Chapter 1581 A First Exploration of the Floating Island
The person who came was Lin, who had just taken over the task of designing a simple magic tower for war from the old Lord Kawei.
In fact, most of the design drafts are already available, and we also have certain ideas about new energy pools. But how could Lin not be interested when he had the opportunity to see the pinnacle of ancient man-made artifacts - the Myser Energy Core?
Although I saw the 'experimental work' of the Mysel Energy Core in Iron City, the retreat of the Silverbeard Dwarves, the intelligence contained in it almost wiped out the Silverbeard Dwarves. But according to the Silverbeard dwarves, there is still a big gap between the failed product and the finished product.
It's just that although the inheritance of the Silver Beard Dwarves retains relevant knowledge, because it also involves the secrets of other races, even if the Silver Beard Dwarves have the materials, they cannot recreate a complete energy core on their own.
They couldn't tell the difference between the experimental work and the finished product. It's just that the person responsible for supervising the construction decides whether it can or cannot decide the fate of this energy core.
At that time, it wasn't like Lin didn't think about seeing a real Mithron core. It's just that he can't find any trace of the floating island, even if he tries any method. Of course, I didn’t get a chance to see the full version of the Miser Energy Core.
Although someone has a relatively deep knowledge of the arcane eye, there is almost nothing that cannot be detected, but the premise is that the object is within the detection range. Therefore, if Lin wants to use the Arcane Eyes to find the floating island, he must first confirm which area the other party is in.
...Isn’t it that I don’t even know where the floating island is? If it had been known, it would have been found long ago.
Unless the Arcane Eyes are made into clusters today and have a global layout...are they thinking of themselves as the Magnesium Emperor, or a vigilante hero like the Watchtower in DC?
Let’s not consider the cost of doing such a layout. If you really made this set, what would it be used for? Even if you don’t use it yourself, you give it to others, why? Instead of claiming to be the king and hegemon, he should instead support the dragon? What's wrong with lying down at home after eating?
In short, the traces of the five floating islands have been hidden so far, and Lin can't find any clues. Even Lin thought that the floating island had left the lost world and gone to other places or other planes. So I gave up and continued the search.
Now, because of the fight against the abyss invasion, a floating island was forced out. Isn't this an opportunity for someone?
The reason why Lin didn't run to the island immediately was because he wanted to wait and see first to see the island's style and stance. After all, according to informal historical records, the five floating islands were separated at the first opportunity, and even started a civil war.
It can be seen that the camp attributes of the five islands are different and even conflict with each other.
As a group of people who specialize in magic and have achieved such achievements, it is conceivable that there would be such divisions. On the contrary, the situation where the five islands are closely aligned is the most unlikely thing to happen.
But Lin also marked it in advance to prevent the floating island from suddenly disappearing again. This mark was placed in the uninhabited area at the bottom of the island, and we stayed there for a short period of time; this was also to observe the warning measures of the floating island. But it seemed that Lin was not discovered.
After a period of side observation and understanding from all aspects of the information available on the forum, Lin probably figured out what these people were thinking. The only thing uncertain is their purpose in doing so.
I just happened to be waiting for a mission today while being bused by the old Kawi, and the Miser Energy Core and the Energy Pool belong to the same category. Maybe I can find more inspiration and reference points from the full version of the Energy Core. So doing two things at the same time, Lin began to think about the issue of entering the front of the floating island.
Before, I was doing some sneaky things in the uninhabited area at the bottom. It should be considered normal that he was not discovered, or he was just lucky. Lin believes that the former is more likely.
Because there are not only plants growing at the bottom of the floating island, but also some magical birds that live here. Some build nests on the branches, and some live directly in the holes. Each has its own area and does not interfere with each other. Just no ordinary birds.
Based on Lin's observations at the time, it is very likely that the floating island is usually suspended in the sky at a considerable height. At such a height, ordinary birds have no way of surviving. Only a demon bird that is full of power can rely on its talent to withstand the low temperature and thin air in the high altitude.
In fact, when he saw a creature at the bottom of the floating island for the first time, Lin doubted whether it was the magical bird for security kept on the floating island. However, after several trials, I was able to determine that these were all wild, not domesticated, and of course had nothing to do with the floating island's warning system.
Since there are creatures at the bottom of the floating island, and they are still wild, it should be proved that the floating island's management of the uninhabited area at the bottom is loose and has loopholes. However, I have no obligation to help others solve such problems, let alone come to them and proactively notify them of such matters.
What we want to enter this time is the front of the island. This group of guys who call themselves Heavenly People are in the living area, residential area, and management area of the floating island, where all activities occur. Under such circumstances, could I still remain undetected and simply find what I was looking for and leave?
