Chapter 247: What Remains
readx;
When Julien and the twin sisters arrived in front of the tower, they saw the figures of Offariel and Pherim, and after seeing them, Offariel smiled and nodded to the three of them. But the expression on Fa Lian's face was very complicated www.biquge.info she first glanced at the three of them, and then subconsciously looked behind the three of them, and then blinked her eyes, lowered her head, and her face was a little cloudy, but in the end, Fa Lian still didn't say anything.
"How?"
Walking up to the two of them, Yulian asked casually, looking at his expression as if nothing had happened before, and he was just late for some reason. However, since Yulian didn't mean to mention it, the two girls present wisely didn't ask, one because they didn't care, and the other didn't want to know.
"We've tried a few things before you came, but ........."
As he spoke, Ofariel turned his head to look at the tower with a hint of embarrassment.
"I don't know why, we couldn't open the door at all. According to Miss Haren, it seems that there is some kind of seal or something......"
"It's an enchantment. β
Yuren raised an eyebrow, completing O'Fariel's statement, and then he looked up and took a closer look at the tower.
"But it's not difficult, it's just a means for the knot to protect itself, and although it has some effect, we can still get it out of the way if we want to. β
"Mr. Yuren, you don't want to blow it up. β
Hearing Yuren's answer, Farin couldn't help but be stunned. Of course, she knew this method, and although among mages, the lifting of the lockdown was generally a more targeted measure, but that did not mean that violence was necessarily useless. In fact, Faren has seen high-level swordsmen directly split the guards set by mages with a single sword, and also seen some mages with the surname Gage directly smash some people who offended him into charcoal with fireballs, no matter how much protection you set, it is like a bison savagely smashing open the door used to protect the house, and then making a mess inside.
And she also knows that right now, here, except for Ofaril, several of her own people have this strength, not to mention Falian's family name or Mana sabotage, everything here is built by Mana, including the enchantment, so if she is allowed to make a move, then there is no problem one hundred percent. It's just that Faren didn't act without permission this time, after all, the previous experience left a very deep psychological shadow on her, you know, not everyone has the opportunity to feel their body explode from the inside out, so presumably for a long time after that, Faren will not choose to use her talent aura for the time being.
However, even if you don't use this power, as long as you use your own weapons, concentrate your soul power, and deal the most violent blow to the most vulnerable point of the barrier, then the protection will also collapse. It's just that Faren glanced at the beautiful, elegant and tall building in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel a little reluctant in her heart, she had been here for a long time before Yuren and the others came, and what surprised Faren was that the patterns, patterns and even carvings on this tower were products that she had never seen before, and she couldn't even judge the specific age and source of civilization of this building, which was a very rare thing for Faren. After all, she grew up in the Mage Guild, the City of a Thousand Laws, where there are buildings with a lifespan of more than 100 years, and records of civilizations and buildings of various eras can be found there. But Faren had never seen a similar building, which made her very curious, just from the surface, the buildings here seemed to be full of mixed human and elf styles, but there were a little differences, and as for what the difference was, Faren couldn't say for a while.
"No, I don't. β
Yulian shook his head.
"I have my own way. β
As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to get out of the way, and then, Yuren raised his head and walked up the wide, tall steps, and then looked up at the door.
Then, Yuren held out his right hand.
A ray of light emerged from the back of his hand.
β...............οΌβ
A vague sound accompanied the light swept low across the square, and even the distorted shadows that could be faintly seen in the distance froze for a moment, and then, a bright white light appeared from the back of Julien's right hand, and then shot into the sky, and then condensed into a sign of a scale.
"What is this? Miss Haren?"
Offariel couldn't help but lower her voice and asked Farin curiously, she didn't ask Yuren, because the other party was busy at the moment, and with O'Fariel's understanding of Yuren, the other party probably wouldn't say anything.
"It seems to be a kind of soul carving. β
Pharen replied in a low voice, in fact she was just as dazed as O'Fariel.
"I can't say what it does, in fact, I only know that there is such a thing from some ancient documents, as for its specific function......... I don't know, it's very old anyway, and ........."
