Pillars of Ita

Fang Plover's performance made a lot of noise after the game.

The reason is that in the history of the Continental League, there has never been a player with all three basic points. This is the first time in history.It even appeared on the front page of "Alchemist Weekly", a highly professional newspaper in the empire, with a report of thousands of words under the title of "Genius Breaks Record".

In this way, although Fang Plover is not a household name in the empire.But at least among the group of alchemists, they are extremely well-known.

The reporter of "Alchemist Weekly" specially intercepted a few pictures of him and put them next to the accompanying text.That happened to be the moment when the projection screen on the field turned to Fang Plover's face. How should I put it... Fang Plover looked very surprised on the screen. A reporter for Alchemist Weekly wrote:
"The super-level performance surprised even Eddie—"

But exactly why he was surprised, I am afraid that only Fang Yan himself can understand.Of course, he would never tell anyone why.

Later, the organizers also gave corresponding explanations.Ancient alchemy is particularly good at purifying materials. This is a well-known fact since the Southern Territory Competition. Those components with almost flawless quality, in the hands of an alchemist with solid basic skills, have demonstrated high assembly accuracy at a super level. , is not something incomprehensible.

The Mimenos Craftsman Association also personally confirmed that it was correct.The young craftsman named Kula also checked and did not express any objection.In addition, people have preconceived cognitions about ancient alchemy, so the final result of this test is also in line with the stereotype in people's minds.

However, the accuracy and material handling skills are fine.Fang Plover's high level of craftsmanship has far exceeded people's expectations.People seem to realize that this dragon alchemist is not only good at ancient alchemy, he is also one of the three main generals of the Colin people's home team. All have attainments.If you don't have an extraordinary level, how can you win the championship in Elfin Do in one fell swoop?
People seem to remember this, about the identity of the former legendary craftsman.

Is such a young legendary craftsman.

The analysts of other teams are also very busy during this period.While re-evaluating the level of the home team of Colin-Ishurian, a new note was added to Fang Plover's information:
'The level of alchemy second only to the master craftsman deserves special attention. '

'Although ancient alchemy has the characteristics of procrastination, the players themselves have extraordinary skills.In situations where ancient alchemy is not applicable, it is necessary to pay special attention to the fact that the opponent's speed is not slow at all. '

'Beware of the Collins digging holes in this. '

Below those evaluations, most of them are underlined to emphasize their importance.

However, Fang Plover himself is also receiving "key attention" from the team.

It is basically a mixed doubles from Soul Fingerprint and Ming.

"What did I tell you?"

"Do you feel like you're not conspicuous enough right now?"

Ms. Ming added from the side: "The triathlon genius boy made another breakthrough in the arena. His super-level performance surprised even Eddie—"

She bent over laughing.

Sister Soul is waving his 'report card' - the front page of "Alchemist Weekly", like a parent waving a zero-point test paper, and Fang Plover, who is completely silent at the side, is the one who got zero points in the test pupils.

I was so frightened that I shivered in the storm like a quail.

Shui Wuming, Mu Lan and Bai Xue were beside him happily.

The others, including the pushy Xiaoyao, were shrinking their necks, and together with MTT, Wucun, and Weiyu, they pretended not to see anything, and lowered their heads to play Beast Chess, which is very popular among alchemists.

Guland was still young, so he didn't want to see such a 'bloody' scene, so Virus let his guard Kurhan take the former away first.

Luo Wei sat across from a group of big men, looking at them with calm eyes.

"Senior Luo Wei, can you stop watching, it's really uncomfortable," Xiaoyao's scalp was a little numb, and he couldn't help but said, "We are different from Ed, he is young and ignorant, aren't we ignorant?"

Luo Wei was a little funny, and said softly, "Sister Soul doesn't want you to speak for him. Ed is going too far this time. It's not a good thing to expose his strength before the Twin Towers trial. Senior sister is also for his own good. "

"I understand the truth," Xiaoyao looked at the trembling Fang Plover, "but isn't Ed a little too pitiful?"

