Nevard at night is particularly charming.

On the railing of the inn terrace, the moonlight shimmered through the treetops. In the distance, a sparkling lake, dark and dreary, reflecting the shape of clouds, slowly passed west of Idus—the end of the mountain, in which the mountains at the bottom of the cave slowly merged with the earth.

Beneath the clouds is the beginning of the Desert of Idus, the silvery dunes of the sand also reflected in a cold moon. But it was out of sight, and it was far west of Van Rik, across the Long Lake, to reach that area.

Fang Plover could only imagine the sea of sand that existed in the dreamland, the hometown of the traveler's master, Mazak and Lady Misu, the land of the dragon. He withdrew his gaze and listened to the singing of the goblins coming from the direction of the inn.

'The silver moon is shining, the clouds are shining, and the river is hanging in the sky;

An alchemist, clumsy and clumsy, came to the outskirts of Nevad......

At night, the inn in the trees resembles a nest of light, and the warm light flows from the windows everywhere, like a trickling river, flowing to the waterwheels outside the forest, and the reverberation.

Miss Nightstar's voice was particularly evident in the inn.

They were making fun of him again, causing the guests to laugh – for most of the guests today knew him, or had taught him this week. Fang Yu also looked back, listening to the noise in the hotel, but he only smiled lightly, and he was not annoyed.

"The Hall of a Thousand Doors is part of the Silver Tower, which stores knowledge, and challenges are just the only way for people to gain knowledge......"

"Not every kind of knowledge is suitable for this world, it needs to carefully choose a truly suitable master, and the original intention of the Silver Tower was to protect the unknown mysteries of the guardians."

Miss Tata sat quietly on her knees on the railing, her eyes shining with the light of the stars.

"Fairy Dragon Soul is also one of them?"

"The Fairy Dragon Soul is also one of them."

"Miss Tata, do you have any suggestions?"

"There is no point in suggesting, Mr. Knight only needs to remember one thing, there are many sides to knowledge, but that is just a different path in the process. Everyone sees and hears differently in the Hall of a Thousand Doors, but most of them pursue the same truth. ”

Fang Yu listened as if he understood but did not understand. Tata stood up, gently placed his little hand on the back of his hand, and asked, "Mr. Knight, still don't you understand?" ”

Fang Yu nodded.

"I'm sorry, but Tata doesn't have enough knowledge—"

"But I don't know how to describe the Hall of a Thousand Doors more succinctly."

“…… That's enough, Miss Tata," Fang replied gently, "If you want Miss Tata for everything, then what do you want me to do?" I've learned a lot this week, and we're going to face everything in the Hall of a Thousand Doors together. ”

He paused: "Whatever that is." ”

Tata quietly felt the sincerity in his words.

She looked up at her knight.

"Miss Tata?" Fang Yu suddenly asked, "There is a question that I have always wanted to ask you. ”

"How?"

"Do you know what we're here for?"

"Know." Miss Fairy bowed slightly.

Fang Yu replied, "It seems to me that 'you' are not too resistant to 'us', and the locals who call us the Chosen One do not seem to be too strange to our existence. But in fact, the purpose of 'we' is to come to this world to acquire knowledge, and this knowledge is obtained from the 'starlight'......"

“…… I don't quite know how to explain it to you. ”

"We think of Aitalia as an information-based world, or rather, a sea of stars. Everything in this world is made up of what we call 'Starlight', including you and me......"

"These starlight exhibit completely different properties in the two worlds. In Aitaria it is the composition of life, but in our world, scientists and scholars have analyzed a rare structure from the starlight, believing that there is some knowledge and technology hidden in it that is far beyond our time. ”

"We believe that it is the inheritance of a higher civilization, and that it may be the precursor of Aitalia, the age of what you call the Saints. So we came into this world to grab this knowledge. ”

"We record our experiences, knowledge, and observations in this world through a device called 'Glow Matter', and leave with them," Fang Yu looked at Miss Goblin and took a light breath: "Miss Tata, Aitalia is an informational world, isn't it disintegrating the foundation of this world when we take away information?" ”

"I don't think you don't know this, why is Miss Tata so kind to us?"

