Pillars of Ita

In a village on the outskirts of Tagli City.

The two alchemists inspected the huge machine for a long time before jumping off one after another, wiped the sweat off their heads, and asked the others: "Have you seen that alchemist, did he really say he was going to Tagli? "

"That can still lie to you, Xiao Yayue, believe it or not, we asked your father to beat you up?"

The villagers complained for a long time, "Speaking of which, the skills of the people in your craftsmen's association are becoming more and more rusty. This machine keeps breaking down, which was not the case before. The adult clearly said that it was just a small problem, but you two spent a long time fixing it. , Xiao Yayue, are you not good at learning?"

The young alchemist didn't feel annoyed when he heard this, and laughed and cursed: "Fart, you can find Dad to try, he is not as good as me. But fortunately, there is that alchemist, thanks to him leaving a check point in the magic furnace, Otherwise we wouldn't have had it so easy."

The companion on the side also nodded in sympathy.

"Anyway, such a powerful alchemist has come to Tagree City, I have to go back and inform the chairman, and I won't stay and play jokes with you."

"Xiao Yayue, stay and have a meal before leaving."

"No, remember to say hello to Dad for me."

……

In Tagree City——

Although he unexpectedly learned that the Lynn family was no longer in Tagli, just to be on the safe side, Fang Plover decided to inquire about more reliable information so as not to make another trip in vain.

Tianlan and Attila were going to purchase supplies, Mei Yi acted as a guard with them, and Zizi went to inquire about the legendary craftsman by himself.

So Fang Plover took Luo Yu, Ji Ta, Parker and Miss Nightingale with her to go out.

Naturally, Sylvaide was also with them.

Rhett still stayed to watch the ship, regardless of Tianlan's loud ridicule of him as a big lazy cat, the weather was fine, anyway, Mr. Big Cat moved a chair on the deck first.

Dry your mane and light a pipe.

That's Leo's favorite pastime.

The maid was cleaning the ship, while Baggins and Luo Hao were doing routine maintenance. In fact, after Fang Yan became the captain, most of the logistical maintenance work was transferred to the latter.

Fang Plover went to the Adventurer's Guild first.

Just like the craftsman's guild, adventurer's guilds are spread all over the continent, but the adventurer's guilds in different places do not govern each other, and often operate independently.

The Adventurer's Guild is where the news circulates, and it really allowed them to get the exact information:

The Lynn family moved out of Targary about 15 years ago, because part of the property was handled by the guild, so the adventurer's guild happened to have information about the date.

As for the unsold real estate outside the city, according to the guild, it is actually the location of Holfen College, but that place has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no news that it has recruited students since then.

According to the information in the hands of the Adventurer's Guild, it is not that no one is interested in the real estate of Holfen College these years, but the guild has never contacted anyone from the Lynn family. In fact, even people from the Lynn family have Not going back there to see is still a problem.

The news disappointed Fang Plover.

He walked back and exchanged a glance with his Miss Ship Officer, both of them were speechless.

It turned out that the Lynn family had moved away for 15 years.No wonder the locals couldn't remember such an academy. After all, Holfen Academy recruited mages.

And they are almost all in the countryside along the way, and there are not many magicians in the countryside, let alone it was more than ten years ago.

But why did the good ones move away, or did something happen between them?But the Lynn family still had time to deal with the assets in the city, and it sounded like they had just left the city normally.

Sylvaide also smiled apologetically when she heard the words: "It seems that I gave the captain a bad idea this time."

"That's not your fault."

Fang Plover shook his head.

Miss Nightingale clicked her tongue in a weird way.

On the other side, the president of the craftsman association in Tageri was learning from his subordinates that a third-level alchemist had arrived in Tageri. He couldn't help being surprised and asked: "What you said is true? People in this world won't get it wrong, right?"

"Master President, why are we making jokes like this when we have nothing to do?" In the Artisan Association, Yayo put away his relaxed expression and looked serious, "The people in the village deal with our people every day, and they must not be mistaken. What's more, the stars can be counted wrong, but the third-level alchemist is..."

"Hailin Chenxing, I understand..." The head of the craftsmen's association rubbed his chin. The machine in the village was sent from the association, so he naturally knew how well it worked.

