Pillars of Ita

"This is it." In the basement, which had been in disrepair for a long time, there were rows of bookshelves, covered with dust and cobwebs.The old servant found a wooden box from a stack of old papers and handed it over.

Fang Plover took it with his hand, only to feel that it was heavy, as if there was something inside.He looked at the box, it was made of willow wood, off-white, painted with a layer of insect-proof wax, it looked ordinary from the outside.

It's like the common wooden crate used to store materials and instruments. There are many such things in the craftsman's association, and it doesn't look like there is anything valuable in it.

Fang Yuan looked around.

In the dark, a section of the drainpipe seemed to be broken, and the rainwater poured into the room, forming sludge and stagnant water.There is a smell of moss in the air, but it can still be seen that this place used to be a well-equipped magic laboratory, complete with various workbenches, and a magic circle.

It's just that the gold and mithril originally embedded in the formation have been taken away, leaving only a bare formation foundation, and all kinds of instruments have been swept away, leaving behind some worthless bottles and cans.

Some of them still contain organs from magical creatures, but the antiseptic liquid inside has already evaporated, or was broken and drained, and the materials of those biomass have long been corrupted, and they are black in the jar.

There are also some parts stacked on the workbench, which seem to be part of an unfinished magic device. @*~~ Fang Plover recognized a few movable joints, which were probably part of the construct, and some he couldn't recognize.

These things are badly eaten by moths, the surface is riddled with holes, and the bottom is a fine layer of debris and insect droppings.Although it can be seen that someone has tried their best to maintain them, sorted these things into categories, and sorted them out carefully, but they still cannot save their fate of turning into dust one day.

He suddenly understood why the other party didn't seem to care much about the things in the laboratory.Because sooner or later everything here will turn to dust and return to the earth.

"The things in the box are Mr. Ash's works, completed or unfinished," the old servant recalled. "After Mr. Ash passed away, his students put away his works and numbered them one by one. It's one of the..."

Fang Plover just lifted up the box and saw the number at the bottom, which was a strange character, which should be "5" when translated into Arabic numerals.

"What's in here?" he asked.

"I don't know, but the person who gave it to me said: "This thing is of little significance to mages, but if Sir Ma Wei comes back here one day, he can give this thing to him. "" The old man sighed, "Unexpectedly, 20 years have passed in a flash. I didn't wait for Sir Ma Wei, but I waited for his daughter to come here..."

"Mr. Jazz has gone to the Second World, and his whereabouts are still unknown," Fang Plover felt the need to explain for Sir Ma Wei. "I came here with his daughter to go to the Second World to find his whereabouts."

The old servant nodded. In fact, Sylvie had mentioned this matter to him before.

Fang Plover opened the box and saw that there was a piece of black flannel inside. When he opened the flannel, he saw a dark crystal underneath.He was slightly taken aback, is this an elemental crystal?Core crystal?still is……?
In Altalia, although there are ordinary crystals.But most of the crystals and gems are the product of the convergence of magic power, such as moonstone, beryl and amethyst, which represent different element attributes, and are collectively called magic crystals.

Magic crystals are naturally suitable to be used as magic cores for magic supplies, or energy storage containers, and most of them can be directly inserted into the slots of the magic furnace after being polished into shape.

But since the other party said that the box was Mr. Ash's work, Fang Plover would definitely not think that this dark crystal was a natural magic crystal. He carefully turned the crystal over and looked at it, and sure enough, he found several pieces under it. Silver metal loop.

As mentioned earlier, the magic crystal used for energy storage can be used naturally, so the crystal embedded with the metal circuit is probably some kind of magic core—the element core in the magic furnace, and the core crystal of the construct belongs to this category , but Fang Zhi couldn't tell which type this crystal belonged to for a while.

Not that he didn't recognize it.

But only when the core crystal is inserted into the magic device, the craftsman can pass the pre-preparation.

First leave the magic interface to check its internal circuit and analyze its specific use.It was as if he had inspected that big Oshu machine before.

