Mage Adam

23. What I saw in Karachi Port

It is indeed a powerful scene.

Adam's eyes can't fully see the whole picture of this port city, but just the pier is amazing enough.

The application of magic technology has completely surpassed the earth, ether, magic power, and the existence of "mysterious side" energy, which makes it very simple for a technology to change from theory to reality.

All the 'machinery' working on the pier have completely deviated from the category of traditional power that Adam understands, which means that Adam has no way to understand their principles with his current knowledge.

The mechanical arm suspended in the air accurately grasped the hull of the ship, and firmly fixed the ship on the "slot" of the dock. A passage made of unknown substances appeared at the feet of everyone. All sent to the pier.

Next came the silver torrent. The naked eye could not tell whether they were individuals or groups. After Adam dispersed his mental power, he vaguely observed that it was the alchemy product of countless "nano-robots". They instantly enveloped the Moldo Academy. , and then disappeared at the same speed, Adam found that the stains and wear and tear of the ship after a long time of sailing had been completely repaired, and the whole ship looked brand new.

Then the ship 'merged' into the dock in an unknown way and disappeared.

In other places in the port, the same thing happened all the time. The apprentices even saw even bigger and more magical ships appearing, not only on the sea, but also flying objects docked in the sky from time to time.

There is no need for a runway, no noise or turbulence, and the aircraft takes off and lands smoothly.

The mages ignored the astonishment of the apprentices. They were used to such scenes. This was the first step for all the 'natives' from overseas islands to understand the advancement of the mage world.

"Is this the mage's world? Such a world, it's just...just..." William muttered to himself. On the island where he was born, the southern harbor city was already the most developed city, but it was still unable to break away from the shackles of primitive productivity. He couldn't imagine that on the other side of the sea, the human beings here actually lived like this.

"It's unbelievable. No wonder I have never seen any mage before, not even a mage apprentice. If I had seen this, I would not be able to return to my past life." Ophelia sighed to herself She, who lived in the Northland since she was a child, has even less knowledge than William, so the impact she received was even greater.

Adam felt infinitely gratified, coming to such a world, contacting such an advanced civilization, having the opportunity to explore the unknown, and not having to spend the rest of his life in solitude, it is simply great.

After waiting quietly at the port for a while, a 'car' drove over. It was not in the form of the car that Adam was familiar with. It had no hubs and no exhaust pipes. This car came in a low-altitude suspension and stopped firmly in front of the mages.

The car door opened, and a driver in a very colorful uniform saluted the mages respectfully: "Dear mage, welcome back to the mage continent. The permission to use the teleportation array has been applied for and will be activated on time in two hours."

Master Black nodded to him, and said to the apprentices: "Unfortunately, there is no time left for you to visit the port of Karachi this time. The apprentices who are at the same time as you have already arrived at the academy. We need to hurry up."

Of course the apprentices dared not have any doubts, and said in unison: "Your will, respected Master Black."

Everyone rushed in, and the space inside the car was much larger than what they saw from the outside. Adam couldn't help but marvel, can the knowledge of space be extended to civilian use?

But in such a developed world, there will be such a barbaric way of fighting as the Academy War? Adam put this question in his heart, and he will soon set foot on the road, so he will soon understand the basic information about the mage world.

In the car, Crystal, who was very curious, asked the driver: "Sir,

Excuse me, the one we took..." She only had two concepts of transportation in her mind: animal-drawn carts and boats, and she didn't know what to call them.

The driver was easy to speak, and explained softly after hearing the words: "The general-purpose suspension vehicle in the world, its name. It comes from the creation of a great mage."

"It's amazing!" Crystal simply expressed amazement, she really couldn't think of other words.

The driver didn't say anything more. Facing these apprentices from the 'desert island', he felt a slight sense of superiority in his heart, probably something like 'Although I don't have the qualifications of a mage, I can still enjoy the fruits of a mage'.

The general-purpose suspension car in the world looks closed from the outside, but people sitting in the car can clearly see the outside scene.

Adam carefully observed what he saw on the road. The building is a high-rise structure, and each building towers into the sky as a whole, with brilliance flowing on it, but the distribution is not dense. There are large open areas in between, facilities similar to driveways Distributed in an orderly manner, countless suspended vehicles are driving on the middle and lower floors, and the higher floors are empty. Adam guessed that it should be a passage for the extraordinary to escape.

