My Magic Age
Chapter 1413 217. Island by the Lake
My second summer vacation after entering the Imperial Capital Magic Academy came under such circumstances. The academy's summer festival ended successfully, and the seniors in the fourth grade were about to face the second choice in their lives. For me, the arrival of summer vacation was just the beginning of a journey.
The night before returning to the Hiero plane, I met Le Die, the future successor of the South Wind Corps.
…
The lake breeze brought a hint of coolness to the dock. I sat on the dock, and the lake water under my feet was close to the wooden planks of the dock. It seemed that as long as there were bigger waves, the lake water would immediately flood this small private dock. The small boat was tied to the dock alone. I haven't been to the lakeside island for about two months.
This year, the rainfall on Mount Mazzaro is much heavier than in previous years. Although Weiyang Lake has a sluice gate, the gate has been saturated since the midsummer when the rainfall is abundant. Even so, the water level of Weiyang Lake is still rising steadily. The lakeside island owned by Qige has been soaked by the lake water for the first time. It seems that the green grass originally surrounded by the lake is now filled with lake water, and only the exquisite T-shaped building stands alone on the lake.
It is a private lake island belonging to Qige, which is a reward from Charles the Great to magic scholars who have made outstanding contributions to the Green Empire. In addition to Qige's lakeside island, there are at least dozens of such lakeside islands on Weiyang Lake. However, this lake is much larger than imagined, and these lakeside islands are very far apart, so far that they almost ignore each other's existence.
This kind of lakeside island was originally surrounded by some shallows. The terrain of the lakeside island is almost level with the water level of the lake. The craftsmen in the imperial capital built a one-meter-high wall around the lakeside island to block the lake water. These lakeside islands with different styles gradually appeared around Weiyang Lake. However, the situation this year is somewhat different from previous years. A large amount of rainwater from the mountains around Mount Mazzaro gathered into Weiyang Lake, so that the sluice gate of Weiyang Lake could not discharge all the excess water. As a result, Weiyang Lake rarely rose, and the first to be submerged were the lakeside islands that seemed to be a model of architectural art.
However, the servants still insisted on living in the beautiful building. They were waiting for the lake to recede, and then they would tidy up Qige's island. The old man who rowed the boat and drove the carriage for Qige was still guarding the boat. He had prepared some bluestones by the dock by the lake. As long as the lake receded, he would transport the stones to the island and raise the stone wall around the island by at least one foot. Perhaps this would allow the island to withstand the wave of water.
Qige had been away from the capital of the Green Empire for eight months, and he had only sent back one letter. The transportation between the Etia Alliance Kingdom and the Green Empire was not convenient. If you don't want to risk crossing the large tropical rainforest of the Savage Swamp, you can take a magic airship around the Kanduras and Shawar wilderness. It will take at least ten months to reach the capital. It is said that every summer is the most dangerous time in the Savage Swamp rainforest.
The Empire had sent the Qiyan City Construct Knights to the rainforest area of the Savage Swamp several times, hoping to expand the territory south of the imperial capital further south. After all, it was a fertile unowned land, and the swamp was rich in products, with many magical herbs and some lizard beasts unique to the south. Unfortunately, the lizard tribes hiding in the depths of the swamp have always been the biggest obstacle in front of the Green Empire Army.
In history, Qiyan City has also suffered several attacks from the lizard tribes. There was once a warlike lizard tribe that led all the warriors of the tribe to attack Qiyan City, trying to occupy this city built in the southern jungle.
Many adventure groups tried to open up a rainforest passage connecting the Green Empire and the Kingdom of the Etia Alliance in the Savage Swamp. They tried to understand the territories between the lizard tribes in the rainforest, and tried to pass through the marginal areas of some large tribal territories, and then open up some smaller lizard tribes. Perhaps this way they could pass through this Savage Swamp, but unfortunately no great adventurer has succeeded in the past hundred years.
Qiyan City, the city built in the rainforest, gathers many of the best adventure groups in the Green Empire...
