?The Xiajin Tower is three days away from Nevad. After leaving the goblin residence, we headed west all the way to the western foot of the Holy Bow Peak. We looked up among the mountains at the bottom of the cave deep in the jungle, surrounded by whispers.
, the ancient tower above the green sea stands day after day.
Fang Plover had seen the stone tower with mottled white walls standing alone on the hill a day ago. But after walking for a day and night, they finally arrived at their destination. They saw the ancient stone tower at the bottom of the mountain, covered with vines and green shade.
There are many privet trees growing nearby, and the stone tower was built by the ancient Numerin elves. It is like an ancient glorious witness that has been watching over this land since the days of the Disaster of Isolin.
The long sparkling lake, the red ridges inserted into the green forest, and the dark forest have not changed much compared to the previous era. Only because of the geological changes caused by the catastrophe, the later roads bypassed the bottom of the cave.
The mountains have turned this area into an inaccessible area and a paradise for adventurers.
Accompanying them were the tower keeper, Myrleuthymis, or the 'elf' who called herself Anlothe, and a girl who shocked Fang Pliance. She had a very cold temperament and long black hair.
, wearing glasses and looking like he would not approach strangers.
The tower guard did not accompany them, and looked elusive. No one was often seen during the day, but at night, he always appeared near the camp like a ghost, and told them to pay attention to certain things the next day.
But before morning, it drifted away again.
Most of the others left in Nervad first, just as Odin described. The Queen of Hades originally planned to join them, but because of the urgent call from the guild, she had to change her mind temporarily. However, the night before leaving, the other party specially sent
I gave him a gift and a control glove.
It was the Silver Fire series from Odin's Empire Workshop, which was much better than what he was using now. It increased the role of computing power in control by about 15%. After he upgraded, his computing power also increased to 180.
More than ten, so when using this glove, the computing power can basically exceed the threshold of two hundred.
As for the glove that Luo Yu originally gave him, he modified it and used it as a deputy. Anyway, after the original glove of his deputy was damaged during the Battle of Du Lun, he never had the chance to repair it, so he simply gave it to a second-hand merchant in the Fairy Residence at a cheap price.
Among the remaining people, except Odin, there are only two or three people left. Among them is Leia, but the two of them can be regarded as strangers. Probably because they are both idealists, they can talk quite well.
Come.
Because of the other party’s ID of ‘Holy September’, Fang Pultru only calls the other party Sister Xiaojiu on weekdays.
Leya told him that she would also give him a gift on the day he left the Hall of Thousand Doors.
This made Fang Yu look forward to it.
The day we arrived at the Summer End Tower was exactly half of the Waking Moon. It was the beginning of spring in the Aitalian sense. The locals called it Candlelight Day. It was the last day of winter twilight. People lit candles at home and prayed for the year.
smoothly.
This is just a small solar term. In the wild, adventurers don't bother with this matter, so Fang Plover didn't see any flickering candlelight.
However, when they arrived, it was evening, and they saw burning clouds stretching across the west side of Changhu Lake. A brilliant golden light coated the forest in this area with dark red light.
The scenery in winter is that the mountains at the bottom of the cave separate the north and the south, so in fact, the southern border has already seen the revival of spring. After the ice and snow melted, even the mountains and fields began to show a vibrant scene. Fang Plover only silently counted the days, and
Thirteen days will be the first anniversary of his arrival in Aitaria.
When counting the number of people, Fang Yu found that the girl with a cold temperament who had been traveling with them these days was missing. He couldn't help being a little surprised, and went to ask Odin if there was someone missing.
The latter looked at him a little strangely: "Girl, what girl?"
This answer made Fang Yu break into a cold sweat.
He thought he had bumped into a ghost. The girl had been traveling with them these days. He also saw Leia talking to the girl, but Odin looked unimpressed. But after hearing his description, Odin
A sudden realization.
"What girl?" He touched his forehead and said, "That was for washing hands. He left early."
"ha?"
This answer at least caused a serious psychological shadow on Fang Yu for the next week.
The Hall of Thousand Doors opened early the next morning.
But this night, they first experienced the magic of the Hall of Thousand Doors. Before the rising of the silver moon, the tower guard arrived as scheduled and told them that they could enter the Summer Palace Tower tonight and stay there.
Spend the night in the tower.
Fang Plover was a little hesitant at first. After all, the outer wall of this white tower was mottled, and the bricks and stones were loose in some places. From the outside, it seemed to be old, giving the impression that it was just an ancient relic passed down from the elves of Numelin.
It really makes people wonder how bad the internal conditions are.
However, when he entered it, he was shocked because the scene inside and outside the tower was completely different.
Entering the interior, the first thing that catches Fang Plover's view is a wide and deep hall. Although it looks like no one has been there for many years, it is not dilapidated at all, and is even a bit magnificent. There are rows of tables and chairs, and strips of curtains.
A door stretches to the end of the field of vision.
