Pillars of Ita

Chapter 1023 354 Antecedents and Consequences

Fang Plover lay between the woolen beds, as if trapped in a soft sea of ​​clouds.There is silence all around, only a faint fragrance permeates the air.It was a faint pine and cypress fragrance, which made him feel like he was in a quiet forest.

There is also a restless little spot on the chest.Make the woolen blanket roll up into a bulge, crawl underneath like a bug, then poke its head out, bark its teeth and claws to make a terrible sound:

"Ouch--!"

Nini jumped out from under the blanket, trying to startle him.

Fang Plover pressed the little guy down with only one finger.

He turned his head and looked at Miss Goblin sitting beside him, "You really remember, Miss Tata?"

Tata sat on the low cabinet at the head of the bed, which was made of solid oak and exuded the smell of old wood.There is an old book on the low cabinet, with the geography of a certain place written on the cover, it is probably Sylvaide's book.

Tata used the book as a sofa, held the handle of the teacup with her fingertips, and nodded in silence for a while.

"Mr. Knight, would you like to hear it?"

Fang Plover looked at Sylviede subconsciously, and asked tentatively, "Sylviede is also here? Because... because Miss Tata is also an important member of the ship."

The Miss Ship Officer's eyebrows were curved, and she smiled lightly because of his clumsiness.She said, "In fact, Miss Tata has already told me about it."

"what?"

Fang Plover was stunned.

Sylvie gently stretched out her fingers, and pressed her index finger, middle finger and thumb against the latter's forehead, pressing him back again.She smiled and said, "Our captain, take a good rest and let Miss Tata tell you that story."

She picked up the cup and plate and straightened up, "I'll go get you some food."

She lifted her skirt and bowed slightly, turned and walked out.The sound of closing the door quickly came from outside, and a series of light footsteps fell outside the corridor.

The room became quiet again. During this moment of silence, the sounds from outside became more and more clear. The bells in the church area, the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.The vines planted by the maid are swaying outside the window pane, a piece of eye-catching fresh green.

Miss Tata's feathery eyebrows were slightly frowned, and it took her a long time before she spoke:

"Miss Sylviede is in a much better mood."

Fang Yan nodded and replied: "Yes, it seems that she has been very happy after leaving Colin-Ishurian and embarking on a journey, and I am also very happy."

Miss Fairy looked up at him.The two are connected in heart, she naturally knew what he was thinking, but she didn't know how to speak for a moment, she just shook her head and said: "No."

"no?"

Fang Qiu was slightly startled.

But he suddenly felt a thought coming from his Miss Dragon Soul, and he couldn't help showing a slightly surprised expression——Miss Ship Officer is so worried?

He fell silent, and there was only a surge of responsibility in his chest. He had promised the ship officer more than once that he would not take any more risks, but it was not that Sylvaide could not understand what the explorer was looking for.

Just like her longing for her father's pursuit, what she asked for was simply not to leave her alone to take risks, and in that tiny emotion, there was another faint worry.

He couldn't help but apologize in silence.

"I'm sorry to make you worry."

"You did nothing wrong, Mr. Knight," Tata replied, "so no need to apologize. I was worried too much."

"Because I was born in Roschel, and I grew up listening to the story between the goblin and the human being. From the darkness came light, so we made a contract with mortals and forged from the light The dragon-slaying sword—"

"Five holy swords, five mortal heroes, and five goblins who accompany them. Goblins have been full of curiosity about the outside world since they were born, and I grew up with that curiosity, learning and reading, Practice the art of magic day after day until you become a keeper of secrets."

"I should have had a hero of my own, and that was also the mission of my birth, because the enemies in the darkness have never been repulsed, but are hidden in every corner of this world, ready to make a comeback at any time. The enemies of the past, must It will come again, and what has been done will happen again."

Miss Goblin was silent for a moment, the thoughts in her eyes seemed to have frozen the weight of time.

She raised her head again, looked at her knight, and said in a tone of reminiscence: "Mr. Knight, would you like to hear me tell that story?"

The story begins in that starry midsummer.

Roschel is surrounded by white trees, the hills are shaded, and the birds are humming. A fairy girl is born.

