Pillars of Ita

Gox, the guild leader of Death Falls, picked up the signal amplifier from the ground, stared at the boundless black pine forest silently, and remained silent for a while.

Back and forth, nearly a regiment of manpower and a fast dhow were lost, and in the end they didn't even catch a hair of the other party.The only information he got was that the other party might have a ship, a two-masted fast sailing ship equipped with a wind elemental shield.

"Take it down and analyze its production method." He handed the signal amplifier in his hand to the alchemist of the guild, and ordered.But in fact, nothing is better than talking. This kind of thing is very common in the hands of craftsmen, and a standardized process has already been formed. It is difficult to analyze the characteristics of the person who made it from the personal characteristics.

"President, the message from the Shadow," a person brought the latest information ahead, "They have arrived at the location of the previous engagement, and the wind element detector shows that the target is sailing south, at least [-] air miles away. The other party The speed of the ship is astonishing, at least fifteen knots, and I am afraid that none of our ships can catch up, even with a frigate.

In addition, about [-] people were lost on the dhow, and there are still several missing persons who are uncertain. They assessed the situation of the ship, but they were not optimistic. Fortunately, the sailors on the Dereban rescued our people.

"Detain the Dereban number," Gox replied, "Ask them about the battle in detail."

After that person left, the vice president at the side said, "We may have to turn to someone from Iron Thorn Academy for help."

Gox shook his head and said: "People from Iron Thorn Academy can't help, a fast sailing ship of fifteen knots, only the ships of the Imperial Navy can catch up with it. Even if we really find such a fast ship, the other party doesn't know how to escape Where did it go. The key is that we have too little information..."

Two-masted light sailing ships, such ships are everywhere in Etalia, are they going to detain every such ship for interrogation?
As long as the opponent doesn't deploy the wind elemental shield, outsiders can't see it.

"Could it be the ..d or the fraternity?" the latter asked.

"It's unlikely," Gox continued to deny, "..D and people from the Brotherhood entered our sphere of influence. It's impossible for the higher-ups to not notice it. But this is a way, so let's report it. Anyway, the other party is heading towards the Empire. , let those people have a headache."

"What about us, is this the mission?"

"Of course not," the former gritted his teeth. "We also entered the territory of the empire to join the people from the headquarters. Since the establishment of Death's Coming, we have never been played around like this. No one can swallow this breath."

"I'm just worried about the Principality."

"Don't worry," Gox said disdainfully, "The Omens of the Stars and the Dreamland are rotten fish and rotten shrimps. People from the Iron Thorn Academy are watching, and they dare not really fight in the Principality."

The vice president glanced at him and nodded silently. Of course he knew that this trip was not just for revenge, but that the task itself was not trivial.If the guild stays out of this matter, it will only be an outsider after the event is completed in the future.

……

But the Seven Seas Traveler did not go directly south into the border of the empire as they expected.

Instead, he made a big circle and sailed westward for nearly [-] air miles. After the signal source behind the wind element detector completely disappeared, he turned and sailed eastward.

This time they even got closer to a place less than ten miles away from Tageri, and flew over the village they passed through before entering Tageri. Unfortunately, it was only early in the morning, and the sky was not yet bright, and the village was silent.

Otherwise, everyone can take a look at whether the big machine of the villagers has been repaired.

Then Seven Seas Traveler turned south again.At this time, the opponent's attention should have been completely drawn to the border by them, but the principality looked defenseless.

They can take the "Wind Gorge Route" leisurely, enter the empire's interior from the route of the Gate of the Empire - Ravendur - Ronore, and finally arrive at the destination, the "City of Steel" Aiyin Bullock.

It is also the hometown of the great alchemist Ed, and it is the place where he came to this world and left this world.

The Holy Land of Alchemy.

It is also home to the headquarters of the Artisans Guild - the mobile fortress 'Mobius'.

It is said that this fortress designed by Ed himself once became the first line of human beings to resist the invasion of giants during the disaster of Etholin, and was severely damaged in that battle, losing the ability to move.

After that, it stayed at Ayn Brock.

Or to be precise, it was later that the Ossurians built the magic city with it as the center.

And that is also one of the largest magical structures designed in human history. As a fortress of war, just like its name, this fortress has the size of a small town.

Although 'Mobius' has been damaged for nearly 1000 years, it still stands today, and after years of repairs by alchemists, people can still see its majestic style even today after a thousand years.

After the war, it became the seat of the headquarters of the Artisans Guild, a transcontinental institution founded by the alchemists.

