Pillars of Ita

"Is this...?" Dalil's voice was soft, revealing a bit of surprise. The fluorescence of the crystal made her palms turn white, and the scattered light spread on the rough stone wall.

The paint that seems not to fade with time depicts such a scene on the stone wall. A huge black meteorite hangs alone in the sky, occupying almost the vast majority of the mural, and is full of a sense of oppression. Below the meteorite are city-states, people, the empire of snake people, and some inconspicuous details - such as an obelisk.

Everyone turned back to look at Odais, and the goddess shook her head, "The history of the Xinsas era is covered in dust. No one knows what happened in that era. The pirate king once passed by here. There is a secret passage under the corridor behind the stone wall, which can lead to the underground kingdom."

"Even God, does he have things he doesn't know?" Tianlan couldn't help but ask.

Odais glanced at her and said, "There are gods too, but they are not truly omniscient and omnipotent. The elves call the stars in the sky Orin, and the morning stars of the saints look down on them, representing the embodiment of a certain law in this world. But outside that realm, they will actually perish and be afraid of eternity."

Tian Lan seemed to understand. But behind her, Fang Yu also took out a luminous magic crystal and held it up high, and came closer, but the light reflected the details on the wall, and Alyssa suddenly discovered something: "Look," Miss Nightingale pointed at the stone wall and suddenly said : "What seems to be in the meteorite?"

"That's the Black Throne," Fang Plover said, "'The Burning Throne fell from the sky and started the era of strife in the Sinsas Snake Empire. Seven dynasties and various kingdoms conquered each other, burning out the human and 'The blood of the gods', this is a well-known metaphor, generally believed to be the arrival of the first evil star that destroyed that fertile era and caused the seven serpent kingdoms of Xinthas to fall apart."

Inside the black meteorite on the mural is a sleeping giant, with its body curled up and its eyes half-closed, revealing a trace of golden fire. "But it looks more like a dragon," Parker whispered.

"The dragon is the image of power," Jita spoke at this time. She looked up at everything on the mural and explained in a low voice, "It symbolizes a certain kind of authority. After the death of the dark star of disaster, this authority has Divided into seven, knowledge, elements, life and death, ether (and three lost titles of death), the seven powers represent the seven thrones. The snakemen of Xinthus fought for these powers, and the battle lasted for hundreds of years. Turmoil brought Xinthus' time to decline."

"Do you think this is like now, at this moment, just like that time?" Dalil suddenly said, "The greenery has also left power. Aren't the Oshu people plotting against it? Power may still be a conspiracy. , it makes the mortal world unable to unite."

"Even if there is no green," the maid standing next to Sylvester said in a rare voice, "the mortal world cannot be united."

Cui Xisi on the side listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but fell silent.

"But look at the snake men below. They seem to be kneeling towards the sky with their hands raised. I have seen such a posture somewhere. It is a kind of ritual," Jita said, staring at the mural on the stone wall. And those seven obelisks...their positions should have meanings. This is a summoning ceremony. Was the first evil star summoned by the snake people?"

"How is this possible?" Miss Catman's eyes widened. As the name suggests, the Disaster Star is the source of all disasters in Aitaria. It has destroyed all eras, from the first disaster star to the green one that follows. , the two most powerful empires collapsed.

Several continents also sank under the abyss.

The lizard people in the Great Rainforest cherish the era of the snake people very much. Although they once existed as slaves in the Sinsus Empire, the lizard people admired the Sun Saints and also established a brilliant empire after the destruction of the Sinsus Empire. civilization.

They believe that the 'saints' (gods of the Solar Age) formulated the laws of the stars and sacrificed themselves to resist the invasion of the Black Throne. They once resisted the invasion of darkness outside the world, but in the end they failed -

However, the saints left a prophecy, which foreshadowed the way for the worlds of Aitaria to finally defeat the evil star. This prophecy was divided into several parts and was widely circulated in the world of Kukai, about the sea of ​​light, dark blessings and The prophecy of the seven obelisks is part of this.

The mortal world does not fully believe these ancient prophecies, but some of them are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At least the fall of the saints of the Sun Age is certain - the founder of the Temple of the Stars, the King of the Orin Gods, the Sun God Ori is a survivor from the previous era.

