Leaves hang quietly in the forest, arranged side by side, like stars hanging down in the night sky, with countless twinkling dewdrops on them.
The dewdrops reflect the night, and all the people and things recorded in the dew are also reflected. The edge of the dew was glowing with red light, a flame that lit up the sky.
The fire passed through the canopy of the trees, and then thick smoke rose, like ink marks, hanging upside down in the night sky.
The blazing war cannot affect every silent corner in the forest. Within the reflected crystal light, there are two people.
The young man among them seemed very embarrassed. Guland was not the kind of child who had seen the big world. Fortunately, along the way, the strange things he saw expanded his horizons.
Although the scene in this sea of trees is magnificent and magnificent, in terms of thrills and tension, it cannot compare to the battle with the withered tree man.
Guland only looked at Fang Plover in bewilderment as he was busy scattering some strange parts on the ground, as if he was planning to assemble a machine.
"Mr. Ed... Captain," Guland couldn't help but said, "There are only two of us here."
Fang Yu was startled and raised his head, but he suddenly realized something, scratched his hair and said with a smile, "Guland, what are you afraid of?"
In fact, the latter is not that old, he is just a big kid, but his experience as a leader has long since made him lose most of his childishness.
Fang Yu's expression looked very calm, but he replied playfully: "I'm here, don't worry."
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and looked outside the forest - the mountains there reflected the moonlight and seemed peaceful.
"But……"
But Guland knew that it was far from peaceful.
He had seen a large army passing through the valley with his own eyes before. There was still a low buzz in the sky at this moment, and there were countless airships traveling in the clouds.
The entire team's strength is devoted to the northern front. The flames ignited in the sky are the most realistic portrayal of the war, but the flashing and exploding fire only confirms the anxiety and intensity of the battle.
There has been no good news from the north.
What's more, Fang Yu also told him that Shui Wuming, MTT, the Imperials, Taxin Singers and the Blade of Gold would most likely be in a stalemate. Even if they gained the upper hand a little bit, it would still take a long time to establish. victory.
But do they really have that time?
At this moment, another large army is passing through the mountains and forests in the south. They are not too far from the front line in the north. They are only about twenty kilometers away and can be reached in one night——
And that's exactly why they came to this place.
But can the two of them really stop the coalition composed of the Lavender Craftsmen Association, Silver Chain Island and the Hanrena people? Even if the Hanrena people were injured in the battle with the Lotao people, , but two delegations of craftsmen remain almost intact.
After losing the control of the White Tree Society, they headed north, and their strength was almost as strong as the imperial alliance to the north. So what are the two of them doing here?
Is it just to monitor the movements of the Imperial people?
Guland didn't know Fang Plover's plans, but he always felt that his presence here was of no use - others in the delegation regarded him as a trump card.
But this trump card has never shown its edge so far.
This made him feel slightly inferior.
"What are you thinking about, Gu Lande, you have to believe in yourself," Fang Yu seemed to see what he was thinking, and comforted him with a smile, "Everyone elected you, and Senior Sister Luo Wei asked you to come with me. Naturally It’s recognition of your strength.”
"But me."
"You can't trust Ms. Ming, right? She picked you personally."
"No, I don't..." Guland was startled, but suddenly he was startled, "Can I really help?"
Fang Plover nodded.
"Of course, you are an alchemist with a background in potions." He looked at the other person and stopped what he was doing. "Among us, no one can match you in this school of thought, not even a whisper."
Guland was startled again.
He nodded somewhat uncertainly. The young man actually didn't know much about alchemy, but the people from the Artisans Association told him that there was an unimaginable power sleeping within him.
It was that power that gave him an unusual instinct and understanding of alchemy and potions. He had only made up a lot of the most basic things in recent times, but when it came to the field of potions.
Certain knowledge is as if it is innate.
"That's fine," Fang Pliong nodded calmly, "Have you ever heard of the magic solvent—He IX?"
Guland nodded again, "That is a coolant. It is mainly used to prevent the magic core from overheating. But its preparation process is very complicated, and in most cases it is not actually used, so it is only used in Very few places.”
"That's it. The materials have been prepared. You will be responsible for preparing this magic solvent later. My requirements are quite special. I require that it can accommodate as much etheric magic power as possible."
