Magic Tower Starry Sky

Before entering the Gwana Empire, you will pass through several small countries. These small countries lined up acted as a buffer zone between empires.

And they, who survived in the cracks of big countries, are also proficient in the skills of being able to do both. At least in terms of their attitude towards outsiders, they are quite open. Because the regime that locked the country with a strong stance has become part of the two empires. If you don't have the strength, you still have to compete with those big guys, and you can't blame anyone for being crushed to death with a finger. That's what Mantis' arm blocks the car.

Ships on the golden waterway pass through these small countries, and due to the convenience of their national policies, there are not many restrictions. Of course, the taxes that should be paid still had to be paid, and Lin and his party passed through these countries smoothly as magicians without any unnecessary obstacles.

But no matter how easy the journey is, there is an end. The last river port city on the golden waterway, Colombo is just around the corner. There is no scene of thousands of sails and ships connecting here as imagined, but it still looks quite crowded. Because it is quite close to the source of the Po River, the river channel is quite narrow.

On the other side of the horizon, towering mountains can be seen. The Jura Mountains lie at the junction of the Midland Central Continent and the Western Continent, stretching for more than 1000 kilometers, and are also the birthplace of the Po River. It was late winter and near spring, and the top of the mountain was still white like a knife. It is like a world barrier, separating the two worlds of reality and the unknown.

But judging from the historical trajectory, thousands of years ago, the other side of the mountain belonged to the civilized world, while this side belonged to the wild.

There are many ways to cross the Jura Mountains. The way most people use is to disembark at a port before Colombo Port, which is also the final point of the commercial port. Near that river port city is a passage into the underworld, jointly operated by the countries on both sides of the mountain range.

What the two countries have done is not just to widen the channel to facilitate the exchange of horses and horses. It is also necessary to encircle and suppress any monsters approaching this passage, as well as the malicious residents in the underground world.

As a price, all people who want to pass through this underground world channel must pay a considerable amount of tolls, one payment at a time, a total of two payments. The two countries on both sides of the mountain range rely on the income from this underground world passage, and they are quite well off.

Another very challenging route, and one that some smugglers take, is directly across the Jura Mountains. In fact, this is the path that was first used.

Crossing the mountains is not as easy as ordinary mountaineering. So far, people have only discovered some easy mountain roads from the thousands of kilometers of mountains; there are very few people who can take a horse-drawn carriage. Even these roads will be temporarily interrupted due to changes in the climate on the mountain. It can be said that without a guide who is familiar with the situation in the mountains, going up the mountain rashly is no different from courting death.

Thinking of this, Lin remembered that when he was on the cruise ship, Uzov who introduced him sighed at this moment. A magician who was puzzled as to why this man was still by his side up to this day asked flatteringly, "What's the matter? Could it be that you have walked the mountain roads of the Jura Mountains?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. When I was young, I once challenged the feat of crossing the Jura Mountains with a group of friends. Although I succeeded, I was lucky not to leave anyone in it, but that is not a good memory. Several accidents, none of us could get out of that mountain."

On the boat, a group of people boiled a pot of hot soup and drank to dispel the cold. Seeing Uzov's frightened expression, they all had the same doubts in their hearts. Since it's so dangerous, then did this guy lure himself to this place for the sake of world peace, to send some scourge to die?

Sensing everyone's suspicious eyes, Uzov changed his gloomy expression, put his hands on the back of his head, and said with a hearty smile: "I recommend everyone to come here, of course not to challenge the mountain road, but to use another means of transportation."

"Vehicle?" Listening to this experienced adventurer's prompt at that time, only one thing came to Lin's mind.

"Yes, the third way, the safest and most convenient way to pass through the Jura Mountains, is to take an airship."

I still remember that when I heard this term again at that time, it felt a little unreal. At the same time, I heard Uzov continue to introduce: "The pass that can pass through the Jura Mountains is also a lower mountain position. It means that the airship can easily cross this mountain from the air. And the airship can also fly directly. Arriving at the destination we want to go, as long as there is no restriction on the entry of airships, it can be said to be the most convenient means of transportation. If we just want to take a ride, we have to pay an expensive ride. But flying through the air, There is no need to pay the road tax of the countries or noble territories that pass through, and the time spent is relatively short, and the supplies needed are not so much. So some people think it is a good deal, and some people are unwilling to spend more money. But as your Excellency As far as my wealth is concerned, it is just a trivial matter. Or, your Excellency hopes to travel leisurely by land and travel around?"

If there is no detailed calculation of the related expenses, whether it is earned or lost, it is indeed a mess. But for a traveler, the concept that time is money is deeply ingrained, so Lin thought that if he could save some time, he would save some time.