But the Lord of Light has been silent about the previous era, and the God of the Sun has actually experienced a rebirth. It is rumored that he returned from the exhausted sea of ​​light and reawakened the starry sky and laws of Etalia. power - to re-establish order once again.

After that, the era of the Numerin elves was established. The elves worshiped the stars and astronomy was extremely prosperous, which continues to this day. The Tower of Stars and Moon and the astrologers are the remnants of the previous era.

The Snake People are the representatives of the "Saints". They fought against the Black Disaster under the guidance of the "Saints" until the fall of the first era. The Snake People's empire also fell into a power struggle because of the loss of guidance, until the collapse of civilization. .

But if the mural is true, then at least one of it and the past history is a lie. If the first disaster star is really summoned by the snake people, then they are the ones who started the disaster in Aitaria.

There was silence in the hall for a while, except for the faint sound of dripping water.

Everyone was a little silent, and they didn't know whether the former pirate king had seen this mural and what he thought, or whether he didn't pay attention at all and just left the place and went deeper underground.

Miss Caster Adni stood beside everyone, looking up at the light of the crystal that cast long shadows between the stone pillars in the hall. Those shadows lingered between the stone walls like claws and fell on the murals. For a moment, he couldn't help but think about his father, and fell into silence.

"Wait, is this...possible?" the Papalar couldn't help but ask.

"...It is true that such a possibility cannot be ruled out," Alyssa whispered: "This can also explain why the Snake Empire fell apart due to the fight for the 'Seven Thrones'. If that power was originally summoned by them... …That all makes sense.”

She looked at Cuisi beside her.

The story of the Rebellion of the Seven Kings is well-known in Aitaria, but the original power represented by the seven thrones was told to them personally by this young lady. It is obvious that the empire knows more about the secrets above.

Miss Nightingale couldn't help but think of the imminent war deep in the rainforest.

"Don't look at me," Cui Xisi came back to her senses, shook her head and said: "Those different origin powers contain some kind of blessing, just like the blessing of the elements. The empire is cultivating potential power in order to one day I can escape from this world. But I don’t know the deeper things, including what you call...the power of green..."

"Escape from this world?" Dariel asked.

"The astrologers predicted that the destruction of Aitaria has become inevitable. The end is approaching, and the empire must find a means of escape." Trixis hesitated, but finally decided to tell the truth.

She knew it was no secret to these people.

But the effect of an open secret being told was completely different. Even Tian Lan looked a little stunned: "Is there no other way?" She asked quickly: "Even the empire just wants to escape? But how do they plan to escape? There are hundreds of millions of people in the entire empire."

"Maybe it's the rise of Xinta'an," Fang Plover replied: "If not all of it, then at least part of it. The empire has already been strengthening the floating continent through magic circles all over the territory. Their plan should be just a few steps away. That’s all.”

Cui Xisi looked at them in surprise, "So you already knew...?"

"Originally, I only knew part of it," Fang Plover said, "but I didn't know the details, such as how the empire planned to raise Xinta'an, and most importantly, where to escape to?"

If the sea of ​​clouds itself were to be burned to ashes.

So, what's the point of even putting Sinta into the sky?

But at this moment, when he looked at the seven obelisks on the mural, he understood something in his heart: "But now, I probably understand..."

The seven obelisks are the secret to opening the 'Gate'. It is rumored that through them and the four holy objects, one can lead to the third world. However, whether it is the third world or a brand new world, the 'Gate' seems to be a metaphor for a space passage. .

It is impossible for Xinta'an to go to the second world through the World Steps, not to mention that the second world may also be affected when the disaster star comes. If the entire Aitaria falls, then the second world is likely to be downgraded. .

But the Imperials seem to firmly believe that the seven obelisks can take them to a new world, or in other words, do the four sacred objects left by the Numerin elves for the mortal world contain any hidden meanings?

Furthermore, after repelling the green, the Numelin elves left Aitaria as a whole, but their footprints never appeared in the second world. Where did the Numelin elves go?

Have they already left a way of escape for the world?

In this way, it seems understandable that the Super Competitive Alliance, different countries, so many guilds and the Stargate Port have mobilized such manpower, even returning from the second world to find the whereabouts of the seven obelisks. .

Fang Yu organized his thoughts before telling them one by one.

