Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 7: Tour the City of Babel

Nothing happened on the airship.

When Russell was able to see the resplendent and resplendent Sun Island clearly, nothing happened... Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

It seems that the "event reenactment" he is worried about will not come. perhaps.

"I have to say that the decoration style of Sun Island is much more gorgeous than that of Happy Island."

Russell admired the wonderful scenery outside the window, and couldn't help admiring: "While being a local tyrant, there is also a sacred feeling..."

If we talk about the characteristics of Happy Island, it is the difference between the upper and lower urban areas... In Happy Island, the upper urban area full of green plants and snow-capped mountains under the sun, full of vitality, and the lower urban area that stands densely in the shadows are only separated by a line. In order to distinguish between heaven and hell, it gives people a strange shock like the reflection of the lake.

—Then, the style of Sun Island is "brilliant and brilliant".

Seen from the outside, Sun Island is golden as a whole.

It is not the standard disc shape like Happy Island and Sogo Island, but at the three corners of the sky island, a slightly smaller golden disc is propped up, perfectly dividing the outer diameter of the sky island into equal lengths. Three sections.

Then on the corner of each small disc, three smaller discs were propped up.

And on top of these nine medium discs, each supports three smallest discs. Each of the smallest discs is about two-thirds the size of the Tianen Park. Each disk is spinning slowly, and the larger disk is spinning at an even slower speed.

The smallest twenty-seven disks can make a circle in about a day, the nine medium-sized disks can make a circle in a month, and the three larger disks can make a circle in a year. will rotate. The higher you go, the more you can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, and the sun's rising in the east and setting in the west.

The shells of these discs are all golden. Looking from the outside of Sky Island, it looks like a magnificent machine that tells about eternity, spinning like this forever. The water pumped from below is converted into clean water and transported to higher levels. And the cooling water flowing down from the edge of the rotating high-rise city is like a waterfall, pouring on the lower city, making the lower city more primitive and more natural.

The higher the area, the more modern and integrated it is.

The twenty-seven discs lifted to the top disc are high-rise buildings as dense as the lower city of Happy Island; the nine discs in the middle are bustling commercial areas like the compass area and the giant screen area. The next three discs are moon-white, post-modern buildings with artistic shapes, as well as large-scale, sapphire-like ponds and green plants with a sense of planning, which will remind people To the refreshing style inside Tianen Park.

And the bottom layer, the whole body of the empty island, is full of natural beauty.

It was not a wilderness, but a perfectly planned wilderness—a huge flowery garden with fantastic and magnificent colors.

Circle after circle, in different colors, many flower beds, statues, and minarets in groups of four, six, eight, twelve, and twenty form a pattern with central symmetry, looking down from above , like a handmade wool rug with extremely intricate patterns.

Russell had never seen a grandiose picture on this scale.

That is a gorgeous picture painted on the entire sky island as paper.

One after another, huge and resplendent palaces stand in the center of the picture scroll, surrounded by many clear streams and running through the giant metropolitan area. The twelve sky-high towers scattered around the city, as well as the huge spire in the middle of the castle, formed a primitive corona.

And the twelve high towers and the huge minaret in the center are actually huge bell towers.

No matter which layer of the disc, there are densely packed bell towers.

Just by approaching the past, it seems that you can vaguely hear the click and click of the hands on the clock.

In front of it, the island of happiness can only be called simplicity.

The automatic factory in its lower city is obviously much less than that of Happy Island, it is not so prominent, and there are not so many lights on. It looks like a mechanical base under a huge clock.

"It is indeed gorgeous."

Bad Day also nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a crime."

"Because it's too extravagant, isn't it?"

Russell admired the disc city and said softly.

The big white dog hummed and sighed lightly: "It is true.

"That is an unimaginable luxury for the residents of Taoyuan Island, Happy Island and Sogo Island."

"how?"

"—Because in fact, there are less than a thousand people living on the main body of Sun Island."

"...a thousand people?"

"To be precise, there are more than 880 people."

The bad day said in a deep voice.

More than 800 elves standing on the pinnacle of power, and about 60 humans, formed the "Scribe Committee".

Including the high-level executives of "Thoth Spirit", and some elves who do not serve the company. Humans come from Thoth's psychic board, as well as some high-ranking members of the Cyber ​​Church.

They are the unique "secretary class" on Sun Island.

