Chapter 797

The appearance of the statue is a woman wearing a robe, with a slim and dignified figure, facing the exit of Shield Island Bay, her face is covered with a half-section veil made of rays of light, revealing only a pair of eyes containing supreme wisdom , a strange magical radiance shot out of his eyes, as if he could see the truth of the world.

The entire statue is made of bronze-colored metal, and every part is exquisite and lifelike. Even the folds of the robe on the body are clearly visible, and countless runes engraved can be vaguely seen.

In his left hand, he held a huge tome, like a magic book, with a line of imperial characters engraved on the spine—truth endures forever!

His right hand is raised high, holding a torch in his hand!

The torch is so huge that the flame is surrounded by a ring-shaped platform, enough for dozens of people to stand side by side.

At this moment, the torch is not lit.

There is no doubt that this is the idol of the goddess of magic!

majesty! dignified! shock!

Everyone was stunned. Before today, people had never seen such a huge statue.

He himself is more than 200 meters high, and the base under his feet is also more than 100 meters high. Adding the two together, the overall height of the statue is close to 400 meters, making it the tallest building in Gotham City. No matter where you are in or outside the city, you can see Him just by looking up.

The pedestal under the statue is also extremely magnificent. The building is in the shape of a cuboid, supported by huge columns on all four sides, and there are hundreds of steps on the periphery.

This is the temple of a goddess of magic!

One can imagine how spectacular it would be to stand under the steps of the temple and look up at the statue of the goddess.

The area of ​​the island of truth is less than one square mile, and the temple and statues only occupy a small part of the southern part. Behind the temple, a large continuous new building has been built, including squares, gardens and towers, which look like A school of magic.

"Goddess bless!"

"Goddess bless..."

Voices of prayer sounded from both sides of the bay.

Many believers of the goddess of magic looked at the statue, as if seeing the goddess descending in person, their eyes were full of piety and worship.

On the platform, many holy soul wizards were also amazed. The sisters of the Duke of Silver Star nodded approvingly and watched the statue for a long time without looking away.

Above the sky, the magnificent aura of divine power became more and more intense.

"What a masterpiece!"

Anse Wodos said in admiration, and looked up at the sky, thinking that Renn had really worked hard to please the goddess of magic.

The cost of this statue must be extremely high, at least 20 million gold shields.

That much money could build two wizard towers.

The other holy soul wizards thought the same way. Except for the four sisters of the Duke of Silver Star and the Lord of Blackstaff, who were voters, they were a little bit disapproving. It was really not worth spending so much money just to build a huge statue.

"Ren, you really have a heart." Master Oroin smiled, "He should be the largest statue in the history of Ellenus."

"Yes." Ren nodded, and he checked it specially.

Landmark buildings, of course, the higher the better.

The height and volume are the most shocking, leaving an indelible memory for visitors.

Spectacles are a symbol of civilization and an excellent weapon to enhance the cohesion of people's hearts.

In the world of Elenas, where the extraordinary power belongs to itself, the role of spectacle is far more than that. For the gods, spectacle is the amplifier of the fire of faith!

In fact, my original design height was 1,000 meters, but limited by the strength of the metal material, even with the blessing of the rune magic circle, and then considering the cost and construction period, as well as the difficulty of the construction process, it finally shrank to less than 400 meters rice.

Even so, he achieved the effect he wanted.

Oroin saw through Ren's mind at a glance. This largest statue in history can gather the power of faith for the goddess of magic and make believers more pious.

He shook his head and said, "Ren, you always have fantastic ideas, and the goddess must like them very much."

"hehe……"

Ren smiled and said nothing, the wonderful things are yet to come.

Congerald Daxian observed for a long time, and suddenly said: "Ren, this statue should not be as simple as it looks?"

"The great sage has good eyesight."

Ren sincerely praised that the great sage is indeed the greatest alchemist among mankind, and he has seen more things than others.

He walked to the middle of the rostrum, and mobilized a ray of soul power into his feet.

hum!

The entire platform trembled, and the guests found rune arrays lit up under their feet. Huge energy rose from under the sea water, spread along the platform's pillars, and poured into the interior of the platform.