Tata blinked somewhat quietly.

She replied, "I do know a little about what you said, Mr. Knight, but Mr. Knight don't worry. ”

Fang Yu looked at her with some surprise.

She turned around and replied, "If information is not exchanged, it is a dead sea, and you take the information with you, but you also bring the information." Mr. Knight should not ignore the fact that the moment you enter this world, the two worlds intersect, so your arrival is also pregnant with the growth of the Sea of Starlight. ”

She looked at Fang Yu and said, "People call you the Chosen One precisely because you are the chosen ones, receiving favors, but also bringing hope to our world. ”

"But there was a war between us."

"That's just a misunderstanding."

Fang Yu wanted to say something more, but Miss Fairy said softly: "In the last Holy Election Era, there was also such a situation, the people at the bottom did not know about you, the history of mortal memory is limited after all, so misunderstandings can easily arise - but it is precisely because of this that the temple will choose to continue to retain knowledge and continue the inheritance of the ancients to this day." ”

Fang Yu was a little surprised: "The last era of the Holy Election? ”

Tata shook his head, "I don't know, but there have been times like this in my intellectual memory. ”

Contemporary humans are not the first to set foot in Aitalia.

There was also the last Age of the Elected.

Fang Yu's heart was full of surprise.

He didn't know if he was lonely or if it was a shocking secret.

And the last Age of Election, will it be the human beings of the ancient era? His mind was filled with images of a bygone era, and there was no record of Aitalia in the history of mankind as he knew it.

So will it be an ancient civilization?

The first thing he thought of was those mysterious and ancient civilizations, Egypt, the two river valleys, and the mythical age of his own country, could it be that the mythical age of the two worlds was intertwined with each other. Humans set foot on this land thousands of years ago?

Not necessarily, though.

The universe is so vast, perhaps the last generation of the Chosen One did not come from the earth.

Unfortunately, Miss Tata doesn't know much about this, and there are only rare sources in the Silver Tower that record this, including the major temples that preserve the transmission of knowledge, and there are only rumors about the time when there are only a few words.

All it is known is that it was an era older than the Scourge of Essorin, long before the Second Calamity, and perhaps only the Sinsas Snake had lived through the last Age of the Elected.

"But what is certain," replied Tata, "is that there is a detailed description of the last Chosen Age in the Abyssal Scroll. ”

"The Abyssal Sea Scroll?" Fang Yu felt that it was not the first time he had heard of this term.

"It is an ancient epic preserved before the time of Esselin, and it is a thing of the Snake Man Empire, but unfortunately its original is only preserved under the deep sea, and not many people have really seen it."

The two were talking when the door to the hotel was pushed open.

Tata heard a rustle of footsteps coming from that direction, glanced back, and then stopped and whispered, "Someone's coming." Then she faded and disappeared over the railing. Fang Yu looked back at this time, only to find that it was the king of warriors who came over.

Odin walked up to him.

He held a cup in his hand, and didn't look at Fang Yuan, just pressed against the railing, enjoying the view of the Long Lake in the distance. But after a while, he turned around and asked, "Why aren't you in there, Xiao Jiu asked me where you went before?" ”

Fang Yu smiled bitterly: "They will pour me to drink-"

"It's really unproductive."

Odin suddenly stretched out his hand and handed over the cup in his hand.

Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and he glanced at the cup, the liquid in it reflected the moonlight—it reminded him of the elven gin he had drunk not long ago. But Odin saw his wary look before he replied, "It's just juice." ”

Fang Yu took the cup and looked at the king of warriors with a little surprise, probably not expecting the other party to be so kind.

"It's a nice view," Odin said, looking at the lake in the distance, and then looked back, "I'm pretty good at picking places." ”

Fang Yu was embarrassed to say that it was Miss Tata's choice—he couldn't find such a beautiful place.

But fortunately, the king of warriors didn't mean to do this, and only asked, "Do you remember what I said before, about the purpose of bringing you to the south?" ”

Fang Yu remembered something, and then nodded slightly.

