Salin was seen through by Jason. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I have a lot of high-level blank scrolls now. I see that there are quite a few Magic Shooters on the island, so …"
"Leave the scrolls. I'll get them to give you the completed ones. This wasn't a problem. For Salin, creating scrolls was also a learning process for Magic Shooters. The most troublesome thing was the lack of materials. There were many magical beasts on the sea, but materials suitable for creating high-level scrolls were hard to come by. As long as you have blank scrolls of the same level, I'll help you exchange them all. "
Jason's generosity exceeded Salin's expectations. However, he immediately understood that on this island, the purpose of scrolls wasn't to be used for battle, but to practice magic. Countless Magic Shooters had created scrolls for thousands of years. These mages didn't lack money, but materials.
"Forget it, Salin. I'll call Rex up and we'll calculate what you need together." As Jason spoke, he activated the transmission magic seal and summoned Rex to the seventh floor of the magic tower.
Rex regained her usual demeanor. When she saw Jason, she still bowed respectfully, as if Jason had never said anything to her that made her feel awkward.
"Rex, Seriger Island is going to be sealed. Salin plans to leave early."
"What? Then … "
"We'll talk about the demiplane later. The island will be sealed for at least three years. Didn't you say that you want Salin to build a place comparable to Alchemy City in the north to arrange the interplanar teleportation portal? Then I'll give you three years. If the city can be built in three years, we'll talk about the demiplane. "
Rex glanced at Salin, who nodded at her. Rex said helplessly, "Master Jason, I'll wait for your news."
"Alright, then let's talk about what materials are needed to build this city." Jason let Rex and Salin come to his alchemy table. He took out a huge blueprint and laid it out. The magic seal on the alchemy table was activated, and a three-dimensional magic image appeared. It was the prototype of a city. “
Many cities were designed by mages, especially Qin Yin's city. A city designed by a mage had strong defense, a reasonable layout, and a good drainage system.
"This is a city I designed. What do you think?" Jason was obviously proud of himself. Designing a city was not a serious matter for mages. Judging from Jason's expression, it was obvious that he had a preference for this kind of thing.
The blueprint of the city was just the foundation. Salin liked it the moment he saw it. Half of the city in the magic image was in the water, while the other half was on land, forming a perfect balance. On the side facing the water, there was a thick stone pillar every 500 meters. There were a total of 12 stone pillars with metal bridges on them. They were all designed with exquisite magic patterns and looked like a temple on the water.
According to the magic label, these stone pillars had a diameter of 12 meters. They were high up into the clouds and deep into the water. Behind the stone pillars was a platform that was divided into two levels. The upper level was the dock, but the lower level was hollow, a hundred meters into the water. The hollow area under the platform was a magic array that could be used to cast spells underwater to attack intruders on the surface.
This design avoided the awkwardness of having a fortress on the dock that occupied space. Salin thought of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship that Rex had created. On both sides of the dock were tall Magic Towers facing the water. The design of the Magic Towers was very old and looked similar to Rafael's Magic Tower.
The most exciting thing was that this design allowed the Magic Tower to only control the water behind the 12 stone pillars. Outside the stone pillars, only a beautiful porch could be seen. There was no aura of war.
Behind the dock was a palace-style building. Salin saw traces of the palace of Holy Rock City. The spacious doorway could allow mechanical puppets to enter and exit at will. The warehouse was designed to be half underground and half above ground. On both sides of the dock were designed metal slides, on which large vehicles could be placed to transport goods unloaded from the ship.
There were many large sculptures in the palace complex. These sculptures were just puppets. As long as there were enough mages, goods could be transported quickly even without workers.
"Great, what an exquisite design!" Rex looked at it and was very impressed. This city could build a dock first and then use the dock to transport materials, which was much faster than on land. Also, if the location was appropriate, the discarded stone from the dock could also be used to fill the land part. It would be pushed down layer by layer without wasting time and space.
A large number of Magic Towers were built in the city on land. These Magic Towers formed a larger magic array that echoed with each other. The entire city was under the control of dozens of Magic Towers, forming a magic network. This magic network provided power for the entire city. The mages in this city could exert power that was several times or even dozens of times stronger than the mages themselves, just like in the Magic Towers.
