Act 437: The Sea of Angry, Storm Converges IV(1/3)
"Is this..." Dalier's voice was soft and a little surprised. The fluorescent light of the crystal made her palm white, and the dispersed light spread on the thick stone wall.
Paints that do not fade with time depict such a scene on the stone walls. The huge dark meteorite hangs alone in the air, almost occupying most of the paintings of the murals, full of oppression. Below the meteorite is the empire of the city-state, the crowd, the snake people, and some inconspicuous details - such as an obelisk.
Everyone turned around and looked at Audice. The goddess shook her head, "The history of the Cinsas era is covered in dust. No one knows what happened in that era. The pirate king once passed by here, and there was a secret passage under the corridor behind the stone wall, which could lead to that underground kingdom."
"Is there something that God doesn't know?" Tianlan couldn't help asking.
Odice looked at her, "Gods also have them. They are not truly omniscient and omnipotent. The elves call the stars in the sky Olin. The morning stars of the saints are on them, representing the manifestation of a certain law in this world, but outside that realm, they will actually die and are afraid of eternal time."
Tianlan seemed to understand it. But behind her, Fang Yu also took out a luminous magic crystal and raised it up and approached it. But the light reflected the details on the wall. Alisa suddenly discovered something: "Look," Miss Nightingale pointed to the stone wall and suddenly spoke: "What seems to be in the meteorite?"
"That is the black throne," Fang Zhu said, "'The burning throne fell from the sky and opened the era of disputes between the Snake Man Empire in the Census. The seven dynasties and the countries of all sizes conquered each other, burning out the blood of man and gods of the Sun Age'. This is a well-known metaphor. It is generally believed that the arrival of the first disaster star destroyed that abundant age and caused the seven Snake Man Kingdoms in Census to fall apart."
Inside the black meteorite on the mural is a sleeping dragon. It curled up in its body, half closed its pupils, revealing a trace of golden fire. "But it looks more like a dragon," Parker whispered.
"The dragon is the image of power," Jita opened her mouth at this moment. She looked up at everything on the mural and explained in a low voice, "It symbolizes some kind of authority. After the black misfortune star fell, this authority was divided into seven, knowledge, elements, life and death, ether (and three lost titles). The seven powers represent seven thrones. The snake people of Cinthus fought for these forces, and hundreds of years of turmoil caused the era of Cinthus to decline."
"Do you think this is like this now, right now, just like that moment?" Dalier suddenly spoke, "Cucui also left power. Aoshu people are not making up their ideas? Power may be a conspiracy, which makes the world of mortals unable to unite."
"Even if there is no greenness," the maid standing beside Silmide spoke rarely, his voice cold, "The world of mortals cannot be united."
Cui Xisi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but remain silent after hearing the conversation between the two.
"But look at the snake people below, they are kneeling down to the sky and raising their hands. Where did I see such a posture? It is a ritual," Jita stared at the mural on the stone wall and said, "There are the seven minarets... Their directions should have meaning. This is a summoning ceremony. The first disaster star was summoned by the snake people?"
"How is this possible?" Miss Catman widened her eyes. The Star of Disaster, as it got its name, was the root of all disasters in Aitalia. It destroyed all eras, from the arrival of the first Star of Disaster to the greek, and the two most powerful empires were destroyed.
Several continents also sank under the sea of abyss.
The lizards in the rainforest were extremely chasing the era of the snake people. Although they had existed as slaves in the Cinsas Empire, the lizards admired the saints of the Sun and established a brilliant civilization after the collapse of the Cinsas era.
They believed that the 'Holy' (the Gods of the Sun Age) had formulated the laws of the stars and sacrificed themselves to resist the invasion of the Black Throne. They had resisted the invasion of darkness outside the world, but ultimately failed.
However, the saints left a prophecy, which predicted the ultimate victory over the Star of the Aitalia world. This prophecy is divided into several parts and is widely circulated in the Sky Sea World. Prophecy about the Sea of Light, the Blessings of Darkness and the Seven Obelisks are part of it.
These ancient prophecy of mortals are not believed in, but some of them are still deeply rooted in people's hearts. At least the death of the saints of the Sun Age is certain - the founder of the Temple of Stars, the king of the Gods of Orin, and the Sun God Oli are the survivors of the previous era.
But the Lord of Light reduced his mouth to the previous era three times, and the God of the Sun actually experienced a rebirth. It was rumored that it returned from the exhausted sea of light and reawakened the starry sky and the power of the laws of Aitalia - rebuilding order again.
After that, the era of the Noumerlin elves was established. The elves advocated the starry sky, and astronomy was extremely prosperous, and continued to this day. The tower of stars and moons and astrology were the retention of the previous era.
