Outer Islands, Mordor City.
A medium-sized merchant ship docked near the port, and then groups of sailors went ashore from the deck and swarmed towards the tavern in the port area. These men who had been drifting at sea all year round would inevitably seek pleasure as long as they reached the shore. Many people spent their life savings on taverns and prostitutes. After these sailors got off the ship, a group of people in cloaks came down about a few minutes later. The people in charge of secret surveillance in the port area of Mordor City observed for a while and quickly passed on the news.
There were many Rogues in Mordor City.
However, there were very few theft cases in Mordor City, which was a very strange thing.
Occasionally, there were foreign thieves. After committing crimes in Port Mordor, they would soon be found by some 'mysterious people', and then they would be taught a lesson. Some of them would disappear, and the others would become the secret sentries of Mordor City.
"It looks like a wizard."
"Report to the higher-ups, so that we won't blame our poor supervision!"
Port Mordor was a free port, which meant that anyone could come. There were basically no restrictions, and they would not check the origin of one by one. In this case, it was inevitable that there would be a mix of good and bad people, so Mordor City needed a strong enough grey power to ensure the security here. However, this freedom was limited to Port Mordor. If one left Port Mordor and went to the interior of the city, there would be more restrictions. This was to prevent others from infiltrating Mordor City and bringing some trouble to Søren.
It was not surprising for wizards to visit.
The Northern Witch Council had recently set up a branch in Mordor City, which was managed by a member of the council who was close to legendary level. The Outer Islands had the specialty of the Outer Islands. Many spellcasting materials and mutant plants from sea creatures could always attract some wizards. During this time, the residents of Port Mordor had seen a lot of wizards. They were already used to it, but they still had to maintain the appropriate awe. Even the most ferocious of sailors would not recklessly provoke a mysterious adept.
"Teacher."
"Is this Mordor City? It's as prosperous as the legends say! "
A group of people quickly walked down the deck. One of the young men looked around in surprise and whispered, "Although it's far from the Wizard City, it's quite rare for a new city to develop to such a scale."
People were coming and going at the port, and all kinds of goods were piled up in the warehouse.
The merchants gathered near the Chamber of Commerce to bargain. Beside them, there was a Priest trainee of the Lady of Wealth who was responsible for witnessing the transaction. Unless the transaction involved a relatively large amount of money, the Priest of the Lady of Wealth would generally not be disturbed.
Mordor City had to have a trade of more than 10,000 Kindler before they would ask a priest to come out as a witness.
The Sea Temple was also very lively.
In front of the shrine was a huge pool filled with various Copper Derahls and Silver Derahls. Occasionally, one could see a Kindler.
These were thrown in by the believers who came to pray and fulfill their vows.
Under the sunlight, the whole pool shone with a golden light, but even the boldest Thief did not dare to steal a single Copper Derahl from it.
This was an offering to the shrine and the gods.
"Say no more."
"We are here to check the situation of Mordor City. I heard that Golems have been used on a large scale here. The Wizard Alliance suspects that Mordor City has mastered some technology from the Arcane Empire."
"Our mission is to make sure of this."
"If they really have such knowledge in their hands, maybe the Wizard Alliance will consider some cooperation with Mordor City."
The Wizard Alliance was high and mighty.
They were more powerful than the Northern Witch Council and had inherited the core alchemy knowledge of [Arcane Puppet] and [Arcane Guard]. This was an organization similar to the City of Knowledge. It rarely got involved in the affairs of the Church of Gods and did not care about the rise and fall of many kingdoms. What they were most interested in was studying the things of the Arcane Empire and then doing everything they could to explore the boundless sea of the Astral World.
Astral World Exploration.
For thousands of years, most of the legendary Wizards of the Wizard Alliance had put their energy into this.
The wealth of the Wizard Alliance was amazing!
But there was no way to estimate how much it was. Being as rich as a country was not enough to describe it because they still had the most cutting-edge alchemy technology in the material plane. The Wizard City was the only place in the entire material plane that sold legendary equipment on a regular basis, although the value may be as high as millions of Kindler. In the past few hundred years, one of the most amazing moves of the Wizard Alliance was that they found an asteroid in the sea of the Astral World that was completely diamond-petrified inside. It was about three kilometers in diameter. The top leaders of the Wizard Alliance worked together to intercept the meteor with some magical means and then sent it back to the material plane.
The value of this meteor was immeasurable. It was said that the diamonds inside had not been used up until now.