It's like you push open the door of a small house, but inside it turns out to be a huge auditorium. The dislocation of the space is dazzling. Stepping on the thick hand-woven blanket, Fang Plover looked at the rooms.
After going straight to the door at the end, I realized why this place is called the "Hall of Thousand Doors".
And the sky above the hall is even more eye-catching.
Fang Plover raised his head and realized that there was no vault here. There was a void above his head, with countless bookshelves and books floating in the air, and spiral staircases leading between these huge bookshelves, like an ocean of knowledge.
But the spiral staircase is not connected to the ground, and I don't know how to get there. Occasionally, a bright lightning flashes across the void deep in the bookshelf.
He stared blankly for a while.
This is undoubtedly a demiplane created by magic, and Numelin's powerful ancient magic is obviously more shocking than the rumors say, but how could the Numelin elves who have mastered such powerful power survive a disaster?
Then disappear completely?
There are many historical records that they still appeared in various places after the Disaster of Isolin, but soon after that, traces of this civilization were completely lost.
Only countless mysteries remain in Etalia today.
The tower guard told them not to wander around in the hall. Before the Hall of Thousand Doors truly opened, the infinite space leading to behind the doors would be impossible to escape from the maze of time and space once entered.
Fang Plover had a similar experience in Dolifen, so of course he didn't dare to make the same mistake.
What's more, it was still a dream, and this was still real.
In addition, Odin's words before also prevented him from catching his breath for a long time, and he still looks a little dazed until now.
Except for him, it was not the first time for anyone else to come to this place, so it was not surprising. Everyone chose a place and ate dinner. The plates on the tables and benches would automatically change as soon as they sat on them.
Produce rich food.
Then they each rested.
The gate opening ceremony will be held at ten o'clock the next morning.
When morning came, the light in the hall also became brighter, but I didn't know where the light came from. Fang Plover looked up and saw that there were still countless bookshelves above his head, spiral staircases, and the end of the void where lightning was churning behind him.
.
Others woke up one after another, and the tower guard appeared for the first time in the daytime. He was wearing a silver robe and led them deeper into the hall like a ghost.
Entering the depths of the hall, Fang Yu discovered that there was a circular square, surrounded by densely packed doors up and down, almost giving people trypophobia. The tower guard walked towards the center of the square without saying a word and raised his hand.
.
Suddenly, streaks of silver light shot out from the ground, and these lights converged to form a huge pattern.
But because the square was so huge, Fang Yu couldn't see clearly what the pattern was even though he was in it. Someone just patted him on the shoulder from behind and said, "Go ahead, don't be too embarrassed!"
Fang Plover didn't need to look back to know that it was Odin.
Anyway, what this person says will never make people happy.
He took a gentle breath, then nodded and walked forward, but at this moment Leya also came out from the side and took out a wrapped gift and handed it to him: "Be careful and work harder.
Don't give up!" Fang Yu took the gift somewhat unexpectedly and took it heavily.
He tore open the package and discovered that it was actually a book called "Travel Notes of Aitalia". "I like this book very much," Leya said then: "Its author is unknown, but it is very special.
Very knowledgeable and beautifully written.”
Fang Yu didn't know what to say for a while.
Most of the gifts given to him by others were equipment, medicines and the like. But this lady, the group leader, was the only one who unexpectedly gave him a book, and judging from her appearance, she seemed to really cherish the book. He
I never thought for a moment that Miss Leya was actually a literary girl.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he put the book away.
This bizarre world is the driving force that attracts them to this land. Although many years have passed, people's hearts will change to some extent, but in the end, in everyone's heart, the original dream is still hidden.
Miss Leya's book may be a portrayal of her ideals back then.
And this is what he is pursuing.
He put away the book and thanked the other party, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw An Luoser waving to him from a distance. Fang Plover did not dare to neglect, and after saying goodbye to Leya quickly, he walked towards the center of the square.
Go.
When he came to the tower guard, Anlose spoke:
"Choose a door."
"What should we do next?" This time, Fang Yu planned to ask clearly first.
"You don't have to worry about it," Anloser replied: "When you pass the first door, you will understand what to do."
Fang Yu looked at the densely packed doors up and down and asked, "Can any door be used?"
"It's best to go in through the green door first."
Only then did Fang Plover see that the different doors were divided into three colors: red, green and blue. He nodded and walked towards the small green door at the bottom. Before he could get closer, he heard a voice from
came from my heart:
"The green door symbolizes knowledge."
"The blue door symbolizes challenge."
"The red door symbolizes danger and opportunity."
That was Anlose's voice, and with this voice, the door opened in front.
Fang Yu was startled, but paused and found that the other party did not seem to notice Miss Tata, and then he felt relieved. He couldn't help but think of the other soul in his body. Since leaving the Ash Mountain Forest, that thing has
There has been no movement for a long time.
The thought flashed across my mind.
The green wooden door in front was slowly opening. There was no view of what was going on inside the house behind the door, only a huge whirlpool that seemed to block everything.
