Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1214

Chapter 1214 - Under the Sea (Part 4)

Lith had seen plenty of powerful arrays surrounding lost cities and he knew that they couldn’t emit such brilliance. The merfolk and Xoth had mentioned to the group the existence of a Forbidden Sun, but it would have been idiotic to waste its power to produce a light powerful enough to illuminate the seabed even from that distance.

A good mage would have focused its power so to guarantee the city protection and nurture the fields. Doing more would be pointless, wasting precious energy that could have been better employed to attack the barrier and further expand the city.

The source of light was Kolga itself. Tall buildings the size of a skyscr.a.p.er had been erected right behind the barrier and from most of their glass windows came multi-colored lights that were spread and refracted by the array, producing the dazzling glow that Lith’s group had seen from a distance.

"We can’t have you moving awkwardly inside Kolga or asking for directions." Each one of the Merfolk said to their respective passenger. "There is no such thing as tourists. One second of amazement would make you stick out like a sore thumb.

"We’ll give you a full tour of the city from the outside to let you study Kolga’s layout, to become familiar with what is supposed to be ordinary for the people you are impersonating and to point out to you the little that our previous scouts have learned during the past missions.

"If the sentinels spot you swimming with merfolk, your disguise will become pointless and the mission will fail before it even starts. We’ll keep ourselves at the fringes of the light ring so that we can see inside while they can’t see us, yet you should conceal yourself, just to be safe."

All the members of Lith’s group wore a Scalewalker armor so it took them but a thought to have their clothes turn back into a layer of dull metal that covered them from head to toe, making them look like small golems. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

Lith didn’t need Solus’s 360-degree vision to know that the girls were probably so shocked that they had forgotten how to breathe. He was sure of it because he felt the same way.

Kolga didn’t look like a medieval city, quite the contrary. Even Belius, the most modern city that Lith had ever visited in the Kingdom, looked primitive in comparison.

The buildings weren’t just as tall as skyscr.a.p.ers, they were skyscr.a.p.ers made of glass, rock, and metal. Each building was like a giant mirror, reflecting all light to the outside, making the city visible from far away.

Lith could see paved roads where people walked and what looked like neon signs and huge screens placed at the street level to inform the citizens about the latest events or advertise new establishment.

Lith counted a total of five concentric rings of buildings where people lived. Each ring was arranged so that it would spread rather than block the light coming from the sun in the middle of the city, illuminating the next line of buildings in a cascade effect.

People moved on foot to reach the nearby blocks and flying cars when they needed to reach the opposite side of the city.

’By my maker!’ Solus’s was so shocked that she forgot about Menadion being her Mom rather than her master. Ever since the dream about Valeron’s death, she had finally started to consider herself as a real person.

’Those are not carriages, wagons, or stagecoach. Those are really cars! Whoever made them, imbued them with a simple float spell to make them weightless and then used a system that generates small bursts of air magic to propel them in every direction.’