Trixis was first surprised when she heard this, then turned silent, and finally couldn't help showing a look of shock: "...So you inject the flow of magic power from the empire into the great crystal veins,...you can infer that the empire is in the Gay Transformation Tower An lower earth elemental realm...?"

She was speechless for a moment: "...but...but, even then, there are many possibilities. How can you accurately guess how the ether veins passing through Xinta'an are sorted out...?"

"After all...you have never entered...the crystal network of the Oshu Craftsmen Association...?"

"There is some element of speculation in this," Fang Plover replied, "But I can first hypothesize that the crystal network will eventually be reflected in the etheric sea. Of course, mortals cannot see the boundless and vast sea of ​​magic. But you can understand what’s going on in some of the little details.”

"...But I came here to investigate the empire's crystal network, so I learned more about this aspect. There have been more than one subsidences in Nozpiz's underground. This was actually caused by changes in the groundwater level; and later it was revealed I understand that this situation is not unique to Nozpiz. Of course, more importantly... the Guy crystal reserves of all air and land are declining, but only Xintaan's Guy index is rising..."

"This is in line with the overview of the network theory in the Introduction to Ether. The empire is intercepting one of the several major crystal networks across Etalia. The incident that happened in Elpaxin was just a small episode. . To be precise, the empire was unable to suppress a certain node in the plan, which resulted in them having to open a portal in advance in the northern border of Kaolin-Ithurion——"

He paused.

"This accident caused the empire to abandon at least three crystal towers in the crystal network. This delayed the process of their plan, but it also verified part of the feasibility, that is, the door to space can indeed be opened."

Fang Yu raised his head and looked at everything on the mural.

That inference involves at least two secrets. At present, he still doesn't know what kind of agreement has been reached between the magic emperor and the shadow man. Is the 'door' opened above El Paxin a preview? Not only It is a preview that the 'Shadowman' can return to this world again.

More importantly, the rehearsal door itself can be given meaning.

If the door to another world could indeed be reached...

Cui Xisi was silent for a long time after hearing what he said, and then looked at Fang Pliong and suddenly said: "They all said that you will become one of the most outstanding alchemists of this era. I was not convinced in the past, but maybe I understand now... …”

"them?"

"The people in the Imperial Workshop, those top 'masters', those who built the upper level of Oshur alchemy, even Amarshet Fontaine think so," Trish said lightly: "Of course, outstanding alchemists There are too many, the King of Gray, the Queen of Constructs, and those alchemists who dominate the S-League, who is not outstanding?"

"But they don't see it that way. You should know that the aborigines actually don't think much of crash courses like ours, because everything we have depends on our system, and we are nothing without the system," Cui Xisi looked at him , "But you are different."

If it were her, she would never be able to analyze what the Imperial people are doing from these clues. This has nothing to do with intelligence or keen observation, but an understanding of the nature of ether.

The abilities of the chosen ones all come from the system, but the system will only give them abilities, but it will not tell them where the abilities come from. When they leave this world, the equivalent exchange will be completed.

The Stargate takes back its power, and they gain the same information.

She couldn't help but think of the rumors from the outside world. This Dragon Alchemist was more like a genius trained by the military.

But Cui Xisi can be sure at this moment that her captain is definitely not a white glove from Stargate Port in the third division. There are some things that even the military recruiters will not go deep into. What they need are qualified soldiers. .

He is not a scholar who studies deeply——

Fang Yu was also a little surprised. His two meetings with the great alchemist of the empire were not pleasant. He even thought that the alchemy world of the empire was nothing more than this. But I didn't expect that the other party would comment on me like this in private.

However, his understanding of ether theory came from his study period with Kapka. Due to the lack of systematic help, he had to start from the most basic things. Those things later became his interest and he still hasn't put it down until now.

However, with the help of Miss Tata, he does seem to be able to understand the true face of the etheric sea better than ordinary people. Those abstract concepts exist in the space of his imagination, just like reality.

Just like what his two teachers, An Luoser and the president of the Southern Alchemist Association, said about him, he is very keen on the nature of ether and is a natural alchemist.

But after all, everyone's purpose is to come for the Pirate King's treasure house, or to come for the lost ether node. After no more clues were found in the murals a few eras ago, the somewhat impatient Papalar people He quickly turned his attention to the corridor behind.

He walked to that place, pushed open the loose stone door, and then said to everyone: "I said, everyone, should we move on?"