She is the princess of the goblins, the new eldest daughter of the Chen Yu Xing family, even the mountains and the sacred trees sing for her, and she has been given a name that is in the dark——

Tata - Thumbs Up - Morning Star.

The reason why the mountains and sacred trees sing is because the ancient prophecy has a destination;

The tall minarets reflected the moon, and the clear light flowed over the lake.

A princess is born, she must have her own knight;
And the place where all wishes return is the ancient prophecy of the stars and the moon.

The ancient kings are asleep;

Witness that dream together and turn it into reality.

The silvery tower fell in the sea of ​​fire;
The stars rose into the night sky,
Nightingale hummed lightly.

The door will open again,

The old ways must be repeated.

The fairy princess grew up day by day, but the hero did not appear, and the advancement of technology stagnated. Instead, she saw the eyes of the devil from that silver nightmare.

Alchemy is extracted from the ancient past, and the Numelin elves refined formulas and laws from the Emerald Star, and forged it into swords for mortals to resist the creatures of the dark world.

But the flames of today come from the hammers of old, and the wings of mortals come from the scales of dragons.The technology born in another world will also attract the attention of another world, and use the sword of the future to resist the enemies of the future.

Therefore, the enemy will return.

The third disaster star will be the reappearance of the second disaster star, and after the emerald star, it will be the red fire.

The story told by Tata is a secret kept by the occultists. The elves gradually left this world, and they gave the last sword to the mortals. This 'sword' is a crown.

The name of that crown.

It is called Hailin Crown.

Mortals are not good at magic, they are an ordinary race like dust, but the Twin Sacred Trees have been burned in the sea of ​​fire, and it will take at least 1000 years for the new Terraka to grow, and there will be shadows coming back in the millennium. Winter reappears.

The elves could not wait for that moment to come.

They had to leave this world.It's just that the war with Emerald Star is not over yet, once the door is closed, all that awaits this world is destruction.

So the elves created alchemy, they got inspiration from the emerald star, and refracted the stars into the ether, so the first creation of Atalia was born, doing the deeds of the gods with mortal hands .

The elves saw that this was an ability with infinite potential, and gave it to mortals, hoping that ordinary people would use their own weak power to drive the infinite possibility, and before they returned again——

Resist the attack of darkness.

But 1000 years passed.

The elves didn't come back.

Instead, the Chosen One opened the door to the world.And the mortals have far exceeded the expectations of the givers during these 1000 years, and legendary names have been engraved in that long history.

The two ends of history are the stories of elves and humans, alchemy and dark dragons. The five dragon-slaying swords run through this history, and behind them are the legends of countless mortal heroes.

From the First World War that laid the curtain on the Clover Plain, to the present day 1000 years later.

Many years have passed.

Fang Yan finished listening to the story quietly, but the story was not finished, only half.However, the dark dragon in the story is lifelike, and the golden pupils in the smoke are like flames burning.

The icy bed stretched gently on his back, as if it was the biting cold wind from the north, but it didn't make him feel cold.The wool blanket on the bed is like dragon scales, delicate and warm.

It took him a long time to recover from the illusion, and asked softly, "So the elves really went to the door?"

Behind the door is the third world.

He didn't feel sorry for the departure of the Numelin elves, because he had never seen that era, nor had he seen the real descendants. Today's Avenquin and Loya elves are not the same as their ancestors .

Legend has it that the elves are the people of the Ether of Light. They are one of the races that are most adept at magic besides the dragons, and even established an elf court that is comparable to the Sinthas Snake Empire.

The holy white tree standing there once favored the elves for several centuries, until disaster struck and the world collapsed.

Everything is like reincarnation——

The Black Throne descends, and ancient kingdoms are reduced to ashes in a sea of ​​flames.

But today, people can still glimpse its glory from the remains of the past.The relics of the Sinthas era are often hidden underground, as mysterious and profound as the inheritance of the snake people.

The remains of the elves are grand and magnificent, coexisting with the forest, but you can still find the old prosperity from among the mottled stone pillars. It once lived with the snake empire at the end of an era.

And also annihilated in history.

