When Fang Piao walked into the hall, he saw a man wearing an alchemist's coat with his back to him, blocking the light.
He always felt that the other person looked familiar, but there was no sound in the entire hall, which attracted his attention. He looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him and that person at the moment. Fang Plover returned his head.
Watch these patrolling guards look at one person at a time.
There was both a hint of reverence and a hint of fear in his eyes.
The man was admiring a painting. When he heard a noise behind him, he turned around and looked at Fang Plover, and then a smile appeared on his face. "We meet again," Friston laughed and said, "I don't know if Ai
Mr. De, if you still remember me, please introduce yourself, my name is Friston J. Helleye."
"Ah, it's you!" Even after such a long period of time, Fang Yu couldn't help but blurt out when he saw this person. When they were at the Ayin Block Airport a month ago, he and Soul Fingerprint had an encounter with this person.
The man met once, and the other person praised him endlessly, which left a deep impression on him.
Seeing each other again now, the situation of that day naturally came to mind. But Fang Yu suddenly stopped, and the name that the other party introduced himself gave him a strong sense of familiarity - even though he didn't know anything about the Mobius Craftsmen Association, he had been exposed to it every day these days.
He should have seen this name frequently in the newspapers they brought.
Friston-J-Herreyer.
There are too many legends about this name, Sky Knight, Great Craftsman, owner of the three major dragon souls of the empire, 'Saints of Solar', leader of the 'Mobius' craftsmen, president of the Oshu Craftsmen Association,
The Imperial Lord, the contemporary helmsman of the Imperial Workshop.
He is also the terminator of the Gray Catastrophe, the recipient of the title of honorary bachelor of the Silver Tower, a living legend, the first among the three great alchemists in the empire, and the youngest recipient of the title of great alchemist in the future empire.
It is not even his own regret that he has not yet become the Great Alchemist, but respect for the title itself. He has put in too much effort in the position of president of the Oshu Artisans Association, otherwise the star of the sage would have been lit up long ago.
.
It is for this reason that the Oshurs revere him. He is the initiator and initiator of the alchemical reform of the Oshurs since Stuart IV, and he is also the persistent executor and supervisor. With him, the alchemy of the empire
The reform was so successful.
Because of this, the cunning lord of the empire's coveting of this reputation and interests seemed somewhat unfair and dismissive to Fang Pliance.
But for the empire, the really important reason is that His Majesty the new emperor has an ambiguous attitude towards this, which more or less makes outsiders wonder a little more.
Of course Fang Plover doesn't know anything about the Mobius Craftsmen Guild.
Therefore, he was completely stunned the moment he heard the name. Although he had already met a great alchemist, the great alchemist would not take the initiative to see him. Fang Yu pointed at the other person with a stutter:
"you you……?"
The middle-aged man in front of him is actually much older than his appearance suggests. He is almost a contemporary of Stuart IV, and his fame can be traced back to almost fifty years ago.
, however this is the power of the natural dragon soul.
The miraculous features of the empire's three dragon souls are far beyond what words can describe, and the rumors about them outside are far more exaggerated than imagined.
"Surprised?" Friston smiled, shook his head and said in relief, "No need to, you are the guest and I am the host. As a player in the Continental League, it is a matter of time for the guest to meet the host. It's just that I am usually too
I'm busy, I just returned to Ayinbrok recently, but I didn't want to be disrespectful to the guests."
But that's not what surprised Fang Yu.
"...What you...said at the airport...?"
Friston glanced at the young man with admiration, "It seems you understand. As an advocate and initiator of the reform of alchemy in the empire, the most important thing to me is that alchemy goes further and explores
Entering unknown territory, rather than being complacent, is also my original intention of implementing reforms. I was originally confused about Myleuthemis choosing such a student, but after listening to your words, I have some understanding of his original intention.
It’s—”
"Milleuthymis..." Surprises came one after another, making Fang Pliong's mind a little confused for a moment, "Do you know Mr. Anloser?"
"Ah, that is indeed his human name," Friston replied, "The master of Holy Bow Peak, I have met him several times, but there are many people on this continent who know him, and I only
It's just one of them. It's just that I made an agreement with him. You are his student, so it should be related to this agreement."
Fang Yu raised his head and looked at the other party in confusion.
"If you are approved by him, then you should have been to the Hall of Thousand Doors." Friston did not ask Fang Plion about the details of the Hall of Thousand Doors in Xia Jin Tower, but continued, "When you come to the empire, you should
You came here for the Hall of Thousand Doors and the Twin Towers Trial. It was not that easy for you to gain my approval, but for the sake of your words, I am willing to give Anlose face and regard you as
I’m half a student—”
Fang Yu suddenly realized the meaning of the other party's words: "President Friston, are you...?"