He continued: "Those guys with forked tongues will not come back to life to tell us what happened thousands of years ago. Unless they really buried some treasures down here, there seems to be no point in us being here. ?”

These words reminded others, and everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Odaisi on one side.

Except for the beginning, the goddess did not participate in this discussion, but she only waited silently on the sidelines without any urging. At this time, she only nodded lightly when faced with everyone's inquiries.

The corridor could lead to a vast underground world, but before leaving with the others, Fang Pultru couldn't help but hold up the glowing crystal and took two steps closer to the stone wall, and took one last look at the murals on the wall.

His eyes fell on the falling star pointed by the seven obelisks. The dark star was like an open door, leading to an endless unknown world in the whirlpool. The world behind the 'door', Numelin The world that the elves go to...

Is it really what people want?

His sight finally rested on the curled dragon, with scales like burning black flames standing sharply, its wings and tail folded together into a cocoon-like pattern. There was a hint of golden flame under the half-closed eyelids, which gave him a familiar feeling.

But it was not Nicol Bolas, nor was it the dragon king Lifgard. It was even different from any dark dragon he had ever seen, but it still made him feel a little familiar.

That feeling seemed to be separated from his mind in an instant, causing him to fall into a panic whirlpool, falling deeper and deeper into the dark world, as if he was about to sink into a bottomless abyss.

It wasn't until a hand held him that Fang Yu came back to his senses with horror and found that the goddess was looking at him with concern: "Are you okay?"

Fang Yu broke into a cold sweat and shook his head: "That is?"

"I guess you saw a corner of your heart through that mural," Odais replied. "The power given by the world has thousands of images. If you indulge in it, you will inevitably make the same mistakes as the snake people."

Fang Yu touched his heart with some lingering fear. Asuka's priest once gave him a blessing. The dark blessing came from one of the seven original powers pursued by the snake people - the throne of darkness. The crown of knowledge - I don’t know if the experience just now has anything to do with it.

But he knew very well that it was Odais who saved him, otherwise his chance of resurrection would have to be handed over to this place. However, these snake-man ruins are too weird, and he has never encountered such an experience.

Fang Yu said thanks: "Thank you, goddess."

Odais shook her head, "You're welcome. The Snake Man's empire has sunk into darkness, and its glorious history has been buried under it. The deaths of the 'saints' have formed a gloomy world, and mortals are walking between life and death. It is inevitable that you will stumble and fall into it at the intersection of the world. Let’s go and try not to look at things that are unfamiliar to you.”

After listening to these words, Fang Yu suddenly thought of the names in today's darkness. Most of them came from the dead remains of the gods in the Sun Age. After the death of the gods, they formed the dark gods of death. Isn't this the case with the gods of the lizard people? ?

If the Snake People built seven obelisks to summon the First Disaster Star, then as agents of the 'Saints', were their actions also approved by the Sun Gods? What role did the 'saints' of the past play in this?

Have they returned from the darkness, or have they readily accepted the promise from the 'Dark Throne'?

The history of the Snake People is hidden behind many mysteries, but Fang Pliance no longer dares to think about it in detail. He knows very well that the 'names and taboos' mentioned in his thoughts may have attracted attention in the darkness.

He didn't want his world of thought to be peered into by mysterious eyes. The power under the abyss was so mysterious and evil that it was difficult to describe. At this moment, Fang Yu noticed that Odais had set up a protective wall beside a group of people, and immediately realized that this goddess was Protecting yourself.

He looked at the other party with some gratitude, but the goddess who looked like a female warrior looked over and said: "Calm down your emotions, this is not protection, but avoidance. I don't want to mess with those things, especially in a place like this." .”

Fang Yu quickly calmed down. At this moment, Sylvester was two steps behind. When he got closer, she asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Fang Yu shook his head, not wanting the other party to worry too much about him, and simply said: "It's nothing, but when we go deeper underground, there will be a lot of relics from the Snake Man era. Let others not pay too much attention to the patterns and sculptures in those relics. Be careful there are traps.”

The ship officer lady nodded slightly.

"What is the boundary between life and death?" she asked again.