"Don't worry," Luo Wei replied with a smile, "The news of the triathlon has been reported back to the Kaolin-Ishurian Artisan Association, and the association is also very pleasantly surprised. President Falaise wrote a letter in person. There will be a commendation for him."

Only then did everyone understand that the purpose of the Soul Fingerprint was to prevent that guy from sticking his tail up into the sky in the next game.

Sure enough, after a storm of criticism, Soul Fingerprint took out a box, opened it and took out a morning star from it.After she read out the letter of commendation from the Artisan Association in public, she awarded it to Fang Plover.

Different from the worthless medal awarded to him by the Imperial Workshop, this Silver Star came as a surprise to Fang Plover.

He happily wore it under the Hailin Morning Star. The Silver Star was about two sizes smaller than the Hailin Morning Star, and it represented the honor that alchemists had won in the Artisan Association.

Everyone congratulated him.

Xiaoyao was a little bit envious, but Fang Plover's score was indeed the first time ever, not only broke the record, but also appeared in "Alchemist Weekly".This is also a great honor for the Colin-Ishurian Craftsman Association.

Everyone knows that awarding a silver star is not an exaggeration.

However, Fang Plover protected the glory of the Colin-Ishurian Craftsman Association, but did not protect the glory of ancient alchemy.

In other words, it has been guarded, but it has not been fully guarded, only a part of it has been guarded.

The other part, on the contrary, further deepened the stereotype of ancient alchemy among ordinary people.

Even among the group of alchemists, only a few people fully understood its true meaning.But those people often didn't choose to go to the community to refute the rumors flying all over the sky, but immediately booked a boat ticket, packed up their things, and headed to the empire.

His——

Alix looked at the calendar, took off the coat from the hanger, put it in the crook of his arm, and took a top hat. Finally, he looked around his alchemy workshop, and after confirming that everything was correct, he picked up the travel bag. suitcase, and then pushed the door out.

On the screen that is shining brightly in the pupils, several text messages are popping up:
'Are you planning to go to the Empire? '

'Um. '

'Why the sudden whim? '

'I just want to go and see, aren't Virus and Ming also there? '

'Well, go early and come back early. '

Alix put away the address book, cast his eyes on the street, and then walked towards the airport.

Grande—

"Everyone, I've checked it repeatedly," the airport staff looked at the alchemists in the hall and couldn't help spreading their hands. "From now until the middle of next month, there is no liner to the Empire." .Don’t you guys know very well that the north wind is still blowing above the sea of ​​clouds?”

"...But you can try your luck in Iss, which is further south. Maybe the route to Fasha has been unblocked first."

The alchemists talked a lot and protested loudly, complaining that the service of the Royal Port Authority of Port Grande was not getting better year after year.Last year, the unblocking was still in March, but this year it will be delayed until the end of April. If this continues, His Majesty the King will simply close the Royal Port Authority in ten years.

Ordinary people really dare not say these words.

But everyone present was the wearer of Hailin Chenxing, and no one dared to refute the downhill.

The staff also showed embarrassment. After sending these gentlemen away with good words, they turned around and complained to their colleagues, "Which batch is this? If things go on like this, our Royal Port Authority hasn't closed Zhang Daji yet. I will close Zhang Daji first."

"Be patient," the other replied with a wry smile, "Who told that dragon alchemist to make a big news in the empire?"

"Isn't it the one who won the Hill of Giant Trees? It's not an empire," the former sneered. "Besides, it's just the first round of the points competition. It's like winning the battle of the holy king. I think the talents of the Craftsman Association It’s not as good as every year. Didn’t we still have people in the top ten in the last craftsman competition? In the second world..."

"You don't want to die?" The man was taken aback. "Your Majesty can't listen to this. If you talk about things in the second world, don't talk about it."

The former was startled, then reacted and closed his mouth.

And in Bavarian.There is also an endless stream of people visiting Grande General Assembly these days, but among these people, there are fewer people from the Empire, more people from Colin-Ishurians, and even some people from the Ancient Tower.There are fewer ordinary people and more alchemists.