Friston nodded, "You guessed it right, although I am busy with work and rarely go to Apenand, which is different from your teacher who is the master of Holy Bow Peak. But you guessed it right, Apenand
The keeper of the Winter Solstice Tower is me."
Fang Plover was greatly surprised.
The rumors of the Tower of Seasons are not widely spread in Aitaria, and even among the craftsmen, only a small number of people know about it. When he was in Nevader, he only learned about it through Odin and the top executives of the major guilds.
to this matter.
Later, Anloser told him in detail about the Tower of Winter Solstice and the Tower of Spring Dawn, but he did not tell him who the guardians of these two spiers were.
Anrothe's real name is Milleuthymis, and he is a cloud dragon. He is almost in a semi-reclusive state in the southern border. Except for Ander Uriel and a few senior members of the Elfendor Council, almost no one cares about this goblin.
The owner of the residence knows something.
The guardian of Xia Jin Tower is just such a hidden dragon.
Fang Yu reasonably guessed that the situation of the tower keepers of the Winter Solstice Tower might be similar. Who would have expected that the keepers of the Winter Solstice Tower are not only unknown, but on the contrary, they are also famous, and they are actually the Mobius Craftsmen Association. At the same time,
He is also the president of the Craftsmen Association.
It's just that few people may know his identity.
He looked at the other person with his mouth wide open. Seeing him like this, Friston smiled softly, "But don't be too happy first. I approve of you, but I only approve of Milleuthymis's choice as a tower guard.
.In addition, your words gave me a little recognition and made me feel that you are somewhat different from those ordinary people, so I took a high look..."
"But the details will not be known until the Two Towers Trial. Although I am busy with work and may not be there at that time, I will not even deny the qualifications to the person chosen by Milleuthymis.
"
He didn't seem to be surprised at all that Fang Yu was in jail at the moment. Even though the president had been quarreling with Duke Hawke in the newspapers these days, the other party seemed to be downplaying it.
"I will find a way to continue the league. With your current results, it is not difficult to enter the Twin Towers trial, but the first level of the Silver Tower is not that easy," Friston said. "After that, you can get to that point.
It’s up to you. Remember, don’t let me down too much. I won’t let you down just because you are a student of Milleuthymis——”
He looked at Fang Yu and added: "...and for my own students, I will always hold them to the strictest standards."
Fang Yu nodded blankly.
Although he didn't understand why he had another cheap teacher. But after Xia Jin Tower, Anrothe did teach him about the inheritance of the Numelin elves, and regarded him as his student. He also once
This was acknowledged personally at the Elfendor Council.
He wasn't sure what kind of agreement there was between the tower keepers, but Anloser asked him to come here, and he must go to the Winter Solstice Tower.
Seeing that he understood, Friston nodded, and then asked: "Ed, have you met the descendants of Ash Lynn?"
Fang Plover was startled.
But then he realized that Ash-Lynn was a great mage with a great reputation during his lifetime. The time when he became famous happened to be the era when the president began to take charge of the Empire Workshop. The two knew each other and even had exchanges with each other.
It's nothing surprising.
The old affairs between him and Sylvide, as well as Sylvide's father and the Linn family, were nothing to hide, so he detailed how he got to the empire and passed through the Stag Principality, and the series of events that happened between them.
Speak to the other party once.
Friston pondered while listening, raised his eyebrows and said: "As I expected, Ash Lynn's idea of the star device is just a hypothesis. Even if it really exists, those people who are looking for it at Lynn's house
After so many years, his whereabouts should have been determined long ago."
Fang Yu looked at the other party in surprise.
Friston reacted and said: "In the past, the Craftsmen's Association did not intervene much in the affairs between the magicians, but I also learned about some related things. Sir Ash-Lynn's theory was quite advanced at the time.
It caused a lot of controversy among the magicians. Later, the magic theory was proved to be false, and this incident also caused a lot of uproar and caused quite a stir within the empire. It was not until many years later that the dust settled and came to an end.
"
"The craftsmen don't care much about other people's affairs, and I don't know much about magicians, but it is rumored that Ash Lynn also has extraordinary attainments in alchemy, so I went to inquire about it."
He shook his head, "But in fact, the rumors outside are exaggerated. The great wizard Ash-Lynn may have some achievements in alchemy, but it is only beyond ordinary people. Ed, you should understand that a person's energy is
It is limited. A genius may be able to master everything, but it is always difficult to reach the peak. I heard that the little girl Virus also arrived in the empire with you this time. You might as well ask her about this matter."
Fang Yu had also heard that Ms. Virus had extraordinary achievements in being an elementalist and a shipwright, but there were also rumors that the reason why Virus was inferior to Ming in all aspects was that she was one level behind the level of Ten Kings.
It's because of too many distractions.