"It's this place," Fang Yu happened to know this statement. "After the snake people's empire sank underground, it became a unique realm together with their lost 'saints'. It was like a land of death, but it was built on life. This is the land of humans, so it is the place where life and death meet. This is not just a legend, do you still remember our experience in Fenris?"

Sylvide recalled the adventures the two had at that time, which were few memories that only belonged to the two of them. She nodded slightly and smiled.

"The ruins finally sank into the abyss, but there was indeed some unspeakable dark power underneath. It was precisely because of that power that Toragotos became so crazy. It was not originally a head of darkness. A giant dragon, but in the end it degenerated into a green minion——"

"Does that mean there will be danger down here?" Sylvide asked.

"That's probably the case," Fang Plover said, "You can never make a big mistake if you're careful."

The era of the snakemen left behind many mysteries. Even the elves of Numelin have not yet figured out what kind of disasters happened in the previous era. After all, there was a long epoch before that - the great council of the lizardmen rose up in In the rain forest, it later fell apart.

Only some incomplete records on the stone tablets are left.

But even those stone slabs are still dangerous to this day, not to mention the relics inherited from the Sinsas era. The snake people are good at dark sacrifices and have many strange powers. Some of them are cursed and have no good results. eat.

The Papalar people were once infected with a bad luck curse, and he witnessed the unspeakable suffering in the following months. Such curses were already the most gentle and harmless jokes in the past era.

Of course, Fang Yu knew that Odais was reminding him that their research on the mural had actually crossed the line. It was thanks to the goddess's help, otherwise he would have walked away without food.

However, the pirate king once passed here and went deep underground, leaving his treasure behind. This means that there must be a relatively safe road in this ruins - and for some unknown reason, the goddess The adults seemed to be well aware of the existence of this route.

Of course, for a god who protects this island, this may not be anything at all.

Everyone passed through the corridor and immediately entered a vast underground world - it might be the cavity world under the floating island, but even Fang Plover had long been accustomed to exploring Xinta'an's underground world - as if he had arrived in the empire Since then, he has had more than one experience going underground.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but feel spectacular at the sight in front of him.

It is a rolling mountain range formed by the cavity in the ground. The magnificent ancient ruins are located under the 'ridge'. The crystal gray light held high by everyone only outlines part of the mountain wall, and the cliff suddenly disappears in front, forming An unbridgeable gap.

On the other side of the abyss, an ancient city sealed in dust outside the world just lies across the stagnant time. The dust covers everything, as if a certain moment has been frozen in tens of thousands of years in the silent time. Before.

However, the extending mountain cols and the overhanging underground mountains are intertwined, and the ruins in between are more like part of the miniature landscaping in a sand jar. The spectacular ancient city also looks small under the more majestic image.

The underground world is not completely dark. There is a pyramid-like building standing in the center of the city. Fang Plover can see the special existence on the top of the tower at a glance - an obelisk.

The light that pervades the underground world is emitted from that obelisk.

Shining brightly, like an underground sun.

Or a lighthouse.

"Ah, the obelisk!"

Tianlan called out the name in one breath. The Seven Seas Brigade was very familiar with this thing. Fang Plover had seen it once, and Sylvide had seen it once too. Not long ago, they even 'built' one themselves.

Fang Plover also stopped. In fact, he had expected it since he saw the mural above. After all, everything was too similar, the underground world, the relics of the Sinsas snake-people era, and the murals.

If there were no similarities and differences, he almost thought he was back underground in Fenris. If according to the murals, the snake people of Sinsas guarded and built seven obelisks, then there could be such an obelisk below. .

But I didn't expect such a coincidence.

They put on a good show for the imperial people in that valley, but they didn't expect that the obelisk of Oshu was actually not far from Campa, but it was not in Sinta'an itself, but in On the Storm Islands.

And he didn’t expect that this obelisk would be in such a conspicuous place. As soon as he entered the underground world, it came into view——

"We may have thought of one thing wrong," Alyssa suddenly said while watching this scene, "Do you still remember what happened in Fenris? Captain, the chosen ones who were summoned on the island may not be Not because of the goddess Odyss, but because of it.”

Fang Yu nodded. When he saw this scene, he actually also reacted in his heart.

"They are indeed not summoned by me," Odais replied, "I do not have that ability. Only the one who created you has the ability to achieve such an ability across space and time."

"The one who created us?" Tianlan asked in confusion.

"Star Gate." Fang Plover replied.