The Arcane Puppet was an advanced version of the Diamond Golem, which required a lot of diamonds and high-purity crystals. The current research direction of the Wizard Alliance was similar to that of Mordor City.
Synthetic diamonds.
Refining high-purity crystals.
Because this progress was relatively slow, they could only transfer many means of obtaining resources to the Astral World.
The Wizard was always the most expensive profession!
A group of people moved along the port of Mordor. They naturally had other means to avoid interrogations, and their fake identities were enough to fool the ordinary guards. Soon they set foot on the road to Mordor City.
A ten-meter-wide paved road.
The roads of Mordor City were accessible in all directions, and it took a lot of manpower to pave them. Cement roads had been successfully researched, but there was no way to solve the production capacity problem.
After all, there was still a difference between an alchemy civilization and a technological civilization. The production problem had been exposed when studying fertilizers.
"I didn't expect the roads here to be so well built."
Another middle-aged man sighed and said slowly, "I didn't expect this city built by pirates to be so good in urban planning."
The birth of Mordor City was not good.
In the eyes of many old forces, Mordor City was always labeled as a "city built by pirates".
So even if Mordor City was rich, many old nobles and forces thought that Mordor City was a chaotic place. The city construction and planning must be messy, and it was only because of the wealth of overseas trade that it grew.
Everything was just a castle in the air. If such a city lost its source of wealth, it would eventually fall.
But everything they saw today completely subverted their past understanding.
These people from the Wizard City realized for the first time that there was a city full of civilization in addition to the Wizard City in the entire material plane.
Civilization.
That's right!
In the view of the Wizard City, many cities in the material plane were primitive, dirty, and ignorant.
Giddy up!
A few carriages carrying goods arrived, and the coachmen moved forward. A bearded merchant sat by the side, and when he passed by these people, he happened to open his mouth and say, "Eh?"
"What about the mountain in the north?"
"When I went up to the eastern route, wasn't the mountain still there? How come the mountain is gone now? "
Hearing the middle-aged businessman's words.
The coachman slowed down a little, pointed to the flat land in the north, and said in awe, "That mountain was still there a few months ago!"
"But I heard that the mountain blocked the plan of the City Hall."
"Then they sent people down and said they wanted to flatten it. At that time, the foremen were stumped. How could a mountain be flattened? "
"There was no way."
"They could only try to blow it up with gunpowder, but the speed was too slow."
"Later, it seemed that the City Hall thought they were doing too slow, so they found a way to invite the mysterious Wizard. I heard that the Wizard used a spell called 'Stone to Mud' to flatten the mountain. "
"It's only been a week or so."
"The whole mountain has been flattened, and now it's said that a workshop is going to be built there."
"It's not just this mountaintop."
"More than a dozen mountains near Mordor City have almost been flattened now. You probably haven't been back for too long. Recently, the City Hall has mobilized a lot of Golems. "
"That thing is the real deal!"
"They can easily move things that weigh thousands of pounds. Their strength is so great that it's scary!"
"I heard that this thing is more powerful than the guards."
The coachman was talking, and the businessman next to him was also surprised. It took nearly half a year to go back and forth on the eastern route. Returning to Mordor City after half a year, everything he saw gave him amazing changes.
The convoy quickly passed this group of people.
However, after these businessmen left, a group of people from the Wizard Alliance looked dignified. The leader pondered for a moment and murmured, "Mordor City has such an ability?!"
"It seems that we still underestimated them too much."
Moving mountains and filling seas.
With the level of the material plane civilization back then, it was no laughing matter to achieve this easily.
At this moment.
One of the rather handsome men suddenly said, "Teacher. When I first came to Mordor City, I noticed it, but I was not sure. "
"But after listening to them, I'm a little sure of my discovery!"
This man's status seemed to be not low. Hearing him speak, everyone listened carefully. The man looked around and said slowly, "Have you noticed that the energy fluctuations here are a bit special?"
"It seems to be maintained on a strange frequency! And the flattened mountain they pointed to in front is actually a land vein node nearby! "
Hearing his words, the leader frowned and pondered. After a long time, he said with a dignified expression, "You mean?"
"Mordor City is setting up a big magic circle?"
The handsome man smiled and shook his head.
The others were puzzled when they heard this; they didn't seem to understand.
"No!"
At this time, the man said in a serious voice, "The whole Mordor Island is a big magic circle!!!"
As soon as he said that.
Everyone at the scene was horrified!
The elder in the lead slowly spat out two words, "Maze … Lock! … "
