above the sky

Chapter 932 The Valley Falls from the Sky (8000, Dazhang asks for a monthly pass~)

The airship Muyin crossed the North Mountain route of the Seven Cities Alliance, flew out of the shadow of the planet, and sailed towards the oncoming morning light.

The whole body is crystal blue, just like a bright gem. Muyin is one of the few high-speed airships in Terra that can smoothly ascend to the orbit of outer space. Its prototype comes from the anti-gravity spacecraft of the civilization of the previous era. It was built by the Sky Aircraft Carrier, but because of the small size of the shield, it could not block the attack of the fourth-level sublimator, so it was changed to the official diplomatic airship of the Empire.

Isengard stood on the deck of the imperial jewel. He felt the thin air in mid-air and looked down at the speckled mountains and cities under the airship. He had complicated thoughts in his heart.

He knows the dream of his friend Ian, and he also knows that he wants to go to the sky... He develops the territory, builds industries, and builds a complete alchemy park, just to create such an airship... Maybe it is stronger empty boat.

But it is all the same after all. This kind of technology, this kind of thinking, has existed on this land for a long time, but because it has no meaning, it will not be taken seriously.

In the final analysis, among the stars, what is there that is worth all the exploration?
When people are still busy fighting each other on the earth, hating each other, and despising each other, what can go to the sky to prove?
If you just want to show off your strength, wouldn't it be good to become a fifth-level powerhouse?

In fact, he knows far more than anyone imagines.

Ian once told him that if there is no sky of Prisoner Star Prison, the dark sky will be full of shining stars, and each of those shining stars is actually as huge and scorching as their sun, and Every star has its own star field galaxy, where there are countless planets, and there are probably countless other lives on the planets.

Ian once told him that in the depths of the vast and boundless universe, there is a scene that is difficult for humans to see: a huge crimson star slowly expands, engulfing all its children; a dazzling flame erupts from the core of a decaying star , spreading tens of light-years away, it is still extremely dazzling; from a distance, there are probably a few terrifying stars flickering with infinite pulses inside the extremely grand and gorgeous nebula, which will distort all the signals that are close to the surrounding...

Ian and he expounded on these things.Full of desire, full of enthusiasm.

As Ian's friend, Isengard really wanted to understand him and be moved by his dream...but after he was silent, he still expressed his truest opinion.

"But, Ian, according to what you said."

At that time, Isengard said: "Isn't the universe just like hell? It's cold, quiet, and dangerous. It needs the strongest ship and the most powerful force to go to the other side—and the other side is completely unknown. There may not be gains, there may not be surprises, there may be dangers, you need to wait all the time, and most of the time is boring."

"People nowadays need to work hard even to eat enough, and even have to put a question mark on whether they can live tomorrow... Is this really something worth looking forward to?"

"Of course it's not worth looking forward to. That's why I'm angry."

So Ian replied with a logic that he couldn't understand: "That's why I have to solve this problem. Whether it is in the sky or on the earth, whether it is outside the human heart or inside the human heart, I will solve it all."

"Then, we'll go far away."

"...does that make sense?"

Isengard has never been able to understand this point, and it is precisely because he is Ian's true friend that he asked this sentence: "Compared with all the grand things you said, everything I have experienced has changed. become small and empty. But these small and empty things are the life experienced by most people..."

At that time, he and Ian looked up at the sky with few stars, and murmured softly: "The vastness of the universe and the smallness in front of my eyes, Ian, I feel empty and empty.

"It seems that I am dying here now, and it doesn't make any sense. No, what is the meaning of the destruction of the entire Terra compared to the vast universe you said?"

"It's really meaningless. Compared with the universe, human beings and civilizations are trash-like things. They only exist by accident and survive because of good luck."

And Ian said calmly: "But even things like mosquitoes and cockroaches come out from time to time to be disgusting, we are just garbage and what's the matter with accidents, small things have existed for a long time because of accidents, it is the so-called miracle. "

"One day, the universe will be shocked by such a miracle."

"Ethan...remember. We don't act for a result."

"We're just going in the direction that we think is 'right'."

right direction.

Isengard is thinking about these five words now.

What is right in his mind?
He is the son of a nobleman, and he is a descendant of the royal family. Isengard is the experimental subject of a secret experiment that has been passed down from the time of Inaiga II. He has the power of the black sun in his body, and has the blood of the thousand-star beast and the sun bird. .

His existence itself is more meaningful than many people.

It’s just this meaning, as Ian said, compared to the entire universe, Terra as a whole is nothing more than the luck that other strong people don’t pay too much attention to it, so it can barely exist.

——What kind of world can be called correct?

