Chapter 65 The Lost City
It is of course impossible to move a house as big as this directly.
Hua Mi probably uses the same magic settings as the Magic Box, which allows it to be shrunk and portable.
But this house is obviously much more advanced than the magic box.
"Speaking of carrying the house with you, are you a snail?"
Hua Mi thought again, maybe she could help improve the magic box.
The current magic box is somewhat inconvenient. If you want the bees to come out, you have to find a place to unfold it first.
However, the master has got the corner fans he wanted, and he now has no trading chips.
Given her status, if you want her to help, you may have to find a way to have a good relationship with her first.
Hua Mi got permission from the owner of the house to enter the house.
The interior style and appearance of the building are extremely unified, with white gold as the main color, bright and lively style, and simple yet exquisite layout.
"It is both practical and beautiful, and it is perfectly integrated. It is worthy of being a master."
Hua Mi sighed all the way to the study room on the second floor, pushed the door open, and saw a sudden change in the painting style.
Many books.
Compared with the outside, the study room is much simpler.
The only feature is that there are many books.
There are many books on the bookshelves on both sides.
But there were more piled on the floor.
Those who didn't know thought this was the residence of some old scholar.
In addition to books, there are also various strange tools on the table.
Although there are many things, they are all organized in an orderly manner so they don't look cluttered.
The owner of the house, Alais, was wearing a snow-white dress, standing barefoot in the middle of the study, reaching out to Hua Mi and Xiaolu at the door: "Welcome, my guests." Hua Mi saw politeness on her face at the same
time and arrogance.
It's like a welcome, but also like giving alms.
I always feel that the elves are a pretty naughty race.
"It's so beautiful. I like your house!" Xiao Lufei stepped forward, holding his face in his hands and praising her without hesitation: "You really have good taste!" "Thank you." Alais had obviously heard this
before
. I rarely make comments like this, and I am already immune to such compliments to a certain extent, so I don’t have any reaction, I just reply politely.
"It would be great if we were lucky enough to ask you to design a house for us."
Xiao Lu seemed to be disappointed with her cold response, so she continued to boast in different ways.
Hua Mi thought to herself, it's not easy to arrange for you little guys.
Buy them a Barbie-like villa later and move in directly. It will be no worse than the craftsmanship of the elf master.
Alais said a few words, then his eyes fell on Hua Mi at the door.
It looks like we are about to get down to business.
Hua Mi walked a few steps inside and looked at the bookshelves on both sides.
After a quick glance, most of the books on the spines were filled with incomprehensible words, probably in Elvish language. I also saw a few books written in common human languages.
It can be seen that this master architect has a wide range of interests.
"These books..."
"Have you heard of the Lost City?"
They both spoke at the same time.
But Ales spoke faster.
She seemed to have no intention of making small talk and got straight to the point.
Hua Mi was choked and recalled a little bit.
The Lost City...
This place name didn't seem to be mentioned in the alchemy notes, so he shook his head.
"That was a city built by Huonu more than a thousand years ago. It added a lot of color to the history of architecture."
Alais said and looked aside. There was a drawing hanging on the wall, which showed some spire buildings. Design drawings, but they all look like unfinished sketches.
"Huonu is a natural master of crafts and architecture. The Lost City represented the highest architectural craftsmanship at that time. Unfortunately, it fell during the second abyss invasion and was lost in the gaps in the plane..." Now we can only pass through some documents
. Scattered records give a glimpse of that legendary city, but it is ultimately difficult to reproduce. Finding the lost city is every architect's dream.
"You found it? " "
Hua Mi knew that she would not mention this matter for no reason.
Since she mentioned it, it must be because she found a way to get to the Lost City, and at least she had relevant clues. "That's right. "
Alais nodded, with a rare smile on his face:
"I have been searching for hundreds of years, and finally found the path to the Lost City. "
It seems that the master is at least several hundred years old.
Although I know that elves live much longer than humans, it still feels very inconsistent with her Lolita appearance.
Although the body has become smaller, the mind is still flexible and omnipotent. The architect has only one pursuit:
the lost city.
Hua Mi really can't imagine any way to enter that city.
This is beyond the scope of his earthly knowledge.
According to Alais, the lost city is in During the second abyss invasion war, he fell into the gap between planes.
It was between planes.
It was not between two mountains, nor between two rivers.
He could still understand the meaning of planes. .
To put it simply, the time and space where the earth is located and the time and space where the other world is located are two planes.
And what is it like between the two planes?
He can't imagine it.
How to get in?
It's even more confusing.
Bang -
Ah Les snapped his fingers.
A flame burst into flames in the fireplace behind the desk.
"Simply put, through fire.
"Through fire? " "
Hua Mi looked at the blazing flames and didn't understand what she meant.
Why do you want to burn yourself?
"The Huo slaves are a race with clear beliefs. They are born with super high affinity for the fire element and can sense The elemental plane of fire, and firmly believe that there is a god in the elemental plane of fire who guides them - the Fire Mother.
"To this end, they lit the 'fire' in the Lost City to maintain the connection with the Fire Mother.
"This inadvertently left a shortcut for us. To put it simply, it is to use the fire elemental plane as a transit station, avoid the twisted and unstable turbulence in the plane gaps, and directly enter the Lost City.
"This method has been proposed by scholars, but it has never attracted attention because it is too difficult to implement. But not long ago, I finally located the shortcut to the Lost City. Next, I only need to build a teleportation magic array and enter that Passage."
"..."
Although I didn't understand what she was talking about, I felt very dangerous.
However, Alais gave him the impression of being very stable and reliable, with enough wisdom, and he would not make any uncertain risky moves.
He suddenly had an idea and remembered something: "So, unicorn horn powder is used for..."
Alais nodded: "Well, everything is to go to the Lost City."
Hua Mi still didn't understand, she called herself What come for.
Is there really not enough horn powder?
This is actually easy to say, as long as the exchange of equal value continues.
But it didn't sound like her tone.
"You can't possibly want me to team up with her..."
"You know, I'm an architect and not good at fighting." Alais said calmly, "Although I long for the Lost City, I don't I plan to bet my life there. If there is an excellent alchemist accompanying me, this journey will be much easier." "...
"
This is really the case.
But how could Hua Mi agree?
This is like being on Earth, and Musk suddenly calls you and invites you to take a spaceship to Mars.
Would you agree?
This is nonsense.
"You have to know that our trip is just for inspection. It is purely an academic behavior and we will try to avoid all dangers. I will pay you a satisfactory reward, and, believe me, that city will benefit you a lot. This trip The journey will not disappoint you."
Alais did not give him any room to speak, and then said:
"There is no need to make a decision now, I have also invited another companion, and it will take about ten days to arrive. During this period, you can take a good look. Consider it."
"..."
Actually, Hua Mi was still a little confused.
"With your reputation, not to mention in other places, you will definitely be well received in the Emerald City. Why do you want to find me... a wild alchemist?" (
