Chapter 1680: In the Ark
The fortress in the sky is starting to glow!
This is the first impression of most witnesses. Then the city of Elichar became even more chaotic.
Generally speaking, this kind of ancient decisive battle weapons and the like, once it shines, it will definitely do something big. Even if you haven't seen the world, you still have such an instinctive cognition that belongs to living beings.
Actually, it's not that serious, and the glowing fortress is just a light on. Moreover, no matter how riotous the appearance of this ancient fortress is, after all, it is also prepared for war, and it is impossible to have so many flashy floor-to-ceiling windows, nor can it be like those large figures in theme parks, which are eager to hang a few tubes of neon lights in every window frame and in the gully of each eaves. It's just that those lights shine through the doors and windows to the outside, and then echo the magical light curtain on the entire periphery of the fortress, which does produce the illusion that "the fortress is glowing".
As for the big guys who were in the fortress and had just activated the light source, they didn't know what kind of impact and chaos they had brought to the outside, but now they were standing in the grand hall, looking at the magnificent murals of the surrounding city walls, looking at the huge pillars like mountains, stepping on the smooth stone floor as if they were on a square, and they couldn't see their heads for a while.
"Is this the Ark of the Heavens? Although I was mentally prepared, when I actually got here, I always felt that we were like ants that had accidentally crawled into the ancient temple. Lady Ovilia said.
"At that time, the Titans, Dragons, and Faeries were mainly responsible for the garrison and armament of the Spiral Fortress, and it is understandable that it has such a scale." Master Gold said. Although it was the first time for him to come, he was also shocked in his heart, but he knew that he was now the backbone of everyone and the mastermind of this incident.
"But how can we harness its power?" Ovilia said, "There are no living people here anymore, so it's impossible to summon a Titan ghost and ask them to help me activate the magic core, right?" β
"It's not funny in a place like this, though I've known you're the type......" Gold sighed helplessly, and made his way through the hall.
"You seem familiar with the structure here."
"The family didn't just leave this." He raised the violet authority in his hand and tapped his temple with his staff: "I also left a detailed map and all the research efforts of the past dynasties. Of course, only those known to the ancestors. This city is the crystallization of all the wisdom of the ancient ancestors, even if the heroes who guarded it in ancient times were resurrected, they can't say that they understand it all, let alone an unscrupulous descendant like me. However, I still know some of the important locations and the way there. β
Led by Gold, the group walked through an open-air promenade.
They could already see the blazing Olahelan and the noisy Elichar, so naturally they could guess what was happening, and many of them showed worried and panicked looks, and frequently looked at the old people in the lead.
However, as if they had not seen this scene, they continued to move forward with firm steps.
The retainers had no choice but to follow again.
However, when everyone passed through the open-air corridor, passed through several large buildings that I don't know if they were palaces or fortresses, and entered a passageway, worry and panic even turned into panic.
In front of them, this long corridor is almost endless, the width and height are more than ten meters, the floor is inlaid with blue stone bricks, crystal clear, as if the best jade, and there is a simple and elegant ancient palace lamp hanging every five meters on the ceiling.
Such a magnificent corridor, even if it is placed in Yongchen Palace, it is not timid. However, everyone present did not have the heart to admire these spectacles, and almost every one of them pressed their hands on their blades, breathed heavily, and walked cautiously, intently observing the huge metal statues that stood on either side of the porch.
No, it shouldn't be a statue. As the confidants and retainers of the two Arcane Gate lords, they are insightful, capable, and experienced, even if they are not spellcasters, but they also have at least magical knowledge and discernment. These gorgeous and majestic metal creations, even if they are placed in the hall of the Yongchen Palace, they will never show their timidity, where are the statues, they are clearly giant war puppets.
"Master ......"
"Don't worry. There's no power, there's no controller, they're just decorations! Let's get down to business first. Gold said in a positive voice.
He was still calm and calm, although he knew that even if the puppet here only jumped out of tenth, it would be enough to wipe out the big guy more than a dozen times, so he was really panicked in his heart. However, as the head of the gate lord aristocracy and the general of the federal ruling class, if nothing else, the skills of bluffing must be full.
"Keep going!" Gold exclaimed.
The old mage's prestige among these people was still very high, so everyone had no choice but to continue to follow.
Seeing that everyone seemed to be still afraid, Gold explained as he spoke: "In the early war, the losses of the Titans, True Dragons, and Faeries were too heavy, and later the Spiral Fortress had to absorb troops from other races, which were the elves, dwarves, and us humans. Of course, those who can enter the Spiral Fortress must be the real powerhouses, the elites of the hundred clans, but this amount of troops still can't completely protect the fortress. The ancient kings of the Titans and Dwarves only began to make war golems in large quantities, and it is said that at most there were more than 100,000 of them, all of which were now degraded into autonomic puppets that we could hardly imagine. They are beautiful, powerful, commanding, but fearless of life and death, and the ark provides them with endless power. They are truly the most perfect war props. After the War of the Gods, the Spiral Fortress escaped into the Aetheric Sea, and the golems lost their motivation and controllers, falling into an eternal sleep. Whoever is the owner of this fortress is their master......"
The eyes of the retainers gradually became feverish.
100,000 units! Now in the whole Federation and even in the world, even if you count the number of those rudimentary clay products, it is still a matter of two questions. And look at the shape of these big guys, they are so powerful and gorgeous at first glance, which is completely in line with their simple cognition of "the more gorgeous the stronger" in their hearts. Even if there are no 100,000 units, even if only one-tenth is left, it is enough to change the situation of the war.
