Chapter 758 Encounter With a Dragon

When Roland returned to the floating city, he was quite dizzy.

It was not exactly discomfort, but more of the lightness in the head after too much ecstasy. His body was fine, but something was seriously wrong with his soul.

He sat on the temporary bench on a construction site and breathed heavily.

The consequences of the Divine Intercourse were still lingering.

After resting for another half hour, he finally managed to stabilize his soul with his Legendary mental power.

He shouldn’t have been so confident!

During the first Divine Intercourse, Mystra had clearly been easy on him. She was serious this time.

The soul of a true goddess wandered in his soul and filled it.

Nobody really entered anyone. It was a simple fusion where the two of them were combined.

Because the two souls separated after the fusion, the sense of shock was inevitable.

It wasn’t uncomfortable, but tireless in an enjoyable way.

During the Divine Intercourse, Roland saw a lot of flashbacks of the Goddess of Magic before she became a goddess, including those where she changed her clothes and showered!

Thinking of that, Roland quickly smacked his forehead to drive away the beautiful images for now. Then, he found an additional talent on the system menu. The talent, Divine Intercourse, had changed into Divine Fusion.

Divine Fusion: A goddess trusts you unconditionally without any reserve. She also makes up her mind to never give you any problems or betray you. She opens a channel for you in her soul. You receive unimaginable power by getting in and out of it. Your soul is harder and has inestimable internal changes.

She trusted him unconditionally without any reserve?

Roland was stunned.

Why did Mystra trust him so much?

Roland found it hard to believe.

He trusted the system’s judgment. Mystra trusted him so much and was even willing to share her soul with him, yet he refused to tell her the formula of the nuclear bomb and the way to build the floating city… Wasn’t it rather immoral?

Roland thought for a moment and found it hard to sort it through. He might as well put it off for now.

After that, he took out Mordenkainen’s journal from the system and read it carefully.

He set the floating city in the autopilot mode.

He had already set spatial coordinates in the capital of Fareins. He only needed to let the floating city fly that way.

Besides, the floating city was at such a high altitude that only special monsters and dragons could reach it. It wouldn’t hit anyone on the way.

Roland read the journal.

Roland had considered how to upgrade the floating city too.

After all, he couldn’t count entirely on Mordenkainen who had been dead for hundreds of years.

His understanding was that to upgrade the floating city, he would make a few more Magic Grid Cores and connect them, so that the magic power capacity of the floating city could be improved.

It was a simple yet effective approach.

After all, the city could conquer everything with enough power. All he needed to take care of was the problem that multiple Magic Grid Cores couldn’t work collaboratively.

However, Mordenkainen’s upgrade principle was different.

He planned to enliven, if not deify, the floating city.

It was mentioned in the journal that he intended to use the cores of the gods’ laws, or divinities, as energy, and then fuse it into the foundation of the floating city, so that the floating city would be given different features and upgraded.

At the end of the journal, he even proposed the idea to create a divine consciousness for the floating city.

In such a way, the floating city would be smart enough to deal with any accident even if he wasn’t on it.

Also, in a fierce battle, he and the city could fight independently, which would be quite awesome.

Roland had to admit that Mordenkainen was truly a genius Mage, and that his design was much better.

He could only pile up stats, yet that man was trying to build a smart floating city

The gap between them was too huge.

Roland was rather frustrated.

In fact, he was just being too hard on himself.

How long had it been since he started studying magic?

Mordenkainen studied magic for almost two hundred years and finally realized that he should deify the floating city before he died.

Roland, as a rookie whose foundation wasn’t solid enough yet, had become a Legend after only five years and even built a floating city.

If young Mordenkainen had seen Roland, he probably would’ve smashed his head into the Wall of the Faithless and killed himself out of embarrassment.

In his twenties, Mordenkainen was just a playboy who loved hanging around with different women despite his reputation as a genius.

Closing the journal, Roland heaved a sigh.

Both upgrade options had their merits.

Connecting multiple cores could provide more energy. Although it was simple, there probably would be qualitative changes when there was enough energy.

Turning the floating city into a divine creature was the more advanced way, but it was also more dangerous. After all, it required hunting gods. There were a lot of evil gods in the Astral Plane, and thirteen… no, fourteen Demon Gods in the Realm of Devils.

He could kill a couple of gods in the Astral Plane and melt their Divine Sparks into the floating city. Then, the floating city would probably evolve into a divine creature.

Beyond that, other methods might be required to awaken and intellectualize it.

After all, Mordenkainen had merely proposed the idea and never really implemented it before the Goddess of Light killed him.

When he was considering and the floating city was about to fly back to the capital of Fareins, Roland suddenly heard weird roars coming from outside.

He raised his head, only to see a gigantic silver dragon hovering around the floating city and roaring at him.

Was it trying to communicate with him?

Roland subconsciously cast Language Proficiency on himself. Then, the dragon roars changed.

“Esteemed Mr. Mage, can you let me land on your floating city? Please!”

The silver dragon’s smooth, beautiful scales glittered like stars under the sunlight.

It was a very powerful dragon. The silver dragon was a metal dragon, which meant that it was lawful and against the five-colored evil dragons.

A feature of the metal dragons was that the stronger they were, the more beautiful their scales would be.

A lawful dragon… Also, Roland was connected to the Magic Grid Core on his floating city. He might not be invincible, but anyone had to be capable of launching an attack that could destroy a mid-sized city in order to hurt him at this moment.

Roland waved his hand, and the floating city gradually paused and unfolded a transparent circle.
