Pillars of Ita

Chapter 1039 Act 366 Empire Rainstorm I
The hunter's hut seemed a little silent, but in fact he was not alone here.

Fang Plover could feel those subtle thoughts lingering on him, and a calm gaze passed him, staring at the earth elemental puppet.

He knew that his Miss Dragon Soul had arrived.

Fang Yan suddenly asked: "Miss Tata, do you still remember the past?"

A gentle voice immediately responded: "Is it the memories you share with Mr. Knight?"

"No, it's the past when Miss Tata was a fairy before she became a dragon soul."

Tata was silent for a while before nodding lightly, "I still remember some of the laughter in the forest, Roschel's beautiful palace, the autumn in the hills, and the silver light in the river bend... But Mr. Knight Why do you ask about this?"

"I was wondering," Fang Plover replied after a moment of pondering, "Why did Miss Tata, who used to be a goblin, become Miss Tata now and come to me?"

How did the Silver Tower make all that happen?

He was asking, what kind of courage did she use to make that decision?

Tata shook his head, "Actually, it's not as complicated as Mr. Knight thinks, it's just to fulfill a promise."

Fang Plover thought of Friston. "Miss Tata, is the method of shaping the soul left by Friston somewhat similar to the technical route of the Silver Tower?" he asked.

"The method of creating artificial dragon souls in the Silver Tower is not that complicated," Tata replied, "I am no different from the birth of ordinary dragon souls. The biggest difference between artificial dragon souls and natural dragon souls is that natural dragon souls are born to master domains. ability, and the artificial dragon soul, people generally use soul crystals to induce it."

Fang Plover naturally knew the process.

It is a natural ether crystal with strange power. Before it was discovered in the second world, this crystal only appeared in Ai Suo Lin.After the disaster of Azsolin, people recovered some from the deep sea - no one knows where these crystals come from, but the powerful power conceived in them only knows the only way to use them ——That is, it is used to shape the dragon soul.

There are six types of ether crystals in nature. In addition to the corresponding four element types and non-attributes, there is also a type of light crystal.To shape different artificial dragon souls, you need to use soul crystals of different attributes, and for higher-level abilities like the "gray domain", you need to use light crystals.

The Fairy Dragon Soul is even more special.

Only non-attribute crystals can be used.

Similar to the development of non-attribute crystals, alchemists encountered the same troubles when facing the technical route of the goblin dragon soul. Everything in Atalia is shaped by elements, whether it is mortals or goblins , other magical creatures, everything has elemental adaptability.

Even the so-called inadaptable person is not really inadaptable. Strictly speaking, it should be called recessive elemental adaptability, which means that the element bias is too weak to adapt to most elements magic.

The same is true for Fang Plover himself. He is a stowaway and has not been endowed by the star gate, but as long as he is contaminated with starlight, he must have some kind of fitness, but that kind of fitness is too weak to be manifested, and naturally he cannot Become a combat professional.

It is one of the rules of this world that souls with element attributes cannot use soul crystals without attributes.

The method of the Silver Tower is to transform the soul, because since there are non-attribute crystals in nature, there must be non-attribute souls. As one of the races with the purest elemental adaptability, goblins are naturally the most suitable to participate in this plan.

The queens of the elves voluntarily participated in this plan and offered themselves voluntarily, which is why he saw so many elves and dragon souls in the space of the sea of ​​trees.

Except for Tata, most of them are not real souls, but the records recorded in the tower by the occultists, which are a memorial to the forerunners.

"The biggest difficulty encountered by the Silver Tower is actually one of the two ultimate questions of the Soul School," Tata continued on this topic, "The soul cannot be transformed, and it is always frozen at the moment it is recorded."

She seemed to have experienced everything in the Winter Solstice Tower with Fang Plover, and silently praised: "Friston is worthy of being the founder of this school. He was the first to raise these two problems and solved one of them himself. And in the Winter Solstice In the tower of the solstice, another solution to the problem is proposed. It is only a trick to use the tower of winter solstice to divide one's soul into two, but soul migration can be said to have the possibility of bypassing the second problem sex--"

"It's just that this kind of shaping is very expensive. It requires a soul to sacrifice itself. Memory, emotion and experience are inseparable. If one of them is lost, the soul cannot be called existence."

Fang Yan stared at his Miss Dragon Soul.

In different time and space, different people made the same choice.

Tata felt his thoughts and replied: "But we were different at that time. We didn't go to the end, and we didn't see the beautiful scenery at the end. interruption."

"That doesn't make a difference."

Fang Plover shook his head, his noble behavior did not change because of the result.

He roughly understood what Friston wanted to tell him, that the most important part of that inheritance was not this artificial soul, it was just the result of his hundreds of years of calculations and the product of a great genius's self-sacrifice.

And if the soul itself is a collection of emotions, memories, knowledge, and instincts, and if some of them can be transferred, then it becomes possible to design the soul. What is really important and valuable is the alchemy that changed everything. Art -

And this path will lead to the same goal as the other two.

Once an artificial soul becomes possible.

