The bookkeeper was bloodbathed, but no one knew the truth behind it. Those were all he learned after piecing together the stories passed down through the Midi region. Someone has not had the chance to read the formal history book of Lost Land.
After the night when the bookkeeper was bloodbathed, all the buildings in the basin except the Great Library were demolished, and no one was allowed to live nearby. At the same time, five five-story magic towers were built on the surrounding hills, forming a six-pointed star formation, completely protecting the Great Library.
Of course, this does not prohibit everyone from accessing the knowledge in the collection. This is just what the magicians think can be done to protect and borrow at the same time. Afterwards, the top leaders of the Magicians Association also used their own actions to show that they had no intention of blocking knowledge, but there were only some rules that were different from those in the past that had to be followed.
All personnel responsible for library work must live on the other side of the hill and cannot enter during work. And those magicians who study library knowledge must also abide by such rules. In the basin, residential buildings or magic laboratories are no longer allowed to be built around the Great Library. All buildings only serve to protect and collect knowledge, otherwise they are not allowed to exist.
In other words, the closest ones that can be inhabited are actually the six five-story magic towers guarding the Great Library.
But not everyone can live in it, or has the courage to live in it. The magic tower is under the control of the tower owner, which means that the lives of other people in the magic tower are under the control of the tower owner. In addition, the tower owner has absolute power in the magic tower, and he will not be held accountable for killing many people. So most people who cherish life will choose to live on the other side of the hills.
Therefore, people from all over the world come here to pursue knowledge, with the six magic towers as the end points, radiating outward to form the six urban areas of Estali. And so far, the expanded urban areas have been connected to each other, forming an urban layout in which the city is surrounded by six hills and magic towers, and the magic tower's six-pointed star formation surrounds the Great Library.
Nowadays, the Holy City of Estali is not only the branch headquarters of the local Feist District, but also the headquarters of the Magician Association. Among the tower owners of the six magic towers, except one who is the president of the district branch, the other five are the five presidents of the general association.
In other words, the highest authority of the Magician Association is divided among five people, rather than concentrated in one person. However, in actual operation, it is more like five people taking turns taking care of things, while the others are lazy.
But even though it is said to be the highest authority of the association, there is actually nothing it can do. The reason why it is divided into so many districts is because each district is vast and difficult to communicate with each other, so there is little intersection. Therefore, each division mostly does its own thing and does not need a superior to guide them in doing things.
At most, when there are disputes between each other, they can use the energy pool of the magic tower to perform the Charles Calling Technique, hold a Midland-style online video conference, and have a verbal spat in front of the president.
But even if the president makes a decision and the district presidents below refuse to accept it, there is honestly nothing they can do. It's like there was a branch president in history who directly declared to defy the president's decision and choked: "Hit me if you don't like it, you idiot!"
...No one can really do anything to him, unless the General Assembly has to travel thousands of miles and send enough people across the entire Lost Continent to teach the rude district president a lesson. If we really do that, the wasted manpower and material resources will not be equalized even if all the benefits that caused the dispute are used as compensation. So the matter was settled.
Real lords do not act for the sake of face, only nobles do this. Masters only consider reality and truth.
But that doesn’t mean that presidents just hang on to a title and do nothing. One of their more important responsibilities is to manage the large library, and to research, organize, and classify the knowledge collected in the library or sent to it. Because when it comes to judgment issues, it is really impossible to convince other magicians to recognize their judgments without their highly respected academic status.
Therefore, in the Holy City of Estali, the first tower I was established was stationed by the district president of the First District and was mainly responsible for administrative affairs. Towers No. ii to No. VI are responsible for knowledge and academic work, but of course there are still some divisions in detailed responsibilities. This resulted in the six districts of the Holy City having their own personalities and therefore focusing on different life functions.
"So, having said all that, which area are you going to park in?" Goblin Totokani asked as he parked the Sid high above the Holy City.
The reason why I ask this is of course because the Holy City is vast and the six districts have their own airship docking ports. Although there is no prohibition on passing between each other, if you make a decision from the beginning, you can avoid a lot of unnecessary mistakes. Although Totokani has little experience, under the advice of a senior airship pilot, he will introduce and inquire every new traveler as the owner of the airship.
Using the first coffin to open the miniature of the Holy City, Lin seemed to be thinking about the goblin's problem seriously. This scene made Totokani a little envious, of course, mainly because he was greedy for the various functions of the coffin. That thing will be taken away with the magicians after they leave, and will not be left on the airship. The magician also admitted that if he could defeat the Demon King, he could keep whatever he wanted...
Well, it can't be done. In Totokani's opinion, the Demon King was undoubtedly the pinnacle among this group of people.
Ranked second, although he didn't want to admit it, he actually thought it was the male magician, not the black dragon. Flash Technique plus Boxriver, he has never seen a more despairing combination than this one.