Although there is no obvious governing relationship between the associations of artisans in each continent, they are divided into countries and regions to communicate on an equal basis and exchange needs.

However, as the first artisan association established in the history of alchemists, the Osu Artisan Association's status is obviously more special and respected in the artisan association.

In fact--

It was a place of pilgrimage in the minds of all alchemists across the continent.

Fang Plover is no exception.

Before he came to this world, he had heard the story of the Osyrians from many places, about the great alchemist Ed and his students, the first generation of alchemists in history, and they built The first human cities.

How the empire was established, how the Ossurians ignited the fire of civilization belonging to mortals from the wilderness.They forged sailboats, armed mortals with magic furnaces, defeated extraordinary creatures with mortal bodies, and established the most powerful empire on this continent in one fell swoop.

Austrian Empire.

This is the hometown of magic technology, the birthplace of alchemy, the country of miracles, and the names of countless legends belong to this mortal empire.It is the pride of mortals and the birthplace of civilization.

But that was only the glory that once belonged to the Ossurians.

It is not that the empire has not declined. Hundreds of dynasties have been born in this ancient land within 1000 years. The longest stretches for hundreds of years, and the shortest is only a few decades or even a few years.

Countless great rulers once ruled this land and looked at this ancient country with their eyes, but those great people left one by one, leaving only a few words in history.

Kingship does not exist forever, and dynasties change, but after 1000 years, the Ossurian empire still exists.

For Atalia, that was an almost immortal name.

It is old, but it is new. The empire has just experienced the rule of Stuart IV, and completed the change of the old and new royal powers nine years ago-the previous tyrant injected some brand new into this ancient empire. Vitality, using new magic technology to achieve the revival of the empire.

The Oshur people hated him because of the harsh and high-handed rule, heavy taxes, endless military service, hard labor, war and severe criminal laws.

But the Osurians also remembered him.

It is because during the 60 years of the monarch's reign, the decline of the empire in the past 200 years since Oretois VII was swept away, and this ancient name returned to the status it should belong to.

In the past half century, with the help of the Chosen One, the magic technology of the empire has returned to its peak.And the alchemists of the Osu Artisan Association have also proved the glory of the empire in the artisan competitions.

The empire opened up the territory of the Second World and established a firm foothold there, taking the most fertile land in that vast world from the coalition forces of Colin-Ishurian and the Hill of Giant Trees.

The abundant materials and countless wealth brought back from another world flowed into the empire, and everything seemed to be developing in a prosperous direction.

The legendary revival of the Osyrian Empire became one of the most dazzling events in Etalia in the past two centuries.

Even the seven great mage families, which had been sluggish for hundreds of years in the empire, seemed to begin to glow with glory against the backdrop of the revival of the empire, defeating their enemies for nearly a hundred years—the mages of the Stag Principality in one fell swoop.

Their footsteps did not stop there. With the newly developed magic technique, the wizards of the empire began to expand their influence outward, and established a wide reputation in several cross-continental exchanges.

Now that great sovereign is dead.

The new monarch has been in office for nearly ten years, has begun to grasp his own power, and implemented a new round of new policies.But for the Oshur people, they have not yet escaped the influence of that powerful monarch.

It's just getting used to this new era.

These are all Fang Plover knew about the Osu Empire before entering the star gate.

In addition to the knowledge related to the first division, he also knew that for nearly a century, since the implementation of technological innovation, the magic skills of the empire have always been the best in Altalia.

Although some of those technologies have spread to other artisan guilds, the Oshu people have always mastered the core secrets. The magical skills that are unsurpassed in Etalia allow them to be used in main battleships, magical structures, and even individual combat. All aspects of equipment and artillery technology are ahead of other countries and regions.

When he was in the Kapuka Artisan Association, Fang Plover had heard all kinds of legends about the Oshu people, not limited to the strength of the alchemists and summoners of the opponent in the artisan competition.

There are also many battle reports from the second world.

The Colin-Ishurian Alliance and the Wood Elves of the Hill of Giant Trees formed a coalition in the Second World, but they also lost more than the Osurians. It is often heard that one of the two parties, or the coalition of the two parties, was defeated in the muddy state. The news came that Yu Yu suffered a big loss.

Such news is rarely circulated among ordinary people, but the information of the Craftsman Association is very well-informed.

Fortunately, in the past ten years, a large number of outstanding people have emerged in the second division, overwhelming the first division, and it is called a glorious decade.In addition, the strength of the draftees in the third division is also second only to the first two divisions——

The combination between the two, together with the aborigines, blocked the pace of the Oshu people.

