Chapter 395: Qualifications of the Floating City Controller
Floating islands outside, mysterious places underground,
Everyone collapsed?
Li Si was a little surprised, what does this mean?
There are a lot of people living in the floating city. In addition to the legendary arcane masters standing at the top, how could the gold, silver, bronze and ordinary people from top to bottom collapse?
Li Si pondered in his heart.
The so-called collapse refers to the physical collapse of all those people, or the mental collapse?
The most important thing is that the collapse of those people is the reason why there is no trace left in the floating city?
If it is a mental collapse, it cannot explain why everyone in the floating city disappeared.
If it is a physical collapse, then unless it suddenly turns into ashes, it is impossible that there is no trace left.
The most important thing is that according to the girl Azera in front of him, the reason for these people's sudden collapse seems to be the same.
How is this done?
No matter how Li Si thinks about it, except for using a terrifying range attack spell like [Meteor Burst], it seems that only means like mass plague can kill those extraordinary professionals on a large scale at the same time.
But this is a floating city?
Let alone other things, the legendary masters who once controlled this floating city would be destroyed directly for this reason.
Moreover
Li Si remembered those magic empires of Netheril that suddenly disappeared in the dust of history for unknown reasons.
In the former Gaia world, the power of the mages almost controlled the entire world.
The several magic empires established by the mages were extremely powerful, far exceeding the human kingdoms on the current Fanol continent.
Those who can be called empires controlled at least one of the six continents of the Gaia world.
So, that was the time when the magic power of the Gaia world was most prosperous, and many novel spells and magic items were created, affecting the development of the entire Gaia world.
At that time, even the Church of the Gods did not have a strong influence on the Gaia world as those magic empires.
But for some reason, at a certain period, all the magic empires declined rapidly, and soon perished directly and disappeared in the Gaia main world.
Until now, there are still many relics of magic empires scattered throughout the Gaia main world.
In fact, this Azera floating city is also one of the relics from the Netheril magic empire.
It can be seen that those magic empires were once glorious!
But the most important thing is that Li Si does not know the reasons for the demise and disappearance of those magic empires.
Even Teacher Stephens has never talked about these things, as if those magic empires suddenly disappeared.
And now, the abnormality in the Azera floating city is likely to hide the reasons for the disappearance of those magic empires.
"Why do you say that all of them collapsed?"
Li Si looked at the graceful girl in front of him and asked.
"My memory module has been damaged, and I don't remember the past very clearly, but I still know these."
"But this involves the secrets of the Azera floating city. According to Article 11 of the [Final Terms of the Azera Floating City], I have no right to tell you about this."
Standing in the air, Azera tapped her toes lightly and looked at Li Si expressionlessly.
"Can't tell me anything?"
Li Si tried to ask.
"Yes."
Azera nodded slightly, and her white hair drooped slightly.
What's going on?
Li Si looked at the girl who was telling the story seriously, and now he finally felt the difference between Azera and Black Cat.
Although both of them are magical intelligent life with independent consciousness, it is obvious that Black Cat thinks more like an ordinary person, and it acts more based on its own ideas.
Although the girl Azera in front of him also has independent consciousness, it is obvious that her creator has set many rules and restrictions for her, so that she can only make decisions within a limited range.
"What can you tell me?"
Li Si looked at Azera with some doubts, not knowing what the magical intelligent life in front of him thought.
"There are very few things I can tell you about your current situation, and I can't even provide you with any help."
The girl shook her head and responded lightly.
Hmm?
Li Si noticed the hidden meaning in the girl's words and asked tentatively:
"You mean, if there is no so-called restriction, you will not stop me from controlling this floating city?"
In response to Li Si's doubts, the girl nodded:
"Yes, the Azera Floating City has been silent for too long. Even if the core of Misera is still running, it can't be maintained forever. There will always be a day of collapse."
"The most important thing is that according to the first article of [Azera Floating City Final Terms], when Azera Floating City is in the most urgent situation and all legendary authorities are not in Azera City, the floating city will not reject new controllers."
"That's why I'm here."
"Why, because you think I'm qualified to control this floating city?"
Li Si asked immediately, and he was a little surprised to get this news.
"Well, although I have lost control of the Azera Great Library, the information in the Great Library can still be stored in the core center of the floating city through a one-way channel."
"Azera Library is a special place in the floating city. All those who borrow magic books in the library will undergo the library's personal talent test, which can roughly determine the scope of their talent."
"Your talent is enough to be promoted to a legendary wizard. Even among the many wizards in the floating city of Azera, you are the top seed."
"These are enough for me to consider."
Although Azera's expression was calm, he still carefully introduced the reasons to Li Si.
Ah, this.
Li Si was a little speechless. He didn't feel this way when he borrowed magic books from the library.
The most important thing is that the black cat didn't talk about this at all.
But Li Si thought about the lazy look of the black cat, and it was very likely that it didn't notice the situation in this regard.
But in this way, maybe he has a chance to control this floating city in advance?
"Then, do I have the qualifications to control this floating city of Azera now?"
Li Si looked at Azera in front of him and asked seriously.
"Of course not."
The girl shook her head and extinguished Li Si's unrealistic idea.
"Although you have outstanding talent, you are only a gold-level mage after all."
"If you want to control the Azera floating city, the minimum requirement is to break through to the legendary level, otherwise you will not even be qualified to control the core of the floating city, and will be directly blown up by the fierce power."
".Okay."
Li Si had a headache. So he could completely give up the attempt to control the floating city in advance.
After all, according to the girl, without the legendary level of strength, it is impossible to control the power of the floating city core.
