In the middle of the magnificent floating city, there is a huge white tower that rises into the sea of clouds.

Even if you ignore the rest of the floating island, this tower alone is one of the best wonders in the world.

"Up close, there is such a big ......"

Vimere stood on the walkway beside the lawn, tilting her head straight up, and for a moment she was a little dizzy.

It's too high.

Like a tower inhabited by giants......

It took a few hours to get here, and even if there were few obstacles on the way, the city was much bigger than it had hoped.

Luo Wei also raised his gaze in front of him, and the tower in his field of vision was not made of a single piece, but was made up of dozens of huge, solar panel-like structures, arranged in a plane to form a cylindrical shell.

Its area is about the size of an entire city.

"It seems that they also know that big is good art."

“……？”

Vimir and Ayining looked at him at the same time, and Shaya flew down from the sky at this moment, and with her reconnaissance radius, there was no trace of the Legion's fighting.

"Then let's go in," Rowe nodded, "I wasn't going to wait for them. ”

The group walked along the avenue between the meadows, and in addition to their direction, there were dozens of regular paths between the surrounding lawns, which converged under the tower like veins, creating a magnificent atmosphere and a scene of green glory.

Good, so stylish.

Vimere was so nervous that her stomach hurt a little.

And as they approached and stepped up the steps, the great door of the white stone began to slowly open outward.

"Are you welcome?"

Rowe raised his gaze and walked into the hall without any burden, and inside was a magnificent and solemn empty scene, the other party seemed to prefer the solid and powerful marble to the gold and silver decoration, and the floor was clean and reflected the reflection of people.

Walking inside to the main hall area, he saw the arrangement of the palace decorations on both sides at a glance, pushed the door open and went inside, and it was a disc-shaped elevator inside.

Several people stepped on it after entering, but there was no response.

"Isn't it too heavy?" Xhaya frowned.

Vimere rubbed her feet, recently ...... There should be no change in weight......

"Don't be stupid," Rowe shook his head and walked out to see the spiral staircase on one side, "Looks like it's not going to save us some effort." ”

As for her little fat, it is almost impossible to see with the naked eye, and you can only feel how much burden it can be when you get started.

Vimeer: X_X

Do you take the stairs...... It seems to be very tall......

Luo Wei didn't have any opinions, mainly because they were welcome to do this kind of petty behavior, what should be the purpose.

If it's just to design traps, it's a bit contemptible to blind such pomp and circumstance.

"This seems to be the staircase around the tower."

Shaye spoke.

Stepping on the white stone steps that extend upwards, it is clear that the inner wall of the entire tower arcs upward, and you can't count how many steps there will be.

So, what would the craftsman want to do?

Although the top of the head is blocked by the bottom of the upper steps, and there is a compartment in the middle, but after all, it is only a step, and how long can this alone drag them down, and it is a big deal to fly up in an arc.

At that moment, the surrounding lights dimmed.

The group did not slow down, because the lights were not so dim that they could not see the road clearly to interfere with the reconnaissance, and at the edge of the staircase inward, transparent panels began to appear that moved with their steps.

And there seems to be some kind of ...... playing on it History.

"What is this?" Vimere looked at her suspiciously.

In the yellowed picture, more than a dozen men and women with their faces covered are fleeing in the dimly lit cave, although they can't see their faces clearly, they can also feel panic and crisis, and some even hold babies in their arms.

It seems to be in the remnants of the Wars.

Then, the group stumbled into some mechanism and began to scramble to remove the forging hammer and craftsman's tools, and began to try to break it.

"Artisan?" Saya frowned.

"Probably before the Crownless City was founded," Eloth replied faintly, "The previous city was built and destroyed by the mercenaries, presumably the artisans who fled into the relics of the War of God during the Night of the Winter Rebellion. ”

You know that very well.

Shaya didn't reply disdainfully, and the devil knew if the witch had done anything out of it.

"If, that is......" Vimil hesitated and cast her gaze at Rowe.

"I want us to see how the craftsmen will get to where they are today." Luo Wei shook his head in a deep voice.

It's really a sense of ritual with a bad taste.

However, in this way, there are some things that he does not have to ask, and he is also very curious, how does Zolman plan to hide the content behind the scenes?

The group of craftsmen who dragged their families broke the mechanism and hid in a dark tunnel, and the footsteps behind them got closer and closer, forcing them to keep moving forward until someone fell halfway down and discovered a hidden space.

And what was inside immediately attracted everyone's attention.

It was a huge crystal that was crystal clear.

Sealed in it was a beautiful girl like a goddess, with flawless long white hair, naked and closed her eyes and hugging herself.