After a few seconds, the rune circle was fully activated.

The pure mysterious energy condensed on the edge of the platform, forming a bridge about ten meters wide, which seemed to be made of colored crystals, and quickly extended towards the island of truth. At the same time, there is also a platform on the east side of the square before the temple on the island of truth, which also extends out of the crystal bridge.

The two ends are butted against each other and connected together after half a minute.

A rainbow-like crystal bridge has been built, spanning half of the shield island bay. The suspended bridge deck is more than 30 meters above the water surface, which is spectacular from a distance.

People were dumbfounded.

The great sage Congerald praised: "The combination of the force field ladder and the rainbow bridge is amazing!"

The guests on the platform looked at the crystal bridge erected to the island of truth, and they were also full of admiration. However, maintaining such a large-scale spell consumes so much energy that it cannot be supported by the rune circle alone. There must be other sources of energy.

Anse Wodos had already thought of a possibility, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

The four Silver Star Duke sisters looked at each other in surprise.

"Everyone, please go to the island."

Ren made a gesture of invitation on the stage, and then took the lead on the Crystal Bridge.

Everyone followed, six holy soul wizards, consuls, and holy rank powerhouses followed behind Ren, then wizard representatives from various floating cities, imperial councilors, Mordu nobles, etc., and finally Gotham Hundreds of celebrities in the city.

They stepped on the translucent crystal bridge and found that the bridge created by magic was very stable, so many people walked on it without shaking.

The other end of the crystal bridge is also a platform.

However, Ren did not stop here, but walked to the square in front of the temple, stood on the steps north of the square, with his back to the temple, waiting for the guests to arrive.

People can't help but look up and look up at the sky.

Standing at his feet, the nearly 400-meter-high statue feels that most of the sky is covered, like a shadow hanging over the top of the head. The majestic and huge statue makes me feel very small, and I feel more awe of the goddess of magic .

The guests are almost all extraordinary people, and their wills are relatively firm.

They knew very well that if ordinary people with far weaker will than themselves came here, they would probably kneel down on the spot and worship the statue.

Some of the guests were already whispering prayers.

In the future, this place will definitely become the holy place of the Magic Church, and all the believers of the goddess will flock to the island of truth for pilgrimage.

When everyone stood still in the square, Ren raised his hand, and a strong wave of magic spread across the bay in front of the statue. The light and shadow were distorted for a few seconds, forming a huge image with a length and width of 100 meters. Wizards are no strangers to this kind of projection. Dean Sabra used it four years ago in the Wizarding Exchange Competition at Blueworth Academy.

Ren's figure appeared in the image.

Hundreds of thousands of people saw his appearance clearly, and many people were amazed when they saw this kind of projection for the first time.

Ren said calmly: "All holy souls, Your Excellency the Consul, distinguished guests, and gentlemen and ladies of Gotham City..."

His voice spread all around, making everyone quiet and listening to him.

"Today, we gathered here to hold the unveiling ceremony for the statue of the goddess of magic. Looking back, Gotham has been established for three years. Three years ago, Shield Island was still a land of undead, evil everywhere, and no grass grew. Three years later, a A metropolis with a new look has already stood on this land."

"Today, Gotham City has 380,000 permanent residents and 130,000 floating population, adding up to more than 500,000 people, and every day there are more people than the previous day. The entire Shield Island has been reclaimed. A large amount of food is produced, enough to feed millions of people. Our factories have also been established one by one, producing at full capacity, and the goods are exported to the Old Continent and the human kingdom."

"Today, Gotham City is already the most dazzling pearl on the east coast of the New World!"

Ren paused for a while, and the crowd on both sides of the bay burst into applause, and the residents of Gotham City even cheered loudly.

They are well aware of how difficult it is for Gotham City to develop to today.

From being poor to a prosperous city, it is inseparable from the hard work of everyone, and participating in it brings people a great sense of accomplishment.

Ren continued to speak.

His voice became high: "But we will not be satisfied with this, Gotham City is just our starting point. To the west is the Abraken Peninsula, which was the most glorious magic capital of elves thousands of years ago, and we will restore its glory."