Directly infusing magic power into an item is a talent only possessed by magic creatures, and it is not the ability of extraordinary people.If it wasn't for Miss Tata being an artificial dragon soul, she might as well give it a try.

After all, goblins are also the most famous type of magical creatures.

Fang Plover checked the crystal up and down, and after confirming that he couldn't find any useful information, he put it away again, and asked Alisa to bring up the caller of the previous guild. _o_m
Derek was standing at a distance, sluggish and sluggish from blood loss.Luo Yu let him take some No. [-] holy water, the cheapest type of recovery potion sold by the Laila Temple. The chest wound was slowly healing under the action of the potion, but it was still very painful.

Moreover, those people removed the energy storage crystal of his magic furnace, and he was no different from an ordinary person after losing his magic power. It was impossible to escape even without pain, so he behaved fairly honestly.

He also thought about it clearly, if these people tortured him, then he would dissolve the stars and resurrect himself, and he would not be spared that crime.But if these people just want to ask him something that doesn't matter - like before, then he doesn't mind trading it for the chance of his own life.

After all, Xinghui is still very precious.

But if these people were going to kill him... then he had no choice.

But when Derek saw the old servant handing over a box to those people from a distance, he couldn’t help but jump in his heart, and an idea subconsciously emerged—they were here to find something, so it’s hard not to think of that box when they see it .

At this moment, the little Pappalar behind him pushed him behind, and said in a vicious voice, "Go over."

Derek was kind and did not resist, just staring at the box and walked over.

But he didn't expect that the woman in front of him directly took out a pistol, cocked the hammer, pressed the muzzle of the gun against his forehead, and asked, "This is what you are looking for? What use does it do to you?"

Derek opened his mouth, but no sound came out.He didn't expect that the other party would ask such a core question as soon as he came up, so that he couldn't even delay for a while-this was different from asking him about his origin and affiliation.

After all, the trade union is no secret, besides, everyone is still wearing a union shirt.But what the other party is asking now is the secrets of the guild, and he wants to tell unless he doesn't plan to hang around in the guild anymore.

"As long as you answer this question, we can let you go away alive," Miss Nightingale deliberately pretended to be indifferent, "Killing people is of no benefit to us, and Xinghui is very precious, I hope you understand. And there is only You are alone, no one will know what you said, and of course we will not spread it around."

Derek hesitated for a while, but finally shook his head with difficulty. Although the other party removed his magic furnace, the recording crystal on the equipment would naturally fail.But this is a world with gods and real magical powers. If he really wants to say it, he won't be able to pass the level of the realm of honesty after returning.

Disappointment appeared in Alisa's eyes.

"Wait!" Derek yelled, but it was too late, Miss Nightingale had already pulled the trigger.

There was a loud bang, and the ranger fell backwards on his back, his body immediately glowing with white light.

Fang Plover looked at the other party's corpse in a pool of blood, feeling a little unbearable.In fact, there was no need for them to kill each other. As Alyssa said, killing people is of no benefit to them.

But just letting the other party go like this, he was afraid that the guild would have doubts about their purpose.He just wanted to make everything look more natural, so that the other party naturally suspected that they had taken away what the other party wanted.

"Old man," Fang Yan turned around and said to the old servant: "Next, you should leave this place first. I know you are very concerned about the academy left by Mr. Ash, but don't worry, those people will not be able to leave after you leave. Take this place down."

He himself is the elect.

It is natural to know the habits of the callers.

"Ash's Manuscript" is an important quest item in the eyes of the callers, whether it is snatching or deception, the method is not important to those people, what is important is to remove this "quest item" from All it is.

People "pick" it up.

But after losing this important quest item, the old servant, as an aborigine, should be an insignificant part in the eyes of the other party.Fang Yan asked him to leave temporarily to avoid accidents.

As for the college itself, the Chosen Guild didn't care even more. They might come here to search again, but bullying Holfen College was just making themselves uncomfortable.

The Chosen will never do superfluous things.

