The earl looked around at everyone, especially the traditional allies of the Xilin-Spika family, and saw that although everyone was silent, the expressions on their faces revealed what they were thinking - the Rose Workshop is of great importance to the Southern Alliance, Most people are unwilling to hand it over to an outsider - especially when the other party is a 'Holy Chosen One' who cannot be trusted.
However, Count Silin-Spica had already expected this in his heart, and when he thought about it, he felt a little more certain. He looked at the young man again, who nodded slightly to him.
So the count turned around and patted everyone's hands gently, attracting people's eyes to look in this direction. He then said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the Rose Workshop has been passed down to me because of the joint efforts of ten generations of the Xilin-Spika family. Of course, this also includes the hard work of the Southern Alliance. I am better than any of you." Everyone knows this.”
He paused for a moment, as if to let his words settle in everyone's minds: "However, my choice of Luo Lin as the next generation successor of Rose Workshop is definitely not without purpose. I invite you here today to reveal a secret to you. "
People were startled when they heard this.
But seeing the count turn around, at his signal, the young man stepped forward, took out something and put it in the count's hand.
There was some silence in the hall for a while. In the eyes of everyone, it was a pitch-black, edged octahedron, a bit like a much smaller Annihilator QV700, so compact that it could be held in one hand.
But it is obviously much more sophisticated than the Annihilator, and the craftsmanship on it is not a product of this era. Only the craftsmanship of the Numerin elves an era ago could reach such a level that is close to art.
And that is undoubtedly a flexible construct.
But the vast majority of people in the hall had never seen it.
"This is..." Only Fang Yu was shocked.
Because he had only seen this thing not long ago. In the Hall of Thousand Doors, it was one of the two types of fighting fairies - the jet black star. It's just that after the illusion disappeared, the two types of fighting fairies were not preserved, and everything at that time was just like a dream.
Later, the design drawings of the fighting fairies that appeared in Arquette were somewhat similar to the former, which made him realize that the fighting fairies in the fantasy world might have really existed. I just never dreamed that I would see the true form of the dark star in this place.
Only those who have fought against this kind of clockwork goblin will understand its power. If the silver fighting fairies he controlled in the illusion were technically traceable, then the technical concepts of this type of black fighting fairies could almost be said to be an era ahead of contemporary alchemy.
He almost subconsciously wanted to take two steps forward to see with his own eyes the structure of this thing.
But fortunately, the other person's following words brought him back to reality.
The Earl looked at the dark structure in his hand and said with emotion: "My father and I discovered this thing in the ruins of Numelin thirty years ago, but so far, I haven't figured out what Numelin is." Lin Elf designed it with concepts and ideas.”
"Don't even talk about the concept," the count said, holding up the dark star: "Even manipulating it is very difficult."
Sure enough, he closed his eyes and gently raised his left hand wearing a metal glove. But the pitch-black construct only floated slightly in his hand for half an inch, and then quickly fell down.
This scene shocked everyone in the hall.
Count Silin Spica is the number one elf envoy in the Southern Alliance. Although elf envoys rarely control constructs other than humanoid elf forms, this does not mean that they cannot. In fact, their powerful computing power allows most elves to operate other flexible structures with ease.
But this small construct turned out to be so difficult to control under the opponent's control.
People couldn't help but whisper:
"...This, this must be a relic from the elves of Numelin."
"Yes, only Numelin elves with magical abilities can control such a flexible structure, right?"
"It's a pity that we humans are not born with the adaptability of ether, so we can only rely on core crystals for conversion."
These alchemists all admired the technological crystallization of the Numelin era, but they were also a little curious, what secrets did the other party want to reveal? If we just talk about this construct, it definitely cannot reach the level of 'secret'.
Not many relics from the Numelin era are unearthed every year, but a lot have been accumulated.
Even if this one is more exquisite, it is nothing more than an 'antique'.
But at this moment, the earl whispered to the young man beside him: "Luo Lin, come here."
The young man stepped forward, took the pitch-black construct, raised the metal glove on his right hand, and placed it in his palm.