Speaking of this, Faren was a little puzzled, in his memory, it was clearly written in the literature that this was something that could only be used by mages. However, he has been following this lord for a while, and he has never seen him use any spells, and even if he encounters anything related to magic, he mostly leaves it to himself and the sisters to complete, at least in Faren's opinion, she doesn't think that the other party has any magical power, but why is there a soul mark?
And, what does he want to do?
The pattern of the balance was fleeting in the air, and then, the huge door suddenly emitted a faint cyan brilliance, and then, with a heavy, calm sound, the stone door slowly opened inward, showing the scene inside.
"Ahh
And at the same time as the door opened, Offariel couldn't help but scream, and Farin stepped forward, holding the battle axe across his chest with both hands, and watched vigilantly ahead.
At this moment, in front of everyone, inside the gate, two warriors in golden armor were standing, their swords in their hands, glaring angrily ahead, it was obvious that these two warriors were ready to kill any intruder.
However, Yulian seemed to ignore this, and he just raised his foot and walked directly into the tower. And the sisters followed, rushing and jumping inside. To the surprise of the two girls even more, they walked past the two warriors who were ready to storm and hurt people without hindrance, and the two warriors let the three of them pass by, still holding up the giant sword in their hands, looking motionless ahead, without even rolling their eyes.
And it was only then that the two girls saw what was wrong, and they looked at each other, and then followed.
When they approached the two warriors, they were surprised to find that they were not living people at allβand of course, they were not sculptures.
No one can say exactly what they are.
Ofaril even reached out and touched their skin, which was cold and soft. Those eyes weren't gems or other lenses, they were real eyes. But at this moment, the two warriors seemed to be frozen here forever, motionless.
And that's not all.
Although on the surface, these two warriors should be human, but Farin and Offariel feel that they seem to be a little different from humans no matter how they look, not as distinct as elves and dwarves, but they always have this feeling. It's as if the two warriors in front of them seem to be completely out of step with their world, whether it is body shape, skin color, hair, eyes, or even the distribution of facial features, there seems to be some kind of difference.
They looked at each other suspiciously, and each saw that the other had never seen a similar race anywhere or in any record - a rare question as a once learned flower of the kingdom and a mage from the most knowledgeable city.
However, at this moment, You Lian and the others had already moved forward, so even if the two of them had doubts, they had to press down and keep up with them.
Then their eyes widened in surprise.
As a mage from the City of a Thousand Laws, Lotus thought that he had seen countless splendors, and the towering mage tower of the City of a Thousand Laws was almost the most beautiful, majestic and majestic building on the continent. But at this moment, after walking into this tower, she had the feeling that can only be found in the city of a thousand laws for the first time -- as if the whole world was endlessly displayed in front of your eyes, but only this was the center of everything.
Farren gasped before he came back to his senses, and then focused his gaze on Yuren in front of him again.
Yu Lian was still calm, as if he was no stranger to the scenery in front of him, but still walked forward. However, for the two maidens, they were extremely surprised--as the crowd advanced, more and more people appeared in front of them, dressed in various costumes, with all kinds of faces, each of them frozen in the air like the two warriors at the door. But they have one thing in common, and that is that the clothing of these people, as well as their physical characteristics, seem to be out of place with people in any of this world.
"Mr. Yuren!"
Faren finally couldn't help but speak, after all, as a gifted knight, she was also an archmage, and the mage's natural curiosity about the mysterious unknown prevailed at this moment. She looked at Yuren and couldn't bear to walk past them in silence -- as if a person was walking intently through a corridor full of treasures, and it was impossible to be silent.
"These people ............"
"Do you know the Age of Chaos?"
Answering questions with questions seemed to have become a habit for Julien, and his voice was calm, but he insisted on interrupting Faren's speech before asking rhetorically. This surprised the two girls a little, but they nodded anyway. They already knew Yuren's habits, and they knew that they didn't need to ask anything about it next, and it was clear that Yuren was familiar with this place.
"Farin, tell me, what is the Age of Chaos?"
Yuren asked, pushing away a human figure that was in front of him and running in an attempt to escape something.
"The ............ of the Age of Chaos"
Haren said as he reminisced.
"It was a time of madness, when the nations of the continent fought each other for the evidence of the hegemon prophesied by the stars, which eventually led to a catastrophe that destroyed the heavens and the earth. Tens of thousands of people died in that terrible catastrophe, and since then, the continent has changed dramatically, and in the course of a thousand years, once crazy countries have been destroyed, leaving only pieces of ruins. β
"The proof of the hegemon. β
Yu Lian snorted coldly.
