Raphael awkwardly chuckled.
"Well, I'm not very clear about this. After all, this is the decision of the Starry Sky College, so I don't dare to guarantee anything. But I got some news that if nothing unexpected happens, that crystal will be taken out for everyone to study.
"It is said that the crystal contains countless inscriptions, and everyone sees something different. No one can say how many inscriptions it contains, because after so many years, no matter who it is, the inscriptions they see have never been the same.
"Everyone will comprehend something different when looking at that crystal, and there is no end to it.
"As for the three deans of the Starry Sky College, they have devoted their entire lives to the research of that crystal. The Starry Sky College includes the most formidable alchemists of this world, and unraveling the secret of that crystal is their life's pursuit."
As Raphael said that, a longing expression appeared on his face.
"As an alchemist seeking the truth, I'm afraid that any alchemist would pursue such an unsolvable mystery.
"Sir Mafa, this is the best opportunity. After so many years, I'm afraid that no one has been able to unravel the secret of that crystal. We don't need to think about unraveling the secret.
"We only need the opportunity to study that crystal and obtain a rare comprehension. To an alchemist, this is an opportunity that can't be refused. You wouldn't want to participate, right?"
Lin Yun thought for a bit. In any case, he had a lot of things to do in the Odin Kingdom, so it would be good to follow Raphael to participate in this gathering. Moreover, he was also very curious about that crystal. It would be best if he could see it.
"I didn't refuse. Wait for me to settle some matters with the Family, then we can set off."
After settling matters with the Merlin Family, Lin Yun followed Raphael and set off on the floating fortress that Raphael had come on.
The shape of this Floating Fortress was different from the Floating Fortress used by City in the Sky. It looked like a shuttle-shaped silver-white fish. There were no gaps on its surface, and it reflected a silver-white metallic luster. Its tip was very sharp.
Seeing this shape, Lin Yun knew that this thing was very fast, and it was powered by magical crystals, which was especially suitable for long-distance flight.
If he relied on himself to fly to the Odin Kingdom, Lin Yun wouldn't need to worry about mana consumption due to his Natural Demiplane. But other Heaven Mages didn't have that much mana to wantonly squander.
Stepping on the flying shuttle, the space inside was not too big. The flying shuttle was more than ten meters long, and there were only three resting rooms inside. Obviously, it was for Raphael's personal use. It was enough to pick up one or two people, any more and it would be too crowded.
When Lin Yun boarded the flying shuttle, Raphael's face showed a little pride, just like a child showing off his favorite toy.
"Hey, Sir Mafa, can you take a look at my flying shuttle and see if there are any areas that can be improved?"
Lin Yun shot a glance at Raphael and chuckled. He knew that this guy was showing off his flying shuttle, but his expression was very sincere, as if he was really asking for guidance.
He opened his mouth and spat out a few law runes that landed on the flying shuttle. In an instant, ice-blue veined patterns appeared on the silver-white body of the flying shuttle. There was also a dark green law rune floating in front of it. The air around this law rune seemed to automatically slide to the sides.
Behind the Hovering Flying Shuttle, a circle of gorgeous scarlet patterns appeared. In just a few seconds, the Hovering Flying Shuttle's modifications were completed.
Raphael stared blankly at the floating flying shuttle that had become even more gorgeous and high-profile. He was a little unable to react.
'Heavens, I was just being polite, how could Sir Mafa really help me modify it? Eh? Heavens, this modification made the flying shuttle even more perfect in an instant.
'The Hurricane Rune at the front kept emptying the air in the front, making the flying shuttle suffer less resistance and increasing its flying speed.
'The ice patterns on the surface can reduce the friction between the flying shuttle and the air when flying at high speeds, reducing the wear and tear on the materials, reducing the number of times the flying shuttle needs to be maintained.
'Those flame patterns at the back seem to be bursting flames. Could it be that he wants to draw support from the huge propulsion force of the flames? That would require a huge amount of mana.
'How long has it been? Not only has Sir Mafa's strength been increasing, but his alchemy skills have also become so formidable. I can't even understand those patterns … Oh, damn, I already advanced to the Artisan realm!'
After a few glances, Raphael couldn't understand them. He could only make out a general idea. In any case, he already knew that Lin Yun's alchemy force was a lot stronger than his own, so he wasn't afraid of losing face and directly asked.
"Sir Mafa, this … Can you explain …?"
Lin Yun pointed at the front of the flying shuttle.
"That law rune is only the main body. It's surrounded by 389 hurricane runes that allow the air to slide to the sides. Moreover, it's completely compatible with the flying shuttle's shape. The air will be compressed to the back of the flying shuttle, forming a small propulsion force. Overall, it can increase the flying shuttle's speed by 40%.
"The ice patterns on the surface form a rotating pattern that can reduce the wear and tear on the surface of the flying shuttle when the air is rubbed. Moreover, it can form a spiral propulsion force that can form a protective layer similar to a Hurricane Shield.
"The flame patterns at the back can burst out flames for a short period of time to form a huge propulsion force. Within three seconds, it can triple the flying shuttle's speed, and within ten seconds, it can burst out with nine to ten times its original speed. A spirit mana crystal can only last for three minutes at most.
"There is also a stabilizing system made of earth runes inside that reduces the flying shuttle's weight and reduces the huge pressure when it suddenly accelerates. Oh, it's the huge pressure when the flying shuttle suddenly accelerates.
"When there are mages under the Archmage realm inside, it's best not to use the most powerful flames to accelerate, because the people inside will be crushed to death by the sudden increase in pressure …"
Lin Yun gave Raphael a detailed explanation. This kind of thing wasn't worth hiding, and Lin Yun had done a lot of similar research on the Four Element Bomb, so it wasn't a big deal to modify it in passing.