"It is said to be 'secretaries', but what they are responsible for guarding is not just books, but the entire 'old era' including antiques and cultural relics.

"The magnificent city is full of antiques and cultural relics from the old era, and samples of various ancient technologies are stored.

"In the huge gardens outside the city, every plant and tree in it was taken from the era on the ground before it was destroyed. Unlike the natural scenery of Taoyuan Island with plants and beasts, these plants are more like frozen specimens .Maintaining the posture that it may be transplanted to the ground again at any time, without breeding or mutation."

Like fake flowers and grass, it is so quiet that it is frightening.

The entire empty island is completely free of mosquitoes and wild animals. Just the rustling of the leaves in the breeze and the soft sound of the river.

Time seems to have stood still here.

"...like a gene pool."

Russell was a little surprised: "Did the dragon allow them to do this?"

"The giant dragons forbid humans and newly born elves to study history, nor to write history in books. But they did not destroy the existing history, nor did they let the elves who knew the history die suddenly.

"In other words, they just don't want history to spread.

"And what Sun Island did happened to be on the bottom line of the giant dragon.

"The Sun Island gathered all the books that the elves could collect. They put together all the knowledge of the old era that they had preserved when they fled to Sky Island to form a huge 'Sun Library'. And the knowledge here Allowed to enter and not allowed to exit... Once a very small number of human beings allowed to enter the Solar Library, they cannot leave, nor can they access the network. Only in this way can they evade the dragon's prohibition.

"Everyone knows what they are secretly researching. But these ancient intellectuals hid secrets and kept secrets from anyone, and they didn't seek any allies. They just settled in a corner.

"Except for the scriptures in the church's 'Holy Temple' and the historical documents stored in the 'Mage's Tower' on the ground, this is the most likely place to store historical truth."

Bad Ri also stared at Sun Island and said softly.

Russell was a little surprised: "Then why..."

"It's strange. The Tower of Babel has never attacked the Sun Library."

Bad Day smiled: "It's like..."

"It's like you guys knew from the very beginning that there wasn't what you wanted here."

Russell interrupted: "When you assassinated those directors, you even avoided Thoth's psychic power, and you didn't hurt any directors who belonged to Thoth's psychic power.

"Considering that the Tower of Babel can get the help of director Amirus...

"Thothling has something to do with the Tower of Babel."

"You should say that the Tower of Babel has something to do with the power of Thoth."

Bad Day corrected.

Russell raised his eyebrows: "Didn't the Tower of Babel exist during the Battle of Faith? And the power of Thoth was only established in the Sky Island Era."

"The Seven Giants did not appear until after the Sky Island Era began, but Thoth's spiritual energy is different."

Bad Sun shook his head: "Thoth's psychic power was born in the earth era. At that time they were called the Stargazers Alliance."

"... stargazing?"

Hearing this, Russell froze for a moment.

Bad Sun also smiled helplessly: "That's right. There are only a few stars, not as bright as the sun, and not as warm as the moon. I don't know what to see."

…and indeed.

The sky in this world is gray, and few stars can be seen at all. Naturally, there is no such thing as "astrology".

Russell pursed his lips.

He vaguely realized something.

"Didn't you ask me, where is the body of the Tower of Babel and what it looks like?"

Bad Ri smiled lightly, and pointed to the disc on Sun Island with his chin: "No. Did you see it?"

"...You mean, the Tower of Babel was once a disc?"

"In terms of appearance, they are almost the same. They are all such a golden disc.

"The deer head statue calls the Tower of Babel the 'Walking City Tower of Babel~www.readwn.com~ It can quietly adhere to the lower city of any floating city from below, and steal the energy of the floating city to Keep running. Don’t you think this situation is similar to the disk on Sun Island?”

Bad Ri smiled casually: "You don't even need to think about it, you know that this kind of technology is not available to ordinary people.

"And as you said... the Tower of Babel was built much earlier than Sky Island. When Sun Island's body was still a mage tower, there was no such thing as a first disc and a second disc.

"There is no doubt that the man who built these discs is the same man who built the Tower of Babel in the first place.

"He's supposed to be one of the directors of Thoth Psychic... I suspect it might be their chairman."

"Director?"

"Yes. Chairman Nitibas... an elf whose destiny is [Star]."

Bad Day slowly said a rather awkward name: "Ridiculous fate, isn't it."
