Chapter 213 Fragile Stephen Sang(1/2)
The aerobatics heading to the Aurora Land took a long time to slowly leave Stephenson's port.
This is probably because there are too many invited spell casters. Even if they line up in an orderly manner, the speed seemed very slow. Xu Nan observed that the decks of the three floating boats, including the Red Sun, were all over the place.
This kind of scene was common in Xu Nan's previous living environment, but considering that everyone was an elite caster, even a mage holy land like Stephen San, it would be difficult to do this except for a grand ceremony of the Aurora Tide.
Perhaps many magic organizations predicted the intensity of this cosmic vision in advance, and Stephen San was under pressure from many aspects and had to send invitations that were more than three times the number of previous years. Most of them were Stephen San's resident wizards, and there were also cooperative institutions like Paradise Lost that had close ties with Stephen San.
In any case, the intensity of this year's Aurora Tide is unquestionable, but the competition is also extremely fierce.
It takes about four to five hours to get to the Aurora Land. The main sources of error are wind and some other factors. In addition to a few anti-gravity components, Stephen San's floating boat basically has pure mechanical operations. Only in this way can it be avoided to be affected by abnormal factors at the edge of the world to the greatest extent.
Starting from here and moving northward, you are really close to the edge of the world.
This is also an important reason why Akai said that Stephen San is guarding the barrier to the north of the main material world. There are basically no natural reproductive civilizations north of Stephen San, and there are only exiled races.
Xu Nan stood on the deck and looked at the sky. At first, he felt as fresh as most wizards, and could not bear to see this beautiful scenery that could only be seen on the edge of the world. But it didn't take long to get used to seeing it. People are like this. No matter how beautiful things are, they often feel like that over time.
"If these three floating boats were killed and sunk, there was a forbidden area like the Sea of Curses, which had no return, maybe the major magical organizations in the main material world would directly enter the recession period..."
Xu Nan squeezed out from the edge of the crowded deck while complaining silently.
His joke is not just a complaint. If it really happens, it will probably be more serious.
After all, it is loaded with almost all the young elite spellcasters in the entire Prosper world.
Of course, Xu Nan could think of this, and the enemies of Stephenson and Stephenson could naturally think of it. I believe that in the dark of this grand ceremony, a war invisible smoke had begun. Where ordinary people could not realize it, there were often trembling fear and blood, just like when he accidentally brought a den of a thief legion some time ago, he indirectly saved Stephenson once.
The reason why this world is so beautiful is because she is saved by all kinds of people every day in various ways; and the creatures living in the world are good enough to be worthy of their rescue.
...
Xu Nan crossed the deck and arrived at the VIP room on the third floor. Jiang Yuanchi had been waiting for quite a long time here.
As one of the six apostles, she has the right to get on board first, and naturally has the qualification to have her own separate cabin on the crowded aerial boat.
After briefly explaining to the wizard in charge of the guard, Jiang Yuanchi led Xu Nan into the cabin to rest.
There were not many people in the VIP room. Along the way, Xu Nan noticed that the wizards here seemed to respect Senior Sister Jiang very much.
I'm afraid it's not just because of the six apostles.
Xu Nan recalled the attitude of others towards Akai and Emma, and seemed to be not as awe and fearful as Jiang Yuanchi. He thought about the eyes of the wizard who had just walked over and said hello to Senior Sister Jiang, and thought to himself: Could it be that Senior Sister Jiang's reputation as the best in Stephen Sang is also the best?
Otherwise, there is no need for these mages with similar strength to her to respect her so much, right?
Or maybe, she once saved Stephen Sand?
Xu Nan suddenly realized that he still knew nothing about the details of the fact that Senior Sister Jiang had been in Stephen San for a whole year before the official invasion of the Pro World.
He only got some indirect information from Roger's mouth: Jiang Yuanchi was said to have been accepted as a disciple by An Suli. Even if her strength was not enough to be qualified as one of the six apostles, she was also included in the list of one of the six apostles in advance, and on par with the other five powerful people with outstanding qualifications.
This is an incredible thing in itself.
You should know that although Stephen San is not a place that attaches great importance to the evaluation of seniority, qualifications are definitely a very important factor influencing; those who have made great contributions like Xu Nan were only awarded an honorary citizen medal secretly from the law enforcement team and the official.
"What kind of contribution did Senior Sister Jiang make?"
Xu Nan suddenly started to gossip deep in his heart.
However, what happened in Stephen San in the past year seemed to be the content that Jiang Yuanchi was most reluctant to mention, so Xu Nan couldn't directly mention it, so he could only sit here and talk about some things.
The main reason is that he is talking and Jiang Yuanchi is listening.
They ordered two cups of milk tea, but unfortunately they didn't have the same flavor as the several stores on the street near the school. I don't know what kind of awakening ingredients Stephen San's wizards added, but they actually smelled of inferior coffee.
“…It’s probably that.”
"I didn't expect that any person who reported it would be a thief."
Xu Nan took a sip of milk tea and couldn't help but complain.