...
My thoughts were awakened by a sweet voice like a silver bell.
The owner of that voice was someone I was familiar with but didn't want to see - Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Green Empire, the daughter of Prince James, the twin sister of Ying Li, and the successor of the South Wind Corps - Le Die.
However, what she said was still so annoying, and she was full of elf pride in her bones.
"According to the prediction of the astrologers of the imperial family, there will be several heavy rains in the imperial capital in the next month, so the water level of Weiyang Lake will not stop here. Are you going to rebuild this dock? As long as the water level rises another two inches, your dock will completely disappear by the lake." Le Die said standing behind me.
"I think we can wait a little longer. The water level of Weiyang Lake will eventually drop slowly, and this dock is not afraid of flooding." I didn't look back, still looking at the lake where the sky and water are connected. Under the rippling blue waves, it seems like I am on an endless sea. The abundant water elements make my body and the surrounding water elements achieve a particularly perfect synchronization.
It seems that after I agreed to meet Ledie, Ying Li notified Ledie of the news as soon as possible.
I sighed softly. It seems that Ying Li is still looking forward to my relationship with her family.
I asked Ledie: "Oh, are you ready?"
She stood behind me, and the lake breeze blew in my face, still unable to block the faint scent of elf flowers on Le Die.
Silver boots appeared on the wooden board beside me, and then I saw her wearing exquisite silver armor. This set of exquisite silver armor with hollow patterns seemed to come from the elves. When the elves remade the armor, In addition to pursuing powerful magical attributes, she is also obsessed with the exquisite appearance of the armor. Through the exquisite hollow patterns, I can even see the white and greasy skin on her body.
Le Die said: "The knights should arrive in Durva this afternoon. If you still refuse to see me, I will go through the teleportation gate in the imperial capital's teleportation hall and go directly to the Duke's Palace in Durva to join my knights."
She looked at the Weiyang Lake, and I suddenly realized that her elven bloodline gave her an almost perfect profile.
"So...what now? What are you going to do?" I asked her.
Ledie told her plan: "I will go through the mysterious portal with you and directly enter the Hierro plane. As for my team of constructed knights, according to the plan, the knights will enter the Hierro plane. Leila City, you will take the magic airship to Tanton City to meet me immediately."
I don’t understand why Le Die insists on leading the Constructed Knights into the Hierro plane. In this sensitive period, as the supreme commander of the South Wind Legion, any action of Prince James will have a series of impacts.
I said to Le Die: "Any action taken by the South Wind Legion represents the attitude and position of Prince James. Before, ten constructing knights of the North Wind Legion entered the Hierro plane, which had already disturbed many Du The local forces of Erva have entered the Hierro plane, and now there are good news on the two fronts in the Hierro plane. Do you know that when your Constructed Knights, who can represent the South Wind Legion, enter the Hierro plane, what will happen? What impact will it have on the Yero plane?"
"..." Faced with my question, Le Die did not speak.
She frowned and frowned slightly. When she was thinking, she would show the same movements as Ying Li.
I continued: "The lords with some troops here in the imperial capital will also swarm in, and the Hierro plane will immediately turn into a piece of cake. I don't know how many lords who want to share the fruits of victory will show up at this time. Come……"
At this point, Le Die interrupted me: "Do you think I am one of those lords who share the big cake?"
I shook my head and said: "You carry the brand of the South Wind Legion on your body. Even if you do nothing after arriving in the Hierro plane, no one will have such doubts. The South Wind Legion is the creator of the cake. Of course not Need to share someone else’s cake.”
Le Die bit her red lips with her white teeth, rolled her eyes slightly, and said, "Then let's change our thinking! Isn't it a good thing that a lord is willing to lead the army into the Hierro plane?"
I turned to look at her and said, "If it had been two months ago, I believe the Duke of Samoyed would certainly have raised his hand to welcome him, but judging from the current situation in the Hierro plane, in fact, the arrival of those lords is just the icing on the cake. "
Ledie looked at me without showing any signs of weakness. She opened her eyes wide, with a look of surprise on her face, and said, "What you mean by this is that the army under the Duke of Samoyed is in this plane war." "Have you already taken advantage?"
