From the moment he stepped out of the Pillar of the Wind Guard, Link regained his true self and no longer wore Melville's appearance, and his abandonment of the Ranger status also caused the little-known Bafast descendant to be marked back to the black of death in the union register.
With the increase in popularity, Link kept receiving attention from all directions when he walked on the street, some curious and admired, as well as distrustful and fearful, which made him always have the idea of changing his appearance when he was used to keeping a low profile.
Even after leaving the training ground, he still did not get rid of the sight that followed him, from the civilians in the city to the passing merchants, as well as the spies of all parties mixed with ordinary people. It wasn't until he joined the union that the attention that made Link uncomfortable was greatly reduced, but even inside the building, there was still no change in the treatment of being greeted by people.
Compared with the desertion of the past, the union is gradually regaining its former glory, and under the influence of the children of nature who have re-entered the world for forty years, not only business travelers, but even travelers will pay for the union to hire mercenary escorts for safety.
As soon as he entered the hall, ignoring the eyes that focused on him, Link nodded to Yoda, who was busy registering, and went straight to the storeroom.
The person who entered now was a child of nature, and Bridge, who was sitting in a reclining chair, hurriedly got up. Noticing a slight confusion on Link's face, he explained that Belloc was making alchemy golems elsewhere.
"I heard you have an urgent matter for me?"
Bridge coughed dryly, "It's true, but it's not me this time." Somehow Bard the Sage learned that I had restarted the rank tester and came to ask for my guilt. As a last resort, I had to tell you what I had entrusted you to fix, and he asked me to tell you to wait for you to come back. Be sure to contact him...... As for the method used, His Excellency did not tell you. ”
"Got it. Bard obviously meant to take a trip to Hohenheim. It just so happened that Link also wanted to ask Bray how he solved the problem of translating the test results into text manifestations.
I wanted to gasify and leave, but I thought that Sevis might ask around when he learned that he was not in the union. Link can only take the avatar and fly on Hohenheim.
Seeing that he was leaving, Bridge hurriedly asked how the Rank Tester was repaired?
"The soul stone part has been completed, but there are still some things that I don't understand, so I can take the opportunity to go to Hohenheim and ask Bray about his skills in making this item. ”
Do you want to ask Bray, who has become a god, how to make magic items?
Under Bridge's puzzled gaze, Link, who had just come in, hurried away again.
Out of the union hall. Link turned into a wind falcon and ascended, and with the addition of the wind elemental, he just left the city of Valolet under his feet in the blink of an eye. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of discussion passers-by will have when they see this scene.
Towering above the clouds, Hohenheim is arguably the closest thing to the ladder of the physical realm, where countless mages have embraced to become great masters. Even the idea of sanctification comes here. With hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, the Floating City is one of the few races that remains neutral, both in terms of physique and defense, and is not subject to the control of the terrestrial human kingdom or the constraints of any race.
Deliberately turned into a giant falcon with a large target and easy to be seen, Link also had the intention of letting Hohenheim take the initiative to open the enchantment. After the portal was removed, Valolet had no direct access to Hohenheim, and he didn't think he could still do it again. Infiltrate in the form of the wind elemental.
Sure enough, the tower-lined Sky City soon took on a huge shadow over the city. Placed on the outermost layer, the warning bell rings through the city of mages.
Years ago, Bray set up an enchantment for Hohenheim that could sense and evaluate the abilities of foreign invaders, which was also one of the very few strange artifacts that was driven by the law of cause and effect, but still functioned after Bray was crowned a god. The majestic and incomparable power of the Four Pillars God made the entire huge floating city shake, and the usually hidden enchantments emerged one after another, square or round, densely packed, protecting the floating city in it.
For such an unexpected situation. Link was also taken aback, this warning was too exaggerated, right?
The city of mages is like a hornet's nest that has been stabbed, the ** masters have flown out of their respective mage towers, and the less capable ones have also walked to the street and looked up, both curious and puzzled.
What a man is so daring. Dare to trespass on Hohenheim? This is the only human territory that has survived the scourge of the dead, and even the Lich King, who has been defeated by the Natural Alliance, fears Hohenheim's power and makes a non-aggression pact with him.
Bud, who was meditating, opened his eyes and had the answer in his heart.
There are not many people in the material realm who can make such a high-level alarm in the early warning barrier, and the closest one is the child of nature who temporarily stays in Vaolet.
