Chapter 243: Star
"A thousand years ago, the Esselin Plague occurred, and the Noumerin Elves left this world after leaving three sacred relics for mortals."
"The Rotao were on the west side of the continent for the last time they saw the elven fleet heading south—"
"So the people of the wilderness left this record in the scrolls: '...... There are countless silver sails, as if they cover the sky and the sun; The sacred ship was snow-white and shone with the light of the sun...... and the spirits of Noumerin were gone, never to be seen. ”
"The once vast and glorious empire has also been lost with the collapse of the floating continent 'Esselin'. Today, there are only scattered ancient ruins in the New World, Cowlin-Ishurian, Rotao and Osyria, and their mottled broken walls still tell the glory of the years......"
"And the legend of the Three Holy Relics, since the end of the War of the Giants, has been widely spread among mortal nations. Together with the legend of the Dragon Slaying Sword, they have become mortals' memories of that era. ”
"The elves gave the Crown of Hailin and the Sword of Dawn, the former becoming the eternal emblem of the kingdom of Korin on a white blue background, and the latter a major opportunity for the dwarves to convert to the 'King of the Mountains' and call Talos their guardian."
"The people of Korin have long been accustomed to regard this crown of twenty-one stars as a symbol of kingship and kingdom."
"And in the long war with the servants of the dark dragons, with the giants, and with the Naga, there were eleven Korin Ancestors, who led a coalition of Korin people, dwarves, and Evan Quinn elves, wearing this crown on their heads, and fighting against the forces of darkness in Arros today—"
"It was a battle for the foundation of mortals."
"The Othello, the Rotao, all participated. The Oath Keeper, the Light Leader, the Ancient Knight, the Silver Helmet, and many other famous legends were born in that era. ”
"And until King Eloso's eldest son, Prince Finnis, who wore the crown of light on his head, died in the army while fighting the Servants of Darkness."
"That is, the fall of one of the brightest heroes of that era—"
King Eloso was so grieved that he sealed the crown he had brought back from the battlefield, and the people of Korin were shut down for thirteen years. This history ended with the assassination of King Eloso. ”
"It was the most famous 'Moonstone Rebellion' in history, after which the loss of the Hero King made a new alliance with the dwarves, and the Elves of Evan Quinn joined the alliance once again. Thus, the Kaulin-Ishurian alliance in today's sense was established. ”
"And the combined forces of the Cowlings, the Elves of Evan Quinn, and the Dwarves, since the time of Eloso, have finally ushered in a new hero, the Ender, Warit. This king of dwarves is the terminator of the later Three Dragons Age-"
"In 431, the coalition forces, led by Warit, joined the last battle of the Otrainians against Naga. In that battle, the Rotao launched a surprise attack on the flank, and Warit entered the dragon kingdom three times, killing the last dark dragon, Hellfang. ”
"Since then, it has come to an end for an era."
"And this dwarven hero king is also the last dragon slayer in the mortal world since the time of the dragon witch."
"The long war that followed came to an end...... After the fall of the dragon, the mortal enemy was no more, and the Oath Keeper clan sealed their swords and escaped from the world. And the elves who forged the holy sword for mortals also bid farewell to the coalition and returned to Charoan—the Light-Leader was disbanded, and the Ancient Knights disappeared. ”
"Only the Silver Helm, which later founded the Othello Empire. The Cowlins, the dwarves, and the Elves of Evan Quinn have returned to their homeland and rebuilt this ancient kingdom. ”
"But the Helin Crown, which has been lost since the assassination of Emperor Eloso. Warit's Morning Light Sword, along with this dwarven hero, has also disappeared in the vast river of history. ”
"The two treasures of the Kaolin Kingdom, since the founding of the country, have been missing for nearly four hundred years-"
The captain's interior is a bit quiet.
The platform beneath everyone's feet rose and fell gently and slowly with Mr. Limestone's progress.
The lich Donde slowly stopped tapping his cane, got up, and walked out of the door—Fang Yu saw the lich standing in the aisle outside, his black hole staring at the endless scenery above the sea of sand; The cold moonlight was shining on it through the lattice window.
Like a silver shatter of light, it gently rose and fell, cutting through a pitch-black shadow above its robes.
Karatu also stood up.
The dark-haired, middle-aged man turned around and walked to the other end of the captain's room, where he removed the lighting crystal from the wall, then held the crystal in his hand and walked back again. He held up the crystal in his hand, allowing it to shine brightly, reflecting the full picture of Aitalia hanging on the wall on one side of the group.
The legendary sorcerer's gaze was fixed on the map for a long time, and it took him a moment before he turned his head—the light of the crystal, reflecting half of his cheeks, and the other half of his face disappearing into shadow. His dark eyes looked at Fang Yu and asked:
"What is this place?"
Fang Yu looked in the direction the crystal in his hand was pointing.
He looked all the way down, and finally landed on the southernmost part of the map—there—down the hill of the great trees, past Saint Yeri, into a wild and broken continent, the mysterious kingdom of Gudasok in the midst of the jungle. But he had to continue south, until a long land bridge came into his sight:
It was the First Land Bridge.
