Pillars of Ita

Chapter 961 Chapter 290 Act Two An Ancient Story
Fang Plover grabbed the former by the collar and pulled him back, "Look clearly, it's not a ghost!"

"Why not, huh?" In fact, Xiaoyao is not so afraid of ghosts in a fantasy world. He has also seen priests' exorcism rituals in Gula Port, where Silver Wislan resides.

That's not one of those trick-or-treating tricks on Earth.The crowd was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and Mireila's priests were wearing dark blue holy robes—those were actually judges, and the priest held a silver holy talisman and pressed it on the chest of the bewitched, as green as Luotie. The smoke was rising, and the next moment, the evil spirit actually appeared from under the skin. The man's veins burst out, and he screamed sharply.

Isn't that scene a thousand times more terrifying than the present one?
It's just that it's gloomy and quiet here, and everything is quiet. When people are in this place, they feel the same, and it's inevitable that they will shudder, and they can't hold it back for a while.

But looking carefully, it turned out that the girl was not a ghost just as Fang Yan said.

She just stood there, with a diamond-shaped hexahedron floating above her head, casting a beam of faint blue light downwards. The girl was located in the light, her body was almost translucent, and she looked like a ghost.

"Projector?" Xiaoyao asked embarrassingly, "Is she not here?" He asked the big guy.

The iron statue was silent.

"I'm sorry," the girl said apologetically, "I don't want to meet you in this form, but I really can't show my real body. I've been here for too long, and I almost forgot about the outside world." The situation, and the way of dealing with people... Are you from the ground?"

Fang Plover nodded.He looked at the other party, and couldn't see the color of the other party's hair or pupil color in the glowing blue light. The other party might be an imperial man, but at least he came from a place he was not familiar with, and was slightly different from the imperial men he had seen. difference.

"you are?"

"My name is Aona, Aona-Lesvina, Pepe should have told you my name. I moved into this underground with others a long time ago, the blue sky in my memory, the forest in the forest. The birds, and the trees that turn golden in autumn, the gurgling river, and the silver fish in the water, are long gone. We have always lived here, and we have not given a name to every plant and tree here, the Hall of Giants, The gray field, some names also come from the outside world."

A flash of excitement flashed in Fang Yan's heart, and the girl's words revealed a lot of information, "she and others"—that is to say, the other party may even be the first generation to move into this underground world.She has the memory of the world on the ground, which also confirms this from the side.

He tried his best to calm himself down, because it was an enemy or a friend, and the other party hadn't expressed his attitude yet.Fang Yan listened silently, without interrupting, just waiting for the girl to continue talking about her visit.

As if she hadn't dealt with anyone for a long time, Aona seemed a little talkative, "I'm sorry, I would like to invite you all here, firstly, because I was a little curious, and saw you entering that temple; secondly, no one came here for a long time Coming down here, I don't want to give up this opportunity, and I want to ask you all how the outside world has changed over the years?"

This sentence seems to confirm that the other party has experienced a long time in this underground.Even Luo Hao whispered to each other, murmured something to Luo Yu who was beside him, and looked at the girl in front of him suspiciously.

But can any mortal really live such a long time?Fang Plover suddenly thought of the other party's sentence 'It's not convenient to show your real body', and then looked at the projector in front of him, feeling it for a while.

But that idea shocked him greatly. Could it be that the alchemists of the sixth technology route can actually preserve the soul or mind with technology?Either of these two is a bit too shocking.

As I said before, even today the exploration of the soul by magic skills is only limited to a superficial field.

Of course, there are exceptions like Miss Tata, but he still doesn't know exactly what changes the scholars of the Silver Tower have made to the fairy dragon soul, and Miss Tata can't remember her own origin.

But of course it was impossible for him to confide the shock in his heart, suppressed his curiosity, and asked, "Why us? The imperial people have been active here for many years, right?"

"Those people above are liars, descendants of bad breeds, and Pepe can't trust them." Before Aona could answer, the kobolds chattered first.

Aona frowned when she heard this, looked at the big man beside her and said, "Mr. Ota, I told you not to teach Pepe this, it has nothing to do with people or things in the past. Besides... also, also scolded It's too ugly."

The iron statue moved slightly, and the orange light above its head flickered.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoyao couldn't help but quietly poked Shui Wuming beside him with his hand, both of them were shocked.

Only then did Aona turn around and face the others, "As you can see, Ota can't trust the imperials, and I can't trust them either. Of course, Mr. Alphonse also can't trust them. They have deceived us once, I don't believe it Any words that come out of their mouths, but I can see that you are not with them, and you seem to have some problems with the imperial people, as outsiders, I want to hear your views on the outside world."

"Wait, Alphonse...means?" Fang Ploy finally noticed the name in the other party's mouth.

"It's the elemental monarch, you should have seen it outside, if it weren't for it to protect us here, we would not be able to stop here and build a city."

Fang Yan was shocked. It turned out that those alchemists had reached an agreement with an elemental tyrant, so what happened in that era?How could that elemental tyrant hate the Imperials so much?

"Ms. Aona has enmity with the empire?"

