Can you become stronger without paying money?

Having said that, Riel stopped in his tracks. He walked to the center of the square and reached out to caress the huge stone tablet in the center of the square.

"...The only thing that the ancient elves worshiped was the 'great sage who knows the past and the present', that is, the 'ancient one'."

Sapphire followed Riel's movements and turned her eyes. She thought there would be something on the stele, but when she looked closely, she found that the stele was actually a flat, smooth surface with nothing on it. Absurd, could it be said that the ancient elves were full and supported themselves, so they erected a big square stone in the center of the square to play with?

Riel smiled slightly, and then secretly poured magic power into the stone tablet. Immediately, the surface of the originally clean stone tablet glowed faintly. At the same time, the whole stone tablet turned into a ball of shining light with a bang. The stele disintegrated and disappeared without a trace, countless large and small rays of light converged into shining stars one after another, and under the protection of these stars was the image of an old man.

It is not a cold stone sculpture, but a projection that is completely lifelike, with vivid eyebrows, eyes and facial features, just like a real person!

This old man has a kind appearance, and the contours of his facial features can be recognized. He should be a handsome guy when he was young, but unfortunately time is a butcher's knife. Now he is a wrinkled old man. The appearance of the old man is not outstanding, but those eyes Very energetic, in those deep eyes... there is a flash of wisdom that seems to be beyond the capacity of the whole world, and those eyes seem to penetrate the sky and extend to the endless end.

The old man stroked his beard with one hand and stretched out the other. On the stretched out hand was a quietly rotating blue celestial body.

He was wearing an old-fashioned mage robe. The ancient style of the mage robe was only seen in history books, and only in pictures. It is an important national treasure-level cultural relic...

There are a whole row of medals pinned to the robe of the mage. Although it looks funny, and it looks a bit like the outfit used by charlatans, but those who understand the meaning of these medals will never laugh, because these medals are picked at random. One of them represents some kind of ultimate achievement that is enough for ordinary mages to pursue for a lifetime.

Assuming that these medals are genuine, and that these honors all belong to the same person...

... Well, this is nonsense, here are the ruins of the ancient elves, there is no need for the ancient elves to create a holographic projection of a charlatan and put it here, so this thing is 100% genuine.

Sapphire didn't say anything, but quietly bowed deeply to the old man, Riel also took two steps back and bowed in the same way.

"Let's pay my respects to this pioneer of human beings. Hehe, I have only seen him in the Magic Academy before, and all I saw were sculptures and portraits. This kind of real-life projection is not even for His Majesty the Emperor, and this The old man's current direct descendants have never seen it~"

... Serena, who was far away in the city of Atlantis, sneezed violently.

"In short, there are no temples here, and there are no imaginary gods to be worshipped by people. Those who are eligible to be worshiped by everyone are those sages who have made great contributions to all mankind and the whole world. World Tree Floats The outer layer of the island is the construction area for the people who live and work here, and then, the center is the 'research area'..."

Riel pointed at the crystalline tree, "Did you see it? Just around that tree, those buildings belong to the research area. The people who live here usually work here, and their job is to research Some of the latest and most cutting-edge technologies have functions somewhat similar to the Magic Research Institute, well, it can also be said to be the predecessor of the Magic Research Institute, after all, the concept of the Magic Research Institute was originally proposed by this old man."

After all, Riel stepped on his foot again...

"Then is our feet... here is the 'factory area'..."

"Factory? What does it produce?"

As soon as Sapphire opened her mouth, Riel showed a dangerous smile, "Well, they produced a lot of harmonious things. The ancient elves were not good men and women. They always believed in one thing. Bread and flowers can be exchanged for friendship. Naturally, it is best for them. I’m not stingy about offering friendship to other beings that belong to intelligent creatures, just like I did to ancient humans, but if there are brains that don’t have eyes or can’t communicate, cannons and fists are the trump cards for them to sit down and talk~”

To put it simply...the so-called factory area is an arsenal of ancient elves...

"The last part is naturally the crystalline tree. The part connecting the imaginary space is a restricted area that even the ancient elves who once lived here are not eligible to enter at will. The so-called 'little surprise' of Zhenyue is probably hidden in this Of course, it’s not our current goal~”

Sapphire has already understood, "Understood, you mean... the target is the factory area under our feet? No wonder, it is indeed a place full of excitement..."

