Act 445: The Sea of Angry, the Storm Converges XII
Fang Zhu and Minmeer walked into a dark space, looked up at the surroundings, and the maid was also following behind the two, looking up at the scenery in front of them with a calm look. The continuous groups of underground caves formed an extremely broad space, forming a square that appeared out of thin air, jumping into the sight of the three.
The unmodified natural rock walls extend upwards, forming an open and deep space, which aggregates above to form a dome, and a glowing stone ore hangs upside down on the rock. The faint light emitted by this fluorescent substance crystal outlines the outline of the surrounding stone walls.
A dark color casts a shadow.
The tunnels leading to different directions are like blood vessels stretched on the arteries, spreading throughout the underground world like spider webs. Finally, they gathered here and came to the core of this magic circle. Fang Zhu didn't even need to measure it, so he understood that he had achieved his goal.
Miss Tata still flew out and put her tiny hands on the ground. The dust could not really stain her snow-white tenderness, like the tiny branches of a plant, rooted in the soil. However, with the spiritual connection between the two, Fang Zhu's mind had already merged into the magic web. Opening her eyes, it was like seeing a world.
However, the magic power was just a surface of the sea of Ether. The illusion disappeared like sand and gravel in a blink of an eye, causing Fang Zhu to return to reality again. He couldn't help but feel a trance. However, everything he saw in front of him was completely different, allowing him to see the underground veins and the path of the flow of Ether. The entire barrier was not a book that had been opened for him to read, but at least the catalog had been fully understood. Its purpose and mechanism were fully understood.
As expected, this barrier must have been established for Rodrigo Deanris, the pirate king. Its purpose is to cover up the appearance below and protect the true entrance of the pirate king's treasure house. Its creator may be Adni's father, but it may also be many other craftsmen. The project volume here cannot be completed by one person, and it must have taken time and effort to build for a long time.
He turned around and looked at the maid. Xiesta shook his head at him, saying that she had not seen this place before, but after Minmeer's words, her attitude towards Fang Lun was obviously much better than before, at least she was no longer cold. But Fang Lun considered that on the other hand, Xiesta was entrusted to Sir Mawei by Sir Lynn and Adni's father in childhood. Her fate and origin are likely to be similar to that of Ayon Bullock's girl, Leila.
Even, perhaps earlier than the latter, it is a real prototype—
But what is the prototype? Why did the great alchemist create her?
The life experience of the maid is more like a mystery.
What Lynn and Jed Ham are looking for, the Dragon Hunter, the Star Device, the Dragon Knight Construction, and the Sage Stone, do not seem to be important, but they are just one part of the road. Now, even the business lady Roman, who has always been only asking about the saints, had to block his fate for him and cover the entire valley with a silver coin.
Before they arrive, weave everything into the silver mist.
Does this metaphorize any important information?
Fang Yu already has a lot of information known to him, but most of them point to the three ancient geniuses in the empire seven hundred years ago. The path the three of them pursued was actually just the same purpose - the fairy dragon soul.
The one who walked the most steadily on this road is undoubtedly Helinwell, the most respectful and gentle among the three geniuses, who is indifferent to the world and only inherits his teacher's path and designed an attributeless magic furnace, which can carry the legacy left by Hein Fanm.
The most radical Friston left the Soul School, which was the other branch of the Silver Tower, eventually followed this path and became the promoter of artificial dragon souls. He witnessed its history in the illusion of the Silver Tower and saw the spire that sealed the Dragon Soul.
The Silver Tower was almost successful in the end, or rather, it had reached the end-
Although the most important puzzle is still missing about how Miss Tata wakes up and how she gets to Miya's hands, at least by mistake, he and her have indeed found another way left by Hayn Fanmu.
And successfully gave birth to the first and only fairy dragon soul in this world.
In private, Fang Yu talked to his fairy lady: "But there is still a lack of process, the puzzle we don't know is so technically impossible to reproduce. I don't want this technology to stop here, because it projects the wishes of too many people..."
