Chapter 52: The Magical City of Lanka
The royal capital of England is called Lankana. It has been the capital of this country since the founding of England.
And this city has another nickname.
The city of magic.
She is known as the origin of magic in the world and is also the holy place in the hearts of all magicians in the world.
At least... before the advent of firearms, there was absolutely no city in the world with a higher status than Lankana.
Since it is a holy place in the eyes of magicians in the world, the prosperity of this city is naturally far higher than that of the royal capitals of other countries.
Magicians who come here from all over the world to seek profound magic, tourists who come here to travel, and businessmen who come here to do business gather here.
The streets are crowded with people, and there are also some strange-looking special creatures pulling cars through the streets.
The style of the entire city is completely different from other countries outside that have entered the steam age.
But now, this prosperous city is enveloped in the fanatical atmosphere of war.
In this city, in front of the Fountain Square at the northern entrance, there is a young man wearing a beret who is making an impassioned speech:
"...Shameful evil country, Uno, they actually want to steal the power of the God of Magic! They want to use their dirty technology to tarnish the sacred magic! How can we allow this to happen!"
"Not allowed! Not allowed!!"
The people below also shouted fanatically as if they had been brainwashed. Everyone's momentum was gathered together, and everyone's voices formed a sound wave that almost drowned out the prosperity of this area.
The beret young man raised his magic wand high and continued:
"Now, our respected Second Princess, our respected General, has launched a crusade against the evil Principality of Uno! Your Royal Highness needs us, and English needs us too!"
"So now, join the army with me! Become a warrior to defeat heretics! Come on! Join me!!"
The young man shouted at the top of his lungs, and the people below also responded.
Although a small number of people were sensible and did not shout with them, more people seemed to be moved by the youth and shouted fanatically to join the army.
Some people even rushed directly to the military registration office over there.
In the other corner of the square, a young man wearing a magic academy uniform walked by with a young boy.
The young man had curly brown hair and some freckles on his face.
Hearing the movement on the other side of the square, he turned to the young man behind him who seemed a little frightened and said:
"Don't be nervous. Since the war with Uno, such mobilizations have happened almost every day. Just get used to it."
"Every day...?"
The young man was a little shocked, and his blue eyes showed doubts:
"Uno... I remember it seems to be a country with a low level of magic? Are we going to declare war on them in such a big way?"
Hearing the boy's question, the young man shook his head and said:
"I don't know about this, but I heard from my mentor that Uno seems to be researching something... some 'evil thing' that will destroy magicians, so the higher-ups decided to declare war on Uno."
"...What...'evil thing'?"
"I don't know. The mentors don't know much either. Maybe only those legendary mages know the inside story."
The young man said, leading the young man through the alley, away from the fanatical crowd.
When he was almost approaching the English Academy of Magic, he turned to the young man and said:
"Hey, why are we just worrying about this? We are just magic apprentices now. Things like war are what formal magicians need to worry about, and they have nothing to do with us."
"That's right..."
The young man nodded thoughtfully.
The young man then asked:
"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you what your name is yet. If you can get the academy's special recruitment certificate, you should be from a big family."
"This...senior, you may have guessed wrong." The young man smiled helplessly and explained:
"My name is Kiri. I don't have a surname. I'm just a... civilian."
The young man introduced himself to the young man with a smile. When he spoke, a special light seemed to flash in his blue eyes.
…
Ji Li...that is, Li Qi, looked at the scenery in the Magic City.
Li Qi's first impression of this city was that of magic.
Magicians with staffs can be seen everywhere, and magic items made of special metals can be seen everywhere.
It is a very precious magic transmission weapon in Uno, and everyone here seems to have one.
Not only that, the number of high-rise buildings here far exceeds that of Uno.
Li Qi even saw a dozen-story magic tower standing in the distance.
Outside the magic tower there is an elevator powered by magic.
It can be said that Lankana, the capital of magic, is a country that has developed magic civilization to the extreme.
Li Qi also found a sense of traveling to the magical world here, rather than traveling to Europe in the 19th century.
However, this was the only thing that surprised Li Qi. Other places, Li Qi just felt normal.
Not only that, but the fanatical mobilization at the city gate for the entire English people made Li Qi realize that this country's pursuit of magic may have reached a certain deformity.
The Principality of Uno is called the "evil country" by them. Uno should not only be a country that uses guns.
Uno, Farol, and the Ship Federation are not the only countries that use firearms. Even other countries are using firearms, one of the greatest inventions for soldiers in this era.
Firearms, gunpowder, and cannons are used by every country, even the magic country England, and the lower-level soldiers are using them.
If it is just like this, it will be called evil, and England itself is evil.
So the reason is definitely not this.
What is the reason?
Thinking of the orb drawings stolen by Amy, Li Qi has already guessed in his mind.
It should be the magic orb.
England may not know that Uno has developed the prototype of the magic orb, but they must have got the news from somewhere and knew that Uno was developing something that could change the world situation.
So they defined this thing as "evil" and joined Farol to attack Uno.
They don't want this thing to be born.
Amy received a temporary notice from the Magic Academy to steal the drawings, probably because of this.
"It's something that can change the current situation of magicians, but it's praised as evil... It seems that the magicians in England are also very 'traditional'."
Li Qi sighed in his heart.
The magic orb can make guns as powerful as artillery shells, and the range is far beyond the magic released by magicians.
If every magician can use the magic orb, then the magician's combat effectiveness and lethality will be far greater than before.
On the battlefield, magicians don't have to fall into the dilemma of not being able to hit people at long range and not being able to save their lives at close range.
I believe that anyone with a little foresight can know that the emergence of the magic orb is inevitable.
As a result, England launched an offensive against Uno.
It can only be said that in some places, magicians and Uno's traditional nobles are similar.
But Li Qi doesn't care about these.
His current identity is that he is a lucky person who accidentally got the special recruitment certificate of England College.
No need to go to the battlefield, and don't have to worry about those messy things.
As a special recruit of England College, he only needs to do one thing well.
That is to be a good student and learn magic.
But before that, Li Qi has to go with this "senior brother" in front of him to meet his mentor.
Thank you for the Qidian coin reward for "What to do with stomachache"! Thank you!
