Act 359: The Tower and the Sea of Fire
How did the fire that burned everything fifty years ago happen?
Fang Yu's eyes stayed between the archway on the stairs, as if behind the closed pine door did not lead to a hall, but the truth behind a lost fog of history.
Under the gate, the people of the association had finished speaking and replaced it with a person who was said to be a local alchemy family. He was a descendant of a well-known alchemist in Selva's history. Their ancestors once guarded the tower here, and since then, people have also guarded the land here for generations.
Such behavior naturally won the respect of the family in the imperial alchemy world, and also gave his descendants this honor, allowing them to open the tower for geniuses from all over the world.
That was just a corner of the empire's thousand-year history.
The heavy traditions that have been deposited in it were completed by many such alchemist families and legendary individuals.
The people of that family conducted an ancient ritual with a long history. The ceremony itself had no meaning. The most important part was to insert a key stone into the stone slab in front of the tower.
This is to understand the clue lock device that surrounds the tower. This move is mainly to prevent ordinary people from getting into it.
Although Fang Zhu has seen the tall tower in Nevad, the stone tower stands alone in the wilderness, and there are only a thousand-year-old forests whispering silently, and a long shimmering lake.
The passing wild animals watched the ruins of the civilization day after day, but they had never heard of anyone who would mistakenly get into it.
Of course, Nevard has no humans, only fairies.
The fairies in the forests by the lake are the largest community besides Rotchel, and are also the closest to humans. What's more, a cloud dragon lives in the snowy Holy Bow Peak, guarding the tower by the lake.
This may be a special kind of thing in itself.
After the door opened, the association began to read the name of the participating delegation. The contestants who read it went forward, received a special communication crystal and entered the tower.
First, there is the Blade of Rhizoma, the Silver Chain Island and the White Tree. There are only four or five people in total. After collecting the things, those people enter the tower alone.
But there is no need to worry about the order of time. After entering that door, there is a separate space, and the players will wait for everyone to get ready before the game will begin.
Next were two teams of the Rotao people, then the Guta people, followed by Ravendur and Eynblock Craftsmen Association.
Kapuka Craftsmen Association, Empire Workshop.
Next, it is the Golander Craftsman Association.
Finally, there was the pair of Gemini stars in the Empire. He was already very familiar with one of them. He was the head of the Empire Workshop delegation, named Juno.
That should be his real name, and it is said that he is also a genius in reality. Like himself, the other party entered the Star Gate very later, two or three years later than others.
As for the other person, he didn't really recognize him, he only knew that he was tall and tall, and didn't look like an alchemist.
When Geojiffen passed by Fang Zhu, he couldn't help but look at the Dragon Alchemist who claimed to be a Kaolin man. He opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment:
"The Dragon Alchemist of the Kaolin people, I wish you the last one."
Fang Yu was slightly surprised when he heard this and couldn't help but raise his head.
Before the last round of the game started, the man made a sarcasm to them. Although he later understood from others that it was just a part of the competition.
Perhaps this game does not need to be broadcasted, so the other party does not need to show that rebelliousness.
He replied, "So do you."
Georgifen glanced at him firmly, "I'd be ours."
Fang Yu was slightly stunned, unable to tell the meaning of it. He replied, "If a certain competition area dominates, wouldn't it be boring to super competition?"
"It's not that," the other party shook his head and said, "Forget it, see you in the Hall of Holy Kings."
When the other party's figure disappeared behind the door, he was actually the only one left at the scene.
Fang Rong thought that the imperial people would treat him something special, but it didn't end up embarrassing him. It turned out that he was being self-indulgent.
Fortunately, others couldn't see what he thought.
After he received the crystal, he took it in his hand and checked it, and found that it was just an ordinary product. There were only a few unrecognizable alchemy formulas inside, probably related to the Tower of the Winter Solstice.
He studied it, but couldn't find any reason, so he put it aside. There were thousands of craftsmen, and it was normal that he could not recognize one of them.
He looked up at the arch, walked through it easily and entered the tower.
The light behind it dimmed, and the entrance to the eyes was exactly the same as the Xia Jingao Tower. First there was a wide hall with a long elm table in the center.
There are twenty-seven chairs beside the table.
It is said that those chairs symbolize the twenty-seven most famous alchemists in the history of the empire. There are not only great alchemists, but also masters of craftsmen.
And the most conspicuous one on the main seat is naturally the position of the unique great alchemist.
Fang Yu looked at the empty chair and suddenly had an idea in his mind. Can he sit on it and see, his ID originated from the ancient and modern alchemist.