The Snake Man is the surrogate of the "Sages". They fought against the dark disaster under the guidance of the "Sages" until the fall of the first era, and the Snake Man's empire was also trapped in a battle of authority because of the loss of guidance until the fall of civilization.
But if the mural is true, then at least one of it is lying with this past history. If the first disaster star is really summoned by the snake people, then they are the starters of the disaster of Aitalia.
The hall was silent for a moment, leaving only a subtle sound of dripping water.
Everyone was a little silent, not sure if the pirate king had seen this mural and thoughts, or if he had not paid attention to it at all, he left the place and went deeper into the underground.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Miss Casting Adni stood beside everyone, looking up at the crystal light reflected long shadows between the stone pillars in the hall. Those shadows lingered between the stone walls like minions and fell on the mural. They couldn't help but think of their father's affairs and fell into silence.
"Wait, is this... possible?" The Paparal people couldn't help asking.
"...This is indeed impossible," Alissa whispered: "This can also explain why the Snake Man Empire fell apart because of the battle for the 'Seven Thrones'. If that power was summoned by them... it makes sense."
She looked at Cui Xisi on the side.
The story of the Seven Kings Rebellion is well-known in Aitalia, but the origin power represented by the seven thrones was told by the lady in person. Obviously, the empire knew more about the secrets above.
Miss Nightingale couldn't help but think of the war that was about to break out into the rainforest.
"Don't look at me," Cui Xisi came to her senses and shook her head and said, "Those different origin forces contain some kind of blessing, just like elemental blessings. The empire is cultivating potential powers to escape from this world one day. But I don't know more about things, including what you said...the green power..."
"Escape from this world?" Dalier asked.
"The astrology predicted that the demise of Aitalia has become inevitable, and the end of the world is approaching, and the empire must seek means of escape." Cui Xisi hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth.
She understood that this was not a secret to these people.
But the effect of an open secret being announced is completely different, and even Tianlan was a little surprised: "Is there no other way?" She asked quickly: "Even the empire is just thinking about escaping? But how do they plan to escape? The entire empire has a population of hundreds of millions."
"Maybe it's the rise of Sintaan," Fang Rong replied: "Even if it's not all, at least part of it. The Empire has long been strengthening the floating continent through magic circles all over the country, and their plan should be only a few steps away."
Cui Xisi looked at them in surprise, "So you already know...?"
"Originally, only a part of it," Fang Ling said, "but not knowing the details, such as how the empire intends to rise to Sintaan, and most importantly, where to escape?"
If the sea of clouds itself would be burned to ashes.
So, what's the point of even lifting Cinta'an into the air?
But at this moment, he looked at the seven minarets on the mural and knew something in his heart: "But now, I probably already know..."
The seven minarets are the secret to opening the "door". There are rumors that through them and the four sacred objects, you can lead to the Third World, but whether it is the Third World or a brand new world, the "door" seems to imply a space channel.
It is impossible for Cintaan to go through the World Level to go to the Second World, and the Second World may also be affected on the day the Star of Disaster will fall. If the entire Aitalia falls, then the Second World is likely to be downgraded.
But the Imperials seemed to believe that the seven minarets could take them to a new world, or in other words, did the four sacred objects left by the Noumerlin elves for the world of mortals themselves contain any implicit meaning?
Going further, after repelling Cangcui, the Nomerlin elves left Aitalia with their clans, but their footprints never appeared in the Second World. Where did the Nomerlin elves go?
Have they already left a way to escape for the world?
In this way, it seems that it is understandable that the Super Athletic League, different countries, so many guilds and Xingmen Port have dispatched such personnel to return from the Second World to find the whereabouts of the seven minarets.
Fang Yu sorted out his thoughts and then told them one by one.
Cui Xisi was surprised at first, then turned to silence, and finally couldn't help but look shocked: "...so you injected the flow of magic into the great crystal vein from the empire,... and inferred that the empire's earth elemental realm at the lower level of Guyhua Sintaan...?"
She was a little silenced for a moment: "...but...but, even if there are many possibilities, how can you guess accurately how the etheric flow through Cintaan was sorted out...?"
"After all... you haven't entered the crystal vein of the Aoshu Craftsmen Association..."
"There are some of the guesses here," Fang Rong replied, "but I can first make the assumption that the crystal vein will eventually be reflected on the sea of ether. Of course, mortals cannot see the boundless vast sea of magic, but they can understand what happened to it through some details."
"... But I came to investigate the crystal mesh of the empire, so I learned more about this information. There has been more than once subsidence in Nortspitts underground, which is actually caused by changes in the groundwater level. Later, as far as I know, this situation is not only Nortspitts, but of course, more importantly... the Guy crystal reserves on all air and lands are declining, but only the Guy index of Cintaan is rising..."
