Pillars of Ita

Chapter 1002 Chapter 330 Act III by Quantity, to Quantity VI
'When the Telukans walked out of the forest, they saw the stars rising in front of them, just like a scroll of the universe slowly unfolding, the stars rose, and the flames of the pure world descended——

——Almud Alma, "A War in 778"'

……

Forin pursed his lips, silently looking at the still slightly childish face in the flashing fluorescent screen.In his light blue eyes, there was also a layer of thoughtful light.

Sometimes Forin can't help but think:

What were you doing when you were still at this age?

Many, many days ago, when he emerged from the youth academy, shouldering the expectations of everyone, he also yearned for a wider world.

Later, he gradually became a rising star in the eyes of many people.

But what was expected has not been realized; what has been realized is only responsibility.

The joy of youth has turned into the heavy burden of reality—different people have turned into overlapping shadows, and the elderly man is wrinkled, staring at him with wise and serious eyes.

Then the leader stepped forward and stood in front of each of them.

The other party sighed lightly, and patted his shoulder lightly with his hand.

Hear, the boughs of holy white pass through the dark woods.

The dead winter spread quietly, leaving withered embers in the woodland, and the shadows in the forest stood tall and silent.

What will it be like in the future before the end of the world?Thousands of stars descended from the night sky, like ancient trees hanging down their branches, the stars twinkled, and the woodland quietly revived from the ashes.

"Forin, it's up to you."

"...It's a bit unfair for you to participate in this competition, but the situation in the heart of the giant tree is getting worse day by day. Some people in Sanshak are even spreading rumors about the Temple of Shadows. We must have a big victory Only then can you stabilize your heart..."

"We have to find the answer about the heart of the giant tree from the Chapter of the Sacred Tree. The day of withering is coming, please take care of everything..."

"We have to move on, we have to... get to that place."

"Tower No. [-]—"

The young man in the picture finally spoke.

Forin was slightly startled, and then he took his wandering thoughts back from the memory, looked at the other party, looked at the other party with confident eyes and said to himself:

"Forin, is that what your goal is? But the imperials probably won't live in peace with you. Can you really pass through the forest so smoothly and reach your goal?"

The boy shook his head:

"I can agree, but it's far from enough. The Imperials don't think so, and their allies don't think so either. Their target is us—and each of you. The White Tree Society has already left the stage. The next one is us." , it can also be you."

"You can't say that you will collide head-on with the Ravendur Craftsmanship Association and the people of Silver Chain Island. Forin, will the second division face the alliance of the Imperials alone?"

"I guess you will retreat, but that is not the best way. I guess you must have a plan to open the No. [-] main tower, but it will take time, but time is the enemy of each of us."

The brilliance in Fang Plover's eyes was like a rising star, and he smiled: "Why don't we cooperate, Forin. The Luotao people are on our side, at least in this sea of ​​trees, let's join hands."

Empire people.

It's nothing.

Forin pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time, but finally he asked, "What do you want?"

"Crystal Tower."

Fang Plover replied: "——we will help you stop the imperials, but——I need the right to use the crystal tower!"

"..."

long silence.

And Fang Yan looked at the same young face in the picture, and said word by word:

"Forin, there is no such thing as goodwill without reason, and there is no free lunch. But there is a straight road to victory, and we will help you behind you, but... I need your voice."

Forin gently closed his eyes, opened them again, and stared at the other party, "In terms of intelligence, they say you are not good at bargaining with others."

Unexpectedly, it was still seen.

Fang Plover turned around in embarrassment, revealing the girl there.Luo Wei glanced at him, shook her head slightly, then turned her head, and also stared at the young and promising leader of the Sanshak people in the picture.

"Miss Luo Wei, it really is you."

"That doesn't matter, Forin, what about your answer?"

The expression on the young alchemist's face turned serious, he opened his mouth and said something softly.

……

Anat raised her head and stared at the fleeting meteor in the night sky.

The galaxy hanging upside down above the sea of ​​trees, the twinkling stars on it may not be real—it may record the ancient stars in Etaria that were also reflected in the eyes of different people many, many times ago.

Like a flickering cantilever of the Milky Way, it connects the two ends of the distant history and the present, and together unfolds a magnificent picture.So time freezes at that moment, recording the meaning of thousands of years ago to today.

But that shimmering light was not a long comet tail, but the light of an artificial object.A machine was passing through the vast sky, staring at the ground below with icy eyes.

