little more anxious to master this floating city.

In addition to the bright blue gem on the tower of the floating city, there are many magical lights shining in the floating city. It seems that the floating city is still operating normally.

Li Si was suddenly startled when he thought of this, and turned his head to look behind.

 At the back is the place where he and Joyce walked, the same dark cave.

Li Si tried to take a few steps back. Sure enough, after having that inexplicable feeling again, the floating city in front of him suddenly disappeared, leaving only deep darkness.

Stepping forward again, Li Si almost guessed what was going on.

 It should be the camouflage and hiding ability of the floating city. The floating city in front of me should have been maintaining a hidden state, so my previous exploration did not yield any results.

Thinking about it, it is true that this is the power of the floating city after all, and it is impossible for a golden mage like me to see through it.

 In this way, my great-grandfather was really lucky to be able to discover this place.

If this were not the case, this floating city would not have stayed here for thousands of years, quietly telling of its past glory.

By the way, this special ability is the legendary [Mystery Lock].

[Mystery Lock] is a permanent magic barrier or realm created by legendary level spells. Legend has it that it is a high-level magic skill created by elves to protect certain specific existences. However, later on, this ability was not only mastered by elves. .

[Mystery Lock] The abilities in the enchantment are different. They are formed according to the different designs and structures of the creator when establishing the myth lock enchantment. Resident spells, updateable spells and certain spells can be set in the myth lock. However, The most important ability of Mysuo is the ability to be stealthy and invisible.

Just like what the floating city in front of you shows.

Although Li Si has learned the knowledge related to mystery locks from [Flame of Judgment], it is a pity that the teacher does not have more detailed content and construction methods.

  I didn’t expect to meet you here!

 “Little Li Si, how are you doing?”

Joyce looked at Li Si with a smile, and then said:

“When Brandon and I came here for the first time, we were shocked. I never thought that such a magnificent floating city would be under this small island.”

“Yes, I even felt a little bit insignificant when I saw it.”

Li Si nodded and did not hide his feelings.

Perhaps this is the spiritual impact brought by the spectacle?

 “Okay, let’s go!”

Joyce didn’t say anything, grabbed Li Si’s shoulders and dived into the shadows.

The next moment, Joyce and Lis’ figures appeared on a floating island on the left side of the floating city, which was the airport that Lis noticed before.

Stepping onto the floating city, Joyce’s expression became much more serious and he said to Li Si:

 “From now on, listen carefully to everything I say and remember it.”

“This is the information that all of us got from your great-grandfather’s exploration of this floating city.”

“Even if you are now a gold-level arcanist, don’t be careless. You must know that your great-grandfather died of serious injuries in the floating city.”

 “I understand, Uncle Joyce.”

Li Si nodded, he was still full of awe for this floating city.

“Well, if you follow me this time, if you think about it later, you will have to come alone.”

Joyce said in a deep voice, and then introduced Li Si:

“We are currently in the airport of the floating city. This is the safest place in the floating city. We must be careful wherever we go.”

“In this floating city, all kinds of magic traps are mostly inside the building, but there are almost none on the roads outside.”

“It is not so much the defense method of this floating city, but more likely the private arrangements of the mages who lived in the buildings and rooms before.”

“Is it safe to walk outside?”

“That’s not true, you’ll see it later.”

Joyce said with a smile.

The two continued to walk forward. Li Si carefully looked at the styles of the surrounding buildings. There were buildings of similar styles on both sides of the straight and wide road. What was curious was that the walls of each house had similar magic runes and Loops, I don’t know what they do.

However, this place is different from the tall tower in the distance. The enchanted rune circuits on the building here are quite dim, making it almost impossible for Li Si to distinguish them.

At the same time, as Li Si and Joyce moved forward, Li Si noticed that not all the buildings on the empty island were intact. Many buildings were dilapidated, or even completely destroyed, leaving only broken walls. .

 It seems that just like what was prompted in the system mission just now, the outer periphery of this floating city was severely damaged. Looking at the traces, it seems that others were directly attacked from the outside?

Li Si buried the doubts in his heart while listening to Joyce talk about the exploration experience he and his father Brandon had here.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared on Li Si’s shoulder.