The Stairway to Heaven, the gateway to the Second World.
Fang Yu looked at the place.
He had looked at this place many times, imagining that one day he could cross this place and go to the world of his dreams.
But he didn't speak. Karatu didn't want him to answer, he put down the crystal in his hand, the light in the room dimmed slightly, and the archmage sat down in the chair beside his bed, crossed his fingers, and spoke:
"The origin of the two sacred relics of Kaulin is another long story."
"The philosophical hand of the Otrios, the creation of Angina, the god of knowledge, bestows supreme power on the caster. The successive magical emperors of Associates wore this artifact glove and fought against the Naga and the armies of the giants on the battlefield. ”
"Rota'o's eternal emblem, half born at the hand of the goddess of nature, Ameya, and half by the romantic poet, the artist's patron, the halfling god Paviwala, is a sacred object of protection and healing, so it rarely appears directly on the battlefield."
"And the two relics of the Cowlings—"
Karatu said as he took out an emblem from his sleeve and placed it on the head of the bed.
Fang Yu saw that it was actually a coat of arms of Kaolin Ihurian, and the pattern on it was already very familiar to him - the coat of arms of the kingdom of Kaulin was divided into two, on which was a blue and white oblique coat of arms, three morning stars adorned it, one large and two small, which were consistent with the stars on the crown of Kaulin he had seen. And under the stars, is the body of the Hailin crown.
On either side of the shieldmon, under the vulture and the liger, is a black anvil, the dwarven god Talos's Flame Hammer and the white Aurora Sword - the anvil is below, the Flame Hammer is on top, the white Auron Sword is in the center, and the sparks are scattered to represent the dwarves scattered throughout Athelin.
Further down, the banner of the emblem is adorned with an old motto from Kaulin: 'Majesty by justice'.
This national emblem actually says it all.
"The Crown of Hailin and the Sword of Dawn are all forged by Talos. It was only after the elves sealed the Dragon's Sacrifice in the latter, so that the holy sword Dawnlight became one of the five dragon-slaying swords, and existed as the sword of the dwarven king Warit. ”
"So the three holy relics, all of which are artifacts, plus the artifacts of Elaine and Trireel, and the Elven Holy Grail, are a total of four treasures."
"Even in the time of Noumerin, they were sacred to the elves."
"And why did the elves give these relics to mortals when they left Aitalia?"
"There is a well-known legend about this—"
At some point, the big cat man pushed the door and walked in.
Red snuggled up to the door, holding his pipe in one hand, but did not light it, and listened silently to Karatu's story.
“…… Today's mortal realm is actually the successor chosen by the elves of Noumerin, and the elves are about to leave Aitalia, but the verdant power still exists in this world, and the threat of the dark dragon to Aitaria has not yet been eradicated. Therefore, they had to elect a successor to make the dark their enemies......"
Therefore, they not only taught mortals alchemy, but also made it possible for mortals who did not have the ability to magic to grasp great power. At the same time, in order to allow the weak mortal kingdom at that time to gain a foothold in the war, three holy relics were also given to the only three mortal kingdoms at that time. ”
"Cowling, Ossian and Rotao."
"Our history today seems to have begun—"
This may sound incredible, but it also contradicts the logic of history. Because just as three thousand years ago, Sinsas supported the Noumerin Empire in the same way - and now the Serpent Empire is long gone, and even the Noumi Elves have disappeared. ”
"But the trajectory of history is the same."
"But what's the point?" Karatu let go of his hands: "Since the plague of Asselin, the history of the Korin people has not been broken, and the Orshuans and the people of the wilderness of Rotao. ”
The archmage said as he looked at the big cat man behind him.
Red nodded in agreement.
"Therefore, there is a certain credibility in the record of the past," but Karatu suddenly retorted, "but after nearly seven centuries, people have rarely asked the question of why history has turned in such a turn?" ”
Fang Yu opened his mouth.
But he paused for a moment before he realized that he couldn't answer.
Why did the good elven empire leave by itself and leave all the inheritance to the mortals who were still weak at that time. After experiencing the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, the Sinsas snake people also disappeared as if suddenly, giving up the territory of the original empire to the elves.
Although there are still snake people in this world today, today's snake people and the snake people of the Sinsas era are fundamentally two species. Just as after the departure of the Noumerin Elf, there are still forest elves like Miss Attila and Evan Quinn elves like Princess Brian.
But there is nothing in common between the three.
Where did the Noumerin elve, the Sinsas snake man, go?
Only Kita raised her head a little timidly, and replied weakly, "Although the elves left suddenly, it was not that there was no information left for the mortal kingdom at that time. As far as I know, after leaving Esselin, mortals are no longer scattered...... So, so ......"
"The leaders of the mortals, the top scholars and alchemists of the time must have known something inside."
"And especially the alchemists, as the first students of the Noumerin civilization in that era, had the closest relationship with the elves, so they were not completely in the dark."
Karatu listened to this answer and looked back at Kita.
