3. Dinner

The back garden of the Duke of Mensa Manor is built on a cliff. The view here is very wide and you can see the full view of the northern waters of Ilinas City.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, looking down, several sea swallows shuttle back and forth on the cliffs. They build their nests under some raised stones, which can help them avoid the invasion of storms.

Below the cliff is a closed beach, with steep cliffs on both sides extending into the sea. If you want to enter this beach by land, you must cross this steep cliff.

There is no soft white sand on this beach. The Duke of Mensa built a huge military port pier here, and hundreds of five-masted sailboats and seven-masted sailboats quietly anchored in the port.

Duke Mensa used the mountains stretching into the sea and continued to extend into the sea. He built two giant seawalls with a length of more than ten kilometers. These two seawalls were like two arms of a mountain god, embracing the sea area that was more than ten square kilometers.

The seawall finally closed together in the sea, like two fists clenched together. There is a passage less than 200 meters wide between the two fists, which can ensure that the giant sailboats in the military port can enter and exit freely. There are sentries and forts built on the two fists, and there is a black magic cannon at the top of the sentry.

If you don’t look down from the cliff, it is difficult to see the secrets in the military port, because this section of the coastline is completely wrapped by a seawall, and it is impossible for fishing boats to see the scenery inside the seawall on the sea.

Unless it is a bird flying in the sky, no one can know how many large sailboats are moored in this military port.

The waiter stood in the elevator and waited quietly. I pulled Ying Li to climb the elevator built on the cliff outside the cliff.

The entire elevator is spliced ​​with oak wood squares. All the joints are closely connected by rivets, and a thick layer of raw paint is applied to the surface of the oak. The construction style is very rough. Through the wooden fence of the lifting bin, you can clearly see the huge rope slowly rolling on the pulleys, and we descend little by little from the high cliff mountain.

"Crack...Crack..."

There was a dry friction sound from the elevator, which felt that the pulley set had not been lubricated for many years, which made me a little worried whether the elevator would fall directly from the top of the cliff during the lifting process.

However, from the waiter's eyes, it could be seen that the elevator was normal to operate. He looked at the sea in the distance with a calm expression, without any emotional fluctuations, which made my heart feel a little more stable.

Finally, it landed smoothly, walked out of the lifting chamber, and the heart hanging in the throat fell back to its original place.

The waiter took us out of the elevator. At this time, I saw the power part of the elevator. There was a huge winch at the bottom of the cliff. Thirteen bison covered with green scales were tied to a huge millstone, constantly pushing the millstone to rotate, driving the elevator to make the up and down movement.

Unexpectedly, on such a huge military port wharf was built on such a coastline surrounded by mountains. The coastline had been completely built into a deep-water port with huge stones. The beach stones were paved with flat ground, and a military camp was built on the left, and a material warehouse was built on the other side.

Only after seeing such a huge fleet did I clearly realize that this should be the foundation of the Mensa family's foothold in Emerald Bay.

We walked out of the elevator and were not investigated, which was very different from the North Wind Legion.

I remember when I entered the North Wind Legion's Knights' Territory in the Airport Town, even under the leadership of the Knight Commander, we were still inspected by the guards. Obviously, this military port is far more important than that kind of temporary station, but the guards turned a blind eye to us.

Through the very flat square and walking along the dock, a huge teleportation array appeared in my sight. It turned out to be a hexagram-shaped building built of stones. The gaps on the walls revealed the color of magic metal. The complex patterns of the gaps formed a huge magic array. The rich magic aura leaked from the teleportation array. The magic elements spread into the surrounding air and evaporated in the air in an instant.

Sure enough, there were some problems with this portal.

It seems that there is an abnormal situation of mana spillover during operation, which may lead to insufficient mana endurance during transmission, resulting in extremely unstable portals. Such a portal has great danger during transmission and can easily make people lose themselves in space cracks.

This teleportation array is very unique. It is half built on the port dock and half built in the sea.

The teleportation array is built very magnificently. Although the magic light curtain on the portal on the dock is a bit distorted, it can be vaguely imagined what it looks like when it is operating normally, as if it is a giant city gate ten meters high. I guess even a large catapult can easily pass through this portal smoothly.

"This teleportation array of Mensa's family is built so grandly!" Helena stood behind Ying Li and said with emotion.

"A portal like this is probably a lot of magic crystals to maintain operation!" Bei Ji looked up at the teleportation array with shock.

Ying Li, who was standing beside me, did not walk directly towards the teleportation array, but circled around the teleportation array. She stood beside the guardrail on the dock and looked into the sea, her eyes full of surprise: "Come on, come and see, this is a double-sided teleportation array, and there is a portal on this side of the sea!"

I walked over curiously, stood beside Ying Li, slanting my body towards the sea, and indeed saw that the portal on the other side of the teleportation array was actually built in the sea.

"Why did Duke Mensa build the portal in the sea?" Helena asked with her beautiful big eyes, staring at the portal in the sea.

"Is this a question necessary? Of course it's because of those warships." Becky reached out to hold his green algae-colored curly hair that was blown by the sea breeze, and tied it up casually, revealing a piece of snow-white neck.

At this time, Noah ran out of the teleportation array and shouted from afar: "Hey, Jijia, you guys are back so early? I thought you would come after noon!"

The young waiter trotted all the way and followed Noah, which seemed to be Noah he had run to inform him.