But he quickly shook his head and threw this ridiculous idea out of his mind. He remembered that before he arrived here, Ming asked him to take a little leisurely, but he did not make a big ugly and occupied the front page headlines in the Astrology Newspaper.
After all, those astrology warriors are happy to see something wrong here.
He raised his head and the space above the hall was still nothing—
The stripped tiles and stone bricks were suspended in the void, and there were several other chairs, but I don’t know what it meant. Fang Yu looked at the familiar void, but the thoughts in his heart were much more than that in the past moment.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Does the void lead to a quiet place of starlight? Does it symbolize the source of alchemy? And behind that dead silence is exactly what this world looks like?
Ordered information will eventually be attributed to invalid entropy. Without the intervention of external information, will Etaria eventually become the same?
And what about outside the Star Gate?
Does the opening of the star gate have a different meaning for the two worlds, what are they, what are the candidates, and what are the Noumerlin elves who have left a mark in this world?
Farev and Atush, they called that moment the coming of the worlds the dusk of the worlds, and in the silence of the stars, just as they walked into the night after dusk, the terrifying shadows in the darkness enveloped the world.
When the misfortune comes.
Just like the night walking in the world.
It is also said that before many eras, every world in Aitalia was filled with light, and the creator Ita had blessed every world in it, making it a land of the most beautiful and goodness of light.
But later the tower overturned and part of the world fell into darkness forever.
That is the origin of the earliest disaster.
The lizard man records this:
‘At the beginning of the birth of the world, two gods were born from a great will, one was the most saint, the most good and most beautiful god, the other was the evil dragon, Ku-Ramonsoda.’
In the myth of the Snake Man of Cinthus, it is also called the python of the earth - Andron.
In the myths passed down from the Cinsas era, the God of Good finally defeated the evil dragon. "So to save all living beings, the God of the best and most beautiful, "Itta" thought about making a decision."
‘He turned into a sea of light, and allowed the world to be permanently shined under the light, and there was no more eternal night and darkness in the world.’
‘The eleven gods were born from His remaining will, namely the gods of the sun.’
But the sea of light has not been extinguished, and evil is no longer difficult to invade.
These stories were actually told to Sufi personally by the legend of the Snake Man in Cinthas when he was underground in Fenris.
The snake people recorded these ancient words before rebellion from seven dynasties and wrote them on stone slabs. No one knows how many of them are true and how many are false.
However, when Fang Zhu was in the Silver Tower, listening to Faref telling this story again, he couldn't help but remember the murals he had also seen in the underground of Fenris-
Several of the murals still remember them freshly. As if once he closes his eyes, the mottled picture on the wall will reappear in front of him:
A tall black tower.
Standing among the clouds with abstract style, it rises from the ground, and below are crowds of all kinds, who seem to be fighting each other.
On the right side of the mural is the abstract sun, and on the other side are the moon and stars. Above the clouds, there is a black dragon full of stars, with its tail hanging down from the clouds, staring at the war on the earth with a cold look.
That is Andron, the giant snake in the world.
Or the "Ku-Ramonsoda" in the context of the lizards.
The dark dragon.
The comet is its tail.
In another picture, the tower cracks, burns in the fire, falling into the clouds, like a meteor passing through the sky, and the crowd flees in all directions.
The last mural is divided into two, one on the black side and the other on the white side, and the black dragon splits from the middle.
The picture ends here. Fang Yu suddenly thought of the two black and white knights that he had actually seen before, the image depicted in the myth...
In fact, it's exactly what the Holy Grail Knight looks like.
“The meaning of the Holy Grail is to be blessed.”
This was how Faref answered. The old man said, "The earliest group of alchemists had seen the most primitive appearance of the Dragon Knight in that dream, one black and one white."
"They call it the Holy Grail Knight, which means the knight who is grateful."
Fang Zhu knew that the great alchemist Ed was not the first alchemist in mankind, although he was indeed the greatest one.
In order to cultivate allies, the Noumerlin elves selected a group of outstanding people from the mortals to teach them the knowledge of alchemists, that is, the first group of alchemists of the mortals.
Ed is just one of them.
The elves let those mortals have a long dream, and in the dream they saw the essence of the world and the starlight, but Fang Yu finally understood it later.
What I saw in that dream was actually the green dream and the glory of the blue.
"That is the prototype of the earliest dragon knight. The power of the white knight freezes all ice, which is the essence of elemental power. All dragon knights in subsequent mortals come from the same idea, that is, the mastery of elemental power and starlight in the material world."
"No one can understand or know the Black Knight. Its power seems to be time and space, but time and space are just appearances. The true essence is the attributeless power of relative elemental power."
