Chapter 62: The Underground Puzzle

 A new type of construct? Does it come from ancient Numelin alchemy? Or does it come from some inheritance of the Dark Saints? Somehow, a word naturally emerged in Fang Plover's mind——

Abyssal Sea. But according to Master Anluoser, the Abyssal Sea Documents inheritance is also the inheritance of the Numelin elves. Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized that he had ignored a blind spot all this time - if the Abyssal Sea Documents came from

The inheritance of Numelin, then why do people keep it secret? Even though knowledge is determined by the hands of those who master it, this statement itself admits that the origin of the Abyssal Sea Documents does not seem to be so simple. What exactly is the Abyssal Sea Documents? What are those from the Abyssal Sea Documents?

What do the words on the stone tablets from the Numelin era describe? Fang Plover couldn't help but think of the manuscripts recorded by Princess Rupert's biological mother, the princess during her lifetime - it was a pity that the information he got from those messy notes

Not much. But this did not prevent him from thinking about the series of disputes surrounding that manuscript, and everyone involved - the stars of dawn ten years ago, scholars, and the twelve remaining people.

People with different code names, even the Super Competitive Alliance, Stargate Port, Blind Followers, Wandering Alchemist and 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 are so abrupt.

Suddenly appeared in the illusion that represented the inheritance of Numelin alchemy. But if so, what message did the creator of the illusion convey to the later generations? What does this kind of construction that disappears under the dust of history mean?

Is this a kind of technological inheritance, or does it have a deeper meaning?

Fang Plover looked at the wreckage in his hands. Because it appeared in this place, it was difficult not to associate it with him. Luo Lin had shown them once, and this was the second time. The dark believers seemed to have mastered these structures with strange origins, but

Technology has always been traceable, and faults will not occur out of thin air. Where did the dark believers obtain such a technology?

Is it also a Yuanhai document?

It is possible, which can explain why people's attitude toward Yuan Haiwen has changed. If we use this knowledge as a label for dark believers, then conversely, we can also use the same label to define who has it.

Possibly a Dark Disciple.

It's just that Fang Yu sorted out the knowledge he had about Yuanhai documents - whether it was multiple parallelism or surplus, it seemed to have no connection with these constructs. Or should we say that part of the knowledge he had, compared to Yuanhai

Is it just scratching the surface in terms of paperwork? Judging from the daunting manuscript, this does not seem impossible.

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

, and threw it hard against the wall nearby.

The wreckage was smashed to pieces on the wall, but the remaining parts were still twisting on the ground, like a dying snake. Fang Yu looked at this scene in shock. He had never encountered such a situation.

How does something 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 Yu interrupted the Papalar man who was about to give a long speech and frowned at the thing. He originally planned to take it out for inspection, but it seemed that safety was a big problem. But he still didn't understand it.

How did it move? After thinking about it for a moment, 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 I have to see."

The deeper they went along the rugged road, the more and more debris appeared on the ground. Another kind of debris also appeared - the body of a crystallized beast. The three of them carefully walked around among the various debris, Parker

I couldn't help but gasped: "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 complete corpse of that mysterious construct. When the shadow of the thing appeared at the end of the torch light, Parker couldn't help but take a breath of air. What kind of thing was that?

Creatures - people like to design constructs in their own image, it seems to be a natural instinct. The remaining types of constructs mostly imitate certain animals, because every animal that exists today is

The most successful masterpiece of nature, bionics is also one of the most practical sciences. But the metal anomaly in front of me has almost no fixed shape. Its upper body is swollen, its lower body is slender, and the metal appendages wrapped around it are like

It was like twisted intestines flowing across the ground. It also had two of the largest arms, which were also drooping 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 Yu was also a little shocked. But he was an alchemist after all, and no matter how ugly this thing was, it was 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 has some similarities with this thing.

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 worm was motionless, like a pile of silent twisted metal fragments piled on the ground.