Fang Plover raised his head.
He wears a monocular goggles on his face, and a clockwork fairy is like a star on a lonely night, hanging in the air, continuously showing pictures through the fairy doll 'Ovina-Thumb-Morning Star' 'Transmitted into his field of vision.
Later in the night, the wind started blowing in the forest.
The breeze blew through the sea of trees, forming a layer of ripples on the forest canopy. In the mountain forest, an army was moving forward silently.
From the center of those pitch-black structures, he saw the Imperial people, the Hanrui people, and the Silver Chain Island natives with strange patterns painted on their faces—and their players.
The two sides are very close.
But Fang Yu didn't have much thoughts in his heart.
"Through sex?" The young man couldn't help but be stunned after hearing his words. He could understand the other party's request, but he couldn't imagine where such a magic solvent could be used.
Guland once again turned his attention to the parts in that place, "Is it used for this?"
Guland had never seen such a strange structure. Every part of it seemed to be beyond the records in the textbook, and it even reminded him of the days when he stayed in Istania——
That period was not long. He set out from Yasha and was escorted to Tansnir. He did not see the eldest princess, but he briefly met President Erna. There he saw the craftsmanship of Istanian craftsmen, and even though it was only a brief glimpse, it left a deep impression on him.
The Istanians' attainments in magical constructs have also surpassed other regions and formed a system of their own. Their most important understanding of the constructs does not lie in the mysterious glyphs engraved on the core crystal.
Rather, for the balance of the energy of the overall system, the magic power is evenly distributed into two systems. One is used to drive the flexible structure to operate normally, and the other is like the core of a magic wand grafted onto it. .
Magic craftsmen use that core to simulate magic, allowing the flexible construct to exert power similar to that of a magician. Naturally, the breadth of their understanding of ether and magic is far less than that of real magicians.
But the actual effect is not much inferior.
The machine that Guland saw at this moment, which was gradually taking shape in Fang Plover's hands, seemed to be similar to the masterpiece of the Istanians. He suddenly remembered that this famous Dragon Alchemist had also gone there. Live in your hometown.
A sense of intimacy quietly grew in the young man's heart, which made him muster up his courage and ask: "Mr. Ed... Captain."
"how?"
"Is this a magical device?"
Fang Plover grinned. He patted the curved shell of the strange structure with his hand and answered the question: "Gulland, have you seen the night sky with twinkling stars in your hometown?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he said in a tone that seemed to be reminiscing:
"I have also been to the Silver Sand Sea. In the vast sand sea of Istania, the night sky is particularly beautiful and the stars are twinkling. Many years ago, it was called Erroquilin, and the Numerin elves were there. Planted full of silver ancient trees——"
But then the war came.
The Emerald Star came to the world, and the disaster turned the forest into a white land. After Isolin sank under the abyss, the climate of Corin-Ithurion changed drastically, and the once sea of trees has now turned into a piece of silvery white sand.
There was a hint of melancholy in Fang Yu's tone, as if he was once again recalling the days of traveling in Istania.
"The elves of Numelin have also seen the same magnificent night sky. Through the knowledge of the starry sky, they have created their own alchemy."
"The starry sky we see in the planetary device today is exactly what the elves witnessed thousands of years ago. They passed on this skill to mortals, and they were able to continue on this path. "
"I had a teacher," he continued, "not Lady Hades. That teacher only taught me a skill. That skill wasn't even perfect, but it at least gave me a glimpse of what the Númelin elves had a glimpse of. door."
Guland was confused when he heard this.
At this moment, the audience in the live broadcast room finally found the information they wanted.
"Why is he here?" Jerros was slightly surprised. He silently stared at the dark army that was approaching the two of them, and murmured to himself, "Or is it that Player Ed is planning to take Player Guland with him?" Two people delayed the pace of the army of the Lavender Craftsmen Association. This is indeed a possibility, but..."
Even he himself didn't quite believe this possibility.
What is the strength of the Kaolin people?
The parties in the sea of trees at this moment may not know it clearly, but those of them who have watched everything on the sidelines will not understand that the Grand Craftsman Group has devoted almost all its strength to the battle in the north.
