In the history of the Wizards, they were born before the appearance of the gods and were incarnated by the foundations of the ordered world.

The original Qijiang people were formed by the combination of certain primitive materials and the embodiment of self-consciousness, and then evolved.

The later Wizard Craftsman was created by the combined casting of stone bodies made of crystal chips between the soul and the planes.

As they move towards eternal sleep, the form transforms into a glittering mathematical symbol, or the shape of a formula.

After death, the greatest individual consciousness of its race does not disappear, but merges into a powerful consciousness.

That powerful and pure spirit body, named "Sage", is the supreme leader and spiritual totem of the entire Qijiang clan.

Theoretically, the sages can make the most rational and wise judgments and formulate the most reasonable life plan for each wonder craftsman.

There are usually three types of such plans, which divide the society of the Wizard Craftsmen into three parts, each with its own unique mission:

The first to forge and maintain the Sanctioner Legion, one of the most important forces on the Order side of the multiverse;

The second group devoted itself to the study of the laws and arithmetic of the various worlds in order to ensure that the Wizard Craftsmen could develop the skills necessary to carry out the order;

The third group is only capable of being gifted by the Wondersmiths, who will assist the Sages and create more races of Balancers.

In ancient times, the country where the craftsmen lived was the "Three Pillars" of the order that coexisted with the Nine Prisons of Bato and the Heavenly Mountain.

Some scholars believe that the mechanical realm is inextricably linked with the race of strange craftsmen, and they may even be the creators of the mechanical realm.

However, this powerful race, which seemed to have extraordinary development potential, suddenly disappeared sometime a long time ago.

The vast multiverse, the evidence of the Wonder Craftsman Race, which can prove that this race did indeed exist, is now only a scale and a half claw.

For example, the legends about the Balancers that only powerful spellcasters, and even gods, are qualified to know.

Another example is the occasional trip to the physical plane to search for and eliminate sporadic sanctioners of instability that could upend the order.

Or, like the remnant of the Wonder Craftsman named Shay, whom Izuku is now encountering—a resilient and fragile being.

He said that he was "tenacious" because with the dragon's keen perception, he could clearly feel the vitality of the person in front of him.

Whether it is the exuberance of the soul or the health of the body, Shay can be said to be almost a model of mortality.

And to say that it is "vulnerable" is from the perspective of a telemancer, and Quis can feel that Shay's mind is disturbed.

Even with all the protections, their individual minds are still affected by the forces of chaos, and there is a slight shift in their faction.

"No way, you can't solve my current predicament. ”

When Shay heard Quest's offer of a "trade", he shouldn't have responded that way due to the nature of creatures on the Extreme Order side.

Under normal circumstances, he could accept and ask for specific content, and he could also reject Quest's proposal, but he would never deny it.

In the absence of explanation, the act of "negating" is simply illogical and undoubtedly blind.

Blind denial is precisely a manifestation of mental confusion, and creatures on the extreme order side cannot tolerate this kind of behavior.

Not to mention doing it yourself.

"Why, as far as I know, the ancient Wizard Craftsmen were not so vulnerable, they were free to enter and exit the planes?"

Quest asked calmly.

"There are no sages now...... You don't know, but in short, I'm not going to get out of here unless I'm absolutely sure. ”

Hearing Queth's questioning, Shay instinctively wanted to refute, but as soon as he said something, he suddenly realized something.

However, for a dragon like Quest, who has a high IQ and knows some secrets about the "sage", this information is enough for him to make a reasonable guess.

"The sages don't exist anymore...... Could it be that it is precisely because of the disappearance of that powerful collective consciousness that the once glorious civilization of the Wonder Craftsman has fallen, and it is precisely because of the lack of the collective consciousness of that extreme order that the remnants of this race will not be 'immune' to the erosion of chaos?"

Although incomplete, these speculations are actually very close to the truth. The surviving craftsmen can now only rely on taking a large number of supplements that are beneficial to the body to strengthen their bodies, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting their individual consciousness.

In ancient times, the body had nothing to do with the existence of the Wizard Craftsman, and all the Wonder Craftsman clan had their own other form.

They can turn into a glittering cloud of crystalline dust through a few movements, and fly in this form or perform other social behaviors.

The cloud of crystal dust can hover in the air and combine into specific symbols and formulas, and each craftsman can easily access the knowledge they need through contact in this form.

This way of "learning" is so efficient that this race is called the "engineer race", and their knowledge is constantly accumulating and improving, which can be described as changing with each passing day.

Returning to humanoid form is a matter of thought, and they can switch between the two forms at any time.

But now, the Wizard Artisans have lost this ability, or they dare not use it at all—that would be tantamount to suicide.

There is no way to communicate efficiently, and generations of craftsmen have even cut off the original knowledge inheritance, and gradually clinging to the incompleteness.

Although "a starving camel is bigger than a horse", there are few miracle craftsmen in existence, but they are still the top craftsmen in the multiverse.

But they can only be craftsmen, not former engineers, inventors, and leaders on the path of truth.

When he saw the engine built by the Wonder Craftsman before, Quest had as much hope as he was, and how much disappointment he had in the end.

Aside from the manufacturing process and materials, the principle of that soul engine is simply old, and even the efficiency of the work is really touching.

Not to mention the comparison with the Leviathan Behemoth, the Clockwork Dragon, and the Traction City, compared to the Chaos Ship that Ques knows, except for the relatively stable performance (compared to the Demon Creation, this can't be done at all, so really...... ), there are no outstanding advantages.

If Quest wanted to make something like that, he could have grabbed a few Hellpurgators and forced them to use the Wishing Technique to create materials and processing equipment out of thin air, and then assemble them.

There is neither challenge nor value for reference.

Still, Quis wanted to trade with the ancient remnant of the Wizard Clan in order to gain the knowledge he knew.

In particular, when it comes to materials and material processing, Quest is a cognitive shortcoming that he believes needs to be filled.

"Sure? Sounds like you've got a plan. ”

PS. The following are not counted as word counts

I have established a discussion group 618382262 the works of "The Scales of Eternal Order", and everyone is welcome to come in and discuss! At present, there is an outline (part) of the comic form (part) drawn by himself, an introduction to the easter egg, historical knowledge related to the content, and the author's own daily life have been released in the group one after another. If you want to see more behind-the-scenes footage of creation, hurry up and join in!