Fang Plover waited for a while, until the light of the torches 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 Papalar's collar and pulled him over. Papalar yelled:

"I'm warning you, don't drag me like a flour bag. 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 their previous experience, Fang Plover also stopped thinking about studying it. If this thing moved, it would be as powerful as the hundred-armed giant in Greek mythology. They

Three people couldn't stop it. But fortunately, there was no danger in the end. The thing was motionless and silent as usual. This made Fang Pliong think about what made the wreckage move? Just because it felt there was something.

How close is a stranger? But how close is close? Is it necessary to have physical contact? These are the things he is confused about, but it is a pity that he has no chance to experiment.

After passing through the corpse of the worm, Fang Plover saw the body of a tall crystallized beast leaning against the cliff. He recognized this thing - the disorder monitor. In the battle three days ago, they finally lost one of the disorder.

The supervisor couldn't stay either. But at this moment, this behemoth fell on this place. Fang Yu felt slightly palpitated. How strong are the constructs outside?

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

The text is the text of the ancient Sinsas 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 against each other on the plain, meteorites rolled down, 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 was 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, and the earth was vast and boundless. But no matter how Fang Plover looked at it, those smaller stars looked like the ones he had seen in the illusion of the tower - pitch black stars.

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 Plover saw this, he was 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, and 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 opened wide. 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 Agenor - 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 had 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 already 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 was extinguished, and the plover was replaced with another one. The road behind was a bit the same, with the wreckage left by the battle, the relics of the Sinsas era, and the wall carvings, it was like walking in the corridor of time, but there was nothing new.

.Suddenly, the space in front of the three people suddenly opened up, and they entered a deep circular gorge. An arched stone bridge was connected to a rock platform far ahead. Similar shapes, they also

I have seen it underground on Fenris Island. The Sinthas snake people seem to be keen on building such a building in the abyss - this closed circular canyon, which is the last section of this long road - the stone platform.

It is circular in shape and surrounded by a circle of tall stone pillars.

Fang Yu looked in that direction. When he led the 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 same way.

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

Fang Yu 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 not holding the torch in his hand. The swaying flame seemed to be unable to produce any light. He looked at the weak flame, like

Attracted by an invisible force, it no longer moves logically, but strangely tilts to one side.

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

A green light shone from his coat. The shining light seemed to drive away all the darkness in an instant, and flowed into his heart like a warm current. The fear in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Without a trace, Fang Plover seemed to suddenly feel that he had regained control of his body.

He reacted suddenly, but immediately felt that he was being pulled by someone. It was the maid lady. The maid lady grabbed him and rushed across the stone bridge. The Papalar man moved his short legs tightly.

Then, 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 whole 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 Yu's whole body was already soaked as if he had been fished out of water. In just a short moment, he broke 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 was also lying 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. Anlosser.

The other piece was an ordinary piece of dead wood.

That was the Heart of the World Tree sent to them by Muenyarit. 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 in that place, but why didn't it come down and kill them? Fang Yu 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 Yu also looked at this thing with a little curiosity, but it was indeed just a ball of light with nothing inside. He hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to touch the ball of light, but the latter retreated slightly and did not

Let him touch it.

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and even their fear of the crystal faded a little. What is this? A light spirit? Some kind of elemental creature? A spiritual 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, so there seems to be nothing strange about it.

Fang Yu then tried to let go of his previous fear and began to explore the things on this platform. No matter what the crystal was going to do to them, now that they were in this place, even if they risked losing their lives, they had to find out what was going on here.

What's the secret?

This stone platform standing on a 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 crystallized 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 this battle may have an ultimate winner.

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 they obviously did not include the one in front of them.

Its composition is full of peculiarities. It has no mobilizing elements and does not contain spell components. It has a lot of descriptions about time and space - a teleportation array? But it doesn't look like it. Fang Plover has never seen one that doesn't even provide coordinates.

Teleportation array. Moreover, there are a large number of specious spells on this array.

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 poured out of the magic circle in an instant.

Is this a summoning circle? But what did they summon that required mobilizing the power of the entire underground Aether River in Nognis?

While he was thinking, something Parker found in 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 purpose, but they should not be able to stop the chosen ones - the believers of darkness in the end.

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 were the scales of a green dragon, but not all of them.

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 could not 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 is found, it is at least confirmed that Nognis's leyline is indeed in this place and has 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.
