return to edgar

Hohenheim is said to be the name of the first mage. After thousands of years of development, the small village named after it has become the largest human city today. It is also the only one with a population of more than [-] after the fall of the old empire. In the metropolis, a council composed of peak mages controls the entire Hohenheim and even the human mage world.

As early as the beginning of the Silver Age, Bray was already a legendary great magister. As one of the few surviving saints, he seldom interfered with the outside world. The request to meet Link by name caused huge waves within the council.Not only in the mage world, after the news spread, the whole continent was curious about who the new guardian of the Pillar of Earth was, so that the great sage who had not cared about world affairs for a long time could be summoned in person.

Considering safety issues, Hull personally led a group of Wind Falcons to Hohenheim, where Link hid among them without using spells, and it was difficult to distinguish him from other Wind Falcons just by appearance.

This was the first time in hundreds of years that the Druids representing the Alliance of Nature and the Children of Nature stepped into the territory of Hohenheim. The mages of the Dead House all left the academy and their respective towers to watch this rare scene.Led by a giant eagle, a black cloud of hundreds of kestrels covered the sky, and as they descended, Hohenheim lifted the protective outer barrier.

The mages in red and blue robes stand silently at the highest point of the city. There is a staircase extending to the sky, which is narrow enough for only one person to walk.

After sending people there, Hull took Feng Falcon and left through the gap in the barrier that was about to close.

"The great sage is waiting for you up there." The blue-robed mage nodded slightly at Link, and the red-robed female mage turned slightly sideways, following her gaze. Only then did Link notice that the narrow stairs were not only hanging in the air, but also translucent. shape, the color and outline become lighter as you go up.

Link reached out to step on the stairs, and the soles of his feet came into contact with the stairs made of unknown material, making a dull and weird sound, as if stepping on some kind of hollow object, producing the sound of air being expelled.Stepping on the other foot, although there is still a strange sound, the steps on the bottom of the foot are extremely stable, neither shaking nor softening.

Walking up the endless stairs that don't know where to go, every time you take a step, you can feel the blazing sight behind you increase by one point.Link became more and more frightened as he walked, and the translucent steps under his feet gradually faded away. He stood in mid-air as if hanging in the air, and there was no way ahead.

"Exhale...inhale...exhale...inhale..." Repeating the movement of exhaling air deeply, this is Link's self-regulation method.

calm!Don't mess yourself up!Such a formal welcome, of course, is not an insult or a joke.This should be the test given by the great sage Bray, the road is here, and it is my own problem not to see it.

See through invisibility?No, this is not a simple invisibility technique.

Link used divine perception and saw that the stairs kept forking and criss-crossing, making it difficult to tell which one was real like a maze.He used the Apocalypse again, and only one path glowed with white fluorescent light. Link was about to step on it, but the fluorescent light gradually dimmed.He hurriedly used the newly obtained special skills, and he appeared magically.The fluorescent lights that marked the correct path continued to flicker. At this moment, Link could no longer care about where the ladder led, so he ran quickly, and disappeared from the mage's sight in a short while.

"Going up." The red-robed female mage said, staring at the direction where Link disappeared.

"It's not surprising that the Son of Nature carries the power of the gods." The man in the blue robe replied calmly.

"You are not curious at all, what is Master Bray looking for from him?"

The mage in blue didn't answer, and directly activated the teleportation spell and left.

"This ladder... sooner or later, I will go up." Looking up at the more transparent and substanceless stairs, the red-robed female mage left mutteringly.

At the end of the ladder is an object modeled after Edgar's Ring, which is different from the patterns seen in inheritance and books, this one is three-dimensional.The two non-stop rotating rings of gold and silver look like armillary spheres, and the cross needles representing elements inside are also spinning on their own.

After turning around Edgar's Circle, Link didn't see anyone other than him.

"Is anyone there? Hello~ Bray...Master?"

After the words were spoken, Link found a shadow sitting beside him. It slowly got up, and its outline gradually became clear and its color gradually deepened. Finally, it became an old man in a white robe.The weather-beaten face gave people a sense of the vicissitudes of the years, and Link subconsciously backed away.

"I'm Bray..." The old man's first sentence was slightly confused and doubtful. When he repeated the sentence again, his muddy eyes became sharp and energetic, "Yes, I'm Bray."

"Young candidate, welcome to the Ladder. This is the intersection of mortals and saints, and the dividing point of law." The voice of the great sage Bray is not as old as his face, but full of magnetism, " First of all, congratulations on finding the right path."

It all depends on divine power, otherwise I wouldn't be halfway there... Link thought silently in his heart.

"Not all priests can cross this line, which means that you are deeply favored by the gods."

After being told by Bray what he was thinking, Link laughed dryly and went straight to the point, "You asked to see me, why?"

"Hundreds of years ago, I transcended the world and reached the rank of a saint. But there is one thing that has not been resolved for a long time, so I have to stay in the material world."

