Pillars of Ita

Chapter 1007 Chapter 330 The Arrival of Each Other

The giant tower standing in the sky is like a thread hanging from the clouds.

It is the hanging rope that the saints lowered their destiny to the mortal world. The flickering silver light is reflected under the burning clouds, as if they are sympathetic to all beings and drowned in the mortal world.

It seems that from the tower, the fate of a certain ancient time is frozen.

In that fate, all the stories are eternally stagnant in a given time—just like everything stagnant in this sea of ​​trees.

Fang Plover was staring at the three towers for a long time.

In his eyes, it was difficult to tell whose story was behind it—who built them, whether this sea of ​​trees was a fragment recorded by occultists that collapsed in history, or just came from some people's imagination, An elusive imagination?
But people's imagination needs to be based on a certain reality after all.

So does the past here come from the same civilization he saw from under the abyss, or is it the inverted reflection of the dark world, those strange construction machines, and the artificial dragon souls sleeping here——

What exactly does it mean?
At first, he meant that it was just an inadvertently set level, just like this dense forest, without any metaphorical meaning.It's just that there are huge ruins hidden in the valley, like an unknown and exciting adventure.

But those testimonials from different technical routes of the era are buried among those towers, like silent treasure houses guarding secrets, which are nothing to those who don’t know the secrets between them—— But in his eyes.

There seems to be some unknown secret hidden behind this.

No. [-] Dragon Soul, the Fairy Queen Owena can't tell him that secret.He had asked, and the lady was very approachable and agreeable, reminiscent of another of her blood descendants.

It seems that they are all in this group, calm, rational and calm.

But Fang Plover has actually met forest elves in the elves' residence. It is a very lively tribe, and each elf is full of curiosity, energy and loves to be lively.

Owena will answer his questions, she will talk about her own origin, and talk about the era after that cursed star.

"I don't know what happened after that."

"I just remember... Like-minded people, we all guard a secret together; the tower shaped my body, I was chosen, and I volunteered to devote myself to it, for a noble goal..."

"Do you remember that target, Ms. Owena?"

The Fairy Queen shook her head slowly, a flame was shining in her eyes, as if she was watching something.

"The fire of the golden flame is like the flame of azure... The broken pieces came to the world, and after that, there was a door, and countless sails shining with silver light left this world, leaving only darkness and silence..."

Fang Yan silently listened to the words that were as obscure as a riddle.The fairy queen seems to have seen a similar scene from a fragment of the future or the past, and he has actually glimpsed a corner from a nightmare——

The fire of Venus falls into the dust, this is the prophecy of the dark dragon.

The dead enemy will surely reappear. The ancient fable has now become a recurring fact. Although he has never met the revived Dragon Witch during the Battle of the Northern Territory.

But judging from the performance of the Golden Flame Ring, the dark dragon is undoubtedly still there, and it may have merged with Ms. Misu.

Whether it was good or bad behind that, he didn't know.Whether there will be another tragedy in the future is difficult for him to speculate, but the Seven Seas Brigade has never found any information about the dark dragon and its followers since then.

They reported the information to the Elpaxin authorities, but it seemed that they were not taken seriously, because the army of dragon beasts in the northern part of the Traveler's Swamp had already left and was nowhere to be seen.The chaotic situation in the northern border has not yet been brought under control, and it is impossible to invest too much manpower in this illusory matter.

The Artisan Guild and the Knights promised to keep in touch with them, but so far they have not sent back any information about the Dragon Witch.

He trusts Arquette and those dwarf masters, they will never neglect their duties on this kind of thing, that is, they really have not found any clues about the dark dragon, and everything about Colin-Ishurian now seems to be Confusing.

However, although the Dragon Witch is missing.

However, the green dragon Magery, who had defected during the battle of Fenris and has not appeared so far—or Toragottos, actually threw himself into the embrace of darkness and joined the ranks of the dark dragon.

