A new construct type? Does it come from ancient Numelin alchemy? Or is it some kind of inheritance from the Dark Saints? Somehow, a word naturally appeared in Fang Yu's mind - Yuan Hai. But according to Master Anluoser, the inheritance of the Abyssal Documents is also the inheritance of the Numelin elves. Fang Piao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he had overlooked a blind spot all this time - if the Abyssal Documents came from Numelin The inheritance, then why do people keep it secret? Even though knowledge is determined by the hands of those who have it, this statement itself admits that the origin of Yuanhai Document does not seem to be that simple. What exactly are Yuanhai documents? What do the words on the stone tablets from the Numelin era describe? Fang Yu couldn't help but think of the manuscripts recorded by Princess Rupert's biological mother, the princess during her lifetime - unfortunately, he didn't get much information from those messy notes. But this did not prevent him from thinking about the series of disputes surrounding that manuscript, and everyone involved - the Dawn Star ten years ago, the scholars, the twelve people who only left behind different code names. People, even the Super Competitive Alliance, Stargate Port, Blind Followers, Wandering Alchemists and the Istanian Royal Family.

So many things are enough to explain the secrets hidden behind the Abyssal Document. Are the dark stars he saw in the illusion of the tower also related to it? If not, it seems difficult to explain why they suddenly appeared in the illusion that represented the inheritance of Numelin's alchemy. But if so, what message is the creator of the illusion sending to those who come after it? What does this kind of construction that disappears under the dust of history mean? Is it a kind of technological inheritance, or does it have another deep meaning?

Fang Yu looked at the wreckage in his hand. Because it appeared in this place, it was difficult not to associate it with it. Luo Lin has shown them once, and this is the second time. The dark believers seem to have mastered these structures with strange origins, but the technology has always been traceable, and there will be no gaps out of thin air. Where did the dark believers come from? Where did you get such a technology?

Is it also a Yuanhai document?

There is this possibility, which can explain why people's attitude toward Yuan Haiwen has changed. If the use of this knowledge is used as a label for dark believers, then conversely, the same label can also be used to define who may be a dark believer.

It's just that Fang Yu sorted out the knowledge he had about the Abyssal Documents - whether it was multiple parallels or margins, they seemed to have no connection with these constructs. Or is it that the part of the knowledge he possesses is just superficial compared to Yuanhai Documents? Judging from that daunting manuscript, it doesn't seem impossible.

While he was thinking, it was difficult to notice the subtle changes in the remains in his hands. It suddenly rolled over and grabbed his throat, but a hand stretched out from the side, pulled it out, and threw it against the wall beside it.

The wreckage was shattered against the wall, but the remaining parts were still writhing on the ground, like a dying snake. Fang Yu looked at this scene in shock. He has never encountered such a situation. How did that thing move? Where is its power source?

"Thank you... thank you." He turned around and thanked Shesta, who had a poker face. But the maid glanced at him and dismissed him as nothing.

"This thing doesn't look like a construct at all, but more like some kind of creature." Parker was also startled, looking at the piece of metal twisting on the ground in horror.

"...It's rare to hear you say something so insightful, Parker."

"Really? Then should I say a few more words?"

"no."

Fang Plover interrupted the Papalar who was about to make a long speech and frowned at the thing. He had planned to take it out for inspection, but it looked like safety was a big issue. But he still didn't understand how this thing moved. After thinking for a while, he walked over and picked up the smallest piece of parts from the torn apart wreckage, and then wrapped it up layer by layer with a handkerchief.

"Let's move on," he said to the others.

"But are you sure this thing is safe?"

"I don't know, but gotta see."

The further we go along the rugged road, the more and more debris appears on the ground. And another kind of wreckage appeared - the body of the crystallized beast. The three of them walked carefully around the various wreckage, and Parker couldn't help but exclaimed: "It seems like there has been a war here."

Fang Plover nodded, but he also discerned that this place not only experienced a great battle, but also that the battle occurred from the inside out, so the closer to the outside, the fewer traces of the battle.

