Chapter 395 Qualifications of the Floating City Controller
Outer floating islands, underground mysterious places,
Everyone collapsed?
Li Si was a little strange. What did this mean?
There are so many people living on the floating city. Except for the legendary arcanists who stand at the top, how can it be possible that all the gold, silver and even bronze and ordinary people from top to bottom have collapsed?
Li Si thought to himself.
By collapse, do you mean the physical collapse of those people, or is it a mental collapse?
The most important thing is that those people collapsed. Is that why there is no trace left in the floating city?
If it was a mental breakdown, it could not explain why everyone in the floating city disappeared.
If the body collapsed, unless it suddenly turned into ashes, there would be no trace left behind.
The most important thing is that according to the girl Azela in front of him, the reason for these people's sudden collapse seems to be the same.
how did you do that?
No matter how Li Si thought about it, apart from using terrifying range attack spells like [Meteor Explosion], it seemed that only methods similar to mass plague could kill those extraordinary professionals on a large scale at the same time.
But this is a floating city?
If nothing else, the legendary strong men who once controlled this floating city would be directly destroyed for this reason.
and
Li Si thought of the magical empire of Netheril that suddenly disappeared into the dust of history for unknown reasons.
In the former world of Gaia, the power of mages almost controlled the entire world.
The several magic empires established by the mages are extremely powerful, far exceeding the human kingdoms on the continent of Fanor now.
Anyone who can be called an empire controls at least one of the six continents of Gaia.
Therefore, that was the time when the magical power of the Gaia world was at its most prosperous. Many novel spells and magic items were created, which affected the development of the entire Gaia world.
At that time, even the Church of the Gods did not have as strong an influence on the world of Gaia as those magic empires.
But for some reason, at a certain period, all magic empires declined rapidly, and soon perished and disappeared into the main world of Gaia.
Until now, there are still many ruins of the Magic Empire scattered throughout the main world of Gaia.
In fact, this floating city of Azera can be regarded as one of the ruins originating from the Magical Empire of Netheril.
From this we can see the glory of those magic empires!
But the most important thing is that Li Si doesn't know the reason why those magic empires perished and disappeared.
Even Mr. Stephens never talked about these things, as if those magical empires suddenly disappeared.
Now, the anomalies in Azera's floating city may very well hide the reasons why those magic empires disappeared.
"Why do you say they all collapsed?"
Li Si looked at the slim girl in front of him and asked.
"My memory module has been damaged and I can't remember the past clearly, but I still know these things."
"But this involves the secrets of Azera Floating City. According to Article 11 of the [Azera Floating City Final Terms], I have no right to tell you this matter."
Azela, who was standing in mid-air, tapped her toes and looked at Li Si expressionlessly.
"Can't you tell me anything?"
Li Si tried to ask.
"Yes."
Azela nodded slightly, her white hair hanging down slightly.
what's the situation?
Li Si looked at the girl in front of him who was speaking seriously, and now he finally felt the difference between Azera and the black cat in front of him.
Although both are magical intelligent beings with autonomous consciousness, it is obvious that the black cat thinks more like an ordinary person, and it acts more based on its own ideas.
Although the girl Azera in front of her also has a sense of autonomy, it is obvious that her creator has set many rules and restrictions for her, allowing her to only make decisions within a limited range.
"Then what can you tell me?"
Li Si looked at Azera with some confusion, not knowing what the magical intelligent life in front of him was thinking.
"In your current situation, I can tell you very little, and I can't even provide you with any help."
The girl shook her head and responded calmly.
Um?
Li Si noticed the hidden meaning in the girl's words and asked tentatively:
"You mean, if there wasn't that so-called restriction, you wouldn't have stopped me from controlling this floating city?"
Regarding Li Si's doubts, the girl nodded lightly:
"Yes, Azera Floating City has been silent for too long. Even if Mythra's core is still running, it cannot continue like this forever. There will always be a day when it collapses."
"The most important thing is that according to Article 1 of [Azera Floating City Final Terms], when Azera Floating City is in the most emergency situation and all legendary level permissions are not in Azera City, the floating city will not Reject new masters.”
"That's why I'm here."
"Why, because you think I am qualified to control this floating city?"
Li Si asked immediately. He was a little surprised when he got the news.
"Well, although I have lost control of Azera's Great Library, the information in the Great Library can still be stored through the one-way channel and entered into the core center of the floating city."
"The Azela Great Library is a special place in the Floating City. All those who borrow magic books from the Great Library will undergo personal talent testing by the Great Library, which can roughly determine the scope of their talent."
"Your talent is enough to be promoted to a legendary mage. Even among the many mages in Azera Floating City, you are the top seed."
"These are enough for me to consider."
Although Azela's expression was calm, he still introduced the reasons to Li Si in detail.
Ah, this.
Li Si was a little dumbfounded. He didn't feel this at all when he borrowed magic books from the big library.
The most important thing is that Black Cat has never mentioned this matter at all.
But Li Si thought about the lazy look of the black cat, and it was very possible that it didn't notice this situation at all.
But like this, maybe I have a chance to control this floating city in advance?
"Then, do I have the qualifications to control this Azela floating city now?"
Li Si looked at Azela in front of him and asked seriously.
"Of course not."
The girl shook her head and put an end to Li Si's unrealistic thoughts.
"Although your talent is outstanding, you are only a gold-level mage after all."
"If you want to control the floating city of Azera, the minimum requirement is to break through and become a legendary level. Otherwise, you are not even qualified to control the core of the floating city, and you will be directly exploded by the fierce power."
".All right."
Li Si had a headache, so he could completely give up trying to control the floating city in advance.