It is not difficult to repair that big machine, but it is not a simple matter to check the circuits in the magic furnace. The core of such a large magic device has thousands of circuits in the magic furnace. Even if he checks it himself It will take most of the day.

And it took only a few hours for the two of my subordinates to go back and forth. Either the other party was in a panic, or someone checked in front and left them a guiding message.

It was not easy just to check, but if he could leave a message to guide the people behind him, he immediately believed in his heart that the other party was a high-level alchemist.

The president of the craftsman association pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, and said to the two of them: "Okay, I know what you are thinking, you are ready to come with me... I will go change my clothes first, and you also go, we will see you See the grown-up."

Yayo and his companion looked at each other, and couldn't help being very excited. They came back to report this matter, didn't they just want to meet the alchemist.

For young alchemists like them, it is always beneficial to know more high-level alchemists.

And the highest-ranked alchemist in Tagree City before this was their president, a peak second-order alchemist.

The other party's greatest hope is to make up for the last gold star in his lifetime, get a Hailin morning star before retiring, and become an honorary third-rank alchemist.

At present, this hope is quite high, after all, the Artisan Association is not so stingy with honorary titles.But that's all. Tagli is just a small city on the border between the Stag Principality and the Empire, and it's not even within the empire. Being a branch president of an association here naturally has a limited level.

The president of their Artisan Association is actually from a local origin, and it took 30 years to climb all the way to this position. Of course, the aborigines are not as fast as the Holy Chosen.And the two young people are even more ambitious, they want to visit other cities in the empire——

Preferably a big city.

The Craftsman's Association has its own source of information, not to mention that Fang Yan and his party have been to the Adventurer's Guild just now, so the president of the Craftsman's Association didn't spend much time inquiring about the news he wanted.

But Fang Plover didn't expect either——

I couldn't help but be a little flattered that I would alarm the president of a craftsman's association to come to see him in person.

After all, in the past, he either dealt with big figures like Princess Brianne or Sir Robin, or he was being taught by master craftsmen like Arquette and Ann Rother.

And the summoners around him are also Odin, Holy September, Ms. Ming, Miya and 'R', and some of them are also Sophie, Hongye and the others, all of them are much better than him.

It always gave him a feeling that he was still a student.

But when he saw the president, Fang Plover suddenly realized that he had already become a third-tier alchemist at level 25 before he knew it.

From level 25 onwards, he entered the high-ranking zone of the First World Chosen. He still remembered that Miss Scape was level 27, and Mr. Quelod was only level 28.

And the Dawn Star Adventure Group led by the two is already at the top level among mercenaries.

As for the great guild, it is also limited.The people he knew like Kaka, Liuying, and Yuexia were not as good as him, but people like Sophie, Wu Di, and Zifeiyu were already at a level that could go to the second world.

In the July War, if not for the return of a large number of elites from the Second World, it would not have ended up like that in the end.

It turned out that before I knew it, I was no longer a little transparent...

Fang Plover couldn't help but recall that he was also met by Erna when he was in Estonia.

At that time, he was only a three-star gold star craftsman.

At the same time, Ms. Erna's level is much higher than that of the president in front of her.

After the resurrection of Descartes, the lady was directly promoted to the president of the Istonia Craftsman Association. Of course, Princess Rupert trusted her, but if it was just trust, Colin—Ishurian’s general meeting It will not pass either.

Of course, Fang Plover would not look down on the other party just because of his level. In his heart, he had a sincere love for this world and for alchemists, and everyone had different views on ether, and had their own unique views on alchemy.

What's more, Kaolin's alchemy is different from that of the empire, so the two had a good chat and exchanged their understanding of alchemy.

The following two young people benefited greatly. The level of a high-level alchemist is unquestionable, and even the Chosen One has a system to rely on, not to mention that Fang Ploy's foundation is much more solid than ordinary people.

Although he hadn't changed his mentality for a while, he only put forward some of his own opinions modestly, but there were some unique features—especially the part about ancient alchemy, which made the others feel enlightened.

The president of the Tagli Artisan Association was both pleasantly surprised and excited, "Has Colin, Ishurian's colleague, reached this point in the research of ancient alchemy?"

After being startled for a moment, Fang Yan cried inwardly: "It's broken, it's too much when I get excited."

He doesn't know the average research level of Colin-Ishurian's alchemy world. His knowledge of ancient alchemy comes from people like An Luoser and Ander-Uriel.

