Chapter 553: Chapter 390: Gladies Level Magic Intelligent Life
Floating City, Floating Island,
Lis’s spiritual power spread out, extending to the surroundings of his body.
He wasn’t entirely sure if the mark on the map was in the dilapidated attic in front of him.
This area was just on the periphery of the islands, lacking the strict magical protections found in the inner parts of the city.
Thus, it was easy for Lis’s spiritual power to permeate every brick and stone nearby.
“Hmm?”
...
Lis’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he looked down at his feet.
Why did it feel like the patch of ground he stood on had a higher concentration of magic power than the surroundings?
Could it be that the mark on the map was below ground?
After pondering for a moment, Lis thought it was indeed possible.
Could this special mark on the map be located beneath the ground?
Curiosity piqued, Lis didn’t delay further; he summoned a mud puppet, the height of a man, to move the crumbling bricks in front of him and began to explore downward.
The main body of the Floating City was built on the upside-down surface of a colossal mountain peak, a symbol of the once-mighty power of the Magic Empire.
Legend tells of a Legendary Mage from the Neserel Magic Empire who used powerful Legendary Magic to sever a mountain peak. With the combined effects of the Yutern Floating Technique and the Kronomanser Gravity Reversal Technique, the mountaintop was inverted. Miserla’s Core was placed at the center of the flat plane, and from there, the main body of the Floating City was constructed on this broad, flat circular area.
The first Floating City was known as Iolum’s Flying City and served as a template for all subsequent Floating Cities.
The ground of the Floating City was specially reinforced with magic, making it extremely difficult to destroy with the power of magic.
However, in the area where Lis was, it felt as if the island’s magic protections deliberately left a gap, and large chunks of rock were lifted by the mud puppet he had summoned.
After digging down three or four meters, the mud puppet Lis had summoned suddenly stopped.
In front of the puppet, after destroying and upturning countless grey rocks, a pale white light screen appeared amidst the stones.
This light screen appeared to be some kind of special protective barrier. The puppet pounded its fist down on the screen, but it merely trembled to dissipate the force without a hint of breaking.
So, it was underneath after all?
Lis commanded the mud puppet to step back a few paces to clear a space and then stepped forward to touch the pale white light screen in front of him.
He pressed lightly, and the light screen dipped slightly, but only a bit before it stopped moving, despite Lis exerting all his strength.
To think, his strength attribute points were now equivalent to those of a Gold-level Warrior, which spoke volumes about the resilience of the light screen before him.
Even with a weapon, it seemed there would be no way through.
Lis thought for a moment, and a faint blue flame appeared on the tip of his right index finger.
He controlled the flame, pressing it tenderly against the pale white light screen.
The faint blue fire quickly adhered to the tough screen and began to spread swiftly.
The faint blue flame was from Lis’s first arcane, the Blue Ball Skill, a particular flame that, after Lis’s dedicated research and development, was extremely adhesive and spread quickly, especially effective against beings with magic power.
Lis had even developed several new arcanes based on this faint blue flame.
It was effective!
Lis’s spirit shook with excitement as he watched the faint blue flame spread gradually across the light screen, even breaking through a tiny gap.
Through the gap, one could vaguely see the dark room beyond and the flickering Magic Light.
But before Lis could celebrate for long, the entire light screen began emitting a brighter light, and the burning faint blue flame, as if doused with cold water, quickly shrank and finally disappeared.
Lis stroked his chin, finding it quite interesting.
He had already noticed that the light screen was suffused with a very strong magic power, which had forcefully extinguished the faint blue flame.
A mere Array-rendered light screen couldn’t possibly have such abundant magic power; it was very likely that the screen was linked to the entire Floating City’s Magic Pattern Circuit.
If that were the case, the place protected by the light screen must be very important,
It seemed that the bright marks on the map indicated extremely important locations within the Floating City.
This made Lis even more curious!
Without further hesitation, Lis’s right hand blazed with Fiery Fire, the faint blue light illuminating the whole area.
He gently pressed his right hand against the light screen, and under his control, the faint blue flame spread quickly across it.
In a matter of moments, a passage wide enough for Lis appeared before him.
Lis also noticed the light beginning to emanate from the entire screen and, not wishing to delay, dashed through the gap in the light screen.
The light screen healed swiftly behind Lis, settling back to its original calm as if it had never been breached.
…
Beyond the light screen, Lis stood on the solid ground, looking around the somewhat dark area.
The Magic Pattern Circuit on the ground emitted a faint Magic Light, with rich magic power filling the space around Lis.
This sensation gave Lis the feeling of basking and wandering in an ocean of magic power.
Just breathing in felt like a surge of magic power was about to pour into his body.
All of this was a bit overwhelming for Lis, who had not even felt such abundant magic power in Mr. Stephens’s First Magic Workshop.