After all, according to the girl, without legendary level strength, it is impossible to control the core power of the floating city.
Li Si didn't want to risk his own death and was in no hurry to save this little time.
"Then why did you appear in front of me?"
"Just to tell me these things?"
Li Si looked at the girl in front of him curiously.
Didn't he make a special trip to inform him that he was on the short list of the next controller of the Floating City?
"Well, more importantly, I came to meet you."
"Although Mythra's Core is still functioning, I can't hold on much longer."
Azela said slowly.
"What's the meaning?"
Li Si looked at Azela in surprise. It felt like he was giving his last words.
He had asked Black Cat before. For their magical intelligent beings, there is basically no so-called lifespan limit. As long as the magical mark of existence is still there, it will not disappear.
"My core is damaged beyond repair."
"The floating city is still running normally now because I can barely maintain it."
"If I eventually collapse and disappear, then the entire floating city will lose control. By then, I don't know what the entire floating city will become."
"Over the years, you are the first person to meet the requirements of a successor, so I came out to see you. This is also within my authority."
Li Si frowned slightly, but he had never noticed this situation before.
In her previous life, in the near future, Risa would control this floating city.
If it is true as the girl Azera in front of me said, the controller of the entire floating city is the legendary mage, but the normal operation of the location must rely on the help of magical intelligent life.
Ordinary magical intelligent life may not be able to maintain such a grand floating city.
In other words, only Gladys-level magical intelligent life can fully unleash the power of the floating city.
Therefore, in the future, due to the abnormality of the magical intelligent life Azera itself, Risa will not be able to fully exert the power of this floating city, so she will choose to let this floating city stay on the Pearl Sea for a long time.
Azela noticed Li Si's expression and thought he was worried about lack of time, so he explained:
"You don't have to worry too much. I can feel your strong vitality. You must be still very young."
"Although I am destined to disappear, I can still maintain it for at least a thousand years in a dormant state."
"This time is enough for you to break through and become a legendary mage. When you take control of this floating city, all the permissions of the floating city controller will be opened to you."
"You have time to cultivate a new Gladys-level magical intelligent life."
"And there's no need to bother at all. The black cat following you can take my place."
Li Si felt Azera's kindness, but did not explain what he had just thought.
"I feel like you are very confident in me breaking through to the legendary level?"
Li Si spread his hands and said with a chuckle.
Azela nodded, a smile finally appearing on his face.
"Of course, the information and intelligence I have stored allow me to deduce the probability of you becoming a legend."
"how many?"
Li Si asked curiously.
"80%, the remaining 20% is considering the probability of your accidental death."
Azera said calmly.
"Generally speaking, no matter how talented a genius is, there is at least half a chance that he will die due to various abnormal circumstances."
"But the legendary assassin next to you, his relationship with you obviously goes beyond a general affiliation."
"This makes me judge that he is very likely to take action to protect your safety, which is why the probability of you breaking through and becoming a legend is so high."
While talking, a new tall and thin figure appeared next to Azera.
Li Si took a look and found that it was his boss Joyce.
"Well, it seems that your intelligence collection is very comprehensive."
Li Si shrugged and looked at Azela.
"Then what should I do if I want to control this floating city?"
"You don't need to do anything, just continue to improve your strength until you become a legendary mage."
Azela said seriously:
"According to the first article of [Azera Floating City Final Terms], as long as you can break through the tower's protective measures and come to me, you can become the new owner of this floating city."
"If you don't meet the requirements, it's impossible to come into contact with my existence."
"Although Azela Floating City has been attacked, the protection of the core area is still quite complete, and the legendary elemental guards are operating normally."
"According to my judgment, as long as you become legendary, you can break through the two legendary elemental guards in front of the tower with the legendary assassin."
"I won't be giving you any direct help in this."
"However, now I can increase your authority in the floating city, allowing you to use some of the facilities in the Azera floating city to break through to the legendary level faster."
"That's it~"
Li Si was a little curious and didn't know what else this floating city could be helpful to him besides the big library.
"I will open the secret room under Azera's Great Library where Mythra's core circuit core is stored, and temporarily activate the secret settings of the circuit core. You can meditate and practice in that place."
"Every secret room that stores the core of Mythra's core loop is the most important place in the floating city, and the danger of the loop core makes ordinary mages unable to resist, so this place is basically not open to people below the legendary level."
Li Si nodded. The location of the Great Library also had the same mark on Li Si's map. There must be the same secret room as here.
Such abundant magic power can indeed significantly improve the meditation of a normal mage, and it can also temporarily eliminate the fatal temptation and danger brought by the core of Mythra's core circuit.
But Li Si is not a normal mage.
Meditation in this area is indeed important to ordinary mages, but for Li Si, it means doubling the experience gained from meditation.
For Li Si, who can harvest player experience, this is at best the icing on the cake.
In comparison, the circuit core of Mythra's core interests him more, as it can greatly improve his understanding of magic patterns and magic elements.
As long as you ensure that you are mentally strong and have early warning and emergency measures in place, this risk is controllable.
After telling Azera his needs, Azera's eyes looked strange, but in the end he did not reject Li Si's request.
She would not activate the secret settings at the heart of the circuit, leaving Lis free to experiment and study it.
Maybe she has never seen such a bold gold-level mage?
"I will open the element pools of the four element towers. You can enter the element towers to receive [Element Tempering]."
"The [Rolando Magic Workshop] in the inner city is open to you. You can use this magic workshop."
"[Modest Explosive Test Site] and [Azera Arcane Garden] are also open to you. Your permissions in these places have been increased to gold level."
Azera said softly, as if these places that ordinary gold-level mages dream of are nothing.