Even if he didn't know himself anymore, he didn't think these people could represent the average level of the Ishurian alchemist world.

He had no choice but to obsessively confuse this topic.

Miss Ship Officer covered her mouth.

Fortunately, the other party didn't care about it, and was still immersed in the ocean of alchemy knowledge. The two young people looked at them with reverence, and they didn't understand most of the previous conversations.

However, Fang Plover was not without gains. On the one hand, he learned some knowledge and anecdotes from the imperial alchemy world.On the other hand, he also accidentally learned more information about Ash-Lynn and Holfen College from the head of the Craftsman Association.

The place where he is now is the old site of Lynn's house back then, but this place has now been sold to a businessman living in the city of Egri.It's a pity that this businessman is also the second owner of this place, and the other party doesn't know what happened more than ten years ago.

But seeing them inquiring about this matter, the president of the Craftsman Association in Tagli couldn't help but ask, "Do you know Mr. Ash?"

Fang Yan was slightly taken aback, "Could it be that you have heard about Lin En's family, Mr. President?"

"Your Excellency can't afford it," the chairman quickly replied: "When I was an apprentice craftsman more than 20 years ago, I worked under Mr. Ash for a while. Before Mr. Ash died, although Mr. Ash was a well-known A magician, but few people know that he is also quite accomplished in alchemy."

"Before the deceased?" Fang Plover was taken aback.

He and Sylvie looked at each other.

Seeing his expression, the president of the Artisan Association knew that they had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "After all, Mr. Ash was already in his 20s more than 60 years ago, and he was obsessed with magic research, and his physical condition has not been very good. it is good……

Moreover, the Mage Contest dealt a heavy blow to him, Mr. Ash should have died in depression..."

He sighed.

Then he raised his head and looked at the mansion in front of him, "Shortly after that, the Lynn family disposed of the property in the city and moved away from this place." He shook his head, "I remember that at that time, they even tried to persuade , but to no avail."

Fang Plover was puzzled when he heard that.Although I had some guesses in my mind, I still found it unbelievable. Even if Sir Ma Wei is not a mage, his vision should not be so bad, right?
"...what was the result of that Wizards match?" he asked.

The president of the Artisan Association shook his head when he heard the words: "I don't know much about the magician circle, but I heard that the loss was ugly... After that, it was rumored among the magicians of the Stag Principality that the founder of Holfen Academy was a liar .”

He paused and added: "However, based on what I know about Mr. Ash, he should not be like this. I don't know anything about mages, but I know a lot about alchemy. I believe that based on the level of alchemy alone, Ash Mr. Shi deserves a place in the principality."

A mage who is proficient in alchemy.

Fang Yan couldn't help but turned to look at Luo Yu, only to see that the other party was also listening thoughtfully, thinking that Etalia was indeed so vast, that no one field would be untouched.

But what the president of the Craftsman Association said caught him off guard, and he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. President, where did the Lynn family go after they moved away?"

"That's not clear," replied the president of the craftsmen's association. "I've only met Mr. Ash a few times, but if you want to know about them, you can go to Holfen College."

Fang Plover: "?"

"I remember that before the Lynn family left, they left an old servant to take care of it. It's just that the old servant is also getting old. I haven't been to Holfen Academy in these years. I don't know if he is still alive. .”

"...Can we go and have a look," Luo Yu suddenly said at this moment: "Head, I'm a little concerned."

Fang Plover looked at the others.

Sylvie nodded slightly, and Miss Nightingale and Jita did not object.

Fang Plover nodded, not only for the information of Sylvaide's father and friend, but more importantly, he himself became interested in the former great mage and alchemist.

What's more, Luo Yu seldom expresses his opinion on his own initiative, which shows that the other party is quite concerned about this issue, and Fang Yan is also willing to respect the wishes of his companion.

See them going to go.

The president of the craftsman association in Tagli said again: "Since you are planning to go there to have a look, why don't you take the two of them with you?" He looked at the two young men behind him, "These are people from my association. The lads are smart, they're local and know everything around them."

Fang Plover looked at the two young people - he said they were young people, but they were actually older than him.But everyone is not surprised, after all, it is normal for the Holy Chosen to be stronger.