He sometimes considered his own path. In fact, the trouble he encountered now was the same as Virus. He had to juggle too many things and was good at various fields of craftsmanship. These things seemed dazzling and attractive.
But one day, these things will become obstacles on his way forward.
However, the problem is that whether it is the Seven Seas Brigade or the Seven Seas Traveler, they all require him to do this. He could not find any good solution for the moment, but the words of the president gave him an idea.
.
Isn’t Ms. Virus a ready teacher in this area?
It just so happened that he now had the opportunity to ask the other party this question.
As for the president's speculation about Ash Lynn, it coincided with his guess. After in-depth study of the gray crystal, he also believed that the person who left the crystal might not be Ash.
-Lynn, but someone else.
However, he thought about it for a while and did not tell the other party about it. Firstly, this was just his guess. Secondly, the gray crystal matter did not seem to have much to do with the current matter. He was not willing to tell the other party at the Patrol Guard Headquarters.
Tell these things.
And Friston just mentioned it casually. Then he told him something about the Hawke family and the cunning Duke, the old grudges between the Mage family, and why they treated Ash Lynn so much.
Home manuscript on heart.
"About thirty years ago," the other party told, "the empire discovered a batch of strange relic structures from the border area. Although not much is known to the outside world, it is not really a secret. I just happened to be able to communicate with them.
Please tell me the whole story. You should have seen the magic furnace under the Empire Workshop, right?"
Fang Plover nodded.
"Their origins are almost the same. From the history of magic crafts to today, the branches of technology are all derived from the ideas of the great alchemist Ed and his students, and earlier, they are derived from the Numerin elves.
The alchemy of.”
Friston said, and what he said was actually the history of alchemy and alchemists that Fang Plover already knew. "As we all know, the alchemy of mortals comes from the inheritance of the Numerin elves. But the ancient elves used
The method of magic is very different from ours, so we need to transform their alchemy in our own way. This is where the magic furnace of the great alchemist Ed comes from, and this is also the origin of mortal alchemy."
"Since then, we have continued to explore the mysteries of ancient alchemy, and on the one hand, we have also created new alchemy that belongs only to us. However, over the years, we can still get a lot of inspiration from the skills of the Numerin elves. You
He also masters the ancient alchemy of the Numerin elves, so he should be able to understand this."
Fang Plover nodded again.
Of course he understands that this is where the elf creation technique comes from.
He suddenly realized, "So those ruin machines...?"
Friston continued, but he didn't seem to be very sure about this, and said vaguely: "Even if it is not left by the elves of Numerin, at least it is inseparable from that era."
Fang Yu's mind once again flashed back to those 'black disaster stars' he had seen in the Hall of Thousand Doors, as well as the alchemy that Luo Lin had mastered. The style of those alchemies was similar to that of the Numelin elves that he later learned.
The styles are very different, but they certainly don’t come from this era.
He then thought of the Shadow Man's Nightmare Furnace structure, Star Device, Nightmare Furnace, Black Disaster Star, and Ancient Alchemy. These terms lingered in his mind. He seemed to have vaguely grasped something, but he couldn't be sure.
to find the most certain clue.
He was a little distracted for a moment.
But Friston didn't seem to care and continued, "In the long history, we have lost many technical routes, but through the pursuit of history, we have also gained a lot. The magic machine discovered in Nozpitz
This is true for the induction furnace and the ruin machines. We discovered a common alchemical configuration, a brand new field that we have not yet explored, and we named it the Star Device——"
Fang Yu was lost in thought when he heard the name and was so surprised that he raised his head and looked at him.
He just thought of this, but he didn't expect that he suddenly heard a term that he was very familiar with - the star device. It actually came from here?
The president looked at him with some surprise, "What's wrong?"
"No..." Fang Yu shook his head. Out of instinctive vigilance, he did not tell the story about the dragon hunter. After all, it now seems that this clue is closely related to the Lin En family and the seven demons behind the incident twenty years ago.
The Daoshi family is all related. This is the headquarters of the Patrol Guards. He does not intend to make his secrets public here. "But why is it called this name?"
"Stars twinkle, stars are born," Friston said for the first time the origin of the name of the Star Device. "Alchemy is originally pursuing creation, but the Star Device actually explores..."
He hesitated for a moment, seeming to think of something, and skipped the topic, "...Unfortunately, you are not from the Empire. There are some things that I can't talk too deeply to you. But the Star Device is actually the result of the Empire's alchemy reform in the past forty years.
You should have guessed the driving force."
Fang Yu was quite keen on alchemy, so he naturally guessed this and nodded.
But he actually thought deeper. No wonder the craftsmen of the Empire Workshop were so obsessed with the Magic Furnace. The Empire's alchemical reform originated from the Star Device, and decades after the discovery of the relics,
Today, they once again saw a similar structure on a magic furnace in Nozpitz.
