Lux's Magic Penetration Rod
Chapter 656 【0648】 Antahir, the City of Mage
Antasil is nothing like what it used to be.
Even though Kalya had already expected what this city would look like through the stories told by Shabeka and Shabek, when he saw the towering Mage Tower with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In the era of the Shurima Empire, Antasil was the political and economic center of Southern Shurima. It had the best deep-water port in Southern Shurima. The spices and raw ores traded in Icathia were once shipped in Antasil one by one. Tahir unloaded the goods and landed, then walked through the large tunnel and sold them at a sky-high price in the Xueyin Bazaar.
But now, although Antahir's port is still there, it has been completely sealed and has become an out-and-out military port. The once prosperous city has now changed its appearance, and there is no longer the bustle of the past. ——The situation inside the Mage Tower is still unknown, but outside the Mage Tower, there are only a few pedestrians in Antahir.
There were no guards in the city, but every mage tower was heavily guarded. Kalya and his party wandered around the city for a few times, and then they were shocked to find that the people living here were all servants and ordinary people, and everyone with status in the entire city , all live in the Mage Tower.
In addition, there is not even a decent market in Antahir, a huge city. If locals want to buy food, they have to go to the market outside the city. The main reason for this situation is because of Antahir. As a "city of mages", everything in Tahir must serve mages, and irrelevant content should not exist.
It seems that in Xerath's eyes, he is already showing mercy by allowing ordinary people to settle in the city.
Want to further develop your living facilities?
If you don't want to live here, you can leave.
But no matter how unkind Xerath's orders are, the mages of Southern Shurima will still come here in an endless stream, contributing their strength to Xerath in exchange for valuable magical knowledge.
These things are not confidential information, so without much effort, Kalya and others roughly found out the current status of the city. After multiple verifications and confirmation that this was indeed the truth, Ino was still a little unbelievable.
"It's understandable to monopolize knowledge." She smacked her lips and her eyes fell on the towering towers of various wizards. "But can we achieve this step just by monopolizing knowledge? Knowledge will be passed down after all!"
"Yes, knowledge will always be passed on." Thalia also nodded, "If you learn knowledge in Antasil, can't you pass it on to others after you leave? Isn't it even possible to teach others knowledge here? no?"
"Knowledge is difficult to monopolize, but mages can." Karya thought for a while, and soon came up with a rough guess, "Just get a certification. As long as you want to do it, there is always a way."
"If you are certified, you will be a Dharma Controller, but if you are not certified, you will be a demon-contaminated person?" Ino gave a not very appropriate example, "And then you are specifically preparing to search for demons?"
"This is just the most direct method." Kalya shook his head and said, "Isn't it better to issue a protection order to the certified mage to protect his gathering place from being directly attacked."
"Using the bloodline concept of the Southern Shurima people." Ino nodded, "This does seem to be more advanced."
"It's a pity that the people outside the Mage Tower don't understand many things clearly enough. Even though many of them even work inside the tower, they are simply from two different worlds from the mages inside the tower..."
"Yes." Ino was convinced of this. "There are no slaves in South Shurima, but I always feel that except for mages, everyone here is a slave."
There are not many places to explore in the city of Antasil - the essence of the entire city is in those few standing mage towers, including Xerath and Azir.
However, it is not an easy matter to enter the Mage Tower.
According to Shabeka and Shabek, although there are windows on the mage tower, they are just traps. If you really enter through the skylight, you will only fall into a trap.
In addition, after many observations, Ryze also sensed the spatial characteristics of the Mage Tower itself that could not be concealed.
"The construction area in the tower is very amazing." Ruiz said with a puzzled expression when he mentioned this topic. "Or it is simply a secondary plane - it is most likely related to the power of runes."
This is the last thing Ryze wants to see.
Being able to use world runes to tear apart space and create sub-dimensions not only shows the power of the world runes in Xerath's hands, but also shows that he himself is quite experienced in the use of world runes.
Even if the previous battle against Nasus + Thalia was unfavorable, there may be some objective reasons.
In this case, the difficulty of the next battle may escalate a lot!