I replied: "Of course, if it weren't for returning to the Imperial Academy of Magic to participate in the final test and summer festival, I'm afraid I would have already started preparing for an expedition to the swamp sea to fight against the Nibru Spider-Man in the Hierro plane. "
She understood what I meant, so she asked me: "...I can't believe it, how did you do it?"
"When you get to Hierro, you will naturally know it!" I did not answer directly. Since she has made up her mind to go to Hierro plane, she should find the answer in Hierro plane.
"Why don't you stop stopping me this time?" Le Die asked proudly.
"If blocking is helpful, I will." I said angrily. I really couldn't do anything about Ying Li, my younger sister.
However, since she cannot be prevented from going to the Yero plane, her safety must be ensured, otherwise there is really no way to explain to James and Yingli.
That's why I agreed to take her with me through the teleportation altar in Xinliu Valley to the Yero plane.
So I told Ledie that I planned to return to the Hierro plane tomorrow afternoon. Before that, I still have some things to deal with in the imperial capital, and the gathering place is at my manor.
After saying this to Ledie, I directly blessed myself with the magic of 'walking on water' and walked directly across the lake to Qige's island on the lakeside.
At this time, Qige's island was completely submerged in the lake, leaving only an exquisite building isolated on the water. Next to this exquisite T-shaped building stood several metasequoia trees.
Seeing me walking from the pier towards the lake, Ledie loudly asked me behind me: "Hey, where are you going?"
"Go take a look at the island by the lake." I shouted without looking back.
"Hey... annoying guy." Ledie's voice was far behind her.
I walked to Qige's small island by the lake. Qige's servants came out of the building one after another and waited for me on the stone steps at the door.
The water of Weiyang Lake has covered the entire island. Standing on the water of the lakeside island, you can clearly see that less than one meter deep under the lake surface, there is a green lawn of the lakeside island, and some transparent The small fish only shuttled in the grass. After they discovered me, they crawled into the grass alertly.
Perhaps because of the lawn, the lake water is particularly clear. I walked to the outermost stone wall of the lakeside island. The stone wall here has been completely submerged by the lake water and hidden in the lake water. It has not collapsed under the immersion of the lake water. The wall surrounding the lakeside island was originally a dam to block the lake water. However, for the abundant rain this year, this wall is obviously a bit short.
Not long after, several large magic caravans drove along the lakeside avenue and stopped at the lakeside dock. A group of craftsmen got off the caravans under the leadership of Murray and gathered at the dock. The dock is only one kilometer away from the lakeside island. There are some stones that have been stockpiled next to the dock. Under Murray's command, these craftsmen loaded these stones onto ships and transported them to the lakeside island.
Then the craftsmen stood in the waist-deep water and began to use these stones to build the stone wall around the lakeside island higher. Soon, the outline of the lakeside island emerged from the water again... Unfortunately, there was no way to block the gaps in the stone wall with mud and sand, so the lake water would continue to soak the lakeside island, but the outer outline of the island was maintained.
At this time, some masons gave me ideas and told us how to build this stone wall perfectly in the lake water, that is, to build an earth dam outside the stone wall, and then destroy the earth dam after the stone wall is rebuilt, so that the underwater stone wall can be built...
Unfortunately, I don’t have so much time to waste here, so I have to leave the task of building a waterproof stone wall on the lakeside island to Murray.
In fact, I was thinking, if I don’t use an earth dam, can I use magic to build an ice wall around the lakeside island... In theory, it can be achieved, but with my current magic power, the ice wall doesn’t seem to last long under the scouring of the lake water, so I gave up.
The next morning, after trading a batch of magic crossbows with Count Conrad of the South Wind Army's logistics department, he reunited with everyone at the manor and opened the portal to enter the Yello plane...
