At the top platform of the Кианта Pavilion, Фэн Юань looked at the pillars in awe. Due to the exhaustion of sky energy circulation, the top of Кианта Pavilion, which was supposed to supply energy to Chidu City, instead required energy support from Chidu City to maintain the entire defense mechanism.
Looking at those exquisite pillars, Dou Yanlan curiously said,
"Could it be these have undergone beautification to look like this?"
"What else? After the basic function is achieved, it needs to be made beautiful. Whether or not it consumes more resources, it is the hobby of the nobles from the Dynasty Era."
With one hand on the exquisite pillar, Фэн Юань said, due to important reasons, there were always people patrolling this place. If not for Фэн Юань’s identity, they would never have been allowed to come up here.
However, although a lot of beautification was done during the design phase, it’s still difficult to cover the visual impact of those devices. Plus, in the official eyes of Chidu City, the top of Кианта Pavilion is just a special facility. To ensure the equipment of Кианта Pavilion operates normally, they added a lot of mechanical creations here.
As Кианта Pavilion, primarily made of wood, can’t seamlessly integrate with those silver-white mechanical devices, but because the top of Кианта Pavilion is not open to the public, nobody really speaks about this.
"The last time I came to this height was when Old Wei was causing trouble. It’s a pity, if the sky energy circulation wasn’t overused that time, the Divine Land Region wouldn’t be in its current state."
Looking at the rolling clouds in the distance, Фэн Юань sighed. That time, to deal with those guys, he heavily drew on the energy from the sky energy circulation causing severe impact. He had initially considered that the earth energy circulation was still supporting, and since the sky energy circulation had less impact on the ground, this wouldn’t cause too much trouble.
Unfortunately, during the subsequent war, the earth energy circulation was affected too, which resulted in the extremely harsh conditions now facing the Divine Land Region.
"You can’t be blamed for that. Facing those things at that time, besides drawing on the sky energy circulation, I can’t think of any better solution,"
Agunas looked at Фэн Юань to comfort him. At that time, if it weren’t for Фэн Юань, probably a large group of Божественный зверьs and Eclipse would need to fight together to solve it, although it sacrificed the energy of the sky energy circulation, the result wasn’t bad.
"Alas, it’s a pity it’s like this now, who knows how many people are affected."
Walking to the edge and looking at the clouds below, Фэн Юань sighed. Kong Qing used his tail to stop Pomiti from approaching the edge since the top of Кианта Pavilion isn’t open to the public. While there is a circle of wooden railing, it’s merely to prevent adults from accidentally slipping down.
There are quite a few gaps in the railing, enough for Pomiti to slip through. As for Little Ice Cream running to Фэн Юань’s side? Nobody worried about it accidentally falling; after all, it can not only fly but also run freely in the air disregarding gravity.
"I didn’t expect there to be no wind here."
Looking around, Ци Чэнь marveled. Фэн Юань glanced at Ци Чэнь, smiled, and said,
"Who says there’s no wind? It’s just that there’s a barrier blocking it from blowing in. Although there are no clouds at this height, the wind isn’t insignificant."
"To maintain these defense mechanisms, they probably consume a lot of energy daily, right?"
With both hands on the railing, Фэн Юань looked at the rolling clouds below and said, Agunas landed on the pillar of the railing and said,
"Probably, but compared to the normal consumption of the city, it’s not particularly large. Besides, don’t humans now have methods to convert non-energy materials into energy?"
"What non-energy materials? The so-called lack of energy is just material that you all can’t use. The world’s energy is circulating, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many special domains, would there?"
Glancing at Agunas, Фэн Юань smiled and said. During energy conversion, some energy is inevitably unusable by all living beings in the real world. That’s when those weird domains come into play.
Everyone at the top of Кианта Pavilion watched the sunset completely set. As the lamps at the top of Кианта Pavilion gradually lit up, Фэн Юань said with some regret,
"I thought these lamps would be artistic lamps, but I didn’t expect them to be ordinary lighting lamps. It really ruins the atmosphere."
