Act 286 The ancient revival
"Luther, hasn't that guy Irs from Prometheus appeared yet?" Choi Xisi asked by cageing her slender arms into the clumsy magic gloves.
She raised her head, and the battlefield in her eyes was both chaotic and well-behaved. From time to time, rows of black armored imperial troops passed by, spears formed a forest, connecting with the front line where the earth elements were attacking fiercely in the distance. From time to time, magical lights rose, reflected in the arc light in the eyes, like the rising stars in the night sky.
Many people are afraid of death, destruction, chaos, and pain, but she is not afraid, as if she was born to face such a scene, she only inserted her hands into the back of her head, tied up her long brown hair, and tied it into a bunch at will. Then she shook her head, and a ponytail swung her left and right.
She simply put on the alchemist's armor and walked forward. Luther followed behind, looking at the battlefield here in contemplation, and only came to his senses until he heard her speak, and shook his head: "I heard that it has not appeared yet, but I am not Prometheus's man, and they may not have anything to hide from the outside."
Cui Xisi thought for a moment and changed the topic. "This time the Elemental Lord appeared very early. Luther, you have experienced the previous trial. Do you have any opinions on this? What is the purpose of the empire fighting against the earth element of the riot underground every few years? It is time-consuming and laborious. Why isn't it done once? Is it said that the Oshu people are so eye-catching to us just to benefit those of us?"
Luther shook his head gently, "Of course not, Cui Xisi, 'Elemental Blessing' is important, but that is not the main intention of the empire. This 'plan' is the same, but we cannot make the entire elemental layer of Sintaan collapse. This is the strategy that 'that gentleman' and His Majesty set together-"
"The plan developed by the Imperial Workshop has concealed most people, including the Duke. And we are just one link. It is better to say that the alliance's participation makes us one link. The Oshus will not stop and wait for us."
Cui Xisi curled her lips, "I thought the league had a lot of face."
"I heard that the league has another plan..." Luther replied.
He originally planned to say something, but suddenly he thought of something and stopped subconsciously.
Fortunately, Cui Xisi didn't care, and interrupted him and said, "I'm not complaining. After all, if you end all this early, I'll miss it."
"It's just... so hard and laborious. Twenty-three such steering valves are mostly located at the element enrichment point. The Oshu people said that they have closed three important mining areas for this reason. It's a big deal for the empire. I don't know how many people are involved in this. It's okay for those who benefit from it. Those who have been harmed really have no resentment at all?"
"I don't care much about these things on weekdays, but I often hear them in the guild that the Empire is calm on the surface, but it seems like sitting on a powder barrel. But the calmer it is, the more uneasy it is. The conflict between the Seven Magicians' family and the alchemists is getting worse. Are you not worried about this at all?"
She said, turning around and looking at the other person with her green eyes.
Luther smiled, "How could it be that there was no such conflict? Such a conflict has been laid since the beginning of the reform thirty years ago. The upper forces of the Oshu people struggled secretly, and countless families and names were wiped out in the life-and-death dispute. Do you still remember what happened twenty years ago? What happened in the Principality of the Deterrence was not widely circulated outside of Cintaan, but it is a story that has been passed down to this day in the empire, especially among alchemists and magicians..."
"It's just that such struggles in the past have never risen to the surface, but they have become more and more superficial in the past twenty years, not only limited to the empire, but even affect the second world and around the empire. Do you still remember the internal strife in the third division a few years ago? It's not just their reasons. Because the people of Kaurin have already noticed something..."
He paused for a moment.
These topics can be considered as confidential to a certain extent within Gray Field. If it weren't for his sweetheart, he would never have said so much. But it's not all that. Cui Xisi was born in the Sacrament Guild, and some secrets are not secrets to her.
"...The changes brought about by that decision in the past have affected today. The fragmentation within the empire has evolved to the point where he has to fight to the death. Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor would not have promoted this 'plan so urgently. You know, the 'Black Army' was established because of this. They have revealed their sharp blades in the northern border of the empire for the first time. As long as the Duke dies, there will be fewer oppositions in the empire."
Cui Xisi had a different view on this, "Is it so easy? If one side of the Seven Magic Family is so easy to deal with, that lord would not have delayed until today. Once the Duke died, it may indeed be without a leader there for a while, but it may also cause them to break up completely. Aren't you afraid of starting another civil war? Besides, that Duke really died so easily?"
"The empire always goes from one war to another."
Luther answered the question with an Ostra proverb, “The key is not war, but whether the Emperor is ready, at least now, he thinks he is full of wings. As for us,” he smiled, “Gray Field is no longer on the throne, and now it’s your turn to copy the heart.”
Cui Xisi turned her head and looked at him strangely.
The two of them had already walked across the battlefield side by side, but they also stopped at this moment. A magical glow rose from the Oshu people's position, reflecting the outline of her side face.
