High Above

‘City on the Lonely Mountain’, ‘City of Divine Blessing’ and ‘City of Glory’.

These words are all the names of a city.

The language is extremely pale in nature. If you only rely on these words and don’t look at it with your own eyes, no one would have imagined that the so-called ‘Imperial Capital’ is such an outrageous thing.

Standing on the ground and getting closer to the imperial capital, Ian could see that the horizon was gradually occupied by a gray-black plane, blocking the clouds behind him.

That is the ‘city wall’ of the imperial capital.

A row of three-hundred-meter-high ‘city walls’.

Speaking of city walls, most people imagine that they are no more than twenty meters high at most.

In fact, humans are actually quite insensitive to heights. Ten meters high sounds like that, but if there is really a ten-meter-tall giant walking in front of them, they will feel unparalleled shock, let alone When such a giant runs wildly at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, like a super giant truck, and hits them head on, basically everyone will lose the ability to think due to shock and fear.

Twenty meters is already a quite terrifying height. Without sublimators and gunpowder thermal weapons, a giant city wall of this height is almost equivalent to an invincible position for the defenders.

It can almost be said that it is a ‘strong city that never falls’.

But the city wall of the imperial capital...or rather, the structure known as the 'city wall', even the shortest part, is ten times taller and stronger than the tall walls that humans can generally imagine.

In front of this kind of city wall, even a titan beast that is tens of meters or even a hundred meters high... will only be highlighted by its own insignificance.

The shell of the city wall is made of a special alloy, and peeking inside through the damaged cracks, you can see a sponge-like fluffy structure full of holes... It is a special organic biomass that will continue to become denser as time goes by. , solid, organically integrated with the steel of the outer structure, making it thicker.

"This thing is not a city wall at all."

While eating the leftover apple pie, Ian watched from afar.

The silver-green halo in his eyes lit up, and he shook his head: "This thing was probably built in the ground before to fix the 'foundation' part of the upper structure... But due to the disaster, these were originally located under the surface. The structure bulged out to form a structure similar to a city wall."

"And those biomass are probably the 'roots' that link the entire 'planetary shield generator' to the earth's crust after the pre-era civilization absorbed alien biotechnology and integrated it into its own technology tree."

"Yes, it's a root...I see, it's the whole thing. No wonder it has such a structure. This layer of alloy is just a shell. The inside of it is not completely a hollow bracket or a solid mechanical structure, but...a living thing. Something.”

"This city is alive...golden...the entire imperial capital...is a whole, bright golden, fifth energy level like the sun...a super giant artificial...mechanical creature?!"

"Its structure is several kilometers deep underground...no, dozens of kilometers. The entire Quinault Plain is a stable structure supported by its roots...cough!"

Talking to himself like this, Ian suddenly felt a heat in the depths of his brain, and a terrifying pain hit him - and then, he was completely in a trance for a moment.

By the time he reacted, he had been unconscious for three seconds. Hua An and Shuangdie hurriedly flew over and supported his body so that he did not fall off the horse.

"What's wrong, Ian?"

Hua An was holding an umbrella in his hand, and this rather fancy-looking parasol was now gathered up, turning into a staff with the top polished by a cold light diamond.

Miss Goblin flew into the air and quickly alerted the surroundings. The top of the staff in her hand began to shine with golden light in the air, and a striped defense grid visible to the naked eye spread out to the surrounding area, separating Ian and Shuang who was looking for medicine in the package. Die protected: "You were attacked by someone? But you didn't sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy and source material?!"

"No, no... uh, it's okay. This is my own problem. My psychic powers are backlashing me."

Sitting up straight on the horse, Ian shook his head. He blinked hard, wiped away the spilled blood and sighed: "I'm sorry, Miss Hua An, for making you worry. You also know that I am I am a psyker of the observation system, so when I was approaching the imperial capital just now, I couldn’t help but use my psychic power to observe..."

"result……"

He didn't say anything further, but everyone knew the result.

Frost Butterfly flew to Ian worriedly and brought over a bottle of healing potion. Although Ian felt that he didn't need it, looking at the little goblin's worried look, he still smiled and drank the bottle of potion in one gulp: "It's okay. , I have no problem.”

"What? You are so smart, but how can you do such a stupid thing?!"

After hearing the reason for Ian's sudden coma, Hua An felt angry and funny: "How dare the observation system spirit to directly observe an entire city or the imperial capital? You are really brave!"

At this point, she couldn't help but hold her forehead and sigh, and put away her parasol that turned into a staff: "However, human psychics can awaken because they are fools... If this is your desire, Then I guess you’ll be the same next time.”

"I hope Frost Butterfly can help you in this regard in the future."

"I think it's definitely no problem." Ian smiled and put Shuangdie on his shoulders: "Shuangdie is so smart!"

"That's right!" The little demon raised his head happily.

"That's nice to say!"

Hua An came closer angrily, stretched out his hand to touch Ian's forehead, and used the source material to sense the boy's physical condition. Then he nodded with relief and said, "Fortunately, it's okay. Otherwise, what if I left you with sequelae?"

"This..." Ian was stunned for a moment, then lowered his forehead, letting Hua An sense: "If there are very dangerous consequences, then I will definitely know in advance."

"Wow, I knew this in advance. Could it be that you are a prophet!" Miss Goblin snorted and retracted her hand: "Stop bragging."

"Of course." Ian smiled lightly: "I am the prophet."

"You're lying to the goblin!"

This time it was the ‘backlash of precognitive vision’ that I hadn’t felt for a long time since Ian became an Ascended One.

Because of the sublimation brought about by the "Extreme Realm" in terms of soul, the young man can already observe the fourth energy level without feeling any pressure. Therefore, when observing the Imperial Capital this time, Ian continued to observe after thinking for a while. The entire Imperial Capital and even part of the underground structure were observed.

It turns out...the fifth energy level and the fourth energy level are still too far apart.

Of course, Ian suspected that it was because he had never really seen any fourth-level energy.

Xio's mother, the King of Mountains, was too far away to feel the dragon's shadow across the earth.

The second prince's heart light body is only a small part of the heart light body, not the main body.

But what he just saw was the real imperial capital - the complete imperial capital right in front of him.

"It can only be said that the information collected is very precious... and worthy of being criticized."

Shaking his head again to clear his mind, Ian did not feel that his decision was wrong.

Sometimes, a prophet just needs to risk backlash to obtain some precious information.

For example, what I already know about the true situation of the Imperial Capital... would be a priceless treasure to other countries or to some people in the Empire.

The horse's speed slowed down, because at this moment, Ian and his party had entered the "city under the mountain" part of the imperial capital.