The count turned around and spoke loudly: "You have lived in this southern land for generations. You should know more about the history and legends of this land than I do. You should remember that we have a The well-known legend about the Dragon Seal——"
"Seal of the Dragon?"
Several low shouts came from the hall.
Fang Yu was a little confused about this unfamiliar term. At this time, the other party spoke again: "It is said that the magical abilities of the elves in Numerin in the past were all taught by the dragon, so they called it the mark of the dragon."
"And regarding this, there is an ancient prophecy in the South, which has been circulated among us alchemists for centuries," he suddenly chanted softly: "The lost secret is waiting for its owner. When disaster strikes, The chosen one from the stars is coming soon, chosen by the spire, and the dragon's seal will return to the world——"
There was a deep sound in the hall.
Almost everyone was chanting this passage repeatedly.
As for this prophecy, it has been circulated among the alchemists of Eldorfin for unknown generations. Even among the crowd, Falaise, an alchemist from the Craftsmen's Association, had heard of this:
As for the prophesied spire, some people think it is the Tower of Eldorfin, but others think it is the Four Seasons located in Oshur, Hill of Giant Trees, Lotao and Corin-Ithurion. tower.
The former believes that the Eldorfin Spire existed before the birth of Corrin-Ithurion. As a legacy of the Numelin elves, it makes perfect sense that the Spire in the prophecy is used to refer to it. But the supporters of the latter also have valid reasons. After all, the guardian of Xia Jin Tower is himself a giant dragon.
To say that the most famous three-headed dragon in Corin-Ithurion for centuries is actually the master of Nicol Bolas, Toragothos and Nervad.
Now Nicol Bolas has long been history, and Toragothos has just died in the desert. Of the three dragons, the only one left now is the Lord of the Cloud Dragons. At this moment, people couldn't help but subconsciously think that the master of Nervad just left Holy Bow Peak not long ago——
Is there any coincidence here?
The ruler of Holy Gong Peak has really chosen a suitable successor as rumored?
But Count Silin Spica did not mention this and only replied: "Now the predicted disaster has come to Fenris Island, and news comes from the north that the Dragon Witch of the past seems to have been resurrected and is ready to take action. …”
"Now the prophecy has appeared, and you all know that this prophecy was left by the ancient Numerin elves, and is related to the mark of the dragon and its magical legacy. So at the moment the disaster happened, I already had a Speculation - is the second half of the prophecy also coming to us? I even heard that the lizards are looking for the beloved of the stars in this world, which may be used as a support for this speculation."
"And until I met Rollin."
He looked at the young man.
The young man only raised his hand slightly, and amid a buzzing sound - and no actuating device could be seen on the dark clockwork fairy in his hand, it automatically levitated. Under his guidance, the dark star was slowly flying from one side to the other side.
And it was that moment.
Fang Yu saw a black light rising from the opponent's palm.
Suddenly, he felt his heart beat heavily and he felt dizzy. He almost took a step forward and knelt on the ground, but he quickly reached out and pressed his chest to calm himself down before he stabilized his body. But his face was pale and he was dripping with cold sweat.
For a moment, two warm forces, one in front and one behind, protected his inner world. "Mr. Knight, calm down." Miss Tata's calm voice came from the bottom of her heart. Although the other force was silent, it still silently guarded his spiritual defense.
Fang Yu immediately understood where this second power came from. He dived into his conscious world and saw the half-dragon girl still sleeping peacefully, motionless. "Thank you, little one." Fang Yu could not help but whisper in his heart.
That power immediately became kind to him.
He then opened his eyes and raised his head, only to see that no one else in the hall seemed to feel anything unusual. They just stared at this scene and held the spirit legacy! "
"Mark of the Dragon!"
Such sounds were happening all around.
Luo Lin glanced at everyone before taking back the dark stars.
The earl nodded to him with satisfaction, then turned around and said to everyone: "You have also seen that Luo Lin was born with the ability to control the magic weapon of the Numerin elves. This seems to be in fulfillment of the prophecy. This It’s the ability of the Dragon’s Mark.”