Now that the "quest item" is on him, what the other party has to do is to take this quest chain back from them—before they "complete the quest" and get the final benefits.

Although the so-called "Ash's manuscript" may not exist at all.

But that doesn't matter, Fang Plover just wants the other party to think that this thing exists.

Of course, in the future, they will stay away from this place immediately. Fang Plover is not afraid of trouble, but he will not look for trouble by himself.He had already asked Miss Tata to return to the Traveler of the Seven Seas, and notified the big cat to prepare for departure. _o_m
When you get on the Seven Seas Traveler, let the people from that guild find you slowly.

But it was at this time that Fang Yan saw a text pop up on his light screen:
"Brother Ed, someone is looking for you, you'd better come up and have a look."

It was a message from Jita.

……

Back on the ground, Fang Plover was a little surprised that the person who came to find them turned out to be one of the two young people from the Daytime Craftsman Association, to be precise, Yayo's companion.

The other party was leaning on the tree, looking out of breath, sweating profusely even in the low temperature winter night, obviously running all the way here in a hurry.As soon as the other party saw Fang Plover appearing, he immediately shouted out of breath:

"...It's not good, Ai...Mr. Ai De, those people you provoked during the day...they gathered in the city and planned to take revenge on you..."

He took a few breaths, and then said: "...I know their identities. They are a guild of the Chosen Ones called "Death Comes". According to the president, it is a well-known Guild of the Chosen Ones in this area... ...By the way, it was the president who told us the information that the other party is mobilizing..."

Fang Plover had already known this information, and it was also within his imagination that the other party would retaliate.

However, those people's calls caused such a big commotion that they even aroused the attention of the Tageri Artisans Association, which was a bit beyond his expectation.

After a moment of contemplation, he thought of a possibility—the other party might have an airship.

In Tagli, which has a population of tens of thousands, the transfer of hundreds of holy chosen ones is not noticeable at all, but only the dispatch of the airship will attract the attention of the aborigines.

"Empire is really not simple..." Fang Yan couldn't help sighing in his heart.Now in the Stag Principality, even a small guild has its own airships. Although the Oshu people established their country with magical skills, airships are much more common here.

But this alone is enough to illustrate the strength of the first division.

But compared to these, what really surprised Fang Plover was that this young man walked through the winter forest alone in the middle of the night, and traveled thousands of miles to inform them of this incident.This made him feel good about the other party and the Tagry Craftsman Association.

He didn't seem too flustered, he only asked the other party to calm down first, "Did the president ask you to notify us?"

"The president didn't say it clearly," the young man shook his head, "but Yayo told me that it's time to grow up, otherwise he didn't need to inform us. Yayo asked me to inform you, where is he now? Keep an eye on those people..."

Too risky.

Fang Plover did not approve of the other party's actions, but most of the selectors would not pay attention to an aborigine, let alone in the city, Yayue should be safe.

But he accidentally learned another thing from the other party.

Before the young man set off, the guild had already dispatched a large advance team.It's just that the callers are not as familiar with the forest as the natives, and the young people took a shortcut here, and even if the other party goes ahead, they may still be able to reach the vicinity of Holfen College.

This is important news.

No wonder the young man was in such a hurry.

Hurriedly ran all the way over.

Fang Yan replied: "I understand, thank you very much, but you should go back first, because this side will soon become unsafe. Also, please help me, Ya Yue, and the president to say thank you, I originally planned to say goodbye to them in person, but now I don’t think I have the chance.”

The young man froze for a moment: "Then you..."

"Don't worry about us."

Fang Plover opened the communication channel and typed word by word:

"Ready to fight."

……

Death came upon the guild.

A long, sharp whistle sounded outside, and everyone rushed out while putting on their equipment, looking for their respective teams to meet up.

The guild leader, Gox looked at the few people who came out of the resurrection altar with an ugly face. "The guild found out a few hours ago that you have entered the star recovery state, and reported it to me. You said in the community that you were attacked, so what is going on?" He asked with a cold face.