But now.

The glory of the second division is gone, and it seems difficult to maintain the glory of the past...

Fang Plover shook his head lightly, throwing these thoughts out of his mind.

After all, he pays more attention to the present than these profound things.

I have longed for this Ossul Empire for a long time. After all, this was once the hometown of the great alchemist, and it also has the most advanced magic skills in the world.

But now, this information is bad news for him.

After all, the qualification for the craftsman competition is the ticket for the Seven Seas Brigade to enter the second world.

In the past ten years, except for Loofah's session, the qualifications for the top three in the Artisan Competition were almost completely controlled by the Imperials.Even in the top ten, there are mostly imperial people.

Otherwise, how could His Majesty the self-willed king of the Colin people stop at asking them to enter the top ten?
But is it that easy to enter the top ten?

Colin-Ishurian's artisan technology has long lagged behind the empire. The alchemists of the Ishurian Artisan Association are in the artisan competition, as if they are holding the teaching materials ten years ago and those who are at the forefront of alchemy. Warlock competition.

Is this easier said than done?
The reason why the top drafters in the second division overwhelmed the empire was because the combination of the Hill of Giant Trees and Colin-Ishurian in the second world was barely evenly divided with the empire.

Behind this is actually the shaping and division of the second world power form.

Which top recruiter was not cultivated by massive resources?

But in the first world, this is the absolute home of the empire.

Back then, loofah only won the top three in the first world artisan competition before it emerged.Although the No. 2 and No. [-] alchemists were not as successful as her later, this did not prevent the other party from overpowering the former in the first world rookie stage.

After all, the second world belongs to the second world, and the newcomer stage belongs to the newcomer stage.

Loofah is also valued only after it emerges, so as to obtain more resources, and only then have its achievements after that.

As for the Oshu people, due to the abundance of resources they occupy, the trickle-down effect is to allow the lower-level selectors to distribute more benefits.

There is not much difference in the distribution systems of various countries, but the electors of the empire are stronger than other regions in the era of newcomers.

Fang Plover knew his own affairs well, the Seven Seas Brigade had many adventures, otherwise they would not have made it to where they are today.

But in terms of the basic resources he has, he might not be as good as Loofah back then. After all, before leaving the Rose Crusade, the latter was a first-line player from the Grand Duke Guild.

And if he wants to get results in the craftsman competition, he can only take one step at a time.What he wanted was to first observe the level of the selectors of this generation of empire.

Fortunately, he is not completely helpless.

Judging from the communication between him and the president of the Tageri Artisan Association, at least the ancient alchemy he mastered has unique advantages compared to the Oshurians.

After all, the Colin-Ishurian Artisan Association is not completely following suit. They and the drafters of the second division have also obtained a lot of good things from the second world.

The only problem is that I had good luck in the southern border—or now that I think about it, it may be that An Luoser guessed the questions of the craftsman competition in advance and helped him win the questions.

But it is still unknown whether the finals of this year's craftsman competition will compete in ancient alchemy.

Fang Yan can only hope that his luck will be better, after all, this is related to the ticket of the Seven Seas Traveler to the second world.

A sky blue voice came from outside——

Fang Plover looked not far away.

Sylvaide is using a ruler to draw the route from the Gate of the Empire to Ravendur on the map at the side. The front may be their first stop to the Empire, and it is also the first city of the Empire that they really want to see.

The ship officer made a rough estimate that the Seven Seas Traveler may reach that place in just one day after passing through the Gate of Empire.And at that time, maybe the members of the guild who had come to death were still circling around the border of the empire.

The voice of Tianlan outside the door became louder and louder, and she didn't know what she was shouting about.

In order to prevent the other party from disturbing the ship officer who was thinking, Fang Yan signaled to the other party to go out and have a look, to see what the little girl Tian Lan was up to.

Only now did Silvade raise her head, smiled at him, and nodded.

Fang Plover pushed the door and went out.

But before he could open his mouth in the future, he saw Tian Lan running towards him, almost bumping into his arms.Fang Plover was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped the other party with his hands.

Before Tian Lan stopped, she hurriedly said to Plover:

"Brother Ed, you came out just in time, go and see, there are people below!"

"Is there anyone down there?"

Fang Plover was startled

But Tian Lan had already dragged him to the side of the ship, looked down, and sure enough saw two people on the avenue, waving vigorously at the Seven Seas Traveler.