Although Lin was very confident in the concealment-oriented White Tiger Robe he designed, he was only 50% sure that he would not be discovered after landing on the floating island. The reason why the success rate is so low is because there are only two outcomes: 'being discovered' and 'not being discovered'.
The Floating Island comes from ancient magic inheritance, and has been isolated from the main world of Lost Land for so long. It can be said that even if there is knowledge from the same source, there will be a considerable chance to find a different path.
So are my concealment methods still useful? Has Floating Island developed another set of investigation methods? These are the risks to which you are exposed.
But no matter how great the risk is, this trip must be made. So after Lin first built himself up mentally, he used the flash technique to move to a higher altitude than the floating island. The purpose of doing this is to observe the front of the island from a God's perspective and find a suitable place to sneak into.
Lin did not dare to use the Arcane Eyes for active detection. Because doing this, in the eyes of some people who are very sensitive to magic power, is the same as announcing with great fanfare that 'he is here'.
The person who bets on a city that uses magic to pull a large piece of land into the sky has a dinosaur-level sense of power. It's better to bet that monkeys can't climb trees and cats can't eat fish. Anyway, these are unlikely to happen.
So Lin is very careful. After carefully choosing an invasion direction, he used the flash technique to enter Ada among the five floating islands in the Lost Land.
Just as soon as he set foot on the floating island, Lin felt a strong sense of unreality. Even though he is wearing a white tiger robe and all kinds of concealment magic is fully activated, he is now walking between reality and illusion, but his five senses are still uncompromisingly 'real'.
In order to adjust to this situation, Lin spent a lot of thought. After all, in all worlds and planes, if you want to obtain the most information from the target under investigation, the best way is to be in the same position as the opponent.
If you stay in a different location, what you see will be distorted to some extent. If you can't get the most real and usable data, you might as well completely escape into other worlds or planes. Why bother crossing multiple realms?
Therefore, Lin was very confident. With the power of the white tiger robe fully activated, he could still feel the touch of green grass under his feet. You can smell the fragrance of new shoots covered with soil after the spring rain. And most recently, the stench of rotting corpses and blood. There are also half-orcs, a race that prides itself on not bathing, and has marinated itself in the sour smell for a lifetime.
But standing on the floating island, Lin felt something was wrong. As for what was wrong, he couldn't tell for a while.
Then he turned around and looked around, trying to find the source of this strong sense of dissonance. Lin unexpectedly realized that he seemed to be surrounded!
The last time I sneaked into the Gate of the Abyss for reconnaissance, I was also surrounded by the succubus army led by the succubus king. But at that time, the Arcane Eye prop used for reconnaissance was exposed. Although it was hidden, the fluctuation of power still attracted the attention of the devil.
This time I didn't bring anything extra, and the power of the white tiger robe was fully activated. So this group of heavenly beings on the floating island happened to surround the place where he was standing due to other reasons?
On the floating island, the heavenly beings surrounding Lin were not wearing kite suits. They did not show their true colors, but wore another type of full-coverage armor.
The most obvious feature is of course the missing pair of wings on its back. Instead, a ray-like plug-in board was inserted in a circle on the back, and there was a diamond-shaped generating device at the end, which connected all the plug-in boards with a halo of light. Make them look like the Buddha with the backlight in someone's hometown Buddhist painting.
However, these people are definitely not Buddhas, and the circle of light is not a sign of perfect merit. It seems that after a certain device is activated, the excess energy cannot be effectively used and the excess energy overflows. Simply put, it is entropy.
As for the function of this device, Lin guessed that it was some kind of anti-gravity device. Because this group of people are floating in the air without any resistance, their actions are all carried out off the ground, and they do not step directly on the ground.
The reason why I didn't guess about other devices that allowed these celestial beings to float in the air was because they didn't have jet devices on them. Whether this equipment is used or not is quite obvious. At least the air that is sprayed out and used to propel the main body must find a source.
As for other speculations, they are even more unreasonable. At least there is no guess that can support them flying in from a distance and surrounding someone.
Anti-gravity magic is on the list of apprentice-level magics, which shows that its difficulty in learning is not very high. It's just that it's easy to get started but difficult to master, and few people can use anti-gravity magic freely. Therefore, if the magic apprentices in the Lost Land want to fly freely, they still have to learn flying skills instead of relying on anti-gravity magic.
But what Lin is really concerned about is that these celestial beings are not like the succubus at the gate of the abyss, who just guessed that there is someone at a certain location, but don't know the precise direction.
The circle formed by heavenly beings clearly knew where someone was, and everyone was staring in the same direction.
However, even though these celestial beings also wore masks, Lin still felt a little unconfident in their hearts. Not sure if there are really people here. One big proof is that they didn't even take out their weapons. Otherwise, someone is so blind that they don't even recognize weapons.
Is this a true discovery or a false discovery? Do you want to take the initiative to jump out? Lin struggled.