And if Fang Plover is still carrying the Valkyrie construct named Peace Knight at this moment, there may be a chance to delay the progress of the Lavender Artisans Association, but the main construct is currently blocking the Imperial Works. the front of the square.
So what do these two people, the Dragon Alchemist, plan to do to prevent the Imperial army from heading to the northern battlefield to join forces?
"If it's just to spread suspicion," the young partner asked hesitantly, "can we delay it for some time?"
"There is a possibility," Jellos nodded slightly, but there was also a rare uncertainty in his tone - he is a host and event commentator with rich experience. Generally speaking, he rarely makes such mistakes. , "That is the Dragon Alchemist after all, and the people of the Empire will give him some respect. But the battle in the north is too fierce, and if he only uses blindness..."
He didn't say the next words.
But it can also be heard that Jellos is not very optimistic about this possibility.
No matter from which point of view, it is unlikely that two people can stop the coalition composed of three craftsmen's associations. Even if the Hanruina Craftsmen's Association has little fighting power at this moment, it is at least two and a half.
"But Jack, have you noticed?" the young partner asked, "Dragon Soul No. 8 is with them."
"I have noticed this a long time ago," Jerros nodded lightly, "The players of the Grand Craftsmen Association have not used the No. 8 Dragon Soul Ovina in previous battles. I was also surprised by this. , I didn’t expect her to be here.”
"But what's the use of having a dragon soul alone?" After a while, he added, "The goblin doll is just a command center. What he needs now is an army. An army that can compete with the Lavender craftsmen An army that rivals the Association’s coalition forces.”
"Seriously," Jerros continued, "Actually, I think that if the Dragon Alchemist takes this opportunity to go to the central area, he may have a better chance. With that main structure, they can actually compete with the Imperials. A comparison of progress."
But after saying this, Jellos also felt that his hypothesis was a bit too idealistic, not to mention whether one main structure alone could open the door of one of the three main towers in the central area. Even if it could, it would take at least a few days.
How could the Imperial coalition give the Kaolin people such a chance after they had eliminated Guta and other contestants from the Grande Craftsmen Association?
While he was pondering, suddenly the young partner beside him spoke again: "What is that...?"
"what? What?"
Jellos was startled and couldn't help but look in that direction. In the flickering fluorescent screen, Fang Plover was standing up from the ground. He took the box filled with magic solvent from Gu Lande's hand.
At that moment, tens of millions of viewers who were almost paying attention to the game watched helplessly as the Dragon Alchemist slowly loaded the box into the weird construct.
Fang Plover's movements are so careful that the whole picture is filled with a sense of sacred ritual.
It wasn't until he pushed the box into the slide rail that the magic solvent inside could be connected to the grid tube inside the construct, and then he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Assembling this construct was not complicated for him. Even if he hasn't done it hundreds or thousands of times, there are always dozens of times.
Since his trip to Istania, he has become quite familiar with this strange yet familiar magical construct.
Fang Plover narrowed his eyes and stared at his masterpiece - the peculiar structure completed by him actually still maintained the most classic appearance since it first appeared in the sea of sand, but it was slightly different.
It is like a nautilus suspended in mid-air, with silver tentacles floating in mid-air, but there are three fixed, suspended silver modules surrounding it.
That's the biggest difference from what it looked like when it was first born.
But the function of those three flying modules is actually very simple. They are only used to connect with the fairy doll 'Ovina', because the Siren construct is different from any other construct on the market.
Not only is it a masterpiece born from the ideas of Istanian magic craftsmen, but also because its core contains an alchemical circle that is completely different from contemporary alchemy. It is a type of...
A completely different design from today’s flexible construction.
Before this, it had never shown its true appearance to the world.
Even in Fang Yu's view, in the real world, there is still a long way to go before this construct is actually released. However, in this world of sea of trees, the rules set by the occultists give gave him a chance to try boldly.
The future he wants to see.
Since there is such an opportunity, of course he has to verify it here.
"what is that?"
In Ma'er's live broadcast room, people were whispering the same way. But this time, even the most knowledgeable people couldn't help but be speechless. This weird construct was beyond the scope of most people's cognition.
