Pillars of Ita

Chapter 955 Chapter 280 Scene [-] The Ancient Recovery
"Luther, hasn't that guy from Irs on Prometheus showed up yet?" Tracy asked, wrapping her slender arms in clumsy magic gloves.

She raised her head, and the battlefield in her eyes was both chaotic and orderly. From time to time, rows of Black-armored Imperial troops passed by, with spears forming a forest, connecting with the front line where the earth elementals were attacking fiercely in the distance.From time to time, magical flashes of light rose up, reflected in the arcs of the eyes, like stars rising in the night sky.

Many people are afraid of death, destruction, chaos, and pain, but she is unafraid, as if she was born to face such a scene, she only inserted her hands into the back of her head, gathered her long brown hair, and tied it in a random way bundle.Then he shook his head, a ponytail swaying from side to side.

She simply puts on the alchemist's armor and walks forward.Luther followed behind, looking at the battlefield here pensively. He didn't come back to his senses until he heard her speak, and shook his head: "I heard that it hasn't appeared yet, but after all, I am not from Prometheus. They may There's nothing to hide."

Trixes thought for a moment, then changed the subject. "This time the elemental lord appeared extraordinarily early, Luther, have you experienced the previous trial, what do you think about it? What is the reason for the empire to fight against the rioting earth elemental underground once every few years? It takes time and effort. Why didn't it be in place at once, could it be said that the Oshu people are so fond of us, just to benefit us?"

Luther shook his head lightly, "Of course not, Tracys, 'Elemental Blessing' is important, but that's not the main intention of the empire. This 'plan' is the same, but we can't make the entire elemental layer of Xintaan collapse. , this is a strategy jointly determined by 'that gentleman' and His Majesty—”

"The plan formulated by the Imperial Workshop has deceived most people, including the Duke. And we are just a part of it. It is better to say that the participation of the Alliance makes us a part of it. The Osu people will not stop Wait for us."

Tracy curled her lips, "I thought the alliance had a lot of face."

"I heard that the alliance has another plan..." Luther replied.

He was going to say something more, but suddenly thought of something and subconsciously stopped.

Fortunately, Trixis didn't care, and interrupted him: "I'm not complaining, after all, if you end all this early, I will miss it."

"It's just... so much labor and effort, 23 such diverting valves, and most of them are located at element enrichment points. The Oshu people have shut down three important mining areas for this, which is also a traumatic situation for the empire. Forget it? I don’t know how many people’s interests are involved in this, those who benefit from it are okay, but those whose interests are harmed really don’t have any resentment at all?”

"I don't usually care about these things, but I often hear in the guild that the empire is calm on the surface right now, but it seems to be sitting on a powder keg. But the calmer the sea, the more disturbing it is, Seven Magisters The conflict between the family and the alchemists is intensifying, don't you worry about it at all?"

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at the other party with blue eyes.

Luther smiled, "Why not? This kind of conflict has been rooted since the beginning of the reform 30 years ago. The upper-level forces of the Oshu people are fighting secretly. I don't know how many families and names are in the life-and-death dispute. Do you still remember what happened 20 years ago? What happened in the Stag Principality is not widely spread outside Xintaan, but it is spread within the empire, especially among alchemists and wizards What about the story so far..."

"It's just that such struggles never came to the surface in the past, but in the past 20 years it has become more and more superficial, not only limited to the territory of the empire, but even affected the second world and the periphery of the empire. Do you remember the third division a few years ago? Internal strife, it's not just their reasons. Because the Colin people have noticed something..."

He paused.

These topics can also be regarded as a certain degree of confidentiality within Gray Field, if it is not in front of his sweetheart, it is absolutely impossible for him to say so much.But it's not just that, Tracy was born in the Sacramental Guild, some secrets are not secrets to her.

"...The changes brought about by that decision in the past have affected today, and the division within the empire has evolved to the point where we have to fight to the death. Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor would not have pushed forward this 'plan' so urgently. You know, It is precisely because of this that the 'Black Army' was established, and they have shown their edge for the first time in the northern border of the empire, as long as the Duke dies, there will be less opposition in the empire."