Outsiders are not surprised by this. After all, the Continental League does not represent the honor of one place or one country, but the entire Floating Continent.But what is the reason, the soul fingerprint is clear.

At the beginning, Fang Plover taught all the participants in the southern region, alchemists, ancient alchemy. Afterwards, this skill was spread in the southern region, and then spread to the northern region. Spread the word.

She herself has also learned ancient alchemy, and as a contestant in the last Continental League, her talent is not much lower than these young people present.Now her level of ancient alchemy can be said to be nonexistent, above Mulan, she can naturally see the world behind the door at a glance,

The soul fingerprint is very clear, and those who have received the inheritance of ancient alchemy and have certain attainments in it must also see something from it.These alchemists from all over came here impatiently, naturally to seek the real answer.

But she still blocked everyone from the door.

And only people from the Kapuka Craftsmanship Association and the Ancient Tower Craftsmanship Association are allowed to enter.Soul Fingerprint is a person with a strong sense of responsibility. Currently, the Continental League is still in progress, and she will not let any factors outside of the competition interfere with her players.

Of course, members of the Kapuka Craftsmanship Association and the Ancient Tower Craftsmanship Association are also contestants, so they are not included in this category.Even she herself was very curious about the answer, but she kept holding back from asking.

She is the team leader, but she is also an off-court factor.

Let the players discuss it by themselves first, she can wait until after the game is over.

It is precisely because of such a responsible team leader.

Only then can Fang Plover enjoy a period of quiet time, and finally be free from those messy meetings, face-to-face meetings, and harassment from interviews with newspapers and periodicals large and small across the empire.

Next, he just got together with the players from the three artisan association teams to discuss about ancient alchemy.Everyone in the arena had already seen the true meaning of the world behind the gate, but they still wanted to get an answer from him personally.

But the answer is actually very simple -

The Numelin elves possess magical power, are compatible with elements, and are good at using ether and elements to shape objects. Starting from their own talents, such an alchemy was born.

However, ordinary people's alchemy has found a new way, with the help of external force, it has crossed the gap called "element suitability" that ordinary people could not cross.With the help of the magic furnace, they have surpassed goblins and elves, and some of them can even stand shoulder to shoulder with giant dragons.

That is mortal.

Dragon Knight (Air Knight).

And the ancient alchemy taught by An Luoser to Fang Plover came from the skills of the Numelin elves. It stands to reason that mortals who are not born with magical powers cannot use it.But with the help of multiple parallel techniques from the Yuanhai document, use the magic furnace to simulate the elves' affinity for magic, and then use multiple parallels to describe the magic circles and runes they have used.

Thus reproducing this ancient technique.

"The reason why elf creation is complicated is because it does not belong to the category of modern alchemy, or even the alchemy of mortals," Fang Yan said eloquently.In front of him, there are Shui Wuming, Xiaoyao and others.

There are also players from the Kapuka Craftsman Association, and he still knows a few of them, having met at the Southland Contest.There are also a few who have dealt with in the Kapuka Artisan Association.It's just that those seniors who met in Kapuka may have difficulty remembering that I have had a few encounters with them at this moment.

After all, at that time, although he was deeply liked by the masters of the Kapuka Craftsman Association, he was actually just a little guy with no sense of existence among the chosen ones.

Vikki and Jung Young Jae are also among them.Soul Fingerprint doesn't like these Koreans very much, but at the request of the general leader, Princess Brian, they had to let the Guta people come here.

She deliberately suggested that Fang Plover had better have reservations about the Guta people.But Fang Plover never looked at it that way. He knew very well what the Guta competition area thought of Colin-Ishurian, but his instructor had told him that it was different from the regional differences of animals.

Misunderstandings between people are often artificially shaped due to lack of communication.

But only sincerity can move people.

He didn't want to change anything.