"And emotionally, I don't want Miss Tata to be unique because that's too lonely. I want many births that are like this, that people can accept them, remember them, and always remember the first one who sacrificed for it."
"But I am not the first to sacrifice for this, Mr. Knight," the fairy lady looked at him calmly, with wisdom in her eyes, "not even my mother, and there were more names before that."
Not only goblins, but also humans, dwarves and even elves.
But she can become a symbol of those people.
Because uniqueness often means confusion, and the controversy that comes with it.
The fairy lady of course understood what the "lostness" in Fang Ling's words meant, and Atush, Faref and her expectations for the path of artificial dragon souls also mean that those who master this technology, Fang Ling, must make their own decisions.
Of course, he is still the heir and dominant of this technology.
If Fang Zhu made a decision, no matter what, no matter how the Tower of Silver would view it, she, as his dragon soul, would unconditionally follow the wishes of Mr. Knight.
But Fang Yu's words still made her feel a different feeling, just like the moment the two met. From then on, the young man who looked at alchemy with a clear gaze in her eyes made her realize that she had met the long-awaited contract person.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! That like-minded companion-
"But abandonment means that you are no longer the only fairy dragon knight in the world, Mr. Knight, which means that you may lose your existing advantages over others." But for his own duties, the fairy lady still reminded him.
"My advantage has never been this. Actually, I learned things very quickly. Didn't you notice it? Miss Tata, because I was a genius," Fang Rong said confidently: "If my advantage had to be revealed by external objects, wouldn't I be useless before I met Miss Tata? Would Miss Tata choose me like that?"
Tata's eyes flashed. Perhaps she hadn't seen such a shameless person in her simple life, but she pondered for a while and nodded seriously: "Indeed, Mr. Knight himself is also excellent enough."
Thinking of this memory, Fang Yu couldn't help but smile. He was facing the gaze of the fairy lady. The two of them felt something and obviously thought of the same thing. Miss Dragon Soul looked at each other and smiled at him.
Finally, there was the most mysterious of the three geniuses. After a dispute with Friston, Gerdham never heard of it. No one knew what he had spent half his life doing after that. He only knew that he later became the founder of the Fire Workshop.
Then there is the more mysterious Adnie's father, the heir of the flame workshop, the star installation, Sir Lynn's technical legacy, and even the green heart that Gerdham took away were all in his hands. To this day, Fang Zhu only heard of this person's name.
But the technology he and Lynn created may be more than just a simple dragon hunter—
After a deep understanding, Fang Yu understood that the other party was pursuing more than just the star device, even the star device was just the first threshold for Gerdham. Here, the Dragon Hunter was just the gatekeeper of the treasure house.
And that real legacy, its predecessor, probably led to the birth of Laila and Sesta.
So what the pirate king said was the real treasure left for future generations?
Is it the secret hidden under the minaret? The etheric node that the Naga tribe and the imperial people compete for? Or is it the product that even determines the fate of the technical route left by the three imperial geniuses?
Fang Yu remembered clearly that when Silvede mentioned Xie Sita's origin for the first time on the boat, he said that the first name of the maid was actually Odise, who had the same name as the goddess, and the maid had indeed been here.
At least she remembered Otrick City and some details on the island, but she had no reaction to the goddess and had never been to this underground ruin. If Audice could hide anything from them, there was no reason for Miss Maid not to tell the truth.
Minmil pulled out his long sword and knocked on the ground, making a tinging sound, proving that the surface was solid and nothing was hidden - the long sword was taken from the dragon hunter casually, so he did not care.
He turned around and looked at Fang Zhu and Miss Maid. Since he couldn't see Miss Tata not far away, this place seemed to him to be an ordinary place. "This is what you said, the core part of the magic circle?"
Fang Yu nodded affirmatively: "Yes, you can dig from here and you can see the part of the array base below. However, the vastness of the magic array is far beyond your imagination. Even if you destroy this part, it will have little impact on the operation of the entire magic array."