"President, the targets of those who attacked us should be the same as ours, and they are also Ash's manuscripts, but those people are of high level, and they are likely to be the Chosen Ones above level [-]."

"Above level [-]? Which guild are they from, the elite group of the Omen of the Stars and the Dreamland guild?"

"No, our three guilds are the only ones in the Stag Principality, and the Omens of the Stars and Dreamland are our old acquaintances. Unless their elite group is newly recruited, we will definitely recognize it when we make a move." The ranger captain denied.

The female ranger who was the first to withdraw from the battle said at this time: "The one who attacked us was someone else. The element that attacked me used a three-ring spell, at least level [-]. I saw his appearance, it was an Asian I can't tell if the other party is a local, and there seems to be a little girl, but we didn't see how she made the move, and we don't know what the other party's occupation is."

"How many people did they attack you?" Gox asked.

Several people looked at each other. "There is also a crossbowman, but we didn't see each other clearly... There is also a nightingale, it should be a nightingale. _o_mAdam, tell me." They looked at a swordsman behind them.

The swordsman scratched his head and said, "I actually didn't see clearly, but the other party should be a woman..."

"So an elementalist, a little girl, a woman, and a crossbowman, four people wiped you out?" Gox was furious, "Three of the four, you didn't even see each other clearly, Can't even tell the profession?"

"Actually, there are only two..." Someone retorted.

Gox gave these people a cold look, and said, "Trash."

More than a dozen people didn't say a word, and they were actually at a loss.They are not newbies either, they have fought old battles with neighboring guilds, and know how to deal with attacks and how to counterattack, but they have never encountered such an aggrieved situation.

In the end, it was the person who asked the question that Fang Yan had met and said: "Don't talk about this, we can't do anything about the high level of the other party. Now the mission target is in their hands, and the most urgent thing is how to get it back."

"They can't leave," Gox replied gritting his teeth. "As soon as you explain the situation in the community, an advance team will be dispatched here. The Fox regiment and the Ge regiment are still performing missions outside. I will temporarily transfer manpower from the Charlie regiment and the Delta regiment." Pulled half a regiment out and sent them in that direction."

He said while looking into the station.The selectors of the guild were marching, and there were at least three ordinary members of the regiment on the square, and the leading soldiers of the other two regiments left first under the order of their unit commander, heading south.

A sailboat is slowly rising into the sky, raising its sails, and flying towards the forest.

There are always people in the guild performing tasks outside, guarding or leveling.Nearly one-third of the manpower used at this moment is almost all the forces that the "Death Comes" guild can use except for the necessary security forces——

In Gox's view, this is a bit of a fuss. If the investor behind them hadn't given a death order on this matter, he must find out the whereabouts of Ash's manuscript, and he would never have made such a big fuss.

I thought it would be safe to send two teams to catch an old servant, but I didn't expect something to go wrong.

However, with five regiments of manpower, it is possible to form a search network.

With the surrounding area of ​​Holfen Academy blocked layer by layer, how many people will not be able to escape? Gox turned around and planned to say something more, but at this moment, his expression suddenly changed.

The chairman's face was sinking like water, but now it became livid.

The person who asked the question seemed to see something on his face, and asked subconsciously: "What's the matter, what happened?"

"Bye."

He was the unit commander of the advance regiment he sent out.

Gox looked towards the Altar of Resurrection with an extremely ugly expression, a layer of white light suddenly rose from the icon of Angela, and then the crystals in a circle in front of the icon suddenly lit up one by one:
One, two, three, and then five crystals lit up at the same time, and then four more, and the crystals that lit up one by one did not stop until after twenty crystals.

Each crystal represents a period of starlight that is recovering from it.

If Fang Yan saw this scene, he would probably die of envy, because there were only three crystals on the altar of Milella on the Seven Seas Traveler, and the price of such a large resurrection altar was almost enough to buy half of the Seven Seas Traveler. @*~~
But here, everyone was just stunned:
"Those are... something happened to the advance team?"