I briefly told Noah about what happened in the morning. Noah shrugged slightly, leaned against the stone pillars by the dock, and told me his half-brother, saying: "The boy Jacques is still a little talented. He has an extraordinary understanding of astrology and navigation, but he is a little brave. After graduating from Junior Warrior Academy, his father originally planned to let him train in Galapagos City in Vaschi for a few years and become a captain."

He spread his hands and pointed to the three-masted sailboats and said, "Those ships, if Jacques could hold on, he might become the first captain of our generation, and the youngest captain."

Then, he showed a slightly regretful expression and said, "I didn't expect that the plane war broke out and Vasqi was also affected. He was so scared that he ran back to Ilinas from Galapagos City overnight. This incident made his father very angry. It was not easy to get an opportunity. He was wasted in vain by him. It is said that after returning to Ilinas City, he became very decadent."

Noah said: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, but I didn't expect that I would get addicted to gambling this time."

Noah seemed a little regretful and continued to say to me: "To be honest, although the Mensa family is the administrator of the province of Palestina, in order to maintain other nobles, even Louis and I cannot ignore those laws and regulations. We must follow the rules for many things."

The power in each province seems to be not so stable, and it seems that the Mensa family is the same.

Noah rubbed his forehead gently and said to me, "Oh, according to Louis, there should be some things we should do to be more lawful than other nobles, because those rules were set by us, and of course we should maintain them as much as possible."

Louis is a very ambitious man. He wants to establish a sense of awe of the law in the hearts of the Palestinians. He has indeed some leadership style!

I said, "But, this matter involves the Black Magic Secretariat. Will it be a little troublesome?"

Noah patted his head in pain and said, "Well, it seems that the people of the Black Magic Secretariat are planning to penetrate into the family. The breakthrough point they found is Jacques. It seems that they know the members of the family very well."

He turned to me and said, "The Magic Guild may not necessarily buy our family's accounts, and it is difficult for those magicians to deal with."

Then he added: "Harry is afraid that he will be in trouble. He is taken away by the Magic Guild Corps and it will be difficult to have good results."

I looked at the sea water at my feet, like a piece of green jade, and it was bottomless. I think the name of the Emerald Bay was named because of the color of the sea water.

I think even if Harry passed the Magic Guild level, I'm afraid the Mensa family wouldn't let him go easily.

"That guy is probably just a periphery member of the Black Magic Secretariat." I said.

Ying Li, Helena and Becky walked along the pier, admiring the sailboats on the dock. When the three of them stood below the sailboats from afar, I truly felt how huge those sailboats were.

Noah asked me curiously: "Gija, do you say 'Devil' is really that powerful that can corrupt a person's soul?"

I thought about it and asked him with a smile: "It's almost the same, do you want to give it a try and feel it? Although that thing is very rare and not common on the market, I still have channels to get some."

Noah immediately shook his head like a rattle: "Forget it, I don't have that strong curiosity. But if I give me the 'magic catalytic' potion, I can barely consider it."

We sat on the dock together and watched the quiet Emerald Bay.

After a while, Noah said again, "Oh, by the way, you must have never thought of who I met today!"

He didn't want me to guess, and he just said the answer: "Senior Dylan."

I stared at Noah with a blank look on my face, not knowing who this senior Dylan is.

Noah stared at me with wide eyes and asked, "Dylan Hearstre! Oh, don't you know him?"

I turned my head and asked him, "Why, is he very famous?"

Noah said: "Of course, at least within our academy, he is also a celebrity!"

I said in confusion: "Why haven't I heard of it?"

Noah rolled her eyes upward and said, "Do you just don't pay attention to the Starry Sky Society at all?"

I thought about it carefully and I really didn't pay much attention to the information of Starry Sky Society.

So I said, "I knew this club was very mysterious. Why... Oh, don't tell me that Dylan Hurstre is a member of our college Starry Sky Society. Where did you see him?"

When Noah saw me asking the idea, he said the answer that he had been holding in his heart for a long time: "It's here!"

He asked me again: "Is that a coincidence?"

Without waiting for my answer, he said again: "I just learned that Senior Dylan was invited by my father to help us maintain some of this magic teleportation array."

After saying that, he rubbed his hands and said to me: "Let's go, I'll take you to see him!"

I waved to Ying Li in the distance and signaled to her that I would go to the teleportation array to take a look.

Obviously, Ying Li was not that strongly curious. She was more willing to stand on the dock and blew the sea breeze than watching the teleportation array.

So I just waved at me and didn't come over.

The teleportation array is the central system of the portal. The most important magic pattern array is set in the center of the teleportation array, and it is also the place where magic crystal stones are placed. I followed Noah into the teleportation array and saw countless magic rune boards covered with the walls. The huge stone chamber looks like a maze, and the runes on the wall are all content I can't understand.

Not far away along the maze corridor, you will enter a room where a magic pedestal is placed in the center of this room with a magic crystal embedded on it.

Noah told me that there are twenty-seven magic pedestals in the entire teleportation array. If you want to open the teleportation array, all of these twenty-seven magic pedestals need to be opened.

Noah took me and continued walking inside. The rooms were not far apart. When we walked to the seventh room, we saw a magician wearing a magic robe squatting on the ground, holding a bottle of metal solution in his hand, carefully pouring into the cracks of the rocks on the ground.

Magical red copper was originally poured into the cracks of the rocks. These magical red coppers formed countless runes, but some areas were worn and needed to be repaired. This is also considered some fine work.

The metal liquid flowed into the cracks of the rocks, and immediately formed a new coating on the surface of the magic red copper. After a few seconds, the circulation of mana on these runes became much smoother.