Cui Xisi held a different view on this, "Is it that easy? If the Seven Sorcerers were so easy to deal with, the lord would not delay doing it until today. Once the Duke dies, there may indeed be no leader for a while, but It may also cause them to completely tear their face apart, aren't you afraid of setting off another civil war. What's more, the Duke died so easily?"

"Empires always go from one war to another."

Luther answered this question with an Oshurian proverb, "The key is not war, but whether His Majesty the Emperor is ready. At least for now, he thinks he has full wings. As for us," he laughed, "Gray Field is no longer on the throne, now it's your turn to read this question."

Trix turned her head and looked at him strangely.

The two had originally walked across the battlefield side by side, but they also stopped at this moment, and a beam of magical light rose from the Oshur's position, reflecting the outline of her side face.

"That's what the teacher told me," Luther replied, "He said: 'The next era is that we need to stand side by side, regardless of the success of that ambitious plan, and Gray Field will take a back seat', Tracys, If you want to win the 'championship', I will help you."

"I don't need anyone's help," Tracy bit her lip, feeling a little disturbed.What does Ash King FOX mean by that?She more or less learned about the plans of the Oshurians from the guild, but that person was willing to make Gray Field a subordinate. That was not the character of the Gray King.

She didn't think it was because of her own charm.

The two fell silent.

They had already passed through rows of imperial soldiers, and the front line was not far away. From time to time, flying stones came rushing towards them with screams. Luther raised his hand, and a flame lit up from behind him, and the solid stone was thrown into the air. Smashed in mid-air.

The performance of the two caught the attention of other people around them. A group of drafters ran over from a distance, pleading with them in disgrace: "You guys came just in time, those damn bastards are attacking too fiercely. Which guild are you from? Can you help me?"

But most people stopped at this point, their eyes fell on the battle robes of the two, and then showed a look of respect and awe, "Sacramental Guild, people from Gray Field?" , "What's the matter with you?"

"It has nothing to do with you," Trixis looked at the earth element flying in the sky, feeling a little indifferent, "I will take care of those things, and you all go back to your own queue."

The other party was a little happy when he heard it, thanked him again and again, and turned to leave.

Tracy looked back at Luther, "Are you coming or am I?"

"Let's go together," Luther said, "I'm the main attacker, you can use the ability of the goblin to assist me. Although you have a light guide, let's save that thing for the most critical time."

……

A silver light flashed across the air.

Fang Plover raised his hand, and carefully let the clockwork fairy fall into his palm.

The clockwork goblin's wings were injured a bit, and it was almost caught by the artisans of the Imperials.Fortunately, there are countless mechanical gadgets criss-crossing each other on the battlefield now, and the opponent didn't have time to see the special shape of his clockwork goblin for a while.

Under such a big scene, there must be a master craftsman on the side of the empire, and he is still a leader among his peers, but he is still not good enough in front of a real master.The gap in experience is like a natural moat, and it is absolutely impossible to rely on talent and zero-type crystals to make up for it in a short period of time.

But they are not without their own advantages. After all, the battle craftsmen of the empire are still focusing on the front line of the battle with the earth elements. They never imagined that someone would sneak into this place secretly, let alone a battle craftsman among their opponents.

Fang Yan ordered his eyeliner to carefully avoid the detection fan of the imperials, and found out the main distribution areas of the other party's clockwork goblins one by one, so that the Seven Seas Brigade could hide behind the left flank of the imperials. It is difficult for the earth elemental or the imperial people to find that they are hiding here.

But the only question is, do you want to continue the adventure?

Half of the week's vacation has passed, and they left today. This time, it may be difficult to find an opportunity to return again, and the next time may have to wait until the end of the Continental League.It's not that he can't wait, but the heavy rewards from Elite, Godslayer and Silver Wislan will be gone.

Thinking of this, Fang Plover seemed to be scratching his heart with claws, that was a huge sum of money, shining gold coins!How can he let it go?

