Pillars of Ita

Chapter 963 Chapter 290 Act Four Like Stars
Fang Plover explained to Aona the reason for the Holy Chosen One, but Aona half-understood it.

No wonder, 600 years after the fall of the Elkins dynasty, a group of aliens came to this world. This kind of thing is too incredible.

Aona turned around and said to the kobold: "Pepe, go and move a ladder."

The latter nodded and left, Ao Na turned around, thought for a while, and asked: "So...Mr. Ed and your companions were not from this world, but were chosen by the gods to come to Aita. Li Ya, I have never heard of such a thing before, so it must be Ms. Roman who chose Mr. Ed?"

"No. Strictly speaking, the Chosen Ones are not chosen for any god. Rather, they work for the Saints of Orin."

Fang Plover hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether this description was accurate or just based on his own judgment.

He doesn't know how to explain what the star gate is. For ordinary people, this is common sense and does not need to be explained. Most people are familiar with the events of the past 100 years, but the princess of the end of the world has been underground for 700 years and completely missed two A time when the worlds merged with each other.

To go deeper, to be honest, even the chosen ones themselves may not understand what their reasons are.

That will involve why the stargate appeared. The academic community has been arguing about this issue for more than a century and only got some plausible hypotheses.

And if it is said that they are the chosen ones, why did the saints choose them?

As the travel time got longer, Fang Plovers felt more and more that the Chosen ones were bearing a certain kind of gaze, and that gaze came from a high place, just like the glances Marlan and Ameya cast on him.

Ordinary people may attribute it to their own specialness, but for higher-level beings such as gods, will they pay attention to which ant is more special?
The commonality and characteristics of mortals coexist with each other, but it seems that Stargate pays more attention to the commonality of the group of chosen ones rather than the specificity.All the saints cast their eyes in more than one place, they didn't so much notice a certain person.

It is better to say that he has noticed the subtle trend of the development of the incident.

Mortals are just in it.

Not just him, probably others too.

In many places, many events are happening at the same time, Fang Plover magnifies his experience in Istonia to the whole of Etalia, maybe the Saints of Olin are planning something.

His thinking was a little divergent, and Pepe had already moved a ladder over, looking at the two of them flatteringly, wagging his tail.It has a pointed tail with smooth scales on it, like a stick.

"Put the ladder there, open the cabinet above the bookshelf, and let Mr. Horta take down the contents." Aona instructed it.

Pepe shook her tail again, leaned the ladder over and placed it on a brown bookshelf in that direction, climbed up with hands and feet, and opened the door of the cabinet there.

The cabinet is locked, but Pepe is different from all the kobolds that Fang Plover recognizes. It is very smart and can distinguish how to use tools.

There was a bunch of keys hanging on the back of it, and the bunch of keys was set on an iron ring. Pepe quickly counted one out of it, inserted it into the keyhole, and opened the lock with a click, and the lock head popped open with a sound.

It showed a joyful look, and looked back at Aona below. The girl nodded slightly to it, and Pepe turned around excitedly to open the cabinet.

At this time, the head of the tall iron statue on the side lit up, and it stood up with a heavy muffled sound, and pulled out an iron box half a person's height from the cabinet, lifted it and gently placed it on the ground.

Aona looked at the box with a melancholy expression, a look of anticipation flashed in her eyes, she walked over, stroked the iron box with her hand, and said: "I haven't seen it for many years, those things are here Inside the box, but Hellingwell, Jeldham, and Friston are all extremely proud people, and the questions they left behind are not so easy to solve."

"You have to try it to find out."

Fang Yan said something realistically, and he didn't have any chances in his heart. Hai Linweier is Hai En's student, and those three people must be legendary figures in history. When they complete the tower-type magic furnace, they should at least It also has the level of a great craftsman.

Even though 700 years have passed, the mathematical problems left hundreds of years ago have not yet been solved, and there are many on the earth.

He looked at the box, and the heavy iron box had been completely oxidized into black—or it wasn’t called oxidation here, but he didn’t know what elemental reaction it should be. It was originally etched with patterns on the surface. Pasted with a layer of copper carvings, the appearance has not changed much after hundreds of years.