Under the abyss, it was eroded by the power of the abyss, and it witnessed and embraced the green will. Although it is not the original shadow dragon, it can also be regarded as a metamorphosis——in the age of giants, there are many dark dragons like this origin.

Not to mention that the soul of the Dark Dragon King he let go from under the ruins of Idos is still lingering and plotting what kind of conspiracy.

Then Fang Ploy thought of the ethereal ghost beside him, another person who had a close relationship with the Dragon King—the heir to the throne from the Dark Ages, Ned Hogg's daughter.

The dragon queen named Margaret or Alyssa, who she called herself, seemed harmless, but he still didn't dare to trust it completely.

In any case, the return of the dark dragon is definitely not a good thing for this chaotic world.

Then came 'shattered fragments came into the world, and then a door, and countless sails of silver light left this world'.Fang Yan couldn't help thinking of the scene he saw under the deep sea in that dream——

Isn't that just a broken world?

It is said that the sky collapsed and the earth cracked when Aisuolin was destroyed. Perhaps that dream was foreshadowing something. The cracked thing was the moment when the green star collapsed, and it heralded the end of a world.

At the moment when the calamity star collapsed, the world also fell for it, and the north of Kaolin-Ishurian disappeared completely from the world. shadow……

But that was just the end of that war.

What happened before that?
That is the history recorded in the Numelin elves, and that period of history has long since disappeared from this world with the escape of Yinfan, and mortals have only witnessed a corner of that incomplete world.

Even the snake people and the lizard people kept their mouths shut about this, or after a long time and years of scouring, the inhabitants of the jungle lost their own civilization and lost many ancient records.The Great Council still left some slate records, and the Sinthas snake people disappeared completely along with their empire.

Where did the elves go?

Why leave only a dark world?

The world under the abyss is indeed dark, cold and eerie, and everything behind it seems to tell a certain tragedy, but the source of the tragedy is unknown.

Fang Yan suppressed the restless part of his heart little by little, trying to convince himself that the stories in the fables had nothing to do with him, at least not yet, and Owena's words—at least explained two things.

The research on the Silver Tower and the development of the second technical route should be closely related to the Green Star.He can further expand on this speculation, which sounds like a preparation for the occultists to deal with a prophecy about the future——

This prophecy may herald the return of the dark dragon.

It could also be about the fallout from the Verdant Star.

Or the next arrival of the evil star is unknown, but that era is too long, and time has almost erased all credible information.Perhaps the next part has been preserved, but it is not accessible to him.

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Fang Plover's mind:

Perhaps the demise of the Green Star was not as perfect as people imagined, and the Numelin elves left many stories, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why mortals fought against the dark dragon for so long after that.

When the last dark dragon is annihilated.

Mortals are aware of today's crisis, and the dead enemies of the past will return, so they left so many hands and feet.The light-sworn man, the silver-helmed guards, the oath-keeping clan, and the legend of the five dragon-slaying holy swords...

And including the occultists, and the first emperor of magic who founded them.

Didn't the establishment of the Silver Tower come from this?

The train of thought gradually became clear.

That’s right, the Dragon Worshipers are still thriving in the world, and the emerald star reappeared in the silver sand of Istania—the time went back to 700 years ago, and the fragments that also shone with cyan light were buried under the empire In the depths, it flickers on and off.

A few young people came here and got some enlightenment from it.

The power of verdant has never faded.

The root cause behind all this must be what happened at the end of that great war.At the end of the second disaster, people may not have ended that dark war, but just continued it to this day.

If there are any insiders behind all this, the Oath Keeper, the Light Commander, the Silver Helmets and even the Miluo Palace must know something, but Fang Yan now understands the answer to the mystery that is closest to him.

Maybe right in front of your eyes.

Because it was the most mysterious of the five forces that guarded this world back then, the Silver Spire and the Occultist.

And this is also the second thing revealed in Owena's words. The plan promoted by the Great Libraries of the Silver Tower and the secret they keep are precisely to deal with unexpected encounters at a certain moment. That moment has come.

