方鸻想明白了这些事情,抬起头看向奥黛丝,开口问道:“所以女神大人,娜迦一族的目的和我们是一致的,那个以太节点的相关信息也在海盗王威廉的秘宝之中?”

女战士目光落在一行人身上,用平静的态度反问:“你们不问问,为什么我事先不告诉你们这些?你们不怀疑是我故意引导你们走进这场风暴的中央,与娜迦们针锋相对么?”

方鸻摇摇头,这不明摆着的事情么.他们是选召者,任务本质上是一场交易,交易的奖励与风险是对等的,当看到那个任务描述的那一刻,七海旅团的每一个人多少都已有所准备.

在他们击败了那伙灰白海盗时,系统就提示他们完成了任务,除了船上的原住民之外,每个人都将获得一到两级的等级提升,这种任务放在任何人身上,都没有理由去拒绝.

何况若他们的目的真的一致,那七海旅团与娜迦一族对上不过是迟早的事情,他们总不可能去与黑暗生灵合作,何况娜迦一族也不太可能与凡人展开合作.

他们唯一可以苛责的不过是这位女神大人为何不提前告知这些,让七海旅团可以早作准备,但事实上也没什么好准备的,他们一上岛就知道了岛上的状况,也早已预料到可能发生的一切.

Now even under Naga's eye, they still have to go to the Pirate King's treasure house, and the extra information cannot change anything.

Since he can't change it, there is no need to speak, so as not to waste time.

Regarding this question, Fang Yu simply answered: "In your opinion, we are the Holy Chosen and Goddess. This world is different from you in our opinion."

女神眼中闪过一丝了然,轻轻颔首,“原来如此,不过之前不告诉你们这一切,是因为必须确定各位的来意,是敌或友.你们愿意伸出援手,已证明你们可以作为坚定的盟友,接下来我会告诉你们更多的事情.”

"Including the treasure house of the Pirate King?" Fang Zhu asked.

女神点点头,“那只是履行我们约定的一部分,并算不上是额外的信息,我从未想过要毁约,你们不必担心.我要向各位讲明白的一点是,海盗王威廉,或者说罗德里戈·德安里斯手上掌握的那个以太节点,不仅仅是风暴群岛最重要的以太节点,也是辛塔安北境最后一个以太节点.”

“那些黑暗的生灵正是为此而来,因为以太节点乃是艾塔黎亚物质界与以太之海连接的关键,一旦节点湮灭,从以太之海掀起的狂涛就会吞没一切,那正是娜迦一族所期许产生的变化.”

“年轻的炼金术士,北境的风暴一年盛似一年,其中正是由于大量的以太节点失陷导致的.这之中一部分原因是由于娜迦一脉的逐渐蚕食,但另一部分原因是由于帝国人的亲手所导致——”

She told the story, but Fang Yu frowned when he heard it, "Empire?"

"That's right, are you confused? The Empire not only did not stop it, but instead contributed to the fire. But they actually had their own considerations," the goddess still seemed calm when she said this, but it seemed to be chasing it. "The Empire was carrying out a plan, but this plan led to a seemingly consistent result."

"It seems to be consistent?" Fang Yu asked: "That is to say, the purpose of the Empire and the Naga clan is not consistent? So what is the meaning of their fueling? Watching the Naga lineage eat away from the sea islands and even further invade the Kampa area."

The goddess replied, "You are very keen."

Fang Zhu shook his head.

As far as he knew, although the Osseys relaxed their surveillance north of Sintaan, the Imperial Navy still regarded the dark creatures outside Hanrui as a great enemy.

What's more, when they came, they saw the Empire's fleet fighting with the Naga tribe's spaceships - the silver sailing fleet that should be the Sword Court.

Everything shows that the Empire and Naga are not allies.

In fact, there is only one possibility left. The ether node is not only related to the connection between the main material world of Aitalia and the sea of ​​ether, but also has another function, that is, the cornerstone of the crystal tower.

That is true for the Craftsman Association, but in fact, tracing the origin of all ether theory - elements and ether also present a more original image, namely starlight, but except for the caller, ordinary people cannot use such power through the star gate.

However, there is one thing that is different.

Green Star.

Fang Rong asked: "Goddess, are the imperial people searching for the location of the sea of ​​light through the ether nodes and driving the most essential power of starlight?"

A trace of surprise flashed in the female warrior's eyes when he looked at him. The goddess's usual calm face had less expressions than she had appeared. "You know more than I thought, young alchemist, what else do you know?"

"I also know that burning the starlight will lead the world to a state of no return. Ascend the Sintaan continent and draw the starlight from the Ethernet veins, are the imperial people preparing for the arrival of the third disaster star, Goddess?"

