Lord of Arcane

Chapter 560 The name of the floating city is hard to tell
The first to play were ten elven mages from Comanthor. Their ages could not be seen from their appearance, but their spells were limited to below the 8th level. Referring to the previous games, they might not necessarily have an advantage.

But the problem is that [The Grand Illusion] is not just an arcane competition, it is more like an art performance, and in the field of art, without a long history and profound heritage, it is difficult for humans or dwarves to compete with it. showdown.

When the ten elf mages stood in the center of the arena, eyes of admiration, disgust, joy, or expectation were projected on them.

The spell has not started yet, just the elf itself can be called the artistic display of the creator, and a deep red mist has already filled the bottom of the diamond-shaped crystal.

When the spell started, the scene in the arena suddenly changed. The night sky was dark, but the surrounding lights were brightly lit, just like daytime, and joyful singing could be vaguely heard floating in the wind.

There are tall towers in the distance, connected by suspended corridors, either directly connected like bridges, or moved randomly like ships, and occasionally there are elves riding back and forth on flying horses.

Then the angle of view zoomed in and fell in front of a palace on the ground. Countless elves stood on the square in front of the palace, looking at the front with reverence. It was the scene of the royal family's coronation.

But this scene was not fully shown, and then the perspective was zoomed out again, so far that the city could be seen in full view, and everyone discovered at this time that it turned out to be a miraculous city suspended in the sky and overlooking the earth.

Such a scene, even if Xia Duo had seen the bustling city of ancient elves in [Projection Plane Maierita Sukanvisa City], he had to admit that this floating city really surprised him.

Xia Duo is like this, other people who have never even seen what the elves look like should be even more surprised!

The illusion finally freezes on a farsighted picture of the floating city, and then gradually fades away. The surrounding scenes return to reality, and there is silence in the arena.

Xia Duo himself recalled the scene he had just seen, which was somewhat similar to the VR images on Earth. It was indeed exquisite, spectacular, and novel, but there was still a lingering sense of falsehood.

Such a large scene can hardly be constructed perfectly with only ten mages. If it is used to fight against the enemy, it is easy to find flaws, but if it is used for performances, the flaws will not hide the advantages.

Looking at the diamond-shaped crystal in the center of the arena, the lower half is almost filled with a thick, constantly surging red mist. This is the first round. Instead of performing, he felt that those dwarfs might be dying.

……

"What a miraculous floating city!"

On the main seat, Princess Shia praised without hesitation, but then said, "This floating city shouldn't really exist!"

"Your Highness, although the floating city they showed just now is not real, the elves did build a floating city 1 years ago."

As soon as Suviris finished speaking, another elf was displeased. The representative of Ilfaran and the high mage Tyron, who came only on the third day of the snowmelt competition, immediately sarcastically said:

"Kormansor has been a country for less than a thousand years, so how do you know what happened ten thousand years ago?"

It is true that Cormanthor was founded for less than a thousand years, but the existence of many high-ranking families can be traced back to ten thousand years ago. However, Su Weiris did not refute. Survived the Crown Wars.

But history is not equal to national power, and it is meaningless to argue about this, but he stopped talking, and Master Tailun still did not miss any chance to attack Comanthor:
"Thousands of years ago, some elves did try to build a floating city, but they didn't succeed. In the end, they just built a floating fortress that was barely able to fly. Suweilis, do you know who the builder of that floating fortress is? ?”

Su Weiris continued to remain silent, because he really didn't know, he only knew that there might have been a floating city in history.

Princess Xiya was quite interested in this, and asked, "Master Tailun, who built the floating fortress?"

"I dare not say their original names. As for their current names, Su Weiris should be very familiar with them. Didn't they just break through your line of defense some time ago?"

— Drow!
What should be known about what happened on Comanthor's side is now known, especially Suviris, who was surprised that Tyron knew the situation on the domestic front line, and was also surprised that Tyron mentioned that Drow once built Pass the floating fortress.

He wanted to ask, but couldn't let go of his face, so he just snorted coldly and ignored the other party.

As for the others, it is not convenient to continue to ask questions on this occasion, just keep this matter in mind, and ask questions later when I have time.

……

On the field, El Carmon cleared the detection record of the diamond-shaped crystal, and then announced that the game would continue, and the next player to appear was Master Yeerlan.

After the ten Yeerlan mages stood still, they did not start immediately like the Comanso mages, but paused for a while. It was this moment that also won them part of the dark red mist in the diamond-shaped crystal.

Moreover, since most of the ten Yeerlan mages are moon elves, most of the audience in the arena are humans. Compared with the light golden skin of the Comansor gold elves, the fair skin of the moon elves is obviously more in line with human aesthetics.

Elves, regardless of gender, are very handsome in appearance, and humans don't need to distinguish whether they are male or female, just appreciate them.

And the phantom of Mage Yeerlan, to some extent, is also more in line with human taste than the phantom of Mage Cormanthor——

In the forest, a group of elven warriors are advancing fast. The angle of view is zoomed out, and countless elven warriors are rushing to the battlefield. In the center of the battlefield, the armies of both sides are still fighting continuously, stepping on the corpses and plasma of the same kind.

Sword and magic, intertwined light and shadow, a cruel and bloody war scene unfolds.

And this is not over yet, the angle of view continues to zoom out, and as a dark light flashes by, the two sides that were fighting fell down at the same time, and then slowly stood up, but after they got up, they did not continue to fight, but joined forces with more The same kind, continue in the other direction.

The illusion scene ended, and the venue was silent as it was after the performance of the Cormanthor mage.

……

Xia Duo calmly wiped away the sweat from his palms. Compared with the slightly exaggerated scene of Floating Void City, this extremely real killing scene is even more shocking.

On Earth, Xia Duo has seen a lot of weird, magnificent and gorgeous scenes, but compared to magic landscaping, the sense of substitution is not strong.

But there is only one kind, which is hard to see on Earth, or more precisely, in Xia Duo's hometown, and that is the real killing scene.

Sword killings, magic killings, countless corpses and blood plasma are full of sense of substitution. Even though Xia Duo has traveled through time, he has personally experienced some killings, but this kind of pure killing that seems to have no other purpose still makes his heart beat faster.

"It's probably only a few plots and sounds away from the epic blockbuster!" Xia Duo murmured.

Looking at the "score" again, the scale of the dark red mist in the diamond-shaped crystal has surpassed the previous scene of the floating city performed by Master Cormanthor.

Sure enough, blood, violence, war, and killing are still more likely to stimulate people's emotions!