The arsenal of ancient elves!You must know that the things made by the ancient elves, although they have become relics, most of them are fully functional. Not to mention, the Luna Shuttle, which has just passed away, has been in the turbulent air from the time it was completed to the time it was handed over. I don't know how many thousands of years have passed through the baptism of time, but the quality is still amazing.

If something moving is dug out from the ancient elf's arsenal, it's no joke anyway.

It’s no wonder Riel and Sapphire are going to form a team. This is simply more exciting than entering the dragon’s pond and tiger’s lair. Once something is accidentally activated by hand, it’s really a near-death deal. But having said that, Riel’s What are you going to find here?

Of course, the more critical question now is...

"...You said it's below, so how do we go down? Dig a hole on the spot?"

Of course, this is definitely an impossible option. Although physically speaking, the factory area is indeed located directly under the artificial island, and it is not hidden in the fictional space. Digging a hole on the spot is indeed one of the feasible options, but after all There is an easier way to go, and there is no need to use such tragic means.

"Don't be so troublesome, have you seen this projection?" Riel knocked on the base of the holographic projection, "This thing is a portal, the same portal, there are more than three digits on this island, any one They can all enter the underground factory area, of course, this is one of the reasons why I told Ai Lu and the others not to touch anything..."

After all, the quality of these portals is high, and they can still be used without any hindrance for so many years. If they are accidentally activated by Ai Lu and the others, it will be a lot of fun. Riel knows how powerful it is, and will not kill him casually, but Ai Lu If you accidentally touch something that shouldn't be touched, then everyone can only consider killing it all the way. There is absolutely no operating authority. The identity of this ancient relic depends on soul binding, even if Riel I can't even brush my face...

"Then get ready..." Riel pressed his hands on the base of the holographic projection, "Let's go down and find the baby!"

Chapter 220 Two Cold Blade Wuxin ([-])

Just to clarify, Penguin will go to Shanghai CP to watch Xueba sell books tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so the update will be suspended for two days...

...Ah, it's great to be able to sell books or something.

Cough cough, stop talking, although Xueba, a big dog, proposed that I help the platform with women's clothing, but Penguin, how could I agree?Of course it was a righteous rejection!

This is to see Xueba's joke, wouldn't women's clothing become a joke for me? !I am not stupid!

Penguins...knock hard! (chest out)

Well, next is the text, above...

————————————————————————————————————

"Riel... in this situation, do you have anything to say to me?"

"...people make mistakes, horses make mistakes, old drivers also accidentally drive the wrong way, this is life~"

"Oh, that is to say, in your eyes, the current situation we have encountered...is it just a wrong road?"

"Okay...the car overturned!!!"

Riel and Sapphire looked back at the same time, looking at the three mechanical discs frantically calling the alarm and chasing after them. The two arrived at the factory area on the lower floor of the floating island with the help of the portal, but they accidentally triggered it. The agency, before they figured out what happened, was chased and killed by these three Yuanpans spewing flames all the way...

At present, the two are in a relatively wide mechanical corridor. The shiny alloy floor under their feet collides with the heels, making a series of clear and crisp sounds. A light-emitting panel is embedded in the walls on both sides at intervals. What is the principle of the thing? After such a long time, it is still working normally, providing sufficient lighting for the entire corridor.

There is no branching road in the corridor, it is designed to go all the way to the dark, so Riel dragged Sapphire all the way in, and Sapphire ran with a dazed face, turning her head from time to time to see the frantic pursuit behind her. The three discs seemed to be thinking about something secretly.

"...Don't use your extra brains." Riel guessed what Sapphire was thinking, and immediately answered, "These three gadgets are not particularly durable, but each one has a special transmitter , once it is destroyed, an alarm will be sent immediately, and the factory will be upgraded to a stage of invasion level. At this stage, it is only these three things that are chasing and killing us. If this is destroyed, it will not be these three things in the future.”

The safety level of the factory is divided into four colors: red, orange, yellow, and green. Except for the green "no abnormality", which means nothing is normal, every time a level is raised, corresponding protective measures will be activated. At this stage, the yellow alarm is for Riel and Sa Feili can barely handle it, but it will be troublesome once it is raised to an orange alert.

