Chapter 753 - We’d Like You to Stay Out of It. (2/2)

“Holy sh*t, what the hell is this?”

“A new continent?”

“It’s an illusion, right? It’s an illusion. How can something this big defy the laws of physics and fly into the air!”

“Based on this distance, and based on its comparison with the size of the distant palace, this airborne island is about the size of one-fifth of downtown Shanghai.”

“Impossible, Shanghai is very large, even one-fifth is ridiculous enough.”

“I reckon it’s a bit bigger.”

“This thing is the floating city that Roland created?”

“I got into a Lamborghini yesterday and now it instantly lost its charm.”

“The luxury yacht that I parked at the outfall of Shanghai’s beach doesn’t look so cool anymore, either.”

“My family’s Air Force One also doesn’t look so cool anymore.”

“Is that Trump upstairs?”

“Wake up, it’s Biden’s age now.”

“This is a super strategic-level aircraft carrier.”

“Bullsh*t aircraft carrier. This is a floating city that can be built into a city in the future. With a large number of raw materials and arsenal arranged on it, it’s ready to transform into a massive interstellar ship with theoretically unlimited ammunition. I am a member of the magic world. I heard that floating cities can fly into the Astral Plane; comparing an aircraft carrier to it is an insult.”

People in the world knew little about the floating city, just that there had been such a thing in the legends of the magic world.

It was said to be the work of Mordenkainen.

So more often than not, they treated it as a legend.

After all, how much of a stretch was it to float a mega-city into the air?

Mages had enough trouble even flying on their own. Creating a floating city that could fly around didn’t sound possible.

It was possible!

The image in front of them was the answer and said it all.

“I guess no one can rival Roland now.”

“This thing is probably a special group-type equipment, the kind that requires many people to create?”

“If it’s a group collaboration, we can only say that Roland’s forces are strong, not so much that he himself is strong… although he is indeed strong.” “Didn’t you guys read the system message? Demigod state! This thing can enhance the master’s strength.’

“F**k, so it seems to be true.”

“This is considered external equipment?”

“A Legend with this externalized thing is a Demigod. When Roland is Demigod and equips this thing again, won’t he become a true god?” “I don’t think it’s fair. How come Roland can do something like this and the other Mages can’t even master flying spells properly. This game is so unfair.”

“What’s all this talk about fairness in a realistic world.”

“Well, at least leave some gaming experience.”

“With your identity switched with the natives, no infinite respawn, no high attribute growth panel, and no system boost, I think you must have a great game experience.”

There was a lot of chatter in the livestream and a lot of hot posts on the forum.

All of them were discussing what kind of impact Roland’s floating city would have on the entire game, the entire game world, and what kind of layouts it would change.

The person in question, however, was not thinking much at this point.

He floated down from the air and flew up again, holding Stephanie in his arms.

Standing on the soft grass, looking out over the vast expanse of greenery and trees, and then at the sea of floating clouds farther away, Stephanie opened her arms and spun her body in a circle, smiling happily.

“You’re that happy?”

A familiar voice sounded as Andonara came out of a small grove off to the side, a few blue flowers in her hands.

“It’s been a long time, Anna.”

Stephanie wasn’t at all surprised by Andonara’s presence.

She was well aware that she was, at best, third in Roland’s mind.

There was nothing but grass and trees on the floating city now, which meant the thing was newly built, and the fact that Roland was willing to bring her up meant there was enough of her in his mind.

Besides Roland, the first guest of the floating city was definitely Andonara; there was no possibility that it was someone else.

“It has indeed been a long time.” Andona walked over and hugged Stephanie. “I think we’ll be seeing a lot of each other in the future.”

Then Stephanie looked at Roland. “So, there is a house for me here, right?” “We will live together in the future,” Roland said lightly.

Stephanie smiled even more happily.

“Also, I need your help.” Roland gestured around. “As you can see, there’s nothing here and it’s too empty, so I need a lot of help building the houses, doing the planning, and handling the basic daily maintenance.”

“How many men are needed?”

“Not quite sure, I’m just telling you now. Wait for me to get an expert to plan a layout.”

“No problem…” Stephanie looked at Roland and said, “Can you set up a direct teleportation magic array between the floating city and my chambers? I want to be able to come and go in the floating city whenever I want.”

“Sure.” Roland agreed with a nod. “I’ll have it ready in no time.”

“Won’t you and Anna both stay as guests for a few days?” Stephanie said with a yearning smile.

“Stay for one day only.” Roland held out a finger.

A day later, the floating city moved, first flying into the clouds and disappearing from the view of the masses of Fareins, and then spending most of the day flying from Fareins directly over to the skies of the Wetland City of Hollevin.

It wasn’t directly overhead but parked in midair outside the city on the north side.

There was a brief commotion in Wetland City city as the huge irregular body of rock of the floating city tore through the clouds and appeared to everyone in Wetland City.

The first to react was the players. After all, many of them had already seen what the floating city looked like in the videos on the forums and in the livestreams.

Then their calmness infected the natives as well.

Wearing a beautiful dress, the Winterwolf Holy Lady sat on the city wall, her feet hanging high in the air, gently alternating kicks while humming a nice little tune under her breath.

Roland teleported down from the floating city and went straight to the players’ Association of Mages, then found O’Neal who was staring enviously at the floating city from the balcony.

“Getting further and further away from you,” O’Neal said so directly without turning around when he heard the footsteps.

“You should be able to build a floating city of your own later, too.”

“How can I build a floating city if I don’t even know what the core materials are?” said O’Neill, looking at Roland. “Would you like to tell us?”

Roland didn’t continue the topic, but asked, “You contacted me about an urgent meeting, what is it?”

O’Neal sighed slightly, then he said, “It’s about god-slaying. We’d like you to stay out of it.”