Fang Plover gently gathered the hinged fairy feathers of the clockwork fairy, and put it into his arms. There was another thing on his mind—"'Elemental Blessing'?" Call it a 'trial'. What is the plan of the Oshu people? What is the 'plan'? Does the 'black army' refer to the imperial knights in black armor?
And what are those tall iron pillars inserted into the ground?
He just saw Trixes over the battlefield, she was one of the few people he 'knows' in the empire, he didn't expect to see her here, he immediately lowered his silver bee, he didn't expect that she and Luther I listened to the conversation.

It's a pity that the battlefield is too noisy, and with Silver Bee's ability to collect information, he can only capture some key words, such as 'plan', 'black army' and 'His Majesty the Emperor'. Tracy and another person seem to be discussing who Your Excellency the Duke.

He planned to continue listening, but at that time a clockwork goblin belonging to the empire passed by above his silver bee. In order not to be discovered by the other party, he urgently made his clockwork goblin dodge, and almost crashed into the ground. on a nearby rock wall.

To be able to take it back in its entirety is already considered a great skill of his.

"Alisa, Sylveld, Jita, have you heard of 'Elemental Blessing'?" Fang Plover turned around and asked several staff members in the regiment, Miss Nightingale was well informed, Ms. The lady is well-informed and knowledgeable, plus Luo Yu, they are the think tanks of the regiment.

But Luo Yu was on the other side monitoring the movement of the earth element at the moment, so he had to turn to the other three for help.

But the three of them were all startled, then shook their heads, expressing that they knew nothing about it.Sylvaide pondered for a moment, but said: "Master Captain, do you still remember the dark blessing that the three major lizard races jointly gave you and Tenerek, maybe it is something of the same kind?"

Fang Plover was thoughtful.

But at this time, the lady scholar who was obviously out of her mind raised her head, looked at them with some worry, and said, "Brother Ed, I don't know about 'elemental blessing'. But you'd better take a look at this, I Feeling uneasy."

"what happened?"

Miss Scholar opened her magic book, and the core crystal embedded in the pages of the book was shining brightly. That was a scene Fang Plover had never seen before.

At the same time, in the imperial army, the mysterious mage stood up again from his position. He lifted his robe and took out a silver-gray, ownerless magic book from underneath. Guide book, he also opened the guide book.

The core crystal in the magic book is exuding a dazzling brilliance.

The wizard looked at this scene in disbelief, then raised his head.

A chilling ripple rippled through the invisible space, just like the first ripple raised above the sea of ​​Etalia, the dark side of the world, ripples on the sea of ​​ether, and the storm of magic power is gathering.

Not everyone can keenly feel the changes in the elemental layer.

But those who felt it stopped in unison.

Those astrologers, mages, and even the battle craftsmen and magic swordsmen on the front line all stopped their movements, as if they were still experiencing the throbbing in their hearts.

Cui Xisi suddenly let out a slight sigh. She had assisted Luther in smashing an earth element, and was about to go to the next battlefield. This is her stage. world.

It might just be a game, but she also has to be the one to win.

But the sudden spiritual impact made her stop, and she looked into the darkness and depths with some surprise. There seemed to be something lurking there—the power from under the elemental layer was being conceived, as if the depths of darkness were opening. one eye.

"Luther?" Tracy asked subconsciously.

"Well," the boy nodded, "I feel it too."

……

"This is……"

Fang Plover looked at the magic book in Jita's hand.

And Miss Scholar's tone seemed anxious, even with a hint of crying, "...Brother Ed, I don't know too well, just now when I exhausted my magic power and tried to draw power from the sea of ​​ether here... ..."

"...The elemental layer below the sea of ​​ether seems to be not calm... It seems, it seems that something is waking up..."

She said tremblingly: "I, we have to leave this place quickly...Brother Ed."

Fang Plover was about to speak, but suddenly there was an identical throbbing in his heart.

That feeling is like a sudden electric shock, like a needle pricking your heart lightly, causing the blood to flow backwards, the atrium curled up into a ball, and even breathing stopped for a moment, countless pictures came from like lightning and thunder. flashed in the mind.

Ancient, mysterious, thick, angry thoughts.

Just like the beginning of time, at the beginning of chaos and the beginning, countless emotions finally turned into a burst of thunder, drawing a flash of lightning in the darkness, separating the sky and the earth, and the rising turned into the sea of ​​ether, and the falling into elemental substances.