Now there are only a series of questions left in his mind-is the soul sleeping in the No. [-] Tower really the ultimate answer to all questions?
Were the occultists of the Silver Tower really successful?
But if it succeeds, then why did the crystal sleep forever in the ground of Longxiao Mountain Range?

What memory did Miss Tata lose?
Who was behind the fire?
Some things are forming a coherent thread in Fang Plover's mind. There is no doubt that he has come to the right place this time. The Silver Tower can indeed give him many answers, and he has not reached the end of this world yet.

So what is the door?

The flickering silver sails passed through the door and left the world. This may be a metaphor for two possibilities, or it is the scene he witnessed from the dream, where countless silver sails fought each other in the dark sky.

When the world collapsed, they all scattered and fled in unison.

Or, as mortals have seen, the silver ships of the Numelin elves sailed across the Sky Bridge, thus disappearing forever from this world, the door—perhaps leading to another world.

But people have never found any traces left by elves from the Second World.

Did they really find the other hidden door?
The door to the third world above the clouds?

Fang Yan couldn't help but flashed a face of happiness and anger, bright eyes, and every promise he had made about it in the past.He subconsciously put his hand on his chest, only to realize that this is not outside.

That thin notebook is not here either.A huge vortex seemed to appear around him, and those tiny clues, coincidences, seemed to be connecting together one by one, what they had been looking for all along.

Seems like a coincidence to be that ultimate purpose.

But the complex clues seem to lack a series of final connection points. After thinking about it for a while, Fang Yan felt a little confused. He felt the vague connection behind it, but there was still a lack of a common thread to integrate them together. .

After he frowned and thought for a while, he had no choice but to give up, silently looking at the calm Lady Dragon Soul, and asked:

"Ms. Owena, are you also a fairy dragon soul? I heard that the scholars of the Silver Tower made a total of seven fairy dragon souls?"

The Fairy Queen was slightly taken aback, and looked at him with a surprised expression, "Are you...?"

But her restless gaze was fleeting, and then returned to normal, "Have you met Vivienne, Qina...or are you a participant in the follow-up plan?"

Fang Plover slightly surprised: "Huh?"

"Don't be surprised, it's a secret we keep together," Owena looked at him with a wise look, "You have to become the owner of this secret, otherwise it's impossible to know everything about it."

She paused, "But I haven't seen those latecomers, is she my descendant?"

Fang Yan's heart was filled with turmoil, but he still nodded slightly.

"What's her name?"

"I can't tell you," that's the biggest secret that Fang Plover keeps. He doesn't know whether this world in the sea of ​​trees is really independent, or is it a fragment of time left here.

He promised Miss Tata to keep the secret, but if someone can use the memory of the dragon soul here, then he will undoubtedly break his promise, "But she..."

"She is excellent?" Owena smiled slightly, with light in her eyes, "I see, they still reached the end."

Fang Plover looked at her unexpectedly.

He couldn't imagine that this was a simulated dragon soul, and the other party's speech and behavior seemed to really exist in this world.

But the Fairy Queen saw through what he was thinking, "Deriving the future from the past, this is my basic ability. Every Fairy Dragon Soul has this ability, calculation and deduction, this is the meaning of our birth. I guess you If they came here looking for an answer, then they must have encountered some kind of setback."

"How do you know, Ms. Owena?" Fang Yan couldn't restrain his surprise.

"Because the work we are advancing will definitely encounter such difficulties, the enemy is around, and we have to give up some things when necessary, but it is all worth it. At least the most precious treasure has survived, or you will not will appear here."

"But how are you sure it's her?"

"I don't need to be sure," Owena replied, "You told me. If even you can't be sure whether it is the final answer, then it must be the final answer, because the known answer must be the established answer." Yes, only the unknown answer is the ultimate goal we want to approach..."

"At least, it's the closest one. Besides, I don't need to confirm whether it's right or wrong, because you will confirm it yourself, won't you?"