Minmill was half-believing and half-doubted, and immediately dug it with the long knife in his hand. A silver-gray light covered the blade and inserted it into the rock like cutting tofu. A deep gully was drawn out. The blade quickly touched a strange surface. Even though he quickly responded, he still cut it open. Minmill took back the knife and found that it was a copper pipe-
A pipe used to transport etheric magic.
Seeing this scene, Minmeer no longer doubted that this is the core magic array of the Aitalia's mysterious barrier - it has never been a mysterious and mysterious thing, or rather a precisely operated magic device. A huge device is located at the core, and the magic power is transported to various nodes through pipes and etheric circuits, and the barrier is shaped through the etheric generator.
He looked up at Fang Zhu, unable to help but reach out and give him a thumbs up. "How did you guess it's in this place?"
Fang Yu looked at Miss Tata, and through his own dragon soul, he could communicate with the Ethernet veins. When Miss Tata contacted the ground, she actually had already connected to the core magic furnace of the device below. Just like a craftsman checking the magic engine, it was nothing difficult.
However, he himself roughly deduced the location of this place, and the alchemists' masterpieces are constantly changing, or it may be a bit troublesome if another summoner comes, but it is nothing for anyone who has made achievements in ether theory.
Of course, he is indeed more sensitive to things in this regard than ordinary people.
Minmeer looked at the exposed copper pipe, which had been cut into a hole, but because the change of the manometer would prompt the entire device to cut the connection with the pipe from the end point, the ether did not gush out like a fountain, but only a light blue magic spread like smoke.
This is also why Fang Yu said that cutting off this pipe would not have much impact on the entire Miku barrier. This giant magic device left huge redundancy. Damage to one of the corners would only cause it to become slowly invalid. The balance of magic power slowly passes through long-term changes, and it may take several months or even years to affect the operation of this barrier.
Minmeer naturally understood this. He was Prometheus' silver rank, and he was not a novice who had no understanding of the worldview. He gently retracted his knife and looked at Fang Ling and said, "Since you can find this place, you must find the core of this barrier. As long as you close the magic core, you can untie this barrier."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! But Fang Yu shook his head. This barrier is not that simple. Concealment and protection are only the most superficial part of it. It is the purpose of Rodrigo's establishment of this magic circle, but the magic circle itself is not entirely built by Adni's father.
Or rather, it is built on an older magic circle.
Fang Zhu had actually realized this as they walked along, or he had already guessed earlier. Jed Ram did not build this magic array, but completed it.
On the basis of the snake people in the Sinthas era, another magic circle was established, and part of the purpose of the original magic circle was changed. With the help of part of the power of the original magic circle, this huge barrier that could cover the secrets and cover the entire island-
In this way, everything will be logically smooth. The natural cave with all kinds of underground connections was not originally dug by the pirate king. It would be better to say that the latter discovered the secret of this place, so they existed for such a long time.
The traces of the axe and chisel in the cave have even failed, leaving more natural appearances. The Pirate King and Adni's father discovered this place, realized its purpose, and used the conditions here to build their treasure house.
And this magic circle has another intention, probably its original effect.
The great alchemist also completed this part when rebuilding the magic circle, and even strengthened the seal, using only the scraps of the original sealing magic circle to re-give the authority to hide and protect the barrier.
Yes.
This used to be a sealing magic array.
And this was not beyond his expectations. Fang Zhuo raised his head and looked in one direction - it was just a wall, but through the natural rock wall, his eyes seemed to be able to see the end point there, the tower in the black fog.
There should be an identical spire in every direction that this magic array extends.
"I can untie this magic circle," Fang Yu replied: "But you can't use such a violent method. I will take you to the core of this magic circle later, but I still need to give me some time. No one can disturb me in between."
Minmeer picked up his hand: "As long as Narsuyan doesn't personally, I promise no one can disturb you."
"Where is that big mistress?" Fang Yu looked at the man in confusion, thinking why this guy was so angry.
"Ten minutes."
Minmeer gritted his teeth: "Even the big mistress, I can help you get ten minutes."