This iron box looks relatively exquisite from the outside, and an exposed gear structure can be seen on one corner, where an emerald is inlaid, like a winding place.Fang Plover felt a little familiar when he saw that gemstone.

This is a crystal approximate fitting problem, which requires craftsmen to connect as many nodes as possible from the shortest distance. This problem has been developed in every era, and there are as many as 120 seven nodes today.

Fang Yan became a little curious. Which one of Hellingwell, Jerdham, and Friston left this institution, and the most likely one should be Hellingwell. Good at these theoretical topics.

But there is also a great possibility in Jedham, and such an exquisite mechanism can also be produced by ingenious mechanism craftsmen.

Aona said: "This is a crystal fitting problem. Helinwell gave three kinds of answers, but these are his own research level. In that era, even people from the Royal Academy of Alchemy may not necessarily able……"

But before she finished speaking, she blinked in surprise.

Fang Yan had already put his hand on it, but before him, Xiaoyao took a step faster, covered the crystal with his hand first, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, "89 nodes, but this curve has never been seen before."

He opened his eyes and looked at Fang Plover, "You come or I come."

"Come on," the academic problem is the best solution now. Although he has excellent talent in connecting planetary devices with multiple parallelism levels, he thinks that a small problem with 89 nodes can be solved at the opponent's level. It shouldn't be possible to go wrong.

"Wait, that's..." Aona wanted to say something, but the emerald shone slightly, several gears turned a few clockwise, and there was a slight clicking sound under the mechanism.

Then a trap door slid open on the iron box, and inside was a lock in the shape of a clock.

Aona cautiously closed her mouth.

"what?"

There was a novel expression on Xiaoyao's face, "This is a universal lock. The universal device on the magic glove was developed through this. There was such a thing back then."

"This lock was left by Friston..." the girl said in a surprised tone, as if she hadn't recovered from the shock just now.

She looked at the few people present.

Even she couldn't open the crystal fitting device so easily.

It's not that she hasn't seen the alchemists of this era. Orta has also come into contact with the craftsmen of the Empire from afar. Those people's level is acceptable, and occasionally there are things that shock her beyond her era.

But even those people, she thought, would take some time with the locks.These young people had just come across these young people by chance, and she had thought that they might spend a lot of time on this problem.

Not even a bloody head bump.

But the truth is far from that.

"What is the origin of these people?" She thought to herself, "It seems to be Kaolin people, but are the Kaolin people's alchemy level so high now, or are they just the alchemists of King Ishurian? College students?"

Ishurian Royal Alchemy Academy is the only academy she knows where Colin people teach magic skills, but she doesn't know if it still exists.

But what Aona didn't expect was that although the Ishurian King's Alchemy Academy still exists today, the reality is far from what she imagined.

Because the students of Wangli Alchemy Academy may be far inferior to these young people in front of her.

Especially in the same age group, looking at the entire first world, it is difficult to find another combination like this.

Needless to say, Xiaoyao, Shui Wuming, and Luo Wei are the top geniuses of Silver Wislan, Elite, and Godslayer. If they are said to have equivalent geniuses in the Empire and the Hill of Giant Trees, they can replace them.

But Fang Plover, who was next to the three of them, even if he was the self-proclaimed twin star of the empire, he dare not say that he must be better than the dragon alchemist in their eyes, especially in the continental league to this day.

Fang Plover's reputation has long been more than that.

However, Xiaoyao didn't notice the look of the girl beside him, and still said to himself: "This second question is quite difficult. The inside of the universal lock is essentially one or several ciphers, but the only way to unlock the cipher is by a craftsman." No, you have to have a password book."

"The code book is on this bookshelf." Aona said suddenly, "This mechanism was left by Friston. He said that the code is placed in the works related to the pipeline magic furnace, right here The wall of the book, because only those who understand the magic furnace are worthy of opening this lock."

"Pipe-type magic furnace, I saw it, the one with the golden spine, "Amorphous Inclusions: An Introduction to Maltram's Technology, Volume [-]", I saw this book in a technical magazine, I didn't expect it to be published here. There are entities, and the entire second and third chapters in it are related to the magic furnace." Xiaoyao pointed to a book in the third row on the bookshelf.

