Chapter 69 City of Brass
"Wuhu~"
With the arm drive, it really flies much more smoothly.
But when he first started practicing, Hua Mi didn't dare to fly too high.
Just move at a height of one or two meters above the ground.
I didn’t dare to do anything fancy.
"It doesn't feel like flying, but a bit like surfing..."
Maybe it's because it's flying too low and too slow.
Hua Mi flew around the trees in the forest for a while, and then the sun completely set.
It was getting late, but he wasn't done yet.
Touching the darkness, he tossed and turned in the air.
At this time, Qi Xiaozhi, who had just come out of the greenhouse, witnessed this scene.
"Wow, he's flying!"
"This human has finally learned to fly! But he's still very clumsy when flying."
"Are you okay? It doesn't look very stable..." "Ah, be careful
!"
Too much consumption led to lack of concentration. Being interrupted by them, the rhythm was instantly disrupted.
After dangling in the air for a few times, he rushed towards a big tree "without hesitation".
Bang -
"Hiss -" The seven little ones couldn't help but take a breath, as if they felt the same.
Didn't see it.
"You still need to practice constantly." Hua Mi lay on the ground with his arms pillowed on his head, looking up at the night sky. "At least you have to practice until you are as proficient as walking." As for whether the speed attribute of the giant
bee can be further improved, we have to wait for the results of the hybridization. Just found out.
In fact, it’s not too slow.
He conducted tests and concluded that the maximum speed of Megabee can reach about 10 meters per second under normal circumstances.
And when it is flying, it can almost match the speed of an adult trotting.
Of course, the sooner the better.
It's best to be able to reach the speed of Iron Man.
...
In this way, two days passed without incident.
The first batch of thunderbolt flowers have entered the honey flow period, and the little bees are busy.
Hua Mi is as always.
Taking care of the flower fields, training to control bees... everything is in order.
Before going to bed that night, Hua Mi read the alchemy notes as usual.
For this notebook, he used a combination of rough reading and careful reading.
First read it roughly to get a rough impression.
Then read it slowly and carefully from the beginning, and read it whenever you have time.
This notebook has a first-class hypnotic effect. In the past, he often fell asleep just reading it, and he often had some very strange and interesting dreams. It was a great bedtime reading.
But tonight, something caught his attention.
To be precise, it was one of the locations that caught his attention.
"City of Brass?"
The author wrote in the introduction about this place:
As an isolated city lost in the turbulence of the plane, it is quite well-preserved. Are the fire temples built by the little fire people really real? Not to mention the contact with the Mother of Fire, but it actually played a protective role...
Hua Mi immediately started extracting keywords in her brain.
"Lost", "Plane Turbulence", "Little Fire Man", "Fire"...
Could it be that the City of Brass mentioned here is the Lost City that Alais is going to?
The accuracy of this description was as high as 99.999%, so he couldn't help but believe it.
When Hua Mi did the first rough reading, most of the time he basically just looked at the name and passed the content at a glance, just skimming over.
Moreover, at that time, he had never heard of "fire slaves", "tinder", or "lost city". He had no such concepts in his mind, so he was not sensitive to them at all.
But now, he had the impression of these words in his mind.
So when I saw it again, I immediately thought of it. "Why, the author of this notebook has even been to the Lost City?"
Hua Mi felt more and more that the author of this notebook was not an ordinary person.
You know, the Lost City is a holy place that countless architects, historians, and archaeologists yearn for.
To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like Atlantis on Earth.
Alais also had difficulty locating the Lost City.
And according to her, it would cost a lot to open the passage to the Lost City and keep it from closing.
A channel like this connecting the planes cannot be opened under natural circumstances, because the turbulence between the planes causes the usual teleportation circle to fail here. The more magic power is input, the tighter the channel is, and the more Difficult to open.
To open a channel, a special substance needs to be added to the casting materials.
This material must have negative magic properties to isolate the impact of turbulent currents and form a stable path.
In layman's terms, it is equivalent to "supporting" the channel.
Substances with this kind of properties are officially called "strange things."
Unicorn horn powder is one of the ingredients Alais uses to make this strange object.
That's why she couldn't wait to get the unicorn horn powder after locating the location of the Lost City.
But how did the author of this note get there?
Hua Mi was not sleepy at all at this time, and the sleep-aiding effect of the Moon Sleeping Flower Honey was completely overshadowed by curiosity.
Cheer up and continue reading.
However, the author did not mention the method to get to the Lost City.
However, Hua Mi learned a lot of other information.
For example, the Lost City is not the remains of a civilization—its builders are not yet extinct.
The "little fire people" mentioned by the author are probably the fire slaves mentioned by Alais, and they still live in this ancient city.
The author also said that he received their "warm reception".
It can be seen from here that the Lost City is not a dangerous and wild place.
There is civilization.
The notes vaguely mention that because of the protection of fire, this city of brass can be preserved in the turbulence of the plane gap.
The author first gave a general introduction to this place like a preface, and then came the main text of the note, which records some of the alchemical materials produced here.
The first record is the kind of flower Alais mentioned.
The fire slaves call it the "Mother God's Gift" because they believe that this plant was given to them by the Fire Mother.
Mother Goddess's Gift is a specialty flower of the City of Brass, and it grows most vigorously in the area around the Fire Temple.
Affected by fire, this flower contains extremely rich and extremely pure fire elements. In addition, it also contains some very rare trace magic elements, making it an excellent alchemy material.
Next to it is a sketch of "The Gift of the Mother Goddess".
If he hadn't known it in advance, Hua Mi would have thought the painting was a ball of flame.
Some dotted lines were drawn next to the sketch, briefly introducing the various parts of the flower, including petals, receptacles, pedicels... as well as the strength of the magical elements contained in each part.
From a structural point of view, it basically conforms to the characteristics of nectar flowers. It is at least 90% likely that "Mother Goddess' Gift" is a cross-pollinated nectar plant.
"The honey brewed from this kind of flower containing rare magical elements will be of the highest quality..."
...
In addition to introducing the materials, the author also drew a map of the City of Brass, marking the areas and distribution of materials.
Basically, it is a city with the Fire Temple as the center and symmetrical distribution on both sides.
The name, purpose, precautions, etc. of each area are also clearly written.
It can be seen that the author is very fond of this place, and all kinds of information are recorded in great detail.
This is simply a copy guide.
Moreover, the author’s intention to visit often is expressed between the lines.
"Could the author of this notebook have gone to the City of Brass?"
Hua Mi once suspected that the skeleton at the bottom of the Witch's Eye Lake was the author of this alchemy notebook.
But I always felt that such a mysterious and powerful character would not die so hastily.
Moreover, the wooden house was very clean. Apart from this notebook and the semi-automatic alchemical cauldron, there was no trace of anyone living in it. Most likely they moved out preparedly.
"Judging from the records in the notes, there is not much danger in the City of Brass, and there is a strategy at hand..."
