Pillars of Ita

Chapter 1005 Chapter 330 Chapter Six of the Sacred Tree
"What about the Silver Tower?"

"The occultists have checked the qualifications of the players and think there is no problem."

"No problem, how is it possible? The light trial of the goblins lasted at least three years, and the candidate must be at least qualified as a high-level alchemist. There are at least high-level alchemists in the records of the Hill of Giant Trees. Do you think he is a high-level alchemist?" Aboriginal?"

"You're right, but this is the information of the player Forin who returned from the Craftsman Association. He won't be released until May this year and exceeds the age limit..."

"But it's also written on it, he only got the Hailin Morning Star two years ago, how did he pass the test of the fairies?"

Listening to the chatter of the referee team, Geros suddenly said, "Actually, there is also a possibility that the goblins have selected 37 light bearers in this century, but the title of light light knight has always been vacant. "

"The Knight of Light?"

The referees were stunned for a moment, but someone immediately retorted: "How is it possible? The last light knight was at the end of the dragon-slaying era. Since Elric passed away, the goblins have stopped selecting knights for the king."

The others suddenly fell silent. Most of these people came from their respective professional fields, and there were many well-informed people who immediately thought of that possibility.

A light flashed in Geros's mind. Although he suggested that, he didn't think too much about it. It was just out of instinct for cognition in this field.But seeing other people's reactions, he suddenly thought of something.

"So there is a light knight participating in our competition?"

"It is true that the Continental League does not require the highest level of participants, but after all, this is a stage for newcomers in the alchemy world to show themselves. A player who is close to the level of a master craftsman participates. Is this..."

"It can be done without any prohibition, and we can't temporarily modify the rules of the organizing committee. Even if it is possible, it has to be something after this game. The focus of our discussion now is about his age."

"The information returned by the Craftsman Association said that Forin's player exceeded the limit in May this year, but it has already passed May. His registration age is indeed below the age limit we set. After all, there are few competitions like the Continental League. It continued for several months, which is actually our negligence."

"Those old guys in Sanshak will really give us problems, so what should we do now? This year's competition is so exciting, if something like this happens, the previous excitement will be turned into a scandal, and that A dragon alchemist..."

The referee group was silent for a while, and everyone thought of the relationship.

After a while, someone suggested: "Actually, there are still a few days before this player exceeds the age limit. Although it is almost certain that he will not be able to catch up with the other half of the Twin Towers trial, but right now you can say that he violated the rules. It is reasonable to say that it is not against the rules..."

"Everyone, we have to be more careful."

The referees looked at each other, and finally decided on a strategy, "We really don't need to take the responsibility on ourselves. This is a problem with the rules, not our problem. You are members of the referee team, and we are responsible for adjudicating situations that are below the rules. As for the ambiguous For the part, submit it to the organizing committee and let the big figures above judge it."

Although the ball was still kicked out, Geros who stayed aside finally got permission to continue the game.

In fact, as long as the Tower of Silver doesn't make a move, the outside of the arena can't interfere with what will happen in the space of the sea of ​​trees. Several teams that are still competing in the dense forest sea have no idea what happened outside the arena.

It's just that the live broadcast on the main stage was offline for a while. When Geros came back to the screen, he coughed lightly and explained to the audience: "There was a small situation just now, but after the referee team's Discussions will continue as normal."

He didn't say what the minor situation was, and only cut the screen back to the competition space. The audience had different opinions, and the imperial people on Abpenand's side thought that their doubts about the competition had just taken effect.

However, most people also knew in their hearts that the dragon alchemist probably didn't use any outside tricks. After all, this is the site of the Silver Tower. The Continental League has been held for so many times, and the authority of the occultists has always been recognized.

Therefore, the progress of the game was interrupted. Although people murmured in their hearts, they did not discuss it further.

Fortunately, when the competition was interrupted just now, the battle in the sea of ​​trees had just come to an end—the winner and the loser had been decided, otherwise the audience would protest—whether it was the first division or the third division, it would be a troublesome matter.

At this moment, the game was going on as usual, as if what happened just now was just a small twist. The game was interrupted for about a few minutes, and the broadcast in the live broadcast room was not disturbed too much.

The audience discussed it for a while, and then stopped pursuing it.

Jelos instinctively cut the screen to the Hill of Giant Trees first, and the images of Forin and his party soon appeared on the screen. This trip can be regarded as smooth sailing.

Even the discussion on the forum gave the main team of the Hill of Giant Trees a nickname, Lucky Star—everyone thought that this group of people had come to this point by luck, because the Imperials and the Colins were facing each other tit-for-tat.

Therefore, the artisans of the Hill of Giant Trees were able to benefit from it.

Even Geros himself thought this way not long ago, but at this moment, he looked at Forin completely differently from the young craftsmen beside him.

A light knight.

Nearly 700 years after Elric passed away, the goblins elected a dragon-slaying knight. What is the reason?

But Forin in the screen is completely unaware of all the thoughts and ideas outside the screen, or he is aware of it, but he doesn't care.He just walked out of the forest and looked up at the tower that supported the sky.

