Chapter 98: Purchase Industry (Part 2)
Salin and others were led to Sumano and walked towards the city center. Salin walked very slowly. He and Rex were walking while observing the city.
Alchemy City is indeed unique, and Salin never thought that a city would look like this.
In the wide street, all the stones on the ground are spliced with magic, and they are tightly sewn. There are drainage holes on both sides of the street, and there are maze-like drainage pipes below. The street is wide enough that the carriage only moves along one side and there will be no congestion.
In addition to the tall buildings on both sides of the street, except for the decorative sculptures and patterns, a magic lamp appears every 100 meters. It is still daytime, and these magic lamps have not lit up. However, Salin could imagine how spectacular it would be if all these magic lamps in the Alchemy City were glowing at night.
The first floor of the buildings on both sides of the main road are basically shops, and everything is done. Passing by a huge glass window, Salin saw several magic apprentices dismantling a puppet more than five meters high.
The equipment store here is also very different from other cities. It is basically a place where some equipment is operated alone. A equipment store on the corner of the street looks like it only sells armor. Since there are four swordsman camps in the Alchemy City, the consumption of swordsmen is quite large. At the door of this armor store at the corner are two puppets taller than ordinary people, wearing yellow-coloured magic armor, occasionally doing a few very imposing actions to attract business.
On the store’s glass window, two lines of color changing are written with magic potions - the Dinima Knight’s armor forging technology, a 1,500-year heritage, to ensure your safety.
Although the knight class has declined, the forging technique of knight armor has been passed down. Such magical words may be of good appeal to a swordsman.
The sky was gloomy and it seemed to be raining, and the people on the street didn't care. Salin saw many people wearing magic apprentice robes, in a hurry.
Among the many depressingly tall buildings, some relatively low buildings often appear. These buildings have different styles and, in terms of materials, almost all are built according to the standards of the Magic Laboratory.
These buildings are much shorter than the surrounding houses, but they are about twenty meters high. These buildings will not exceed five floors, and there are open spaces for parking and horses in front of the door.
According to Sumano, the width of Alchemy City is 12 miles. So many tall buildings can indeed accommodate as many people as the Holy Rock City.
Both Alchemy City and Holy Rock City are big, but Holy Rock City is grand and makes people feel sad when they see it. Alchemy City is huge, and everything except carriages is much larger than normal cities.
This kind of big thing makes people feel empty, as if in this city, you will always be alone, and the others are far away and cannot get close to each other.
It's so weird! Salin found that he liked Alchemy City very much, but he had an indescribable emotion that made him want to escape from this place.
The Holy Rock City is also very clean and orderly, but that kind of order makes people live a more comfortable life.
The order of the Alchemy City is warm, like a magic formula, equal to anyone. This is the feeling of magic, an extreme order.
Salin gradually understood the difference between Holy Rock City and Alchemy City. Alchemy City is like a construction puppet, with very delicate interiors and no operational errors. Holy Rock City is a mutated construction puppet that can communicate with you.
If you want to survive in Alchemy City, you must have strong control. A city like an alchemy machine will not be a kind of harm.
The Alchemy Tower had long been seen by Salin, and Rex also looked at the towering towering tower, with the complex emotions in his heart being unspeakable.
This is not the traditional "tower". From a distance, it is like a mountain cut into six sides. There are countless rooms carved on this mountain, and the square in front of the tower is wide enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
The six edges and corners of the Alchemy Tower are pure metal, with magical characters engraved on it. This common pattern has an indescribable shocking effect on the Alchemy Tower. This tower is probably more than fifty floors, and even if the dozens of floors above are slightly shorter, it is definitely more than two hundred meters high.
These six metal edges and corners are like spears inserted into the sky, above nine floors, and there is also a bridge in the air, passing through the tower, and it is well connected.
The bridges are ancient architectural style. It is said that the imperial capitals of the Second Dynasty had some urban bridges that were dozens of miles long, and there were carriages in the closed bridges.
There is indeed no ten-story magic tower in Alchemy City, but this alchemy tower is definitely the highest in the entire Meers continent. Compared with this building, it would be good if the first church in the Holy See was half tall.
This is not pride, it can be regarded as pride. If you stand at the top of this building, will you feel like you are overlooking all living beings?
Salin knew that this kind of arrogance was wrong, but he longed to own this tall building. At least this time, he would buy the tallest room here.