"Ten minutes are enough," Fang Yu nodded. All he wanted was an accurate reply, rather than ambiguously whispering.
This was not the first time he entered the ruins of the Sun Age. The Snake Man of the Cinsas era once had a unified empire with a consistent belief and architectural style. He had already thought about it when he saw the spire.
Everything after that was just verification. From the discovery of this magic circle, he had a clear idea in his mind, and agreeing with Minmeer's request to bring the other party to this place was only part of that purpose.
Of course, the transaction is fair first. If they can really enter that treasure house, he doesn't mind sharing some of the gains with Minmeer, as long as the other party follows the contract seriously.
The two walked forward, but at this moment, a slight tremor suddenly came from the ground, and a silver falcon flew down from the cave and landed on Fang Zhu's hand. Fang Zhu had not had time to see the Jita's mission to the silver falcon, and suddenly a burst of footsteps came from ahead.
Minmeer looked up and found that a group of imperial people appeared in front of him. The first ones were two old acquaintances - Isa and the tall and taciturn Indians behind him - Grey Eagle Rudne. Fang Yu took the silver falcon in his hand and turned it into a silver letter to put it in his arms. He raised his magic gloves, but Minmeer reached out to stop him.
At this time, Isa naturally noticed the three people in the hall. He was stunned at first, and then looked happy: "Minmeer, why are you in this place... okay, do me and Rudne a favor first."
The young man then saw Fang Yu and Xie Sita beside him, and his eyes showed a look: The Sword-holding Court has its own mission, but of course they had also heard of the grudges between the three major guilds and the Seven Seas Brigade.
But the two sides actually chased this island, what a coincidence?
Isa suddenly thought of the obelisk above, and couldn't help but suddenly look at Minmeer deeply - he and Rudne thought Prometheus was working uselessly, but they didn't expect that the other party could see farther than everyone, so they really asked them to find it.
If it weren't for the Sword-Handing Court that happened to have come to this place.
Fang Yu naturally saw what Isa was thinking, but he did not intend to explain this misunderstanding, so that the Sacred Guild, Prometheus and the Gray Realm could suspicion, so as to save these guilds from having nothing to do in a day to cause trouble for others.
Although he had some private agreements with the Sacrament Church, no one would recognize the validity of this agreement on the surface.
At this time, Fang Yu also noticed that the empires were not alone, to be precise, these people were fleeing. After the empires arrived, the figures of the Naga clan soon appeared in the surrounding corridors—
The knights of the imperial people immediately formed an array to fight with the vanguards of the Naga clan. The hunters organized a firepower line in the rear and temporarily maintained the front line.
Isa looked back at that direction, and then he spoke again: "Minmeer, as you can see, I don't have time to explain to you what's going on, but this is the mission of the Sword-holding Court. I need your help to deal with these monsters together."
Seeing Minmil remained indifferent, Isa smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, everyone will have a share. Besides, these monsters will not reason with you. In short, everything will be discussed until their threat is resolved."
"I have no interest in the mission of the Sword-holding Court," Minmeer said, "I am not theirs, what does it have to do with me? Do you think I can't escape, Isa?"
He looked at these people with his hands in his arms, and his words were full of sarcasm: "What's more, you had fought with the Naga clan before and how could you be so embarrassed if you didn't see each other?"
"The Naga clan is bound to win the obelisk...that obelisk," Isa hesitated, "their three mistresses are all here, and even the great mistress is here. Rudne and I are not the great mistress."
He looked at Minmeer and Fang Zhui beside him: "But with you here, we may have the power to fight."
Minmeer became serious when he heard Vastana's name. He turned around and looked at Fang Zhu - Isa and Rudne thought he knew nothing about the secret here and only came for the obelisk, but in fact he knew very well what the purpose of these two sides were.
But if it weren't for Fang Yu's words, maybe he would have been kept in the dark by the other party. After all, the obelisk was indeed so important in his opinion, but now... the other party's proposal is meaningless to him.