"So why did Stargate send them here to look for the obelisk?"

Fang Yu shook his head, how did he know this? He only had a vague idea about the obelisks, but how they were connected to the four holy objects and how they opened the door was just a guess.

But the purpose of the Seven Seas Brigade is not actually this obelisk.

In other words, Fang Plover himself is not very interested in the obelisk. Of course he understands its value, but the problem is that he has seen one, and Sylvide has seen one, including this one, there are three in total, but these are all coincidences.

As for the remaining four obelisks, it is almost impossible to find them based on their strength. Not to mention that there are also several obelisks that have been found by major guilds and empire forces. They are in the hands of those major forces and they have almost no chance to see them.

Use existing obelisks to make deals with those big guilds?

He's not that naive yet.

Not to mention that in addition to the obelisk, he also has to collect the four holy objects and the Elven Holy Grail. Among the four holy objects, apart from the Hailin Crown in his hand, which of the four holy objects can he hope for: the Hand of Philosophy, the Eternal Emblem and the Holy Sword of Morning Light? ?

The Eternal Emblem is sleeping under the Ash Tree Temple as the Holy White Tree Heart. It is the core sacred object of the Giant Tree Hill. The Holy Sword of Morning Light is now sent to the second world by Silver Vislan, not to mention that the hand of philosophy is magic. The Emperor's possessions.

Which one is easier to mess with, the Empire, the Kingdom of Corin-Ithurian, or the elves of Tree Hill?

Fang Plover glanced at the shining obelisk, and then looked away. However, he did notice that Sylvide beside him seemed to be a little moved. He turned around and found that the ship officer was staring at that place closely.

Fang Yu felt relieved because of the rumors about the Stairway to the Sea. The seven obelisks and the four sacred objects were the door to the third world. Sylvide's father, who had not been heard from, disappeared for this reason. of.

"If there is a chance," he said, "we can go and take a look."

Since both the treasure house and the obelisk are in the ruins, it's not a big deal to take a look. However, they have to give priority to recovering the ether nodes and find a way to get the Naga family back to the Eye of the Storm.

Otherwise, if the storm rages, not only them, but the entire Northern Territory will be in big trouble.

Sylvester nodded gently, understandingly.

On the other hand, Cui Xisi hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but say: "If there is a chance... Mr. Captain, you must go and print the information on the obelisk... This is very important."

Fang Plover looked at the other party, "Of course I know it is important to the empire, and it is also important to the Sacrament Guild, but Cui Xisi, I don't doubt your words, but is the obelisk really important to us too?"

"Two aspects," Trixis pondered for a moment and said, "It is precisely because it is important to the empire and the Sacrament Guild that it can be used as a bargaining chip. If we can get it, then whether it is negotiating with the empire or with my guild , there will be great advantages. At the worst, we can get many things we urgently need."

"I agree with that," Miss Nightingale nodded, "What's next?"

"Secondly, it has something to do with the Transcendent." Trixis said.

"The Transcendent?"

"This has something to do with the third world," Trixis said. "Although we don't know what restrictions the laws of Ettalia have on us, there are upper limits to the power we can achieve in different worlds, and everyone should be very clear about it."

Everyone nodded. In the first world, this limit was the level limit of level 50.

After level 50, the system for the selector's upgrade is completely different from the rules that people are familiar with now - after crossing the bronze level, there are silver level and gold level, which are pseudo-dragons in the general sense. Knights and Dragoons.

This is for the chosen ones, but it is actually the same for the aborigines. They just don't have a clear and systematic way to draw boundaries between them before they actually become dragon knights.

Those who can reach here are all the best selected by the Star Gate. They are also familiar with everything in the Super Competitive Alliance, and are naturally familiar with the upgrade system of the second world.

Cui Xisi continued: "Characters above level 50, pseudo-dragon knights and dragon knights actually have another title. This title should be familiar to everyone, that is, superiors, because they are superiors who have opened up the boundaries of human beings. The extraordinary existence behind the Silver Gate."

"So the empire believes that in the new world behind the other 'door', there is still an upper limit to power?" Fang Plover asked, "They gave that level a new name, Transcendent?"