Ayining: "......"

She was stunned for half a second before she remembered to cover Luyi's eyes, but suddenly realized that it was someone else she should cover.

"Huh? Why don't you let Luyi watch, Luyi wants to see! ”

“……”

Luo Wei pursed his lips, Zolman is really generous, but in fact, he can't see anything, it's just a beautiful back.

The man in the crystal is Icarus.

That is, this is the picture of the original craftsman meeting Icarus.

When the people in the picture saw this scene, they knelt on the ground and worshipped in the face of the approaching footsteps behind them, praying that the girl with the goddess in the crystal could save them.

And then that's the end of it.

When jumping again, Icarus was dressed in rudimentary mechanic armor, and the group still bowed and worshipped, but there were many more corpses and blood of his pursuers on the ground.

The scene about the change, has it been cut?

Luo Wei was slightly disappointed, and met Shang Ayi's gaze intently.

“……”

No, no, no...... This was obviously a misunderstanding, and I wasn't expecting the crystal to be broken.

He just felt that the change in the middle was probably related to the appearance of the people involved behind the scenes, at first this group of people were just afraid to pray for fleeing, but after the screen jumped, it turned into a purposeful piety.

It's clear that someone is getting in the way.

Later, the scene shows a gathering in a gloomy vault, with Icarus standing alone on top of it wearing a hood, and there are clearly more people underneath.

Gather the men of the fleeing people, who led the way Icarus and established the first artisan guilds.

Then, when the personnel were ready, they used the pit as a base point to launch a counterattack on the mercenaries who slaughtered them above, giving a long close-up of the sunny picture after the capture of the city.

At this time, Icarus's eyes clearly carried some kind of resolute purpose, as if he understood his mission, or rather, more like he intended to fulfill his long-awaited wish.

I understand the reasoning.

So who recorded these?

This is also the reason why Luo Wei must have someone to obstruct him, how can someone still have the mind and equipment to record along the way when he fled at the beginning? It can't be that the acting was re-recorded later, so Icarus's sacrifice is too great.

At least someone told them that he/she/it recorded it all so that the artisans would not forget how the city was built.

In the images that followed, all of which were about how to make the city viable, and it was clear that Shaye was not interested in these things at all, and was so impatient that she almost said "What does this have to do with us, now I just want to go up and stab them to death".

It's really too much energy.

And it didn't take long for Lu Yi to doze off, and he seemed to be only interested in the first fight, kill, and kill.

What kind of wicked people are these......

"So, is this a hope to woo, or is it a show-off?" Elus asked faintly from behind.

"Maybe both." Rowe closed his eyes.

He didn't understand the plight of these madmen, and he didn't have the slightest pity for knowing that they didn't just want to destroy a city, but that they were going to help destroy the whole world.

Maybe I'm a wicked person too......

Rowe thought to himself.

No longer particularly concerned with the content on the panels, he asked the team to increase their speed and move up at high speed at a tactical pace, using only those images as background boards along the way, intentionally or unintentionally.

And the content inside is getting more and more bloody.

Combining the power of the fallen angels to forcibly transform people into immortal black flame bodies, even if they had checked the relevant rosters before, they were still shocked to see the actual scene.

Countless people died in this experiment, and the blood stains that had accumulated on the floor seemed to make people smell heavy blood rust even through the yellowed images. Zolman didn't seem to intend to package himself as a good man who had to do it, which didn't make Rovi vomit.

With the power of the Black Flame Body, the Artisan will gain absolute loyalty and begin to brew plans for the moment.

After releasing the news about the magic guide weapon, he secretly reached an agreement with the Hoof Fire Empire, and after the alliance between the two sides was formed, the promotion ceremony of the mechanic goddess, as well as the construction of the magic guide weapon and the ascension crown city, began a long implementation.

The only surprise in this long plan is that they inexplicably broke into the depths of the Divine War Ruins, and Maria revealed to them about Colin and the Black Flame Body.

The road continues to stretch in front of me, I don't know how long it has been, these pictures are far from finished, but Shaye in the front stepped on the flat corridor, and Vimir, who did not brake, threw herself forward and ate.

It's top.

There were no further stairs, and at the end of the cloister stood a beautiful white stone door.

Luo Wei glanced back, because the footage was always playing along the way, this part of the road was actually much farther than they felt, and it was estimated that it would not be outside for a while, and it was almost dark.

"Are you alright?" Ayin helped Vimir to her feet.

"I didn't ...... It's okay. ”

Xiao Erwuzai knew that he was distracted by watching the picture, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he shrank his head and was ready to be electrocuted.