"What is the evidence of the overlord who rules this continent, in fact, there is no such thing at all, and the documents you know are simply random compilations. β
"Huh?"
"Long before the Age of Chaos, there was another race on this continent, and they were humans. β
β..................β
"Of course, I'm not saying we're not human, but they're completely different from us. β
As he spoke, Yulian stretched out his hand and casually pointed at the people around him.
"You should have seen the level of civilization of this group of humans by now, so I won't talk nonsense. They are the most skilled race in the use of Manna on this continent, and in fact, many of the techniques of the Phama Guild were originally created by this race. β
"Huh?"
"But it's a pity that there are good and bad, although this group of people had hundreds of times more skills than the current mage association, but unfortunately, they themselves don't know spells, and they can't use spells, they can only use some specially made equipment to create spell-like effects, but they don't have soul abilities, and their bodies can't reserve Mana. β
β..................β
"But after that, another kind of humanity was born, who could cast spells without the aid of equipment, nor with the help of specialized weapons to cast a powerful power called soul power. β
Yuren said, glancing at Haren meaningfully.
"You can imagine how unusual it was for this kind of human birth to be in such an environment that the population of people tried to wipe out these races altogether, but sadly, they did the opposite. β
"How is this possible?"
Hearing this, Ofaril couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"I can understand people's fear of being different from ordinary people, but according to you, those people should have been in the majority at that time, how could they .........?"
"You haven't lived through that era, so it's normal to think that way. β
You Lian snapped his fingers lightly and replied without looking back.
"But I can tell you that the human beings born at that time contained a completely different power than now, take a country's army as an example, all the generals in it are gifted knights, the knight class is the main force of the real knights, the level of high-level swordsmen was the real cannon fodder in that era, and the people below this are not even qualified to participate in the battle, just like a civilian, just run as far as they can. β
"This ............"
Hearing this, both Farin and Offariel opened their mouths in surprise, if it was according to Yuren, then in that era, there were not thousands of talented knights?!
"Those who came before us, we call them the first age, and the beginning of the chaotic age, we call it the second age......... After that, there were more and more people in the second age, and almost every third child born was a person from the second age, and then, this overwhelming number of surnames became a friction between the two generations, and eventually, the war began. β
As he spoke, Yuren shrugged his shoulders.
"The year of chaos lasted for hundreds of years, and the people of the second age, from the beginning of the stragglers, gradually gathered together and established states, religions, and even various organizations. They wiped out the people of the First Age once and for all, and then began to fight each other for territory and power, and after that, ......... As a result, you should all have studied history, so I won't repeat it. β
β...............β
There was silence.
Farin and O'Fariel couldn't keep up with Yuren's speech at the moment, and their brains were completely confused.
"Then, then, Lord Yuren. β
In the end, it was Ofaril who returned to reality first, after all, it was all history in the past, and it had nothing to do with his current self.
"What are you here for?"
"I said, good stuff. β
As he spoke, Yuren stopped.
In front of him was a large metal door. Yuren looked up for a moment, then he held out his hand.
Pushed open the door.
The dazzling blue light shrouded everyone's bodies in an instant.
The moment she saw what was in front of her, Farin held her breath, and Offariel coughed loudly -- all because she was too excited.
At this moment, what appeared in front of everyone was a blue plain.
It's not made up of plants.
The crystal blue crystals shrouded the space the size of two football fields like a heavy carpet, reflecting and refracting a faint magical glow, revealing a psychedelic scene.
Anyone with even a modicum of magical knowledge knows what it is.
Magic Crystals.
This is the purest, most expensive, and most precious magic mineral on this continent, as long as you have it, you can create the most powerful magic weapons, and you can also refine the most powerful magic weapons and all kinds of equipment. However, the number of these magic crystals is also extremely rare, they usually only appear near the source, and can only be found in a pile of magic ores, in fact, even a magic crystal the size of a fingernail is enough to buy a medium-sized city.
And now the function of this piece of ............" node is to purify, to remove impurities, and these impurities precipitate here, and become these things......... Frankly, if Charlotte hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. β
