Pillars of Ita

This sudden task not only shocked Fang Pliong, but also made him suddenly have a strong interest. Although people like them who pass through the Star Gate generally call themselves Chosen, among the indigenous people, they are Holy Chosen Ones.

The Holy Selection here is actually the Star Gate Selection. The will of the Star Gate selects those people who are suitable for the elemental power of this world and gives them the qualifications to travel through a world and come to this world above the sea of ​​clouds illuminated by stars.

During this process, they obtained the special ability granted by the Star Gate - that is, the ability to understand the nature of the Starlight - and digitize the world. Through this ability, the chosen ones can be in a short time. Grow up to be the best in every field in this world.

The source of this ability is actually two systems.

Stargate system, and Dragon Knight system.

After research by scholars, it was discovered that the two systems are essentially of the same origin, but have different origins. In essence, the common source of power behind them comes from the will of the omnipresent Star Gate.

Therefore, all abilities obtained from the system, including the tasks obtained by the selectors after coming from the world of Star Gate, are actually issued by Star Gate. They are selected by Star Gate to serve that great will. And fight.

This is the origin of the Holy Chosen One.

Then the missions conveyed by the Star Gate must have meaning, and the strict division of mission levels is often recognized.

For the lowest-level tasks, Stargate often uses the hands of the indigenous people to train the novices of the selectors and let them grow up quickly to participate in the tasks of a region or even a region.

And these tasks are often related.

When the connection between them rises to a stage and begins to affect the direction of the world, world events occur.

But above that, there is actually another level, and that is the ‘Battle of the Holy Chosen’. Regarding the battle of the Holy Chosen, there are many rumors in history, but they often point in one direction, and that is enough to change the entire history of Aitaria.

This is the only time a mission of this level has ever arrived, which also proves this point.

The ‘Battle of Holy Chosen’ is certainly not a task that can be completed by one person or a certain team. Every time it is born, it often involves countless selectors and even countless top guilds.

The fate of the entire Aitalia is linked to it.

Therefore, Fang Yu was naturally curious about such a mission title, but he did not reveal too much at the time. He only looked a little surprised. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and returned to the Seven Seas Traveler.

As soon as he returned to the ship, he immediately called everyone together and without saying much, directly distributed the tasks at hand to everyone. Sylvide, Baggins and other aborigines were fine, but others were immediately taken aback.

Even Mei Yi, who was always calm as she looked at the light screen in front of her, couldn't help but blink her eyes slightly, with a hint of surprise in her beautiful light purple eyes.

The Papalar man even jumped up from his seat: "Are you kidding me!?"

Luo Hao, Dalil and Jita also looked at the light curtain in front of them, and looked at it several times. Miss Nightingale's eyes were filled with confusion, as if she had seen something incredible.

Cui Xisi stood up in a hurry and opened her mouth when she saw her mission prompt. She looked at Fang Plover again, but she couldn't say a word for a moment.

Only the box looked indifferent. At most, he glanced at the mission description a few times. Fang Pliance looked in that direction and suddenly remembered that this guy might not have heard of what the 'Battle of the Holy Chosen' was.

According to Gu Baizhiye, his attention to things other than his own interests is almost zero.

Other than that, there were only a few unsystematic people such as Adni and Siesta, who probably didn't know what was going on. But Miss Caster also noticed something unusual from the expressions on other people’s faces:

"What happened?" she asked, "What's wrong with this mission?"

The task Odessa gave them was related to the Pirate King's treasure trove, and that was related to the whereabouts of her father's last manuscript, so she was naturally more concerned about it.

"It's not easy for me to explain to you, Ms. Adoni," said Fang Plover. He actually hadn't come out of the shock just now. "You should know our identities. This mission is a bit weird for people like us. …”

"About the Chosen One?"

Fang Yu nodded and explained the reason to the other party in detail.

And if they hadn't known that their captain didn't like to joke about this kind of thing, the others would have almost thought it was a prank. Even so, Tianlan couldn't help but shout after hearing this: "So all this is true? The mission reward has been increased by 2 levels. Brother Ed, am I right?"

This time it was Fang Yu's turn to be surprised: "You mean level 2?"