"That's actually the origin of another technical route, everything about the conception of the unattributed crystal and the fairy dragon knight."
Fang Zhu asked: "So the dragon knights and the Holy Grail knights that exist in Miss Tata's memory are...?"
The old man nodded, "That is all the secrets we have in the big library."
"... And the real big library no longer exists in this world. In order to avoid that disaster, we keep all our knowledge in an abstract concept, that is, the silver door, the Silver Library."
"I am the guardian of the secret, the founder of the big library."
The old man looked at Miss Tata, "And Miss Tata is the gatekeeper of the big library. To this day, she is the only key still in charge, which is why her existence is so important."
"The second key no longer exists in this world. She is not only the princess respected by the Roshael fairies, but also the princess of all knowledge, our princess."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Fang Yu was silent when he heard it. The word he heard repeatedly aroused his concern: "So what was that disaster?"
"That disaster is nothing more than the final manifestation of all the troubles we have encountered," replied Fariff. "The real enemies have set their sights on us, we have looked for answers through the glory of the sky, and they have found us from another world along the traces we have left behind."
"Is it a shadow man?" Fang Yu realized something.
"It's not just them," sighed the old man, "but they are one of them, and there are more troublesome opponents, they are actually the will of that world."
"The Dark Saints?"
The old man nodded slowly.
"So you faced them alone, why?" Fang Zhu asked, "They attacked all the secrets of the Silver Tower, but why didn't the Silver Tower seek help from the Empire, the Swearing Guardians and the Silver Helmet Guardians?"
"Because in this hunting, we cannot rely on any outsider," the old man replied. "The Silver Tower has special means to hide in the cracks in the space. We call it the tower space, and you have seen it. Hunters cannot travel between the two worlds, they can only attack us in that space."
"Once we exit that space, all the knowledge we get from the space will be transformed into nothingness and all previous efforts will be wasted. If we turn to the empire, we will introduce shadows outside the world into this world, which is no different from what those three geniuses have done."
Faref described in a long tone: "So we chose to face everything alone, Miss Tata, and several others respectively carried different information through the etheric veins, and we kept moving in order to complete the final work before the enemy actually caught up with us."
But the end of the end was transformed into nothingness in the fire of Elpahin.
He finally sighed, "We have lost everything, lost every companion we work with, and in the end we are only me and Atush. The last news we get after that is you and Miss Tata who are back."
Fang Yu was silent for a long time.
He raised his head and said, "Although this is an unfortunate story, I guess there is at least one good news here, and there is another meaning hidden in this story."
Faref looked at him with some surprise.
Miss Tata also looked at him, she had never seen her Mr. Knight think so carefully.
Fang Yu continued, "I might understand why the Shadows carried out their plans in the North rather than the Empire, and the real reason why they attacked Elpashin."
He said, "I guess fifty years ago they did not get what they really wanted from the fire. Although Miss Tata escaped with the message, and the others might be the same. Or they did not at least hand over what they kept to the filmmakers. As for the hunters, the hunters only achieved half of the purpose, and the other half more important purpose, they were lost."
The shadow man might think that it was mortals who used means to escape their pursuit.
Therefore, for half a century, they have opened a passage in Elpahin through various means, entering the rebuilt tower, and finding out the lost clues at that time.
He didn't know if the other party had gained something from the Ethernet pulse this time, but the answer at that time was already close to them.
Because it's up to me.
On Miss Tata.
I can only say that it’s okay, but fortunately Miss Tata didn’t recover her memory at all at that time, and fortunately she knew nothing about it, otherwise the filmmaker would have noticed something when she invaded her thinking world.
But it is also possible that the Dragon Queen Alaisha found a way to protect him and Miss Tata.
He heard a soft hum.
It turned out that the dragon queen had already woken up.
He looked at Faref and Atush, but in this special space, the two of them did not notice each other's existence, and could only be said to be Livgard's daughter.
The old man seemed a little excited. After listening to his words, his old eyes couldn't help but shine again, muttering to himself:
"If others are still alive."
Although he knew that it was just a possibility, in any case, Miss Tata's return at least proved that all hope existed.
And they have almost succeeded.
Although no one knows who completed the second half.
Fang Zhu asked, "Elpahin once had a silver tower. As far as I know, there is also a country of underground dwarves in Isulian. In other words, among the people involved in this plan, are there also secret scholars from Kaorin-Isulian, or alchemists?"
"It did," Faref intercepted, "but now the Tower of Silver is very different from before. We lost too many people in that disaster."
"So," Atush replied, "The Tower of Silver will be made public to the outside world after that and seek help from other continents."
That is the origin of the Twin Towers Trial.