But the art of alchemy should not be limited to a certain place in the world after the star gate of Altaria. It was the imperial people who brought this art to the entire mortal world. The great alchemist Ed and his students have been Alchemy has not been kept private because of his personal status.

And the skills of mortals also come from the Numelin elves.

An Luoser is a dragon. Its real name is Mileusimis, but its student is still a human being.

Alchemy is expansive precisely because of its selflessness.

Fang Yan continued, "...Mortals do not have magical talent, so we must use multiple parallel techniques to reproduce the skills of elves. With this relationship, ancient alchemy becomes complicated."

"But it itself shows the simple beauty of elven alchemy."

"I understand..." Mu Lan also responded, "The mottled material comes from the impurities in it, but pure elements do not contain impurities, which is why this alchemy is so close to purification in the eyes of outsiders." The reason for the craftsmanship of the material."

"That's right." Fang Yan glanced at her appreciatively.The gifted craftsman of Ragnarok had shown remarkable understanding during the Southland Games, and it is the same here.

"Spirit Creation?" Another person raised his hand to speak.

"That's the name I gave this alchemy. I believe you can understand what it means. To shape elements from the starlight and use elements to shape the world is the underlying logic of elf creation. .”

"From starlight, to elements, and then to matter, there is no need to rely on external objects. You can imagine the scene. With such a magic circle, we can no longer be bound by the venue. At any time, any place, as long as the starlight Inexhaustible, matter generation will continue continuously.”

"Isn't that similar to creating something out of thin air?" Someone whispered.

This is the fact.

That is the most beautiful and charming scenery behind that gate.

Create matter, and even create life.

That is the art of creation that belongs to the elves.

"Of course, that's the highest level he's pursuing." Seeing the heated atmosphere, Fang Yan couldn't help pouring cold water on everyone, "Even the Numelin elves haven't reached that point yet. As for us, we have to think about how to recover." Only by discovering the highest skill level that the elves have ever possessed can we consider going further beyond that..."

Mortals cannot directly use the alchemy of the Numelin elves.

What An Luoser had taught him was just a theory.However, the way mortals use magic furnaces is very different from the way elves use their own magic power. He first transformed the theories of elves into modern alchemy theories step by step, and then realized them on paper.

That's why he only came into contact with the essence of ancient alchemy step by step in the sandy sea of ​​Istonia.

But there are many barriers behind.He went a step further through the configuration of the sea monster, almost approaching the field that the elves had touched, shaping matter from the elements, in the eyes of outsiders, it looks like a creation out of thin air-but after that, it is difficult to make any progress.

Even with the help of the Kraken configuration, the "creation out of thin air" still needs a huge amount of magic power, devouring energy like a black hole, even with the level of the γ magic furnace, it can't last for a few seconds.This level is basically impossible to apply in practice.

What's more, most of the alchemy creations generated in the siren configuration are very fragile. Whether it is a clockwork goblin or a lancer configuration, they are many times weaker than the usual ones. They are basically just the same.

Where the problem is, Fang Plover himself can't find out where the problem is.

The reason why he wants to gather these geniuses from all over the world is also because he has this idea. He alone has limited wisdom, but so many outstanding alchemists are here, brainstorming, there may always be some breakthroughs .

"Creation out of thin air..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help murmuring in a daze.

Even though there are various limitations in Fang Plover's words, the concept itself is still too shocking. If there is no evidence, or if they have not learned this alchemy, then they will definitely regard Fang Plover's words at this moment as nonsense language.

But at this moment.

The door was clearly in front of him.

As if within reach—

behind everyone.Among the Guta people, Vikki looked at Fang Plover with complicated eyes. She actually didn't like the players of Kaolin-Ishurian, and she called them "treasurers" before. A contempt for this place.

But apart from the Artisan Contest, she actually had no conflict with the Colin-Ishurians, she just went with the flow.People around her told her how arrogant the players in the third division were, and she had indeed seen some of them.

But there are always all kinds of people. Where are there no rude and uneducated people?
But what Fang Yan said at this moment, not to mention the selectors, even the craftsmen of the Ancient Pagoda Craftsman Association were completely shocked.