"That's not the empire's imagination," Cui Xisi shook her head. "In fact, some top professionals have almost touched that threshold." She looked at Fang Plover, "The seven original powers, seven thrones, and The knowledge that the alchemists gained from the Abyssal Stone Tablets, whether it is multiple parallelism or residual techniques, actually all point to the ultimate path. They are just different manifestations in different career directions——"

"Of course, the world still suppresses our power. No matter what direction we are exploring, we have not really reached that field yet," Trixis added, "But at least the empire can be sure that at a certain era in history - In particular, it may refer to the era when the dark disaster star came, and the transcendent level briefly appeared in our world..."

"The guild speculates that the higher-level power may be brought by the misfortune star. In other words, in the world behind the door, there is at least this level of power. This is also the reason for their inference. "

Fang Yu listened silently, but he was not too surprised. In fact, he had roughly seen some clues from the Green Star. Most of the multiple parallelism and surplus skills came from the same source. The power controlled by the shadow man did seem to have a higher level.

He couldn't help but think of the devastating battle he had seen in his dream.

That is the third level.

That sounds far away from them, but no wonder Trixis showed such an expression after hearing that they had no understanding of the original power under Nozpiz. This may be the difference between free-chosen people and guild-chosen people.

"Because the third evil star will definitely come," Trixis said. "Every guild, empire, and even your people have already planned for a certain moment in the future. Then there will be huge changes in Aitalia. Commander, if you really want the Seven Seas Brigade to control its own destiny, you must prioritize acquiring these important resources."

Fang Yu looked at the girl.

It was Dalil who spoke first: "Aren't you afraid that the guild will pursue you when you tell us this?"

"I won't admit it," Cui Xisi shook her head. "I also hope that you will keep it a secret for me, but I am not willing to follow the crowd. I do see an opportunity in him...the leader. I hope that the team I follow will not be willing to follow the trend." ordinary."

Fang Yu did not take this challenge. In his opinion, it didn't matter whether he was ordinary or not. However, if the Seven Seas Brigade wanted to control its own destiny, it did need to have a certain amount of power. This was a fact that he was already familiar with.

If there is a chance, he will go and see the obelisk. This has nothing to do with the things Trixis said. It is just that it may be related to the door of the third world, the plan behind the empire, and the shadow people. .

That's enough.

Fang Yu waited for Cui Xisi to calm down before speaking again: "Next, let's go into the ruins separately. This ancient city from the Sinsas era is not as simple as it seems on the surface. When it fell, The entire city is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower, and what we see so far is only the top layer."

He looked at the ruins in the distance. Naturally, he got this information from the goddess.

"Ah?" When Tianlan heard that the troops were going to be divided, she immediately felt a little scared, "Can't we be together? Isn't there a goddess to guide us?"

"But I can only guide you so far." Seeing everyone looking at her, Odaisi said quietly: "I have never entered this ruins. Coming from the border between life and death, there is a world that is completely different from ours. Even I can’t understand all of the laws.”

She continued: "But then, I will also join you in the search."

"Then I want to team up with the goddess." Miss Poet said immediately, thinking on her knees, she understood that among these teams, it is naturally the safest to move with a god.

"No," Dan Fang plover shook his head, "You and Dariel, Alyssa, Trixis and Sylvide are in a group. Your group will explore the top level of the ruins. This is outside the ruins and should be relatively safe."

There is not much time left for them. If the Naga family and the Empire have arrived on the island, they may find the underground ruins at any time. According to Odaisi, there is not only one entrance to the underground ruins on the island.

Although the Seven Seas Brigade dispatched a lot of manpower this time, if it collided head-on with the imperial sword-wielding fleet or the main force of the Naga clan, it would not be that easy to deal with, and it might even be a disaster.

So they must hurry up.

"Oh," Tian Lan could only nod her head. Fortunately, the upper area was all within the illumination range of the obelisk. In her opinion, it was quite safe. Moreover, the companions Darier and Miss Nightingale were both good hands, not to mention the ship. The stewardess is also very reliable.

Fang Yucai looked at Luo Hao and the others again: "Luo Hao, Box, Parker, you three will work together. Jita will go with you. Miss Adni will lead the way for you. You must protect her. Your mission is to search the middle level of the ruins." .”

Luo Hao nodded.

Fang Plover finally looked at Odais: "Goddess, take me to the lower level of the ruins."

Odaisi nodded lightly when she heard this.