The towering giant tower exudes ivory luster, and the whole body is white without any flaws. There are only some silver circuits on it, climbing up the tower body like regular patterns, until it disappears at the end of the field of vision.

In the center of the tower is suspended a huge crown-like thing, floating in the clouds like a pure white halo, and casting a shadow on the ground. It is hard to say when and who built these strange giant towers.

They are very different from the architecture of this era in Etalia, and there is no similar minaret or building to be found in the real world.

From a distance, the minaret is still very small, like a silver line connecting the sky and the ground.But close to this distance, its hugeness is beyond people's imagination.Even through the screen, the audience can feel its majesty——

Its tower base is almost the size of a square, with a diameter of more than one kilometer. The square outside the tower is as vast as a plain, located in a valley surrounded by mountains.

Those who walk on it are as fine as dust.

Forin had to look up to see the spire of the tower, which was like a silver thread piercing through the clouds, like the 04 space elevator at the equator, which he had glimpsed before heading to the star gate.

It left a deep impression on his heart at that time.

Just like this moment.

The most important things are contained in the tower, and the outcome of the game is not that important compared to it. With his temperament, he has no intention of participating in such ordinary tasks, let alone competing for an honor with the 'children' .

Compared with such trifles, what really attracted him was only the second world.

But the goblins chose him, and everything he learned from the sacred grove came from his own circumstances.If he benefited from it, he would naturally have to bear the responsibility, at least the high priest entrusted him, and he could not refuse.

However, this competition still exceeded his expectations.

Whether it was the twin stars of the empire, or the 'Dragon Alchemist', especially the latter, he left a deep memory in the negotiation just now.

The Corinn have borrowed their Crystal Tower.

He naturally also saw everything that happened after that through the ether vein in the crystal tower.

Forin was very curious about whether he could do all that, but after careful evaluation, he came to the conclusion that if he did not rely on the inspiration of the holy tree and the mark of the goblin, he might not be able to compete with the one from Colin-Ishurian. Rival the Dragon Alchemist.

At least in this sea of ​​trees space, that's the case.

This world is always full of various opportunities and adventures. You have to be selected by the light, but other people can also have their own encounters, just like the dragon alchemist.

This discovery made him slightly correct his attitude towards this competition, put away his casual contempt, and somewhat entered a certain state. Forin pursed his lips, looking at the huge tower in front of him, a little silver light shone in the sky——

The silver light was rapidly expanding, and it turned into a shadow in a blink of an eye, allowing people to see its appearance clearly.It was a mechanical giant dragon, exuding a silvery luster, and the next moment it crashed to the ground, landing in front of Forin.

It barks its teeth and claws, trying to stop the players on the Hill of Giant Trees from moving forward.

This is the last level of the sea of ​​trees.

But Forin didn't even look at it, just walked forward.

The dragon roared and rushed forward. The two alchemists behind Forin put their hands on the information crystal on their chests. The body stopped in front of the dragon.

It was a large-scale structure similar to the Stalker X-1, and it could also be called a war machine. They raised their arms to support the dragon's pounce-the metal made a toothache when it hit, and the two Almost all of the giant structures sank into the ground.

Cracks appeared on the ground of the square.

But Forin walked on it as if he were walking on flat ground, and he walked through the dragon and through the two war machines without fear.This arrogant attitude angered the guardian of the high tower, and it immediately lowered its head and spit out a flame——

But the flames didn't hit Forin, they hit a twisted curtain of light.The young alchemist appeared hundreds of meters away as if he had passed through the light curtain.

The dragon was taken aback.

It turned its head in doubt, but the craftsmen of the Hill of Giant Trees took this opportunity to project more war machines, and those constructs that were only half its height surrounded it like dwarves.

Although the giant dragon was very contemptuous of this, its attention had to be diverted, and it clawed one by one, slapping those constructs under the soil.It's just that the more it attacks, the more constructs it has around it.

This discovery made the guardian of the tower very angry. He suddenly shook his wings and swept all the constructs away.It immediately vibrated its wings and flew into the sky, intending to teach these annoying ants an unforgettable lesson.

But it was also at this time that the giant mechanical dragon suddenly let out a howl, twitched and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

For a time, the sky was full of dust.

The people in the live broadcast room saw a different scene.

On the square, Forin passed through the portal several times like a ghost, and after several ups and downs, he finally came under the tower. "Dimensional boots." Someone called out the reason for Forin's ability.

It is actually an extremely precious magic item, and it doesn't even completely belong to the field of magic arts. "That's the goblin's technique," a professional immediately explained in the barrage.

It is well known that the alchemists of the Hill of Giant Trees have a deep connection with the inheritance of elves and forest elves, and most of the mortals there have the blood of light.Whether it is the White Tree Society or the Sanshak Craftsman Association, there are a lot of goblin skills——

However, there are also differences between the skills of fairies. Most of the works that can be included in the artisan associations of mortals are the innovative works of later generations based on the skills of elves and fairies in magic technology, but fairies still have some that are only their own. Esoteric.

For example, the dragon-slaying sword they cast.