Black Dragon relies on the characteristics of the race itself to occupy the third strongest position. The rest of the people were classified at the same level by the goblins.
For the male magician, Totokani, who had a little idea of his personality, dared to joke or argue. But if the target were the Demon King, he wouldn't even dare to breathe. Therefore, the longing for the first coffin can only be buried deeply. As for collecting the materials to make one... Totokani gave up the idea after seeing the purple transformation-level magic stone in the first coffin.
And it didn't take long to think about someone. Anyway, they were unfamiliar with the place. Lin directly stretched out his hand towards Halumi and said: "Girl, lucky gold coin."
The blond girl who was named was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered the gold coin that had been given to her for safekeeping and had been specially modified by someone with the dwarf lucky runes on it. Because she was required to carry it with her, she habitually carried it with her even if she hadn't used it for a while. So quickly, Halumi took out the gold coin with human heads on both sides from a small cloth bag and handed it to his teacher.
I took over this very commemorative gold coin that was transformed from the fine money of the Karlsruhe Empire in the south of Midland. Lin shrunk the actual picture of Estali, and used the shaping technique to build a temporary wall around the outside of the picture. He murmured: "The sky is spirited, the earth is spirited, the Supreme Lord has come to show his spirit. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva gives guidance, and Mazu empress explains the puzzle. Wherever the gold coin falls, it will go." After saying that, he stretched out his fingers.
The gold coin was bounced into the sky in full view of everyone. During the flip, it drew a beautiful arc and fell towards the reduced real-life image. After bouncing a few times, it even hit the outer wall and bounced back. Finally, the gold coin spun around in place for a few times before settling down. Everyone took a look and saw that it was located in Area VI of Estali.
With the result in hand, Lin stopped worrying and said, "Totokani, just send us to Area VI."
"Teacher, is it really okay to decide to go to Area VI?" Halumi asked, frowning.
Someone who was immune to such questions from female compatriots picked up the lucky gold coin, stuffed it into Halumi's hand, and said, "If you don't think it's good, just throw it to a place that satisfies you."
Except for one person, everyone looked at the coin that was put back into the hands of the blond girl. By the way, along the way, I have decided the direction this way many times when I encountered a fork in the road. Even if other people want to find fault, they will always be dismissed with this sentence. Maybe the new ones didn't feel it yet, but Fen and the two girls had some small complaints about someone's irresponsibility. But... so what?
I saw that some people no longer took care of this matter, and those who wanted to take care of it seemed to have helpless expressions on their faces, unable to continue taking care of it. Of course Totokani knew that this matter was settled. In other words, the Sid was controlled to descend and emerge from the bottom of the clouds.
As the altitude decreases, the city becomes larger. The Sid, advancing at a low speed, still surpassed several other airships flying in the sky. Because there is no concept of air supremacy or airspace in Midi, Totokani boldly cut the watermelon directly, crossed the sky over the holy city of Estali, and directly arrived at the airship docking port in Area VI.
Spotting an opening, swaying left and right, the Sid nimbly passed through the gap between airships in the sky and came directly above the opening. Because the speed was already very low, we did not open the speed parachute at the rear of the boat. Instead, we directly pulled up the clutch, shifted into reverse gear, reversed the propeller, and lowered the landing gear at the same time.
Under the control of the goblin, the Sid landed safely in the open space using fancy landing techniques that were difficult for others to understand. It's just that in someone's eyes, such an operation is the result of mistakes, corrections, mistakes, corrections, and constant mistakes and corrections. It is not a fancy landing to show off your skills. I almost feel airsick sitting there.
Pull the clutch up and shift into neutral. Although the engine idled, the propeller stopped spinning. Totokani followed the operating instructions and confirmed that the instrument status was normal before shutting down according to standard procedures.
Arrival at the holy city of Estali.
All the magical power is returned to the energy assembly of the airship, and the light in the operation of the magic circle gradually dims as the power fades. Only a few oil and gas lamps were left, illuminating the enclosed cabin space very brightly.
As one of the products of crude oil fractionation, oil and gas were not retained due to expediency in the Jura Mountains. When the Sid was refitted for the second time in Abadan City, a gas storage tank was specially built next to the fractionation tower to store the oil and gas that was originally thought to be of little use.
However, the small kitchen stove and lighting equipment on the airship unexpectedly made oil and gas useful. It saves things that require power to be carried out, such as lighting the interior of the airship without opening windows, and using magic flames to maintain the temperature of the furnace to cook food. This coming and going has increased the energy efficiency of the Sid by several percentage points.
Although there was lighting in the cabin, Totokani still opened the door of the airship and waited for the Estali tax collector to board the boat for inspection. Although the Holy City of Estari is not actually under the jurisdiction of the Gwana Empire, because it is within the scope of the empire, some administrative procedures are roughly the same.
The magician in charge of managing the local airport quickly boarded the Sid with several young and clever-looking magic apprentices.