Fang Plover looked at this scene and hesitated for a moment. But the tower guard's voice came again: "Don't be afraid." The latter took a gentle breath, then nodded and stepped in.
As soon as you enter the door, the scenery in front of you changes.
First of all, when the previous magic circle was activated, the buzzing in his ears disappeared, and the room seemed to be isolated from the outside world. It was quiet. There seemed to be light in the room. He opened his eyes and was startled that it was a small
In the study room, there is a desk, scrolls spread out on the table, and bookshelves lined up on both sides. Books of all sizes are scattered on the floor of the narrow room, leading to a floor-to-ceiling window at the end.
The light flows in from the window, soft, like spring sunshine.
In front of the desk, there is a huge open book, displayed on a wooden brass base, half as tall as him. The room is brightly lit, and there are some strange symbols written on the pages of the open book, and a huge one is painted on one side.
Pattern talisman case.
Ordinary people might be a little confused when they see these mysterious symbols and patterns. But in Fang Yu's eyes, these things couldn't be simpler. To be precise, they are the foundation of alchemists.
Rune single characters, and single array.
A single formation is an alchemy formation with only one function.
It is composed of single runes and mobilizes the flow of ether in one direction. It is the most basic unit of alchemy.
The single formation is an ancient product of the era when alchemy was born. Nowadays, almost all alchemical formations are compound formations. The single formation has already existed in the history books in Aitaria. But to this day, it is still
A required course for every alchemist apprentice.
Fang Yu looked at this big book and couldn't help but think of his study experience in Kapka. It was not that long ago, as if it was yesterday.
However, he didn't quite understand the purpose of this book appearing here. Looking around the room, it was crowded and there seemed to be no other exits. Only when he raised his head did he realize that the ceiling of the room was quite high.
And in that place, there was actually a small green door.
The exit is there.
How does he get up there?
Use the twinkling ability of the Energizer? However, Fang Yu tried it and found that he could not summon his own construct in this mysterious space. Even when he took out the clockwork fairy hanging on his belt, he could not produce it with its core crystal.
Any contact.
This space seems to have the ability to isolate the ether.
Fang Yu thought for a while and felt that this trial might not be that simple. If an angel could take him up there, wouldn't it be easier to get in through the flying boots? He then began to look at the surrounding environment carefully, and then he discovered
Some details.
There are some red gold plates scattered on the floor.
And red gold is a good conductor of ether.
At the same time, he is very familiar with this kind of cheap material, because it is something that every alchemist will come into contact with during their apprenticeship, and they must handle it when they practice carving formations for the first time.
Looking at the big book and then at these red gold plates, Fang Yu suddenly understood what he was being asked to do here, which was to let him carve formations.
But what's the difficulty?
After all, he is no longer an apprentice. At that time, if he wanted to carve a single formation, he would even need to use chisels and hammers to tap on the gold plate to carve out the formation seals stroke by stroke. The alchemy formation is a very rigorous thing.
If there is any mistake, the magic circle will be scrapped.
But now, he just needs to pick up the gold plate, and with a flash of thought, he connects every necessary structural point, and the magic circle in his hand is formed naturally. Even a single formation is no challenge to him at all.
As soon as the engraving on the gold plate was formed, it immediately took off its hands and flew out, forming a staircase in the room.
At this moment, the big book also turned a page, but there was still a single formation on it. When Fang Yu saw this scene, he completely understood that this room was the basis for testing the alchemist's apprentice, depicting alchemy.
Magic circle.
He looked at the height of the ceiling. It seemed that there were about seventy or eighty steps to reach it, and this number was almost exactly the total number of single formations invented by alchemists since the days of Numelin.
Now that he understood the principle, Fang Plover stopped wasting time and started laying the steps step by step.
The big book kept turning pages over and over, but on the seventeenth page, Fang Plover experienced failure for the first time. Probably due to a slight distraction, his accuracy in depicting the magic circle this time was about 90%.
.
Of course, this accuracy is high enough, because generally speaking, an accuracy of more than 70% is required to form an array, but even so, when he formed an array, the gold plate in his hand still did not respond at all.
Fang Yu was slightly startled, and subconsciously tried several times, each time increasing the accuracy step by step until it reached 97%, before the red gold plate flew out from his hand, forming the next step. Fang Yu couldn't help but gasped when he saw this scene.
After a breath of air-conditioning, I realized the power of this place.
It actually requires the formation accuracy to be at least ninety-seven in order to pass the test.
After studying the basic knowledge in Du Lun, Fang Pliance is no longer the novice he was before, and has no basic concept of the alchemist's accuracy. Of course, he now knows what 97% accuracy means.
This means that at least two-thirds of the craftsmen's qualifications will be eliminated, because it is almost impossible for them to achieve this level.
This is just the first door.
Fang Yu couldn't help but raise his head, took a deep look at the door on the ceiling, and realized for the first time the extraordinary nature of this Thousand Doors Hall.
