A maze-like corridor with new forks constantly appearing.
If you don't have a map, you will definitely get lost here.
With Napoli's guidance, they were not at risk of getting lost. However, Angel discovered that Napoli did not seem to take the shortest path recorded in the crystal ball.
Instead, we took some detours.
Faced with Angel's curiosity, Napoli explained: "The route that appears to be the shortest on the map may not actually be the shortest in time."
Because there are some routes that have to go through the room.
The rooms marked on the map are all of the same size. The map only tells the reader that there are rooms here, and does not indicate the internal size of the rooms.
Therefore, some rooms that look small are actually very large, and there may even be space extensions and layers inside, making them as big as an entire city.
Walking through the house is not necessarily the best route.
"Generally speaking, it is best to choose a corridor instead of going through a room." The path Napoli led was a corridor from beginning to end, without passing through any room.
It may seem like a long detour, but it actually takes much less time than the so-called straight-line shortcut.
However, because I have been walking along corridors, which are sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, sometimes going uphill and sometimes downhill, and sometimes taking turns on slides, it really feels like walking through a maze.
Anyway, even if Angel had a map in his hand, he felt a little bit dizzy.
In the end, Angel simply stopped thinking about the map and just followed Naples.
They were not the only ones on the corridor. Occasionally, the Jingmu clan or Piluxiu would pass by, but they were basically in a hurry and would not stop at all.
According to Napoli, these people were almost all smelting workers in the embryo factory.
Specializes in material smelting.
The smelted materials will finally be sent to the production area, where craftsmen will make the final molding.
The work intensity of smelting workers is actually even heavier than that of people in the manufacturing area. They will select, analyze, and finally smelt materials.
No mistakes can be made at every step.
Moreover, the better the materials they choose, the higher their yield rate will be. And the more good products they have, the more rewards they will receive.
Therefore, in order to improve the yield rate, many smelting workers will find someone to keep an eye on the materials at the unloading area and select the best quality materials to improve the yield rate.
People who are rushing along the corridor are all going to the unloading area to pick up goods, so naturally they will not stop at will. If you are late, you will not be able to pick out good supplies.
I originally thought that they would go all the way to the production area smoothly.
But at this moment, they passed through a slightly dark corridor and were stopped by a black-haired man.
Angel noticed this man when he was very far away, because he looked like a smelter, but he did not go to pick the goods. Instead, he kept wandering outside the corridor, looking like he was in trouble.
As they approached, the black-haired man immediately stopped them.
To be precise, he stopped Naples.
In Napoli's confused eyes, the black-haired man pulled down the gray scarf around his neck, moved his mouth, and a thin voice floated into Napoli's ears.
After finishing speaking.
The black-haired man looked a little guilty and a little expectant, staring at Naples eagerly.
Napoli sighed deeply and rubbed his temples helplessly.
He did not reply immediately, but walked to Angel: "Sorry, he encountered some smelting problems here. I'll go in and help him take a look. I'll be out soon..."
Napoli's tone was full of apology, and his voice became lower and lower: "How about you go first, and I will come to find you later..."
Angel: "It's okay. Just go and help him look at it. We'll wait for you here."
Hearing Angel's response, Napoli breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll be back soon. Just a small problem. I'll be out in a few minutes."
After finishing speaking, Napoli nodded to the black-haired man, and the two quickly walked into the door on the side of the corridor.
The door was not closed, and Angel could see from outside the door that there was an extremely huge space inside.
In the very center of the space is a huge deep pit. There is a large amount of magma flowing in the pit, the temperature is extremely high, and there are even explosive flames shooting straight into the air.
Even though the door was far away from the pit, Angel could still feel waves of heat coming from inside the door.
The black-haired man, leading Napoli, walked around the pit and toward the top.
It should be the smelting platform above, but because it's too far away, I can't see the details.
Angel simply withdrew his gaze.
"The man just now is a Seto." Laplace said softly.
Seto? Angel was stunned. Are they from the same tribe as Kesha?
The biggest feature of Seto is the special lines near the mouth.
The black-haired man just now had been wearing a gray scarf. The scarf was very high and covered his lips. Therefore, Angel had not noticed his identity before.
But when I thought about it now, the black-haired man pulled down his scarf when he was talking, and he did see some strange lines around his mouth.
It seems that it is indeed Seto.
Angel felt a little emotional in his heart. He didn't expect that the first living Seto he saw would actually be met here.
"Speaking of which, I remember Naples said before that the smelters and craftsmen here are allocated according to their ethnic groups. Since we have met the Seto people here, doesn't it mean that the Changhuo tribe is also nearby?"
The Se people are an affiliated ethnic group of the Changhuo clan, so wherever the Se people are, there is a high probability that there are also Changhuo clans.
Angel looked back at this dark corridor. Several doors were closed. Maybe behind the doors was the territory of the Changhuo Clan?
Laplace: "Are you worried about the Changhuo Clan?"
Angel: "It's not that I'm worried, I'm just afraid that they can't help but instigate."
Laplace shook his head gently: "You don't have to worry about this. I just asked Gleipnir, and she said that the Changhuo tribe has its own embryo factory."
The Changhuo tribe is best at inciting war, and their military-industrial system is among the best in the entire White Sun Mirror Region.
Therefore, they can completely rely on their own clan to support a prototype factory.
Since the Changhuo tribe has its own embryo factory, they will naturally not send people to other factories to cause trouble. Therefore, even if the Changhuo tribe really can't help but instigate, it can only be digested internally and cannot incite the outside world.
Laplace: "I'm actually more curious about why Seto is here. Generally speaking, wouldn't it be more suitable for them to be in the Changhuo Clan's embryo factory?"
This is also the reason why Laplace pointed out that the black-haired man was Seto just now.