After Ms. Dragon Soul finished speaking, she turned her eyes to the tall tower in the sky.

Fang Yan was speechless for a while, Miss Tata could read his mind, but it was as if the Fairy Queen could read his mind.

While he was watching, a change had taken place in the distance.

It took only a short while for Guland to solve the problem he had set himself. It was like an innate talent, and the secret of Potions was revealed to him without a doubt.

Just like an open book.It is not without such wizards in the history of Altaria. In fact, most naturalists have similar abilities. Compared with wizards, ether is a reference book for them.

The world is not fair sometimes.

The pitch-black wall became transparent and separated to both sides.The constructs surrounding the barrier stopped their attacks and landed one after another—although their attacks were useless at all, under the leadership of several Kraken constructs, the circular defense line did not play any role at all.

Guta people, Kapuka craftsmen, and Lotao people, combined with a few geniuses from the Grande Craftsman Association, did not need him to pay attention to the Ethernet network between dozens of goblin dolls. Every corner of the forest is covered.

Before Guland approached the high wall, the army of constructs had flooded the entire defense zone like a sea tide, so that they didn't even meet much resistance when they unlocked the restrictions on the black barrier.

The communication crystal lit up, and there was a reply from Tigger. The Lotao people first expressed their gratitude to them, and then they parted ways with the Kolin people—their goal was to occupy as many towers as possible in the central area.

before the end of the round.

And what remained in front of the Colin people was actually only the final goal - the towering No. [-] Tower.

Fang Plover put away the communication crystal and ended the conversation with Owena. The fairy queen was buried here, and she didn't know what happened after that in the Silver Tower.Everything was just as she said, and in the end he had to verify everything by himself.

He looked in the direction of Tower No. [-] and Tower No. [-]. The people from the Hill of Giant Trees entered the central area first. Maybe they had already entered Tower No. [-], got what they wanted, and entered the next one. competition area.

As for the Imperials, the opponent's progress should also be ahead of their own, but as for how much ahead, it is still unknown.Fang Plover wasn't too anxious, the dust of the contest in the sea of ​​trees had already settled.

Sequence is not critical.

And at this time, a red line suddenly rose in the sky.

That dark red line seemed to separate the entire world, giving people an illusion—as if the entire tree sea world was divided along that line, and some violent shaking occurred.

But Fang Yan immediately realized that it was not an illusion, or at least not entirely an illusion. The violent shaking was coming from a distant direction, rolling in like an earthquake wave, causing the entire forest to tremble.

A horizontal wave surged up on the ground, and the trees fell down and the rocks rolled over where it passed, causing people who were standing still to fall backwards and fell to the ground. Only Fang Plover was spared by holding on to a towering ancient tree beside him. .

He raised his head and looked in that direction, the No. [-] tower where the imperials were almost tilted slightly, and then stopped still.

Then everything fell silent.

The Imperials moved.

That kind of powerful force seemed to make him witness the mighty force that he witnessed once again in the underground of the Nozpitz mining area. Although it was not enough to raise the entire central area, it was undoubtedly as Xiaoyao said——

The other party is experimenting with that kind of device.

There has been no response for a long time in the world of thinking, but the imperialists have undoubtedly taken action, and whether they succeed is still unknown-but it is unlikely that Fang Yan guessed that the other party failed.

But this didn't affect him too much. In any case, the two most important opponents have to step into the next level one after another. If that's the case, the next game will decide everything.

And this moment.

It's actually more important to him.

But compared to the calmness of Fang Plover at this moment, the tide on the main stage could not be calmed down for a long time. People have become accustomed to the surprises and even frights brought by this competition again and again, but they always think that the victory and defeat have been divided...

But there are always new situations.

First, the artisans of the Hill of Giant Trees won the first place from the miracle-creating Koolin, and entered into the No. [-] tower first in a way that was almost tricky, and took the first step into the next level after taking away the mechanical artifact there. .