Soon, they saw for the first time the still intact remains of that mysterious construct. When the shadow of the thing emerged at the end of the torch light, Parker couldn't help but gasp. What kind of creature is that - people like to design constructs in their own image, it seems to be a natural instinct. The remaining type of constructs mostly imitate certain animals, because every animal that survives today is the most successful masterpiece of nature, and bionics is also one of the most practical sciences. But the metal anomaly in front of it has almost no fixed shape. Its upper body is swollen and its lower body is slender. The metal appendages wrapped around it are flowing across the ground like twisted intestines. It also has two of the largest His arms were also hanging on the ground. At a glance, it was almost impossible to tell where the head was and where the tail was.

Parker took a breath and said, "Oh my god, what is this?"

Fang Plover was also a little shocked. But he is an alchemist after all, and no matter how ugly this thing is, it is just a construct. This thing looked a bit like an ugly worm, so he tentatively gave it a name - Hesiod's worm. Hesiod means the hundred-armed giant in Greek mythology, which is somewhat similar to this thing. meaning.

He patted Parker and said, "Would you like to shoot it?"

"What are you doing? I'll shoot that thing and it will eat us all!"

"If you don't cum, it will eat us all later."

Parker was finally convinced, pulled the winch of the magic crossbow, and doubtfully shot an arrow in that direction.

The arrow hit the shell of the thing, making a clear clang, pulling out a long spark, and flew away. The worms were motionless, like a pile of silent twisted metal fragments piled on the ground.

Fang Plover waited for a while, until the light of the torch was much dimmed. There was only the sound of peeling flames in the silent air. After a while, he said, "Let's go around."

"Go around, go around?" Parker's eyes were as wide as a bell.

"Otherwise, you just walk over?"

"No, I didn't mean that, I meant..."

But Siesta ignored the two of them and walked over.

Fang Plover grabbed the Papalar man by the collar and pulled him over. The Papalar people shouted:

"I'm warning you, don't drag me like a sack of flour. My clothes are new and my collar is wrong. I'll go on my own!"

The three of them cautiously walked around the tall wreckage. Due to his previous experience, Fang Yu also gave up his intention to study it. If this thing moved, it would be as powerful as the hundred-armed giant in Greek mythology. The three of them could not control it. Fortunately, there was no danger in the end. The thing was motionless and silent as usual. This made Fang Yu think about it, what made the wreckage move? Just because it feels like someone is approaching? But how close is close? Does it require physical contact? These were all things he was confused about, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance to experiment.

After passing through the worm's body, Fang Plover saw the body of a tall crystallized beast leaning against the cliff. He recognized this thing - the Disordered Monitor. In the battle three days ago, they were not able to save even one Disordered Monitor. But at this moment, this behemoth fell in this place, and Fang Yu felt slightly palpitated. How strong are the constructs outside?

Further on, the traces of the battle became more intense. But something new appeared on the rock walls on both sides - wall carvings.

The writing is the writing of the ancient Xinthas snake people, ancient proverbs praising the gods of the past and praising the ancient saints.

The murals make Fang Plover seem to have returned to the underground of Fenris. The murals here are exactly the same as there:

At the beginning, the black and white gods fought and meteorites rolled down on the plain, and the creatures on the earth fled in all directions.

Then the evil star came, and the throne was born from the black flames. The empire of the snake people is established.

The seven kingdoms were at war, and the empire was reduced to dust in the disaster. That was a story from an era ago.

But one of the pictures made Fang Plover stop and stare at it for a long time:

It was a black giant star falling from the sky, dragging a long tail, surrounded by many smaller stars.

The snake people on the earth worshiped him, the earth was vast and boundless. But no matter how Fang Yu looked at it, those smaller stars looked like the dark stars he had seen in the illusion of the tower.

Around the mural, and around the worshiping snake man, are seven small obelisks. The light of the black stars is depicted using an abstract expression technique, like a bunch of sharp swords thrust into the earth.

When Fang Yu saw this, he was already so shocked that he couldn't help himself. "Seven obelisks, a place where twelve stars shine together...Seven obelisks, a place where twelve stars shine together, eternal wisdom, endless life."

He read it twice in a row, and there were exactly eleven stars on the mural, no more, no less, plus the main star.