He asked, "And then?" ”
Kita glanced at Fang Yu with a little unease, but under the encouraging gaze of her captain, she took a breath and plucked up the courage to reply: "I, I thought that the ancestors of mortals must have reached some agreement with the elves, so that the information left behind at that time now seems to be a fragment and a word. ”
Karatu's gaze fell on Kita's magic book.
"Guriel's magic book is in your hand," he asked, looking at Kita with a gentle gaze, "Little girl, are you a naturalist?" ”
Kita nodded timidly.
"A good naturalist doesn't have to be magical, but he has a wide range of knowledge and an endless search for the unknown," the archmage smiled slightly, "Very good, in the Silver Tower, there are few successors like this today." ”
Being praised by the other party without concealment, Kita was so shy that her face turned red.
But Karatu looked at her and asked, "Little girl, what is your name?" ”
"Ji ...... Kita. ”
"Kita, would you like to be my student?" The archmage asked, "Although I am not a naturalist, Gurir was my best friend during his lifetime, and I believe that if he takes a student on his behalf, he will definitely agree." ”
Miss Naturalist opened her mouth cutely and stared blankly at the legendary magician, almost thinking for a moment that she had misheard.
Everyone in the room was taken aback, and everyone couldn't help but look at Kita—this was an opportunity to fall from the sky. Who is this black-haired middle-aged man in front of him, the other party already has the status of today's Sir Roban a century ago, and his strength as a dragon slayer wizard is even better.
Not to mention that today, a hundred years later, how high his strength is, I'm afraid only he himself knows. Not long ago, he teamed up with the Lich Don De and easily trapped the wanderer, although there was an element that the wanderer's strength was not in its heyday, but it was also evident from this.
Fang Yu saw that Ji Ta was already frozen, so he glanced at Sylvid to the side.
The aristocratic daughter smiled and tapped Ji Ta's thin vest behind her with her hand.
Ji Ta was excited before she reacted, and nodded again and again: "I—Can I really do it?" ”
Karatu bowed his head slightly.
Fang Yu looked at the two of them, thinking that Ji Ta had finally come to the bitter end. There can be a teacher like Karatu, as long as the callers themselves are not too bad, how can they enter the ranks of the first- and second-tier callers. And Kita, of course, is not too bad in the ranks, and can even be said to be very talented.
After all, he is also the successor of the magic book chosen by Tapolis one out of a thousand.
It's just that he looked at Karatu, who had said before that he was just a clone, and once activated, it wouldn't last long. I don't know how the other party plans to teach Kita.
And the legendary magician had already turned around at this moment and picked up the previous question again: "Regarding the whereabouts of the elves and the logic of history, Kita's answer is not all right, but it is not far from ten. In fact, this is also one of my guesses. ”
"Because in the process of investigating Alter, I found some clues."
"Alter's original owner, Donde's grandfather, Maryland, was given a holy relic during his lifetime—the origin of which you should all know—that is, the holy sword Moya. Outside of the morning light, the status of the four dragon slaying holy swords, although not as good as the three holy relics left by the elves, is still one of the legacies from the time of Noumerin. ”
"In the investigation of this matter, I found that the four holy swords, along with the Morning Light and the Crown of Hailin, as well as the Philosophical Hand and the Eternal Emblem, were all sealed into a strange power at the beginning of forging."
"This power should come from the shining sea prophesied by the lizards."
"Radiance of the Firmament!" Fang Yu replied subconsciously.
Karatu nodded.
He then said: "In fact, the source of Maryland's power comes from the brilliance of the firmament. ”
"Wait, Mr. Karatu," Fang Yu couldn't help but interrupt the other party, "You mean that Maryland's power is the same as the Radiance of the Firmament in me?" ”
He couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, such a pure dark power in Maryland's body, no matter how he looked at it, there was no resemblance to the blue light on his body. But Caratu explained, "I mean the source of Maryland's power. Most of the strength he gained later came from Lifgard and Andro. ”
"You're saying that Maryland was originally like me, using the power of the Radiance."
"He's far worse than you," Karatu replied, looking at him, "his radiance comes from a remnant of the Sacred Sword Moa, and yours comes from half of the Celestial Crown." However, Maryland is gathering the power of the Radiance, it should be certain. ”
"But what is the power of the Radiance?"
Fang Yu was full of doubts about the power that had exploded in his body at this time, but he could not grasp it.
"According to my guess," Karatu said, "it is supposed to be the origin of the Aether of Light, a power close to the essence of starlight, even purer than the divinity itself—in fact, I don't know how the gods sealed such power into these four relics. ”
"It's just the reason why the elves and gods left these holy relics in Aitalia, and after a long investigation, I think I have some clues."
"It's not what people imagined, reserved for mortals to fight against the dark dragon."
"It's ......"
"In response to the arrival of the evil star."
The moment Fang Yu heard this answer.
Before he could react, he saw a page of light unfold in front of him.
'The event was over, and the experience was recorded - 7,5000 points. ’
'Acquired a new event catalogue - Elven Relic. ’
'The higher-level event directory has been updated, and the third scourge has arrived. ’
A silver stream of light slowly flowed down from the light page, describing every word on it.
And Fang Yu only watched this scene quietly.