Thinking about this question, Isengarde suddenly felt that the imprint of the sun god bird on his forehead began to shine, it began to glow, heat up, and burst out with stronger power - because of a huge desire, a huge dream and longing And wake up.

Therefore, let the young noble realize it.

"I see……"

Isengard raised his head. He stood at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, overlooking the coastline of the Tranquil Sea of ​​Terra Continent. Thinking, all searching...all building something in my heart."

"The right world."

Therefore, wars will appear again and again.

"Inaika II..."

Touching his forehead, although the U-shaped imprint of the sun bird had faded a little, Isengarde sighed: "Why do you want to go to the sky?"

Naturally there was no answer.If there was an answer, it would be Isengard who should be frightened.

The airship is gradually sailing into the Tranquil Sea controlled by the City of Knowledge, and the sky armor of the City of Knowledge has come to welcome it.

The smooth-flying steel queue guarded the airship from a distance, and the other passengers on the airship also walked out of the cabin door and came to the deck, ready to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the capital of learning.

nature.The capital of learning held two continent-level conferences, the 'Terra Psychic Research Conference' and the 'Devil Technology Control Consultation Conference'. It is impossible for Isengard to be the only envoy sent by the empire.Rather, as a special guest, Isengard is the special one.

It was precisely because he couldn't adapt to the atmosphere of the group of imperial nobles that he stayed alone on the deck.

Unfortunately, the quietness is gone.

Isengard straightened his collar and was about to return to the cabin to meet the next landing... but he could vaguely hear the conversation about him coming from the cabin.

"Speaking of which, that guy from the Ellen family is neither a psychic nor a big shot, why was he invited to the Capital of Knowledge?"

It was the voice of a young imperial nobleman, probably the Viscount of the Anlott family.

He is a psychic. Psychic power is the ability to form clones with the help of flames, and let himself jump between clones. It is a very convenient ability whether in combat or in daily life, especially when Viscount Anlott is young, and now he is In world wars, it is likely to be promoted by virtue of meritorious service on the battlefield.

Isengard didn't know each other, but obviously, being unfamiliar with each other couldn't stop other people's malice.

"Yes." There were other voices also said: "There are only a few places to be invited in the entire empire, and he only occupies one... And I remember that the successor of the Ellen family is not him, how did this guy get in? of?"

"It's probably Madam Afurina's channel. But let me tell you that letting unqualified people participate in big events won't get you any qualifications, but it will become a shame."

This is the arrogance of the psyker against the non-psychic.

Isengard vaguely understands where the inexplicable hostility of these people towards him comes from - he is not strong, and only has the second level. Although the Ellen family is powerful, he is not the heir of this generation of patriarchs. There is not much deterrence in front of powerful nobles.

Even if the mother is the emperor's daughter, it doesn't prevent them from disdain for the person who 'came through the back door' in their hearts.

normal.Isengard thought.The hostility of this group of people is actually quite cute. Compared with the scheme that really happened to him, this kind of pure malice is really fresh enough, like sour lemon juice, harmless and refreshing.

Of course, there is another kind of hostility.

"Everyone, you are still young."

A rather resounding voice sounded, causing everyone to turn their heads to look in that direction. Isengard also turned his head, and found that the other party was the Earl of Koma, a great nobleman of the Western Region and the fourth level.

Earl Korma is not a psychic, but as a great nobleman who led his territory to defend his territory under the invasion of the demon army, he had the honor to participate in the demon technology meeting in the capital of knowledge as a representative of the empire.

His true bloodline is 'Sleeping Giant Elephant', a rare giant monster bloodline, and under the influence of his true bloodline, he is more than three meters tall, looks a little fat, but actually has solid muscles.

At this moment, the earl with short gray hair and maroon eyes looked at Isengard, and said in a friendly but extremely targeted tone: "You must not underestimate the young master of our Ellen family... he But that friend of the second generation of Unmovable Fortress, Mahdi Glen."

"The young and strong man who defeated the emperor's eldest grandson and the younger generation of strong men from other countries, and is now famous."

"Although the Empire expelled the Knights of the Valley, who knows if there is any connection in private? Now that communication is so developed in this era, maybe he was communicating with his friends just now on the deck?"

"He was invited because of this... Otherwise, with the intention of the empire, how could he be sent to the capital of learning?"

Although he didn't say anything, both inside and outside the words hinted that Isengard had secretly communicated with the exiles of the empire.

It would have been fine if Isengard hadn't, but it would be a bit bad if he really had secretly communicated with the song.

What's even worse is that he didn't actually determine his label very firmly.

