Little by little, the light of the silver circle disappeared, and the circular square was surrounded by a pattern of silver glow, which was returning to silence and darkness.

The hall went dark.

The tower keeper stood in the center of the square, gently lowering his hand. And Odin stood not far away, watching Anlother look up at the wall in front of him that was inlaid with countless wooden doors of all kinds. The tower keeper was dressed in a white robe in the dark, emitting a glowing reflection.

He didn't look back, but suddenly walked forward in front of the crowd, and walked straight to the tall circular wall, and then disappeared into the wall between the two doors as if he had passed through.

Everyone looked at this scene and couldn't help but look at each other. "Where did he go?" Someone turned around and asked.

"I don't know." Odin shook his head as well.

Although he had the most contact with the tower keepers, he couldn't say that he knew this 'elf'.

The guardian has always been mysterious, and like this Hall of a Thousand Gates, the other party has been the guardian of this place for more than a century. And it was a century ago, because people with earlier memories have long since passed away, and maybe it will be longer.

The people will never understand what the aborigines think, so they will no longer ask questions.

After all, the Earth and Aitaria have different codes, cultures, and traditions, not to mention that this is a world with true gods, and strong beliefs can change the behavior of the locals, and the guardians of the ancient saints, such as the Lizardmen, are still alive today.

Or whether this 'elf' is also the spokesman of a certain god in the mortal world, it is not known.

The man looked at it for a moment, then turned back and asked, "So we're just waiting?" ”

"Wait and see," replied the other, "I have heard that time passes much slower inside the door than outside, but it can be as fast as seven or eight days, or as slow as a week or two, and most people should come out at this time." ”

"And how long did it take Loofah to do in the first place?" The man asked.

"A week." Odin replied.

A week, no more, no less, just right.

The man beckoned, and a chair floating in the void above his head flew in and landed in his hand. He pulled out a chair, sat down on it, stretched and said, "It's okay, it's a vacation." ”

The person who answered before couldn't help but joke when he heard it: "It sounds like the end of the wind doesn't have a holiday." ”

"Haha," the man laughed, "that's not as good as your top ten guilds." ”

He asked, "How long do you think this kid will take?" ”

The others shook their heads.

Who said this well, and if it is fast, it is not necessarily good, of course, if it is too slow, it must be bad. Those who stay in the world behind the door for more than two weeks are more likely to be stuck in a certain level for too long and finally have to give up.

Even if it barely passes, the next level with higher difficulty will be daunting.

Of all the people, only Leia never spoke.

The man turned his head, looked at Ms. Douding who was holding the big shield with both hands, and asked, "Little Ninth Sister, what do you think?" ”

Leia shook her head solemnly, "I don't jump to conclusions," she replied in a serious tone, "but I believe in Ed, he is not only talented, but also very serious, and serious people will always be rewarded." ”

This is really a standard Xiao Jiu-style answer, fans like to see her serious appearance that does not match her cute appearance, in fact, everyone who knows her is keen on it, and the club behind it is also happy to set up a selling point for people.

But in fact, for 'September', this is her temperament, and the reason why she chose Paparals is because they are cute.

What's so strange about girls liking cute things, although she is always very serious, but she also has a girl's heart.

"By the way, what about Odin?"

"He was still there."

Suddenly people noticed that there was one person missing, and when they looked back, someone said, "I seemed to see his communication crystal light up, and then he went aside." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the people saw the king of warriors hurrying back, with a solemn expression on his face. Everyone saw that something seemed to be happening, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”

Odin shook his head slightly.

He replied, "Something has happened to the Star Gate, and the guild has urgently summoned us back. ”

Everyone was stunned, and then they checked their communication crystals, some people originally turned off the communicator, but when they opened it at the moment, they saw that all kinds of news were pouring in like a tide. The people's faces changed dramatically and they raised their heads:

"Really, I have it too."

"I have it too."

"I was sent an email by the guild."

"Take a look at the community."

"Don't look at it, there's no news from the community." Odin replied, apparently he had already seen it.

"So what now?" People can't help but ask.

"Of course, the guild's affairs must be dealt with first," Odin thought for a moment and replied, "but someone here must stay as well." He turned his head and looked at Leia: "Xiao Jiu, you stay, and I will explain it to your guild." ”

Léa nodded slightly.

"I'm sorry for you, Xiao Jiu."

Leia blinked her long eyelashes lightly and replied, "Don't bother, the seniors had a common agreement, and the discovery of new people is also for the future of those who have chosen us like us." ”

"It's good that you understand," Odin nodded, and then said to everyone, "Come back to Dulun with me first, Ragnarok has an airship there, and I will arrange for someone to send you away." "He arranged everything, the previous generation said that he had the posture of a leader, and after becoming the Ten Kings, he really became a banner in the domestic division, and he was on a par with the president of Silver Vislan, Dawn.

