Chapter 294: Meteorite Remains
Some professionals who think they are strong enough to have a share of the feast or who intend to fish in troubled waters have set off overnight and rushed to Magna Province by various means.
Of course, due to the advantages brought by the prophecy, the first to arrive, or to say that they have been waiting at the point where the meteorite fell, are still the Gloria Royal Family, the Continental Magic Council, the Holy Light Church and other forces.
However, after all, they are in the territory of the Gloria Empire, and the people of other forces symbolically hide their identities.
As the ruler of Magna Province, the foundation of the Enoch family cannot be compared with these real top continental forces, but after all, they have the advantage of geographical location and also arrived at the scene before the meteorite light fell to the ground.
At the moment when the huge meteorite hit the earth, the two ninth-level extreme strongmen of the Enoch family made a full effort to direct most of the destructive power generated by the meteorite falling into the sky, minimizing the damage caused by the impact aftermath.
However, when the light of the meteorite dissipated, the things that appeared in the huge impact crater with a diameter of nearly 100 kilometers were beyond the expectations of almost everyone.
That star is not a special precious alchemical material/extraterrestrial alien existence/source of disaster as most people guessed, but an extremely vast and ruined city!
A huge platinum-colored ancient tower stands in a corner of the city, half of which has been torn apart by some force. The stone buildings are full of cracks and erosion marks, but the elegance and magnificence of the past can be vaguely seen.
Although it has just experienced an unimaginable huge impact, most of its architectural structures are still strangely well preserved, as if some power is always protecting it.
However, after taking a closer look at the city, the eyes of many professionals present suddenly have some unknown meanings.
In contrast, the faces of the mages of the Continental Magic Council became extremely solemn.
It's not how twisted and terrifying the ruined city is, but the unique sense of familiarity.
The architectural style of this ruined city is too similar to the floating city of the Magic Council, as if it was designed by the same designer!
Considering the way it fell from the night sky, it is not difficult for everyone to think of a shocking and bold guess.
This is probably the remains of a floating city!
If it is really as everyone guessed, then things become interesting.
Now, the Yar Continent is not like the peak period of the ancient magic empire, when there were nine floating cities hanging high in the sky.
Except for the only intact sky city in the hands of the mainland magic council, the other eight have long disappeared in the long river of history with the day of destruction.
And the power of the sky city has been confirmed in a devastating war.
At first, when the magic council just repaired the floating city, the Saint Messia Empire and the Gloria Empire believed that the floating city, as the supreme magic creation of the ancient magic empire, would be an unstable factor if it was wandering outside, and they both hoped to recover it.
The magic council flatly rejected the request of the two empires, so the two empires directly sent troops to attack.
Saint Messiah I sent an elite Judgment Army led by several ninth-order extreme priests to the location of the floating city, which is the mourning forest in the west of the Itel Federation.
Gloria II sent high-level elite troops such as the Sky Knights and the Royal Mage Corps, led by three ninth-orders, to slowly advance to the floating city.
But secretly, the empire sent a secret team of several ninth-orders, including two ninth-order extreme mages, with the intention of directly gaining control of the floating city and transferring it to the empire.
Before the war was about to break out, several lone ninth-orders went to the vicinity of the floating city to try to see if there was any opportunity to fish in troubled waters after the war broke out.
In the 452nd year of the Glorious Calendar, the 26th day of the Frostfall Month.
The Judgment Army arrived at the floating city and the two sides launched a devastating war.
It is known in history as the Battle of the Silver Sand Sea.
The war lasted for a day and a night, and the sky above the battlefield became extremely pure, without a trace of clouds.
The surface within hundreds of kilometers was completely transformed into fine silver-white gravel, and the brilliance of magic and divine arts illuminated the entire sky.
The lone ninth-level waiting nearby had already retreated far away to avoid being affected by the aftermath.
The result of this battle was beyond everyone's expectations: the Judgment Army returned in defeat, with a 20% reduction in personnel, and one ninth-level priest died.
Several ninth-levels who watched the war publicly stated that they would not attack the floating city again.
In this war, the secret ninth-level team sent by the Empire never showed up.
But at a certain moment, the slowly marching Empire troops suddenly changed their formation and marched back to the Empire at a completely different speed from when they came, and did not comment on the results of the war.
The Itel Free Federation announced that after friendly negotiations between the Federation and the Magic Council, the two sides successfully resolved the previous misunderstanding and reached a deep strategic cooperative relationship.
The Federation recognizes that the territorial sovereignty of the Silver Sand Sea within hundreds of kilometers centered on the floating city belongs entirely to the Magic Council.
After the battle of Silver Sand Sea, all the forces on the continent had witnessed the terrifying power of the floating city, and they had a strong desire for it. There was even a short-lived craze to search for the remains of the floating city.
After all, there were nine sky cities in the ancient magic empire. Even if the Magic Council found one, there were still eight that were missing!
The three empires also secretly offered a sky-high reward, no matter who you are, no matter what your previous identity was.
As long as you can bring any news related to the whereabouts of the floating city and it is confirmed, you will directly obtain the equivalent of the ninth-level title, territory, and cultivation resources that can guarantee your strength to the ninth level!
However, in the next few hundred years, no one on the entire continent got anything, and several pieces of news that were difficult to distinguish between true and false were eventually falsified, and the craze gradually faded away.
But now, the wreckage of the city in front of us has made the minds of the major forces active again.
A new ownerless sky city wreckage!
If it can be repaired and raised to the sky again, it will indeed be enough to break the current situation of the entire continent.
In fact, with the current level of magic development on the continent, more than 90% of the magic structure of the sky city can be perfectly restored.
The reason why the major forces are still so keen on finding the wreckage is precisely because no one can restore the most critical core of the sky city.
The synonym of miracle, the infinite source of magic power - the eternal core
The fall of this relic can trigger the vibration of the fate network of the entire continent, which means that the eternal core in this relic is very likely to be well preserved!
At this moment, in everyone's perception, the power of the fate of the city that was wrapped in the fall has gradually dissipated, and only the faint residual heat generated by the friction of the meteorite with the air remains in the air.
After looking at each other from a distance vigilantly, everyone did not delay any longer, and quickly turned into streams of light and rushed into the city.
Although they were in the hostile camp, no one took action for the time being. Because there were too many ninth-level strongmen present, a rash move could easily cause a chain reaction and lead to siege by others.
In addition, this piece of city ruins was only a small part of the two halves of the meteorite fragments, and it was not certain whether there was an eternal core.
It would not be too late to take action when the real discovery was made.