"This is very consistent with the overview of the mesh theory in the introduction to ether. The Empire was intercepting one of the major crystal mesh veins across Etaria. The incident that happened in Elpahin was just one of the small episodes. To be precise, it was the Empire that could not suppress a node in the plan, which led to them having to open a portal in the northern border of Kaurin-Ishurien in advance-"
He paused for a moment.
"This accident caused the Empire to abandon at least three crystal towers in the crystal net vein, which delayed their planning process, but also verified part of the feasibility, that is, the door of space can indeed be opened."
Fang Zhu looked up at everything on the mural.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The inference involves at least two secrets. At present, he is not sure what kind of agreement the magic emperor and the filmmaker reached. Whether the "door" opened above Elpaxin is a preview, not just the preview of the "filmmaker" that can return to this world again.
More importantly, the rehearsal ‘door’ itself can be given meaning.
If the door to another world can indeed be reached...
After hearing him, Cui Xisi was silent for a while before looking at Fang Yu and suddenly spoke: "They all said that you will become one of the most outstanding alchemists of this era. I was not convinced in the past, but now I may understand it a little..."
"them?"
"The people of the Empire Workshop, those top 'masters', built the upper class of Oshu alchemy, even Amashit Fontaine, also think so," Cui Xisi downplayed: "Of course, there are more alchemists made by masters, the King of Gray, the Queen of the Constructs, and the Alchemists who have made the most of the S-League, who are not outstanding?"
"But they don't think so. You should know that the indigenous people actually don't really appreciate crash courses like ours, because everything about us is hiding from our system, and we are nothing without the system," Cui Xisi looked at him, "but you are different."
If it were her, she would never be able to analyze what the imperial people were doing from these clues. It has nothing to do with intelligence or keen observation, but with understanding of the essence of the ether.
The abilities of the candidates all come from the system, but the system will only give them abilities, but will not tell them where this ability comes from. When they leave this world, the equivalent exchange is declared complete.
Star Gate retracts its power, and they obtain equivalent information.
She couldn't help but think of rumors from the outside world that this Dragon Alchemist was more like a genius trained by the military.
But Cui Xisi was sure at this moment that his regiment commander was definitely not from the white gloves from Xingmen Port in the third division. Some things were not going deep into even the military's callers. What they needed were qualified soldiers.
Not a scholar who studies it—
Fang Yu was also a little surprised. He had met with the great alchemist of the empire twice and was not pleasant. He even thought that the empire's alchemy world was just like this. But unexpectedly, the other party actually commented on him in private.
However, his understanding of ether theory came from his study period with Kapka. Because of his lack of systematic help, he had to start from the most basic things. Those things became interested in them and have not yet been put down.
However, with the help of Miss Tata, he seemed to have a deeper understanding of the true face of the Sea of Ether than ordinary people. Those abstract concepts exist in the space he imagined, as if they were substance.
Just like his two teachers, An Luoshe and the president of the Southern Alchemist Association, he was very sensitive to the nature of ether and was a natural alchemist.
But after all, everyone's purpose was for the pirate king's treasure house, or for the lost ether node. After no more clues were found in the murals a few eras ago, the somewhat impatient Paparal people quickly turned their attention to the corridor behind.
He walked to that place, pushed open the loose stone door, and said to everyone, "I said, everyone, should we continue to move forward?"
He continued: "Those guys with slit tongues won't come back to life and tell us what happened thousands or tens of thousands of years ago. Unless they really buried some treasures underneath it, it seems that there is no point in us here?"
These words reminded the others, and everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Audice on one side.
Except for the beginning, the goddess did not participate in the discussion, but she only waited silently on the side without urging her. At this moment, she just nodded slightly in the face of everyone's inquiries.
From that corridor, you can lead to a vast underground world, but before Fang Yu left with the others, he couldn't help but lift the glowing crystal and walked closer to the stone wall two steps, and finally took a look at the mural on the wall.
His eyes fell on the meteorites pointed to by the seven minarets. The dark misfortune star was like an open door. The vortex led to an endless unknown world, the world behind the "door", the world where the Noumerlin elves went...
Is it really as people wish?
His eyes finally stopped on the curled dragon, like burning black flames, standing sharply, with his wings gathered and his tail closed into a cocoon pattern. A trace of golden flames appeared under the half-closed eyelids, which made him feel a familiar feeling.
But that was not Nico Polas, nor the Dragon King Livgard, or even different from any dark dragon he had ever seen, but it made him feel a little intimate.
That feeling seemed to have pulled away from his mind in an instant, causing him to fall into a vortex of panic, falling deeper and deeper in the dark world, as if he was about to sink into a bottomless abyss.
It was not until he held him with one hand that Fang Yu came back to his senses in horror, and found that the goddess was looking at him with concern: "Is it okay?"
Fang Yu burst into cold sweat and shook his head: "That's it?"
To be continued...
