"Tinder. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ian muttered. He was all too familiar with the term. There have been many interpretations of this word in the last life, but these interpretations all point to the great significance of the world.

The source of all wisdom, the dawn of all civilization.

It encompasses both the beginning and the continuation, and is fundamental to what makes human beings the masters of all things, different from other beings.

It is the authority that man has stolen from God.

"No wonder those people are called fire stealers. Ian sighed. In this world, human beings actually have to fight for the fire in the hands of demons. This is a surprising irony.

"Is there no other fire in the territory of the empire?"

"The flame is the flame that burns in the heart cup, which has spread out since the heart cup was broken 1,200 years ago and has been scattered to all corners of the world. Khan Parks let out a sneer, as if mocking the young man's innocence: "After so many years, basically everything that can be found in human territory has been found. If there were still in the territory, who would want to risk their lives and run outside the circle to find it?"

"Then why, why not let the strongest find the source crystal?" Ian ignored the other party's taunt and asked the question he was most concerned about.

He will never forget the scene when Fei'er stood above the clouds, such an inhuman existence far above the superior power, even natural disasters can be wiped out. Wouldn't it be safer and more effective for them to go outside the circle to find the source crystal?

However, in the face of this question, the mockery on the corner of Khan Parkes's mouth became more and more intense: "Because they have more important responsibilities." ”

"Follow me. Without waiting for Ian to ask again, he turned and walked higher. Ian frowned, but didn't feel any discomfort from the other man's taunt, just followed closely.

He knew what was up there, and the one that stood atop the tower was the ultimate defense of the North: the Prismatic Cannon.

Khan Parks had pinned his hopes on using it to ward off natural disasters at the last moment.

The sight at the top of the Falling Star Tower dazzled Ian's eyes.

The top of the tower seems to be an inverted semicircle, made of glass-like crystals, which allows people inside the tower to see the scene outside the tower.

The bright moon hung high, the stars were brilliant, and looking around along the side wall, the entire Northern Regions City was actually included in the view.

In the center of the top of the tower is a high platform, and on this high platform is a huge cannon with a silver and white body. The cannon looked like an astronomical telescope from the previous generation. Naturally, Ian, who was lonely and unheard, couldn't tell what kind of metal this silver cannon was made of, but just looking at this silver glow, he knew that it was definitely worth a lot, far beyond imagination.

"How's it going?" Khan Parks walked over to Ian's side and smiled smugly, "This is my supreme masterpiece, the ultimate weapon created by combining all the current source crystal technologies. ”

"Can this thing really kill a scourge?" Ian asked curiously.

"I don't know, because the cost of using it is too huge, so I haven't tried it so far. Khan Parks sighed helplessly, then narrowed his eyes and said confidently: "But I believe that it will definitely fulfill my original intention of casting it!"

"The price?" Ian chewed on the word. Lately, he's been too sensitive to the word.

"Yes, the price. Khan Parks nodded: "If you use it once, you will consume all the energy of a source crystal, and that source crystal will have to be silent for a whole year before it can recover again." ”

Then he added, "And in the Northern Regions, there is only such a source crystal. ”

"Just kidding. Ian couldn't help but be speechless: "Such a weapon?"

A source crystal's energy can maintain the operation of a domain, and this giant cannon can actually blast out such a huge amount of energy in a single cannon? And the blasting out is not over, the Northern Regions will lose all the energy supply in the next year, and even more deadly, it will lose the protection of the Mental Image!

"There's no way around it, it's just a weapon after all, it's not as flexible as the Strongest, and that's the only way to do it now. Khan Parkes coughed slightly in embarrassment, since the cannon came out, everyone who knew about the characteristics of this cannon would complain about it.

"Despite such a huge weakness, his power is definitely worth looking forward to. He quickened his pace, as if desperate to salvage some image for his work: "At least in the last moment, it might save everything." ”

"So what are you going to do in the next year, let the demon tide flood the northern regions?"

"As long as there are no natural disasters, then with the manpower of the Northern Regions, there should be no problem in keeping it for a year. ”

"I hope the situation will be as optimistic as you say. Ian complained weakly, and then turned back to the previous topic: "By the way, Your Excellency, you haven't told me why you didn't let the strongest person go outside the circle to find the source crystal?"

"What do you think is humanity's greatest enemy?" the Grand Duke chuckled again at the question.

"Devil. Ian casually said the answer that was known to the whole world, but after a moment, he was suddenly stunned: "You mean...... Acts of God?"

"That's right, it's a natural disaster. Khan Pax nodded, "As I said before, the Source Crystal is only one of the two necessary conditions for the human race to regain the territory. ”

"Maybe the lower-class people and even the ordinary nobles don't know, in fact, although the source crystals are rare, there are as many as 7 in the imperial capital. But even so, humanity has no intention of counterattacking the demons and expanding their territory. ”

Speaking of which, Khan Pax asked, "Do you know why?"

"Do you mean...... Is it because you can't hold it?" Ian muttered for a moment, then uttered his guess.

"That's right. Can't hold it. Khan Parkes nodded: "Do you think that if your teacher hadn't shown up a few months ago, what would the Northern Regions be like now, or will the Northern Regions still exist?"

A wry smile crossed Ian's lips, and everyone knew the answer.

"Four hundred years ago, for the first time in human history, there were four supreme beings in the same period. Seeing the boy fall silent, Khan Parks began to quietly tell a story that seemed unrelated to the present.

The youngest of them was the prince of the empire at the time, and later Charles the Great. ”

"At that time, the prince learned the truth that the royal family kept more source crystals, and believed that humans should fight back against the demons and reclaim the territory that belonged to humans. ”

"But the emperor at the time, His Majesty Claire, did not approve of this. So Charles the Great proposed a trial in order to convince his father. ”

"Her Majesty Claire agreed to his request after hearing about the trial, because he thought that even if his son had become a supreme power, it would never be possible to pass the trial. ”

"And this trial is what has been passed down since then......"

"Trio's Judgment!"