"It was the teacher who told me," Luther replied, "He said, 'Then is an era when we need to stand side by side. Whether that ambitious plan is successful or not, Gray Field will retreat behind the scenes', Choi Xis, if you want to win the 'champion', I will help you."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I don't need anyone's help," Cui Xisi bit her lip, feeling a little upset. What does King of Gray FOX mean? She learned some plans from the guild to some extent, but the man was willing to make Gray Field fall under the will of others. That was not the character of King of Gray.
She didn't think it was because of her endless charm.
The two fell silent.
They had passed through a series of soldiers of the imperial people, and not far from the front line, scattered stones rushed over from time to time with a scream. Luther raised his hand, and a fire lighted up from behind him, and smashed the rocks into pieces in the air.
The performance of the two attracted the attention of others around them. A team of callers ran over from afar and begged to them in a bad mood: "You are here just in time. Those damn earth-embryo attacks are too fierce. Which guild are you from? Can you support me?"
But most people stopped when they said this, their eyes fell on the two men's robes, and then they showed a look of respect and fear. "Saints Guild, Gray Field's people?" The other party's tone couldn't help but restrain his tone, "Is there anything you have to do?"
"It has nothing to do with you," Cui Xisi looked at the flying earth element, feeling a little distracted, "I will deal with those things, as for you to return to your own queue."
The other party was a little happy when he heard this, thanked him repeatedly, and turned around and left.
Choi Xisi looked back at Luther, "Are you going to come or I?"
"Let's go together," Luther said, "I'm the main attacker, you can just use the ability of the fairy to assist me. Although you have a light guide, you should keep that thing until the most critical time."
...
A silver light flashed through the air.
Fang Yu raised his hand and carefully let the clockwork fairy land on his palm.
The clockwork fairy was slightly injured and almost caught by the craftsmen of the imperialists. Fortunately, countless mechanical gadgets are crisscrossing each other on the battlefield, and the other party didn't have time to see the special appearance of the clockwork fairy for a while.
In such a big scene, there must be craftsmen on the empire on the formation. He is still the best among his peers, but he is still not enough to see in front of real masters. The gap in experience is like a natural barrier, and it is impossible to make up for it in a short period of time by relying on talent and zero crystals.
But they are not without advantages. After all, the main focus of the Imperial combat craftsmen is on the front line of fighting against the earth elements. They never imagined that someone would sneak into this place secretly, and they would not expect that there would be a combat craftsman among their opponents.
Fang Yu ordered his eyeliner to carefully avoid the Imperial people's reconnaissance fan and figured out the main distribution areas of the other party's clockwork fairies one by one, so that the Seven Seas Brigade could hide behind the left wing of the Imperial people. At this moment, it was difficult for both the earth element and the Imperial people to find them hiding here.
But the only question is, should we continue to take risks?
Half of the week's holidays have passed. They leave today. This time, it may be difficult to find an opportunity to return again. The next time, maybe they have to wait until the end of the Mainland League. It's not that he can't wait, but the heavy rewards from Elite, Godslayer and Silver Weislan will be gone.
When he thought of this, Fang Zhu seemed to be scratching his heart. That was such a big sum of money and a bright gold coins! How could he let it go?
Fang Zhu gently closed the hinged fairy feathers of the clockwork fairy and put it in his arms. There was another thing in his mind - "'Elemental Blessing'?" The empire actually called the current scene a "trial". What was the idea of the Aoshu people and what was the "plan"? Does the black army refer to the imperial knights in front of them with black armor?
And what are the tall iron pillars inserted into the ground?
He just saw Cui Xisi on the battlefield. He was one of the few people he was familiar with in the empire. He didn't expect to see the other person here, which immediately lowered his silver bee. He didn't expect to hear her conversation with Luther.
Unfortunately, the battlefield was too noisy, and with the Silver Bee's information collection ability, he only captured some keywords, such as "Plan", "Black Army", and "His Majesty the Emperor". Cui Xisi and the other person seemed to be discussing the Duke.
He originally planned to continue listening, but at that time a clockwork fairy belonging to the empire passed by his silver bee. In order not to be discovered by the other party, he urgently ordered his clockwork fairy to avoid it and almost crashed into the nearby rock wall.
He is already very capable of taking it back completely.
"Alisa, Silvede, Jita, have you heard of 'Elemental Blessings'?" Fang Yu turned around and asked several of the staff ladies in the group. Miss Nightingale was well-informed, the ship officer was delicate, the naturalist was well-informed, and Luo Yu was the think tank in the group.
But Luo Yu was far away from the other end to monitor the movements of the earth element, so he had to turn to the other three.
However, the three of them were stunned, then shook their heads to show that they knew nothing about it. Silvede pondered for a moment, but said, "Captain, do you still remember the dark blessings from the three lizard tribes to you and Tenerik together, maybe they are of the same kind?"
Fang Zhu thought about something.
But at this time, some scholars who were obviously not interested in the spirit raised their heads and looked at them with some concern, saying, "Brother Ed, I don't know anything about 'elemental blessing'. But you'd better come and see this, I feel a little uneasy."
