Chapter 603: Helios

(Thank you, Ilwa, for obeying the leader of the alliance.)

What the hell is this?"

Huai Shi raised her hand, and heavy chains emerged from the void, shrouded in sparks and black smoke, revealing their own silhouette. It has completely merged with its own essentia armament, and it has no distinction from each other.

This alone makes the Rope of Sorrow far more complete than any other weapon, and even the Resentful Knife created by Huai Shi using the memories of the forger cannot catch up.

It is precisely because of this that Huai Shi is extremely surprised.

"Helios's invitation. ”

"It is the starting point of the pilgrimage of alchemists, and basically every alchemist should have heard of its existence, and also had a fear and longing for it. ”

"Will the Grand Master too?"

"Even the Great Grandmaster has grown step by step from an apprentice, right?"

Tong Ji thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, Mikhail did not accept Helios's invitation, but Garand, another Grand Master of the Stone Cauldron Society, did...... Beyond the question, in short, you can think of it as a chain that you get from a kitten, which is a quest item that, once triggered, will generate a legendary quest called 'Helios' Wish......"

Huai Shi's expression twitched.

Kitten that bastard!

All quest rewards are fucking props for other quests......

If you think about it, whether it's an identity card, a Nibelungen, or a chain, none of them are damn worry-free!

At that time, I was happy to think that I had taken advantage of it, but I didn't expect to be sold by this bastard!

Fortunately, I picked up the title of a prince and came back, which is not too much of a loss...... But this account will have to be settled with him no matter what happens in the future.

After scratching her head, Huai Shi let out a sigh of relief and calmed down.

"So, Helios' invitation, is it a chain?"

"To be exact, a puzzle set up by randomly scattered all over the territory, squandering miracles like rainβ€”the invitation itself is a perfect relic carrier, an empty shell. ”

Speaking of this, Kirihime smiled: "Before that, let's talk about Helios...... Helios Workshop, Helios Chariot, do you know anything about this?"

"Ah, one of the legendary Ten Workshops. Huai Shi scratched her head, "Even a few in the front row, but I don't know much." ”

"So you're still too serious, and it should be common sense for an alchemist...... So, let's start at the beginning. ”

Tong Ji leaned back, as if she had fallen to the ground, sat on the invisible sofa and chair, put on a comfortable position, and didn't care if Huai Shi was still stunned, and was about to start talking.

And Huai Shi was not to be outdone, sneered, sat back in the air, also leaned on the invisible seat, and even crossed his legs, leaned back comfortably, and hugged his hands.

Even Tong Ji was stunned in place, dumbfounded: "How did you do it?"

β€œ...... Zama step. ”

After a long time, Huai Shi squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, and looked away in embarrassment, her face already flushed.

"Poofhahahahaha. ”

Tong Ji had already laughed unceremoniously, almost wiping her tears, leaning forward and backwards, and couldn't help it: "Forget it, you better sit down." The first time someone walked in front of me, I couldn't talk about it at all......"

As she spoke, she pointed to her side, a void of air.

Huai Shi propped up her body on one leg and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at the air beside Tong Ji, reached out and touched it, and actually touched the touch of the faint sofa, and pressed it twice, it was indeed the sofa that was not wrong.

"How does this work?"

"Intangible things and tangible qualities, just a little trick in alchemy, don't look at it, you can't learn this. Kirihime propped her chin on her elbows and smiled.

Huai Shi thought about it and sat down tentatively.

Sit tight.

Right next to her.

Then I felt a little stiff.

"Aren't you getting any closer?" Tong Ji looked at him and asked curiously, "Are you about to sit outside?"

"Wordy!"

Huai Shi sat precariously and looked ahead without squinting: "Do you still want to talk about it?"

He shouldn't have sat here, he felt more tired than Zama's steps!

"Okay...... Where did we just go?"

So you're patronizing and teasing me, aren't you?

Huai Shi reminded unpleasantly: "Helios." ”

"Yes, Helios. ”

As if ignoring what happened, Tong Ji held on to the handrail that was only exclusive to herself, and said lazily: "There is nothing wrong with being one of the ten major workshops, but in essence, it does not belong to anyone, not even any resident alchemist, it itself is a miracle that is enough to make itself above countless alchemists, and it once belonged to the authoritarian relic of Olympus - some people may think that it is the chariot of the sun god Helios, but in fact it is Helios itself, can you understand?"

Huai Shi looked at it blankly, and quickly retracted her gaze: "What do you mean?"

"It means that the god Helios does not exist at all, it is the legendary Apollo's chariot of the sun, which itself is the carrier of the sun once cast by the gods of Olympus, the authoritative relic that once represented the authority of the scorching sun, the miracle of Olympus, this explanation is clear enough, right?"

Huai Shi was stunned for a long time, and finally reacted.

"That's right, so it can only continue to exist after the fall of the gods. By its own nature, you can think of it as a space station orbiting the orbit of the solar system, flying through the icy universe, staggering with the Earth's orbit every seventy-one years, allowing alchemists to visit.

Although this huge spatial scale is meaningless, it does gain great power by imitating the movement of the sun, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the embodiment of the sun.

It was a weapon of war created by the gods of Olympus to deal with the dangers of hell, and it was said that with a single blow, it was a superweapon that could destroy a continental plate!

"Sounds ...... It doesn't feel real, would the Astronomical Society allow such a thing to exist?"

"Of course not, but long before the Astronomical Society was founded, no, it was damaged by some passing bad thing long before it fell for life. Therefore, outsiders are not good things, no matter how enthusiastic they are, there should be a limit, if those guys were a little vigilant, they would not have been what they are now......"