"Jump up!" Riel suddenly reminded Safiley, and then pulled her to leap for life. Safieli subconsciously jumped up with Riel. Then, the scenery in front of the two of them suddenly turned upside down, as if the gravity had reversed directly. The ceiling becomes the floor, and the floor becomes the ceiling.

Falling to the original ceiling, which is the current floor, Riel continued to lead Sapphire deeper, and within two steps, he suddenly yelled again.

"This time to the left!"

After all, the two leaned to the left at the same time, this time the gravity flipped again, and the wall on the left became a new floor...

"...What kind of mechanism is this?"

Sapphire also ran in a bit of a panic. This kind of mechanism itself has no lethality, but reversing the direction of gravity every few minutes is too much trouble. It is extremely unfriendly to people running, and it is easy to Be knocked out of cerebellar dysfunction.

"The abnormal gravity channel is currently only a gravity reversal, and the next step is the highlight..."

As soon as the words fell, Riel and Sapphire suddenly felt their shoulders sink, and they were about to be pulled to bend down to the ground...

"...Well, this time it's ten times the gravity. How are you, our princess?"

"...Superheavy God!"

Unbearable, there is no need to bear it anymore, Safili finally couldn't bear it anymore, closed her eyes and activated the overweight god costume, the black and white spheres formed a protective barrier, and finally got rid of this damned abnormal gravity.

"What's next?"

This time it was Safirie who was pulling Riel to run all the way, anyway, there was only one way, so there was no need to worry about going the wrong way, Riel quickly turned around in his head twice.

"Oh, if there is no accident, the next step should be the chaotic space..."

"what is that?"

"...you'll know it when you see it."

While speaking, the light in front of the two people's eyes gradually enlarged, and what they saw suddenly became clear. The two people who left from the mechanical corridor came to a strange world.

It's as if you are in a kaleidoscope, everything in front of you is filled with countless broken and repeated patterns, the whole space is so weird that you can't describe it in words, it used to be a straight line with no forks, but now there are at least four people in front of you. The branch roads with more than [-] digits, and they are changing all the time, the layout in this space will change every second, and Sapphire feels dazzled after just looking at it for a few seconds.

"what is this!"

"...Didn't I say that the disordered space distorts the boundaries of the entire space into a kaleidoscope-like appearance. In fact, there is actually only one road here, and it is nothing more than distorted by the disordered space into this appearance."

"So we just have to pick a random way in?"

Of course, if the problem can be solved so simply, wouldn't this organ be completely meaningless?

"No, of course it's impossible. Every path here is correct, but from another perspective, none of the paths here is correct..."

"Then what should we do?"

Without saying a word, Riel raised his head and took out the big bow and shook it away. This big bow usually looks like four bow arms folded. The ornament turned into a big bow, and Riel projected three rapiers on the bowstring and pulled it apart.

"The simple and correct way is to explore the laws of space changes, and find the moment when the kaleidoscope 'coincides' to enter it, but if you find it troublesome, there is an easier way!"

As long as the distorted space boundary is completely smashed, it can be restored to its original state. The three discs in the back are defense machines and cannot be touched. This thing is just a roadblock mechanism, and there is nothing that cannot be destroyed!

Ruier shot three arrows into the rotating light and shadow, and then activated the magic overload without hesitation...

"...break it for me!"

It is unrealistic to completely destroy the mechanism, but it is just to let him "stop" temporarily, the current impact is enough, a black hole shattered in the distorted space like a kaleidoscopic mirror, without Riel's signal, Sapphire has already understood it. Riel jumped inside.

Next, there was a burst of confusion and upside down, the two of them didn't know how long they had spent in this darkness, and finally, light appeared in their sight again.

This time, the two came to a laboratory...

…With the neatly organized research logs and all kinds of equipment that she has never seen before, Sapphire can be sure that this is a research laboratory similar to the Magic Academy.

Didn't you say this is a factory area?How could there be such a laboratory in the research area?

In this regard, Ruier responded quickly. He walked to the console in a few steps and started to operate it familiarly.

"Even a factory needs a 'control room', right? This is the control room, and it should also be the laboratory of someone in charge here, let's ignore these..."

After Ruier's operation, he successfully lifted the security in the factory area, and Safili was amazed at this...