And at this moment, it was just a natural outpouring, and everyone responded one after another, and began to pack up their things and prepare to leave.

Odin took one last look at the wall inlaid with countless wooden doors of various shapes, exchanged a look with Leia, and then led the group away.

Lady Peeding watched in silence as they vanished into the darkness, and the square fell silent again, leaving her alone. But she was not afraid, only faintly worried about the matter of the Star Gate, and stood motionless in place by herself holding the big shield.

……

The World Behind the Door –

Fang Yu watched with some wonder as the paper-thin red gold plates in his hand flew out one by one, twisted and folded, overlapping each other, forming a winding spiral ladder that led to the ceiling overhead.

Until the last of the red gold plates was closed at the end of the spiral staircase, and then like a gust of wind blew from the window at the end of the corridor, blowing the paper all over the ground and raising his hair.

The open giant book also turned the pages with a clatter, and finally the heavy title page closed gently, and silently, only dust rose.

It was at this moment that the door overhead made a soft sound, like a key inserted into the lock hole, and the small sound of the machine popping open, but in this quiet room, it was very clear. The door opened—Fang Yu took out the pocket watch from his bosom, flicked open the case, and counted a quarter of an hour (that is the pocket watch used by earthlings, and the unit of timekeeping used by the earth is naturally used).

He couldn't help but pause, this is a simple calculation, even if you don't count the increase in the difficulty of the room after that, use this time to calculate, wouldn't it take him half a year to get out of this hall of a thousand doors?

Fang Yu scratched his head a little embarrassed.

He found himself forgetting to ask a crucial question, Odin said he was going to stay in the world behind this door for a long time, but he forgot to ask, how long was it? If it's more than half a year, isn't the daylily cold?

Is it possible to quit early?

However, Odin said that he should go to the Continental League, which will be held in four months, presumably no later than that, or did he take much longer than the average person to make the other party's speculation wrong?

However, Fang Yu looked around, felt that there should be no one to answer his question, thought for a while, and still stepped on the spiral ladder and walked up step by step.

The second door.

Behind the door is also a huge room, but the space of this room is very different from the first room, which is narrow and longitudinal, while the space of this room extends vertically upwards, and even has a ceiling that is even deeper than the first.

You can barely see the head at a glance.

The room was filled with all sorts of crystals, but mostly purple.

When Fang Yu saw these crystals, he understood the test of this level - extracting ether.

This is also one of the compulsory courses for alchemist apprentices, the aether theory is the basic theory of all alchemy, and even magic, whether it is an alchemist, a magician, an elemental, or even a naturalist, the first lesson they have to learn is the knowledge of aether.

But the casters learn what the aether is, and the alchemists learn how to obtain and manipulate the aether so that the magic of the aether is subordinate to the dictates of the runes.

Extraction is the first lesson to get started.

He picked up the crystal ......

And as he guessed, this level is not simple, when he was an apprentice in Kapka, he was not good at extraction, he can only say that he is passable, but this is passable, which makes him suffer a lot of trouble in this level.

The ether extracted from the crystal forms a bridge of magic, but the length of the bridge depends on the amount of magic he extracts from the crystal. But he tried everything he could, but he could only make the bridge of magic extend to a long way from the end.

Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little stunned by this scene.

He thought to himself that he would not hang up at the second level, which would be too embarrassing, so he picked up the crystals one after another, extracted them again, and extended the bridge about two or three meters away.

But there is still a gap of two meters.

Fang Yu gestured, it was impossible to jump two meters high anyway, and then grabbed the door and opened it - not to mention that the door had not yet opened.

So he began extracting for the third time, and this time, it finally paid off—not because he had an epiphany about extraction and suddenly ascended—but because he realized that he had taken one less box of crystals.

Fang Yu almost didn't see a black in front of him, and hit his head on the wall. As a result, the box of crystals was not used at all, less than a third of it was used, and he walked out of the room.

Half an hour –

The third door is material refining.

This time, Fang Yu learned his lesson, did not repeat the mistakes of the past, and had a smooth journey and reached the next level.

Besides, purifying materials is different from extraction, and the so-called art industry has specialization, and he is quite confident in this regard. After all, he was originally in charge of this work in the Dawn Star, and the repair of the magic guide was indispensable for the acquisition of materials.

This time, it only took him seven and a half minutes, and he was done.

The fourth door is another carving array.

Even the furnishings in the room here are similar to the first room, except that this time it is no longer a single array, and the dense drawing on the big book is a ring array—and the ring array is another name for a double composite array.