The flash of the explosion spread in the forest.

The struggle on the ground—

is also spreading.

Many admiring eyes fell on her.

In the dark, people are waiting for the moment when the action starts, waiting for the pointer to cross the dawn, and the sinking stars are reflected on the watch cover, bit by bit, waiting for the twilight to rise on the horizon.

But Anat didn't care about those gazes, she just gently fiddled with her braids with her hands, pursed her thick lips, and there was a firm light in her beautiful light blue eyes that were as bright as jewels.

What she needs is not the kind of 'shallow worship and yearning'.

It's the way to prove yourself.

Proof of victory——

"The Colin people stopped the imperials, look at the direction of the main tower," Anat silently watched the flashing light in the sky, "why don't we go over there and give the imperials a fatal blow from behind, just like what they did to us Same."

"Gemini is not that simple," the black young man with a determined face said, "They are far from being in a desperate situation. But the people of the empire can take care of themselves, not necessarily others."

"It's like repeating the words," Anat sighed softly, "Tig, do you really believe that little guy?"

"Why not?"

Teague wrapped his hands with cloth strips, then put on the bulky magic glove, he raised his head, his eyes flashed with flames of vengeance, "It's not rude to come here, this time it's our turn to surprise the Imperials gone."

The two wanted to say something more.

But another meteor streaked across the sky, causing them both to turn their heads and stare in that direction.

There, an invisible message is passing through the forest. It passes through the ether vein flowing in the sea of ​​trees, and flows through the crystal tower towering above the valley.

In the dim light, refracted to a more distant direction,

Magic turned into words.

Countless information is dismantled, turned into streamers of light, refracted and jumped one by one, and finally converged into a beam of light, which meets a certain node hanging alone in the night sky, where the silver light flickers slightly.

Two points of light lit up in the darkness.

Those are the pupils of the fairy doll.

Then it flew off in one direction.

The puppet slowly descended in the forest and landed in front of Anat and Teague. It looked like a delicate girl, facing the two with a silver face and calm eyes, and stretched out its small hand .

A silver thread extended from her, connecting the two.

A voice sounded from the minds of the two.

"Miss Anat, Mr. Teague—"

"Please join the network."

"I need all your computing power."

Anat turned her head and exchanged glances with Teague beside her. She raised her hand and snapped her fingers lightly.

Countless silver lights are rising from the forest, little by little, one after another, and in each halo, there is a goblin puppet waking up.They opened their silver pupils, and etheric lines were connecting them together one by one.

And so the star-studded network rose from the sea of ​​ether.

"But..." Anat watched this scene silently, and couldn't help but say, "Ed, what are you going to do...the factor of distance..."

She stopped suddenly.

Because in those blue eyes like lapis lazuli, a ray of flame far away in the sky was reflected.

As described in that ancient psalm--

Ah, the stars rise, and the stars hang down, reflecting the shining sea.

The ancient shores that gallant sailors oared from, the starry sky they gazed upon;

It is the same as it is today after a thousand years.

What is sung in the ballad is not only a dream, but it is also reflected in reality at this moment.

……

"what is that?"

It was just such a constellation of rising stars that Lek Sabins saw as he stepped out of the woods.They shone dimly in the night, but they were dotted with stars, juxtaposed with each other, forming that huge array across the sky——

In any case, people cannot see that it is a creation of nature.

Everyone raised their heads, watching this incredible scene.Each star is like a silver pointed shuttle, its surface reflects the moonlight and brilliance, like a mirror, depicting the vast sea of ​​trees and the distant horizon.

The sky and starry sky are also written on the surface of the machine, and the ancient and modern are integrated into one.

The Imperials of the Ravendur Craftsman Association were the first to notice something was wrong. A craftsman immediately pulled down his goggles and raised his hand to let his clockwork goblin approach quickly.

But there was nothing but panic in his eyes.

He screamed: "That's... a structure!"

That scene was just like the apocalypse that the people of the empire saw when the Telukans walked out of the forest 330 years ago.

When the barbarians in the mountains faced the judgment from the magical civilization for the first time, what they saw were the stars shining in the sky, and the catastrophe that fell from the vast sea of ​​stars.

The flames of doom hang down from the dome, burning up the forest and burning up the mountains and rivers. It was a huge array of thirteen thousand annihilators, and it was also the moment when the stars of the empire shone.

It is also the famous battle of the Fairy Wall.

Just like that.