He really didn't expect this thing. At that time, he only thought Thomas had a small problem, but he didn't expect it to be such a big problem; even more unexpectedly, the melon that was touched along the thief was actually related to the alchemy of God!
But for this part, he promised Akai and would not tell anyone.
It’s nothing to know about the thief as Jiang Yuanchi, but the matter between Helena and the little sun god is much more complicated; Xu Nan told Jiang Yuanchi that it doesn’t matter, but he is afraid of the troubles.
"Is the thief? There's still something like this?"
Jiang Yuanchi showed a look of surprise, and then she closed her hair and murmured to herself:
"It really happened?"
"Hmm?" Xu Nan was a little confused.
Jiang Yuanchi pursed his lips, his expression a little uneasy, and she sighed: "I mean, I didn't expect that a similar subversive crisis would occur again. Brother Yuba, you have definitely made great contributions this time!"
"I can guarantee that the reward given to you by the superior is definitely more than one medal, but there are more. It's just that guy Akai doesn't understand the tricks inside."
Xu Nan actually didn't care so much about rewards. What he was more interested in was the mystery in Jiang Yuanchi's words.
"What does it mean?" he asked.
Jiang Yuanchi did not hesitate this time and said readily:
"It just happened many times."
"In the past year, Stephen San has experienced many subversive crises. This level of crisis may destroy the entire city, so it is called subversive."
"Although I haven't experienced this personally, the terrifying species of Stealthy is definitely one of the most terrifying opponents."
Speaking of this, she suddenly threw a trick and turned a straw that made herself into a milk tea cup. She started sucking from time to time, while continuing in a vague voice:
"Aren't you all curious about what I did at Stephen San that year?"
Xu Nan immediately pricked up his ears.
Jiang Yuanchi bit the straw and said in a very indifferent tone:
"I'm saving the world in Stephenson."
Xu Nan was stunned. He didn't expect that the plot he guessed casually might be true.
Although Jiang Yuanchi looks like he is joking, after all, [The Fragile Stephen San] is an old joke that is talked about in this floating city opera house.
This old meme originated from Stephen San's unchanging opera content over the years. It is basically a script where Stephen San is facing a crisis, and the young wizard is ordered to turn the tide, and then not only saves the world, but also achieves the right result and even brings the beautiful woman back.
The audience is tired of watching it after watching it too much, and they always complain about why Stephen San is always in dire straits.
But as far as Xu Nan knows, this old joke actually has another meaning.
The city looks extremely powerful, but because of this, it becomes extremely fragile. He vaguely remembers that it was the evaluation that Luo Mang once gave. An Suli seemed to be present at that time. As Stephen San's owner, she did not object.
However, he was still a little confused about Jiang Yuanchi's words.
"A year?" he asked.
"That's right, a whole year." She suddenly bit the straw seriously. Xu Nan noticed that the milk tea in her cup had been sucked dry by her: "That's why they respect me so much. Ms. An Suli awarded me the title of Six Apostles, and I was able to win the title of [Daughter of the Floating City]... Of course, there are many other conveniences."
Xu Nan was a little envious: "To be honest, I saved Stephen Sand... Is it half a time?"
Jiang Yuanchi continued to toss the straw: "Is that so? But I..."
"I saved it a hundred and eighty times?"
"I can't remember the specific number. I was so tired that year. Every day, I went to the storm and rain. There was either a problem here or there. But there was no one who could do this kind of task except me!"
She couldn't help but complain, "I was so tired. When I was a savior at first, I felt quite accomplished; but later on, I was only responsible and too tired..."
Xu Nan looked at her with a suspicious look.
He still believed that Stephen San had saved him once or twice. After all, Stephen San was so fragile, and Xu Nan could save him once and half, but it would be too nonsense to say it a hundred and eighty times? What happened to the fact that there were so many wizards in this floating city that needed an earthling to save him?
"Hmm? Earthlings?" Xu Nan suddenly realized something.
Perhaps, this identity is the key. After all, Jiang Yuanchi mistakenly joined Stephen San. At that time, Stephen San was probably the only one who was the earthling. If there was something that Stephen San could not do, or even a wizard could not do, then entrusting Jiang Yuanchi to do it could be explained.
"What job is it mainly about?"
Xu Nan was a little skeptical.
Jiang Yuanchi thought for a while: "There is too much content, so it's not convenient for me to say it."
"Let me tell you the same thing. One of the tasks is related to strong light, and I have to do it, and I can't wear protective facilities... After the matter is over, my eyes became myopia."
"You know, before entering Stephenson, I didn't have such a serious degree of myopia..."
Xu Nan touched his nose: "How many degrees will it be then?"
Jiang Yuanchi bit the straw uncertainly:
"It's over seven hundred degrees?"
"Seven hundred and fifteen."
Xu Nan had a dark face: "Just add fifty degrees? I think you are deliberately making random stories and lying to me, right?"
Jiang Yuanchi was a little surprised: "Did you see it?"
"But I'm not lying to you."
"I'm just lying to your milk tea."
After saying that, she took another sip.