The tragedy that happened to Miss Tata could have been avoided.

That was the best blessing that genius left to him, to this world.

"Does Miss Tata remember all that," he asked again, "everything that happened after the fire?"

Miss Goblin shook her head lightly. She didn't know how she was taken away from the Silver Tower, nor why she fell asleep in that star dagger.

She only knew that when she woke up again, it was that soft voice that woke her up. In that underground church, when she opened her eyes again, she had already met her destined Mr. Knight up.

Fang Yan also recalled the situation at that time, and everything that Miya and Ming told him later, about the origin of the star dagger, it came from one of the fragments of the Hailin Crown, together with the Hailin Crown In that fire was always stolen.

Later, the crown of Hailin appeared in the ruins of the elves, inside the huge structure, and that day he also arrived there with the star dagger, together with Miya.

He was killed by the wolf girl because of some accidental relationship, and was resurrected by the star dagger, and projected into an unknown church in Anjina deep underground.

But his resurrection did not come from the special nature of the star dagger, but only because it was transformed into the inherent ability of the dragon soul crystal. As for why the star dagger has the ability to project people to an unknown area, it is still a mystery.

Miya once told him that she was resurrected by the star dagger in the second world, and was also projected next to Hailin's crown, which seemed to be the innate ability of the star dagger.But he and Miya were on the side of Hailin's crown at that time, why did he project him into the temple of knowledge?
He still remembered the situation at that time, it was in the dead zone, all the resurrection points he could see were dimmed, and the only lighted point was the knowledge sanctuary located underground.

Apart from these, the only information he has is that the star dagger was in the hands of a dwarf merchant before it was obtained by Miya. It would be great if he could meet that dwarf merchant.

However, in the days after that, Fang Plover still stayed in Selva. Although he could immediately go to the Hall of the Holy King to participate in the final of the Continental League, Ms. Ming ruthlessly refused.She told him he had to stay in Selva to recuperate, because it was the second time in a while.

He made himself like this last time at the Spire Trial, and this time he did it again, which made people worry about whether there was something wrong with the body of this Colin-Ishurian genius.

Although Milella's priests came to check and found nothing wrong, it proved that the young man's body is actually very good - even better than ordinary people because of the recovery of the Dragon King's blood.

But the Construct Queen didn't listen to this, and pushed the matter down with a wave of her big hand. The problem with the tower was a matter of the empire, and the players should not be responsible for it.Fortunately, the empire was also reasonable, probably for the sake of this genius, and agreed to continue to postpone the game.

On the part of the empire, this continuation of the term is very quintessential, because in fact, the final of the Hall of the Holy King itself has been postponed for nearly a month.Other delegations complained quite a bit, but fortunately, the imperial family personally allocated a batch of funds from the treasury to support the competition, so that other delegations could continue to travel within the empire.

It is natural for young people to have the opportunity to travel at public expense.

As for the Grande delegation, other people came to visit once. Due to the first round of points, five members of this Colin-Ishurian delegation entered the finals. Except for him, Weiyu , Shui Wuming and Luo Wei were all included in the 30-person ranking.

Fang Yan was a little surprised that the remaining one was from the Guta delegation. He still remembered the name of the young man wearing glasses, Zheng Yongzai.

But Wucun and Xiaoyao stopped in the second round of trials due to various abilities. The Tower of Winter Solstice tests the comprehensive abilities of alchemists, and generalist craftsmen have an advantage here. The young man—Gurland was even more partial, and he was out before the second red door.

However, the people who were dismissed were not too frustrated, and Xiaoyao was even more excited. After all, being able to get here is already beyond the expectations of most of them. This is already the best in the history of the third division. score.

As long as you enter the Hall of Thousand Gates, you will definitely reap a lot of benefits, especially the increase in fame, which is an important qualification for players like them from the Great Guild.As for Gulande, he is still young, and he may have a second or even third chance to participate in the Continental League in the future.

As an aborigine, his experience is very rare.

In the end, the 30-man roster was still dominated by the Empire, but this was not an advantage of the hosts, but the strength of the Empire's alchemy community. They were overwhelmed by Fang Plover in the second round of the team competition.

But Fang Plover's achievements in the Tower of Winter Solstice cannot be counted on the heads of others after all.

When it came time to rely on their personal strength, the Imperials began to show their strengths.

Especially without the results of the second division this year, the Imperials actually occupied a large part of the rankings that originally belonged to Forin and others.

Due to the great glory in the second round of the High Tower Trial, the Artisan Association of the Oshu people finally felt proud. The previous low-key was swept away, and various newspapers belonging to the alchemists also began to report on it.

On the contrary, the "Astrologer" has been quiet recently.

I just briefly reported the news that Fang Plover and Luo Fen tied for first place. Since the empire could not confirm Fang Plover's performance, although they had sent someone to inquire, Fang Plover was beaten to death according to Ming's order and did not speak.

What's more, even if you open your mouth, the competition organizing committee has no way of confirming the accuracy of the information, but even if you calculate Fang Plover's worst grades, it is at least on par with the student of the Gray King.