The Seven Seas Brigade's journey in the sand sea is like a mystery. Few people know what they experienced there, what they witnessed, and what they gained. And this is also the first time this structure has been presented to the world in this way.
But someone finally stammered out its origin, "That thing looks... like a type of magical construct," someone said hesitantly, "It looks very much like a simulated spellcasting by the Istanians. The purpose of this training magic formation is to verify the feasibility of different magic formations, but the efficiency is very low..."
"Training construct?"
"Then what's the significance of it appearing here?"
"I just say it looks similar, but that doesn't mean it really is. After all, most constructs come from many different series. This thing may be a more advanced product of the same series, but it may not necessarily be."
"But what's the use of being so advanced?" A question came from the live broadcast room, "It's only one unit."
"No, there's more than one," the first speaker said hesitantly, "Look, that's..."
On the main stage, Jellos and his young partner stood up from their seats at the same time.
Including Wandering Horse's live broadcast room, Wandering Horse looked at the incredible scene happening on the screen with a shocked face. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, leaving a look of shock on everyone's face.
Also staying next to Fang Plover, was the face of the young man named Gu Lande.
"This is impossible!"
Jerry's rude voice reached everyone's ears through the live broadcast room.
The nautilus-like structure was shining with silver light. It stretched out a silver line and was connected to Ovina in the distance - the fairy lady suspended in mid-air, quietly watching the vastness. In the forest, the pupils also shone with cold silver light.
She turned back, as if she had real intelligence, and glanced at Fang Plover not far away in surprise.
Several magic circles are opening up in the sky above the 'Siren' structure, unfolding an extremely beautiful picture——
"Is that so, Mr. Alchemist?" a cold voice asked.
"That's right, Ms. Oweina," Fang Plover nodded, "You only need to control these magic circles to complete my instructions."
"This is……?"
"Yes, just as you thought," Fang Plover nodded gently. He didn't expect that Owina could really communicate with him. That kind of quiet feeling reminded him of Miss Tata more than once. "This is Ancient alchemy circle."
"Mr. Alchemist, I roughly understand what you mean," Ovina hesitated, "What do you mean?"
"In the world outside the sea of trees, I can get a glimpse of that door," Fang Plover replied calmly, "But due to many restrictions, it is difficult for me to achieve it, but in the world of the sea of trees, multiple parallelisms are as natural as breathing …”
He paused for a moment.
"So when the technical threshold of this skill has almost completely disappeared," Fang Pliong said, "I want to take a look at the scenery behind that door."
His voice is no longer limited to his own inner world.
Instead, he seemed to be having a conversation with Guland beside him. The voice was soft and not too high. It just fell in everyone's ears, but it was like thunder:
“People often ask me, what is the meaning of ancient alchemy?”
"Is it just a technology for purifying materials?"
"With such a complicated and clumsy alchemy, what other possibilities does it have besides the abandonment of tools?"
"Actually, I have already had a glimpse of the possibility," Fang Yu said word by word, "I just don't quite understand how to explain it all. The true meaning of the elf creation technique actually lies in..."
It will usher in a new era.
He raised his hand, and strands of silver light extended from his magic gloves, as if they existed in reality. One by one, they were connected to the strange construct suspended in mid-air and to the fluorescent elf lady.
When those magic circles started to flash.
Under people's shocked eyes, a construct that was exactly the same as the Kraken construct, as if it had been 3D printed, was gradually revealing its figure from the air.
It is an alchemical creation.
It's copying itself.
At first it was just a piece of metal, a core, and a frame.
But it soon became full of flesh and blood, just like muscles and blood vessels growing from the bones. From the skeleton, it grew into another magical construct that was exactly the same as the original one.
Then.
More magic circles unfolded.
Like twinkling stars in the darkness, just as he had seen it in the sandy sea of Istania.
But Fang Yu didn't even glance at the scene behind him. His dark eyes only reflected the starlight in the sky, where he watched the craftsmen destined to reach a future.
In the future there lies everything that the elves of Numerin once promised to mortals.
That's since the Great Alchemist Ed -
Another era.
At the beginning of that era, countless red lights were emerging in the peaceful forest sea - Lavender's army had arrived in front of the two of them.
…
I just realized that the number of previous chapters was wrong.
