Overturned Tower

On the empty boat, the journey was uneventful.

When Russell could see the glorious Sun Island clearly, no accidents happened... and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the "repeat of events" he is worried about will not come. perhaps.

"I have to say that the decoration style of Sun Island is much more gorgeous than that of Happy Island."

Russell admired the wonderful scenery outside the window and couldn't help but admire: "While being rich, there is also a sense of sacredness..."

If we talk about the characteristics of Happy Island, it is the huge difference between the upper and lower city areas... The upper city area of ​​Happy Island, full of green plants and snow-capped mountains under the sun, full of vitality, and the lower city area, which stands densely in the shadows, are separated by only one line. Heaven and hell are separated by lines, giving people a strange and shocking feeling like the reflection on the lake.

——So, the style of Sun Island is "splendid and brilliant".

Viewed from the outside, the entire Sun Island is golden.

It is not the standard disc shape like Happy Island and Sogo Island, but a slightly smaller golden disc is propped up at the three corners of the island, and the outer diameter of the island is perfectly divided into equal lengths. Three sections.

Then on the corner of each small disk, three smaller disks were propped up.

And on top of these nine medium-sized disks, there are three smallest disks supported on each one. Each of the smallest disks is about two-thirds the size of Tianen Park. Each disk is spinning slowly, and the larger disk is spinning at an even slower speed.

The twenty-seven smallest disks can rotate once in about a day, the nine medium-sized disks can rotate once in about a month, and the three larger disks can rotate once in a year, while the Sun Island itself does not. will rotate. The higher you go, the harder it is to distinguish between east, west, north and south, and the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.

The shells of these disks are all golden. Looking from the outside of the sky island, it looks like a majestic machine that tells the story of eternity, spinning like this forever. Water drawn from below is converted into clean water and transported to higher levels. The cooling water flowing from the edge of the rotating high-rise city is like a waterfall, pouring on the city on the lower level, making the city on the lower level more original and natural.

The higher the level of the area, the more modern and integrated it is.

The twenty-seven disks lifted to the top are densely populated high-rise buildings like the lower city of Xingfu Island; the nine disks in the middle are prosperous commercial areas like the Compass District and the Giant Screen District. The three disks further down are moon-white post-modern buildings with artistic shapes, as well as large-scale sapphire-like ponds and planned green plants, which are reminiscent of The interior of Tianen Park has a refreshing style.

The lowest level, the entire empty island, is full of natural beauty.

It was not a wilderness, but a perfectly planned wilderness - a huge and gorgeous garden with fantastic colors.

Circle after circle, many flower beds, statues, and spiers of different colors in groups of four, six, eight, twelve, and twenty form a pattern with central symmetry. Looking from above , like a handmade wool rug with extremely intricate patterns.

Russell had never seen anything on this scale.

It was a gorgeous picture painted on an entire empty island.

One after another, splendid and huge palaces stand in the center of the painting, surrounded by many clear streams and running through the giant urban area. The twelve sky-high towers scattered around the city, as well as the huge spire in the middle of the castle, formed a primitive corona.

The twelve tall towers and the huge spire in the center are actually huge bell towers.

No matter which layer of the disk it is, there are also densely packed bell towers.

Just by looking closer, you can vaguely hear the clicking sound of the hands on the clock moving.

In front of it, Happy Island can only be called simple.

There are obviously fewer automatic factories in the lower city than on Happy Island. They are not so prominent and don't have as many lights on. It looks like a mechanical base underneath a giant clock.

"Gorgeous indeed."

Bad Ri also nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a sin."

"Because it's too luxurious, right."

Russell admired the disc city and said softly.

Big White Dog hummed and sighed softly: "That's true.

"That is a luxury that the residents of Taoyuan Island, Happy Island and Chongguang Island cannot imagine."

"how?"

"——Because in fact, there are less than a thousand people living on the Sun Island itself."

"...a thousand people?"

"To be precise, there are more than 880 people."

Bad Ri said in a deep voice.

More than 800 elves and about 60 humans standing at the pinnacle of power formed the "Secretary Committee".

Including the top management of "Thoth Psychic", there are also some elves who do not serve the company. Human beings come from the board of directors of Thoth Psychic and some senior leaders of the Cyber ​​Church.

They are the unique "scribe class" on Sun Island.