The appearance of the compound array symbolized a leap in the history of alchemists, and the more complex and large-scale alchemy arrays that appeared later were nothing more than variants of the compound array, whether it was a structure with three layers, four layers, or even more than ten layers.

But at the end of the day, the essence is not much different from the ring array.

However, the difficulty of the composite array is obviously a notch higher than that of the single array, especially when the accuracy of more than 95% is required, and its difficulty is even more geometrically improved.

This time, even Fang Yu made several mistakes, and it took him an hour and a half to complete the last red gold plate conscientiously, and when the red gold plate closed to become the last step of the spiral ladder, he couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat.

This is only the fourth level.

Fang Yu raised his head, and he couldn't help but feel some awe of this place in his heart.

Characters, single array.

Extraction, purification.

These are all tests of the craftsman's foundation.

But the foundation of the craftsman is the cornerstone of all higher-level alchemy. When he was studying in Kapka, he was admonished more than once.

And in the test here, the requirements for the foundation are almost harsh, which makes him feel like this. Alchemy is actually composed of many different links, and each link is the foundation of these so-called, and each link is a little bit of improvement-

When they finally form a system, the benefits are often enormous.

Just the four levels of the test made Fang Yu feel some insights.

But he vaguely grasped something, but the feeling was not obvious.

He looked up at the spiral staircase leading to the next level, and had a strange thought in his heart - maybe this was not just a test, but also a way to hone himself. It's just that I don't know what every craftsman who has experienced this post-world in the past - including the genius Loofah - what they experienced and experienced at that time?

As for Fang Yuan, there was only some happiness in his heart.

Most of the Drafters don't pay much attention to the basics because they have a Drafters system. But his experience in Kapka laid a solid foundation for this moment, and he made up his mind before moving forward.

The communication crystal on his chest flickered slightly, but quickly dimmed.

……

Far South Tree Sea, on the airship 'Sturgeon'.

The airship was swaying through the clouds, and the air was sweeping in its face, curling the long hair of the 'girl' on the deck.

In the hearts of fans, this queen is still about a girl, but she thinks that she may be old.

The delicate lady was tapping the dark red communication crystal with her white fingers, holding her cheeks in one hand, and her eyes were full of boredom. She crouched over the side of the ship, looking at the light veil-like clouds below, and the endless sea of trees beneath the clouds.

There is Nognes, a thousand thousand seven hundred kilometres from the port of the Kings at Cape Saint-Huyen.

Looking down from above, you can occasionally see cliffs, waterfalls and white clouds looming from the clouds.

But she has long been accustomed to these beautiful scenery, she is no longer the little girl who is shocked by everything, and the predecessors who have taken her through these areas have also left this world one by one.

Now it's her turn.

She sighed softly, drawing the attention of others.

On the communication crystal, the messages sent in the past were all lost, she was not surprised at all, thinking that the funny little guy must have entered the hall of a thousand doors, Odin is so resolute, how can he have time to spare?

Poor little one, her mood brightened all at once.

So I moved on to another ID:

"In?"

"Here you are, Sister Hades."

The community portrait that made people feel a little depressed when they saw it lit up all of a sudden, and the painting style of that avatar was about the so-called mourning culture. Looking at this avatar, he couldn't help but shake his head—he couldn't understand the things of these young people.

She's probably really old.

The ID of the avatar is Lofaah, but I know that this girl is a master of vests.

She has quite a few fans, but not many people who really know her – or even meet her.

But the underworld is about one, although the other party doesn't seem to have much respect for her as a 'teacher' - there are gags. She shook her heart for a moment before asking:

"Do you remember what happened to the Hall of a Thousand Doors?"

"Sister Ming, please hug and kiss!"

A young girl rolling on the ground suddenly appeared in her mind, and her eyebrows rose suddenly: "Go away, dead girl." ”

"Oops, why did you bring that up again?"

"I'm asking you about business, be serious," Shen said angrily, "Tell me about the original situation." ”

"There's nothing to say, it's pretty simple, it's basically basic," Loofah replied, "but it's a bit of a hassle for the Electors, and it will take a little more time." Fortunately, the time flow rate inside is different from that outside, with an average of two or three hours for a door, and the average person should have passed. ”

"I'm not asking about ordinary people, I'm asking about you."

"Well," Loofah sent a grinning emoji, "Trade secrets, Sister Hades." ”

"Stinky girl."

On the circular square of the Hall of a Thousand Gates.

Leia looked up suddenly, and a drop of water rolled down from the void above and landed on her smooth head, with a click, splashing everywhere. She rubbed her forehead a little cutely, spread out her palms, and looked at her wet little hands.

I thought it was starting to rain outside.

And not far away.

The hourglass placed on the ground flipped around and began to recount.

The time outside the door has walked the first scale - half an hour.
