Chapter 156

two days later.

Ren stood on the deck and looked ahead. The river became wider and wider, and the rushing water became a bit turbid. Along the banks of the river was an endless plain. Houses gradually became denser, and large tracts of fertile farmland were planted. All kinds of crops.

On the distant horizon, a huge city loomed in the midday sun.

"Modu is here."

Ren's mood was a bit complicated, with a bit of anxiety.

Once he enters the most prosperous trading capital in the world, he will usher in an unknown fate.

The two ladies beside him, upon hearing what he said, Pansil nodded, and Oxilia glanced at him without saying a word.

After spending two days together on the ship, Renn probably got a feel for the temperament of this giant dragon mage. On the surface, she was a little indifferent, repulsive, and somewhat arrogant. In fact, she was interested in many things. , full of curiosity about unknown things.

Most of the time, she will be in the perspective of the observer, like a silent audience.

Under the seemingly silent appearance, he is enjoying the drama in front of him with great interest, but his inner activities are actually very active.

For example, now, Ren can sense that Oxilia should be muttering something to herself with this simple exclamation.

"It's a pity that I can't read minds, otherwise I can listen to what she is thinking."

Ryan thought regretfully.

After a while, the ship got closer and closer to the city, and the tall buildings became more and more clearly visible in the field of vision, forming a unique skyline.

Although their height is far inferior to the high-rise buildings in the previous life, and their appearance is relatively simple, not bright enough, it still makes Ren feel emotional, they are really too similar.

Looking from a distance, it seems to have returned to a modern metropolis.

However, this city also has a scenery that was unattainable in the previous life. Above the city center, a huge monster is suspended above the clouds, which can be seen even hundreds of miles away.

"Wezeland Floating Void City!"

Ren's spirit was refreshed. Since the crossing, he had heard about it from people or read the story of the Floating Void City many times. In the eyes of the people of the empire, the status of the Floating Void City is too important, it means so much, and countless people yearn for it.

Until today, he finally saw a floating city.

Open the eyes of the soul, expand the field of vision to the maximum, and take in the entire floating city. At first glance, the Floating Void City is an irregular cone as a whole, as if the top of a mountain is cut off, and then the top is turned upside down to build the city on the cut-off plane.

In fact, the earliest floating city was built in this way.

The world's first floating city, Master Ogulevi's Nether floating city, is to cut off the entire mountain peak with magic, and then let it fly into the sky.

But Wezeland Floating City is not the case.

Ren has read relevant information. When Wezeland Floating City was first established, people first built the city on the ground, and then arranged a huge rune circle underground, installed the core of Iola to provide power, and The whole city was uprooted and slowly suspended into the sky.

This method of building a floating city will eventually leave a huge pothole on the ground.

The two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they happen to represent two factions of spellcasting ideas, so they are called the Nether city building method and the Modu city building method respectively.

The floating city that the Duke of Silver Star intends to build chose the modus method.

Ren was thinking while observing the floating city.

As the ship got closer and closer to the city, the floating city became more obvious to the eyes. The eye of the soul has the function of measuring distance, and it has been accurately observed that its maximum diameter is close to four kilometers. A rough calculation shows that the urban area is about ten square kilometers.

In this city in the sky, there are tall towers standing tall.

In the most central position, a purple minaret pierces the sky. The tower is thin and over 500 meters high. The tip of the tower is like a small sun, radiating dazzling light all the time.

This light is the purest magical energy, forming a faintly huge force field, like a huge bubble, protecting the entire floating city, like a dream.

Ryan was amazed.

It is said that this layer of protective force field is a ten-ring protective spell. Once it is fully activated, unless the gods come down in person, there is no power in the world that can break it.

He counted, and there were as many as thirteen towers besides the most central minaret.

This represents at least thirteen legendary wizards!

On the outskirts of the floating city, there is another small floating city with a smaller area, less than one-tenth of Wezeland. There is also a wizard tower on it, which is like a satellite, slowly orbiting around Wezeland. .

"It's spectacular!"

Ren secretly sighed in his heart.

This kind of supernatural power is unimaginable in the previous life on the earth.

When the ship sailed to the mouth of the Nachumer River, the urban landscape of Modu was fully displayed before his eyes, but Ren didn't have the heart to appreciate it.

He looked up, and Wedzeland was nearly five kilometers above the ground, like a huge shadow hanging over his head, covering the sky and the sun, giving people great pressure.

The steamer turned into the Hierro near the mouth of the river.

The boats on the river were busy, and they went upstream along the river, with the urban areas of Modu on both sides. After sailing for a few kilometers, they finally arrived at a passenger terminal.

The ship berthed into the berth, Ren looked up at the floating city and glanced around.

The wharf is located on the west bank of the Yero River. Looking west, there are continuous buildings. This is the old city of Modu, and it is also the most densely populated area. More than 70% of the citizens live in this land of tens of square kilometers. , The flat-speed wide street is full of traffic, stretching as far as the eye can see.

On the other side of the river is the territory of the Earl of Glamorgan.

"Let's get off the boat."