Ayining looked at her weakly and shook her head: "It's really okay, right?" After a while, the enemy may say something bad again. ”

"Huh?" Vimere was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what she was worried about.

So she closed her eyes and smiled softly.

"It won't affect me, after all, you're all here, and I won't be bullied by outsiders."

Ayining: "......"

How to say it as if I can bully you too.

Relationship with her...... It will be solved, if there is time later.

The two of them turned their heads to look at the door at the end of the distance, and the truth he was seeking, the end of all the answers, was behind that door.

"Do everything you need to do." Luo Wei said, staring at the door.

Vimir raised her staff to maximize the mana of the others, and Shaya held the Sun Spear vigorously, and there was no need to remind everyone, everyone was ready for the end battle of the Craftsmen's Guild.

Rowe was ahead this time.

As the group approached, the ornate door opened to both sides, revealing the crystal hall that was too empty inside.

Vimir gripped her staff tightly, unable to tell whether she was nervous or serious, although it seemed as if she was inviting them, and there was still a sense of epicness in the legend of facing the end.

The vast Basilica of the Holy See, the huge facility crystal, the goddess of mechanics who had been defeated by the legions slumbered inside.

And the small figure in the center of the hall looked at them alone.

"See you again, Rowe Brooke."

Zolman stood there alone, defenseless, until he saw him with his own eyes, and noticed that his skin no longer looked like a human being, and that it shone with the tough luster of marble.

Luo Wei didn't reply, just looked at him coldly.

"Should I thank you for getting rid of the watcher?" Zolman said, "In this way, the whole plan will be completely taken over by me, and I will no longer be controlled by others." ”

The so-called watchers are Il and Ini.

So, is it true that he was sent behind the scenes to supervise the craftsman association?

"Who are the people who recorded the pictures you showed us?"

"I don't know," Zolman shook his head, "I got this memory from Master Icarus without permission. ”

"That is to say," Luo Wei replied quietly, "let us see that, too, is the result of your insistence." ”

"Huh...... That's right. ”

I have long felt that this arrangement is not normal, and if everything is still dominated by the scenes, there is no need for them to see that scene.

Should it be said that the people behind the scenes have left everything clean?

It would be better to be able to follow the rules under supervision, but whether the twins are there or not, it seems to have become a grudge between them and the artisan guild.

"To be honest, I'm really surprised by your resurrection," Zolman paused to look at him unhostile, "and when I saw you come back, I knew nothing could stop you. ”

"You don't seem qualified to say that," Rowe said, closing his eyes, "and I've never died, and you're still up to the resurrection." ”

Counting the two times he killed him with his own hands, this is already the third life of the other party, and to some extent, it can be described as a ghost.

Ayining and the others couldn't guess Zoerman's intentions, what did they want to do when they opened the door to greet them like this? It doesn't look like there's an ambush around.

"Hehe......" Zolman smiled at some point.

He looked at Luo Wei again, and his expression was both complex and fiery, as well as cold shrewdness and persistence.

"You are indeed very strong, undoubtedly far superior to us, so I can't judge your background at all, and if you break into this kind of place alone, you must have hidden enough hole cards to deal with us."

"What do you want to say?" Luo Wei closed his eyes and said.

"People can fail several times, but past experience shows all the time that when facing you, even if we win, we can't even win once, once or twice can be said to be a fluke, but how many times have you reversed the situation just along the way?"

"So, you're never going to let me go back alive this time?" Luo Wei looked at him sarcastically, "If you want to say threatening and provocative words, you don't have to beat around the bush like this. ”

Zolman shook his head.

"Not really."

He opened his eyes again, as if he didn't know when he had made up his mind, and there was a certain determination in his eyes.

"I'm wondering if there's a possibility that someone as powerful as you can truly realize Lord Icarus's dream."

“……？”

Shaye's brows furrowed a little deeply, what is this guy stinky fart, why did he suddenly seem to praise that bastard.

Isn't the topic of wooing a long time ago, and although the bastard's methods are insidious, he is not unable to distinguish between right and wrong and the situation, and in this case the fool joins them.

Rowe narrowed his eyes at Zolman.

Is this guy crazy? Looking at his appearance, he clearly reveals a more sober appearance than ever.

"Don't get me wrong," Zolman lowered his head coldly, "It's a very difficult decision for me to make, but it's arguably the only way out that can be guaranteed with certainty right now, and I'm willing to bear all the rest of my sins for this." ”

"If you have something to say, just say it, I don't have any ideas in my head that you are boasting."

"I hope—"

Zolman took a deep breath, but looked at Rowe with hatred in his eyes.

"Sacrifice Lord Icarus to you."

“……”

“……”

Everyone: "????? ”