"Yes," Miss Poet nodded, "Level 2."

Fang Yu hurriedly asked around and found out that not only Tianlan's reward was to be promoted to level 2, but also the three of Ian, Miss Magician and Lark.

Speaking of which, the reason why the three of them are here is because the mission requires the Seven Seas Brigade to collect survivors from the island, and this naturally requires a guide who is familiar with the situation.

Many of the aborigines were still in awe of them, and were not very familiar with things like sailboats. In this case, Fang Plover simply asked Odessa to let Ian and others join this mission.

After all, they are more familiar with the latter and know more about it.

The goddess naturally agreed.

However, although the mission rewards for Marigold and Lark are the same as Tianlan, Ian on the side is only at level 1. Fang Yu understood it after thinking about it for a while. It seems that the rewards for this mission are based on level 20, and after level 20 The reward is only level 1, while before level 20 it is level 2.

"Okay! Then didn't I make a profit?" Tian Lan was surprised and happy after hearing this. She is already at level 19 and is close to level 20. As long as this mission is successfully completed, won't she finally step into the ranks of high-level adventurers?

Fang Plover couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard this. Probably among all the selectors in Aitaria, this one was the only one who relied on luck to level up.

"The one who earns the most is not necessarily you, Tianlan," Alyssa couldn't help but smile, breaking her sweet dream, "it's the group leaders, Miss Mei and Darier, right? The higher the level, the more experience you have gained. The more difficult it is to improve, and the battles that can bring experience to our level are often full of unpredictable risks. The gold content of our level 1 and the level 1 of the group leader are far different."

"Ah?" Tianlan was discouraged. Then the gap between her and the others was not narrowing, but was getting wider.

But that's how she could ignore this reward.

Cui Xisi on the side was already extremely surprised: "I have never heard of such a level of rewards, and it is impossible for world events to have such outrageous rewards. And what level of mission is the 'Battle of the Holy Chosen'?"

Fang Yu looked at the other party in surprise, "You haven't heard of it?"

"Should I have heard of it?"

"I just thought..." Fang Yu looked at the others. He originally thought that as a future core member of a top guild, even in the first world, he should at least know something about it.

But he looked at the others and found that except for himself and Alyssa, most people seemed to have never heard of this.

But Luo Hao said: "This is actually nothing surprising. The last time such a mission appeared was almost half a century ago. It was the opening mission of the second world. Only those who are called 'pioneers' Only the first and second generation of electors have experienced that history.”

"Later, people thought it was a large-scale world mission, and the breadth of its participation also supported this. The term 'Battle of the Holy Chosen' only became popular for a while, and it soon became similar to some other professional missions in history. Like a noun, it has become part of the pile of old stories.”

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of such rumors, but how did he know this term?

He thought for a moment, and suddenly a name flashed into his mind.

R.

Yes, a lot of his knowledge about the second world and world missions came from his mysterious teacher. Unfortunately, after leaving the Baozhang Coast, he seemed to have never received any news from there.

Only then did Cui Xisi realize what the two of them were talking about: "But isn't that a world mission?"

"No, the prefix of world quest is world event, but usually it is not a quest or a certain quest line," Fang Pliong shook his head. He remembered what R told him, or rather it was different from many people -

That was his only understanding of world tasks: "Those tasks are a collection of many branch events, large and small. When everyone, at a certain time and area, complete those tasks together, or achieve a certain purpose of the star gate, , or promote the process of history, can it be called a 'world-class' event change."

"And this is where world events come from."

Luo Hao also knew these things very well, but the knowledge that this fat man from the military knew was more of the secrets he found out from unknown nooks and crannies in the community, which were full of unspeakable gossip:

"In fact, what the leader and the others experienced in Fenris, as well as the Dragon Witch incident, and the illusion of Dolifen that the leader described himself, including the Battle of the North that we all experienced, can all be called It’s such a world event, but it’s called differently in different regions, and some people call it a world mission.”

Dariel listened silently, while Miss Catman put the sword in her hand on the ground and pressed her claws on the hilt.

The closest one to her was actually the Battle of the North. She had actually heard about that battle before, but hearing it from someone who had witnessed it at such a close distance was a different feeling.