"Further to the west is the mainland of the New World. This is a vast land waiting for us to explore."

"That's not No Man's Land."

"You all know that the New World has been occupied by evil for thousands of years. The Scourge, demons, Netivus, and evil orcs are threatening our homeland, our lives, and our civilization all the time. They also occupy the original wisdom. land of race."

"Human beings are the overlords of the new era. We have the responsibility and obligation to take back the New World together with the old masters of this land—the elves and dwarves!"

"Take back the New World, and we will be rewarded handsomely."

"Wealth, power, territory, everything you can think of, there are countless opportunities waiting for us in the New World."

"And Gotham City will be everyone's most solid backing!"

As Ryan's words fell, hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the bay were incited, each of them was emotional and shouted loudly.

When the cheers subsided, Ren said again: "Gotham City can't exist today without everyone's efforts, but more importantly, we have the protection of the goddess."

"Without the light of the Goddess's wisdom shining, we could not have come this far."

"Therefore, this idol is our gift to the goddess, and we pray for his blessing to continue to protect his followers and allow us to go further."

"The goddess protects, and the truth lasts forever!"

Ren yelled loudly.

Everyone prayed loudly, "Goddess protects, the truth will last forever!"

Ren's soul eyes saw the flames of faith of hundreds of thousands of believers blazing fiercely. One after another illusory lines protruded from the top of people's heads, sinking into the void, leading to a great being in the depths of the distant void, establishing a wonderful connection .

He sensed a line of sight falling from the distant void.

"it's time."

Ren's mind moved slightly, and the rune array in the statue was activated in the air.

Boom!

A muffled sound came from the ground, and the whole island of truth trembled. People looked up in amazement and saw countless runes shining on the huge statue.

The vast energy came up from the depths of the ground, activated the rune array, gathered in the right arm of the statue like a tide, and finally poured into the high-raised torch. After a few seconds of stagnation, the center of the torch became brighter and brighter, and soon became as dazzling as a round of the sun.

With a bang, the light burst.

Finally, the energy accumulation exceeded the critical point, and the torch was lit.

A huge flame with a diameter of several meters is burning fiercely. Its color is indescribable. At first glance, it is silver, but soon turns to other colors, changing every moment. It seems to contain all the colors in the world, representing all magical energy .

In the center of the flame, a thick beam of light shot straight into the sky, piercing the sky.

As the torch is lit, it emits a strange magical radiance.

This kind of light is not as hot as the sun, nor is it dazzling, but it can shine as far as three hundred miles away, and anyone within this range can clearly see the light source.

Hundreds of thousands of people were bathed in the brilliance and felt tranquility in their hearts.

Some people with wounds found that their pain had weakened, and the curse of soul blood, which was about to move because of the pain, also fell silent under the radiance of magic.

This is just how ordinary people feel.

On the square in front of the temple, many holy rank powerhouses looked at each other in awe, especially the holy soul wizards and spellcasters, they saw more inside stories.

Core of Iola!

Ten ring spells!

The great sage Congerald looked up at the torch held high by the idol with a serious face, and exclaimed: "The magical torch light of Wei Jiescui is really a great skill!"

There are not many people who know this ten-ring spell, even legendary wizards may not have heard of it.

The Duke of Silver Star exclaimed in disbelief: "Ren, you are really willing!"

Everyone in the square looked at Ren one after another, but most of them didn't understand. The rune array, crystal bridge, and torch light of the idol all come from the core of Iola. Obviously, the idol cannot fly like the floating city.

This means that Ren's Iola Core can only be fixed on the island of truth.

If the Core of Iola is not used to build the floating city, it is a reckless waste. Even if the ten-ring spell can protect the entire Gotham City, the value of the Core of Iola will be lost by more than half. Although doing so can please the goddess of magic, it is still not worth the loss.

The holy soul wizards couldn't help shaking their heads secretly, what a pity!

Only Anse Wodos looked at Ren with a calm face, guessed what Ren's intention was, and sighed in his heart, pretending not to know anything.