"The Holy Grail of the Elf," Fang Plover murmured, as if he had a feeling of enlightenment in his mind, "This is the Holy Grail of the Elf!"

Parker's mouth dropped open. Even Siesta was moved and took a step forward. There was what the young lady had been looking for - but she suddenly thought of something and silently retreated to Fang Plover.

"Where did the first evil star come?" Like a bolt of lightning flashing through the darkness, lighting up the sea of ​​​​thinking, Fang Plover asked loudly.

He and the Papalar people opened the system together and entered the community, but after flipping through it for a long time, the answer given above was Agnor - a place that has been translated to this day as the Realm of Turbidity.

"Ah." Fang Plover couldn't help shouting. Not only because that place is in the second world, but more importantly, the Chinese division has just suffered a huge defeat there and relied on the intervention of the military to maintain a standing position. Now it has become a place where major forces compete, a place of four battles, a veritable turbid realm.

Fang Plover was keenly aware that the battle a year ago was probably not that simple.

Parker also kept his mouth open for a long time without speaking. After a while, he came back to his senses, licked his dry lips and asked, "Should we continue to explore?"

When they arrived at this place, they had discovered many secrets. But Fang Yu nodded: "Of course." He had a feeling that there must be a greater secret hidden in the deepest part of this place.

The torch went out, and Fang Plover replaced it with another. The road behind is a bit the same, with the wreckage left behind by the battle, the relics of the Sinsas era, and the wall carvings, it's like walking in the corridor of time, but there is nothing new. Suddenly, the space in front of the three people suddenly opened up. They entered a deep circular gorge, and an arched stone bridge connected to the rock platform far ahead. They had also seen similar shapes underground on Fenris Island. The Sinsas snakemen seemed keen on building such structures in the abyss - this closed circular canyon, which is the end of this long road. Section One - The stone platform is circular in shape, surrounded by a circle of tall stone pillars.

Fang Plover looked in that direction. When he led others onto the stone bridge, a strange thought suddenly occurred in his heart:

That is to leave this place immediately, preferably without even looking back. Get off the bridge immediately and return the way you came.

It seems that next step, they will face unimaginable horror. But they have all arrived at this place, how can they return?

Fang Plover overcame this unreasonable thought and walked forward. But the step he took stopped in mid-air, and at that moment - a boundless fear seized his heart.

Huge coercion came down from the top of his head, and Fang Plover raised his head stiffly, almost losing his grip on the torch in his hand. The swaying flame seemed to be unable to produce any light. He looked at the weak flame, which seemed to be attracted by an invisible force. It no longer moved logically, but moved strangely to one side.

He felt that something was getting closer to them, but he couldn't raise his head to see it. He seemed to have been separated from reality. He could think normally in the half-spiritual world, but his body was like a stone sculpture, unable to move.

A green light shone from his coat, and the shining light seemed to drive away all the darkness in an instant, like a warm current flowing into his soul. The fear in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, and Fang Yu seemed to feel that he had regained control of his body.

He reacted suddenly, but immediately felt himself being pulled by someone. It was the maid. The maid grabbed him and rushed across the stone bridge. The Papalars followed closely with a pair of short legs. The three of them jumped suddenly and landed firmly on the platform.

Fang Plover rolled on the ground several times before he realized what had happened. At this time, he heard a low scream coming from above his head. The sound seemed to be able to penetrate the meninges and make the entire underground buzz. Even the surrounding rock pillars shook, and the sand rolled down like a waterfall, making a gurgling sound.

Fang Plover subconsciously looked in that direction, but he only saw a giant tail that was at least a hundred meters long sweeping past in the darkness and disappearing above the cliff. Several rocks rolled down and made several loud noises.

The coercion disappeared, but Fang Plover's whole body seemed to be fished out of water, already soaked. In just a few moments, he was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

He lay on the ground like a drowning man, gasping for air. It felt as if he had died once before and was now reborn.

The Papalar man also lay on the ground, out of breath: "That green light... what is it? If it hadn't been for it, we would all be hanging here."

Only then did Fang Yu remember something, turned over and took out the thing. It was actually two things, not one - one was the amulet given to him by Mr. Anlose.