However, Raphael looked as if he had seen a ghost. He had a horrified expression on his face as he circled around the flying shuttle a dozen times, going in and out of it a dozen times before walking out with a defeated look on his face.
"Sir Mafa, I was just joking. You really don't give me any sense of accomplishment. After all, this flying shuttle is something I personally made after advancing to the Artisan realm …"
Lin Yun was a bit embarrassed, he had really thought that Raphael wanted him to modify it.
Lin Yun didn't say anything, but Raphael grinned and affectionately caressed the flying shuttle while letting out a strange chuckle.
"Hey, the current flying shuttle is better than the ones made by most people in the City in the Sky. No, it's better than the ones made by those Artisans.
"Their flying shuttles aren't that fast, ten times the speed, hahaha …"
Raphael let out a strange chuckle, but Lin Yun ignored him and entered the flying shuttle. This kind of thing pursued speed, it wasn't used for fighting. The City in the Sky had plenty of powerful floating fortresses, and even the main city of the City in the Sky was a huge floating fortress.
Raphael and Lin Yun hadn't left yet when the Black Tower's people arrived. It just so happened that the Black Tower's people were also going to the Odin Kingdom, so they took them with them.
After entering the flying shuttle and closing the hatch, Raphael impatiently entered the operation room. Raphael casually stuffed a Level 35 mana crystal into the energy supply slot of the flying shuttle.
A huge amount of energy was extracted from the mana crystal, and then all the abilities of the flying shuttle were quickly activated, especially the abilities that Lin Yun had previously modified.
From the outside, the flying shuttle was rapidly ascending, and then a tornado shrouded it. The air in front of it was emptied, and the pressure from the air itself started pushing the flying shuttle forward.
Following the flow of mana, a layer of spiraling airflow enveloped the flying shuttle, and the gorgeous scarlet patterns at the back started shining as ten-meter-long flames suddenly erupted.
In a split second, the Hovering Flying Shuttle disappeared from where it was. A second later, it appeared several hundred meters away, and a few seconds later, its speed had surpassed the speed of sound transmission. Inside the Hovering Flying Shuttle, one could no longer hear the loud rumbling and tremors.
After sitting down, Lin Yun decisively cast a Mana Defense on himself before calmly looking at Raphael.
Sure enough, after the flying shuttle started moving, Raphael's body flew out as though he had been slapped by someone and slammed into the wall at the back of the control room. His entire body seemed to have been glued to the metal wall, and his face was so red that it was almost dripping blood. After releasing his mana to protect himself, he felt a little better, but his entire body seemed to have been suppressed by a huge force, and he was unable to move.
Lin Yun was smiling as he sat there, motionless. After three minutes, the flying shuttle's speed stabilized, and Raphael fell from the wall. He hurriedly controlled the flying shuttle and made the flames erupting from its tail dissipate. The flying shuttle's speed slowed down, and after falling out of the speed of sound, a thunderous rumble echoed.
Raphael paled as he looked at Lin Yun, who had cast a Silence Barrier on him.
"Sir Mafa, isn't this a bit too … too extreme?"
Raphael still had lingering fear as he recalled what Lin Yun had said. Those under the Archmage realm might be directly suppressed to death when the flying shuttle burst out with its full power. This was no joke.
He was a Heaven Rank powerhouse, but he had been caught off guard and stuck to the wall like a gecko. The shields of mages under the Archmage realm would definitely shatter in an instant.
That huge pressure was like a Gravity Spell that was a few dozen times stronger than normal. His blood and internal organs were being squeezed.
He might really die if he wasn't careful …
Raphael grumbled with a pale expression, but he didn't say anything after glancing outside.
"Heavens, it's only been a few minutes, yet we have already flown over a hundred kilometers? Haha, perfect, Sir Mafa, I take back my words, I apologize, this is the most perfect modification I have ever seen! "
The original purpose of the floating flying shuttle was to allow a person to travel and escape. Of course, the latter was the most important.
Without complete coordinates, even a 3rd Rank Heaven Mage wouldn't be able to cross two hundred kilometers in a few minutes if they opened a Spatial Door!
With this thing, when encountering danger, it would be equivalent to having a guarantee of life. It was like encountering a Spatial Storm or an Elemental Storm, they definitely wouldn't be able to open a Spatial Door to escape.
The only way was to fly, but relying on flying to escape that kind of crazy range wasn't certain. Many mages, even Heaven Mages, had died under that kind of disaster, especially in the Endless Sea. The most fatal thing there wasn't the countless powerful magic beasts and marine races, but rather the unpredictable vile environment.
But with this thing, not to mention being able to go anywhere in Noscent, the chances of surviving that kind of danger would be a lot higher than other Heaven Mages.
Raphael was pale, but he couldn't care less about that uncomfortable feeling. It was as if he had swallowed a dozen Berserk Potions. He stayed in the pilot's cabin and kept experimenting with bursting with full speed.
The border between the Merlin Family and the Andalusia Kingdom and the Odin Kingdom was several tens of thousands of kilometers. Under normal circumstances, even the fastest flying shuttle would take seven days, but Raphael had flown over in a day and a half.
After arriving, the City in the Sky's welcoming team was waiting. A huge battleship was floating in the air, and Raphael's flying shuttle landed on that huge battleship.
Lin Yun's eyes flickered as he looked at the floating battleship outside the flying shuttle.
That kind of battleship was a crucial weapon for Noscent's future conquest of the Endless Sea, the prototype of a magic battleship.
When Noscent developed to its peak, the number of planes it colonized could be said to be difficult to count. The biggest contributors weren't those unfathomably powerful mages that could destroy a plane on their own.
Rather, it was the magic battleship. Even a relatively old magic battleship could be used by a few Great Mages to conquer a small plane.