But then, the Imperials, who had suffered a great loss, attacked the central area before the Kaolinians, and used that weird device to create an earthquake, opening the gate of the No. [-] main tower.

At the moment when the guardian of the tower was wiped out, everyone understood what the Empire Workshop was relying on this time—perhaps from the very beginning, they could not use the advantages they had accumulated before.

"Hasn't the Colin people made a joke?"

"That's not necessarily the case. They broke the alliance of the Imperials head-on. After that, they just returned to the starting line. Do you think that based on their previous matches, the Imperials and the people from the Hill of Giant Trees can get along well in the following schedule? "

"That's true."

The people on the field whispered, and not everyone cared about the feelings of the Oshu people. Those spectators who traveled thousands of miles from other regions to Abpenand were often some of the most loyal fans of the Artisan Competition.And their vision is often the most vicious.

However, Geros didn't discuss this with his partner. His eyes were fixed on the strange devices on the screen, the steel pillars nailed into the ground, and the strangely shaped magical furnaces that matched them.

"Tower-type magic furnace?" Geros muttered in a low voice.

"I heard that the empire has been promoting related technologies recently," the young partner responded, "Did you know that they went to Estonia not long ago, just to find technical information related to the tower-type magic furnace? It is said that it has something to do with the dragon alchemist."

"Is it related to the antique that Nozpitz found underground?"

The younger partner nodded.

"Another lost technology?" Geros was a little strange, "What do you think it is, a device for making earthquakes, a new type of war weapon?"

"I don't see it as..."

"I don't think so either." Geros shook his head and said, "This year's competition is really strange. Competitors from all over the world chose to experiment with new ideas in the sea of ​​trees. Part of it rises, thanks to the people of the empire who can come up with such an idea..."

While the narrators on the main stage were amazed, Juno Pirio was stepping into the tower, and he didn't pay much attention to the container that contained the dragon soul "Indistinguishable Light"—although that Only Dragon Soul was in the limelight in the last competition.

It can even be said that Loofah reached the final with her, and has since become the rising legend.

But the eyes of the young Imperial Gemini were completely attracted by the object above the throne, which was a piece of emerald, like a twinkling star.It seemed to exist there from time immemorial, without any change, just as the occultists recorded its nature and state at this time.

The fragments of the record, among countless times, are stored in the tower as a moment of stagnation.

"Lone Star of the Tower," Juno murmured, "Luofen, go and record his information."

The FOX students didn't say much, just nodded silently and walked forward.

On the other hand, Georgieffin, the other twin of the empire behind the two, looked a little elated, "I didn't expect our goal to be achieved so easily. Those Colin people must think they are the big winners. They are really a bunch of country bumpkins."

Juno turned and glared at him.

Georgieffin seemed to be quite afraid of his partner, so he didn't dare to refute for a while.

Only then did the former reply, "Stop talking nonsense, go and liberate Misty Light. Although our goal stops here, no one wants to lose in the following games. Those teams from the outer seas are also unreliable. We will probably fight with the Colin people We meet in the Hall of the Holy King."

Everyone else looked at each other before nodding silently.

When the imperial people stepped into the next level, Fang Plover and the others naturally also got a reminder.

But he didn't have too many turmoil in his heart, he just looked up at the guardians of the tower who disintegrated in mid-air—since there was no time limit, they simply chose a safer method.

It is also a more violent solution.

Directly flooded the guards of this giant tower with endless constructs, and the incomparable giant dragon was also unable to fight against the seemingly endless army. After constructing seven sea monsters, three of them were scrapped—and the format After the core of the tower is also turned into parts.

They successfully won the battle.

Then advance step by step, and reach under the tower, there is no tricks in the whole process, and there is no need to answer questions - the gate is only opened because the guardian of the tower has turned into nothingness.At this moment, there was no sound in the main arena, and no one expected that the Colins would announce the end of the game in such a way.

There is no shock more hearty than using force to break cleverness, just like a punch to the front, crushing all doubts with one blow, and smashing those gossips to pieces.Anyone who sees this scene will involuntarily think of the same artisan competition last time.

