Fang Lu explained to Aona the origin of the Holy Chosen One, but Aona seemed to understand.
No wonder, six hundred years after the fall of the Elkins dynasty, a group of extraterrestrial visitors came to this world. This kind of thing is too unbelievable.
Aona turned around and said to the kobold: "Pepe, go get a ladder."
The latter nodded and left, and Aona turned around, thought for a moment, and asked: "So...Mr. Ed and your companions were not originally from this world, but were chosen by the gods to come to Aita.
Liya, I have never heard of such a thing before, so it must be Ms. Roman who chose Mr. Ed?"
"No, strictly speaking, the Chosen Ones are not chosen for any god. It is better to say that they work for the Saints of Orin."
Fang Yu hesitated for a moment, wondering whether this description was accurate or just based on his own judgment.
He didn't know how to explain what the Star Gate was. For most people, it was common knowledge and no need to be explained. Most people were familiar with what happened in the past hundred years, but this apocalyptic princess had been underground for seven hundred years and completely missed it.
A period when the two worlds merged with each other.
To go deeper, to be honest, even the choosers themselves may not understand what their origin is.
That would involve why the Star Gate appeared. The academic community has been arguing about this issue for more than a century and has only come up with some specious hypotheses.
And if they are said to be the ones chosen by the saints, why did the saints choose them?
The longer the trip lasted, the more Fang Yu felt that the Chosen Ones were carrying a certain kind of gaze. The gaze came from a high place, just like the glances Marlan and Aimea cast on him.
Most people may attribute this to their own specialness, but for higher-level beings such as gods, would they pay attention to which ant is more special?
The commonalities and characteristics of mortals coexist with each other, but it seems that Stargate pays more attention to the commonalities of the chosen group rather than the characteristics. The saints cast their eyes on more than one place, they did not so much notice a certain person.
Rather, he noticed the subtle trends in the development of events.
Mortals just happen to be in it.
It's not just him, maybe others too.
In many places, many events are happening at the same time. Fang Plover has magnified his experience in Istania to the entire Aitaria. Perhaps the Saints of Orin are planning something.
His thoughts were a little divergent, but Pepe had already brought a ladder over, looking at the two of them flatteringly, wagging his tail. Its tail was pointed and had smooth scales on it, like a stick.
"Put the ladder over there, open the cabinet on the bookshelf, and let Mr. Ota take out the things inside." Aona ordered it.
Pepe wagged her tail again, leaned the ladder over and placed it on a brown bookshelf in that direction, climbed up using both hands and feet, and opened the door of the cabinet there.
The cabinet is locked, but Pepe and Fang Plover recognize it differently from all other kobolds. It is very smart and knows how to use tools.
There was a bunch of keys hanging on the back of it. The bunch of keys was set on an iron ring. Pepelli counted out one of the keys from the ground, inserted it into the keyhole, opened the lock with a click, and the lock popped open.
It showed a beaming expression and turned back to look at Aona below. The girl nodded slightly to it, and then Pepe excitedly turned around and opened the cabinet.
At this time, the head of the tall iron statue beside it lit up. It made a heavy muffled sound and stood up. It pulled out an iron box that was half a man's height from the cabinet, lifted it up and placed it gently on the ground.
Aona looked at the box with a melancholy expression, a trace of expectation flashed in her eyes. She walked over, gently touched the iron box with her hand, and said, "I haven't seen it for many years. Those things are here."
Inside the box, Hellingwell, Jeldham and Friston are all extremely arrogant people, and the questions they left behind are not that easy to solve."
"You have to try it and you will know."
Fang Yu said matter-of-factly. He didn't take any chances. Helinwell was a student of Hain. Those three people must be legendary figures in history. They should at least complete the tower magic furnace.
It also has the level of a great craftsman.
Even though seven hundred years have passed, there are still many mathematical problems left over hundreds of years ago that have not yet been solved.
He looked at the box. The heavy iron box had been completely oxidized to black - or it was not called oxidation here, but he didn't know what elemental reaction it should be. It had patterns etched on the surface.