If it is said that he is [-]% on the side of Mahdi, the empire will not do anything to him... At least he has to be on the side of the empire, not a communication channel for brothers like Ian.

But on the surface, it seemed that he had some relationship with Mahdi only because of his relationship with Ian, and it was not that good.

This will make people feel a little different, and even think that he is just a speculator, which is quite despised.

——When other people say that you have a relationship with the exile appointed by the emperor of the empire, you better really have a relationship.jpg
This is actually one of the embarrassments that Isengard has encountered recently.

During the trip to the Institute of Alien Species, Isengard, Ian and Anfa all had exchanges with Mahdi Glen, and they were obviously members of the same team.

Ian is a prophet, not to mention that he secretly communicated with the exiles of the empire, even if he really called his senior brother every day in his own territory, few people would dare to monitor it—they still had the great victory in the South Ridge leaders, but those who still want to go to the south in the future, it is best to pretend not to see it.

Anfana is the princess of the ten blood kings of Canaan Moore, or the princess of the victor's side, and may be the successor of the fifth energy level in the future... With this status, what accusation do the imperial people use?Accusing foreigners of making contact with their exiled Knights of the Glen?This is a matter of course!

You know, the black princess Galan of the National Domain Department who abandoned the dark for the bright and accepted the blood of the ancestor of the Guoyu, once directly invited the Knights of the Valley to join with her as a bargaining chip.

Only Isengard, who is also a member of the empire, an imperial nobleman, is not strong, and is not a local lord... His good relationship with the Mahdi will naturally lead to the contraction of his relationship circle in the imperial capital.

No one wants to be noticed by His Majesty the Emperor.

Although he doesn't have much influence in the academic circle, in the aristocratic circle, it is indeed difficult for him to be a man.

This is why both Ian and Isengard have considered letting him go to Nanling. Now that the Yinfeng leader is getting bigger and bigger, other leading managers are needed, and Isengarde has to reduce his existence feel.

As for this Earl of Koma, why is he so dissatisfied with Isengard and Mahdi...

very simple.He is a typical aristocrat who was robbed of many post-war reconstruction orders by Yinfeng, and Ian and Mahdi were not happy to see him.

"Count Colmar."

So Isengard frowned slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I got an invitation from the chief scholar of the capital of learning, the Grand Bachelor of Kruizien, please be careful."

"As for your accusations, I will write them all down. When we return to the imperial capital in the future, we can have a good discussion in the noble court."

"Hehe, don't be so hot-tempered, young people."

Earl Koma sneered and said, "Speaking of which, it's a coincidence. I also have a mission to go to the capital of learning this time."

"The Knight of the Valley is so powerful because the first knight gave him all his inheritance, many of which are the resources of the empire... It is said that during the dark moon turmoil, the first knight took away the royal legacy."

"Those heritages are irrelevant. The most important thing is that His Majesty the late Emperor supported the First Knight's research on the 'Extreme Realm'. It cannot be lost. It is the result of the resources poured into the entire empire, and the Knights of the Valley cannot be allowed to hold on to it alone. have."

"This time I meet with the Knight of the Valley, I will definitely ask for an explanation."

"Indeed!" "Indeed, as it should be!"

Other imperial nobles and envoys also followed suit.

In this regard, Isengard did not feel any pressure, but felt a little funny.

It's so classic, whether it's Count Colmar or other nobles, it's just right that it's cocky and egotistical.

After staying with smart people for a long time, Isengard even forgot that the continent of Terra is so big and there are so many nobles, and there are not many idiots, so you thought it would be impossible in the world of Datong?
But in fact, it may not be stupid.

Isengard silently stepped aside, his 'submissive' reaction made it impossible for Earl Korma and others to continue the conversation.

And with the increasingly powerful induction, Isengard also noticed that the nobles in front of them were not really discouraged, but had a sense of relief of 'goal accomplished'.

It is possible that Earl Koma and the others really came with a mission... They are laying the groundwork and gaining momentum.

When they arrived at the capital of knowledge, they could use their excuses to call Mahdi out to confront him.

No matter whether they can obtain the related technologies of Huiji Realm, they can also suppress the arrogance of this second-generation immovable strong city, and then take the lead in the next negotiation.

But thinking of this, he still couldn't help but want to complain about the grand maester Krizen who made the invitation list public—the leader of the City of Knowledge simply wanted to provoke trouble, so he made a decision before the meeting started. Let everyone know that Mahdi Glen will also be here as a watcher on Dragon Isle!
"Wish I was a prophet too."

After complaining in his heart, Isengard sighed and thought: "According to Ian himself, he can see clearly whose purpose and emotion at a glance... I'm so envious."