But that's all he knew, so he looked at other people and said, "That's all I know. Are any of you familiar with such an old pipe-type magic furnace?"

""Magic Furnace Design Performance", "Ether Sealing and Leakage Prevention", "Introduction to Runes and Metal Materials." Shui Wuming glanced at him, glanced at the bookshelf, and pointed out three books in a row.

"So much?" Xiaoyao was somewhat skeptical, "Wu Ming, you didn't know about that antique magic furnace, did you?"

Shui Wuming rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "You were probably dozing off in the history of technology class."

"That's it." Luckily, Xiaoyao had a thick skin and didn't care about the ridicule. He just took those books from the bookshelf and piled them on the huge workbench.

But he immediately got into trouble with these thick tomes and turned the pages with his hands, each of which contained hundreds of pages.

Xiaoyao asked with a bitter face: "Not every chapter here is related to the Magic Furnace, and we haven't really studied them, so how do we know which chapter the password is hidden in? It can't really take a few days of hard work In these obsolete technologies?"

Fang Plover sighed, "I'll do it."

"That's great," Xiaoyao immediately cheered up, "Ed, how much time do you need?"

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome," Fang Yan shook his head, "You can just start solving it."

"You read so fast?"

But Xiaoyao soon realized that the truth was not that simple.

The first group of passwords in the universal lock appears in a form similar to Caesar's password, which is a replacement encryption technology. All letters in the plaintext are backward (or forward) on the ciphertext according to a fixed The number is offset and replaced with ciphertext.

Cooperating with Shui Wuming, he quickly found the message left by the other Friston from the fixed track of the escapement device, which was a simple combination of letters and numbers.

The two immediately looked at Fang Plover.

""Magic Furnace Design Performance", the first letter represents the chapter name, and Fyn is the abbreviation of crystal technology, just turn to Chapter 7." Fang Ploy looked at Luo Wei who was flipping through the book, and reminded: "Senior sister Just turn to page 232. I have seen the original of this book. The numbers and letters behind are the real password sequence. The third line, the seventh, eighth and ninth letters, the fifth line, the first, the first Four, the sixth letter..."

"A, E, M... N, F, E."

Luo Wei raised her head and looked at him in surprise, "This is the abbreviation of the principle of the pipe-type magic furnace, and the following letters are probably the abbreviation of Friston's own title in the imperial text."

"Really?" Xiaoyao entered the password with some doubts.

With a click, the lock opened.

"Damn, it's true!" He exclaimed in surprise.

But then there are several layers of passwords, which are encrypted in different ways. They began to divide and cooperate. Xiaoyao and Shui Wuming are responsible for reading the information left in the mechanism, and Luo Wei is responsible for comparing and consulting.

Fang Plover reported which book and which chapter those letters and numbers corresponded to.

""Magic Furnace Design Performance", the fourth section, the third paragraph, 14, 23, 27, the seventh and ninth paragraphs, 7, 23, 15, 19, 21."

""Amorphous Inclusions: An Introduction to Maltram's Technology, Volume Three", Chapter 2, Paragraph 1, 4, 5, 27, 3, Chapter 12, No. 3 Paragraphs, 9, 24, [-]."

But Xiaoyao suddenly got stuck.

"What's wrong?" Luo Wei closed the last book in her hand, and looked at the other party curiously.

"There is still the last set of passwords, but we have no books." Xiaoyao looked at the others speechlessly, "I checked the abbreviation, and it doesn't match the book we have."

"How could this be?"

The Paparars were the first to jump up.

They can't interfere with the craftsman's work, and the others are fine, just quietly watching a few people decipher.

But Parker himself could no longer hold back his loneliness. Instead of wasting time here, he would rather go out and have a fight with the Imperials.

There was nothing in this place, and the promised treasures were just some worthless technical documents in his opinion. If those things were so good, even if they were sold for money, they would not fall into his hands.

The others also looked at Aona.