It was a speech that could change the future of alchemy, but the other party didn't mean to hide anything. It's okay for Kapuka and the Grand Craftsman Association, but they are Guta people——

the people of the mountain.

Are the Collins crazy?
But those are the Chosen Ones, the ones blessed by the Stargate.The first thought in the hearts of these mountain people was that this was a lie.But Fang Plover's frankness is obvious, and the knowledge of alchemy they have learned makes it impossible for them to refute it regardless of the facts.

Then there is only one possibility left.

The craftsmen of the Ancient Pagoda Craftsman Association, including several high-level alchemists, looked at Fang Plover differently.It was unreserved pure respect and shock, just like many, many years ago.

When the first generation of alchemists——

It is like bringing knowledge to the world of mortals who are still in the wild.

They were pupils of the Numelin elves.

He is also the founder of the Atalia civilization.

900 years ago, the Korin-Ishurian Artisan Guild was established. 700 years ago, the Guta Craftsman Association was established.It was an era of ignorance, and alchemists, regardless of each other, spread knowledge to every inch of the world.

Let the fire of civilization illuminate the wilderness and forest, and let the light of the flame dispel ignorance and fog.

Maybe their generation was wrong after all.

Maybe some people are wrong after all.

But the mistake was never corrected, and instead stubbornly took hold.

It casts prejudice into hatred, and hatred into war, causing men to bleed and women and children to shed tears.Let life be buried under the tombstone, and bright thorny flowers bloom on the tombstone.

The meeting was held several times later.

But Fang Plover was no longer the only one who spoke, and the alchemists all brought out their own treasured experiences and exchanged them with each other.

Portal views were only briefly broken.

Regional stereotypes have been dissipated only briefly, but enough to benefit everyone.Fang Yan also obtained a skill about the knowledge of the heavens from Weiyu, which was of great help to De Lan's research on magic power recovery.

Fang Plover estimated that at least [-]% of the progress could be increased.

Zheng Yongzai also gave him a crystal, which contains a skill that can temporarily improve computing power.It's just that Fang Yan's current thoughts are all on De Lan's magic recovery, and he doesn't have more experience to learn other knowledge for the time being.

Unlike Vikki's complex views on the Kaolin-Ishurians, this young man from the Ancient Tower Craftsman's Guild admired him purely.

This has been the case since the Southern Territory Competition, and after experiencing this incident, the latter has already regarded Fang Yan as a mentor.

But the biggest surprise for Fang Yan was that after several exchange meetings, he gained a lot of knowledge and experience.He jumped one level directly from level 25, and finally raised his level again after the Great War in the North, reaching level 26.

He didn't expect to have this benefit in communicating with his peers.He also communicated with many aboriginal craftsmen before, but unfortunately the income was limited.It seems that at this stage, the knowledge of the Chosen is far longer than that of the alchemists of the aborigines.

It's just Weiyu, Shui Wuming, and Vikki's level of craftsmen, Fang Plover expected that he would not be able to meet more in the first world.Of course, there are other craftsman association members, but whether the other party will sincerely communicate with him about alchemy is still a matter of opinion.

He can only focus on something more realistic.

Other than that, there was little to talk about in the first half of the first round.

The only game worthy of attention was the one between Fang Plover and the Mimenos Craftsman Association, but it wasn't an upset either.The odds of the outcome of the two are about fifty to five in the outside world. Because of the reputation of the dragon alchemist, the odds of the Colin-Ishurian Association are even lower.

Next is the second half of the first round.The opponent for the second half of the round has already been determined. It is one of the teams selected from the audition. Judging from the first half of the round, it is considered a weak team.

This game is not to mention an upset.

The other party chose the two categories of plug-in and magic device for the missing items of the Grand General Assembly. The soul fingerprint also respectfully chose the crystal and flexible construction category that the other party lacked, and returned the color.