Another example is the rarest magical wonders.

And Dimensional Boots is one of them.

But no one will doubt whether Forin brought in this dimensional boot from the outside. No matter how rare the fairies' rare objects can do this step, then there is only one possibility left—this dimensional boot was made by him. .

In this sea of ​​trees space.

However, not every craftsman can create goblins. In fact, it is beyond the scope of mortal craftsmen. Even if Forin comes from the elf family, he still cannot really learn the secret skills of goblins.

unless--

"Light Commander," the barrage chattered, "Such a young Light Commander, the No. 30 Eight Light Commanders of the Hill of Giant Trees were born!"

"But can Lightshooters also participate in this competition?"

"Aren't the light guiders all great craftsmen?"

Forin couldn't hear the talk.

After he activated the dimensional boots for the last time, the magic tool had been melted due to overload, and the power of the secondary mechanical artifact on it was also stripped off and turned into scrap iron.Dimensional boots are one of the core abilities of fairies, almost as good as the casting method of Dragon Slaying Sword.

Of course, he couldn't reproduce it completely, but with the help of the magical secondary mechanical artifact in the Sea of ​​Trees space, he could imitate part of the rare ability. The key to this was almost exactly the same as Fang Plover's thinking.

It is not surprising that excellent craftsmen regard the sea of ​​trees as their own testing ground.

Forin looked up, and the first thing he saw was a huge archway.

The huge door that opened, shining with snow-white brilliance, seemed to be cast by a giant, and it has stood here for a long time, motionless, as if at the end of that time, there has never been any change.

Standing in front of this door, he is as small as dust.

Forin raised his hand and pressed his palm against the door.

A sea of ​​stars spread before him—

That was the final test of the multiparallel technique.

"The Door of Truth," the wandering horse introduced in a low voice. "There are many ways to open this door. After passing through it, the space behind the tower is actually the next level of this competition."

"Generally speaking, after the contestants have stayed in the sea of ​​trees for 30 days, they will also be sent to this door. At that time, this door will calculate points for them and send them to the next stage of the competition."

"But there is also a way to open the door in advance. In that case, you can also get the rewards in the tower. The spaces behind the three main towers are connected one by one, only the rewards are different. In addition to the two legendary dragon souls, there are also A true mechanical artifact."

"But over the years, there are only a handful of participating teams that have really opened this door..."

He watched Forin's actions, "But maybe we can witness a miracle this year."

The wandering Ma'er was still thinking about Fang Plover and the others. He had a vague premonition that this year's Hill of Giant Trees delegation seemed to be even better than he had imagined. Among the three teams, they were the ones who reached the finish line first.

He vaguely felt that Forin might actually be able to open the door.This realization made him frowned slightly. Although the operation of the Empire Workshop was hindered, in fact, the progress of the Colin-Ishurian side was the slowest at this moment.

From the map, it can be seen that Fang Plover and his party have not yet reached the wall of darkness.

Although he still had confidence in the Plover in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little worried at the moment, but he still explained: "In the last session, the Loofah United Empire people used the floating ships they built to blast away the tower four. The door, but in fact there are other ways to open the door..."

one of them.

That's what Forin was trying to do right now.

That is the ultimate meaning of multiple parallels, and it is the last question left by the occultists of the Tower of Silver. It is a shining star sea composed of more than hundreds of branched optical networks.

To see the end of the sea of ​​stars, craftsmen must have extraordinary attainments in multiple parallelism.

"But isn't Forin a bit overbearing?" Jelos has been a little silent since he came back from the backstage.But the young partner beside him didn't notice the abnormality, and said, "I think his companions may not be able to stop the guardian for too long, the actual level of that giant dragon is actually the same as that of the real pseudo-dragon knight." Not far away..."

"In the last session, Loofah and Alix relied on a Sovereign-class battleship to deal with it and find an opportunity to blast open the gate of the tower in one fell swoop."

"Assuming he can master ten to twelve or more multiple parallel methods, it will take at least half an hour to open this door, I—"

The young partner suddenly got stuck.

Because what he saw was that just as Forin pressed his hand on the door, a floating phantom rippled from the door, like a circle of ripples——slowly spreading in all directions.

Wherever the ripples passed, a silver circuit of light spread over the door, and the giant door was dissolving little by little, turning into nothingness.And at the same time, the guardian of the giant dragon closely related to this giant gate was letting out a mournful howl in mid-air.

Under everyone's gaze.

It fell from mid-air.

The difficult question collapsed in an instant, the door opened, and the path leading to the treasure behind appeared in front of Forin.

But the latter just watched this scene expressionlessly.

He raised his head slightly, and looked at the treasure that shone with blue light leading to the back of the step-by-step upward stairs in the high tower.

Chapter of the Holy Tree.

The mystics are stored in this secret space, and it is also the last sigil of Terra card that exists here in the world.

The purpose of his journey, in fact, stops here.

But it is also at this moment.

The young man's face suddenly appeared in Forin's mind again, and he stopped slightly, and his heart was shaken for a moment - his own purpose.

Is that really all?