A layer of copper carvings was affixed, but the appearance has not changed much after hundreds of years.
This iron box looks relatively beautiful from the outside. You can still see the exposed gear structure on one corner, and there is an emerald inlaid there, which looks like a place for winding the clockwork. Fang Plover felt a little familiar when he saw the gem.
This is a crystal approximation fitting problem, which requires craftsmen to connect as many nodes as possible from the shortest path as much as possible. This problem has developed in every era, and has developed to one hundred and twenty-seven nodes today.
many.
Fang Yu became a little curious, which one of Hellingwell, Jeldham and Friston left behind this institution? The most likely one is Hellingwell. As an academic, he should be the most popular.
Good at these theoretical topics.
But Jeldham also has a high possibility that a clever mechanism craftsman can also produce such an exquisite mechanism.
Aona said: "This is a crystal fitting problem. Hellingwell gave three answers, but these were based on his own research level. In that era, even people from the Royal Alchemy Academy would not be sure.
able……"
But before she finished speaking, she blinked in surprise.
Fang Yu had already put his hand up, but before him, Xiaoyao was a step faster. He covered the crystal with his hand first, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, "Eighty-nine nodes, but I have never seen this curve before."
He opened his eyes and looked at Fang Plover, "You do it or I do it."
"You do it," the academic question is the best to solve now. Although he has excellent talent in planetary connection with multiple parallel levels, he thinks that it is a small problem with eighty-nine nodes.
The level should be impossible to cause problems.
"Wait, that's..." Aona wanted to say something, but the emerald lit up slightly, several gears rotated clockwise a few times, and a slight clicking sound came from underneath the mechanism.
Then a trap door slid open on the iron box, and inside was a clock-shaped lock.
Aona cautiously closed her mouth.
"Huh?"
A novel expression appeared on Xiaoyao's face, "This is a universal lock. The gimbal on the magic gloves was developed through this. There was such a thing at that time."
"This lock was left by Friston..." the girl said with a surprised tone, as if she hadn't recovered from the shock just now.
She looked at the people present.
Even she couldn't open the crystal fitting device so easily.
In fact, it's not that she has never seen the alchemists of this era. Ota has also come into contact with the craftsmen of the Empire from a distance. The level of those people is acceptable, and occasionally there are things that shock her that are beyond her era.
But even those people, she thought it would take some time to work on this lock. These young people were just met by Ota accidentally, and she originally thought they might spend a lot of time on this issue.
of.
Even if he hits his head and bleeds, it doesn't necessarily matter.
But the reality is far from that.
"What are the origins of these people?" She thought to herself, "They seem to be Kaolin people, but are the Kaolin people's alchemy level now so high? Or are they just the Alchemy King of Ithurian?
A student of the college?”
The King of Ithurion Alchemy Academy was the only academy she knew of where Kaolin people taught magic skills, but she didn't know if it still existed today.
However, what Aona did not expect was that although the Royal Ithurian Alchemy Academy still existed, the reality was far from what she had imagined.
Because the students at Wangli Alchemy Academy may be far inferior to the young people in front of her.
Especially in the same age group, looking at the entire first world, it is difficult to find such a combination.
Needless to say, Xiaoyao, Shui Wuming and Luo Wei are each the top geniuses of Silver Vislan, Elite and God Killer. If they are said to be in the empire, there are equally talented people who can replace them in Giant Tree Hill.
But beside the three of them, Fang Plover, even the self-proclaimed Twin Star of the Empire, did not dare to say that he would definitely be better than the Dragon Alchemist in their eyes, especially in the Continental League today.
Fang Plover's reputation doesn't stop there.
However, Xiaoyao did not notice the expression of the girl beside him, and still said to himself: "This second question is quite difficult. The interior of the universal lock is essentially one or several ciphers, but to unlock the cipher, only the skills of craftsmen are required."
But no, you still need a code book."
"The code book is on the bookshelf over here." Aona suddenly said, "This mechanism was left by Friston. He said that the code should be placed in the works related to the pipeline magic furnace. It is here.
On the wall, because only those who understand the magic furnace are worthy of opening this lock."