The result was basically a one-sided massacre.The Geland General Assembly used Shui Wuming to handle the magic device category, and the plug-ins were handed over to Luo Wei, and the crystal and flexible structures were naturally played by Xiaoyao and MTT.

As a result, Luo Wei, who replaced Wucun as a plug-in craftsman, also surpassed her opponent in total points.Shui Wuming himself is an all-around player, and he also crushes his opponents in magic tools.It goes without saying that the latter is happy and MTT.

At the end of the round, they defeated their opponents by a big score of 192 points to 173 points.

On the other side, Mu Lan and the others also went to find out that the Mimenos Artisan Association also won the second game, scoring 194 points in the end, which was 2 points higher than the Grande General Assembly, which was regarded as a victory.

A total of five rounds will be played in Bavarian.

The next round of competition is scheduled to take place in three days. This time, Grande will not continue his "good luck", and will face a team from Rotao overseas. The opponent's strength is not strong. Soul Fingerprint and Bai Xue In the first round, Wucun, Xiaoyao, MTT and Weiyu played and defeated their opponents by a small margin.

In the second half of the round, they also encountered an audition team. In this round, the Chinese Plover didn't even play. Soul Fingerprint used the excuse of letting Guland get acquainted with the atmosphere of the competition, and let the young man go up and have a try.But it was not the potion item that he was familiar with, but the magic tool item that he exchanged with Mu Lan.

Although this young man from Istonia is considered a newcomer, his performance on the court is quite satisfactory, defeating his opponent by a score advantage of [-] point and winning the victory.However, considering that the opponent is only an audition team, Guland seems to be the weakest link in the Grand General Assembly in the eyes of the outside world.

And this is exactly what the soul fingerprint wants to achieve.

Although Fang Yan felt that no matter how he thought about it, the soul just didn't want to let him play.

Of course, this guess was self-defeating in the third round.

In the third round, he was once again designated as the starter by Soul Fingerprint, and together with Shui Wuming defeated another team from the Hill of Giant Trees by a big score.Then in the second half, it lost to an artisan association supported by the brotherhood of the empire by three points.

The three pillars of the Empire's Chosen forces, in addition to the SOLID Alliance and Gray Field, are the famous Brotherhood.The latter originally originated from the First Freedom Chosen Guild in the First Division, and was later incorporated into a super club, and transformed into the Third Guild of the Empire today.

The largest free-chosen guild in the first division now fell on Prometheus.

According to the analysis of Virus and Ming, this team is not strong, at least not as good as the Aynbrok Craftsman Association with the Empire's double star, nor as good as the Imperial Craftsmanship Association supported by Gray Field, and maybe even better than the Memenos Craftsman Association. The association is still a little behind.

However, the team from the Hill of Giant Trees they met in the first round was also considered a strong opponent. In order to ensure a stable score, they played their best in the first half of the round.In the second half of the round, it is normal for the team to be led by a whisper, and it is normal to lose to the opponent.

After three rounds of competition, Grand Craftsman has accumulated 576 points, ranking sixth in the standings.Followed by the Mimenos Craftsman Association, with 574 points, ranked seventh.

It is no surprise that the first and second place is the Aiyin Brock Artisan Association with the double stars of the empire, and the Imperial Capital Artisan Association. The Oshu people have always been ahead of the nations in alchemy. This result is not surprising. .

But the No.3 Sanshak Craftsman Association from the Hill of Giant Trees was somewhat unexpected.

According to the data collected by Bi Fang, this team seems to have always been smooth and steady, defeating the opponent without any surprises, surpassing the Artisans Association of the Empire, trailing behind the first and second.

But often it is such a smooth opponent that makes people feel the most difficult.

Afterwards, the fourth and fifth are regulars on the previous rankings, but it does not mean that their level should be in this position, or that they are better than the home team of Colin-Ishurians.

It's also possible that these teams have encountered weak opponents in the previous rounds, and there is room for formation, so naturally the points will be higher.

At the end of the day, the first few rounds of the points race don't really tell much from it.

In this way, the time passed smoothly in one game after another.

……
