Arcane Lord

At this moment, Anglin, who was looking around on the boat, suddenly asked:

"By the way, Ms. Lunasis, can we cast a scrying spell? It's still a bit inconvenient to be on the ship like this."

To this, Lunasis’s answer was——

"Yes, but only within five meters of the surface. Anything above five meters will attract the attention of the patrol team above, which may cause some unnecessary misunderstandings."

As she spoke, Lunasis extended a finger and pointed at the dark night sky above.

Following Malusis's direction, Shado indeed saw a group of flying knights passing by at a very high altitude. However, he could see that the others just looked at them lonely.

However, no one mentioned any detection spells after that. After all, everyone had seen the flying knight at close range before in Erintal and knew about this tradition in the elven city.

…

As the ship entered the main stream of the Manda River, its forward speed also accelerated slightly. After a while, Belera suddenly exclaimed: "Look at the river water!"

Hearing the sound, the male mages who were originally focusing on the white buildings of different shapes on both sides of the river also lowered their heads and looked at the water.

"Hey, this water-"

"Is it the purest elemental water?"

At this time, Xia Duo also noticed something unusual about this section of the river. Although the small waves brought by the boats could reflect the lights from the shore and even in the distance, if you look carefully, you can find that the water is pure and transparent, almost It's like it doesn't exist.

The boat was sailing on the water, and if it weren't for the tiny reflective waves as a backdrop, it would have been as if it were sailing on the sky.

In a sense, it is not a good choice for everyone to choose night cruise. The light reflected by the small waves of the boat during the day will be blocked by the sun. That is the real sky cruise.

Of course, if it were during the day, perhaps everyone would have discovered such a strange scene long ago, but at night, if Belera had not reminded it, perhaps no one would have discovered it until Lunasis took the initiative to introduce it!

In response to everyone's exclamations and various speculations, Lunasis did not rush to explain this time, but looked like a spectator.

Seeing this, Xia Duo reached out his hand from the side of the boat into the river. As soon as the skin on his hand touched the water here, a burst of joy and peace appeared in his heart out of thin air.

This is the joy and peace of blood!

At this moment, Xia Duo once again felt an elemental will that was "independent, unchangeable, and unstoppable", and he kept calling to him——

Embrace the elements and gain eternal freedom!

However, Xia Duo did not choose to respond in the past, and naturally he would not respond now. He forcibly suppressed the closeness derived from blood in his heart, and quickly pulled his hand away from the river.

Then, a feeling of loss arose spontaneously.

After enjoying the benefits brought by bloodline, one must also bear the disadvantages or temptations brought by bloodline. It is inevitable to be close to water and wind.

As long as it does not affect normal thinking and decision-making, Xia Duo is not prepared to force changes. After all, "the benevolent love mountains and the wise love water" is a natural orientation deeply rooted in the hearts of people in his hometown.

…

Soon, the ship sailed to a new body of water, where the river widened and stars floated on the river. Xia Duo had extraordinary vision and discovered before others that those stars were not created by magic, but were plants suspended in the water. Flowers on the water.

The stars are shining, some are red, some are blue, some are yellow, some are purple, all kinds of colors are vying with each other, and when you get close, there are bursts of fragrance.

At this time, Lunaxis' introduction finally came, "This is Everesca's Sky Garden. Although it is not as good as the real Sky Garden in Cormansol, it is still an excellent landscape! Ahead! The star points are jasmine shining in the night sky, and during the day, there are also sun roses competing with the sun.”

As the boat sailed into the garden, Xia Duo could clearly see the night sky jasmine plants. Although they were light and suspended above the water, they were not rootless.

There is a very thin root connected to the vine-like plant floating on the water. In addition to the night sky jasmine and sun rose mentioned by Lunasis, there are other flowers and plants planted on it.

Only at night, the glowing night sky jasmine attracts their attention more.

…

The ship slowly passed through the sky garden, gradually leaving the dreamlike scene behind, but for a considerable section of the river, the river water was still pure elemental water.

The experience of sky boating is really good, but it is a bit unenjoyable at night.

"There are some Everrisk specialty shops on the shore here, but it is night now and they are not open. After the signing ceremony tomorrow, if you are still interested, I can continue to take you to visit and play."

Anglin, Rodit and others agreed one after another. Only Xia Duo remained silent. He was still thinking about the Sky Garden just now. It was not because he was fascinated by the scenery and elemental water there, but because it seemed to be the Evergreen Garden there. One of the core nodes of Riska Mystery Lock.

If this is the case, then it is easy to understand why the Everesca elves want to maintain such a large area of ​​pure water in the city.

No matter how exaggerated or useless the elves are, they will probably think twice about it. The Sky Garden has existed for at least thousands of years, and I have thought about it for thousands of years.

If it is maintained by force, then the price involved is not what Evereska, a small city-state, is willing to pay.

There is a high probability that it exists as a mystery node. Only in this way can it coexist with the mystery and maintain its long-term existence at a low cost.

Even the Manda Water System where he is now is very likely to be part of the Mysterious Lock!

When Xia Duo was just at Yunding Tower, he carefully observed the surrounding terrain. Not to mention the mountain barrier in the distance, the valley of Everesca in the middle was also a very special existence.

how to say?

Xia Duo had a feeling that the current location of Evereska might have been a mountain peak, but later all the parts of the peak that were about two to three hundred meters above were cut off.

And Everesca is built on this remaining mountain base!

So the question arises, why can the Manda River system flowing all over the city flow two to three hundred meters above the ground? Or maybe, why can it exist?

If you want to get water, there are magic wells that are more convenient and less expensive, and can even provide running water to every house.

Why bother to build a flashy artificial river?

Apart from the need for a mysterious lock, Xia Duo couldn't think of any other reason!

…

And then, the next landscape the ship arrived at once again confirmed Shado's conjecture - the Everesca Mystery Lock is based on the Manda Water System.