She couldn't help but have an idea in her mind. If she had come to the ship earlier, she might have had time to experience such a battle. But luckily, they made a big fuss in Ayinbrok, and it was finally classified as a world incident by the system.

But with such a level of battle, this team has experienced so many before?

Miss Catman couldn't help but shake her ears, and suddenly came up with the idea that maybe if she stayed on this ship, she could witness more interesting things in the future. But she was immediately slightly surprised——

I just temporarily received the order from the Holy Maiden to stay on the ship. Why did I suddenly think of staying on for a long time?

The girl named Muppet groaned for a moment, and finally shook her head.

But when she was shaking her ears, the wolf girl on the side noticed the movement here and looked over briefly. Dalil was keenly aware of this line of sight and looked in that direction, meeting the other person's gaze unwilling to be outdone.

Although both of them were born from humans, they were more or less influenced by their racial habits and had the innate dislike of cats and canines.

"Wait," on the other side, after hearing Luo Hao's words, it was Cui Xisi's turn to be surprised again, "Have you experienced so many world missions?"

"A lot?"

the Papalar asked rhetorically.

"This is actually one less time," Tian Lan said proudly, "Ai Yin Block's time was the same."

Cui Xisi looked at these people and couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.

The goblin craftswoman fell silent and looked at everyone in the room, her eyes flickering, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

In the silence of everyone, Miya suddenly spoke: "You actually said one thing wrong. This level of mission did not appear more than once."

The wolf girl was looking away from Dariel, her silver eyes flashing with the light of memories, and she said quietly: "That was the battle of the Holy Chosen One, which is also the reason why it got its name. It was chosen by the Star Gate, and Determine the route forward for the chosen ones——"

"Before you came to this world, a mission of the same level was opened in the second world. That mission line first appeared in the Turbid Domain, the Sky Island Chain, seven years ago -"

At this point in time, it was like a weak electric current hitting Fang Plover's heart, making his heart tighten slightly.

He also felt that the stewardess next to him was breathing faster, and he couldn't help but turn around, just in time to see the indescribable light flashing in the eyes of the noble daughter. As the other party was always smart, he naturally thought of that possibility.

It’s as if everything has returned to the very beginning——

The sunny courtyard, the broad but majestic voice, a strange lady standing in front of the man, and finally he chose to turn around and leave. From then on, I never came back.

After losing her mother, she lost her father. Although the lady gave her all the love, she lost everything again in the five years of loneliness and finally in a fire.

She picked up the suitcase with the family motto engraved on it and embarked on the road to escape. Along the way, she met many people, experienced conspiracies and tricks, and received help from many people. In the end, she inadvertently obtained the information……

"you……"

Sylvide raised her head, not even caring about the identity of the other person, and just looked at the other person with light blue eyes like lake water, as if she wanted to see something in the eyes of the wolf-like girl:

"What happened in the Turbid Realm seven years ago..."

Miya nodded. She disdained to deceive her opponent on such a matter: "Your father left precisely because of this. He led the fleet to the second world for this mission. That mission was not just for that... His Majesty the King gave him, and he also shouldered the expectations of the entire Kaolin-Ithurian——"

"I have seen him before, in the second world," Miya said, "but at that time I was far from famous, and I only met the great explorer once from a distance. I never heard anything about him again until ——”

Until I saw the ghostly Queen Bayard again in the Libra Islands.

The ship's officer was silent.

Fang Yucai said: "So Sir Ma Wei's disappearance is related to that mission?"

"Yes, but it's more than that." Miya said.

A flash of lightning flashed in Fang Yu's mind.

He suddenly remembered something. It had been nearly three years since he came to this world, and before that, before he arrived in Aitalia, something happened in the history of super sports five years ago that changed the history and relationship of the entire third division. A matter of style.

And that time was just right.

That was the Covenant Mountain incident that shocked the entire Third Division.

Fang Yu looked at the wolf girl in front of him with a shocked look.

Miya seemed to see what he was thinking, and nodded slightly: "As you think, the Covenant Mountain incident is just an unveiling, but it is indeed related to that task line. All of us have received it. Such a mission.”