Goddess Odice shook her head, "There are some secrets in this world that I don't know, so I don't know what the Imperial people plan, but they are indeed looking for the sea of ​​light as you expected."

She looked at Fang Zhu again unexpectedly, "Light Sea, only the lizards tribe usually call it that way. Did you get this knowledge from them?"

That's right, Fang Rong thought-at least part of it was.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Goddess, the lizards think that the sea of ​​light is extinguishing. Do you know what this means?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Originally, this question was not suitable for placement in this place, but the Tada Lizard priests from Ka-Cuilan once told him that when the dark blessings on him fail, it means that the sea of ​​light is heading towards the end of extinction.

Now the blessings on him have expired, but what does it mean to extinguish the sea of ​​light? It seems that the impact on the material world of Aitalia is not too great, at least so far, he has not felt it yet.

"The demise of the ether node is part of the extinction of the sea of ​​light," replied the goddess Audice, "The great storm you see now is just a tip of its influence under the iceberg. The sage of the Lizardman clan predicted the extinction of the sea of ​​light, which is closely related to the fate of the entire Aitalia. When the third disaster star comes, the whole world will be in the end of destruction."

Fang Yu was stunned for a while. This sentence sounded lightly to the goddess, but it previewed the end of a world. Although he had known that the third disaster star would come early, both the Lizards clan, the imperial people, and the lady who was suspected to be a god in front of him seemed to have seen it and agreed with the ending.

Among them, only the Oshu people's reaction was normal, although it seemed a little hysterical. Whether it was to raise the entire floating continent or to extract the power of starlight from the sea of ​​light, it was just to deal with the crisis.

But no matter what, they are at least escaping from this doomsday.

But normal does not mean that he agrees. What the Oshu people are doing is to bring the world from one destructive end to another destined end, which he has witnessed long ago at the end of the starry sky.

Friston's soul proved it all.

At this time, Audice spoke: "But most of your guesses are correct, but there are quite a deviation in the purpose of the imperial people. The purpose of the empire is not to extract starlight, but to open a channel."

"Open the channel?"

"Yes," replied the goddess, "they are looking for allies on the other side of the passage, but those 'allies' are not good news for this world."

Channel?Alliance?

Fang Yu's heart suddenly jumped. If he had not experienced such a battle in the northern border of Kaorin-Ishurien, he might have been confused about these two words. But at this moment, it was difficult for him not to associate these two words with what he saw at that time.

The so-called opening of the passage is that he has seen that scene in the sky of Elpahin, and he has even witnessed the world behind the passage. In the world under the dull and dark sea, there is only a dark ruin.

There are countless dense black fleets of war rising from the ruins, so who are the allies the empire is looking for, and it is about to emerge.

That moment was like a flash of lightning passing through the world of his thoughts.

If all this can be linked to everything that happened to Elpahin, it is naturally the missing crystal tower - yes, if the Empire just searched for the source of the Sea of ​​Ether from the Ether nodes and extracted the starlight from it.

Then there is no need for them to hide a crystal tower from the Ethernet vein.

The most essential function of the crystal tower is actually to act as ether coordinates. This is how craftsmen use it to convey messages across the sky and sea. The coordinates have another meaning, that is, they exist as the coordinate base point of the transmission channel.

When the shadow man opened the passage above Elpaxin, it was with Elpaxin's crystal tower as the coordinate reference object that there were three invaded crystal towers in the crystal network at that time. Since the Battle of the North, two of the crystal towers have been destroyed.

Only the rest is the Empire.

Then at this moment, everything the Empire did was connected with the missing crystal tower. "The Empire formed an alliance with the Filmmaker?" Fang Yu asked, "They plan to establish a channel to let the Filmmaker return to this world?"

He actually had some speculations earlier, so he didn't seem particularly surprised at this moment, but he still had some doubts: "But what happened to those deceased ether nodes? Also, aren't the Naga clan also dark creatures, but why are they not standing with the Empire?"

"You know the shadow man, no wonder you know the secrets about the Empire," Goddess Audice was a little surprised again, but this time it was a little lighter than the last time. "It's actually easy to understand. The Empire hopes to find the entrance to that world through the ether node. They have done more than once experiments for this, and the most critical and important ether node finally fell into the hands of the Pirate King William, that is, Mr. Rodrigo Deanris."

"For the ultimate goal of storm from the sea outside the storm and swallowing the world, the Naga tribe also needs that node," Fang Yu added, "So the purposes of the Empire and the Naga tribe are the same, but their ultimate demands are different? But have the Naga tribe and the Shadowmen both been dark creatures brought by Cangcui?"

