Everyone felt as if they were situated at the summit of a tall mountain. They were surrounded by a vast expanse of blue sky and snowy white clouds, and it was as if they could pluck the clouds out of the blue. The girls had been wandering around the teleportation formation in the Magus Tower for a long time, and they couldn't help but let loose cries of surprise as soon as they stepped out into the distance.
"Is this … Is this really heaven?" Laeticia looked around and asked Baiyi blankly.
Can't you say something more auspicious?
"This is a city in the clouds, right?" Tisdale was more knowledgeable than the other girls. "I've read in the books that there are many powerful Wizards who build their own cities in the sky …"
Baiyi shook his head and said calmly, "This is Gouve."
"Eh?!"
"What???"
The girls exclaimed in unison. They did not expect that after going through so many teleportation formations in the Mage Tower, they would end up in another realm.
"What else? We went through so many teleportation formations along the way, "Baiyi said with a smile. Baiyi said with a smile. "Since we're going out to play, let's go somewhere far away."
"But this place is too far …" Mia stuck out her tongue. She was excited and nervous at the same time. This was the first time she had left Isythre.
"You guys will feel that this trip was worth it," Baiyi said confidently. Baiyi said confidently as he led the girls down the winding mountain path. The girls thought that they would have to walk a long way to reach the foot of the mountain, since they were at the top of the mountain, where they could touch the clouds with their hands. However, after a short while, a small town appeared in front of them after they passed through a patch of clouds.
Unlike the bustling towns that they had in mind, this place looked very deserted. A few small houses with shop signs were closed, and the place looked deserted.
"There's a town at the top of the mountain?" Laeticia asked curiously. "But it's so deserted …"
Baiyi did not answer. He led the group through the deserted town and stood at the edge of a cliff. He waved at the girls and said, "Come and take a look?"
"Eh? It's dangerous, isn't it?" Mia said, but her curiosity got the better of her and she moved closer to Baiyi. Baiyi quickly hugged the little girl's soft body and let her look out.
Mia was stunned. She was not on a mountain, but high up in the sky. The ground she was standing on was actually a small floating island in the sky!
Around this small floating island were hundreds of similar floating islands of various sizes. They were scattered all over like stars in the sky, like a starry sky that was spread out on a curtain.
A few girls who had mustered their courage to come to the edge of the cliff exclaimed in surprise. While they were marveling at the amazing view, they subconsciously leaned closer to Baiyi because they were high up in the sky.
This place was perfect for traveling.
"The realm of Gouve is actually much larger than Isythre, but there is not a single continent here. Aside from the ocean that covers the entire realm, there are also floating islands of various sizes. For some reason, these islands are perpetually floating in the sky. We are standing on one of the taller ones, but behind the clouds, there are islands that are even taller," Baiyi explained to the girls as he pointed at the sky. "Gouve is much bigger than Isythre, but it does not have a single continent.
Gouve was a unique natural phenomenon that was still being studied by the academic community. However, because it was formed so long ago, even before the recorded history of mankind, no one had been able to come up with a reliable explanation. Based on current speculations, Gouve was originally a continent similar to Isythre. However, after a series of events, it became what it was today.
What kind of event could have caused such a change? Many people thought that it was an earth-shattering battle.
However, what kind of battle could shatter an entire continent into countless floating islands, and the shockwaves could keep them permanently floating in the air? Baiyi could not imagine what had happened here. He felt that if he were to attack, he might be able to cause such destruction, but he would not be able to keep the floating islands floating in the sky for tens of thousands of years.
Regardless of the cause, the realm of Gouve was a wondrous place. Humans and other creatures lived on the floating islands that were slightly larger in area. They tamed all kinds of birds and beasts to use as transportation. They connected the floating islands together and built a glorious civilization.
"No wonder the dragon knights here are so famous," Tisdale said in a low voice after listening to Baiyi's explanation.
