When the light of the teleportation faded, the person behind Bogula finally opened his eyes.
"Ahhhh! Finally home!" Shadow put a hand on Angor's shoulder and chuckled. "This is Teleportation Hall. I think it's a good name. Why don't we change it to Bird's Nest? It's so similar to a bird's nest. "
Since they were in the inner hall, Angor did not see any similarities between the building and the bird's nest, so he did not respond to Shadow's question. Instead, he looked around curiously.
At a glance, the Mission Hall was huge. It was almost half the size of the central plaza of Tree Spirit Garden. Angor estimated that the hall was about 500 meters away. The entire hall was covered in blue barriers, while a light screen flickered above his head. Most of the words on the screen were about the activation of certain portals.
For example, "Teleportation Portal XXX is activated."
For example, the teleportation array to a certain place will be activated at X o 'clock. Interested parties, please register at the teleportation service desk.
As far as he could see, this was only a small part of the teleportation hall. However, he could learn a lot from the small details. From what he saw, Angor already had a basic idea about this famous floating city in the southern wizarding region.
Management, scale, and data. Angor couldn't see anything like this anywhere else. Machine alchemy was the main reason why the floating city could operate in such a way.
Angor was already impressed by what he saw.
He began to look forward to what other surprises the floating city would bring him.
"Bumpkin!"
A resentful voice came from behind Angor.
Angor glanced at the speaker, who wasn't looking at him at all. The speaker was playing with a card in his hand. It was an information card that allowed him to enter the purification garden.
It was a young man dressed in a strange way. Black hair, black eyes, and dark circles under his eyes. He was wearing a black shirt, black pants, and black shoes. Other than the exposed pale skin, his entire body was black. His black clothes didn't look old. Instead, they were decorated with strange black rivets and straps, which highlighted his unique style.
"I'm not talking about 'someone'." He raised his head, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes under his black hair. "If someone wants to take it personally, then I can't do anything about it."
Angor knew he was talking about himself. He looked away without showing any emotion. He didn't want to talk to someone who was hostile for no reason.
The young man looked at Angor with a complicated expression. He glanced at Bogula and didn't say anything.
Shadow moved his head closer to Angor and gestured at the young man with the dark circles around his eyes. Shadow's eyes were saying, "Do you need my help?"
Angor shook his head. "Not now."
Speaking of this young man, Angor was also a little confused. When they left Silent Hill, the young man was already waiting for them. Bogula wasn't surprised to see him. When the portal was activated, Bogula protected the young man. Clearly, Bogula knew the young man.
He also noticed that Shadow seemed to know who the young man was. Shadow even rolled his eyes when he saw the young man.
From the moment the portal was activated to the moment they arrived at Floating City … Angor didn't even have time to ask Shadow who the young man was before the young man started to provoke them.
Angor was the only one who came to Floating Mech City for the first time, so he had to be the target of the young man's mockery. This was clearly the first time he had met the other party, but he didn't know where the other party's malice came from.
As he pondered, the blue barrier around them slowly disappeared.
"It's used to prevent teleportation accidents and space turbulence," Shadow explained.
As the flickering blue light disappeared, Angor looked at a woman standing outside the barrier. If he wasn't mistaken, she was the "Teleportation Attendant" shown on the screen.
"Welcome back, Mister Bogula. Teleportation Attendant Celia at your service. "Celia stepped forward with a big smile.
"Get out of my way." Bogula frowned.
Celia didn't seem offended by Bogula's attitude. Instead, she stepped aside with a smile.
Bogula led the group out of the hall.
Shadow whispered to Angor as they walked, "They're all apprentices. They're here as Teleportation Attendants to explain things to wizards who come to Floating Mech City for the first time. It's a lucrative job. If you meet a generous wizard, you'll find something useful for them. "
"Come to think of it, I once guarded a teleportation hall, and I met a very generous wizard …" Shadow mumbled to himself, but Angor didn't seem to be listening at all. Instead, he was frowning and thinking about something.
"What are you thinking about?" Shadow asked curiously.
Angor hesitated. "Why do I feel like that Teleportation Attendant Celia has been staring at me?"
"Really?" Shadow tried to recall. "I'm more manly than you. Poor taste."