Not long ago, Odin had told him that as long as he could last ten seconds under the opponent's hands, Odin would tell him what he was bringing him to the South for. And letting him enter the Hall of a Thousand Gates is obviously only part of this purpose.

But how easy is it to survive ten seconds under one of the Ten Kings?

He has fought with various bigwigs these days, and almost all of them have lasted more than ten seconds, and generally speaking, one or two moves are enough to take him down.

Of course, it mainly depends on the mood of each bigwig.

It was like seeing what was in his mind.

Odin suddenly spoke: "Tomorrow is the last day, what do you think?" ”

Fang Yu shook his head blankly, tomorrow is the seventh day, they will set off for the Tower of the End of Summer, and from there they will open the Hall of a Thousand Gates.

But until now, he didn't even know what kind of place the Thousand Gates Hall was, and how could he have any ideas? But when it comes to preparation, it's not that he didn't have to prepare, after all, he wasn't wasting time this week.

Odin was not surprised to see him shake his head, and then replied: "After you come out of the Hall of a Thousand Gates, you can go to Van Rik." If you want to ask me what purpose I am, then I want you to do one thing. ”

Fang Yu looked at the king of warriors and did not say no. "What's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal, just represent Ragnarok in the continental league."

Fang Yu paused for a moment before replying, "I said, I won't join any guilds. ”

"I know," Odin looked at him, "I'm not asking you to join Ragnarok, it's actually a pact between the Super Athletic League and the Kaurin-Ishurian royal family. The new king had just ascended the throne, and the prime minister's faction didn't want to be too embarrassed in the continental league, so they turned to the Elector—"

"The Super Athletic Alliance has instead assigned this commission to our major guilds," he continued, "You know that the major guilds usually have some faceless core craftsmen, and the Kaulin-Ishurian royal family is pinning its hopes on these people. ”

Fang Yu was silent when he heard it, and he understood it. But the other party inexplicably asked him to participate in a professional alchemist competition - although he has not participated in another identity, but this matter is also strange no matter how you look at it.

As Odin said, the major guilds all have their own core craftsmen who don't show up on weekdays, and newcomers who are secretly cultivated, Ragnarok's family has a big business, how can it be that they can't even take out a person, and they need to ask for him?

He always felt that the other party's answer was a bit perfunctory, or that there was something to say.

But he did have to go to Van Rik, where he had made an appointment with the others.

He looked at Odin and asked, "But the list of the Continental League has not been determined for a long time, and I am not from Ragnarok. ”

"That's not important," Odin shook his head, "It's just a small matter, as long as you are indeed from the Kaulin-Ishurian school of alchemy, and you have the relevant supporting documents." Someone else will arrange it for you. ”

"But I'm a combat craftsman," Fang Yu didn't reveal that he had participated in the Continental League once, after all, it was related to another deeper secret of his, and only asked, "Isn't it a bit unjustifiable for me to participate in the Continental League as a combat craftsman?" ”

Odin straightened up: "That's exactly what I brought you here for. ”

“？？？”

Fang Yu was confused.

"The Hall of a Thousand Doors claims to have as many as a thousand doors," Odin replied, looking at him, "You don't think you can complete this trial in one day, you must stay here for at least half a month." And these days I've commissioned Ann Lother to watch over you, and if you have the chance, you can learn something from that tower keeper—"

"Mr. Ann Loser?"

"The tower keeper and the master of Nevad are only one of his identities," Odin replied, "but there are many more to him, and you will know them in the future." One of his identities is the most outstanding goblin envoy in the Changhu region, known as the first person after Luo Zhen, and his alchemy is also quite clever. ”

He stopped, bent down to pick up a leaf, and with a flick of his hand, the leaf swirled and flew out.

Then, looking back, the King of Warriors continued: "If you can make him take a fancy to him and teach you something, you will benefit immensely in the future." But he shook his head again: "But there is little hope, Loofah didn't enter this adult's eyes in the first place, and I think it's hard for you-"

If it's hard, why do you say it?

Fang Yu had a black line, and he always felt that this person was specifically here to trouble him. But he also understood what the other party meant, even if it was a salted fish, at least he still had a little dream. In case it is taken by that big man, this is something that no one can say.

