Chapter 1942: Mythallar Completed, Changes in Ailan

And when Xia Duo arrived at the Blue Crystal Plane, he suddenly realized that obtaining this avatar was actually not easy, and it would be best to use it until the avatar dissipated before creating a new one.

However, this avatar did not need to eat, drink, or rest, and it lasted for a very long time; if he wanted to make full use of it, it would be inevitable to neglect Niya.

But if he just built a Floating City Mythallar and gave up, wouldn't the two hours of inner struggle he had just spent purifying his consciousness seem a bit cheap?

"Family and career?"

Xia Duo tried his best to keep his current self from thinking about those questions; the most important thing right now was to complete the Mythallar, and after that, he would wait for Iolum's war spell.

Of course, with these, the Floating City was still not complete; although the Mythallar could provide protection, it also required a specialized protection system.

Furthermore, the infrastructure, equipment, and instruments inside the Floating City were still a blank slate; wanting to finish everything would require a massive expenditure of manpower and material resources.

Xia Duo planned to hand over the internal construction of the Floating City to the Tower of Time mages, treating it as a practical class; a flying classroom was much more exciting than a ground-based one!

……

The next morning.

The long-planned Floating City Mythallar was finally completed; with Xia Duo working overtime, he completed it alone, along with the testing.

It perfectly met expectations, and because the environment of the Floating City itself had been artificially designed and optimized, the final effect of the Mythallar was even better than expected.

The only regret was that the current Floating City only had one Mythallar device (the other was sent to Iolum to test the war spell), so not only could the Mythallar state not be fully activated, but its weaknesses were also highlighted.

Although the Mythallar Node itself had higher defensive strength than other areas, only when the Mythallar device was filled, forming a distributed pattern to spread the risk, would Xia Duo not worry about what to do if this sole Mythallar exploded one day.

Standing in the central Energy Center of the Floating City, looking at the Mythallar main body in front of him that was as dazzling as the sun, Xia Duo couldn't help but grin:

"Finally waited for this day!"

With the Adaptive Mythallar, the Floating City's Flight Control System could be fully activated; the core function of the Adaptive Mythallar was to convert unsuitable external Magic Net environments into the preset Magic Net environment (Main Plane).

In this situation, let alone the Flight Control System, even a low-rank mage who had never been to the Blue Crystal Plane before could cast spells normally in this Other Plane without needing to consider any Other Plane Magic Net variables.

Only by possessing an Adaptive Mythallar could the Floating City truly possess the capability for cross-plane warfare.

Of course, an Arcanist could also use the Micro Magic Net expanded by their own Arcane Fire to replace the external Magic Net, and even allow other spellcasters to use it.

But a personal Micro Magic Net was, after all, not the background Magic Net with infinite external energy; if there were truly a need for combat, the Arcanist themselves might not even have enough!

Even if there were Arcane Crystals produced continuously by the Mythallar device to subsidize it, that could not compare to the Adaptive Mythallar, which naturally possessed the attribute of infinite energy. (It did not truly possess infinite energy, but was analogous to the external Magic Net; it would not be depleted by the spellcaster's use, as it was essentially the external Magic Net.)

If one further considered that an Arcanist expanding a Micro Magic Net easily became a living target for enemy attacks, then the importance of the Adaptive Mythallar had to be raised by several levels.

Of course, if considered solely from the perspective of the Arcanist system, the potential of the Arcane Energy Field generated by the Mythallar was also very strong, and it might not be impossible to develop it into another form of perfect spellcasting domain.

In short, as long as one dared to think and act, intelligent beings could always find a way out for themselves.

……

Returning to the Main Plane, Xia Duo invited Niya to visit the Floating City Mythallar in the nameless waters of the Blue Crystal Plane, but he did not expect Niya to roll her eyes at him again:

"What are you preparing to make me do again?"

"Hehe!"

Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a bit awkward; Niya had participated in the Floating City Flight Control System before, and his invitation for Niya to visit the Mythallar this time was, of course, not that pure—he had already completed the protection system while in the Projection Plane.

Now it was just a matter of actual construction; if it were left to him alone, how time-consuming would that be? In fact, it wasn't just Niya; he was also prepared to call on the old pushover Aiboke.

If it weren't for the fact that the other Advanced Rank mages of the Tower of Time all had their own tasks, he would have been prepared to call even more people!

In reality, Aiboke also had many tasks, but as an elder, as long as Niya or even Xia Duo spoke up, Aiboke would not refuse.

At most, he would complain a few times afterward, but he would still agree the next time; after all these years, Xia Duo had long since figured out the other's temper.

……

Just as Xia Duo and the others were busy with the construction of the Floating City at the Tower of Time, far away in Siluwende, the undercurrents originally hidden beneath a calm surface seemed about to set off monstrous waves.

Ailan, a small border city in Siluwende.

This small city was originally not a border city; before the Seven Fortresses War, it belonged to the Inner Land of Siluwende, but with the defeat of Siluwende, the border line kept moving backward, making the original Inner Land small city into a small border city.

But for over a thousand years, perhaps due to the strong control of Yierlan, or perhaps due to the self-castration of the Siluwende ruling faction, the current border city not only lacked any atmosphere of war readiness but was instead filled with various so-called artistic atmospheres of decadence.

According to informed sources, this city of Ailan actually had a tendency to break away from Siluwende and join Yierlan as early as three hundred years ago, but Yierlan did not want to overly stimulate the protective will of the Siluwende Elf, so they had been dragging it out and not taking it.

But today, the situation seemed somewhat different.

Quite a few "Adventurers" who were clearly wearing armor, carrying swords, and bearing a strong Army style entered the city; perhaps only those true artists who had devoted their whole hearts to the creative field would not notice such an obvious atmosphere of war.

But the local residents who had lived here for a long time had long since sensed that something was wrong, calling their children playing outside back home before dark and locking their doors tightly, as if this could keep them away from the war.

And in the suburbs, there were many manors, where many artists who had come for exchanges lived.

Inside one inconspicuous small manor near the edge of the city, a Gold Elf Mage with extraordinary bearing arrived low-key, surrounded by several teams of mages and sword-singing guards, occupying half of the courtyard.

A moment later, a Gold Elf Warrior with a high-spirited posture, a serious expression, and fully armed arrived in the courtyard; this person also brought a team of subordinates, whose attire and demeanor were similar to their commander, and one look was enough to leave a deep impression.

"Wendisha, you are late!" The Gold Elf Mage's eyelids twitched, and he said coldly.

"Apologies, Elder Leijia, the Third Army just entered the city; in order to avoid them, I had to take a detour."

The Gold Elf Warrior named Wendisha did not change his expression and explained calmly; listening to his tone, it seemed he was very much at odds with the suspected Yierlan Army entering the city outside in batches.

Elder Leijia seemed very dissatisfied with the Gold Elf Warrior's attitude, snorted coldly again, and asked: "Speak, what is the matter for which you seek me?"

"It is not I who seek you, but a senior who wishes to see you; I am merely passing on the message on their behalf!"