"A place like this is a paradise for all kinds of wild animals. They live on the floating islands without being harassed by enemies or humans. It's so sweet," Baiyi said half-jokingly. Baiyi said half-jokingly. In truth, developing and building in such a harsh environment was even more difficult than digging potatoes in Siberia. Even so, this place was much more peaceful than Isythre. There were no demons to harass them, and there were very few civil wars between humans. The few kingdoms that occupied large areas of the floating islands had existed for thousands of years, and yet, they were still able to coexist peacefully.
After all, the land was sparsely populated, and transportation was inconvenient. With such a harsh environment, one would be lucky to survive. No one would start a war. Gouve might be the largest realm out of the three, but at the same time, it was also the least populated. It was also the most peaceful.
It was indeed a great place to travel.
"Come to think of it, we're so high up, but we don't feel cold at all? We can't even feel the wind. This place is amazing! " Little Mia asked curiously. The girls loved to look pretty, so they did not expect to travel so far. When they went out, they were still wearing short summer dresses. Their skirts were too short, and their long legs swayed so much that Baiyi was dazzled by them.
However, Baiyi did not object to it, as usual.
"It's not the environment that's amazing; it's the magic," Baiyi said calmly. He reached out his right hand and lightly tapped the air a few times, dispelling the magic that he had secretly placed on the girls. At the same time, he also affected their surroundings.
The girls felt the temperature around them plummet. It was so cold that they almost jumped out of their skin. The girls felt as if they had fallen into an icehouse, and they let out a series of screams. Suddenly, a bone-chilling wind blew around them, causing their short skirts to flutter high in the air.
'Tsk tsk, Mia is wearing a teddy bear style? What about Tisdale? She's a little too mature … 'Laeticia was more well-behaved, so she wore a long dress, and Attie …
Baiyi rearranged the temperature control formation on their bodies, then pinched Attie's cheeks and scolded, "Who told you not to wear your clothes properly? Who told you not to wear your clothes properly?"
"Ughhh …" Attie was on the verge of tears. 'Aren't I wearing my clothes properly?
Anyway, this place is perfect for travel … '
"Do you understand now?" Baiyi released Attie and grinned. "Why didn't I tell you to wear more clothes? Make your skirts shorter, okay? "
"Ughh … It's so cold here." Mia seemed to still be fearful of the sudden drop in temperature. She quickly snuggled up to Baiyi and rubbed herself against his body to warm him up, making him feel quite comfortable.
"Before magic was popularized here, a floating island like this was uninhabitable. Whether it was the strong wind or the low temperature, it was fatal. Only those floating islands that were low in the sky, or even close to the sea, could be inhabited," Baiyi continued to explain. Baiyi continued to explain, "At that time, it was basically impossible to build any buildings on the floating islands, so the only way to do so was to dig holes in the rocks. The people living on the islands were living like rats. Fortunately, magic was popularized, and people set up a large-scale wind-proof enchantment on the islands. Only then did the islands become livable."
"No wonder the town is so deserted …" Laeticia hugged her shoulders and said with lingering fear.
"Deserted? Not really … "Baiyi said as he brought the girls back to the town. He pushed open the door of a clothing store and walked in.
When they entered, there was no counter or waitress. Instead, there was a spiral staircase that led downwards. Filled with curiosity, the girls followed Baiyi down the stairs.
Then, they felt as if they had entered another world.
The real town was right below them! There were bright and dazzling magic lamps all around, illuminating the place as if it was daytime. The endless stream of people and the clamorous arguments made one feel the vitality and vitality of this place.
However, the clothes of the passersby around them were not as cool as the girls. They were all wearing thick winter clothes, as if they were spending the winter in a cave. Even the breath they exhaled when they spoke had the unique white color of the cold.
"This floating island has existed for a long time. The Sorcerer's Association's portal was built on top of it. Although they also set up a wind-proof barrier, the underground cave was already built. They were used to living here, but for the convenience of outsiders like us, they set up some decorative facades on the surface," Baiyi explained briefly. Baiyi pointed at the real clothing store, which was located at the entrance of the cave, and led the girls inside.
As soon as they opened the door, the store owner greeted them warmly. "Oh! Guests from afar! Welcome! Huh? What a group of beautiful ladies! You must be freezing, right? Don't worry, I have the warmest clothes here. At the same time, it won't hinder you from showing off your beauty … "