"And that is the reason why many large guilds have returned from the second world -"

As she spoke, she showed the task to everyone:

‘[Battle of the Holy Chosen] Gate Mission—The Place where Twelve Stars Shine Together’

‘Follow the guidance of the stars and find the true whereabouts of the Hailin Crown and the other three holy objects’

She hid the status of the mission and the remaining half of the mission description. After all, not only the people from the Seven Seas Brigade were here, but Ian and the other three were also here.

Even though the levels the three of them had access to were limited and they probably didn't know what this mission meant, she still had to take precautions.

When Fang Yu saw this mission, she suddenly understood why Miya showed such an expression in the temple before. This was because all this was not a surprise to her. She had already seen similar things before. Task.

But compared to that, Fang Pultru actually thought of more. He looked at the Hailin Crown on the mission prompt, and suddenly seemed to understand something - the wind blowing through the forest, the silver moonlight.

A wolf-like girl standing under the moonlight.

And is all that really just a coincidence?

There was a moment of silence in the conference room, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"So that's..." Fang Yu actually already had a guess in his mind, but only at this moment did he get the definite answer.

Miya's silver eyes looked quiet and peaceful. After a while, she spoke: "This is the task of opening the second door."

In fact, by this time, all this is no longer a secret. After all, people have long known that a group of top guilds dispatched a large number of manpower to return from the second world, essentially just to find the seven obelisks and the four holy objects.

And all that ultimately points to the steps of that day, the road leading to the second door, which is what Sir Ma Wei has been looking for - the key to the door of the next world.

But when this answer turned into reality, Fang Yu still felt a little dazed. Since the July War, everything related to it seemed to dominate the fate of everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade and was inextricably linked to them. .

And all of that actually just started from that Hailin Crown.

Among the crowd, only Trixis and Daryl felt a little alienated from the past of this team, but Miss Catman had already understood everything from the instructions of the Holy Tree. Is it not for this reason that they welcomed the Holy Maiden back?

Cui Xisi suddenly thought of what the empire was doing, as well as the elemental blessings on her body, and all the preparations——

She couldn't help but look up at the woman standing in front of her, wondering who she was?

Only Sylvide kept looking at the floor in front of her without saying a word. The ship officer lady rarely showed such a look, which made Siesta look at the woman in front of her with some annoyance.

If it weren't for the other party...

Fang Yu silently glanced at his ship officer, but did not say anything. Of course he understood the reason why Sylvester embarked on this journey. At this moment, all words were superfluous. The only way to help find the Sir, only then can he fulfill his promise.

He reached out and held the other person's hand. Sylvester quickly collected her emotions, raised her head, and smiled at him, but there was some affection in her eyes.

The wolf girl moved her gaze to the side, deliberately not looking at the scene.

Only then did Fang Plover feel relieved.

The meaning of the title of that mission is now clearly visible under the blacked-out name. After all, the same mission came to the Star Gate about half a century ago, and now it is just a reenactment of it.

History has long been recorded, and people can naturally still look up that name:

‘[Battle of the Holy Chosen] Door Mission—The Long-Lost Cyan Glory’

Alyssa found records from the community many years ago. The mission was issued by the Star Gate, and the ongoing Chosen Campaign should naturally follow this format.

Fang Yu looked at the mission title that had been blacked out as '[Battle of the Holy Chosen] ■■■■——■■, ■■■■'. Maybe he couldn't get the answer for the moment, but he believed that they would be able to see that soon. The moment when everything is revealed.

Dalil then put down his claws from the hilt of the sword, looked at everyone and said: "But what do you think of this mission? Don't you think it is a bit strange? Compared with the level and rewards of the mission itself, is this mission? Is it a little too simple?"

And, isn’t this all a bit too much of a coincidence?

This is not the second world, but the first world. Why is there such a quest line hidden on this storm-surrounded island?

But Miss Poet doesn't see it that way: "Perhaps it is just the first step in this quest line? As an introduction to the subsequent series of events, the goddess hopes that we will intervene?"

"We don't rule out the possibility," Dalil didn't refute, just stretched his waist and said, "But this means that we will face risks in the future. Don't just look at the benefits of the mission. What will happen later?" Maybe it’s not that simple.”