He paused and then said: "This ancient prophecy has been circulated in our southern border for several generations, and today we are fortunate enough to witness it becoming a reality. At this moment, the alliance is in turmoil - this may be the key to knowledge. The guidance given to us by the inheritance and guardian Anji Na is in the dark."
"That's why I finally made the decision to make Luo Lin the next successor of Rose Workshop. Of course, he still needs to hone his skills, so he also needs your support."
There was silence in the hall.
Even Ander Uriel was somewhat repelled for a moment. "It's really not my fault that I don't work hard. I've tried my best, little guy, and the little girl from the Ma Wei family," he shook his head. Although my stupid student also has some talents, compared with the characters in this prophecy, there is no slight difference.
As a person from the Southern Territory, he naturally knows how deeply that prophecy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Southern Territory. The irony is that he joked about this with his old friend in the afternoon, but he unexpectedly shot himself in the foot.
"It seems that the rumors about the Hall of Thousand Doors are true." Falaise said to him meaningfully.
Ender shook his head.
…
In the corner of the hall, 'Ms. Papamo' watched this scene from a distance and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This guy is too powerful. What kind of hero is he? He killed Toragotos again. What is he now?" The man of prophecy.”
He shook his head: "I think Captain has little hope this time."
The Papalar looked at the others: "How about we think of another way? Is the Fairy Heart necessary?"
Everyone was silent.
Tianlan, Jita and Luo Yu all looked worried, while Ai Xiaoxiao looked nervous.
Only Tang Xin and Sylvide were looking in that direction, their eyes flashing with thought. It was at this time that Fang Yu suddenly said: "Miss Sylvide, there is something wrong with that person."
Sylvester was slightly startled, then turned to look at him: "What?"
"I can't tell you very clearly," Fang Yu shook his head weakly, recalling the previous scene, and then replied: "I felt a similar aura of power from him in Fenris underground before. I don't know about Noumei." What would the dragon mark left by the forest elf be like, but it is definitely not that kind of power——"
"A similar aura of power beneath Fenris?"
"I have only experienced similar power in Nicol Bolas, Toragothos, and the lizard god."
"Dark Ether." Sylvide's eyes flashed slightly, and she immediately reacted: "You are saying that he may have an affair with the Dragon Worship Cult, which means-"
Fang Plover nodded: "Toragotos may not be dead."
"Ah, then, isn't he lying? We must expose him!" Ai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaimed.
"But the problem is," Tang Xin turned around at this time: "How to expose it?"
"Isn't this easy?" Ai Xiaoxiao replied matter-of-factly: "Didn't he use dark power? As long as my cousin stands up and exposes him, it will be fine."
"Little princess, your thoughts are so simple," Tang Xin shook her head gently: "I guess it's not that easy. Who else except this pigeon could sense the dark power before? Ai Xiaoxiao and I can forget it. ,what about you?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"I don't know much about the power system in your world, but it is obvious that the other party dares to use such power in public, which means that he must have something to rely on," Tang Xin calmly analyzed: "Not only can you not prove this At the same time, you can’t prove that he is not the person in the prophecy.”
Everyone couldn't help but be silent. They couldn't prove that it was the power of darkness, and they couldn't prove that it was not the ability of the Dragon's Mark. Besides the Dragon's Mark, what other power could reproduce the alchemy of the Numerin elves?
In fact, it is not impossible.
Both Sylvide and Fang Plover were thinking of the same place at this moment.
"Non-attribute crystal."
It can be said that the Yishi Crystal is also a legacy of the elves. Coincidentally, this is also an alchemical technology that mortals can master.
Even the mortals it refers to can even be those who have no attribute suitability at all. Once it is popularized, its impact will be no less than the magic taught by the dragons to the elves of Numelin in the past.
This may be the 'mark of the dragon' left by the Numei elves to mortals.
Fang Yu couldn't help but have a strange idea in his mind. Was his encounter in the elven ruins a coincidence?
What does it mean to be the Lord of the Spires?