There are many strange people in Aitalia, and some secret skills and knowledge come from these people, and this tower keeper is obviously one of them.

However, he heard something different from Odin's words: "Mr. Odin, you are leaving?" ”

"Not yet," Odin replied, "but the others are not easy to say, everyone has their own business, but it is just a time to come to this place." You can't expect us to wait for you here for half a month - not to mention you, even the president of Silver Vislan, Dawn, doesn't have the face. ”

Fang Yu scratched his head.

It's been a rough week, but at least it's been fulfilling, and he certainly knows that there aren't many people who have the opportunity to be taught by so many top callers.

Maybe it was just a Loofah back then, and Loofah's later achievements are enough to prove how precious this opportunity is.

If he had the chance, he would certainly like to spend a little more time with these top drafters. What's more, although these bigwigs seem to be unreachable figures in the community on weekdays, they actually don't have much of a shelf.

When he got along with these people, he at least felt that it was much easier to deal with than the people of the Descendants of Flore, the Jeffrey Redcoats, and the Dragonfire Guild, and he was quite compatible with most of them.

And it can be seen that other people don't have much opinion of him, the 'half student'.

However, after listening to Odin's words, Fang Yu realized that he was purely a little whimsical. Almost all of these top Drafters have guilds behind them, and even freelance Drafters have a lot of work to do.

How could he stay for no reason and teach him a new person.

The other party can stay here and come, in fact, most of it is for the sake of the face of the king of warriors.

Fang Yu couldn't help but look at Odin who was standing aside, and the latter was silently looking at the lake in the distance, although the other party didn't ask his opinion and brought him from Dulun to this place, but what it brought to him was a real benefit.

Not to mention, just opening the hall of a thousand doors cost the tower keeper a favor owed to him. And how rare the human affection of these top aborigines is, Fang Yu obviously knows it in his heart.

Regarding Odin's moves, Fang Yu originally had some rebellious psychology in his heart - after all, no one wanted to lose his freedom, but at this moment, he looked at the king of warriors, and the resentment in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

"Okay."

He nodded slightly, and this was the only way to accede to Odin's request.

If it had been a few months ago, he would have been reluctant to live or die. However, after Fenris's reflection, he was actually not so panicked about his other identity, and he had already thought about how he should deal with the military.

And the opening day of the continental league, that is almost four months later, calculating the time, it should be enough.

Odin saw him nod, but there was not much relief in his eyes, and he only nodded silently.

"Besides," he finally spoke, "just be careful, the southern realm is in trouble now, and the muddy water like last time, before you have not increased your level, I suggest you stay away a little." ”

"This time you're meeting me." Odin replied, "But the trouble you have caused in Fenris's is not a small matter. Toragotos didn't bow down, you should know about it, and the people of the Blood Oath should be looking for traces of you in private—but they probably thought you were dead, and that's why I didn't tell the news of your reappearance this time. ”

These words, in fact, were also what Fang Yu himself was worried about, and he listened to them and nodded seriously. However, he heard Odin mention Fenris, and remembered the scene he had encountered at the Masunk Creek station before, and couldn't help but speak: "About the blood oath ......"

But Odin interrupted him: "I can tell you something about the Worship of the Dragons. However, you have to come out of the Hall of a Thousand Doors first, and if you don't behave satisfactorily, it's better to put this matter down early. ”

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and understood what Odin meant. It is not a trivial matter to be an enemy of the Dragon Worship Sect, if he doesn't have that strength, then put out this thought as soon as possible, so as not to put himself and others into it.

But how easy is it to let go? What's more, Fang Yu has never given up such a word easily in the dictionary.

It's just that he thought about it for a while, and closed his mouth, and everything spoke with facts, waiting until he came out of the trial of the Hall of a Thousand Doors. After all, since the incident of the Dawn Star, he no longer always boasts, because the boasting at that time failed to change everyone's fate in the end.

And teenagers have a moment to grow up after all.

Nothing was said all night.

Nevad foggy early morning.

It seemed to herald another sunny day.

Washing hands insisted that this was a good sign, because this day would be the first day Fang Yu went to the Hall of a Thousand Gates-

……