Counting back one thousand and one hundred years, what the cold pupils of the Nightmare Stove Army that is overflowing the Clover Plain is watching is the same romantic scene——

The silver ships of the Numelin Elves lined up, and countless stars were rising into the night.

What they saw on that night was the shining stars of civilization, when the army of darkness raised its head and watched the rise of the high wall.

And the gorgeous silver light that the machine hangs down from mid-air.

Later they had a catchy name.

The morning star of Exorin.

In other words, the Lightbringer's——

disaster star.

The same is true at this moment.

What vibrates violently in people's pupils is the shape of the structures, and their silver shuttle-like appearances all tell a story.

That story came from the far north of Kaolin Kingdom half a year ago, covered in severe winter, with wind and snow flying, they flashed a piece of light in the forest, and then ignited the sea of ​​fire.

The sea of ​​flames was reflected in Shadowman's deepest nightmare, thus composing another legend—Caulin, the dragon alchemist of Ishurian.

"Enemy attack—!"

The shaking and fear in my heart turned into a shrill cry.

Before Lieke Sabins realized what happened, he was slammed away by a person behind him. The sturdy imperial craftsman raised his magic glove in the air.

Trying to let the goblin puppet command the swarm to attack the huge array in midair.

but--

"It's too late, Imperials."

It is as if thousands of voices are in harmony as one, as if there is a roar and resonance trembling from every construct in that huge array.

The constructs changed their orientation one after another, revealing their gleaming minions downward.

A huge shadow unfolded in Lec Sabins' heart, and the uneasiness gripped his heart so tightly that he couldn't help screaming: "Get out of the way!"

A little light appeared from the sharp shuttle.

A ray of light bloomed from the countless sharp shuttles.

Countless silver flowers hang down the Milky Way.

It seems to be the most magnificent scene in the universe, just like the golden sky fire seen by the Telukans, like a streamer, like a star rain across the vastness, bit by bit, line by line, from the night sky Drift down.

The countless brilliance seems to be the most beautiful thing in this world. It is not the pity of death, but the holy light that purifies the world. The light passes through the forest canopy, through the human body, and through those dark structures body shell.

Through the core of their crystals, through their red pupils gazing at the starry sky, in that cold crystal, write the picture of frozen time.

Afterwards, the crystal light penetrated the circuit, the magic power burned the cracked crystal nucleus, blue flames spewed out from the magic furnace, long arcs scattered and rushed, and countless flames rose from countless nightmare furnaces.

The forest also turned into a sea of ​​flames.

That magnificent scene was reflected in the dark pupils of the small animals in the mountains and forests who were raising their heads and stopping from the branches of the trees.Then the birds flew up, and the beasts ran away.

Perhaps many, many years after that, perhaps many, many people came to this vast sea of ​​trees one after another after that.

However, it is difficult to reproduce the stunning scenery that was reflected in the eyes of birds and beasts that night.

It will be passed down from generation to generation along with the silent story in the forest, until the silver spire falls and the world becomes nothingness.

Until the continent above the sea of ​​clouds, to the end of time.

silence on the main stage

There was silence in the audience.

Bai Xue subconsciously held Ms. Ming's hand tightly, as if she couldn't hold the world without this.

Ming on the side didn't notice this - she was just smiling, with a glint of admiration in her dark eyes.

"Did you see it?"

"Did you see it?"

That is--

Swift tactics.

That is.

Fairy Dance.

There was silence in the live broadcast room of the stray horse.People exhaled cautiously, as if that breath could take away the rest of their lives, and time passed in silence, like a legend——

From the forest under the moonlight.

Really born.

The sudden blow seemed to suppress the time of the whole world, completely paralyzing the imperial people of the Ravendur Artisan Association, the injured were wailing, and the dying construct was burning.

Star embers rise from the forest, just like the scene of the end of the world.

But it was Lec Sabins who reacted first. He became the hero of the Empire at that moment. He turned and ran back like a blessed soul, rushing towards the large device carried by the magic vehicle at the end of the team.

Beams of silver light passed through the forest, but they all missed him.The imperial people in the distance finally reacted at this moment, and began to gather the wounded and command a counterattack.The Nightmare Furnace Construct started rushing through the forest in that direction.

But a silver light flashed in the forest again, and the Nightmare Furnace creatures at the front of the formation almost all fell down, and a row of tall constructs with red lights shining above their heads and shotguns in their hands came out from the back of the forest there.