The sword of the world, the genius of the new generation named Loofah drove the Lord-class battleship, pierced the body of the guardian of the tower with a cannonball, and opened the gate of the main tower behind.At that time, a group of geniuses even took advantage of it.

They didn't completely defeat the guardians, they just broke through the protection of the tower and caused the silver dragon to collapse.

It's not just the audience.

The contestants, including Mu Lan, MTT, Wei Yu and Luo Wei, looked at Fang Plover with an indescribable emotion, and each of them was a temporary choice.

But in this competition, there is always an illusion of insignificance. After witnessing such an overwhelming army sweeping everything, who would not feel unbelievable to the person who made it all happen?

"Ed...?" MTT couldn't help opening his mouth.

"I made some tricks," Fang Plover said to them in a low voice, "I may not need this, but it is good for everyone. I don't want the Colin people to lose their prestige outside, we must get this A complete victory for the game."

In the past, he would definitely not choose to do this.But that is the return of trust, as he said, fame means a lot to him but not much, but it is very different to others in this delegation.

Since everyone is a member of the Clove League, helping others is also helping ourselves.He believes that his efforts will be rewarded at some point in the future.

Since the training camp, his mentality has become more and more mature.

"That is to say, we don't actually need this outside?" Mu Lan asked curiously.

Not so far.

Fang Plover shook his head, not to mention the sea-monster construction, he couldn't even do that piece of goblin dolls.Even the construction of the Valkyrie that he and Weiyu completed together is just a blueprint outside the sea of ​​trees.

Owena and a group of goblin puppets suddenly stopped outside the giant tower.

Fang Plover turned around and asked the other party with puzzled eyes.The Fairy Queen smiled slightly, "We can only stop here, Mr. Knight. After all, we are just a ray of light in this sea of ​​ether. They kept my memory here and left this space. I'm just an ordinary fairy dragon soul, and I can no longer have independent consciousness."

"But you don't have to worry, Mr. Knight," Owena replied with a smile, "Miaoguang and the others are different, and the answer you are looking for belongs to the most peculiar existence here. I believe you will be able to find it." to that key."

Fang Plover was startled for a moment before realizing what the other party meant: "You called me...?"

"Since I know that you have found the answer," Ms. Dragon Soul smiled slightly, "I naturally understand your identity. I will see you later, Mr. Knight."

Fang Plover suddenly felt a little melancholy. He had only known the Fairy Queen for a day, but he learned a lot from her, and he fought side by side to fight against the tide-like army of nightmare creatures in the empire.

If there is any deep feeling, it may not be enough, but I can only watch the other party trapped in this slice of time forever, and her body may no longer exist in the world.Just like everything in this sea of ​​trees.

They are nothing more than the knowledge recorded in the tower, the documents stored in the library, and they are nothing but a ray of light in the ether world, a little bit of star, transformed into what is seen in this world everything of.

But all that is false after all.

"There will be a period later."

Fang Plover replied in a low voice, and walked towards the tower without looking back, leaving everything that originally belonged to this world in the sea of ​​trees.

He only looked up at the tower, passed through the open door, and on the throne, he saw the answer he wanted.

He was a little nervous at that moment, and couldn't help taking a breath—everyone was stopping to look at him, knowing that the other party must have something to rely on for choosing Tower No. What he saw on the Internet was not the image he imagined.

It was just a blob of twinkling light.

It is like an initially indeterminate form hidden in the starlight, a mass of mixed information.

But at that moment, an inexplicable hope arose in Fang Plover's heart, as if he had realized something in the dark, that was all he needed, that answer, that key, that was a piece of information——

Also a memory.

A most precious memory.

He stretched out his hand into the light, a little warmth rose from his heart, and countless information flowed to him, and also flowed through him to a deeper level in his conscious world.

Where--

A flickering silver glow is waking up.

……

　8500 words, I started to make up for what I owed.