He came back to his senses and stared into Sylvester's shallow sea-like eyes. It was obvious that both of them had such thoughts in their minds. There is no doubt that as long as he can produce a crystal of the elven heritage, it will prove that the other party may not be the person of the prophecy.
Because at least at this moment, there are already two kinds of 'Dragon Marks'.
"No," Tang Xin obviously saw what he was thinking and replied flatly: "The One-Type Crystal is the most important secret for you, cousin. No outsider can reveal it except within this team. At least for the time being. Otherwise, it will only cause greater trouble."
Her tone was so firm that she left absolutely no room for anything.
Even Tianlan couldn't help but pull Jita aside and whispered: "Brother Ed's sister is so amazing."
Jita nodded with deep understanding.
Fang Yu also nodded when he heard this. He naturally understood this in his heart, especially since this secret could not be revealed in front of people related to the dark dragon.
Although he had such thoughts for a moment, he quickly calmed down. The secret of the Yiyi Crystal must be kept until the day it can have greater significance, instead of being used here to fight for the ownership of the Rose Workshop.
"Then what should we do now?" Ai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask at this time. From the tone of his voice, he completely regarded himself as one of the Seven Seas Brigade, and he didn't seem to be outside at all.
Sylvide frowned slightly and replied softly: "Since the captain believes that this person has an affair with the dark dragon, Delis's father cannot be ruled out as a suspect. The current situation is different from what we considered before. There are some changes, and we have to re-plan.”
"Delise's father?" Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Silverde, is your suspicion a bit too much?"
His impression of Delis and the Uncrowned Crown was pretty good.
"It's just a possibility, Captain." Sylvide replied.
"But……"
Sylvide only smiled and said: "Captain, you are good at everything, but you trust strangers too easily."
"Especially women." Tang Xin suddenly made a point.
"Tangtang, what are you talking about?" Fang Plover was embarrassed.
Sylvide only smiled softly: "But it doesn't matter, after all, we can act as the captain's eyes - not to mention my life experience, suspicious eyes are always essential, I will take good care of this for the captain. One level.”
Fang Yu glanced at his ship officer, wondering if she was too tired. He couldn't help but think of the other person's acquaintance with him. When they first met at Traveler's Rest, did she look at him with the same eyes?
But although Miss Ship Officer did not have the ability to communicate with his soul like Tata, she seemed to always be able to understand his thoughts. At this time, she smiled slightly and asked softly: "Master Captain, are you thinking of yourself again?"
"ah?"
"Don't worry," Tang Xin suddenly replied coldly, "I guess Miss Sylvide has never doubted you."
"Why, Tangtang?" Fang Yu was confused. Is he so special?
"Because you are too stupid," Tang Xin replied, "I wouldn't doubt a fool."
This answer caused everyone to laugh, and the originally uneasy atmosphere relaxed a lot.
Fang Yu was very embarrassed and was about to ask Sylvide what her plans were so that she could change the subject. But at this moment, everyone suddenly saw the Crownless Crown walking from the direction of the crowd. The young man returned to the crowd, still followed by Delis.
"Miss Sylvide, we are back." The Uncrowned Crown said.
"Delice, have you seen that gentleman?" Sylvide asked.
The latter nodded.
Fang Yu watched the conversation between the two and couldn't help but feel a little confused. He didn't know what they were talking about. But he suddenly remembered the look in Wu Mian's eyes before he left, and couldn't help but ask: "Wu Mian, what happened before, and why did you and Delis leave without saying a word?"
Sylvide turned around at this time and said: "Because Delis's father has already planned to marry Delis to that young man named Luo Lin——"
"What!?" Everyone was surprised except Sylvide. How old is Delis? Is this marriage legal? But Fang Yu was stunned for a moment before he remembered that this was Aitaria, not his own country.
But Luo Lin is also a chosen one. According to the provisions of the "Stargate Declaration", the chosen person's actions must first comply with the laws of the country where they are located on earth. But it was the uncrowned person who replied in a hoarse voice: "It's an engagement, but the nobles of Aitalia rarely break the engagement."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at the other party, and suddenly came back to his senses. He was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Wumian, you and Miss Delise?"