The girl was somewhat embarrassed, "Jerdem, Helinwell, and Friston actually left this mechanism only to prevent others from obtaining these technical documents, and they didn't lock the box, just because they thought it was impossible for anyone to unlock it." Open these organs. But they didn't intend to leave the answer, they took away many books before leaving, and the one that included the answer to the mystery has already been taken away..."

"Please, ma'am, you should have said it earlier," Xiaoyao was speechless, spreading his hands, "Isn't our effort all in vain?"

"It's not in vain." Luo Wei pressed her hand on the book, pondered for a while and said, "There is no such book here, but the outside world may not have it either. Doesn't the Imperial Workshop have the most complete book about alchemy?" Do you collect books?"

"Are we going to run again?"

"Don't be so troublesome," Fang Yan suddenly stood up, causing everyone to look at him in surprise, "There is no need to look for that book, I have already thought of it, "Magic Technology Theory, Volume One", and the pipeline method The only remaining technical literature related to the magic furnace is this book, which is not here."

"Wait," Xiaoyao suddenly realized something, "You won't...?"

"Sy'ton, Chapter 3, Crystalline Properties and Etheric Affinity, A5, Section Five, N7, B2, A5, is the Letter J, D, M, A7, Section Seven, B5, B3, C9, is the Letter S, A, V."

Fang Plover raised his head and looked at San Dao who was looking at him in shock, "Don't be dazed, just type it in and have a look. After such a long time, I'm not sure if my memory is correct."

Only then did Xiaoyao come back to his senses, and typed the six letters mechanically.

With a soft sound, the gimbal turned counterclockwise once, then stopped slightly, and then the entire dial was opened.

"Damn!" Xiaoyao yelled again, then raised his head and looked at Fang Plover as if looking at a monster, "Ed, you are not that Friston, are you? Don't tell me that you are also from 700 Years ago?"

"What are you kidding?" Fang Yan said angrily.But he didn't expect that some of the books he read in Kapuka could be useful today.

And since he got the Dragon Knight system, his memory is getting better and better.He already has an excellent memory. He completed the basic courses of apprenticeship in Kapuka so quickly. Without relying on the system, he all relied on it.

But if he could remember every line and every word in the book two years later, he would never have been able to do it in the past, as if the system had printed that knowledge into his mind.

He asked Jita and Luo Yu, it seems that the system of ordinary people does not have such a situation, they can call and retrieve from the system, but the knowledge is not printed in their own memory.

But what exactly this meant, Fang Plover himself didn't understand for a while.

He has always been a pragmatist, as long as he can use it, he will use it first, just like this moment.

However, this obviously shocked Luo Wei and the others a little. Everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade was fine. They had seen too much magic in Fang Plover, and they were no longer so strange that they were numb.

Even Aona glanced at Fang Plover in surprise.

But she didn't think anything of it. After all, in her impression, Jeldham, Hellingwell, and Friston were all such one-in-a-million geniuses. Because she had seen too many of them, she was not so strange.

But as the box opened, she couldn't help holding her breath slightly.

She tried her best to restrain her excitement, and said to Fang Yan: "There is one last question, Mr. Ed."

"I saw it, eh... wait, what is this!?" Xiaoyao answered first, but he looked under the dial, his originally excited expression froze on his face, and turned into a puzzled expression.

Shui Wuming and Luo Wei also looked at the mechanism under the dial strangely, they had never seen such a bizarre device.

Among the crowd, only Fang Plover suddenly stood up from his seat, and approached the dial a few steps forward. He looked at the device below, raised his head again, and looked at Ao Na who was at the side with a little shortness of breath. asked:
"What is this, Ms. Aona?"

"I don't know either," the girl shook her head lightly, "I only know that this is an institution left by Jeldom. What's the matter, does Mr. Ed know this institution?"

Fang Plover closed his eyes and shook his head in denial.

He really didn't know this institution either.

But it's hard to say you haven't seen...

It was a gray gem, inserted in the criss-cross pipe network below, like a center, gathering the flickering starlight here, and a layer of strange light emerged on the surface of the gem.

The light flickered and blurred like stars.