"There are differences between creatures," Audice replied in a calm voice. "The Kaorin and the Empire also belong to humans. Don't they fight? There are also disputes between the dark creatures. Naga and Shadowman are not natural allies. Cangcui is still fashionable and not bad. Now they have no will to rule everything. What's more, the Naga tribe is no longer the same in Hanrui. Although they are still fighting, cruel and bloodthirsty, and incompatible with the civilized tribe, they are no longer invaders of another world in the past."

Fang Yu only then realized it.

This principle is actually very simple, but he didn't expect it for a moment.

He just suddenly thought of something - that imperial fleet, the fleet of the Sword Court, suddenly appeared on the island at this time. Now that the goddess has revealed the mystery of the empire, the other party's purpose is about to come out.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fang Yu looked up at Audice: "Goddess, is this your trump card?"

"That's true," Audice's tone was calm as usual. "The purpose of the Empire and the Naga clan is both that node, but as long as that node does not fall into the hands of either side, the Empire's purpose cannot be achieved, and the Shadowman cannot come to this world. As long as the node still exists, Naga cannot set off a storm that swept the entire Campa."

"Only in this way can this island be saved, and even all the people in the entire northern border will be saved," she looked at Fang Zhu, "That is why I will test you. In fact, before you, I have also tested the elected people, but they do not have that ability-"

"So you chose us?" Fang Yu asked.

"It still depends on your wishes," Goddess Odice shook his head. "I will not force anyone to tell you this when I give you a test, but I want you to go deep into the center of this storm and will naturally inform you in advance what you are going to face."

She paused, "But I didn't expect that you would be so deeply involved with these secrets. Perhaps it was the will of the Star Gate behind you who came here."

"Even the goddess believes in these things?" Fang Yu was a little surprised.

The indigenous people called those who came to this world through the star gate as holy elections because they believed that they had a great will to control all this. Every caller and every person who passed through the star gate were controlled by a fate in the dark to come to this world and fulfill their mission.

Of course, this statement seems nonsense to the candidates, because most people believe in their free will, not to mention that except for a few, most people come to this world and do not complete any "epic tasks".

When one or two legendary tasks are occasionally born among a thousand and ten thousand people, people generally only regard it as a low probability event, not a result of it or a necessity of fate.

When the sample size is large enough, some specific characters will naturally be born from it.

"The Gods are just following their plans, but more camps, positions and functions bind them," Audice replied quietly. "In fact, mortals are no different. No one can be completely free. Your decisions are just a common choice. In fact, many things have determined your direction before that - the environment you live, the education you have received, even the genes and your endocrine system - those complex conditions we call them destiny."

She said, "It is said that there is not the same thing in your world, character determines destiny."

Fang Rong was stunned. He didn't expect that a god would only tell him about this, what social environment, personality determines experience, what genes and endocrine are, all of this seems to be too out of place with the world of Aitalia, especially with a god.

Besides, Audice was not like any god he had ever seen, whether it was Marlan, Ameya or Milera, the three goddesses were much more divine when they came, and would not say so much nonsense to him.

In comparison, the goddess in front of him seemed too calm, more like Angina in folk legends. It is said that the God of Knowledge also seemed so rational and calm when talking to the believers.

But Angie is a male god.

"So have you decided," Audice asked, "or are you going back and discussing with your crew?"

Fang Yu shook his head. Before he came, he had already discussed with everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade. Or rather, when they took on the mission before, they had already made a decision. No matter what the purpose of the Empire was or what the purpose of the Nagas were, they must go to the treasure house of the Pirate King William.

Moreover, all this is closely related to everyone in the northern border of Sinta'an. Although the life and death of the empire may have nothing to do with the Seven Seas Brigade, the empire is an empire, and those ordinary people living in Campa have no grudges with them.

Not to mention, they have established some connection with the indigenous peoples on the island, girls like Daniele, and her and her sister's family, they can't watch the innocent people swallowed up by this rainstorm.

If they tried but didn't do it, it was naturally unimaginable, but now the purpose they have been pursuing is there, and they stopped because of certain factors, that's another matter.

In any case, he did not want the Qihai Brigade to choose the latter when facing a choice.

"We have decided, Goddess," Fang Ling replied, "but we can only agree to go to the Pirate King's treasure house, which is our original purpose. As for that ether node, if we find it in the Pirate King's secret treasure, we will try to deal with it, but it may not be guaranteed-"

Goddess Audice seemed not surprised and nodded, "That's enough. I still have a way to deal with that ether node. But this time, I will go to the pirate king's treasure house with you."

Fang Yu nodded subconsciously, but immediately raised his head and looked at the other party unexpectedly: "Wait... wait, Goddess, you said you... will go with us?"