"It seems that Xerath has not completely failed to utilize the power of the World Rune." Unlike Ryze, Karya didn't seem nervous when he realized this. Instead, he praised, "The World Rune Wen's power is huge and difficult to use, and he will lose control if he is not careful, so he created a sub-plane and hid it... This idea is really interesting!"
"Now is not the time to praise your opponents." Ryze shook his head. "Next, we must determine the situation inside these mage towers - if each mage tower exists alone, it will be really troublesome."
"It's very possible." Kalya still looked extremely relaxed, "Didn't you find out which city center has the largest mage tower and the strongest spatial resonance?"
Kalya's attitude, as if he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, finally made Ruiz shake his head and stop talking.
……………………
In fact, it is not difficult to enter the mage tower to explore.
Theoretically, these mage towers welcome any outside mages to enter and communicate. Xerath even generously posted a notice recruiting foreign mages, detailing the preferential treatment for outsiders.
But the problem is, anyone who knows it with his knees knows that entering the Mage Tower through "regular channels" must be inspected, and once inside the Mage Tower, it will be a situation where people are fighting for their own good. Shabeka and Shabek are so capable. The Ascended Ones who ran had no room to resist.
It seems that nothing is right no matter how you enter the mage tower.
Regarding this embarrassing situation, Nasus simply suggested that he could stand up and be a bait.
"I stand up and show my identity, Xerath will not sit idly by!"
"Yeah, he won't just sit idly by and just control the mage tower to fire." Kalya nodded, his mask full of approval, "You have been hiding and studying for so many years, have you been reading novels, not even a little bit of magic theory? If you haven’t read it, open your eyes and see what the magic circuits on the outer walls of these mage towers are for!”
Nasus took a deep breath and tried hard not to look at the "agree" and "support" floating across Kalya's mask like a barrage.
"Thalia!" Seeing Nasus turn his head, Kalya finally snorted and turned off the special effects of his mask. "What do you think the magic circuit on the outer wall of this mage group does?"
"Is it extraction, compression, stabilization, oscillation, release?" Squinting her eyes and circling the mage group in front of her twice, Thalia quickly gave the answer, "There are also some general circuits that cannot be seen. "
“What is the function of the release loop?”
"Release magic power, causing damage or shaping depending on the release channel."
"Did you hear that, Nasus?" Kalya snorted, "Use your dog's head to think about whether these mage towers are engineering towers or defensive towers!"
Nasus wisely remained silent and secretly cursed in his heart. Teacher Kalya must have suffered from Alzheimer's disease and always forgot that his Ascended form was a jackal, not a dog's head.
Seeing that Nasus finally gave up his stupid idea, Kalya expressed his thoughts.
"Whether you enter or not, the Mage Tower is not safe."
"If you go in, you will be sent to the door. The other party can mobilize enough people to besiege and activate internal defense. If necessary, they can even take the initiative to destroy the mage tower."
"If we don't go in, the Mage Tower can rely on the power of the world's runes to launch continuous bombardments on us. There is no way we can withstand this kind of consumption."
Speaking of this, Kalya paused slightly.
"Then what should we do?" Ruiz asked at the right time, "We can't just sit idly by."
"According to the enemy's rules, it is impossible for us to outplay each other." Satisfied with Ryze's praise, Kalya nodded happily, "So, we may be able to find another way, ignore these mage towers and go directly to the sub-dimensional! "
As soon as he said this, everyone else's eyes widened in disbelief.
Bypassing the mage tower and going directly to the secondary plane?
How can this be?
Although entering the secondary plane is sometimes as simple as walking through a door in space and entering a house, that presupposes that there is such a door.
If there is no entrance to the sub-plane, then the only way to enter this house is to cut through the wall - and due to the special nature of the space, outsiders do not know where the inside of the house is, and the wall is cut without knowing where to go, which is aimless. If we do this, the result will only be to destroy the stability of space, causing space to collapse, and then be shattered by space turbulence.
Therefore, it is simply impossible to bypass the mage tower and go to the secondary plane.
"Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible to bypass the entrance of the sub-plane and enter the sub-plane." Kalya seemed to be satisfied with everyone's expressions, "But coincidentally, our team is really satisfied with bypassing the entrance. All the conditions - Ryze, if I give you a safe location, can you send everyone in?"
