The golden sun slowly rose from the horizon in the east. The sky in the east was dyed with a sea of golden clouds.
As the Sea Lion approached Larus City, Kaede Sato, who was now on the deck, could finally see the corner of the city that was covered by the sea fog.
If he didn't see it with his own eyes, Kaede Sato would never believe that Larus City could be so high above sea level. The island on which Larus was located was like a pillar in the middle of the sea, standing alone on the sea surface.
Yes, Larus City was built on a pillar-shaped island that was relatively high above sea level. Kaede Sato could only see the steep cliffs of the island from afar.
However, according to the rumors of Larus City and the tourists, this was a city with highly advanced science and technology. There were a large number of glass lifts on the steep and rugged rock walls, which were obviously modern at first glance.
Below these glass lifts was a huge port built on the sea. Kaede Sato could only see a part of the port. It was built around the entire island. The scale of the port was so huge that Kaede Sato couldn't help but be shocked.
After witnessing the shocking scene of countless ships at the ports of Withered Leaf City and ShuiJing City, Kaede Sato was once again amazed by the scene in front of him. The prosperity of Larus City's port could only be described as insignificant compared to that of Withered Leaf City and ShuiJing City.
It could be said that the daily cargo throughput of Larus City's port was probably more than that of Withered Leaf City and ShuiJing City combined. This port that was built around the island was undoubtedly a huge money-making machine.
Gradually, the Sea Lion and the hundreds of ships of different sizes around it sailed into an empty berth in an orderly manner under the command of some transportation personnel who were riding large flying sprites.
"No wonder Larus City is so advanced. It's really rich and powerful." Kaede Sato took a deep breath and thought to himself with a sigh.
The Sea Lion had come to a complete stop. Kaede Sato followed the humans from the long plank of the Sea Lion to the dock. The first time he stepped onto the dock, he realized that something was wrong. The concrete under his feet felt soft. Some people were not used to the soft feeling and accidentally fell to the ground. It felt like they were stepping on a sponge.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine after a while. This concrete is not ordinary concrete. It's called floating soil. It's a new building material created by Larus City's Science and Technology Research Institute. Not only is it strong, but it's also very resilient. Most importantly, it's buoyant and not easily corroded by seawater. It's an excellent material for building buildings on the sea."
Seeing some of the passengers who boarded the Larus Port for the first time making a fool of themselves, a sailor who was receiving passengers at the Changban Pass explained to them with a smile.
"Floating soil, huh? It's really a magical building material. With it, it's not impossible for humans to build cities on the sea in the future. However, the cost of this material should be very high, and it has always been monopolized by Larus City. Otherwise, the area of Larus City would be much bigger than this."
Kaede Sato squatted down and poked at the floating soil under his feet. When he let go, he saw that it quickly returned to its original state. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Just as Kaede Sato thought, floating soil was very expensive to build. One square meter of it would cost millions of Alliance coins. Even if Larus City took in a huge amount of gold every day, it was only enough to replace a small area of the port with floating soil.
The local security forces in the Alliance were usually the police led by Miss Junsha. However, the security forces in Larus City were not human. Instead, they were square robots that flew around in the air. These robots, without exception, had a few small magnetic monsters or three magnetic monsters with them.
These square robots were very alert. They were distributed in various areas of the port and patrolled in all directions according to a certain pattern. Once they found someone who violated the rules of Larus City's port, they would immediately organize and issue a warning.
For those who violated the rules, these robots would be very magnanimous. They would only issue a small warning and record the person's violation.
However, when it came to the second violation, in addition to a warning, they would also issue a fine. This fine would increase exponentially as the number of violations increased.
If the person who violated the rules was unable to pay the fine, the friendly electronic expression on the robot's screen would turn into anger. They would not attack the offender immediately. They would only give the offender a certain amount of time to leave Larus City immediately.
However, if the offender dared to resist or did not leave Larus City within the stipulated time, these robots would become the embodiment of anger and violently expel the offender.
These square robots were not easy to bully. On the contrary, these square robots were inputted with a large amount of information from powerful trainers from the battle tower. Their commanding ability may be a little rigid, but each one of them was at least at the level of an elite trainer.
Furthermore, in addition to the small magnetic monsters that acted as an external power source, the square robots also had 18 small sprites of different attributes stored within them. These sprites were above level 20 and would make the best battle plan based on the small sprites sent by the opponent.
The most frightening thing was that these square robots could cooperate in battle. If all the small sprites within them were defeated, they could even combine to form a powerful robot to fight the opponent. (Transformers)
To put it bluntly, these square robots could be considered as pseudo-electric sprites. They could use the most commonly used electric sprites, hundred thousand volts, and electromagnetic cannons.
All in all, the defense of Larus City was very terrifying. Just the large number of robots that existed in various parts of Larus City was enough to rival a powerful trainer army of the Alliance.
Kaede Sato clearly remembered that in the movie, these square robots could even take down Void Ripper. Although it was only a temporary suppression, it was enough to show how powerful they were when they worked together.