Reaching out and tapping the crystal floating in front of him, hum-
Along with the circle lit up, it was Claire who teleported directly to his side. Although she was demoted due to the fall of the former goddess of magic, she did not step down from her position as the leader of the radical faction, and after years of accumulation, she was demoted for several months, and still no one dared to challenge Claire's power.
The core enchantment of Hornheim is maintained by the leaders of the two factions, and no matter how much Claire is at odds with Bard, she will not secretly stumble when it comes to defending against foreign enemies. As soon as she received Bud's summons, she rushed over, but when she saw Bud's thoughtful expression, she was very unhappy.
"Legendary-level alert, you seem to know who the intruder is?"
Bud didn't hide it, "It's Link, the child of nature. ”
"What is he here for?" Claire's already impatient expression suddenly turned cold at the mention of Link's name.
The culprit who caused her to be demoted!
"Bridge didn't keep his promise and used the Rank Tester again. "In order to prevent the profit-obsessed merchant from breaking his oath, Bard placed a small detection spell on the rank tester that he would sense as soon as the soul stone was activated. After all these years, the Guild had been hiding the Rank Tester in the storeroom, and if it hadn't been for the sudden sense that the spell had been placed so many years ago would have been effected, Bard would have almost forgotten about it.
Claire sighed, "What does that have to do with him?"
Bard is still the same lukewarm attitude: "Link is the first child of nature to regain the power of the Four Pillars since the Golden Age, and he is also one of the few craftsmen in the world today. ”
Claire narrowed her eyes, "And then?"
Bridge's claim is that he asked Link to help fix the Rank Tester, as he didn't think it was a breach of contract because the Children of Nature were out of the human realm. ”
"Hmph~ It's quite in line with the old immortal's usual style, but it's not the same thing as you calling that guy to Hohenheim, right?"
Claire's rank has dropped, but it doesn't mean that her IQ has also dropped. With Link's trouble-fearing personality, he would never have come to Hohenheim by himself if it hadn't been for Bard's request.
"What do you want to do?"
Bard, who had been looking ahead, finally turned his gaze to Claire and was silent for a long time before he said, "Finn received an oracle from Bray yesterday. ”
Claire suddenly felt a suffocation in her chest, when Lorelei was still a goddess, she was not only a powerful person who was a medium to transmit oracles, but also highly respected among mages. After Lorelei's fall, those who were usually sycophants immediately switched their goals to Bray's newly chosen medium.
Claire can't swallow this breath no matter what, if the strength is profound, it will be quite talented, but that kid is not only a person from another world, but also a commoner! For a long time, the supremacy of noble blood has been highly sought after by mages, and only deliberately selected intermarriage can give birth to gifted offspring. Bray suddenly set up a civilian and didn't answer it, which was tantamount to slapping her a few times.
"You'd better not do anything superfluous. "After nearly 100 years of getting along, how does Bard not know the personality of the person next to him," don't forget the lessons of the past. ”
"A lesson from the past, you mean the withered royal rose?" Claire raised the corners of her mouth, no matter how stupid she was, she would not do anything that was hostile to the children of nature, "The great enemy is now a matter of life and death in the entire material world. I'm not stupid enough to trouble him at this juncture, and besides, that's a true child of nature, and I won't challenge Bray until I've reached the power of the day. ”
Before Lorelei's fall, Claire, who was born in a noble family and had a smooth ride on the path of a mage, always thought that she would become a god like Bray, until the arrival of Link made her completely awake from the dream of becoming a god. Even if they have reached mortal sanctification, there is still a clear difference from the Bray of the past, the human beings of the Golden Age and the human beings of today are like children of nature with the power of four pillars, and children of nature with the power of a single pillar, there is a world of difference.
Of course, she hated Link, but she resented the former goddess who finally led the current situation, Lorelei.
Hearing Claire's assurance, Bud nodded, "It's best if you think so." Activate the barrier and welcome guests in. ”
With that, he raised his left arm, and there was a light blue emblem in the palm of his hand.
Claire didn't say anything more, just did the same moves as Bard. Raise your right arm, palm facing each other, red and blue emblems at the same time with a faint fluorescence. The defensive barrier, which was jointly controlled by the two factions, was opened, and Link, who had been blocked out, was able to enter Hohenheim.
**The so-called 'intruders' of the division were children of nature and then stopped far away, not daring to come any closer. Not many of them have witnessed Link and Claire fighting each other, but that doesn't stop them from sensing the power that Link exudes. Master tier, close to legendary.
"Lord Link, please come here. Bard's voice suddenly appeared, leading Link to the grand building he had been to the last time he had visited.
