Fang Plover felt that he was in a very strange place. Only boundless darkness can be seen in the field of vision, and there is no sense of space. The world seems to be only a thin layer of paper, with no up and down, no left and right, and even no awareness of its own existence. He thought to himself: "Am I dead or alive?"
But suddenly there were dots of light in the darkness, like a flat scroll, showing a magnificent starry sky in front of him. Even though Fang Plover had never died in Etalia, he still recognized this as the resurrection interface.
Every bit of starlight symbolizes a temple of resurrection. Different colors of light represent different gods. The starlight that was closer to him was pure white, and Fang Plover recognized it as the divine light of Mirela Temple located in the Hidden Spring.
Mirela, the healer, the protector of the honest, the god of redemption, the goddess of fertility, and the symbol of life in Aitaria. Resurrecting in her temple can enjoy a 15% reduction in experience loss. This small benefit is also a way for the gods to win over believers.
Fang Plover opened his mouth in surprise.
He could see the resurrection interface, which meant an amazing thing - stowaways were not restricted by the Dead Zone. This also confirms people's long-held suspicion that stowaways are more like aborigines than chosen ones.
He didn't know if he was the first to discover this fact, but there was no doubt that the secret would never become widely known.
Huge unexpected joy instantly filled his heart. After all, no one wants to die, right? However, Fang Yu immediately discovered that most of the stars on the star map were very dim and unselectable.
The resurrection range of Aitaria is about a hundred miles. Resurrection beyond this range is commonly known as "the body picked up". As for which god you are picked up by, it depends on which temple you are closest to in a straight line. Resurrection in this way will result in the loss of a large amount of experience, generally speaking an extra 1% will be gained for each mile.
There are three Resurrection Temples within a hundred miles of this forest. In addition to Mirela Temple located in the Hidden Spring, there is also a Traveler Temple and an Amea Forest Temple.
In addition to being the patron saint of commerce, Roman is also a guide for travelers. There is a saying in Etalia that describes this goddess - the road is the temple, and the path is the shrine. Although it is a bit exaggerated, wherever the Traveler goes, there is the reach of her divine power. Her temples are spread all over the world. Usually, the only temple you can see in the deep mountains, old forests, and wilderness is the Traveler's Temple.
As for the latter, Amea is the god of forests and nature, so it is not surprising that her temple appears in such a place.
But these three temples were locked in Fang Plover's field of vision.
This is completely counterintuitive.
On such a large star map, there is only a nearby light blue light that can be selected. That is the temple of Anjina, the god of knowledge and self-improvement.
"How can there be a temple of knowledge?" Fang Yu was stunned for a moment. Knowledge spreads among people. Most of Angina's temples are in densely populated cities, often accompanied by large libraries. He has never heard of such a strange thing as the Temple of Knowledge appearing in the wilderness.
He tried to sink his mind into the starlight, and suddenly, an irresistible suction force came from the vortex.
When Fang Yu opened his eyes again, he found that he was already in a strange temple. The shape of this temple was very different from the ones he had seen in Kapka and Rodel. It did not have a bright and open front hall, tall and beautiful rose arch windows, nor did it have spacious and comfortable side corridors and sacred and solemn halls. The Pulpit - The latter all started with the New Age Reformation.
And before that, just like the temple in front of me, a tall rotunda, solemn and silent, with pale light cast from the vault, coming from the faintly glowing quartz above.
Between the stone pillars are some religious statues, most of which are legendary heroes. They are Anji's devout followers and voters. Fang Yu could only recognize some of the characters, such as the astute Ciel, the sage Bock, and the creator Ed - the latter is the greatest alchemist in history, the creator of the holy crystal, and the source of his ID. .
In the center is the huge stone statue of Anji - this is no different from now. The recorder of history still has a quill in one hand and a long sheepskin scroll hanging down to the ground.
Angina's image is that of a serious middle-aged man with a horned beard and meticulously styled hair. He looks very old-fashioned and wears a robe shaped like an alchemist. In fact, some people think that he is the patron of alchemists.
It was chilly in the temple.
Fang Yu couldn't help but shudder. He checked the things on his body, and then he remembered that he was penniless, and there was nothing to lose after the three clockwork goblins were damaged.
Scarpe's glow stone was still in his coat pocket, and he gently put his hand there, as if he could still feel the temperature of the glow stone.
In just one day, Dawn Star had fallen here. The familiar faces from the past could no longer be seen in this world. Even he himself had been resurrected in this strange place.
"I wonder how Miss Scarpet and Mr. Querod are doing now. Have they returned to the star port?" he thought secretly.
Fang Yu heard that many people who had just returned from Aitaria were not used to life in the real world - just like when they first stepped into the world behind the door.
But sometimes it's more serious, because they come here knowing that they will return to Earth one day, but leaving means a real farewell.
Many people have met many different people in this world, and have their own life trajectories here. Some people even have friendships with aboriginal people - and when they leave, they are destined to never see these people again. everything.
Therefore, it is understandable to regard leaving as a real death. It may be difficult for others to understand this emotion, but in fact many people can no longer adapt to their past life because of this. Most of the selectees will have some mental illness after retirement - depression or other problems, and there are also many who commit suicide because of this.