Shadow assumed that Celia was only interested in the handsome young man's looks. Angor, on the other hand, was still puzzled. He could tell that the woman wasn't interested in his looks. She was looking at him up and down with a strange look.
Does she know me? Angor quickly dismissed the idea. He might be famous in Brute Cavern, but his name wouldn't reach as far as Floating Mech City.
Soon, they left the questing hall.
Unbeknownst to Angor, Celia's transmitter beeped again as soon as they left.
[Mission accomplished.] [Mission accomplished.]
…
Before coming to Floating Mech City, Angor tried to imagine the architectural style of this place many times. He believed that Floating Mech City, which could build railroads, trains, and airships, should be similar to the cities on Earth he saw in documentaries.
But when he actually came into contact with this magnificent floating city, he realized that it was completely different.
The buildings here did look like reinforced concrete, but they weren't like the cities on Earth. Instead, they looked more like "Dark Demon City".
The buildings were densely packed, with narrow paths that led to higher floors. There were also iron walkways in the air.
Even the metal buildings didn't look "modern" or "technologically advanced". Instead, they looked like a mixture of post-punk styles. Even the rusty iron sheets on the outer walls of the buildings seemed to have their own purpose.
Angor also noticed that this place was indeed a hub for trade in the wizarding world. Most of the metal flowing through this place would be bitten off.
Whether it was the tall buildings or the streets, they were all crowded with signboards. It felt like the old streets in the documentary "Hong Kong".
But unlike the ones in the documentary, the signs here didn't have neon lights, but they had a unique charm. The power of runes was everywhere.
Angor looked up and saw several shops selling potions. The potion bottles on the signs looked like a chain. The only difference was their size and color.
Angor didn't see many potion shops in Twilight Well, but he already saw at least four of them in this small corner of Floating Mech City.
"What do you want to buy? Just tell me."
As he sighed, a strange cackle reached his ears. "Hahaha!"
"You can have anything you want as long as you agree to become my puppet."
Angor quickly calmed himself down. It was Bogula. This was the first time Bogula talked to him since he woke up, and the man was going straight to the point.
Angor lowered his head. "I don't need anything."
Bogula looked back at Angor with a pair of passionate eyes. His snake-like tongue almost touched Angor's earlobe. "I'll be waiting for your request at any time. Jajaja …"
Bogula took to the sky. "Diablo, take everyone back to my fortress. Don't leave a single one behind."
With that said, Bogula's figure flickered and disappeared into thin air.
Shadow walked to Angor and comforted him. "Don't worry. I'll get you out of here."
Before he could finish, he heard a snicker. It was the young man with dark circles who had been following them.
"You're much kinder than before, Diablo." The young man's voice was soft and wet. It was very uncomfortable to listen to.
Shadow snickered. "Are you looking for a beating, Falca?"
Shadow narrowed his eyes and rolled up his sleeves as he walked towards Falca, the youth with dark circles under his eyes. It looked like he was trying to provoke Falca.
Falca's voice paused as he took a few steps back. Seven or eight black bats flapped their wings and appeared behind him.
"I want to see if you're worthy of being called a genius." Falca wasn't afraid at all despite the fact that he was a full tier lower than Shadow. Instead, he was eager to give it a try.
Before Shadow could make a move, Falca ordered his bats to attack Shadow first.
Shadow didn't try to dodge. He just looked at Falca with a grin. While Falca was still trying to figure out what was going on, he heard a strange mechanical voice. "Beep beep. Energy signature detected."
A metallic eye suddenly flew above Falca's head. "Detected energy signature. Summoning array detected. Please stop the spell at once, or you will be banished."
Falca paused for a second and looked at Shadow. "He was the one who started it."
Shadow was adjusting his sleeves and collar. "I'm just fixing my collar. I'm not going to fight you. Rune Detector, remember his face. Next time he tries to cast a spell, give him a good beating! "
Falca raised an eyebrow in anger. Shadow must have noticed the Rune Detector and put on an act. Even if he retracted his mana right now, the Rune Detector would still keep track of his movements in Floating Mech City from now on.
"You!" Falca pointed at Shadow and then at Angor. "I'll remember you!"
You?
Angor didn't know what to say. What's going on?
After the Rune Detector left, Shadow put a hand on Angor's shoulder. "I didn't want to teach him a lesson, but he just messed with me."