The Uncrowned Crown blushed upon hearing this, and hurriedly said: "Ed, it's not what you think."
These words shocked Tian Lan: "Wumian, you, you and Miss Delis? De, Delis is so talented... Wu Mian, I didn't expect you to be such a person!"
She was so frightened that she quickly took Jita's little hand and took a step back.
The uncrowned crown was left at a loss.
Fang Yu also looked seriously at Wu Mian Guan and said, "Wu Mian, between you and Miss Delise?"
The Uncrowned Crown quickly shook his head: "I do like Delis, but there is absolutely no violation of the rules. I will wait until she reaches adulthood, if she still has the reason to accept me then..."
Fang Plover breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that this guy would cause something big. But he also knew that it was common for noble girls in Aitalia to marry early, which was very different from the customs on Earth. Although Delis was still young, her views on marriage were definitely not comparable to those of girls of the same age on Earth.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Delis took the initiative to take a step forward and said in a childish voice: "I like Wu Mian, and Wu Mian also likes me. What's wrong with this? Mr. Ed, if you are willing to help us If you are busy, Rose Workshop will definitely stand behind you in the future."
These words made Fang Yu slightly startled. Although Delis usually acted very assertive, the maturity and calmness contained in these words still impressed him. He couldn't help but look at Sylvester behind him, and the ship's officer was gently nodding to him.
But he thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Wumian, Delis, you are my friends. Even if there is no matter about the Rose Workshop, I will definitely help you. But Delis, you must Listen to Wu Mian’s opinion.”
After hearing what he said, Delis couldn't help showing a happy expression, nodded and said: "Mr. Ed, I wrongly blamed you before. You are a truly noble person. Sister Sylvide's vision is indeed true." Much more powerful than me, if you say that Wu Mian and I are your friends, then both Rose Workshop and I will cherish this friendship."
Fang Yu couldn't help but glance at the little girl.
At this time, Sylvide said: "Then let us think of something. Now that you have contacted that adult, but Delis, there are some changes in the plan now. I need you to find a reliable servant to help us Send a message."
"A reliable servant?"
Delis was slightly startled, but still nodded.
The discussion in the hall is getting heated. Although the legend is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, people still need time to confirm whether it is true or false.
It's just that Ander Uriel didn't intend to object any more at this moment. He just wanted to find another way to compensate his stupid student. As for the Fairy Heart, naturally he had to find another way.
But just as he was about to turn around, a voice rang in the hall:
"If Luo Lin is really a prophecy, it will be a great blessing for the Southern Alliance, but prophecy is prophecy, and tradition is tradition." The voice replied lightly: "Before this, every successor of Rose Workshop, including the Earl himself, has No one has ever made an exception - if the Earl makes an exception for Luo Lin, it may not be a good thing for this young man."
After everyone heard this voice, they couldn't help but turn around and look for the person who made the voice. After the crowd separated, everyone could clearly see the speaker - he was blind in one eye, wore an eyepatch, was lame on one leg, and was using a cane, but he was also an old man.
Although this man was physically disabled, no one around him dared to be disrespectful to him at all, just because this man was the previous president of the Elfendor Alchemist Alliance. It is just rumored that he has not managed the internal affairs of the alliance for many years, and like Ender, he only concentrates on alchemy.
But he didn't expect that the other party would appear at this time.
Even Count Xilin Spica was a little surprised and bowed respectfully to the other party: "Teacher, why are you here?"
Everyone knew that the old speaker was half the earl's mentor.
"I heard there is an outstanding young man," the old man looked at Luo Lin and then smiled slightly: "So I came to see him."
But Ender was a little surprised when he saw this scene. He knew the character of this old man very well. Apart from money, the Alchemy Society was probably the only thing that could arouse his interest. For what outstanding young man would the other party leave his workshop?
He didn't believe it.
But he suddenly realized something and couldn't help but glance into the hall.
But of course I didn’t see Sylvester and Fang Plover.