Therefore, Fang Yu is a little worried. Although the industry is gradually becoming more standardized in this era, and retired recruits are given a longer period of psychological counseling, there is no guarantee that accidents will not occur.
He sighed quietly.
I couldn't help but raise my hand and looked at the back of my hand. As expected, the half-crown emblem was still there. When he saw that emblem, he thought of that stunningly beautiful face and the girl's calm eyes.
What was the last thing she said to herself?
Fang Yu felt a little pain in his heart.
Although she knew that she didn't really want to kill him, would she still do it if she didn't have the dagger? Fang Yu had a vague answer in his mind, but he didn't want to believe it.
He looked at the emblem and couldn't help but wipe it with his hands, but it had no effect. "What exactly is this emblem?" Fang Yu didn't quite understand what Miya wanted the crown for, just as he didn't understand what the emblem actually did.
He wanted to smear blood on it, but he could only give up because he was afraid of the pain.
After standing there for a while, he realized that no monk had come to receive him for a long time.
"Weird?" Fang Hen thought to himself. No matter how indifferent the believers in Anji were, they would not stop spreading the gospel of the gods.
He looked around and realized that this temple was very strange - there was no one inside, neither the resurrected elect nor the staff, it was completely empty.
He was the only one in the huge hall.
"Abandoned temple?" Fang Plover looked around with some confusion. "But how come there is still divine power in the abandoned temple?"
He couldn't help but walk forward slowly. The sound of his footsteps was particularly loud in the empty space. After walking around the hall, he discovered another even more strange place - there was no exit in this temple.
The aboriginal people of Aitalia believe that the south is sacred, so most buildings face north and south, and religious buildings such as temples should strictly abide by this. But there was only one side hall on the south side of the temple. Fang Plover walked in with some surprise and found a lonely statue inside.
A tall elf statue.
Its shape and size are basically the same as those of the mortal followers outside. He is also wearing a robe, never leaving his book in his hand, and has a bookish air. This is not surprising, most of Angina's believers are like this.
But Fang Yu still had some doubts. "How could it be placed here alone?" He walked over and looked at an open stone book at the foot of the stone statue. Not surprisingly, the pages of the book were engraved with an introduction to this person's life. Fang Plover saw that the text on the page was in the Elvish and Oshur languages - people who enter the world are born with a local language, and what Fang Plover learned is naturally the official language of Kaolin-Ithurian, which is derived from the Imperial language family. It has the same origin, so he can barely read the words on the stone tablet.
The first sentence on the stone tablet surprised him.
'Lolin-Ed's most distinguished pupil, Hayne-Pham, 779-921. '
Rollin Ed is the Great Alchemist Ed, the most outstanding alchemist in history, and can even be said to be one of the founders of alchemy. He was born in the age of magic, which means that the owner of this statue may also be from that era. The date on the page is likely to refer to the Magic Era 779 to 921.
That was almost a thousand years ago, and Fang Yu couldn't help but take a breath of air.
He immediately thought that wasn't the era when the Numerin Elf Empire existed. "Could it be said that this temple is related to the ruins outside?" Fang Yu suddenly thought of a huge possibility. The dead zone in the ruins outside might be to cover up the mysterious resurrection point of the temple.
And if no aboriginal people have come here in the thousand years since the Numerin elves left, then he is likely to be the first person to discover this temple.
Because it is impossible for the chosen ones to reach this place.
His heart suddenly beat suddenly.
Unknown means gain - this is one of the iron rules of Etalia. And the Numelin elves have hidden this place so deeply. Is it possible to say that there is only such an empty temple here?
Fang Yu thought of this and resisted the urge in his heart to continue reading.
But as he was reading, he suddenly cried out "Ah".
The sound echoed and amplified in the hall, even startling himself.
He wiped away cold sweat, but his heart was pounding and his hands were trembling. But this tremor was not due to fear or fear, but to excitement and excitement. What was written on the stone page was the life of Hayne-Farm, describing how he further explored the achievements of his teacher and tried to further promote alchemy. Come on.
The greatest achievement of the alchemist Rollin Ed's life was the invention of the artificial holy crystal and the magic furnace. The former led to the birth of the Dragon Knight - making the artificial knight appear for the first time in the history of Aitalia, breaking the The contractor of the natural dragon soul (the sky knight) has a monopoly on the upper power.
The latter is a symbol of the civilianization of alchemy and magical power, making alchemical civilization truly possible.
Of course, all this did not happen overnight. Lorraine Ed had only completed the initial design. The conditions for using the first generation of holy crystals and magic furnaces were far more stringent than today, and they were far from being used by civilians. change. But it is precisely because generations of successors have continued to pioneer on this path that the alchemy civilization of Aitaria has reached its current scale.
Among them are pioneers like Hayne-Fame.
What is written on the page about Hain-Fam's achievements is that he created a unique crystal 'zero', which is a crystal without attributes. There is one sentence about this kind of crystal that makes Fang Yu's heart beat, that is, Hain-Fam has created a true non-attributed holy crystal.
