A Beekeeper in a Magical World Chapter 65: The Lost City
Of course it is impossible to move directly to such a big house.
Hua Mi probably uses the same magic settings as the Magic Box, which allows it to be shrunk and easier to carry.
But this house is obviously much more advanced than the magic box.
"Speaking of carrying the house with you, is the master a snail?"
Hua Mi thought again that 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 obtained the corner fans he wanted, and now he 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 received permission from the owner of the house to enter the interior.
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, perfectly integrated, and he is worthy of being a master.”
Hua Mi sighed with emotion all the way to the study room on the second floor, pushed the door open, and saw a sudden change in the painting style before her eyes.
Many books.
Compared to 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 don’t know think this is the residence of some old scholar.
In addition to books, there are also various strange tools placed 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 and arrogance at the same time on her face.
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 a lot of similar comments and was immune to such compliments to a certain extent, so he didn't react at all and just replied politely.
"It would be great if we were lucky enough to have you design a house for us."
Xiao Lu seemed to be disappointed with her cold response, so she continued to praise her in different ways.
Hua Mi thought to herself, it’s not easy to arrange for you little guys.
I will buy them a Barbie-like villa later and move in directly. It is no worse than the craftsmanship of the elf master.
Ales responded with 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.
At a 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?"
The two spoke at the same time.
But Ales spoke faster.
She seemed to have no intention of chatting 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.
"It was a city built by Huo slaves more than a thousand years ago, which added a lot of color to the history of architecture."
Ales said and looked aside. There was a drawing hanging on the wall, which showed some architectural designs for the spire, but they all looked like unfinished sketches.
"Huo slaves are born masters 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...
"Today we can only get a glimpse of that legendary city through sporadic records in some documents, but it is difficult to reproduce it after all. Finding the lost city is every architect's dream."
"Did you find it?"
Hua Mi knew that she would not mention this matter for no reason.
Since this matter is mentioned, it must be because a way to get to the Lost City has been found, at least there are relevant clues.
"That's right."
Ales 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 inconsistent with her Lolita appearance.
Although his body has become smaller, his mind is still flexible. He is an omnipotent architect with 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 understanding as an earthling.
According to Alais, the Lost City fell into the gap between the planes during the Second Abyss Invasion War.
That's between planes.
Not between two mountains, nor between two rivers.
He can still understand the meaning of the plane.
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.
What is it like between the two planes?
He couldn't imagine it.
How to get in?
It's even more blinding.
Pa——
Alais snapped his fingers.
The fireplace behind the desk roared into flames.
"Simply put, through fire."
"Through fire?"
Hua Mi looked at the blazing flames and didn't understand what she meant.
What, you want to burn yourself?
"Huo slaves are a race with clear beliefs. They are born with a high affinity to the fire element, can perceive the fire element plane, and firmly believe that there is a **** in the fire element plane who guides them - Fire Mother.
“To this end, they lit ‘fire’ in the Lost City to maintain the connection with the Fire Mother.
"This inadvertently left us a shortcut. To put it simply, we use the fire elemental plane as a transit station to 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 circle. Enter that passage."
"..."
Although I don’t understand what she is saying, I feel 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..."
Ales nodded: "Well, everything is to go to the Lost City."
Hua Mi still doesn't understand why she called her here.
Is there really not enough horn powder?
This is actually easy to say, as long as we continue the equal exchange and it will be over.
But it doesn’t sound like her tone.
"You can't possibly want me to team up with her..."
"You know, I am an architect and not good at fighting." Alais said calmly, "Although I yearn for the Lost City, I don't intend to bet my life there. If there is an excellent alchemist With a warlock accompanying me, this journey will surely be much easier.”
"..."
That's true.
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 salary that satisfies you, and, believe me, that city will benefit you a lot. , this journey will not disappoint you."
Ales didn’t give him any room to speak, and then said:
"There is no need to make a decision now. I have also invited another companion. It will take about ten days to arrive. During this time, you can think about it carefully."
"..."
Actually, Hua Mi is 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?"