At this moment, under the guidance of the aerospace armor, the Muyin is gradually descending, crossing layers of artificial cloud walls, and approaching the mainland of the capital of learning.

After clouds, there are clouds.This is a barrier and a natural phenomenon. The land of cloudscape will gather the surrounding water and airborne plankton to form a huge aerial ecosystem.

When the sapphire-like airship pierced through the layered clouds, and the last mist-like barrier was also broken by the bow of the airship, Isengard, who was a little bored in his heart, couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

A whole new world unfolded before his eyes.

First of all, what catches the eye is a series of necklace-like islands in the sky, which are distributed in the outer layer in the form of three concentric ring-shaped island chains. Each island is lush and full of strange fluffy empty plants.

And around the island chain, there are a large number of large birds like giant fulmars inhabiting. They take families as units and soar around the sky island in twos and threes, driving the brisk wind that is rare at high altitudes and making melodious long calls.

The outermost island chain is the lowest in height, while the clouds supporting the second island chain are constantly flowing, like a river of heaven, falling towards the direction of the first island chain, forming a structure similar to a champagne tower, and in this champagne tower The topmost layer of the island, which is the center of the third island chain, is a vast sky world.

That is the floating continent above all the cities of Terra, even above the mountain peaks.

The capital of the capital of learning, 'Heaven Capital'.

The vortex-like surging clouds are constantly rolling. From a distance, it looks like a white cloud tornado is holding up the entire air continent. Thousands of towers stand on top of the city. The dense buildings Surrounding the tower, one small town after another was formed.

This is the destination of their action this time.

Even after seeing the majesty of the imperial capital and the majesty of the world tree capital, the shock given by the capital of knowledge is brand new, not only Isengard, even other imperial nobles who had ulterior motives are silently watching the distance at this moment They were in awe, and proud of being invited to set foot here.

And Isengard looked more carefully.

He saw that the entire capital of learning was divided into hundreds of parts by the towns around the minaret, and the bridges and small airships connected these floating islands in the sky.Small airships like a school of fish constitute the main artery of this aerial city, transporting various supplies.

Huge cargo ships accelerate from the surface to tens of thousands of meters in the air through special anti-gravity launchers. They come to the corresponding cargo dumping area, open the hatch, and the cargo like rainwater sinks into the corresponding warehouse along the special guiding force field ——All of this is automated, with a completely different style of painting from Terra today.

And he also discovered that those high towers located in the center of the city are not simply research institutes for scholars—they are actually acceleration launch towers. The acceleration, like a fountain, makes these airships draw arcs to various places in the sky city, and then slowly advance along the air road, recharge or go home.

The entire capital of knowledge is a giant aerial vehicle base—it is protected by a three-layer island chain, that is, a three-layer super-giant fortress shield generator, and it is an unfallen fortress that is always suspended above the Tranquil Sea!

No wonder, even with the madness of Feiyandi, he never invaded a corner of the knowledge capital next to him... Even the crazy Kings of Feiyan knew very well that even if the nations of Terra did not rush to help, they only The power of a city in the sky cannot be captured by their two fifth energy levels.

As for now... the fortress shield generators on the three island chains are being replaced, and that is the planetary shield launcher that originated from the imperial capital of the empire.

This unfallen city will soon be the second immovable city in the sky!
"Super giant air base..."

Isengard muttered to himself: "The final form of the floating city is here."

He fully understands why the Floating Void City in the imperial capital can be put into practical use so quickly - because all the technologies have been verified long ago, but the empire is the only one willing to pay a huge price to obtain it.

The Muyin is slowly landing, and the area where they will land is the 'Island of Envoys' that the Capital of Learning specially put together for the envoys who came to the recent meeting. The area of ​​the building is inhabited.

Many people have already arrived, and they are scattered all over the island to observe the latest batch of new visitors.

"The imperial team?"

"It's so slow to come. These Imperials just don't understand what is etiquette."

"Wait, the blond young man who got off the boat..."

After all, this is a period of total war. In order to avoid conflicts, the residences of several countries that are fighting are not together.

Even though the capital of knowledge has a ban that does not allow fighting with each other, this does not prevent them from deliberately going to the public area to provoke verbally-this is also a kind of greeting from Terra.

However, when everyone saw Isengarde, their eyes tilted towards him.

There were not even whispers on the airship before, only the scorching gazes from various ethnic groups and forces from all over the world.

——Why is everyone following me?
After realizing this, Isengard also felt a little overwhelmed... He originally felt that staying in the imperial capital was a bit uncomfortable, so he simply left for the capital of learning, but in the end he was surrounded by crowds when he arrived in the capital of knowledge. Can't figure out why.