I can't understand the second half of the sentence, but it's not the first time that Tong Ji has talked to herself like this, just listen to it as the black history of Olympus.

"That is, Helios is currently in a damaged state?"

"More than 90 percent of the features are gone. ”

Tong Ji shrugged: "So, the remaining instinct of Helios chose to repair itself, but unfortunately, Hephaestus no longer exists, so he can only protend to be with others...... That's why there are invitations.

Through its own orbit, at each time it approaches the sun, it mass-produces a large number of semi-finished products, and then throws them into the present and hell, generating a large number of invitations. ”

"Any alchemist who wishes to set foot in Helios can carry out the invitation, and load the miracle of his smelting in a blank relic - just like continuing his own work on someone else's half-finished painting, as long as he can achieve a perfect rating, then Helios will be regarded as a worthy guest and qualified to climb Helios. ”

"And then?"

"Then I'll take on the maintenance work. Tong Ji said calmly: "People are looking for someone to come to repair the sewer pipes, can they still invite you to tea?" But for any alchemist, being able to come into contact with the creations of the gods is already a great opportunity, let alone being able to participate in it." If you can complete the work within a month of the intersection of the tracks, then you can get off the train with a thank you gift.

If you can't finish it, haha, then you have to finish your part...... However, once the car has been seated, it is not easy to get off, you know?"

Huai Shi swallowed and foamed.

Imagine an alchemist being carried in a cold chariot and navigating the icy universe, the darkness and despair cutting everything off.

And the present is beyond the distant astronomical scale......

Wait for a reunion in seventy years.

"If you want me to say, some alchemists would like to stay longer. ”

Kirihime shrugged, "I didn't want to get off the train even when I got to the station, so I deliberately stayed there, and over time, a group was formed within because of the study of Helios, which is what we call the Helios Workshop." However, the only one who can truly represent Helios' workshop is Helios himself. ”

"That'...... After all these years, is there any progress in the repair?"

"About 30 percent, right?"

Tong Ji said indifferently: "The materials are rare, and sometimes Helios's own projections are like taxis, working everywhere in hell, and it's not strange to encounter them." ”

"As soon as you say that, you drop so much......"

"Anyway, this is your chance. ”

Tong Ji's words made Huai Shi chuckle in her heart: "You've been receiving gifts from others for so long, I'm afraid you're already on the list, right?"

"I'm going up there to fix the water pipes?" Huai Shi's eyes widened.

"What are you afraid of, with the skills of the caster, when the orbits of Helios converge in a year, you are still afraid that you will not be able to repair it?" Tong Ji glanced at him: "Besides, there is still a year, and in a year, you may be the fifth order!"

"Don't say that advancing to the fifth order is as good as eating and drinking!I'm only the third order!" Huai Shi's eyes widened: "Besides, you have shoehorned a level in front of you, so you have more experience than others, okay!"

"Rest assured, as long as the big group has a breakthrough, the destiny of the young priest will grow up very quickly, as for the great commander...... You killed people in hell like numb, wiped out the life of an entire hell, how many correction points did you get, as long as you transform through the secret ritual, you can immediately skip the early and middle stages, and jump directly to the late stage, and when the advanced materials are almost ready, you can consider the fourth order. ”

Tong Ji finished counting with her fingers, and patted Huai Shi's shoulder proudly: "Look at how well my sister has planned for you!"

"Yes, it's really thorough, from the entrance to the ground, the arrangement is clear. ”

Huai Shi rolled her eyes.

Tong Ji leaned closer and smiled, "Angry?"

Huai Shi looked away and leaned back.

"After that, it's going to fall. ”

"I'm zama. ”

Huai Shi held her breath in annoyance and squeezed out her voice from between her teeth.

Kirihime's laughter became more and more pleasant.

"Alright, I'm almost there...... I'll go back first. She stretched out her hand and pulled Huai Shi up from the ground: "It's all about being teachers, don't be so childish." ”

Huai Shi sighed, waved her hand, and motioned for her to hurry up.

But Tongji remained in place, looking at his appearance, and suddenly said, "There is one more thing, I didn't tell you......"

"Huh?" Huai Shi was puzzled.

I saw her stretch out her hand, with a lightning speed, and when Huai Shi couldn't react, she rubbed her hair vigorously, and her smile was bright and dazzling.

"Grown, Huaishi. She said, "Congratulations." ”

Huai Shi froze in place.

"Goodbye, then. ”

Squeezing her eyes at the contractor in front of her, she turned away, her figure disappearing into thin air.

Soon, the frozen time returned to flow again.

It seemed that everyone had forgotten the phantom of the vanished phantom, and they didn't notice the ten minutes they had lost, only to see Huai Shi standing thoughtfully in place, staring in other directions.

Silent and did not speak.

"Teacher?"

Lin Shijiu looked at the pensive Huai Shi suspiciously, and reminded softly, "Are you okay?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was stunned for a moment. ”

Huai Shi came back to her senses and smiled at them: "I remembered something happy." ”

In the silence, Yuan Yuan looked at that smile, and his heart became unreasonably sour.

And usually still standing quietly in the corner, the rickety body is stiff and already sweaty.

Absolutely unaware of what exactly happened......

But I felt a tingling pain in my eyes.

It was as if for a moment, the tyrannical sun had descended here, coldly ravaging the eyes that had spied on too many miracles.

His pupils left a deep burning mark like a sun wheel.

He was not even given a reason to be afraid, but only indifferently lowered the punishment.

Tell him.

Bow your head.