"Pipeline Magic Furnace, I saw that book with a golden spine, "Amorphous Inclusions: Introduction to Maltland's Technology, Volume 3". I had seen this book in a technical magazine, but I didn't expect it to be here.
There is an entity, and the entire second and third chapters are about the magic furnace." Xiaoyao said, pointing to a book in the third row on the bookshelf.
However, he only knew this much, so he looked at the others and said, "That's all I know. Are any of you familiar with such an old antique as the pipe-type magic furnace?"
""Design Performance of Magical Furnace", "Aether Sealing and Leakage Prevention", "Introduction to Runes and Metal Materials"." Shui Wuming glanced at him, glanced at the bookshelf, and pointed out three books in succession.
"So many?" Xiaoyao was a little doubtful, "Wu Ming, you haven't specifically learned about that kind of antique magic furnace, have you?"
Shui Wuming gave him a roll of his eyes and said angrily: "You were probably dozing off in the history of technology class."
"That's it," Fortunately, Xiaoyao was thick-skinned and didn't care about the sarcasm. He just took the books off the bookshelf and piled them on the huge workbench.
But then he had trouble with these thick tomes. He opened the pages with his hands and found that each book had hundreds of pages.
Xiaoyao asked with a bit of a grimace: "Not every chapter here is definitely related to the magic furnace, and we haven't really studied them. How do we know which chapter the password is hidden in? It can't really take several days.
In these outdated technologies, right?"
Fang Plover sighed, "I'll do it."
"That's great," Xiaoyao immediately cheered up, "Ed, how much time do you need?"
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome," Fang Yu shook his head, "You can just start solving it."
"You read so fast?"
But Xiaoyao soon realized that the truth was not that simple.
The first set of passwords in the universal lock appears in a form similar to the Caesar cipher, which is a replacement encryption technology. All letters in the plaintext are backward (or forward) on the ciphertext according to a fixed
The number is offset and replaced with ciphertext.
He and Shui Wuming worked together to quickly find the message left by the other Friston from the fixed movement track of the escapement. It was a simple combination of letters and numbers.
The two of them immediately looked at Fang Plover.
"In "Design Performance of Magical Furnace", the letters at the beginning represent the chapter name. Fyn is the abbreviation of crystal technology. Just turn to Chapter 7." Fang Yu looked at Luo Wei who was flipping through the book and reminded: "Learn
Sister, just turn to page 232. I have seen the original version of this book. The numbers and letters at the end are the real password sequence. The third line, the seventh, the eighth and the ninth letters, the fifth line, the first,
The fourth and sixth letters..."
"A,E,M...N,F,E."
Luo Wei raised her head and looked at him in surprise, "This is the abbreviation for the principle of the pipeline magic furnace. The next few letters are probably the abbreviation of Friston's own title in imperial writing."
"Really?" Xiaoyao entered the password a little doubtfully.
With a click, the lock opened.
"Holy shit, it's true!" He exclaimed in surprise.
But then there were several layers of passwords, each encrypted in different ways. They began to divide the work and cooperate. Xiaoyao and Shui Wuming were responsible for reading the information left in the agency, while Luo Wei was responsible for comparison and review.
Fang Yu reported one by one which book and chapter those letters and numbers matched.
"What's wrong?" Luo Wei closed the last book in her hand and looked at the other party curiously.
"There is one last set of passwords, but we no longer have any books." Xiaoyao looked at the others speechlessly, "I've checked that abbreviation, and it doesn't match the books we have."
"how so?"
The Papalar man was the first to jump up.
They couldn't get involved in the work of the craftsmen, and the others were fine, just watching quietly as a few people decrypted the code.
But Parker himself could no longer suppress his loneliness. He felt that instead of wasting time here, it would be more enjoyable to go out and fight with the Imperials.
There is nothing in this place, and the treasures mentioned are just some technical documents that are worthless in his opinion. If those things are good, even if they are sold, the money will not fall into his hands.
Others also looked at Aona.
The girl was a little embarrassed, "Jeldham, Helinwell and Friston actually left this mechanism just to prevent others from getting these technical documents. They didn't lock the box because they thought it was impossible for anyone to solve it."