But what Fang Plover was curious about was that the Gate of Heaven really existed. It turned out that the Silver Tower had already known that the Numelin elves left through the gate and never returned to this world.

So what Sir Mawei is looking for is not a delusion. The third world does exist, but what is the next world after the door? Are the elves still there?
Since the discovery of the first land bridge and the rise of exploration activities, it has been nearly half a world since the real opening of the second world; and now the exploration of the sky bridge is in the ascendant, and he must not miss it again.

That may be the only chance of their generation in a lifetime.

But the Seven Seas Traveler has not yet really started to talk about sailing and anchoring, and it is still too early to talk about that, and Fang Plover narrowed his thinking back to more realistic issues.

He asked: "Miss Tata, is it true that alchemy first came from Green?"

Miss Goblin nodded slightly.

"I retrieved the missing memory from the tower, and that memory told me so."

"To be precise," she replied softly, "the elves' understanding of the nature of starlight comes from a world of shadows. That world has long since disappeared in the verdant world, leaving only a piece of dry land."

A thought subconsciously rose from Fang Plover's mind.

He had seen that world before, in the illusion that Alyssa had shown him.That was the birthplace of the shadow people, and he thought it was under the deep sea at first, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

But if Alyssa is also a dark dragon herself, then it is normal for her to come from that world.

Although she said that it was not her memory, she herself was a new generation of dark dragons born in Altaria, and the dragon's memory came from her blood, and what she inherited might be the memory of her ancestors.

He suddenly realized.

The floating ships of the shadow people and the creatures of the nightmare furnace are all so similar to the alchemy structures of this world. It turns out that they have the same origin.Alchemists are only using the power of the enemy to fight against the enemy.

So……

Is the star device actually?

Some thoughts flooded into his mind, connecting the original scattered clues together, the empire's research on the star device - he originally thought it was related to the cultists.

But he did also get an unfinished device from the remnants of Holfen College 20 years ago. Sir's old servant couldn't recognize what it was, but he recognized it.

That is the star device.

So in fact, nearly half a century ago, related technologies had been spread in the empire. At that time, margin skills and multiple parallelism were still unknown terms.

In fact, in the alchemy revolution of the empire, related shadows can be seen in all aspects.The new series of 'Centaur Annihilator' in his hand can clearly see the application of some related technologies.

He has to suspect that what he sees now may actually be the result of the promotion of technology half a century ago.

But what does all this have to do with the sunken ship under the misty sea?
No.

A flash of lightning flashed across Fang Plover's mind—it should have been earlier.

He suddenly remembered a crucial detail. He had seen the multi-star device in another place, that is, under the large mining area of ​​Nozpitz, in the underground laboratory left by the three talented craftsmen of the empire.

That one... the organ left by Jeldom.

His heart was shocked, and he had an enlightened thought, "If those three talented alchemists found the fragments of the Verdant Star underground, then it makes sense for them to get continuous inspiration from the Verdant Star—"

Because the creation of the elves originated from the essence of the stars and starlight seen in the green star.

turn out to be--

This is the original reason for the star installation.

Then everything after that...

He looked up, only to find that Tata was also looking at him with calm eyes, "Mr. Knight thought about it too."

"Yes, I have already thought of it." Fang Plover nodded.

The essence of alchemy is to recognize starlight, let it shape elements into necessary things, and only ether is consumed in the shaping process, and that is the origin of the starry sky seen by alchemists.

It used to come from the green, but after being transformed by elves and mortals, alchemy is fundamentally different from the world of shadows it was born in.

"The filmmakers draw the power of the world to shape everything, and the whole world has been conquered by them," Tata replied quietly, "But Mr. Knight, do you still remember that I once said that the inner and outer essence of the star gate is information? exchange."

"What the chosen ones brought to this world is actually new vitality."

"The total amount of information exchanged between the two worlds has not decreased, but has increased. The old starlight has been silenced, but new starlight is always born. Even those worlds that have sunk under the deep sea, some One day it will rise again."

"but……"

Fang Plover had actually seen the final result.

"The film people have exhausted the last trace of vitality in their world," Tata nodded, "so their world has become a completely dry world, and they themselves have turned into fragments. They are not immortal, but Never alive, we can't kill a fragment of them at a certain moment, but they will eventually die with the world."