Angel: "Don't Gleipnir know either?"
Laplace shook his head: "She doesn't care about the distribution of these ethnic groups, Naples is in charge."
Angel: "Then wait until Napoli comes out and ask him directly."
Laplace nodded and said no more.
…
While waiting for Napoli, Angel asked curiously: "When Napoli asked Graipnir for divination, there was no result at all?"
Although Angel himself cannot do divination, he knows that divination is actually about triggering "intelligence", finding key information, and finally performing spiritual synaesthesia.
Napoli's request was to find his own ethnic group, and he himself is the biggest human and physical evidence. With such crucial information, you shouldn't get nothing through spiritual synaesthesia, right?
Laplace: "It is true that Gleipnir did not divine his origin, but there are some internal details in this matter that Naples does not know."
Angel's eyes lit up: "What's the secret?"
Anyway, Naples was not here at this time, so Laplace did not hide anything and told all the information he knew.
Two thousand years ago, after the incident of the young dragon, the Hundred Dragon Kingdom invited Gleipnir to conduct divination.
This divination is very crucial, but some necessary ritual props are missing.
At that time, it was Napoli who worked hard to help Gleipnir, and in the end, he used up all the energy in his divine patterns to refine the corresponding ritual props at the critical moment.
Although Gleipnir didn't say it, in his heart he believed that he owed Napoli a favor.
Therefore, when Naples asked her to help divine his tribe, Gleipnir immediately agreed.
I was thinking of repaying Napoli's favor, but...there was something wrong with the divination result.
She couldn't occupy anything, as if Naples' life experience was a fog.
"At the time, I was a little surprised when I heard about this. Because Naples himself was here, it stands to reason that it would not be difficult to divine his origins."
Because of similar divination, Gleipnir has also encountered more outrageous and difficult ones. For example, some people just hold a piece of hair or clothes contaminated with the other person's breath, hoping to divine the origin of the other party.
Faced with such difficult divination, Gleipnir was able to predict accurately, not to mention that Naples himself was right in front of him, so it should be easier.
But the result surprised everyone.
"Although Gleipnir tried various methods, he could not divine the origin of Napoli. But she also analyzed some deep-seated reasons through some side details."
She originally thought that Napoli's life experience might be very unusual and that he was protected by some powerful force, which made it impossible to perform divination.
Therefore, she expanded the divination terms, not to divine the specific life experience of Naples, but to use Naples as the starting point to find the ethnic group behind it.
But even so, she still didn't get any results.
This is very bizarre. It means that not only those who are related to Naples cannot have divination, but even people of the same clan who are not related to Naples cannot have divination.
In this situation, according to Gleipnir, there is only one possibility.
The ethnic group behind Naples, or the civilization and world he lives in, are very special and are surrounded by mysterious power or similar powerful forces.
In other words, all ethnic groups, no one left behind, cannot be divined.
A powerful force that can cover the world and civilization, Gleipnir has no way to peep, and she doesn't even dare to say anything easily.
Because Naples is the person involved, it is very likely that as soon as she speaks out, she will be targeted by the powerful force behind her ethnic group and commit a "taboo".
Under this situation, even if Gleipnir analyzed some secrets, she did not dare to tell Napoli.
I'm just saying that no information has been revealed.
This also means that she has not returned the favor to the other party.
Although Napoli didn't say anything, Graipnir felt very guilty in his heart, which was the main reason why Graipnir's attitude toward Napoli was softer than anyone else's.
"A power that can affect an entire world..." Angel's eyes flashed with surprise. This kind of power is at least legendary, right? Or, is it stronger?
From this point of view, Naples' life experience is really mysterious.
Originally, Angel was just curious about the origin of Naples. But after listening to Laplace's story, he actually felt a little itchy.
"Since there is no way to determine his origin through divination, can we find out his life experience by comparing the unusual parts of Naples' body?" Angel asked.
"Gleipnir has also done this, and even Naples' master, Algaron, has made similar comparisons." Laplace: "The final result is that Naples does have something unusual.
place, but only in Naples. They have not seen anything similar in any other ethnic group."
Therefore, there is no way to find his life experience.
Angel asked curiously: "What on earth is that? Only Naples has it and no one else has it?"
Laplace was silent for a moment, then softly uttered a word: "...divine pattern."
Divine pattern?
Angel's eyes flashed with confusion. He vaguely remembered that Laplace seemed to have mentioned before that "the energy in the divine pattern is exhausted." Is the divine pattern here unique to Naples?
Laplace: "The divine pattern, in fact, what you should have seen before is a pattern on Napoli's arm."
Angel recalled that there was indeed a pattern on Napoli's arm where a hammer blended with flames.
However, when he first saw it, Angel only thought it was a tattoo and didn't think much about it.
Unexpectedly, that is the divine pattern? Is it a unique place in Naples?
Laplace nodded: "Yes, that is the divine pattern."
Napoli's divine pattern looks like a tattoo, but it is actually a very strange organ. In Gleipnir's words, the divine pattern is an external energy organ.
The source of Napoli's power comes from divine patterns.
According to Naples, after he became the Hollow Man, he lost all his memories, but he did not lose his power. Because his power was stored in the divine pattern.
When he "communicated" with the divine pattern again, he found his ability.
To put it simply, he can obtain the "skills" and corresponding energy stored in the divine patterns by communicating with them.
As for the "communication" here, Naples cannot describe it in detail.
He is naturally able to communicate, and therefore, he cannot explain how this kind of communication is achieved.
Just like silicon-based organisms, no matter how hard they use their words, they can't make carbon-based organisms understand their ideology and lifestyle.
All in all, the Divine Communication Pattern is something that Naples is born with and cannot be learned by outsiders.