"It’s not a tourist spot, naturally they won’t consider the relatively high-priced artistic lamps. You kept saying to wait, you weren’t just wanting to see them light up, were you?"
Ци Чэнь glanced at Фэн Юань with some curiosity. Earlier, everyone asked if he wanted to visit the shops below, but he said he wanted to stay here a bit longer.
"Of course not. I wanted to see what Chidu City’s nightlife looks like from above."
Фэн Юань walked to the railing and looked at the pitch-black clouds with regret. Although he could choose to use the celestial ultimate move to forcibly dispel the dark clouds, without necessity, he didn’t want to. Frequent interference with celestial phenomena could easily lead to climate chaos, and with the sky energy circulation exhausted now, the recovery speed and ability of chaotic climate were severely weakened.
At this moment, the clouds below were slowly moving, and the lights at the top of Кианта Pavilion were like a solitary lighthouse in the sea, weak and small. After a while, as Фэн Юань realized these dark clouds wouldn’t dissipate shortly, he gently patted Xiao Ji and said,
"Let’s go, see what’s down there. By the way, do you think it’ll rain later? Should we buy an oil-paper umbrella?"
"Do normal people use oil-paper umbrellas on the street?"
Ци Чэнь glanced at Фэн Юань, speechless. If it were ancient times, it might be different, but in modern times, who would use something like that for rain?
"Hehe~ Change into ancient clothes, holding an oil-paper umbrella might be interesting~"
Scratching his head, Фэн Юань said, without continuing, even he found it strange.
As night fell and the Кианта Pavilion announced it would close for the day, the group left under the guidance of wooden lanterns. Upon stepping outside, they felt a cool breeze. Unsurprisingly, a light drizzle was falling outside. Before Фэн Юань could do anything, Agunas waved a claw, and a barrier sheltered everyone.
Rainwater dripped onto the spherical barrier and slid along the edge. Фэн Юань picked up Xiao Ji, looked up at Agunas. Xiao Ji chirped happily. Perhaps because of the rain, aside from those who had just come out of Кианта Pavilion, there weren’t many pedestrians on the streets.
"Judging by the situation, calling a cab might be tricky, well, would you mind~"
Noticing that those taxis quickly picked up guests leaving Кианта Pavilion, Фэн Юань said to Agunas. Though he could call Chen Hu to pick them up, it was late. Knowing the Special Duty Team’s situation, Фэн Юань naturally wouldn’t do that.
Agunas waved his tail and opened a space gate, saying,
"I can only open the space gate on a street near the Special Duty Team. There’s a spatial defense device at the Special Duty Team, the space gate can’t be opened directly there."
Of course, forcing it open is possible, but if they’re not careful...
"Let’s go~"
Holding Xiao Ji, Фэн Юань was the first to step into the space gate. Seeing the brightly lit Special Duty Team office building not far away, Фэн Юань sighed and said,
"Just as I guessed, huh, why can’t they bear to increase staff?"
"Eh?! Why are you here?"
Фэн Юань looked at Chen Hu in surprise. At this moment, Chen Hu was holding an umbrella with a bag seemingly containing a late-night snack. Seeing the space gate, Chen Hu said,
"Just passing by, saw a space gate here and came to check out the situation."
He did not scold them for opening space gates in the city center. After all, at this hour, calling a cab may not be as convenient as a space gate, and Agunas’ power was registered with them, naturally, it wouldn’t trigger alarms.
"I thought you would have rested by now."
Scratching his head, Фэн Юань chuckled. Chen Hu sighed and said,
"Overtime again, it can’t be helped. Those we caught today are backed by a large fencing organization. Once discovered, we must work overtime to handle it, or if they escape, it would be troublesome."
Compared to these illegal Духовный зверь catchers, the fencing organization behind them was more concerning. Smiling, Фэн Юань didn’t keep Chen Hu, watching him leave, Фэн Юань said softly,
"Aren’t you going to help them?"