Holy crystal without attributes.
Fang Yu almost couldn't believe his eyes when he saw this sentence. He read it three times before confirming that he had read it correctly.
The so-called holy crystal is the carrier of the dragon soul. It is divided into two types: naturally formed and artificially produced. Naturally formed holy crystals are the crystals left behind after the death of real dragon creatures. Under special conditions, humans can resonate with them and become sky knights.
The artificial holy crystal contains the artificial dragon soul, and the person who makes a contract with it is the dragon knight.
The biggest difference between the two is that the former is affected by the powerful memory and inheritance of dragon creatures, and generally focuses on strengthening its own body for combat. The latter, because it does not have a true heritage of dragon attributes, took a different approach - comparing the artificial dragon soul to an intelligent AI, using it to control the dragon knight's structure to assist in combat to make up for the power gap with the sky knight.
Therefore, the Dragon Knight is a trinity, the dragon soul, the operator itself, and the Dragon Knight construct are indispensable.
Of course, some selectors believe that Sky Knight is the development direction of physics, while Dragon Knight is more suitable for the development of intelligence, summoning and legal systems. However, natural holy crystals are hard to come by, so there are actually many top physics-oriented selectors. It is also the path of the dragon knight chosen.
But no matter which path, the holy crystal is a symbol of fighting for the profession.
This is because the holy crystal must first be an attribute crystal. This is because the non-attribute crystal cannot carry the powerful power of the dragon soul. This is almost an established fact.
But today, this established fact no longer seems to be tenable.
As long as the words recorded on this stone page are true.
This is of great significance to Fang Plover, because the non-attribute holy crystal means that people without magic adaptability can also become dragon knights. Even though this stone page says that Hain-Fam only designed the holy crystal and did not create the corresponding dragon knight structure.
That's okay too.
Anyway, with his level of mental power, he can't control the Dragon Knight structure. That's something that only people at level 20 or 30 will consider. And just one artificial dragon soul is enough to benefit him endlessly - don't forget that he is an alchemist, and the combat craftsman is called a secondary dragon knight.
Just because craftsmen have the ability to manipulate multiple flexible structures.
As for the Dragon Knight structure, it is actually just a top-notch flexible structure.
More importantly, Dragon Soul will also bring a very powerful ability - the knight system, or the dragon knight system - which is actually the original selector system.
In fact, the human glow device is imitated based on the Dragon Knight system. This is a well-known fact. The first generation of selectors entered the Star Gate directly. The selectors at that time were no different from the current Fang Plover.
They are outstanding soldiers and scientific workers selected by governments of various countries. It is they who have opened up mankind's understanding of Aitalia and used glow stones and human electronic information technology to reproduce the Dragon Knight system - the Chosen One system.
This system opens a new chapter in the Stargate era. After quantifying the data, people can explore the new world just like playing a game, greatly lowering the barriers to entry. In fact, since then, the Chosen Ones have gradually become civilians and become accepted by the public.
At the beginning, the government and the military gradually moved from the front to the backstage, allowing the exploration of the new world to gradually become a commercial and entertainment stage.
Although he said he didn't care, in fact, Fang Yu always dreamed of having a selector system.
Especially after this experience.
But now, this dream seems to be close at hand and within reach. Moreover, it is an advanced version of the selector system, something that top selectors can only come into contact with in the second world.
Dragon Knight system.
At that moment, Fang Plover felt that he was hit by great happiness, and he couldn't help but secretly pray that the holy crystal of the respectable Mr. Hayne-Fam must be nearby.
This possibility is very high. He has a hunch that this temple has a very deep connection with the elf named Hain-Fam, otherwise they would not stand alone for him here.
He even had a feeling that this temple was the real secret hidden under this ruins.
Although the Hailin Crown is valuable, it is not quite right in terms of time. The Kaolin-Ithurian Alliance was born only over 700 years ago. The Hailin Crown may have been cast earlier, but it will not be older than the existence of the Numelin Elf Empire.
It is impossible for the Numerin elves to create the giant structure called 'Certa' in order to protect a crown that will appear in the future, so the target it really protects can only be located deeper in the ruins.
That's this temple -
Fang Yu quickly sorted out the clues. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and read the last sentence on the stone page. After finding no more clues, he raised his head and looked around.
The side hall was empty.
But he immediately discovered something was wrong. The light in the outer hall came from the light quartz affixed to the vault. So how could there be light in this side hall?
He subconsciously raised his head and saw a colorless and translucent crystal suspended above the head of the stone statue.
That form, that soft light, the dragon soul engraving and alchemical traces on the crystal.
no doubt--
It is undoubtedly the Holy Crystal.
Fang Yu felt that his mouth was dry and his heart seemed to stop beating. What he saw was no longer a holy crystal, but his future path.
A door that can be pushed open.
Behind that, there will be another, broader world.
He stretched out his hand in that direction eagerly, as if he could hold it directly in his hand, but suddenly he was stunned - wait a minute, the dragon soul imprint of the holy crystal is transparent.
No dragon soul?
Empty crystal?
…