“They are called ‘Secretaries’, but what they are responsible for guarding is not just books, but the entire ‘old era’ including antiques and cultural relics.

“That splendid city is filled with antiques and cultural relics from the old era, and stores samples of various ancient technologies.

"In those huge gardens outside the city, every plant and tree in them is taken from the era when the earth was not destroyed. Different from the natural scenery of Taoyuan Island with plants and beasts, these plants are more like solidified specimens. . Maintaining the attitude that it can be transplanted to the ground at any time, without breeding or mutation."

Like artificial flowers and grass, it is terrifyingly quiet.

The entire sky island is completely free of mosquitoes and wild beasts. There was only the rustle of the leaves in the breeze and the gentle sound of the river.

Time seems to have stood still here.

"...It's like a gene pool."

Russell was a little surprised: "Does the dragon allow them to do this?"

"The dragons prohibit humans and newly born elves from studying history, and they do not allow history to be written in books. But they do not destroy existing history, nor do they allow those elves who already understand history to die suddenly.

“In other words, they just don’t want history to spread.

“And what Sun Island did happened to be on the dragon’s bottom line.

"All the books that the elves can collect are gathered on the Sun Island. They put together all the knowledge of the old era that they saved when they fled to the Sky Island, forming a huge 'Library of the Sun'. And the knowledge here No entry, no exit... The very few humans who are allowed to enter cannot leave once they enter the Library of the Sun, nor can they access the network. Only in this way can they circumvent the dragon's ban.

"Everyone knows what they are secretly studying. But these ancient intellectuals hide their secrets and don't tell anyone, nor do they seek any allies. They just stay in a corner.

"In addition to the scriptures in the church's 'temple' and the historical documents stored in the 'Mage Tower' on the ground, this is the place most likely to store the historical truth."

Bad Sun also looked at Sun Island together and said softly.

Russell was a little surprised: "Then why..."

"It's strange. The Tower of Babel has never attacked the Library of the Sun."

Bad Day smiled: "It's like..."

"It's like you knew from the beginning that there isn't what you want here."

Russell interrupted: "When you assassinated those directors, you even avoided Thoth's psychic powers and did not harm any directors who were Thoth's psychic powers.

"Considering that Tower of Babel can get help from Director Amirus...

"Thoth's spiritual power must be related to the Tower of Babel."

"You should say that the Tower of Babel has something to do with Thoth's psychic powers."

Bad Day corrected.

Russell raised his eyebrows: "Didn't the Tower of Babel exist during the War of Teaching? And Thoth's spiritual power was only established in the Sky Island Age."

"The Seven Giants did only appear after the Sky Island Age began, but Thoth's psychic abilities are different."

Bad Sun shook his head: "In the earth era, Thoth psychic power was already born. At that time, they were called the Stargazer Alliance."

"...stargazing?"

Hearing this, Russell was stunned for a moment.

Bad Ri also smiled helplessly: "That's right. There are only a few stars, not as bright as the sun and not as gentle as the moon. I don't know what's so good about them."

... indeed.

The sky in this world is gray, and there are not a few stars visible at all. Naturally, there cannot be any "astrology".

Russell pursed his lips.

He was vaguely aware of something.

"Didn't you ask me where the true form of the Tower of Babel is and what it looks like?"

Bad Sun chuckled and pointed at the disk on Sun Island with his chin: "No. Did you see it?"

"...You mean, the Tower of Babel was also a disk?"

"In terms of appearance, they are almost the same. They are all like a golden disk.

"The Deer Head Statue calls the Tower of Babel the 'Wandering City Tower of Babel'. It can quietly adhere to the lower city of any floating city from below and maintain its operation by stealing the energy of the floating city. I don't think so. Is this situation similar to the disk on the Sun Island?"

Bad Ri smiled casually: "You don't even need to think about it, you know that this kind of technology is not something ordinary people can obtain.

"And as you said... the Tower of Babel was built much earlier than the Sky Island. When the Sun Island itself was still a mage tower, there was no such thing as a first disk and a second disk.

"There is no doubt that the people who built these disks were the same people who originally built the Tower of Babel.

"He should be one of the directors of Thoth Psychic Energy... I suspect he may be their chairman."

"Chairman?"

"Yes. Chairman Netibus...the named elf whose destiny is [Star]."

Bad Sun slowly said a rather difficult name: "Funny fate, right?"
