However, in addition to the shock of seeing Blackstone Fortress for the first time, what Soshiyan cares most now is the unique sense of attention, so he whispered to Veronica.
"Did you feel it?"
"Yeah, I feel it."
“What is it?”
"The soul of the world... no, it is more cruel and aggressive. Is this the will to war recorded in the classics?"
“More specific?”
"It is said that it is a spiritual entity used to control giant war weapons created by the ancient empire imitating Kane's violent thought. It is somewhat similar to the world spirit of the virgin world, and can make a huge war machine operate like a living creature without requiring a large number of people to operate it. Simply put, it is artificial intelligence in human cognition, but it is more... powerful and controllable."
Veronica then turned to Patricia.
"Have you ever communicated with the will to war?"
Patricia shook her head.
"Although activated, it did not communicate with us, but it communicated with Taal Anlek."
"Tar Anrek? Is that the will of the Nether Light Butterfly?"
"Yes, Tar Anlek once told us that Sefiri War Crown thought we were waiting for death and called us the weak."
By this time they had already walked through the flight path and entered a corridor.
Paintings were hung high on the walls on both sides of the corridor and covered with antique armor, making everyone look like they were moving in a silent crowd.
At the end of the corridor is an octagonal hall, which corresponds to the outline of the Black Stone Fortress, with a passage on each side, and the main decoration colors of its arches are different, including sapphire, amethyst, emerald, amber, crystal, violet and onyx. Soshiyan does not understand the art of the Spirit, so he does not understand the purpose of such design.
Veronica explained to him that in Ada's understanding, people who are troubled by different emotions will move from one place to another until they find the place where they feel the most in line with their inner emotions.
And the color represents mood. Those who are addicted to introspection will tend to sapphire color, be creatively attracted to the amethyst side, and walk towards the jade side with vitality...
But all channels can actually go to one place.
Soshiyan still doesn't understand what kind of thought is the idea of ​​doing this kind of mood design inside a space fortress. This is probably also the manifestation of the exaggerated side of the Ada Empire in the past.
However, they did not choose any passage. Instead, this huge octagonal hall began to rise slowly. During this process, Soshiyang saw many buildings of different shapes outside through the translucent walls. They looked like carefully blown glass, protruding inward in the shiny light between pearlescent light.
Between them, or the center of the entire Blackstone Fortress, is a huge space with a height of more than hundreds of kilometers.
The top and bottom of this space are invisible, the ceiling and floor disappear into the shadows, with only a huge black column standing in it, like a pitch-black and divine twisted tree trunk, radiating hundreds of bridges, stairs, platforms, arches, and countless dark portals leading to the heart of the Black Stone Fortress.
At the same time, in the center of the column, several huge crystals of pearls are inlaid. The entire column is covered with glowing gems and petals, reflecting countless spots of light, making it look twinkling, and the bronze, crimson, and gold intertwined.
In addition, Soshiyang vaguely saw something else in the brilliance.
It looked like a living creature, but did not have too many life characteristics. Suddenly, a group of such things passed by the edge of the moving octagonal hall, and Soshiyang finally saw their appearance clearly.
They have huge spindle-shaped heads, a huge one-eye embedded on the smooth metal-like exoskeleton, and a very small side eye next to them, both of which are rose-like red. Below the head is a slender body, connected to three slender and sharp lower limbs.
These unique structures are big and small, with unique bulges on the heads of the large. In addition to three lower limbs, the slender body also has two short arms.
They swim by the gorgeous spots like fish, occasionally churning and gathering, as if they were aquatic animals in beautiful coral reefs, but Soshiyan felt that they were not creatures.
“These are Val elves.”
Veronica gave Soshyan a "popular science" at the right time.
"They are helpers of various instruments and war machines for Val Priests. They are much more efficient than bone croakers. They can create a liquid spirit bone to repair damaged areas. However, this requires spells and commands of Val Priests. When there is no Val Priest, they can only perform simple physical repairs and temporary guarding work. After all Val shrines are extinguished, this elves become extinct. I didn't expect to see them here... They are a spirit bone structure, strictly speaking, not a creature."
After a few minutes, the octagonal hall stopped, then an arch opened and everyone walked out.
It was a spacious passage, and the huge entrance seemed to be made for some kind of behemoth. Walking through the passage, everyone came to a suspended bridge, linking the central pillars and other areas of the fortress, which were wide enough for the Imperial Titans to pass through the heads of Val elves from time to time.
As everyone approached the huge cylinder, the sound of the horn full of metal texture suddenly shook. Although a team of slightly loose Elves soldiers walked out of the cylinder gate, they were wearing unique and quite heavy armor. Under the golden-edged white burqa, scale-shaped metal could be vaguely seen, decorated with signs and symbols that Soshiyang could not recognize. Each soldier was equipped with a unique forked spear and a shield that looked half a human tall, and the white shield was engraved with a huge symbol of a black and white Yin-Yang fish.
Shield, this is the first time Soshiyan has seen such an armed force among the elves. Almost all the armed forces of the elves tend to be guerrilla and lighter. Shield, the equipment used only in frontal warfare, almost disappeared from their armory.