No...it's actually pretty obvious.

After getting rid of the initial panic, Isengard quickly realized why these people were staring at him.

Still because of Mahdi.

All of them were targeting the Mahdi...all Ian.

Enemies of the Empire and allies of the Empire, dwarves and elves, demi-humans and sea-spawns, are all interested in the legacy of the First Knight.

Some want to get close to themselves, and some want to do something against themselves... Taking advantage of Mahdi's absence, oneself is the best breakthrough.

(So ​​it turns out...it seems that there are quite a few people peeping into Ian's legacy and the research of the First Knight)

Isengarde walked down the airship slowly without looking sideways. He knew very well that as long as he didn't do unnecessary things at this moment, there would be absolutely no problem—people from all major forces paid attention to him only because his strength was relatively low. As long as a gap is opened from his body, the Knight of the Valley, who theoretically has no dead ends, may also show his flaws.

Unless... Some people have already known through various channels that they have the special blood of Inaiga II in their bodies.

They are just paying attention to themselves under the title of Knight of the Valley, but they are actually peeping at the blood memory of the Black Sun...

Everything is possible.

Isengard knew that when he chose to come to the capital of knowledge, he would inevitably face such peeps and tests.

Hold on.

he thinks.After all, these people dare not make any small moves on Yingbin Island, the capital of learning.

Just get through that and wait until the meeting starts, and things will be much easier.

But in fact, Isengarde really valued the morality of this group of people... or in other words, their endurance.

As early as when the imperial airship was still landing, the envoys from the Heavenly Royal Court immediately contacted the headquarters. After obtaining permission, they immediately joined forces with the envoys from the Nine Cold Federation, Feiyandi and Junlingbao.

Their purpose is unknown, maybe they simply want to give the imperial envoy a disqualification, or they want to do something about the "special inviter" who is obviously unique, or simply I just want to have a military parade of the envoys that Terra is accustomed to... anything can happen.

But nothing happens.

Because just when Isengard sensed that something was wrong, he was frowning and thinking about whether he should use his full strength...

In the sky, a red-gold shooting star suddenly lit up.

"That is?!"

Originally at the side, knowing that the imperial envoys would definitely cause trouble when they arrived, Romani, the Lord of the Molten Iron Spire, who was about to help Isengard, opened his eyes wide and looked at the sky: "That is, the direction of Dragon Island? !"

"Wow."

The mentor of the dragon, or the dragon witch Skalai, watched this scene and couldn't help squinting: "This little guy... seems very interesting."

A red-gold light shines high above the sky, dyeing the surrounding pure white cloudscape with a faint rosy red.

With a straight trajectory, it left a very clear red scratch in the sky, the atmosphere was penetrated, the strong wind spread in all directions, and the thick atmosphere was also cut and separated, like a white cloth cut by scissors.

The valley fell from the sky.

boom! ! !
A few seconds before the final landing, the red-golden light slowed down, and it landed on Yingbin Island at a seemingly slow but fast speed, bringing with it a torrential wave and a shock wave, instantly killing almost everyone. ——Mainly it was a group of people from the Royal Court of Heaven who had already begun to approach, blowing away.

Most of the people were blown into the forest of Yingbin Island, and a few of the lighter ones seemed to be blown into the air and even off the island... Anyway, the people in the capital of knowledge will not be in danger if they take care of them, and the owner of the light will not be in danger. I don't care too much.

And after the shock wave and smoke, a towering and sturdy dark golden dragon appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Standing next to Isengard who was clearly in the center but was not swept by the shock wave.

——You have grasped the timing very well, right?Essengard gestured with his eyes.

——I hung in the sky for two days, just waiting for you to arrive, so I can see who has ulterior motives.Ian replied with his eyes: (Don't be careless, there was really malice against you in the crowd just now, they probably really noticed some clues of your blood)
Isengarde understood very well, he hid behind the dragon very naturally,

【sorry.Maybe a little out of control. 】

The dark golden dragon said in a steady voice: [I just felt that someone seemed to be trying to harm me and my friends—who is it, can you stand up and talk to me? 】

Although the words were humble, no one felt that the Knight of the Valley...or rather, the real dragon in front of him was being humble.

Ian never made things difficult for his friends.He also never made things difficult for himself and his friends.

His dark golden eyes swept across the audience to see which stunned young man really dared to stand up—or didn't take a step back.

At that time, Ian would never be polite, and would give him a dragon's breath fiercely.

Even the powerhouse who is also at the fourth energy level frowned and retreated slightly, unwilling to face the sharp edge directly.

The Yingbin Island Plaza fell into silence to welcome its most distinguished guest.
