In the evening, in Donner's laboratory in the Stone Villa, the snow-white light of multiple magic lamps illuminated the workbench. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The seven women's forearms are thick, and the secret bronze pillars about a palm long are densely covered with strange magic gold patterns.

The patterns vary in thickness, with few patterns to follow, and in some places even intermittently, looking like the result of a failed drawing. However, it was a hand-drawn pattern by Donner, the dwarven blacksmith master Culus. With Donner's magic array attainment, even if the graphics were ten times and a hundred times more complex than this dwarf totem, it would not be a problem for him. In other words, it wasn't that he made a mistake in copying, as was the case with Master Curus's original work.

According to Kurus, the ancient totem pole is exactly one meter in diameter, made of a matte metal material that Kurus had never seen before, and after 10,000 years, there is no sign of weathering and wear, and there are seven relatively complete totem patterns, each etched around the cylinder from bottom to top.

The seven bronze pillars now on the smooth rock countertop of the laboratory resemble a miniature version of an ancient totem pole.

In this almost completely closed laboratory, Donner seemed to lose track of time, sitting quietly at his desk, all focused on the seven secret bronze pillars - Cynthia and Master Curus had left by noon, and the Ellie sisters had stayed in the Stone Villa, presumably preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve celebration with Layla.

Seven Patterns...... Isn't it the same as the seven systems of water, fire, wind, wood, earth, spirit, and light? No, light magic is a combination of six types of magic, and there is no primitive, so there will be no corresponding topological transformation figures.

Donner pondered for a long time, deciding not to dwell on this speculation for the time being, but to use the test to determine whether the seven totems correspond to each type of magic.

Seven patterns, fifth-level magic gold and spiritual magic essence, if you try them one by one, you need to make forty-two secret bronze sticks, but through the elimination method, he can make the whole process easier.

......

Just as Donner was engrossed in his experiments, the year 644 of the Fermont calendar crept in.

In the living room of the Stone Villa, magical fireworks flew towards the northern sky with a sharp whistling, exploding in the starry night sky. Dressed girls sit around the campfire in the center of the living room, and the smell of wine, barbecue, spices, and burning fruit trees fills the living room.

At this moment, the empress of the Middle-earth Empire, the girl from the magical continent with a different fate, and the dwarf twins born in the Far North are all gathered at the top of this miraculous cliff city to celebrate the arrival of the new year because of the same person.

The night was warm and sweet, with innocent smiles on the girls' faces, and songs from different corners of the world rang out from time to time.

Just as the 0:00 o'clock of the New Year was approaching, there was a knock on the stone door behind the rock screen, and the stone room suddenly fell silent.

"Probably the woman came back. Layla looked at Lucia and said, "Are you going to open the door?"

Lucia thought about it, but nodded and said, "Go and open it, on New Year's Eve, you can't turn people away." ”

Layla said "um" and went to open the door, only to see a group of strangers outside the stone gate in addition to Lisa.

"You're ......" Layla was a little surprised. Fog City has always sealed off entrances and exits, so it's rare to see so many ordinary humans here.

Lisa ignored her question at all, and walked straight in as soon as the door opened, but Alex helped to introduce: "These friends who claim to be Duke Vane have just returned from the Knight Continent, and it just so happens that we happened to meet on the way back. ”

"Knight Continent?" Layla was even more puzzled, she had never heard the young master say that he still had friends in the Knight Continent.

"Layla, really?" a blonde woman dressed as a knight walked up to Layla, "remember? I was here a year ago. ”

"I remember......" Layla was just about to show a blank look, when she heard Lucia's voice from the living room, "Is it Sarah?"

"Princess Lucia......" Sarah was halfway through speaking, suddenly remembering the royal changes she had heard about when she returned to Foggy City a year ago, and immediately changed her words, "Your Majesty." ”

By this time, Lucia had already arrived in front of everyone, and she immediately recognized that the female knight in front of her was one of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, Sarah, who had saved Donner in the Fallen West - although the latter was much more beautiful now than she was more than ten years ago.

"Sarah, it's a pleasure to meet you," Lucia laughed heartily, "Are these your friends?"

"Your Majesty, let me introduce you, this Mr. Ceoses is a friend of Donner, and they have had several encounters on the Kaios continent......" Sarah pointed to the middle-aged knight behind her.

Lucia nodded slightly towards Ceosaceus, and said to Lisa with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to get acquainted, come in quickly, there is no reason to stop the guests at the door." ”

Sarah saw that Lucia did not have the slightest empress frame, and in addition to the joy of reunion after a long absence, Sarah was also a little more moved, so she was not in a hurry to introduce Ke Lei and the others, and followed Lucia to the living room, and asked as she went, "Where's Donner? Isn't he here?"

"It's in the lab. Lucia replied with a smile.

"New Year's is still in the lab?" said Sarah, who was a little surprised.

"This guy, once he's busy, he can't take care of anything. Lucia smiled and shook her head, complaining in a tone with a sweet sense of happiness.

At this time, Layla saw Lisa walking through the corridor next to the living room and going straight to the depths of the stone villa, so she quickly followed, and said urgently in the Fantes language: "When the young master was doing experiments, he hated being disturbed the most. ”

Lisa stopped and snorted coldly, but she still turned back to the living room, sat down on the stone bench near the side of the cliff, and looked at the starry sky outside the cliff, looking detached, as if she had no interest in the rest of the people in the stone room.

In the past day, she has traveled to most of the fog city, and what she has seen and heard has shocked her, and at this time she looks cold and withdrawn, but she is digesting the shock in her heart alone.

In fact, she is not alone in such emotions.

Alex, Rose Knight Ceosais, Corey and others were also immersed in the shock along the way, and their moods were difficult to calm down.

Only Sarah was a little more indifferent because she had returned to Foggy City a year ago.

"Your Majesty," she said, as she sat down, continued to introduce Lucia, "this is the ...... of Corey."

"Ke Lei?" Lucia looked at the silver-haired, slightly restrained female knight, and her expression suddenly became exciting, "You are Ke Lei?"

"Your Majesty the Empress......" Ke Lei looked a little embarrassed, more than ten years ago, she also invaded the Femon Empire as a general, and now facing the Empress of the Empire, it is inevitable that she will be a little confused.

"By the way, do you know Simmons, King of Thorns?" Lucia asked suddenly.

"Simmons ......" Corey's face suddenly darkened when she heard the name. The knights sitting beside her also showed expressions of disgust.

Seeing their reaction, Lucia was overjoyed and had a clear idea of what to do with Simmons.