Fang Yu didn't expect that the Mainland League would have such a history. After history circled around, it seemed that it would return to the starting point at this moment.
The old man continued to recall. "But there are indeed many alchemists from Kaurin-Ishurien who participated in this plan. In my memory, they were a group of very brave and noble people."
"One of them impressed me the most was the great alchemist of the Korlin man."
"Wait, Mr. Farref, are you talking about Luo Zhen?" Fang Yu was shocked. It turned out that the last great alchemist lost by the Kaolin people was actually here. He was not missing, but was recruited by the Tower of Silver.
The old man nodded.
Naturally, in the fire fifty years later everything turned into ashes, and all the information about the great alchemist was also hidden under the dust of the fire.
Fang Zhu just didn't expect that Silweid's ancestors had such a past.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I don’t know if it was a coincidence. The other party’s fairy heart left by him also linked the other party’s descendants with the Qihai Traveler name and the history of the Silver Tower.
But good guy, he also secretly complained in his heart. The Kaolin people have no great alchemist in the formation for more than a century. Should the Tower of Silver be responsible?
Luo Zhen suddenly disappeared and did not leave his successor. This may be the reason why the alchemy of Kaolin-Ishurien was cut off.
Faref and Atush couldn't notice his thoughts, but Tata couldn't help but speak:
"The great alchemist may not be born in the inheritance of the great alchemist. The cut-off of the alchemist inheritance of the Kaurin-Ishurien should have nothing to do with it, Mr. Knight."
She said: "Although that fire did seriously damage the energy of the alchemy world of Kaurin-Ishurien."
Fang Zhu nodded.
"There is another one," Farref suddenly thought of something, "the president of the Craftsman Association, of course, was the former president, but he had nothing to do with the Craftsman Association when he joined us, and we lost news about him in that fire."
He pondered and recalled the incident, "I only know that he had a student who was now commanding the entire Kaurin-Ishurien craftsmen, but for safety reasons we had not contacted him."
"It's Fales-Copper Bay, Mr. Copper Bay," Fang Zhu finally understood why the red-nosed dwarf president was so excited when he saw him.
All of this turns out to be such a relationship.
But the president’s teacher must have not disclosed much to him, otherwise he would have taken the initiative to mention Miss Tata when he saw Miss Tata.
He thought for a while, but he didn't think about whether he should mention his teacher's affairs to the president. As Faref and Atush said, it was full of uncertain risks.
He doesn't have to ask about what happened after that and what happened after the fire.
Even Miss Tata could not explain clearly, so naturally the two secret scholars in front of them could not know.
So Fang Yu asked, "Is it too unsafe to have only one key left in the world? Now Miss Tata has returned. Do you need to copy another batch of keys?"
"No," Faref shook his head firmly and interrupted.
The old man looked up at the silver space, "At least not needed for the time being. I have been hiding in this space because the danger is far from receding. At most, only Atushi can be responsible for the things outside, and we rarely mention everything about the fire with the Empire."
He shook his head and said, "It is safest to leave the key to Miss Tata now to keep it with you, because no one except us knows that she has returned. The safe way is to keep this secret until you find out the truth of that year."
Only then did Fang Yu understand why Artus said he could rest assured that there would never be a third person who knew the secret about the Dragon Soul.
But in fact, there are far more than three people. At least the president knew about it. Of course, not many people should have noticed him.
In addition, everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade also knows some of them, but they should not understand the secrets involved between Miss Tata and the Silver Tower.
I don't know what it has to do with that fire-
Therefore, everyone is safe for the time being.
Finally, it was Queen Dragon. She had just started to learn this secret, but he should not worry about her safety.
"You actually worry about me," Alessa's voice sounded unexpectedly, "Interesting, little guy."
Fang Yu listened to the sound and calmed down.
He looked only at the two secret scholars and nodded to them. Because he planned to keep this secret for the sake of others, for himself and Miss Tata.
As for investigating the truth behind that year, it is natural.
After all, that truth is not only related to him and Miss Tata, but also seems to involve others.
The quiet face, long silver hair and pointed ears naturally appeared in his mind, and the sea witch who showed his concern for his expression.
He stared at the nothingness above the tower for a long time, and the silver space in his memory was closing, and the nothingness seemed so similar to it.
It's just one that reflects the sea of light, and the other that seems to be from the void.
Both seem to be the origin of alchemy.
"Mr. Cavaliers, the game has begun."
He put away those complicated thoughts, and Miss Tata's reminder came from the spiritual world. The communication crystal in his hand also lit up, announcing the beginning of the game.
He walked forward, towards the door he had already chosen and pushed it open.
Chapter completed!