"Dragoon Cavalry!?"

The imperial people were so shocked that they couldn't believe it, and there were screams one after another from the front.

Those tall constructs were lining up in a queue, slowly walked out of the forest, then raised the shotgun in their hands, squatted on the ground, and aimed at the frontline nightmare furnace construct.

The fight among the same kind unfolded another picture scroll in this sea of ​​trees.

Behind those strange constructs, the flickering magic circle is constantly unfolding and closing, and then the replicas of the same construct one after another seem to be endless, under the control of the strange nautilus-shaped construct.

Get off the 'line'.

But at that moment, Lek Sabins couldn't care about anything else. He was jumping, pounced on the tall device, and then slammed his hand down on the groove on the device, smashing a magic crystal hard. Pressed down.

A faint blue shield unfolded from the device.

It was produced like water ripples, crossing Lek Sabins, all the Imperials, and the advancing Nightmare Furnace, enveloping the entire Imperials' position.Rick Sabins looked back—

He just saw the stars in the mid-air, the moment when they lit up again.

……

A picture is unfolding in front of Shui Wuming.

Looking at the scene on the screen, she couldn't help but smile slightly.Standing in the forest, more than a dozen craftsmen from the Grand Craftsman Union and the Kapuka Guild Association are raising their heads one by one.

The forest was silent.

They stared at the goblin puppets floating above the forest, a silver thread passing through the treetops, passing through each person, each construct, connecting them to each other.

Then, a little starlight descended.

A goblin doll descended from the sky and came to everyone. It was using a projection crystal to raise a picture in front of everyone. In that picture, the childish boy was watching each of them:

"Everyone."

"I need you guys to connect to the network."

Beam after beam of light is rising from the forest.

Forin turned his head to look at the rays of light soaring into the sky, they bloomed green light under the night sky, just like the legendary Cangzhihui representing the crown of Hailin—the shining beacon, which is illuminating the entire night sky little by little.

Those were the masterpieces they left behind.

But now it has become the path for their alliance to establish victory, like a lighthouse in the dark, illuminating the way forward.

"Kaolin people..." The craftsmen around couldn't help murmuring, "Kaolin people, there really are them..."

The crystal towers are being lit up.

They are like an illuminated network, spreading from far to near, and spreading away in a distant direction.

There, in the burning woodland—

Vikki was panting and stopped, the battle had already reached a fever pitch, although the imperials had no time to attend to him, and it was also difficult for the singer of Taxin to focus on the battle above the ground.

The fight in the sky has completely ignited every cloud layer under the night sky, and the flames made the forest under the steeple red, and she looked around, and there were constructs everywhere in her eyes—whether it was a nightmare creature or an ordinary creature. The wreckage of flexible construction.

The magic cannon of the people of the Red Sea has misfired.

But be victorious.

It will take time—

Is there more time left for them?

Vikki no longer cared about thinking so much, the stinging pain from the wound had almost deprived her of extra thinking ability, she just occasionally looked into the gap above the tree canopy.

There, a cyan-blue beam of light is rising into the sky.

what is that?
The girl had no time to think about it, but the buzzing sound was coming into her eardrums. She looked in that direction keenly, but only saw a clockwork goblin flying towards her——Vikki subconsciously wanted to attack.

But a scene unfolded in front of her, and Zheng Yongzai's anxious voice came from inside: "Sister Vikki, don't attack, that's Brother Ed!"

That rascal?
In a daze, the clockwork goblin flew in front of her, circled around, and flew in through the gaps in the tall stalker's shell.Hovering in front of the girl.It then casts a beam of light from within the crystal core.

Leave a message on her retina.

"Vikki."

A voice sounded from that message:

"Connect to the network."

"You come to serve as the frontline commander."

"I?"

Then, the clockwork goblin closed its wings and landed on her hand with a snap.

Vikki looked down and found that there was a resonance crystal tied to the clockwork goblin.

She was slightly taken aback, still didn't understand what that meant, but suddenly - a kind of throbbing came from her heart.

At that moment, the girl clearly sensed the changes in the sea of ​​ether.It feels like there are countless starlights, rushing forward through the veins of the ether network.

They refract matter and information here from a distant place——

She knew exactly what it was.

Crystal Tower Technology in the Hill of Giant Trees.

Vikki turned her head suddenly, just in time to see the shining portals unfolding from behind her in the forest that had turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Reinforcements have arrived.