There are not many pedestrians on the ground, but their way of walking is very unusual-after all, living in such an incredible and huge city, if you rely on ordinary walking methods, it may take a long time to reach your destination, so most of them They are all using the way of bursting blood to advance, and occasionally some people use abilities that they don't understand. These are probably apprentices of mages.

Sure enough, ordinary people in the Mage Continent all have the power of a knight.

Adam saw at least three fights along the way. There were knights fighting each other, and even magic duels, but no one came to stop them, and law enforcement officers never showed up. Everyone was used to fighting.

Adam pointed to the scene of the battle just passing by, and asked the driver strangely: "Is there no one to stop it?"

The driver said flatly: "It's a very common thing. At least a dozen people die in duels in the Port of Karachi every day. As long as you apply in advance and promise to compensate the public facilities damaged in the duel, the Mage Council allows you to resolve conflicts in this way."

If Adam realizes something, the "Mage Council" is probably the governing body of the mage plane. In this world where individual power is obviously extraordinary, it is obviously not easy to enforce the laws on the earth that are aimed at ordinary people, and mages don't seem to be able to do so. Willing to spend time maintaining balance and upholding justice, is it normal that there will be a way similar to the "judicial duel" invented by the ancient Germans on Earth?

what is this? Barbarism in civilization? Or is it a civilization maintained by barbarism?

The driver asked strangely: "Is it true that duels are not allowed on deserted islands? Then how do you resolve conflicts?"

Quentin sneered: "Duel, only nobles can initiate a duel..." He stopped at this point, Adam is a commoner, but Randy and Crystal are the same, so it's okay to continue talking All right.

But this is enough for the driver to understand that he didn't say anything about his status as a commoner, but said: "There are no nobles in the mage continent, only mortals and mages. The only restriction on duels is that mages cannot initiate a duel against mortals." He paused and continued. : "Offending a mage is a capital offense. Of course, it is not as stupid as a mortal."

There was nothing to say along the way, and we quickly reached our destination.

The teleportation array is in a strange building with a very scientific and mysterious side. Adam can't describe its appearance in words, because it seems to be changing all the time.

"Visual deception caused by space-time interference?" Adam can only analyze in this way. What he has seen and heard after coming here is beyond his inherent knowledge, and the incomplete knowledge brought from the earth seems to have little use.

The levitation car left, and Adam and others walked into the building under the leadership of the mages. It looked very lively here, and there were many people coming in and out at all times. Their unique energy fields intertwined with each other, making all the apprentices feel extremely excited. discomfort.

It is a kind of powerlessness in the face of higher-level life.

When a mage is alone, most of them can perfectly restrain their own field. This is a means to avoid useless energy consumption, and it may not be a protection for mortals. But when there are multiple mages in a space or low-level mages face higher-level mages, they The field will spread spontaneously, which is probably similar to a unique identity and class proof.

The four mages of Moldo College also seemed a little humble after entering the building, stopping from time to time and bowing their heads to the high-level mages passing by. The apprentices were even more cautious, lest any behavior would offend the mage and lead to disaster .

They walked all the way in, and Master Black said in a low voice: "All the teleportation arrays belong to the second element holy tower, and are the property of the great Master Randolph, the real spirit master. You must maintain enough humility. Later we will I will see Master Santa, remember, don’t talk.”

This was the first solemn request of Master Black. No one dared to express doubts. The consequences of disrespect must be death, and no one wanted to die.

After walking around a corner and passing through a light curtain, everyone finally saw the teleportation array—it was a regular figure completely composed of runes, each rune contained strong magic power, and seemed to float in front of their eyes, but But it seemed illusory and untouchable. The ether from the void was poured into the runes continuously. Faced with this magic circle, everyone's souls were trembling. Adam was very sure that the eruption of any one of them would be enough to destroy the apprentices present hundreds of times. .

The man who presides over the magic circle is a mage whose face cannot be seen clearly. Like the magic circle, he seems to be standing between reality and illusion: "Mordo Elemental Tower? Isn't it?"

After the four mages bowed, Master Black said respectfully: "Yes, my dear Master Santa." He took out a complete ether crystal from an unknown place and handed it to Master Santa.