The city wall on the land side was even more bizarre. It was all made of huge stones of different colors. Those stones of different colors were clearly assembled according to Dante's sequence. The gaps between the sequences formed six stone gates. The top of the city wall was even stranger. Those stones piled up to form huge spaces, as if countless stone houses had been built on the city wall.
The entire city on land was formed by various magic sequences and formulas. Other than the Magic Towers, covered bridges, and the main road that could pass through the chariot, the rest of the city only had sparse buildings. There were no residential buildings.
This was an incomparably complicated structure. The entire city was a huge magic formula. Salin was dazzled. His teacher's design had already surpassed the common sense of a city. This was truly a magic city built for mages.
Below the city was not only a drainage system, but also three levels of passageways. The lowest level led to warehouses, which were all connected to the docks. These warehouses and the Magic Towers were connected to each other, and each had a one-to-one storage space. Such a design basically did not consume much energy. It was only to ensure that the items in the warehouses would not rot.
"How, how much money would it cost to build this!" Salin exclaimed when he saw the underground part.
"The materials needed to build the main body of the city cannot be bought with money. However, there are many on Seriger Island," Jason replied with a smile.
"What can I use to exchange for it?" Of course, Rex understood what Jason meant. This blueprint was filled with the ideas of a genius mage. It was priceless in itself. If Jason had to provide the materials, she would not dare to accept it.
"I can take whatever you have."
Rex was finally relieved when she heard this. Jason did not want to make things difficult for her. As long as the items she provided were of sufficient value, she could exchange for the materials needed to build the main body of the city. As for whether the items she provided were what Jason urgently needed, it did not matter.
Rex simply took off a ring on her finger and passed it to Jason. "This is what my father left for me. I think it is worth your gift."
Jason took the ring and examined it. He was a little surprised. "So this strange thing is in the Glücos Family. I don't understand why your father did not build this city. If this city was built, unless the God of Light descended on this continent, the Glücos Family would not have to care about the Vatican at all, right?"
Salin did not know what Rex took out. She looked at the ring on Jason's finger curiously. Jason glared at Salin and said to Rex, "Why didn't you take this out to exchange with me earlier?"
Rex smiled bitterly. "The materials needed to build this city cannot be gathered in the Myers Continent at all. I did not think you would be interested in this. However, this is the best thing I can offer. It is just to express my gratitude to you. "
"It has great research value!" Jason held the ring in his hand and was a little hesitant. He took out the blueprint to help Salin this time. Rex's gratitude was a little too valuable.
"It's nothing. I think if you study all the contents of this blueprint, you won't refuse to teach it to me, right?" Rex replied with a smile.
"Master, what exactly is this?"
"You can ask Rex yourself. I only have a rough idea of what it is. Seems like I really have to give you something good, "Jason said as he waved his hand and brought Salin and Rex to the Dimensional Portal.
"Follow me to see Lancelot. I don't have the authority to do so now."
Rex was secretly delighted. Her item could not be completed, but the blueprint that Jason gave her was really good stuff. If the city in the blueprint was built, it would not be much different from Alchemy City, even if it was not comparable to it. What was in Salin's master's head to design such a city?
"Rex, what did you give to master?"
"The Heart of the Sky."
"What's that?" Salin did not react for a moment.
"It's the core blueprint of the Sky City built during the First Dynasty."
"Cough …" Salin coughed violently. Humans during the First Dynasty could still travel between realms without the need for any Dimensional Portal. They relied on their own strength. Many of the cities during that time were floating in the sky. The strong did not bother to fight with the weak on land. They were high above and did not even care about the rulers of the dynasties.
There were some Sky Cities during the Second Dynasty, but they were all destroyed during the Third Dynasty. The remains of those cities were demolished and destroyed. There were no remains of any scale on the land now, let alone the core blueprint of the Sky City. The technology had disappeared along with the decline of humans.
Rex had actually given Jason this.
"Master, what do you plan to give me?" The three of them arrived outside the Mage Tower after a flash of magical light. Salin pulled Jason's sleeve and asked.