The two worlds then mirror each other.

In that ancient era, the first life was born.

They are the starting point for the elements of Atalia.

"Ok?"

"what?"

"Well……?"

Three voices sounded in Fang Plover's heart in no particular order, namely Dragon Queen Alyssa, Miss Tata and Fang Nini.

Fang Nini was just puzzled, Miss Tata just felt a little bit of doubt from the changes in the sea of ​​elements and ether, but only the majestic voice of Dragon Queen Alyssa sounded first, "Leave this place immediately, little bug. "

"small bug?"

"Stop talking nonsense," Alyssa said with a rare hint of anxiety in her voice, "an existence on the same level as me has awakened."

"That is……"

What else did she want to say.

But Fang Yan had already answered for her, "Elemental tyrant." Not only was he not afraid, but there was a trace of excitement in his heart, "It is said in the literature that they are the starting point of the birth of Atalia, the creator and ruler of the elemental world , one of the oldest life forms in the world."

As if in response to his answer.

The entire underground world fell silent at this moment. The voices on the battlefield, the howling earth elements, elemental creatures, huge puppets, and the two elemental lords who were fighting, everything fell into a strange silence.

Then the stone flakes on the ground made a small sound, crackling, and they floated up from the ground, as if an invisible hand supported them, causing them to rise into the air.

Everyone watched this weird scene.

Even the earth elementals.

The next moment, a roaring sound echoed from another world.

Then a giant rock claw tore apart the space, and revealed the real side of the world from then on—the gray sea of ​​light behind it, the floating stars, reflected in the universe like thousands of stars.

The behemoth is squeezed out of that gap, and people seem to see its entity, but it seems that they can't see anything, only a pair of eyes shining with anger, behind the door, watching everything in the material world.

The gap in the space also made a creaking and overwhelmed sound. The claws firmly fixed it, making it impossible to close it, and expanded it little by little. One, two, and more claws fell on the door. , and tear it apart on both sides.

The behemoth behind that finally came into people's field of vision.

Everyone looked up at the scene like a puppet, including the mysterious wizard, Trixes and Luther.The girl opened her mouth wide. During the trials over the years, she had never told them that such an incident had happened.

That is the god of the elements, just two giant claws, almost occupying most of the space of this underground rock lake.

The huge shadow looms high and is suffocating.

"Oio'kak Maeon Aazkkz."

An ancient saying came to mind.

"The Lord of Light is here..." At the same time, the voices of the imperial people praying came from the battlefield, the voices were trembling and full of despair.

And only Fang Plover was able to maintain his composure.

He was watching the creatures of the ancient era, and some thoughts were turning in his heart.

...Those are just speculations. No one in Atalia has ever seen the existence of an elemental monarch.

The origin of the elements, from many epochs ago, the Black Throne, the Serpent People of Synthas, and the oldest texts of the Numelin Elves are only recorded in words and phrases.

But it turns out that the legend really exists.

Fang Yan took a light breath, the first thing he thought of was not the threat of death, but that his thesis finally had something to hand over.

More important than this.

A flash of lightning flashed in his heart, and he suddenly understood what the imperial people were doing.

'They are the oldest kings in this world, ruling all things... come from the world of elements, and hold the balance of the seven floating continents. '

Fang Plover turned his head and looked at the others.

"Wait, aren't you afraid?"

Happy, Shui Wuming looked at his expression and couldn't help asking.

At the same time, there was a third voice asking the same question, but the first two voices came from the material world, while the other voice came from his mind.

After saying this, Alyssa immediately kept silent.

She couldn't believe that she asked such a stupid question together with two mortals. If she could, she would turn this underground world into ashes, so that everything that happened here would be wiped out.

If she is still in her prime, she is capable of all this, and not even an elemental monarch can stop her.But not now, it is very difficult for her to display her might again like she did in the northern border.

"Of course I'm afraid," Fang Plover looked at the others, "but it's useless to be afraid right now, it's just that our underground adventure has come to an end, everyone."

He is certainly not a fool.

If people die for money, they have to get the money.

The others also nodded.

Everyone naturally still has a clear priority.