The Seven Seas Traveler is at an altitude of several hundred meters at the moment, and the figure below is as small as two black dots, but Fang Plover looked intently, and still recognized the identities of the two people—it was Yayo and his companion .

"How are they?"

Fang Yan was taken aback, although the Seven Seas Traveler made a big circle back from the border, and returned to the vicinity of Tagli, throwing off all the people who died in the guild.But here is at least fifteen miles away from Tagri. How could these two people be here?

Could it be that the members of the Deathfall Guild determined the location of the Seven Seas Traveler through means they did not know?After all, this is not impossible, after all, Atalia is a magical world.

Fang Plover did not dare to say that he knew everything about every kind of magical power in this world.

Worried that something happened that he didn't know about, he hurriedly lowered the Seven Seas Traveler, and then brought the two people below onto the ship.As soon as they boarded the boat, Fang Plover found that the two of them were dressed as if they were going on a long journey, not to mention the travel clothes commonly used by adventurers, and they were also carrying a huge luggage.

"You are...?"

Fang Plover looked at the two of them in a daze, wondering if the person who had come to death noticed that the two of them had come to inform them, and then planned to take revenge on the two of them?That's why they had to leave Tagri?
But I didn't expect Yayo to say excitedly: "I didn't expect to meet you again here, Mr. Ed, we are very lucky. Fortunately, I saw your ship when I went to inform Mr. Reed and them. Or you won't recognize it."

"Didn't you escape?" Fang Yan became more and more confused the more he listened.

"Escape?" Yayo was taken aback, "Of course not, why did we escape?"

The other party suddenly reacted, and quickly shook his head and said: "We didn't escape, Mr. Ed, but after hearing what you said, we finally made up our minds to go outside and take a look."

"Let's take a look outside?" Fang Plover recalled where he was going in this direction, "Are you going to the Empire?"

"Yes," Yayo replied, "Actually, we had this idea a long time ago, but it has never been realized. It is Mr. Aide who gave us the motivation to realize this wish. Just as you said, What's the point of staying in this small place like Tagri, we can only realize the alchemy in our minds after we have gone farther and seen a wider world."

Only then did Fang Yan understand, he didn't expect that what he said would make such a fuss.However, he didn't object to the idea of ​​the two of them. He only asked if they had told the Tagri Craftsman Association about it.

If these two guys ran out overnight by themselves, and the Artisan Association checked that two people were missing, would it still be a mess?
After getting an affirmative answer, Fang Plover was relieved. Since the Seven Seas Traveler was also going to the Empire, he simply asked the two of them if they wanted to go together.

After all, the Tagli Artisans Association and these two young men had helped them a lot before, and he didn't mind reciprocating.

And Yayue also had the same plan in the first place, so he readily agreed.

"Mr. Ed," Yayo asked at this time: "Are you planning to go to Lavendure in this direction?"

"Yes, we have thrown off those members of the Death's Guild in the west, and we plan to go to Ravendur next. But we don't intend to stay there, what about you?" Fang Plover asked.

"We plan to visit the imperial capital first, and then go to the holy place in the hearts of alchemists, the capital of iron and steel, Ayinbulok." Yayo suddenly reacted, "Mr. Ed, you plan to take the 'Wind Gorge Route', and you also Go to the Ronore area to see the city of steel?"

He slapped his forehead, and suddenly realized: "Yes, why am I so stupid. Mr. Ed, you are a high-level alchemist in Colin-Ishurian. Of course, you must first go to Ayin Brock, where now..."

Seeing that the other party had already guessed it, Fang Yan didn't intend to hide it, and nodded directly: "You guessed it right, it's a craftsman competition."

"Mr. Ed, are you a contestant?"

Fang Plover nodded.

"That's great," Yayo's eyes lit up, "We haven't seen the grand occasion of the craftsman competition. If Mr. Ed doesn't mind, we want to go to the city of steel with you. I want to use Ed With your ability, sir, you should at least be able to win the top three crowns, right?"

The young man looked forward to it: "I really want to see the situation. When I return to Tagli, I can boast to others that I have traveled with the winner of the alchemy competition."

Fang Yan couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard this, this guy has confidence in himself.

But indeed, according to the tradition of the craftsman competition, as long as it enters the top three, it can be called a winner, so loofah can be regarded as one of the winners of her session.

Yayo was right.

He looked at the other party's enthusiastic expression, but it was not easy to refute, but his heart was full of pride, and he nodded vigorously:

"Okay, then let's go to Ayinbulok together."

To meet the fabled city.