Fang Yan had already fully understood why the imperial people were interested in the tower-type magic furnace. The truth turned out to be so simple.

The technical inheritance of those three geniuses has not been cut off, and the empire has been using it from the beginning.

It's just that the more technology he obtained from the green star, the closer he was to the original technology origin of the filmmakers. He finally understood why the emperor broke his promise, and made up his mind to burn the joint achievements of the three of them.

Because that is drinking poison to quench thirst.

It was not a new era, but a repetition of the mistakes of another world.

"The people of the empire are playing with fire..." Fang Yan reacted, "Aoona didn't see the complete truth because of her body. That Emperor His Majesty should be right. He learned from those techniques Only when you see hidden worries in your life will you make up your mind to do such a thing.”

"It's just...the Emperor's Majesty should not have made up his mind to destroy those materials in the end. After the people who experienced that era passed away, someone must have picked up those researches again. The star device...the new technological revolution of the empire... …hence these things…”

But Tata shook his head, "He shouldn't have seen that far. What His Majesty the Emperor saw should be another hidden worry."

Fang Qiu was slightly startled.

"Remember the story I told before, Mr. Knight," Miss Goblin said, "Today's flames come from the hammers of the past, and the wings of mortals come from the scales of dragons. Technology born in another world , will also attract the attention of another world, and use the sword of the future to resist the enemies of the future."

"So, the enemy will return."

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you.

The alchemy given by the elves to mortals only repelled the darkness, but did not completely eliminate the disaster of the disaster, so the war with the dark dragon continued for hundreds of years after that.

The verdant is torn apart and turned into countless fragments, but anyone who obtains power from the verdant will surely make the disaster come again.However, after only 1000 years, the third cursed star approached Altalia's orbit again.

"What is the nature of the evil star, we have no way to know," Tata shook his head, "but there are countless worlds behind it, dark dragons, naga and giants, and shadow worlds, they all come from different worlds. Boundary."

Whenever a disaster strikes, dark creatures will step through the gate between the two worlds and come into this world.

Tata narrated those stories from her own memory, and Fang Plover listened fascinatedly, except for a little girl under the cashmere blanket, who was lifting the quilt and secretly looking at her 'Papa'.

Then hide it back again.

"So, the occultists have always known this, they are just keeping a secret," Fang Yan asked softly, "The several technical routes they have been advancing for centuries have actually been for that Prepare for the decisive battle that is bound to come?"

Miss Goblin sat upright and nodded slightly.

"Not only the occultists, but also the Silver Helmets, the Scroll Knights, the Light Bearer, and the oathkeepers you have met. Those people have kept their oaths year after year. Isn't it for the coming of that day? ?”

She whispered: "Do you still remember, Mr. Knight? Don't forget the dead enemy."

Fang Plover was a little silent.After a while, he asked again: "But what happened to the fire in the Silver Tower, and why did the geniuses Helinwell in the Northern Empire era become the leader of the sixth technical route later? A student of a great alchemist, what does Hein-Fam have to do with this matter?"

"You just said that the original essence of the creation technique is actually stored in Hailin's crown. I can roughly understand it, because Cang Zhihui and the green fragments have the same power from the same source. But who will half Hailin's crown?" The crown was brought to the ruins of the Dragon Roaring Mountains, what is the connection between it and the Type Zero crystal below?"

Miss Fairy listened to his description quietly, then shook her head.

It's just that the story after the fire is also a mystery to her.It's not that her memory is still incomplete, but that she has been sleeping in that Hailin crystal since then, until she met him.

"Mr. Knight, I was originally part of this plan," Miss Tata said softly, that voice sounded more like the Dragon Soul lady in the tower, "I originally had a destined hero, he He will be the master of that dragon knight."

But she didn't wait for that hero.

But she waited for Mr. Knight, who belonged to her.

Fang Plover listened to the end of the story silently.

He suddenly felt in his heart that he was extremely lucky. Fortunately, he had been to this world. Fortunately, he had chosen his own destiny, and met many important people in his life.

Every name will become the most important and precious memory for the rest of his life.