Seeing that the two were eager to try, he didn't refuse, but only thanked the president.He is not familiar with the place, and he is not hypocritical. He has a map in his hand, but there is no guide to use the map.

The big deal is to pay for it.

However, the two of them might prefer him to teach alchemy, and Fang Plover himself was happy to do so.

Now that he had a plan, Fang Plover didn't delay until the next day. Seeing that it was still early, the group went out of the city directly.With two locals leading the way, it really saved a lot of trouble. Holfen College is in the south of Tagri City. They walked out of the city gate from the south and walked into a forest not long after.

The Stag Principality is located in the northern border of the empire. At the same latitude of Kaolin-Ishurian, it is already covered with heavy snow at this time, but the forest here is only slightly quiet and slightly chilly.

According to Yayo, there will still be snow here in half a month, but it will only melt once or twice, and the ice and snow will soon melt.There are mostly tall and straight black pine trees in the forest. The pine needles are thick and dense, dark green, and look black from a distance, hence the name.

This kind of tree is not uncommon in Kapuka, and they are widely distributed in the continents of Ishurian and Cintaan.As for the town, there are no large animals in the forest, only a few squirrels tilt their heads on the branches and look at these uninvited guests.

Fang Plover is very familiar with these gray-haired little things, so he told others about their types, living habits, and the ecology and vegetation of this woodland. People just say it's amazing.

We are all young people, maybe a little stiff at first, but we get to know each other quickly.

The two asked about alchemy again, and Fang Plover also answered all the questions. He also talked about the customs of Kaolin-Ishurian, and Jita occasionally added in whispers to make those descriptions three-dimensional.

Holfen College is only five or six miles away from Tagli City. After walking through the forest for about an hour, you can already see its tile-blue roof from behind the forest. It has experienced a lot of wind and rain from a distance, and it looks old.

Walking out of the forest, I saw tall buildings quietly standing among the green vegetation. Due to years of neglect, the shrubs were densely overgrown, and the walls were covered with moss and cracked.

Vines and plant leaves climbed up the rusted pipes and spread in all directions.

But through the dilapidated and huge buildings, you can still see the past of the college.

Everyone fell silent.

But Alisa suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked in one direction, "There is someone."

"It's not just one, there are quite a few people."

The two young men couldn't help but tense up.

They only heard of an old servant who had lived here for many years, but they had never heard of anyone else. Could it be that a gang of robbers had taken over the place?
"Mr. Ed," Yayo's voice trembled a little. He is a member of the Craftsman's Association, but he is just an ordinary person, "Why don't we go back first and then find some people from the Association, there are combat craftsmen in the Craftsman's Association... ..."

But Fang Yan has not had time to express in the future.

Ms. Naturalist has already come out, opened the magic book, and put one hand on the page, "Spiderweb Sensation."

She pointed to the ground, and silver light burst out where her fingertip pointed, and spread in all directions like a spider web, then bypassed obstacles, passed through doors and windows, and quickly disappeared.

"Fourteen people, divided into two parties."

After a while, she pushed her glasses and said.

Fang Plover was looking at each other in surprise.

"...This, this is the ability I got from Gullier's magic book after leveling up," Jita explained in a low voice, "... Gaining knowledge from anecdotes can temporarily borrow part of the powers of other professions. Can use this ability twice.

Spider web sensing is the ability of Elaine's priest. Although I don't have a complete grasp of it, it shouldn't go wrong. "

Fang Plover didn't care about this, he looked at Alyssa.Miss Nightingale nodded lightly, "It's such a big commotion, there must be more than ten people."

"Get ready for battle," Fang Yan also knew that the sudden appearance of so many people in this place was probably not for any good reason, "Luo Yu, find them."

Luo Yu nodded slightly.

He can actually use a clockwork goblin, but the clockwork goblin is too noisy in a closed space, and he hasn't used it since the last time he used it on the shadowman ship.

Luo Yu raised his magic wand, and a gust of wind passed by everyone.

That is not an ordinary wind, but the wind of ether. Forests and walls can isolate people's senses, but they cannot isolate magic power.

As long as those people still carry the magic furnace, Luo Yu can mark the other party's position. This hand was taught by 'R' to Fang Plover, and he passed it on to others.

In fact, Jita can also, but the elementalist is much more powerful in this respect.
