Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 1208 - 323: Sunflower Dies Before Dawn (Part 2)
Once one is built, there will be one less. When the main anti-magic stone mining areas on the continent can no longer produce anti-magic stones in large quantities, even if some forces unlock the technology for building Floating Cities, it will inevitably lead to a harsh problem, which is that they will not even have the raw materials to construct Floating Cities.
In other words, these raw materials have become so expensive that ordinary forces simply cannot afford to consume them.
Of course, this issue is not as critical to other nations, because countries like the Yibel Federation, which were involved in the initial Floating City program, had the foresight to start a large-scale harvest of anti-magic stones, even from foreign and lawless areas, while other nations were still unaware.
Especially the Yibel faction, because Kael had communicated with the federation's upper management on this matter long ago.
The federation's upper management believed that this situation was indeed worth gambling on, so early on, the federation used the surplus funds that various forces could temporarily muster to collectively purchase a large quantity of anti-magic stones of varying quality.
As it has developed to this point, the situation has become entirely uncontrollable.
Setting aside the issue of whether a Floating City can be built, the scarcity of resources means that if they do not make some compromises, they will soon be left far behind by those countries that participated in the Floating City program early on.
This sparked a continent-wide trade conflict over buying and selling anti-magic stones, which remains unresolved to this day.
All of this originated years ago with the Magic Monarch who single-handedly established the Floating City and broke the gods' blockade.
Now, upon seeing the Titan Floating City, the Andigo Monarch's mind buzzed.
It's not that he was attacked; just seeing the Titan Floating City made him realize things were amiss.
Why?
According to current mainstream understanding, most people believe that the Titan Floating City, after being trapped in the Star Realm, was crippled by the Ether Spear used by Evil Gods, disrupting the Floating City's system constants and causing it to become stranded in the void, trapped in a space fissure for years.
In other words, the related technology and inherent nature of the Titan Floating City made it a god-slaying achievement, but technically, it should be slightly inferior to the Floating Cities established in the later era.
But upon seeing the Titan Floating City, the Andigo Monarch realized that the internal technology of Titan Floating City actually far surpassed those first-tier Floating Cities he had seen.
The feeling is as if they are the ones lagging behind the times, and the technology and development direction validated by the Titan Floating City represents the future of Floating Cities.
Because the first reaction people have to the Titan Floating City is indeed like this.
However, the current situation seems to have changed a bit.
"If I remember correctly, the images of Titan Floating City recorded in the Floating City Alliance seem quite different from the present Titan Floating City, don't they?"
Clearly, the Andigo Monarch is a very detail-oriented Mage, who immediately noticed the energy barrier flowing around the Titan Floating City and the size of the city itself.
He wore an expression as if he'd seen a ghost.
No mistake, definitely no mistake! The Titan Floating City did not stop functioning after its fall; on the contrary, it even expanded its land.
Damn, I've never heard of a Floating City that can, like a person, develop rapidly by consuming land to grow and strengthen itself.
Is this the legendary Titan Floating City? Is this the legendary Helois Monarch, whose wisdom in magic has reached the Divine Domain level?
It truly is... amazing!
He couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction, no doubt it's something the federation is proud of.
Speaking of which, after the world-shaking battle that year, some began recalling scenes from those days with a godlike perspective.
Some said that during the time when the Helois Monarch was active, people witnessed a series of tragedies unfolding, yet the stories from that time were all the more cherished for it.
So some said, "Though one might be verbally disgruntled, everyone loves to see the scoundrel die for loyalty, the conspirator die for loyalty, the thief die for devotion, the selfish die for sacrifice, the sunflower die before dawn, and the weeds die unnoticed by the wind."
Digging into the past, starting from the predecessors of the Helois Monarch, there was Anthony.D.Charles in the Royal Capital of the Duchy of Engyrance, known for his peerless charm, watching over each other with his pure Incubus wife, even relinquishing his honor and status within the Dawn Lord Church for it. This is the scoundrel's loyalty to fidelity.
Betraying the Yibel Federation, turning instead to sacred Briania, was the former Marquis Gransham, labeled a "madman with aspirations of treason" within smaller circles, who was ultimately confirmed by Caesar Governor to be the Federation's top intelligence officer, also the highest-ranking intelligence officer killed in war. This is the conspirator dying for loyalty.
The previous Clan Leader of the Charles family, Rezhe.D.Charles, carried the reputation of having usurped his brother Anthony's title; although his reputation improved in subsequent years, as the Helois Monarch grew, rumors of title theft resurfaced. Yet people were astounded to discover that Rezhe Earl, until being devoured by the Abyss Demon, relentlessly suppressed the expansion of the Abyss Gate, waiting for Helois' return. This is the thief dying for devotion.
Traditional old nobles, long deemed a modern federation blight, demonstrated to the world in battle with the Yibel Federation the so-called "surge of six generations' remaining might." The number of traditional nobles dying at the forefront of each battle reached an alarming level, leading even the newly ennobled to enter the battlefield, turning what was previously a despised noble faction along with the entire sacred Briania's war into a tragedy more poignant than Knights. People even proclaimed that, this, is the true nobility, the spirit of gold at times of exorbitance, spurring traditional nobles toward constant advancement. This is the selfish dying for sacrifice.
And after a long silence, the Lord of Dawn initiated the "Dawn Disaster" to divide and purge sacred Briania of Evil Gods, a typical case of the sunflower dying before dawn.