It is even more impossible for me to solve things that can't be solved by transcending the ordinary and becoming a saint.Alas ~ Oops, forgot that he has mind reading skills.As soon as Link finished complaining, he immediately regretted his habitual behavior.

Bray chuckled twice, without any intention of blaming him, he handed a palm-sized crystal bottle to Link.

"I need a source of untainted magic power."

"What's that?" If it's an acquaintance, Link might answer, can you eat it?But in front of this so-called human being's strongest mage, he didn't dare to make mistakes. Facing Bray, he had a stronger sense of restraint than facing Hull.

"The source of magic power is the purest water in Edgar, which can only be collected near the Pillar of Water. If you can complete this difficult task, I will give you Lena's relic." Yun Dan said of Bray The wind is light, but it sounds like thunder to Link's ears.

Lena's legacy!

With previous experience, Link concluded that the so-called relic must be Lena's Noble Phantasm of Destiny, accompanied by the Mojo of Destiny.

I didn't think that Hohenheim was the main thread, and if I didn't understand how Yan Dong occupied Lena's body to deceive Su Wen, I couldn't get rid of the causal law it imposed on the whole conspiracy.

It's just... why did the great sage ask me to help him obtain the source of magic power?According to the azimuth distribution of the earth, fire, and wind, the Pillar of Water must be in the north, which is the territory of the undead.Moreover, Bracken can use Lena's relics to trade with me. He must know what I want to do. Why doesn't the so-called strongest mage of mankind refuse to come forward to deal with Frost and Cold?

Link used intelligence analysis on Bray, and although the data obtained were as pitiful as Hull's, the level was as high as 80!It can completely crush Frost and Cold's level 50. If the old man makes a move, he will definitely kill the guy from the inside out. Iris and the glow elves don't have to retreat to the sea, and they won't cause so much trouble.

Link didn't deliberately suppress the thoughts in his head, he just wanted to know, even the Son of Nature, who claims to not interfere with the balance, participated, why, as a human being, he bears the title of the strongest, why didn't Bray get rid of Frost and Cold?In the northern battle alone, 10 people died, which was equivalent to the population of Hohenheim. He couldn't bear to watch so many lives die...

"The stronger you are, the more you are bound by the law, not only you and me, but also the gods." Bray replied flatly, and asked about Link's decision by the way.

"Why me?" Hull is also a child of nature, he is better than me in terms of level and ability, why not choose him?

"Because you are a life weaver." Bray didn't say much, but he got to the point every time.

"The last question, what does the source of uncontaminated magic power mean?" Link always felt that there was something wrong with this sentence.

Bray was silent for a moment, and stretched out his skinny fingers towards the rotating Edgar's Ring. The two circles of gold and silver symbolizing light and darkness overlapped, the pointers of the four elements gathered into a line, and a deep and dark portal opened in the center of the ring.

"The Pillar of Water has been polluted by undead. Only by going back to the past time can we find the source of pure magic power."

Such plots are very common in games, and Link didn't think there was any problem. He took the crystal bottle, "How do I get back?"

"I have laid down the law of karma, and you can come back after taking the source of magic power. You don't have to worry about whether your strength can cope with the danger you encounter. Going back to the past, your child of nature's ability will be greatly enhanced."

Bray is fine with everything, and Link can't and can't refuse. If he wants Lena's relic, he must go back to the past to help him get the pure source of magic power.

Drilling into the portal, the light flickered randomly, making Link unable to open his eyes, only listening to the whistling wind in his ears.

I'm falling?

In an instant, it turned into a peregrine falcon and flapped its wings, finally avoiding the danger of falling to death.

After his eyes adapted to the strong sunlight, Link realized that he was above the endless ocean. The dazzling light came from the refraction of the shallow sea. The situation improved after lowering the altitude.

Link was full of doubts, where was he teleported?I heard that the Sea of ​​Storms has a harsh climate, with strong winds and huge waves all the year round, it shouldn't be such a peaceful and beautiful scene.

A fish suddenly jumped out of the sea, and the splash of water brought a cool feeling to his face. Link looked down and saw where the fish was.

One by two, more and more naga broke through the water, greeted Link friendly, and called him 'the messenger from the east. '

The peregrine falcon is the incarnation of Gasos, and the Pillar of Wind is in the east. It seems correct to say that...

Changing direction under the guidance of Naga, Link was amazed by these underwater species, they even managed to walk in the water without swinging their snake tails.After flying for about half an hour, an island appeared on the surface of the sea. The range was small, and the white beam of light soaring into the sky showed its identity—the pillar of water, where the power of the water god Andrea gathered.

ps: I have to restore the 2nd update again, I am worried that I won't be able to write so much and it will become nonsense.I just like to mess around, and play weird reasoning lines without going astray at the beginning of the planned game.Fortunately, all kinds of inexplicable first volumes are coming to an end, and the story of getting rid of the phylactery can enter the real fantasy rhythm.