"Yes." Ruiz looked at Kalya, "But it must be absolutely safe and the space must be stable."
"Don't worry, it's absolutely safe and the space is stable." Kalya nodded, "I wonder if you have heard of the space nesting theory?"
"You plan to send the space container in?" Ruiz obviously has a lot of research on space magic. He immediately understood what Kalya meant, "Place a positioning beacon in the space container and send us in together!"
"Correct answer!" Kalya snapped her fingers happily, "As long as the positioning coordinates are set, the sub-dimensional is actually just that - Ryze, your theory is very solid. It seems that even if you are busy protecting I haven’t given up on theoretical study of world runes, and I’m much better than a certain dog head…”
"Where is the space container?" Ryze ignored Kalya's words to mock Nasus, "The winding path jump requires a considerable degree of space stability. This is not a simple matter. I must check the stability of the space container in advance. "
"follow me."
……………………
After quickly leaving Antahir, in a deserted place outside the city, Kalya finally stopped.
"Okay, this is the perfect starting point for teleportation." After looking at the surrounding environment, Kalya showed a big smile on his mask, "Nasus, look at these guys!"
Just when Nasus was wondering who to watch, three figures suddenly appeared next to Kalya.
Everyone took a closer look. Even Ruiz, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but be stunned.
These three guys...are clearly demons!
Kalya carries three demons with him? !
"Evelyn, the Demon of Pain." Kalya ignored Ryze's surprise and introduced the identities of the three demons to Nasus, "There is also Nocturne, the Demon of Nightmare, Ramo, the Hidden Demon—you Remember how to fight the devil, right?"
"Pay attention to your emotions and don't resonate with the devil." Nasus nodded, "If your heart doesn't move, the devil won't move."
"Just remember." Kalya nodded, "Next, you have to go out of the city, keep an eye on these demons, and leave a way out for us."
"Nazeras——"
"This is a duel between mages. There is no room for you to play." Kalya interrupted Nasus, "Keep an eye on these demons and save Ryze's spatial positioning coordinates. This is the most important task!"
Kalya's tone became serious.
Under this situation, although Nasus was quite unwilling, he still straightened his body and nodded in agreement - after saying that, his withered body hung on the bodies of the three demons.
"That's it." Kalya nodded, "Shyvana, you must keep an eye on them when you are here with Nasus!"
Shyvana nodded silently.
"It's much easier." Kalya twisted his neck, "Now, Ryze can come and see if this space container is stable enough."
With that said, Kalya put one hand on Ryze's shoulder.
"Don't resist!"
The world is spinning.
When Ryze regained consciousness, he was already in a patch of yellow sand.
"Is this your space container?" Ruiz looked at everything around him, "What kind of spell is this? Can I test the stability?"
"Of course." Kalya suddenly appeared next to him, "Despite the test, if it is beyond my tolerance, I will tell you directly."
"good!"
Just as he was told, Ryze's skin soon lit up with arcane radiance, and a tangible and invisible space ripple centered on him, rippling out to the surroundings.
"Continue." Next to Ryze, Kalya leaned back, and a recliner underneath him held him firmly. "This level of spatial oscillation is not a problem at all."
"good."
Ryze nodded and increased the intensity of the spatial oscillation.
There is still no fluctuation in the space.
Even though Ryze tried to perform a winding jump inside the space, Kalya still felt no pressure.
"How did you do it?" After the teleportation, Ryze felt the stable space around him, and there was finally a hint of disbelief in his tone. "Such a stable internal space, and it's not a sub-dimensional space..."
"Want to learn?" Kalya put away the recliner and stood in front of Ryze, "I'll teach you!"
Kalya’s small classroom·small world:
Kalya's small world is a very special space spell. It was initially just a place where Kalya used to conduct magic experiments and simulations. Later, Kalya wrote and constructed it based on the principles of magic, and finally transformed it bit by bit. It became what it is now.
PS. The extra chapter is not finished yet, so it may have to be delayed for another day or two, which is embarrassing.
