Chapter 898: Building the City (3)
Inside the mirror-like fragments floating in midair, majestic scenery consisting of bridges, pavilions, platforms, squares and greeneries were clearly shown before them. After witnessing them personally, Rhode finally felt how much pressure the spaces inside the shattered fragments faced, or perhaps he should say that he finally got a feel of how insane the Creator Dragon Souls were.
“Grandia…”
He eventually chose [Grandia].
Even though [Dinas] was strong in attacks, its demands were also higher. Although this magical city could operate on its own, he would be helpless if it required repairing and maintenance. According to Marlene, only Lapis was capable of repairing any issues with this city. Although Marlene could also train a group of Alchemists for the job, it would take at least a few months. Apart from them, the humanoids were also available for support. But there were less than a hundred of them at the moment. Besides, the humanoids couldn’t reproduce and were totally man-made products.
What made Rhode give up on [Dinas] was that his basic facilities were too bad.
It was like one driving a supersonic jet and transmigrating into ancient times. Even if he could control the supersonic jet to destroy a city, he couldn’t repair or maintain it without fuel or spare parts. The magical technologies in [Dinas] were so advanced that one couldn’t resolve any issues on the basic level. Even though the scene of ten Delusion Rainbow magic cannons bombarding battlefields was amazing and magnificent, Rhode had no choice but to give it up.
Right now, he was about to restore Grandia’s core urban area. According to the system introduction, this core urban area could accommodate 25,000 people, which was perfect. Currently, there were nearly 20,000 Order Refugees and the remaining 5000 empty slots could be filled up by his main members. [Grandia] had a total of nine subdivisions. He could still unlock the other subdivisions for more space in the future.
Rhode raised his right arm.
Out of a sudden, the fragments floating in midair spun and the ground beneath his feet trembled. The air around him turned foggy and even the grass and ocean in the distance became blurry. This was the sign of spaces fusing together. He gazed sternly at the system interface because the fusion of spaces was incredibly dangerous. The situation would be better if he were still in the Land of Chaos. After all, the only source of Order in a land full of Chaos would naturally attract all the fragments. But now, the fragments were fusing in a fixed space of Order. If the situation turned unfavorable, the entire place would completely crumble and Rhode’s group would be sucked into the turbulence of time and space.
Rhode gave a casual gesture with his hand.
“There are space barriers around so you won’t fall and you can’t even commit suicide by jumping down.” Rhode swept a glance at the system introduction. He had to admit that even though this city couldn’t fulfill his dreams of owning a city equipped with the most powerful magic cannons, this top-grade turtle shell was still wonderful. There were also similar floating cities in the Dragon Soul Continent such as the Mage Association’s magical fortress that soared in the northern wilderness. Besides, it wasn’t that he couldn’t build a similar floating city with the construction system. He could clearly do so as long as he had enough money to spend. However, the floating cities were different from [Grandia]. No matter how the cities were structured, they had to rely on massive amounts of energy to float in midair and if their core power generator were destroyed, the entire city would plunge to the surface.
However, [Grandia] was different. It used a fixed coordinate method to secure itself on the plane of existence and space. In other words, [Grandia] wasn’t ‘floating’ in midair, but was simply ‘existing’ right there instead, like a cloud that would forever be drifting in the sky and wouldn’t fall to the surface. [Grandia] had completely fused with the sky so as long as it wasn’t destroyed entirely, it wouldn’t crash to the surface. Not only that, but Rhode also discovered that the space barrier entirely stopped all teleportation spells. In other words, it was impossible for anyone to use teleportation spells to enter his city. Apart from entrances or exits which he appointed, other areas would be protected by the space barrier too. If his city were surrounded by enemies, no one could enter the city if he sealed up and fortified the entrances. Moreover, he also realized that the pure water source came from the water elemental plane of existence. Furthermore, there was also a subdivision dedicated to growing crops and livestocks. Therefore, even if the enemies adopted the siege strategy, unless they could keep it up for 50 to 60 years, it would be meaningless for them.
But come to think of it, with the complete obscuration with the plane of existence barrier, Rhode was curious as to who would be capable enough to bring damage to his city.
Of course, he was referring to anyone except for the Creator Dragon Souls.
“Alright then, let’s start the operations of this city.”
Rhode shrugged and said.