How can you not be shocked?
But when he inspected the magic furnace at that time, he didn't find any connection between the structure on it and the star device. Maybe it was because the impact of the Zero magic furnace on him was too great?
However, he shook his head and realized that the greater possibility was that he had not carefully checked the resonance crystal in the magic furnace. He did not expect that he had missed such an important clue due to his negligence.
But there is actually a connection between the Star Device and the Zero Crystal?
While he was hesitating, Friston continued:
"The empire's alchemical reform begins with the Star Device and will surely end with the Star Device."
Regarding this public history, the other party did not hide much, "In its most prosperous era, almost everyone involved put forward their own opinions on it. The same goes for the Mobius Craftsmen Association, and the Seven Magicians
The same goes for the family, even Sir Ash-Lynn..."
"In the end, the Craftsmen's Association won and successfully took the lead in this reform," the president said indifferently, without even mentioning that it was he who led Mobiu in this era.
The Sri Lanka Craftsmen Association has defeated all challengers and has reached its current position step by step. "Now, my old rival is becoming more and more mature with each passing day. It is no longer what it was back then. Of course, they hope to regain the dominance of this change."
——”
"...It's a pity that their technical route has long been proven wrong," Friston chuckled and shook his head, "The Duke is very good at fighting for power, but he is not very good at technology. Now they actually
It is ironic that hope is pinned on the theories of Ash Lynn, a former nemesis."
However, he paused and changed the topic: "But you should also understand that this manuscript in your hand... no matter whether it is true or false, that cunning man will not let you go easily."
Fang Yu frowned. He knew that he had caused trouble, but he didn't expect that the implications were so far-reaching.
However, he knew that the other party might not have completely told him the truth, after all, it contained too many secrets of the Empire.
"So now you understand your situation," Friston asked him, "but you don't seem too nervous. Or am I wrong and you actually have a solution?"
Fang Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"I probably understand," the president looked at him with appreciative eyes, "it seems that you do have something to rely on, so when you start, considering that you are a student of Milleuthymis
For your sake, I will take action."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing. He didn't expect that this was the purpose of the other party coming to see him.
He looked at the other party in surprise, not expecting that his group would have such a backup.
It was just a casual encounter at Ayinbrock Airport, but I never thought that the president would actually have a relationship with his teacher Anlose.
"Thank you very much, President Friston."
"No need to thank me," Friston shook his head and said bluntly, "The Continental League is the authority of the Craftsmen's Association. Originally, the Mobius Craftsmen's Association had to let it continue as scheduled, but after talking with you,
, saved me a lot of trouble.”
"Besides," he said, "in fact, these people don't dare to do anything to you. You underestimate your teacher too much. The name Milleuthymis carries much more weight than you think. I'm not here
I’m solving your trouble, but I’m solving Aiyin Block’s trouble.”
Friston glanced at the guards in the hall, "How many people in this world dare to offend a tower guard of the Silver Tower, a dragon who has witnessed the dark ages?"
His voice was not loud, but it made everyone take a step back.
After the president finished speaking, he stopped talking to Fang Pliong and only glanced at him, then turned and left.
Fang Yu watched the other party's back go away, walked through the hall, and walked out the door. He pondered for a while, and his mind was still turning over and over what the other party said to him. The origin of the star device turned out to be the driving force for the reform of the empire.
.
But how could those things appear on the ship of a pirate leader in the Misty Gorge? It is said that the ship left the empire more than ten years ago, was attacked midway, and finally sank under the Misty Gorge.
What is the relationship between the dragon hunters on the ship and the gray crystal left by Ash-Lynn?
Does Ash-Lynn's manuscript actually exist?
With these thoughts running through his mind, he couldn't help but become more curious about the pirate king's legacy. Unfortunately, he couldn't get away from it. Otherwise, he really wanted to go to Hanruina now and see the truth.
It was just that while Fang Yu was thinking about these problems, he turned around and walked back when a voice suddenly called him from behind. "Mr. Ed, please stay." Fang Yu was startled, turned around and looked in that direction, and saw
On the second floor, a young man was looking at himself.
Obviously, the person who just spoke was the other party.
As soon as Fang Yu saw his appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked - it was this guy!
He had no impression of the young man who had appeared in the Elpaxin Silver Tower as mentioned by the military before, because there were too many people at the time, and he fell together with the Shadow Man's aerospace ship.
The scene was chaotic again.
How can I remember a specific person's appearance in the midst of such a rush?
But as soon as he saw him, the vague impression in his mind was immediately complete, and the memory of that time in El Paxin was recovered bit by bit from the young man.
The other party turned out to be exactly the person the military was looking for!