No, not just the current state of the civil war. This is clearly a power that can dominate the world!
"However, they are only an addition to the power of the Spiral Fortress itself." Ovilia laughed.
"Yes...... However, in reality, I don't know exactly what this fortress can do. Gold said.
"We'll find out soon."
"Hope...... We do know right away. Gold sighed.
They had come to a great bronze gate. Several strong samurai stepped forward to push, but they did not move as best they could. Gold stepped forward and brought the odd-shaped staff in his hand to the door, pressing it lightly against a patterned notch.
"Buzz!" The gate from 10,000 years ago made a wonderful resonance and then turned into an even more shocking grinding sound. The two metal doors of the future generations slowly opened in front of everyone's eyes.
Seeing this magical scene, everyone was not surprised, but even more excited. This means that their masters really seem to have the means to control this ancient and legendary city.
Behind the huge bronze door, the eye is still greeted by a hall full of classical charm, although the area is still huge, but at least the size should not make people too panicked. At least, everyone can already see the tables, chairs, stairs, consoles and other facilities, which should be more in line with the size of a normal person like them. Although the consoles that seem to be particularly complex are a bit more sci-fi than most people's imagination, they seem to be a little more complex than control centers such as magic crystal cannons and guide ships.
Okay, that's a bit of a lot, but at least you can tell what it's for.
"The supreme commander of the Ark of the Sky was the Titans King Aeosus, but he then handed over supreme control of the fortress to the later elves and human commanders, who were also the two lieutenants of the fortress at that time."
"Mithril Princess Edvina Doyin and Saroman Charante, Sage of the North." Ovilia was silent for a moment, and said the two names.
The princess from the last unified dynasty of the mortal elves, and the human archmage from the polar ice fields, plus the ironback dragon queen Vigon, and the king of fairy birds, Ehamel, formed the supreme command of the defenders of the Spiral Fortress at that time.
β¦β¦ The dwarves still lack a sense of accomplishment!
"If I wanted to ask if the ancestors of the Wilanbat family had anything to do with them, you probably wouldn't have said it, would you? Rumors like this have been going on for at least hundreds of years, but it seems that none of you have answered them positively. Lady Ovilia laughed.
"Heh, it's almost 20,000 years ago. Mountains and rivers are broken, sea water is pouring in, the sun and moon are gone, the gods have fallen, and I don't know how many kingdoms and races have been completely destroyed, and I don't know how many histories and legends have been submerged. Even the great land of the gods, Urke, has become a storm cape that is now hit by tsunamis and strong winds all year round, the fertile Irion Basin has been transformed into the Great Lakes, and the great river that once crossed the continent has become the current Hegalos Mountains. How can something so long ago be explained clearly? β
Speaking of this, Old Gold clenched the staff in his hand with some reserve, and said calmly: "However, since we have the opportunity now, it is our opportunity. β
He walked to the high platform in the center of the console, his steps were a little hesitant, but as he reached the high platform, his steps became more and more composed. The old mage looked at the center of the platform, took a deep breath, and looked at the grooves on the platform, and at the holes on itβholes with strange shapes like keyports.
If it is really another place, nearly 20,000 years of time, not to mention ashes, the erosion of weathering alone is enough to bury everything here in the sea of sand. However, this high platform, the holes here, are still as bright as new.
Gold Wielambart gritted his teeth, clenched his "staff" hard, pointed its tip at the hole, and pressed it in.
"Click!" The hole seemed to suddenly come to life, instantly biting the end of the staff, and then locking it up with a fluctuating sound of a machine spring.
Gold closed his eyes and was silent, but the whole person seemed to be infused with infinite energy, and even his cheeks seemed to have a little more vitality.
"We, we succeeded...... Is it? Ovilia walked behind old Gold, and seeing that the other party had not moved, she finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Yes! It worked, and sure enough...... The so-called scepter of wisdom, the so-called authority of Wielambat, is the key to the activation of this heavenly ark! This is the legacy left by the ancestors to the Wilambat family! I, indeed, am a descendant of the great Northern Sages, with the blood of the divine fairies flowing in my veins! His beard was spread out, and he let out a high-spirited laugh, and his gray eyes were bloodshot, and even his wrinkled and withered face was full of vigor and madness.
"We succeeded, Ovilia, and I'm ...... now Feel the real power! β
And then why did your style drop so low all of a sudden? It's like a bandit who has been forced to hide in a cave for ten days and is about to starve to death, and suddenly dug out a basket of doughnuts from the hole.
Lady Ovillea smiled dryly and left the other party half a step.
"This, power, huh? Aside from the feeling of getting back to light, I really didn't notice too much. β
"Uh...... Sorry, a bit of a gaffe. Master Gold seemed to realize that his personality had collapsed a little, and he hurriedly coughed, re-concave his vicissitudes of life and full of wisdom, and said slowly in his usual calm tone: "However, I can indeed feel the power flowing into my veins, and the spirit filling my soul and my senses...... It has spread to the end of this heavenly ark. Now, Ovilia, I am the master of the city of Lerensac. No...... I've become one with Lerensack! β
"Yes, is that so?" Seeing that the other party seemed to be back to normal, Lady Ovilia nodded suspiciously.
"But that's why I've finally been able to find the rats that have been snooping on us and stalking us. Is that so? Russell Clement! β
