Chapter 6: The Temple
"Drop~" A prompt sound woke Yin Yi up.
"Please, you're from the Department of Magic, where did you get the electronic prompt?" Yin Yi complained and rubbed his eyes.
"Wow! The temple has arrived. Ciel's shouts came from the side.
Yin Yi raised his eyes and saw that the scene on the light screen in front of him no longer moved. It seems that the bus has stopped, and when it arrives at the terminal, the building below is the Shining Gold Temple.
In the very center of Liangcheng, a particularly ordinary-looking building occupies the area. There is no consciousness of being a temple at all, not ostentatious, and not gorgeous. Yin Yi looked at it carefully for a while, and finally found something special. Although the appearance of the temple is extremely ordinary, the whole temple gives people the feeling that they are one with the whole world, and there is a feeling that it is not artificially built.
"It's finally here, let's go, let's go to the temple and have a look. Shin stretched and said.
How to go, we are still on the second floor, how should we go down? Yin Yi felt that he still knew too little about this world. He was about to ask Sen about it, but when he saw it, Sen stood up and jumped straight from his seat, followed by Ciel. Jumping down, jumping straight from the light curtain to the first floor, or being so violent.
"Yin Yi, let's go too. Aisha stretched out her hand from the side, "Don't worry, before Mom came, she told us about the precautions of taking the magic bus, and it will be fine." ”
Listening to Aisha's words, Yin Yi calmed down. He took Aisha's hand and jumped out of her seat with her. After passing through the light curtain, he did not fall directly as Yin Yi thought. Instead, the moment they passed through the light curtain, a magic pontoon immediately formed under their feet like when they flew onto the magic bus, and flew directly from the exit to the ground.
At the entrance of the shrine were a lot of seven-year-old children and accompanying parents, as if waiting for something. They stood together and chatted in twos and threes, but they all tried to keep their voices down, so they were not noisy at all. In general, the appearance of an ordinary temple and the beautiful scenery around it make it a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
"This is where the qualifications are tested, and we go in from the side. Flash waited for Yin Yi to stand firm with Aisha.
"Don't we know the qualifications?" Yin Yi asked.
"It's still early, you can't test your qualifications until you're seven years old. Shem replied.
"Seven-year-old, then why are we coming to the temple now?" Yin Yi asked again.
"This time I came to the temple to let you understand and feel something first. You'll know what it is when you go in. Flash replied patiently.
Passing through the main entrance to the side, there is a high gray-and-white wall covered with vines that resemble creepers. Walking along the wall for about fifty meters, I saw a doorway that allowed about three people to pass through at once.
"This is it, let's go inside. Flash paused and said to the three.
Walking into the doorway is a small hall, facing the doorway on the wall in the continental language with a sentence written in the continental language, "Hello everyone, welcome to the glittering gold corridor!" In the lower right corner is a smiling face and an invitation gesture icon.
"The style of this temple is really close to the people. Yin Yi complained in his heart. After reading the words on the wall, Yin Yi looked around again. A small boxy hall, with no decoration and no furniture, as clean and tidy as ever. But there seemed to be something wrong, and when I looked up at the corners of the wall above all sides, there were no magic runes, not a single magic rune.
"Why isn't there a cleaning rune here?, is it specially cleaned by someone?" Yin Yi asked.
"This is one of the magic things about the Shining Gold Temple, it seems to have its own consciousness, or its own set of management systems. Everything in the entire temple can be controlled and managed by itself, and we can only watch and touch, but we cannot interfere or change it. ”
Hearing Yin Yi's words, Flash turned around and explained.
"Self-awareness, is it the spirit of the temple?" Yin Yi said silently in his heart.
Thinking about it, Flash and Ciel had already walked out of the door on the right, and Yin Yi hurriedly followed Aisha. Passing through the door, there is a long corridor about 100 meters long. On the walls on both sides of the corridor, a light curtain about one and a half meters high is lit, which extends to the end of the corridor. The light curtain is divided into pieces by the different images played above. There are already many combinations of adults and children like Yin Yi and them in the corridor.