Open these mechanisms. But they didn’t intend to leave answers. They took away many books before leaving, and the one containing the answers to the riddle may have been taken away..."
"Please, madam, you should have told me earlier," Xiaoyao was speechless and spread his hands, "Aren't our efforts in vain?"
"It's not a waste of effort," Luo Wei put her hand on the book, pondered for a while and said: "There is no such book here, but it may not be available in the outside world. The Imperial Workshop does not have the most complete knowledge about the field of alchemy.
Do you have a collection of books?”
"Do we have to make another trip?"
"No need to go to so much trouble," Fang Yu suddenly stood up, making everyone look at him in surprise, "There is no need to look for that book, I have already thought of "Magic Technology Theory, Volume 1" and the pipeline system
The only remaining technical literature related to the magic furnace is this book, which is not here."
"Wait a minute," Xiaoyao suddenly realized something, "You don't know how to...?"
"Sy'ton, Chapter 3, Crystal Properties and Ether Affinity, A5, Paragraph 5, N7, B2, A5, are the letters J, D, M, A7, Paragraph 7, B5, B3, C9, are the letters S
,A,V.”
Fang Yu raised his head and looked at Sandao who was looking at him with shocked eyes, "Don't be stunned, enter it and take a look. After such a long time, I'm not sure whether what I remember is correct."
Xiaoyao finally came to his senses and entered the six letters mechanically.
There was a soft sound, the gimbal rotated counterclockwise once, then stopped slightly, and then the entire dial opened.
"Holy shit!" Xiaoyao screamed again, and then raised his head and looked at Fang Plover as if he were looking at a monster, "Ed, you are not that Friston, are you? Don't tell me that you are also from Qi
A hundred years ago?”
"Are you kidding?" Fang Plover said angrily. However, he did not expect that some of the books he had read in Kapka could be used today.
And since he obtained the Dragon Knight System, his memory has gotten better and better. He already had an excellent memory, and when he completed the basic apprenticeship courses in Kapka so quickly, he relied on this without relying on the system.
But to be able to remember every line and every word in the book two years later was something he had never been able to do in the past. It was as if the system had imprinted that knowledge into his mind.
He asked Jita and Luo Yu that the system of ordinary people did not seem to have such a situation. They could retrieve it from the system, but the knowledge was not imprinted in their own memories.
But what exactly this means, Fang Pultru himself didn't understand for a while.
He has always been a pragmatist. As long as he can use it, he will use it first, just like now.
However, this obviously shocked Luo Wei and others a little. Everyone in the Qihai Brigade was fine. They had seen so many magical things from Fang Plover that they were no longer so surprised that they were numb.
Even Aona glanced at Fang Plover in surprise.
But she didn't think anything of it. After all, in her impression, Jeldham, Helinwell, and Friston were all such geniuses who could be chosen one out of ten thousand. Because she had seen them so many times, she was no longer so surprised.
But as the box opened, she couldn't help but hold her breath slightly.
She tried hard to restrain her excitement and said to Fang Pliance: "There is one last question, Mr. Ed."
"I saw it, eh... wait, what is this!?" Xiaoyao answered first, but when he looked under the dial, the originally excited look froze on his face, and turned into a confused look.
Shui Wuming and Luo Wei also looked at the mechanism under the dial strangely. They had never seen such a bizarre device.
Among the crowd, only Fang Plover suddenly stood up from his position, took a few steps forward and approached the dial. He looked at the device below, then raised his head, and breathed a little quickly towards Aona beside him.
asked:
"What is this, Lady Aona?"
"I don't know either," the girl shook her head slightly, "I only know that this is the mechanism left by Jeldham. What's wrong, does Mr. Ed know this mechanism?"
Fang Yu closed his eyes and shook his head in denial.
Indeed, he doesn't know this agency either.
But it’s hard to say that I haven’t seen it before…
It was a gray gemstone, inserted into the criss-crossing network of pipes below, like a center that gathered the twinkling starlight here, and a layer of strange light emerged on the surface of the gemstone.