With Ren's order, the rear hatch of the ship opened, and under the ties of Badmont, twenty silver-clad knights rode on silver-scaled horses, ready to go.

The wizards of the five secret fire guards also summoned their own magic leopard mounts.

Ryan himself sat in the back of a car.

Beside him, Oxilia, blessed with the three-ring invisibility technique, sat in a dignified posture, keeping a certain distance from him.

The car disembarked from the ship and drove onto the road to the pier.

The silver knights were divided into two teams, one team opened the way in front, and the other team protected the surroundings of the car, advancing at the same speed as the car.

The two knights at the front held high the flag representing the Earl of Glamorgan.

The bright red long flag is embroidered with the golden symbol of the cross of the warhammer and the crescent moon, fluttering in the wind, attracting people's attention.

The horse's hooves stepped on the ground, making a series of neat and heavy rumbles.

Such a battle immediately attracted the attention of people on the pier, the workers stopped working, and the guests on other ships also stopped to watch, with surprise in their eyes.

"Which nobleman is this?"

"I don't know." Someone shook his head and replied, "The family crest looks very strange, and I haven't seen it before."

"Silver Knight!"

A well-informed transcendent exclaimed: "They are silver knights, from the Duke of Longshande, the army of the Duke of Silver Star."

"What is the silver knight doing in Modu?" Someone asked strangely.

"Of course it's to protect the Earl of Glamorgan. Tsk tsk, this earl is so courageous that he actually dared to come to Modu. Could it be that he thinks he's lived too long?" the well-informed onlookers gloated.

"When is the Earl of Glamorgan again?"

"You don't know that, just a while ago..."

Ren, who was sitting in the car, heard people's conversations through the voice of all things, and was a little surprised that even the common people knew the inside story.

The silver knight surrounded the car and moved forward on the road.

The carriages and cars encountered along the way all avoided one after another. The passengers in the car cast complicated glances at Ren's car. Some were surprised, some were curious, and some showed disgust on their faces.

After the car and the silver knight passed by the pedestrians on the side of the road, some cursed in a low voice, and some even spat in the direction of the car.

"The citizens of Modu don't seem to welcome me very much."

Ren said with a smile.

Oxilia, who was invisible, was silent for a few seconds, and replied lightly: "The Mordu people are the most xenophobic in the empire. This is just the beginning, and you will see it later."

Ren nodded and did not respond.

A map of Modu spread out in his field of vision. According to the plan, the first thing to do after arriving in Modu was to enter Wezeland Floating City.

Floating city is one of the safest places.

There are two ways to go to the floating city. One is the teleportation arrays scattered throughout the ground city. It arrives in an instant and requires a considerable amount of teleportation fee.

The other is to take an airship, which is relatively slow but cheap, and is generally used to transport large quantities of goods and large items, such as riding cars and so on.

There are two airship take-off and landing fields in Modu City. The one closest to the pier is in the busiest location in the west of the city, and the other is in the Earl of Glamorgan, near the sea, more than twenty miles away.

Rennes' destination is the airship takeoff and landing field in the west of the city.

However, not far from the pier, the car was still driving on the street, and the will to truth lighted up slightly in his mind, as if sensing danger.

Ren's complexion changed, and he said quickly: "Protect the arrows!"

He didn't know this spell, but he knew that Ausiliya beside him could, she reacted very quickly without any hesitation, and instantly fired the "protective arrow".

A bright light fell on Ren's body and became invisible.

Immediately, the windshield of the car burst, and it seemed to be shot through by something at high speed, and then hit Ren in the back row, and the protective arrow took effect, blocking it a little.

This is a soul gun bullet, the size of a thumb, and the metal bullet is covered with runes.

The protective arrow is only a second-level spell. It can block all arrows or bullets approaching at high speed, but it has an upper limit of defense, and it can be broken almost in the blink of an eye.

The bullets were so powerful that a layer of lightning armor emerged from Ren's body.

With a bang, the Electric Thorn Armor was also penetrated, and finally hit Rennes precisely between the eyebrows.

Snapped!

Ren's head was thrown back, and sparks splashed out.

He stretched out his hand and pulled out the bullet inlaid on his forehead. The wound made by the bullet was not deep, only a few millimeters. Before the blood flowed out, the wound began to heal itself.

Even so, Ryan was taken aback. This was the second time he had been headshot.

"Advanced gunner!"

He immediately locked the enemy's position, opened the car door and rushed out, while running at high speed, his whole body passed by the wizard of the secret fire guard like a shadow, and rushed into a shop on the side of the street, avoiding the gunman's shooting vision.

In the process, the gunman fired another shot, which missed.

The bullet made a crater in the ground.

"Enemy attack!"

It wasn't until this moment that the silver knight reacted. Mombad yelled loudly to hold the silver scale horse, raised his large shield, turned around and saw that Ren was no longer in the car, and immediately asked the knights to take cover.

The five wizards of the secret fire guard opened their shields one after another, looking around, trying to find the location of the shooter.

With a flash, Pansil also entered the shop where Ren was hiding.

However, she did not find Ryan in the store, only a few panicked customers looked at her inexplicably.

"Where did he go?"