"This is the Glittering Gold Corridor, also known as the Historical Corridor. The light curtains on both sides are playing the major historical events of the Shining Gold Continent for thousands of years. Flash explained softly to Yin Yi and them.
"The first ones are the Elemental Wars, and there are subtitles under the light curtain, so you can take a serious look. Shin said, pointing to the first frame.
The Elemental War takes place two hundred years after the arrival of people in this new world, in the year 231 of the new calendar. At that time, the various races had only just gained magical powers, and most of them had only begun to explore and use magic. However, there are a few highly gifted races that quickly become proficient in the use of magic. And among them, the extremely talented clansmen entered the realm extremely quickly, and soon stood at the top of this world's power.
In particular, Orn, the fire mage of the Notting clan, the water mage of the Spirit Clan, the wood mage of the forest elves, the wood mage of the forest elves, the gold mage of the Yu Yu clan, and the earth mage of the sub-clan, Imiel. These five people possessed the highest elemental affinity and elemental control, and they reached the highest level known at that time, the level of a holy magician, in a very short time. However, this so-called highest realm is not the limit of these five people at all. In the following ten years, the five of them broke through the boundaries and came to a new realm. They call this realm the Elementals.
Upon reaching this realm, they found that they possessed the power to control the elements. Previously, magic could only be used through communication elements, but now it is possible to control the elements as you wish. This powerful and unrestrained power directly led to the occurrence of the nightmare of all races on this continent, the Elemental War.
Initially, in order to increase the cultivation speed of their own race, the five began to consciously increase the concentration of elements in the territory where their race was located. However, since they can only control one of their own elements, they agree to help each other gather the elements. Later, due to the expansion of the territory, the conflict between them gradually arose due to the competition for the elements. All five of them are proud people, and none of them will bow their heads and give in. Orn of the Notting clan couldn't stand this situation at every turn, and he felt that only by quickly increasing his strength and defeating the four of them and making them submit to him could he break the current situation.
In order to be able to quickly improve his strength, Orn decided to gather the fire elements of the entire continent to create a better cultivation environment for him. Even in order to accommodate more fire elements, Orn disregarded the cultivation of other clansmen and expelled all other elements from the territory. The other four elemental envoys quickly discovered Orn's anomalous behavior, and several of them were all close in talent, and none of them were stupid. After a little thought, they all understood Orn's intentions. In order not to fall behind, the four of them followed the example of Orn and began to frantically gather the elements under their control in their own territory.
As the concentration of elements in their territory increased, people of other races found out. Not only did they face the problem of slowing down their cultivation speed, but the marginal areas of the continent had gradually lost their vitality due to the lack of elements. Other places have also become unsuitable for human life because of the extreme imbalance of the elements. The territory where the five people are located, the continent has begun to collapse, turning into a pure elemental world, and this collapse is still slowly expanding. Except for a few extremely die-hard people, the people of these five tribes all began to flee, and the entire continent fell into panic.
But at this time, the five of them didn't think about anything else at all, and the elemental world made their strength increase rapidly. Their goal is not only to surpass the other four to make them subjugate, but their rapidly increasing strength has given them greater ambitions and become gods. This sense of omnipotence and control breeds in their hearts the ambition of becoming gods. This crazy thought has made them completely lose their minds, and they don't care about the harm their actions are bringing to the continent, as well as the disasters that other races on the continent have suffered.
Just when everyone was in despair, a man named Kratos stepped forward and challenged the Five Elemental Envoys. This bald man with pale blue skin is from the coconut tribe, and people of this race are also extremely talented. However, the people of their clan only admired the power of the flesh, and had no interest in the simple cultivation of magic. Coupled with the fact that the population of this group is extremely small, they have little presence on the mainland.