"Let's make a deal," the girl smiled, "You tell me what happened in the outside world, and I'll tell you the story."

Fang Plover pondered for a moment, feeling that there was nothing wrong with it, and he looked at the others, who also silently nodded to him. "Okay then," Fang Yan replied, "Ms. Aoona, what do you want to hear?"

"Don't worry, this..."

"My name is Ed."

"Mr. Ed," Aona blinked and looked at him curiously, "Your name is also Ed, are you the Ed of the great alchemist?"

coming.

Fang Plover scratched his head, so embarrassed that he wanted to dig out two rooms and one living room with his feet on the ground.Especially considering that the girl might come from that long time ago, there might be students of the great alchemist Ed among the people she came into contact with.

People like Hein Fam.

Fortunately, the girl didn't get to the bottom of it, but just gave him an interesting look, "But those who can remember the sages probably have a good heart, Mr. Ed, can you tell me the story of the Horns family?"

Horns family?
"The Horns family, that is the Elkins Dynasty," Fang Plover was still searching for memories, while Jita reminded in a low voice, "That is the family that established the Northern Empire. It changed its name several times before it got its current name. Brother Ed."

"Oh, so that person's descendants really established a new empire later, it's called the Northern Empire, isn't it?" Aona asked softly as she looked at several people.

Fang Plover nodded.

"If Ms. Aona wants to ask about the Northern Empire, yes, it has continued to this day, and it still rules this country."

He patted Jita on the shoulder lightly, gave the latter an encouraging look, and told her to go forward. "Gita is a scholar in our regiment. If Ms. Aona wants to hear what happened after that, you might as well ask her."

"Okay," Aona turned her eyes to the short Jita, "Miss Jita, can you tell me the story after that, I am interested in everything after the Elkins dynasty that you said."

Jita nodded. It was a long story, and it would take a long time to tell.But there is no other person in the regiment who is more suitable for this role than her, and this is the request of the regiment leader, and she is duty bound.

She sorted out her thoughts, starting from the collapse of the dynasty, that is nothing new, the twilight of the kingdom is also repeated in another world, turmoil, famine, riots, a decaying world that is on the verge of falling.

But the vultures from the north do not represent the righteous side. Behind it is just the old-fashioned story of aristocratic strife and mutual annexation. After conspiracy and blood, fire and destruction, a new empire was established on the ruins. .

It has experienced decline, recuperation, development, changes, and once again declined again, and has been rejuvenated several times, experienced reforms, and just rose again 30 years ago.

Today, the Ossurians are still the people of the most powerful country in Etalia.

Aona was fascinated by the sound, and it took a while to realize that she had asked a few names during Jita's narration, but those names were too old, and even Jita had never heard of some of them, not to mention Fang Plover.

But in the second half of the story, the girl never interrupted, just listened quietly until the end of everything.

"The empire has changed," she said quietly. "It's hard for us to say whether his wish has come true. Has he betrayed almost every one of us and reached the world he wanted to reach?"

"Miss Aona?" Jita looked up at her in surprise.

"It's nothing." Aona forced a smile and shook her head. "You guys finished telling your stories, now it's my turn to tell the story. That story is actually quite ordinary, with some old-fashioned plots."

Everyone present glanced at each other without speaking.The scene was a little too weird. The girl in front of her seemed to have lived seven centuries ago, and all she knew was the memory of that era.

Although they knew that the other party was not a ghost, people still had a strange feeling in their hearts.

However, Aona seemed to have sensed what everyone was thinking, and said: "But this is not the best place to tell stories, and after listening to such a good story, it seems that it is not the way to treat guests in such a place. Come with me, everyone, and I will take you to a place."

"Ah?" The Paparallian sighed after hearing this, rubbing his feet and said, "Are you going to go again?"

Their group is inherently shorter than humans, and they have to take several steps when others take one step.May was tenacious, but he couldn't do it, so he sat down on the ground and complained.

But Fang Plover was not used to him, and Luo Hao picked up the Papallar as if he was lifting a bag of flour under his signal, and Parker was so angry that he yelled, "Put me down, fat man!"

"you sure?"

"Put it down gently."

Luo Hao glanced at this guy and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Fortunately, the place Aona spoke of was not far away. After passing around a few tall pillars, a gray cave appeared in front of her.Fang Ploy found that the cave was located on a sloping cliff, and there were concealment methods on it. If the imperials hadn't sent magicians to investigate inch by inch, it would be almost difficult to find this place.

But here is so far away from the underground city, even if the imperial people are not crazy enough to make the mage search this vast underground world inch by inch with magic, in fact, it is impossible.

It's no wonder that the Oshu people have found nothing for so many years, and the former alchemists must have managed not only such a secret place, but the cunning rabbit even has three caves.

And the moment he walked into the cave, Fang Plover couldn't help being shocked.

The outside is a dark underground world, but there are soft lights in the cave, and the light comes from above. There is not a rough rock top, but an artificially carved ceiling.

The interior of the entire cave is a very delicate hall. It is not necessarily a well-equipped residence. It is surrounded by tall bookshelves, extending from the floor to the ceiling.