With the leopard, he can get it either in the treasure house or the obelisk—at least part of it, but if the S.O.L.I.D Alliance members participate, the nature will be completely different, and there is a Sword-holding Court behind it, which means that the Empire will also get a share of the pie.
However, this is the core of the magic circle. The other party said at least one thing that was right. The Naga clan would not reason with them. The other great mistresses may be confident and have the power to fight, but Vastana is different. He is Naersuyan's maid.
Besides, even Isa and Rudne were so embarrassed, no matter how confident he was, he would not dare to say that he could fight two by himself.
However, Isa is such a keen person. No one who can reach the Silver Level is simple. Minmeer turned his eyes and immediately captured this detail - he originally thought that Fang Zhu was just Minmeer's captive, which was also in line with his understanding of strength.
But now, it seems that there is something else?
Isa narrowed her eyes and looked at the two of them.
"Is this Mr. Ed?"
Fang Yu, of course, understood that Minmeer pushed him to the front desk to force him to take the team. It seemed that Prometheus's silver rank had already turned to his side. He asked back: "Mr. Isa and this one are also silver ranks?"
Rudne wanted to say something, but Isa stopped the latter and nodded.
Fang Zhu looked at the two and asked, "You two people from the Silver Level and the Sword Holding Court are not the opponents of these Nagas. Even if you add Mr. Minmeer and I, will you definitely be able to fight against the Nagas's grand mistress?"
As we all know, the mistress of the Naga clan has the strength of the silver level, and the great mistress is even a first-level Dragon Knight.
Therefore, Isa was not surprised to hear it and said frankly: "If only that big mistress might be the power to fight, but if we add a few other mistresses and female warriors, we will definitely have to lose. Frankly speaking, the same goes for you and Minmeer."
“Why—?”
"The reason is in this place," Isa also saw the magic pipe under Fang Zhu's feet at this time. "I guess you have also discovered that there is a huge magic array below, and there are actually some things hidden underneath. These things are very important to us and the empire. As long as we can delay time and unseal the seal of this place, we can enter the treasure house below-"
He paused: "We can share the things below with you. I can't explain the whole cause and effect. You have also seen that the Naga clan will not give us this time. But as long as we enter that treasure house, we can temporarily isolate the Naga clan."
"temporary?"
Isa hesitated for a moment, obviously realizing that this matter was related to, but he understood that he had to fight for the young man in front of him - in fact, Minmeer's support behind him, and had to consider it: "The Nagas are looking for something very important, that thing is their motivation to drive the storm, but without that thing, they would not be able to maintain the storm for too long, so..."
"So as long as we get that thing first," Fang Yu replied: "The Naga clan can only retreat temporarily? This is how to calm the storm and save the entire northern border. This is the mission of the Sword-holding Court?"
"Yes," Isa nodded subconsciously, but immediately realized that he was acting too explicit, explaining: "Salvation of the ether node is not only to make the Naga tribe retreat, it also plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the elemental frontiers of the entire empire, so the Supreme One attaches so much importance to it."
"So what you are looking for," Minmeer suddenly said, "is the ether node that Andreus has lost for a long time?"
Isa looked at Prometheus' Silver Level, obviously knowing that he could not hide it from the latter. Everyone is from the same level, so he naturally heard about the rumors. He was silent for a moment and nodded.
Fang Yu said nothing.
He did not expect another truth to come to him in this way. His tentative inquiry received some unexpected information, but the remarks of the Empire contradicted Goddess Audice, which shows that at least one of the two was lying.
But lies themselves do not matter.
What is important is that most of this lie can be confirmed by each other, and what is contrary to it is nothing more than what the real role of the ether node in this series of events is, if the empire tries to stop the Naga clan from storm.
How can we explain the disappearing ether nodes in history?
Among the contradictory truths, the final answer was actually about to come out for him.
"Mr. Ed," Fang Zhu was still thinking, but Isa had to speak: "We need your answer."
"Try it first."
Fang Yu raised his head and replied.
Chapter completed!