"...How on earth do you know how these things work? Although I really want to ask that, but you will definitely use dreams to perfuse it for me, right?"

Regarding this, Riel coughed in embarrassment, "Maybe not this time, because maybe we can find some answers here..."

Yes, this underground factory area is very large. It is not a coincidence that the two of them passed through a mechanism and were transported to this control room by the factory...

If it's Fei, it can be explained by coincidence and good luck, but if it's Riel, of course in the original work it's because Riel is an artificial life born in Macka's blood, and it was implanted into it. Very advanced operating authority, so the factory read his authority and directly put him in the control room.

But that's clearly not the case here.

Riel rummaged in the laboratory. If the plot is still usable, then there must be something left here.

Sure enough, Riel found an old notebook on a laboratory table. Although it looks like a very ordinary notebook, it has not been killed by time after so many years. It can be seen that there are some differences. .

The notebook is clean, except for a messy name on the cover...

... The handwriting is quite beautiful, but Sapphire read out the name word by word.

"Well, the ancient text is a bit troublesome. This pronunciation...ma...g...ic...Machika...Machika Intermelu...Huh?!"

Originally, Sapphire was simply struggling with the translation of the ancient text, but when she subconsciously read the name, she turned around and realized what the name she read from her mouth represented.

"This notebook... Are you kidding me? Master Macka's research notebook?!"

For a moment, the first thing that Sapphire thought of was the legendary treasure "Book of Stars", but unfortunately, Riel quickly shattered her fantasy.

"It would be great if this was the Book of Stars. Unfortunately, this thing should be just a diary of Macka. Maybe it's not even an experiment log. Otherwise, it wouldn't be casually placed on the table."

The Book of Stars is Macka's magic note, and it is also a log of astrological observations, recording his life's painstaking efforts, which is why he has received the blessing of the concept and sublimated into the Book of Stars. However, the note in front of him should be just Macka It's just my essay, so I put it in a place within easy reach.

After all, this place is theoretically only accessible to Macka and people with sufficient authority, so there is no need to find a place to hide essays or anything.

Riel and Sapphire stretched out their hands at the same time, and opened the pages of the diary...

Then, a large area of ​​light and shadow spread out in front of them, and the messy and broken pictures were combined into a complete scene. Riel and Sapphire are no strangers to this change... It's just that I can't imagine that an essay can be so famous.

What is shown in the picture is the laboratory where the two of Riel are at the moment, but the decorations around are obviously different. In the picture, there is a man wearing a mage robe, whose face is covered by a cloud of blurred light and shadow. He was constantly changing and playing with something in his hands, but his attention was always focused on the row of light curtains projected in front of him.

"Still working? Really hard work, teacher~"

Suddenly, a female voice intervened in the scene. When the scene came out, Riel was a little confused, because although there was indeed such an essay in the plot, there were only bits and pieces written in the essay about Macka's super-evolved life. The relevant content of the body creation ceremony, but did not expect that the plot here is completely different from what I know.

But at the moment when this female voice appeared, Riel was even more confused, why did this voice sound familiar?

Then, a figure that should be a woman appeared in the picture. Her face was also covered by light and shadow, and she couldn't see clearly. However, since she called this man a teacher, her identity was quite intriguing.

The man turned his head slightly, and a voice that was also very familiar to Riel and Sapphire sounded.

"Well, it's not considered working, just sorting out the harvest of the past two days, @#$^...how is your situation?"

As soon as the man opened his mouth, Sapphire immediately cast her eyes on Riel, and the meaning was very clear...why the man in this picture...has the same voice as Riel!

And the man seemed to pronounce a certain name, but this part of the voice was distorted beyond recognition.

Riel coughed in embarrassment, indicating that if he continued to read, there might be an answer.

The two people in the picture continued their conversation, and the woman put down a stack of materials in her hand, "It's all here, take your time, Teacher Macka~"

"..."

Sure enough, it was a natural development. The identity of the man in the picture is indeed the owner of the essay... It's just that I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see or breathe Macka, and although this person's appearance was covered up, he couldn't see it clearly. But the voice is obviously the same as Riel, and what is even more ridiculous is that looking at the body shape now, it seems that even the body shape is similar to Riel.

……what's going on?

Okay, actually Riel also wants to know... what's going on!