So they set this result, as long as the Grande delegation does not object, then everything will be peaceful.

Fang Plover really had no reason to object, and he didn't care too much about it.

But what surprised Fang Plender the most was that the people of the empire sent someone to visit him—the twin stars of the empire, the student of the Gray King, and Trixis whom he had met a few times.It was an element of his surprise that the imperial delegation had not yet left Selva.

And the other one is the taller one of the twin stars of the empire - he only remembers Juno, the leader of the twin stars, but the other one really can't remember the other's name.He remembered that guy had met him before entering the Tower of Winter Solstice, and this time the other party showed a hesitant expression.

It made him very strange.

In addition, Princess Brianna also came to see him several times. The first time she met him, Her Royal Highness did not comfort him with soft words, but she gave him a headache when they met, and was very annoyed that he was okay. Make trouble for her, the head of the regiment.

The heroic princess of the Battle of Byrne doesn't care about the honor of Colin-Ishurian. She left Avenquin's Elven Court to participate in the war without anyone's consent. It's because I can't save face.

She has many friends in Corrin's royal family.

Fang Plover didn't dare to talk back to Her Highness the Princess. Her Highness Princess Fenris had taught them a few times in the past. It was a real "shot". At that time, the Seven Seas Brigade combined was not enough for her to fight with one hand.

Of course it's enough for now.

Luo Hao, Box and Luo Yu are not opponents of the big cat man, but according to Mr. Reid, he should be slightly inferior to the princess.

Fortunately, there is also Sylvaide, the miss of the ship officer is almost taking care of him these days, and she almost stays around. When she is resting, she will let Miss Tata watch him, although Fang Plover feels that this kind of care is unnecessary ——I am not really a patient.

But when Miss Ship Officer was there, at least the princess didn’t talk to him so aggressively. He remembered that everything was not like this before—the first time he met the elf princess, the other party was the Battle of Bain Heroine, daughter of Elf King Alanya, unicorn ranger, mistress of Starbow
Surrounded by many halos, she was still a gentle, elegant and generous elf princess.

But after a long time, the situation became a little bit wrong. No wonder some people outside would say that Her Royal Highness actually acted recklessly, not like an elf princess in the 'traditional sense' at all.

Fang Plover didn't know what an elf princess looked like in the 'traditional sense', but looking at Princess Brianne, he felt that he only needed to think about the situation in reverse.He didn't know how Sir Roban could bear it, anyway, he was a little afraid of the heroic princess Her Royal Highness.

And not long after, news came from Jita and Luo Yu, telling him about everything that had happened to Aiyin Brock these days, mainly about the college competition, the case that happened in the Astrology Academy, and the unconscious Lai Brock. La's close friends, as well as Luo Yu's own guesses about all that.

When mentioning Ayin Brock, besides thinking of the Holy King's Hall, Fang Ploy also remembered that there were many unusual events that had happened these days.For example, the ruling of the Scroll Knights was just a unilateral end to the trouble between them and Laila.

In the end, the punishment only fell on the head of the Patrol Cavalry Administration.

But he also had to admit that the family of the Seven Mages might hold a grudge against them and forge grievances with them.The opponent may even be reluctant to let go, and it is possible to attack them again.

Although the Seven Sorcerers family is not always one, there are also internal disputes.However, the ones that favor the Hawke family still have huge influence in the empire.

It's just that the disappearance of Grand Duke Hawke caused huge waves within the empire, making these families careless, but any incident has its timeliness, and the disappearance of the male master is a heavy blow to the Hawke family.

But there are always some other families who are still thinking carefully. After all, the grievances between Ash Lynn and the Empire's magician world are far-reaching. Conclusions are repeated.

After a period of turmoil, these families turned their attention back to Ayn ​​Brock, and back to the academy competition.

Cirrocumulus clouds are towering in the sky, and the horizon is cloudy.

The rainy season in the empire is approaching, and the tiny raindrops flying outside the window have gradually converged into a sign before a heavy rain. It brought Abenand into the city from the foothills of the northern mountains and along the ocean current above the sea off Hanruina. The first rain after summer.

Fang Plover heard the faint sound of thunder, the air obviously became much cooler, and the sound of rain hitting the eaves made a slight noise, which was a bit disturbing, but it was pleasant to listen to carefully.

In the midst of the pattering rain, he folded up the letters from Aiyinbulock on the desk—not from Luo Yu and Jita, the Seven Seas Brigade has its own contact information, and the two worlds Communication can solve the problem of long-distance contact very well.

The letter actually came from the Einbrok Artisan Association, signed by Yayo, who roughly still remembered the two young men they took away from the Stag Principality.The other party said that they brought back a strange thing from the flea market and said that they had the opportunity to let him have a look.

As for the other letter, it came from Friston, the head of the artisan union, formally inviting him to the hall of the holy king. This letter does not belong to him alone, and all qualified people will get a letter from Chairman's autograph letter.

Fang Yan lightly pressed the two letters under his palm.

I thought to myself, it's time to return to Ayn ​​Bullock.