The bookshelves are full of all kinds of books, documents, and thick paper rolls are filled with boxes one after another. Rows of towering bookshelves form the four walls of the hall.

There is a fireplace in the center of the bookshelf.

However, what made Fang Zhi's heart pounding was that he saw the tower-type magic furnace in front of the fireplace at a glance.

It is almost exactly the same as the one seen in the Imperial Workshop, but the one here is obviously much more complete. The one found by the Imperials is full of rust, and this one is placed in front of the fireplace. A huge workbench On the surface, it seems to have been maintained by people, and it is almost intact.

The brass casing was even just coated with a layer of oil.

There is also a desk in the hall. The vegetation from the ground world is planted in a flowerpot on the side of the desk, embellishing the monotonous underground world with bright green under the light.

On the other side of the desk is a fish tank with several whitebait in it, and the water tank is shining brightly.The small objects on the table, the hammock on the side of the room, the spacious and comfortable sofa, the curved handrails spiraling up the stairs, everything here seems to indicate the life taste of the owner here.

Fang Plover couldn't help looking aside, Aoona under the projector was like a phantom, unable to touch everything in this world, and Pepe quickly walked over to help even lift up the cane that fell to the side .

But the girl didn't care, she walked over, sat lightly on the sofa, and motioned for others to sit down too.

Fang Yan was a little absent-minded, his mind was now full of the magic furnace, and the documents piled in the wooden boxes, those might be the most important and precious things left by the alchemists of the sixth technical route. literature.

It is also the purpose of his trip.

Others more or less sensed the difference here, especially Luo Wei and Shui Wuming. Naturally, they would not fail to recognize the huge workbench and the various alchemist tools on it.

Although hundreds of years have passed, many alchemy tools invented in the middle and modern times are still in use today.Some of them have changed their shape, but you can also see what they were originally.

This is undoubtedly the treasure they want to find.

But alas, the treasure seems to belong to the owner.

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. It would be fine if they represented the empire. The people of the empire don't care whether everything here is owned or not. Everything on the land of the empire belongs to the empire.

As for if it is not on the land of the empire, it depends on the situation.

"Everyone, the story I'm going to tell is about the same era as Miss Jita's." But Ao Na didn't seem to notice the expressions of the crowd, and she narrated, "There were a few young people at that time, they The first one is called Jeldham, who is an excellent craftsman, the second is a student from the Silver Tower, Helinwell, he is a student of the famous great alchemist Hein, and the third is a weird Genius, his name is Friston."

"Friston?" Fang Plover asked unexpectedly.

Aona was interrupted, but she didn't worry about it, but looked at him, "What's wrong with Mr. Ed?"

The president of the Craftsman's Association happened to be called Friston, but that was nothing. Imperials with the same name were very common, but he was a little surprised to hear this name all of a sudden. "What is this Friston's last name?"

"His name is Eisengreen, and he is a descendant of a small family on the border of the empire."

"A member of the Golden Goat family?"

"Why," Aona asked curiously, "Did this family become famous later?"

"Yes, the Eisengreen family later became one of the seven great mage families," Fang Plover nodded and replied, "Do you want to hear stories about them, Ms. Aoona?"

"No, I can probably guess what happened."

But it should be just the same name, the chairman is from a noble family of the empire, but certainly not from the Eisengreen family.

Fang Yan said: "Ms. Aoona, please continue."

"The fourth one, who also happens to be a descendant of the mage family, is a warlock from the Draka family. He is cold and has a bad relationship with everyone, but he has extensive knowledge and is the most reliable in the team. Mind. The fifth is an aristocratic young man named Hail Nam..."

"Ah," hearing this, Miss Scholar couldn't help but lose her voice.All eyes turned to her, and Jita immediately blushed and waved her hands, "I'm fine, I just heard a familiar name from history."

Aona pursed her lips and smiled, not paying attention.

Only then did Jita quietly enter the text in the team channel:

"The Sword of the Empire, Hail Nam-Joyce, the most famous sword master in the history of the empire. He himself was also an incredible task at that time. He was the second son of the Duke of Joyce. At the end of the Erkins dynasty, he served as the chancellor of the empire."

Seeing this line of words, Fang Yan couldn't help being in awe, and suddenly realized the gold content of these names that Ao Na mentioned. How could it be inferior to being able to walk with such an outstanding person, the son of a duke and a prime minister?

He suddenly became curious about each of the names.

Three craftsmen, one of whom is a student of Hein Fam, he has also seen this name too much, and has developed a certain immunity, otherwise this identity alone is not inferior to the son of the Duke, the imperial sword in history St.

A seer from the family of golden goats, a snake-eyed warlock, who else?

He looked at Aona.

The girl just said at the end, "The sixth person is also the last person. His name is a secret to me. It's not that I want to lose the book bag, but I really don't want to mention his name at this time. All in all, his background, Knowledge is not much different from the previous few, even more far-sighted, with lofty ambitions...and...ambition..."

She paused for a moment.

"This story begins with the life experiences of these young people."