The other piece was an ordinary piece of dead wood.

That was the Heart of the World Tree that Munyarit had given them. The moment Fang Plover saw this thing, he was almost certain that the person who appeared before might be another guardian.

crystal.

He looked in that direction with some lingering fear, and it always felt like there was still a gaze in the darkness, staring at them there - this lingering weird feeling always made people a little breathless.

The crystal may still be there, but why doesn't it come down and kill them? Fang Plover didn't think that just a withered heart of the World Tree could make it so fearful.

He stared at the darkness and depth in that direction for a long time without saying a word.

Among the three, only Siesta was still standing, raising her head and looking in the same direction. But Parker suddenly looked behind her and shouted in surprise:

"what is that!?"

A swaying ball of light flew out from behind a stone pillar, flew left and right around them, and then stopped not far from them.

Fang Plover also looked at this thing with some curiosity, but it was indeed just a ball of light with nothing inside. He hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to touch the ball of light, but the latter backed away slightly and refused to let him touch it.

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and even their fear of the crystal faded a bit. What is this? Light spirit? Some kind of elemental creature? Mental halo?

But what happened next surprised them even more. They tried to ignore the light group, but wherever they went, the light group followed them.

At first, Fang Plover was worried that this thing would pose a threat to them, but it turned out that he was overthinking it. This light group seemed to be curious about outsiders like them, always surrounding them.

Over time, the three of them became too lazy to care about this little tail. Maybe it would lose interest and leave naturally. There are countless strange creatures in Aitaria, including elves, which seems to be nothing strange.

Fang Yu then tried to let go of his previous fear and began to explore the things on the platform. No matter what the crystal wants to do to them, now that they have arrived at this place, even if they risk losing their lives, they must find out what secrets there are.

This stone platform standing on the deep gorge is actually not very big, and its internal structure is relatively simple. You can almost see it at a glance.

The platform was littered with the corpses of constructs and crystal beasts, most of which had been torn into pieces. They fought desperately around a magic circle in the center of the platform until both sides were exhausted.

But there may be an ultimate winner in this battle.

Fang Plover walked onto the magic circle, which was a newly carved magic circle.

"This magic circle is..."

Fang Yu was slightly startled. Alchemists were familiar with magic circles, but obviously this one was not included.

Its composition is full of peculiarities, with no mobilizing elements and no spell components. There are a lot of descriptions of time and space - a teleportation array? But it doesn't look like it. Fang Yu has never seen a teleportation array that doesn't even provide coordinates. Moreover, there are a large number of specious spells on this formation.

Fang Yu frowned when he walked up to the magic circle. The air around the magic circle was filled with a strange aura. It was a form of ether that he had never seen before. It was certain that the same power once existed in large quantities here. Around the magic circle, they may have surged out of the magic circle in an instant.

Is this a summoning array? But what had they summoned, the power of the entire subterranean Aether River of Nognith?

While he was thinking, something Parker discovered from the center of the circle interrupted his train of thought.

In the center of the magic circle, there is a towering crystal. Fang Plover guessed that the army of crystals may have come for this, but they should not be able to stop the chosen ones - the believers of darkness.

In the distance, the light group was flying around Siesta, looking very curious.

Parker found a piece of dragon scale from under the crystal and ran back.

Fang Plover looked at the dragon scales. Half of them were as green as emeralds, and the other half were as black as ink. These are the scales of a green dragon, but not entirely.

At that moment, Fang Plover remembered a name: Toragtus.

He looked at the scales, then at the crystal mountain and the huge magic circle. The scenes that the miners had once described were also tumbling in his heart, and an incredible idea couldn't help but arise in his mind. .

There is indeed something wrong with the death of Tolagtos. What on earth are Luo Lin, the Wanderers, and the Dragon Cult planning?

Is this the ritual spell to resurrect Toragoth?

But is that magic circle filled with time and space and summoning sentences really used for this?

Unfortunately, no more clues can be found on the platform. If anything else was discovered, it was at least confirmed that Nognis's leyline was indeed in this place and had been artificially changed by some means.

But as for the consequences of this change, at least for now, it may not be known.

Everything still needs time to be verified.