As for his teacher's opinion, Count Xilin Spica did not dare to disrespect him. He thought for a moment and thought that what the other party said made sense. Even if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. He made an exception here for this young man he was optimistic about, which may not be a good thing.
He thought for a moment and then nodded: "What the teacher said is that we should follow the tradition of Elfendor and ask you to give a testimony."
As soon as he said this, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
After listening to the conversation between the two parties, Fang Yu couldn't help but turn around and ask Sylvide: "What is Elfendor's tradition?"
"That is an assessment ceremony for the heirs of the Rose Workshop," Sylvide looked at the center of the hall and said with a flash of Qianhai's eyes: "Under the witness of twelve masters, it is confirmed whether the examiner has this qualification. . Of course, there are not many great craftsmen and great alchemists to be found in the southern region now, but it is also required that the test be completed under the witness of the top seven members of the Elfendor Council."
"Seven people max?"
"Master Ander is one of them, but he is the last speaker. There is also the previous speaker, the person who spoke before. He is the mentor of Delish's father and has a respected status. And the current speaker Sonam Steelbrow , plus four department heads of the Elfendor (Southern Realm) Alchemist Alliance - Delis's father is one of them, and Pudra is also one of them, he is the director of the Potions Department."
"So Delise's father is the head of the Fairy Department?" Fang Yu asked.
Sylvide nodded: "In addition, there is the Crystal Department and the Combat Artisan Department. The Southern Alchemist Department is not as detailed as the Artisan Union."
Tang Xin couldn't help but ask: "Then this assessment is too childish? If the heir has evil intentions, wouldn't it be very bad for you?"
"That's not the case," Sylvide replied: "The assessment is only one aspect, and those who participate in the assessment must swear an oath on Elfendor's Seal Stone to never violate the original intention of the alliance."
"What's the use? This doesn't guarantee that the other party will not deteriorate in the future."
Hearing this, Sylvester only smiled slightly.
Fang Yu then replied: "Tangtang, nothing is perfect in this world. Besides, the Southern Alliance has existed for so long, so it should have its own set of supervision systems."
Ai Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to look at this stupid 'cousin' after hearing this.
Tang Xin gritted her teeth, and her cold eyes were pricking the latter with holes: "Fang Gezi, great, you are helping an outsider now - I will remember you!"
However, Fang Yu was obviously not aware of this. He could only see it at this moment. The mentor of Earl Xilin-Spica and the former president of the Southern Alchemist Alliance should be the same person that Sylvide had previously asked Delis to marry Wu. The 'adult' whom Crown Crown went to contact.
It seems that the other party has already prepared. If the count recommends Luo Lin, this 'sir' will find a way to lead the recommendation to the assessment. Since the other party must be able to participate in the assessment, Sylvide can naturally find a way to get him to participate as well.
It's just that the current situation is different from before. After the prophecy is close to him, it will not be so easy for him to take part in this assessment.
He couldn't really expose the secret of the Yiyi Crystal, or go up and claim that he was the savior of Fenris Island?
These two things are secrets that cannot be easily revealed in front of Dragon Worshipers.
He couldn't help but look at Sylvester, a little curious about what she was thinking of.
At this moment, Falaise was obviously curious. Because he saw that his friend had always had a sad face before, but since a servant came over and whispered a few words to him not long ago, the look on his face immediately relaxed.
He even smiled slightly, looking mysterious and mysterious.
You can never underestimate the curiosity of a dwarf. Falaise was as curious as a cat scratching his head, and he couldn't help but want to go up and ask the other person what happened. But at this moment, Ander suddenly took a step forward and said:
"Speaking of assessment, I also have an idea."
The Earl was startled for a moment, turned back to look at him, and asked, "What do you think, Master Ander?"
Ender smiled slightly: "Instead of conducting the assessment in private, it is better to make it public. In this way, everyone will have no doubts about the fact that Luo Lin is the successor of the Earl. I have a suggestion here. The Continental League is being held in Vanrich. Why don’t we put assessment above competition?”
.. m.