Luo Hao had an idea about this.

He looked at the others and said, "Do you still remember the blessing we received when we entered the valley? Permanent divine grace is rare. Is the goddess a little too generous?"

Everyone naturally remembered it, but only Ian, Marigold and Lark seemed a little surprised. The female wizard couldn't help but ask: "Wait, what kind of permanent blessing?"

When others asked, they learned that the three of them did not gain experience improvements from the blessing, only temporary gains in attributes. Fang Piao and the others couldn't help but look at each other. Except for Lark, Marigold and Ian, everyone else in the valley must have done the same.

Permanent divine grace is very rare in Aitaria, and the gods of Orin will only give it to a few of their chosen ones. Even the dark blessing that Fang Plover himself once received was dissipated because of the extinguishing of the sea of ​​light.

But whether it was such a generous blessing or the shocking generosity of the mission rewards, it seemed too abnormal.

"So why does that goddess favor us so much?" Luo Hao asked.

"But there is nothing wrong with the mission itself." Miss Nightingale had already checked it. "The mission is under the Stargate system."

The Papalar asked: "So has anything similar happened in history?"

"No," Alyssa shook her head resolutely, "Whether it is the system that Star Gate provides to the selectors or the Dragon Knight system, there has never been any problem. No one can play tricks on it."

Fang Plover himself had actually checked it more than once.

However, he has never been the kind of person who is paranoid about issues that cannot be discussed without results. Moreover, they cannot ignore the rewards of this task. They should not be able to give up the benefits of being promoted to a level for no reason.

What's more, it is also related to William's treasure house later.

He thought for a moment and then came to the conclusion: "No matter what, let's take one step at a time."

Dalil and the others listened and did not object. Since the battle with Ai Yin Block, Fang Plover's prestige in this team has reached an unparalleled level. Even the Papalar people have to admit this.

In fact, Miss Catman herself doesn't think that the reward is unattractive to her. The reason why she mentions it is just because of her profession. Of course, the knight who looks after the Shadow of the Holy Tree is always alert.

After everyone reached an agreement, they began to prepare for the next work.

The three Marigolds on the side have actually not recovered from the previous shock, although judging from the discussion among the people in the Seven Seas Brigade, this does not seem to be a big deal. But a mission line related to the Holy Chosen Campaign fell on their heads, which still made them feel dizzy for a while.

Even the lark, who has always been relatively calm, seemed silent. Even if you take a step back and say that this is just the beginning of a huge battle mission, at least they are also experiencing a regional event labeled as a 'world' level. .

This is not an experience that every chosen one will have the opportunity to witness.

Marigold had an expression of surprise and surprise on her face. Even if she didn't talk about the subsequent delusions, just rising two levels was a good thing that was hard to come by even if it were pie in the sky.

The mage lady couldn't help but feel happy. If they had not gone to that port earlier, they would not have been chased by the Silver Moon Naga clan, nor would they have encountered Fang Plov and his party later.

At the time, it was hard to tell whether this was good luck or bad luck, but looking back now, it was like winning the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket. "Mr. Ed,"

Ian was a little shocked, "Originally, we should not be qualified to participate in such an event. Thank you for inviting us..."

"It's nothing," Fang Pulou actually didn't understand the other party's politeness. Most people don't have a clear understanding of what world events mean, but they know very well what is contained in opportunities, and the long task line is also It means huge risks.

He said: "But now it seems that our invitation to you may not be a good thing for you. You can actually have the freedom to choose. Such tasks often also mean risks. If we encounter scenes that are difficult for even us to deal with, We may not be able to protect you."

Ian was silent for a moment, and he looked back at his two companions. Miss Sorcerer had not yet reacted to that blind optimism, but the lark had already realized something.

But she didn't say anything. The improvement in level also meant that she could take a further step in the journey of craftsmanship. No matter what, she would not give up. What's more, no chosen one would shrink from such a choice. In the worst case, they would just lose everything and return to the other side of the star gate.

Fang Yu looked at each other's eyes and nodded, roughly understanding the three people's choices.