Looking at the main entrance that was nearly ten meters high, Salin secretly warned himself that this was just an ordinary building. Apart from being tall, there was no place that could compare to the ten-story magic tower of Rafal. He was so excited that it was not a reaction that a magician should have. If it were a human from tens of thousands of years ago, it would be no difficult to build such a building.
No matter how high this building is, the mages of Alchemy City did not build it into a magic tower, and even the name is just like a large alchemy laboratory. On the nine floors, there are houses for sale, which only means that the magicians of Alchemy City are not really prepared to face the gods.
"Sumano, take me to the place where the houses are sold." Salin didn't want to look at it anymore. This alchemy tower is an extremely contradictory thing. On the one hand, both in scale and height, the alchemy tower surpassed the largest building in the Holy See. On the other hand, the alchemy tower does not really surpass the bottom line of the gods.
This is a mixture of self-confidence and inferiority. Self-confidence comes from the power of the magician. Inferiority is because this power is still in decline. The magician no longer has the courage of human beings tens of thousands of years ago and can declare war on the gods.
Now the magicians of the Meers Continent rely on plane rules. After the goddess's death, no god can personally descend on the Meers Continent.
A thought suddenly appeared in Salin's mind: If it were Rex, would he build a magic tower that the gods could not bear? If Rex provokes the gods, would he still have to be with her?
The inner space of the Alchemy Tower felt as big as the square outside, and there were no obvious pillars. Looking up at the dome, a huge magic array supported the space above the first layer. Salin did not see any grooves in this magic array, but such a large magic array could not rely solely on the little elemental force absorbed by the magic array itself.
It seems that it is also the structure in Figaro's magic formula. Salin did not calculate carefully. This magic array is too complicated. It should have spread the weight of dozens of layers above, allowing hundreds of thick metal pillars hidden in the wall to bear it.
If the scale is reduced to one tenth, Salin himself could design it. Even with such a huge structure in front of him, as long as there are thirty or fifty years, the mage of Ceylon City can build the same giant tower according to the drawings.
There are not many people on the first floor, nor are there the most common professional union pattern on the mainland. In the hall, in addition to the part against the wall, there are some independent small houses in the middle, like closed counters. Salin prefers these exquisite and compact houses, and a lot of magic plants have been planted around these houses.
"Sir Salin, do you really want to buy this house in the Alchemy Tower?" Su Manno asked repeatedly. He didn't want to bring a poor young man. If he was implicated, he would be thrown back to his hometown and would never come to Alchemy City to make a living.
"Don't worry, we can afford the price." Salin understood Sumano very well.
"Then, come with me." Su Manno led Salin and others through the hall and came to a door on the side. He said tactfully: "Sir Salin, you can't joke around in Alchemy City. The price of this house in the Alchemy Tower will not be less than five million gold coins."
"Gold coins are meaningless to the mage." Salin was not angry, and he also answered Sumano in a tactful manner.
In item trading at level 7 or above, the magician does not care whether there are gold coins, as long as you can take out materials or equipment of the same price.
The door in front of him opened, and Salin followed Sumano in. This was a winch-like lifting machine, usually used in mines. However, the alchemy tower was too high, and a low-level mage would probably be exhausted if he wanted to climb up.
"Go to the tenth floor." Su Manno said to a magic circle inside the lifting machine.
The sound of the metal noose sounded above the lifting machine. For safety reasons, there was no silent barrier set in the lifting machine.
The machine slowly rose, and the feeling in Salin's heart was very complicated. The reason why he became a magician was that Jason wanted to buy his house, which gave him the opportunity to embark on the path of magic.
Now he is also a great magician, and he also has to buy a house by himself. The difference between the past and the future is like a different life.
Rex also wanted to own a house here, in the center of Alchemy City. But she was a member of the Grucos family, and this idea was a bit unrealistic. When signing the purchase contract, it must be a magic contract. Once she said her full name, it might cause a lot of trouble.
It’s also good to ask Salin to buy it. Salin’s teacher is from the Alchemy City. In a sense, Salin can join the Alchemy City at any time and become a mage who is not subject to the state’s constraints.
After about seventy or eighty meters rising, the metal winch on the top of the tower stopped working. The door opened, Salin sorted out his robe and asked Rex: "How many items can you sell?"