As for traveling around, I have been drifting outside for nearly three years. For a nerd, three years can be said to have used up all the share that he can leave home for a lifetime. In the end, I am not a personality that can wander around, so let's go straight to my destination.

What's more, there is a lot of research, because I am constantly traveling, I can't make a thorough study. Many topics that I want to do have been backlogged. Just seeing that list and memo, I feel like my legs are trembling.

However, someone still has doubts about the airship. At that time, of course, I also asked: "Is the airspace in the Jura Mountains safe?"

"Airspace? What do you mean?"

Uzov's puzzled expression is still impressive. It was only then that Lin remembered that Midi didn't have the concept of air supremacy. But the sky here is not free at all, and it is not safe.

On the earth, after excluding the creation of machines, the overlords that move in the sky are at best carnivorous raptors with a wingspan of two to three meters. But in Midi, although the flying monsters of more than ten meters are not everywhere, they are not rare species.

The airships I saw when I was in the southwest peninsula, the Gosperton belonging to the Leon District, or the Hyder Empire Airship Legion I had heard about, were all military weapons. Not to mention the ability to protect itself in the sky, it can even fight. Perhaps the flexibility is not as good as those with their own wings, but using various magic and war weapons, ordinary flying monsters can only detour when they see it.

But listening to Uzov's introduction, he meant that near the port of Colombo, you can find airships carrying passengers. This kind of airship is definitely not the kind of military use, so of course Lin has to ask how well it is protected in the sky. But at that time, the man laughed and said: "It shouldn't be so unlucky, you will encounter dragons wherever you fly. And I have never heard anyone say that they encountered any dangerous monsters in the sky."

…I won’t be able to come back and report to you if I encounter anything, okay.

Although he really wanted to complain about the man who was stalking him, Lin still seriously thought about his next move. In the end, I decided to look at the status of the airship, as well as the various arrangements and costs. If it really doesn't work, it's still too late to go back and cross the Jura Mountains through the passage of the underground world. So the group came to Columbo, the last port on the golden waterway.

The berth of the airship is to leave Colombo Port and go to another bustling town with a large grassland. The airship there is completely different from the airship seen on the golden waterway before.

The airships on the golden waterway are mainly used to advance in the form of a ship, and flying can only be regarded as an auxiliary function. The airship here is a purely airborne mobile tool with a high ceiling. It is approaching the ground in a tethered way, but it cannot completely fall to the ground. The airship Gaosibotong seen in the southwest peninsula in the past is the latter type.

The high ceiling means flying high. However, there are few types of monsters that can fly high, and the natural safety has been greatly improved. Not to mention the need to cross high mountains, it cannot be compared with flying on flat ground, and there are more things to consider. And all of this, without seeing it with your own eyes, it is impossible to make up your mind.

But today is not in time to reach the small town. Therefore, Lin and his party will spend the night in the port of Colombo before setting off tomorrow morning.

And to enter crowded places, Lin is still used to wearing a magician's cape. Showing your identity in a timely manner can save a lot of trouble.

The two apprentices and the dwarves were busy rebuilding the carriage and carrying the luggage. And the four horses that he got when he left Wulian City nearly three years ago also followed him to the port of Colombo by boat, and stood in the position of pulling the cart again.

Speaking of watching the two girls rushing in and out, they also had a happy expression on their faces. I just think of the time when I was forced to read, as long as I can get in touch with things other than books, I will feel very happy, even if it is heavy labor.

And in the past few months, during the time on the ship, they were forced to be miserable by the Lich beside them. It can be said that they are learning as soon as they open their eyes. So Lin didn't dare to **** the work they were doing now that would make them happy. This was definitely not an excuse to be lazy.

"Hey, you didn't hang those two out?"

Fen~www.wuxiaspot.com~ standing beside her was originally staring at whether the two apprentices had integrated magic into their lives with sharp eyes, and was always vigilant and protected by magic. But she suddenly said that.

For a while, someone was a little confused. But then he realized that what Fern was referring to should be the two gold tassel threads that he could hang on after he was qualified as a great magician by the Lizejian Branch of the Magicians Association. In fact, Lin only had one hanging on his chest.

It's not that I don't have money to buy a second golden spike line. That kind of thing, as long as the shape and specifications follow the regulations; other aspects, the Association of Magicians doesn't care. So some masters will do some tricks on Jinsui Online, such as instant casting of some protective magic, anti-spiritual charm and so on. Lin also made a lot of gold tassel threads with different functions, but there is only one that actually hangs on his body.

Smiling, Lin said: "I obtained my qualifications as a great magician from Li Zejian, but I haven't admitted it here yet. It would be a lot of trouble if I conflicted with other people because of two lines. Unlike you, the really hard foundation, magic knowledge, and the accumulation of power are all in the scope of inhumanity. If you only look at those two points, who will admit that I have the qualifications of a great magician."