Li Si did not want to risk his own death and was not in a hurry to save this little time.
"Then why did you appear in front of me?"
"Just to tell me these things?"
Li Si looked at the girl in front of him with some curiosity.
You didn't come here to inform me that you were on the candidate list for the next controller of the floating city, did you?
"Well, more importantly, I came to see you."
"Although the core of Misera is still running, I can't hold on for too long."
Azera said slowly.
"What do you mean?"
Li Si looked at Azera unexpectedly. Why did this feel like a last word?
He had asked Black Cat before. For their magical intelligent life, there is basically no so-called life limit. As long as the magic mark of possession is still there, it will not disappear.
"My core has been damaged and cannot be repaired."
"The floating city is still operating normally now because I barely maintain it."
"If I eventually collapse and disappear, the entire floating city will be out of control. At that time, I don't know what the entire floating city will become."
"In all these years, you are the first person to meet the requirements of the successor, so I will come out to see you, which is also within my authority."
Li Si frowned slightly. He had never noticed this situation.
In the previous life, in the near future, Lisa will control this floating city in the city.
If it is true as the girl Azera said, the controller of the entire floating city is a legendary wizard, but the normal operation of the location must rely on the help of magical intelligent life.
Ordinary magical intelligent life may not be able to maintain such a grand floating city.
In other words, only Gladys-level magical intelligent life can fully exert the power of the floating city.
Therefore, in the future, because of the abnormality of the magical intelligent life Azera, Lisa could not fully exert the power of this floating city, so she chose to let this floating city stay on the Pearl Sea for a long time.
Azera noticed Li Si's expression and thought he was worried about not having enough time, so he explained:
"You don't have to worry too much. I can feel your vigorous vitality. I guess you are still very young."
"Although I am destined to disappear, I can at least last for about a thousand years in a dormant state."
"This time is enough for you to break through and become a legendary wizard. When you control this floating city, all the rights of the floating city controller will be open to you."
"You have time to cultivate a new Gladys-level magical intelligent life."
"And there is no need to bother at all. The black cat following you can completely replace my position."
Li Si felt Azera's kindness, but did not explain his thoughts just now.
"I feel that you are very confident that I can break through to the legendary level?"
Li Si spread his hands and said with a chuckle.
Azera nodded, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
"Of course, the information and intelligence I stored allow me to infer the probability of you becoming a legendary."
"How much is it?"
Li Si asked curiously.
"80%, and the remaining 20% is to take into account the probability of your accidental death."
Azera said calmly.
"Generally speaking, even the most talented geniuses have at least a 50% chance of dying due to various abnormal circumstances."
"But the legendary assassin next to you, his relationship with you obviously exceeds the general subordinate relationship."
"This makes me judge that he is very likely to protect your safety, so the probability of your breakthrough to become a legendary level is so high."
As he spoke, a new tall and thin figure appeared next to Azera.
Li Si took a look and found that it was his own boss Joyce.
"Well, it seems that your intelligence collection is very comprehensive."
Li Si shrugged and looked at Azera.
"What should I do if I want to control this floating city?"
"You don't need to do anything, just continue to improve your strength until you become a legendary mage."
Azera said seriously:
"According to the first article of [Azera Floating City Final Terms], as long as you can break through the protection measures of the tower and come to me, you can become the new owner of this floating city."
"If you don't meet the requirements, it's impossible to contact my existence."
"Although Azera Floating City has been attacked, the protection of the core area is still quite complete, and the legendary element guards are operating normally."
"According to my judgment, as long as you become a legendary level, you can break through the protection of the first two legendary element guards of the tower with the legendary assassin."
"In this, I will not give you any direct help."
"But now I can increase your authority in the floating city, allowing you to use some facilities of Azera Floating City and break through to the legendary level faster."
"Is that so~"
Li Si was a little curious, wondering if there was anything else that could help him in this floating city besides the big library.
"I will open the secret room under the Azera Library where the core of the Misera core loop is stored, and temporarily activate the secret setting of the core of the loop. You can meditate and practice there."
"Each secret room where the core of the Misera core loop is stored is the most important place in the floating city, and the danger of the core of the loop is also irresistible to ordinary mages, so this place will basically not be opened to those below the legendary level."
Li Si nodded. The place where the library is located has the same mark on Li Si's map. Presumably there is a secret room like this one there.
Such abundant magic power does have a significant improvement on the meditation of normal mages, or temporarily eliminates the fatal temptation and danger brought by the core of the Misera core loop.
But. Li Si is not a normal mage.
Meditation in this area is indeed very important for ordinary mages, but for Li Si it is to double the experience gained from meditation.
For Li Si, who can harvest player experience, it is at most icing on the cake.
Comparatively speaking, the core of the Misera core loop is more interesting to him, which can greatly improve his understanding of magic patterns and magic elements.
As long as you ensure that your mental power is full and set up early warning emergency measures, this risk is controllable.
After telling Azera his needs, Azera's eyes were strange, but he did not reject Li Si's request in the end.
She would not activate the secret settings of the circuit core, allowing Li Si to freely try and study it.
Maybe she has never seen such a bold gold-level mage?
"I will open the element pools of the four element towers, and you can enter the element tower to receive [element tempering]."
"The [Rolando Magic Workshop] in the inner city is open to you, and you can use this magic workshop."
"[Modest Explosion Test Site] and [Azera Arcane Garden] are also open to you, and your authority in these places has been increased to gold level."
Azera said softly, as if these places that ordinary gold-level mages dream of are nothing.