"What's wrong?"
The scholar opened his magic book, and the core crystal embedded in the pages was shining brightly, which was a scene that Fang Yu had never seen before.
At the same time, in the army of the imperial people, the mysterious magician was also standing up from his position again. He lifted his robe and pulled out a silver-gray, masterless magic book from below, and he also opened the magic book.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The core crystal in the Magic Book is emitting a dazzling light.
The magician looked at this scene incredible way, then raised his head.
A chilling wave ripples through the invisible space, like the first ripples rising above the sea of Aitalia. The dark side of the world, the sea of ether, and the magical storm is gathering.
Not everyone can keenly feel the changes in the elemental layer.
But the person who felt it stopped at the same time.
The astrology, magicians, and even the combat craftsmen on the front line and the magic swordsmen all stopped their movements, as if they were still experiencing the throbbing in their hearts.
Cui Xisi suddenly exclaimed softly. She had originally assisted Luther in breaking a earth element and was about to go to the next battlefield. This was her stage. She had to get the "Crown Blessing" and then go to the Second World.
This may be just a game, but she must also be the one to win.
But the sudden mental impact made her stop, and she looked at the darkness and deepness unexpectedly, and there seemed to be something hidden there - the power from the elemental layer was nurturing, as if the depths of the darkness had opened an eye.
"Luther?" Cui Xisi asked subconsciously.
"Yeah," the boy nodded, "I felt it too."
...
"This is……"
Fang Zhu looked at the magic book in Jita's hand.
The scholar's tone seemed anxious, and even brought a hint of crying, "...Brother Ed, I don't know very well. Just now when I cast spells and exhausted my magic power and found a way to draw strength from the sea of ether here..."
"…The elemental layer below the sea of ether here does not seem to be calm... It seems, as if something is awakening..."
She trembled and said, "I, we have to leave this place quickly...Brother Ed."
Fang Yu was about to speak, but suddenly a trace of exactly the same throbbing in his heart.
That feeling is like a person suddenly being electrocuted, like a needle gently stabbing your heart, causing blood to flow back, the atrium curled up, and even his breathing paused for a moment. Countless pictures passed through his mind like lightning and thunder.
Ancient, mysterious, heavy, angry thoughts.
Just like the beginning of time, when chaos and the first opening, countless emotions finally turned into a thunderous thunder, drawing a lightning in the darkness, separating the sky and the earth, rising into the sea surface of the ether, and descending into elemental matter.
The two worlds are then reflected in each other.
In that ancient era, the original life was born.
They are the starting point of the Etaria elements.
"Um?"
“Huh?”
"Hmm..."
Three voices sounded in Fang Zhu's heart regardless of order, namely Dragon Queen Alesha, Miss Tata and Fang Nini.
Fang Nini was just puzzled, Miss Tata was just a little confused from the changes in the elements and the sea of ether, but only the majestic voice of the Dragon Queen Alesha was the first to ring, "Leave this place immediately, little bug."
"Little bug?"
"Stop talking nonsense," Alessa's voice was rarely filled with anxiety, "There is an existence of the same level as me, awakens."
“That’s…”
What else she wants to say.
But Fang Yu had already answered for her first, "Elemental Tyrant." Not only was he not afraid, he felt a little excited in his heart. "The literature says that they are the starting point of the birth of Aitalia, the creator and manager of the elemental world, and one of the oldest lives in the world."
It seems to be in response to his answer.
The entire underground world was silent at this moment. The sounds on the battlefield, howling earth elements, elemental creatures, huge puppets, and the two elemental lords in the confrontation, everything fell into a strange silence.
Then the stones on the ground made a subtle sound, crackling, and they swayed and floated up from the ground, just like an invisible hand holding them up, causing them to rise into the air.
Everyone was watching this strange scene.
Even earth elements.
The next moment, a roar echoed from another world.
Then a giant rock claw tear the space and from then on revealed the true side of the world - behind it is a gray sea of light, and the floating starlight is reflected in the universe like thousands of stars.
The behemoth was squeezed out from the crack, and people seemed to see its entity, but they seemed to see nothing, only a pair of eyes flashing with anger, watching everything in the material world behind the door.
The crack in the space actually made a squeaking sound, and the claws firmly fixed it, making it unable to close it, and expanded it little by little, one, two, and more claws fell on the door, and then tore it apart from both sides.
The behemoth behind it finally came into people's vision.
Everyone looked at this scene with their heads raised, like puppets, including the mysterious magician, including Cui Xisi and Luther. The girl opened her mouth wide. She had never told them that this happened in the trials over the years.
That was the god of elementals, with just two giant claws, which almost occupied most of the space of this underground rock lake.
The huge shadow was condescending and suffocating.
“Oio'kak Maeon Aazkkz.”
An ancient word is reflected in people's hearts.
"The Lord of Light is here..." The sound of the imperial people praying also came from the battlefield. The voice was trembling and full of despair.
Only Fang Zhu can maintain calmness.
He was staring at the creatures of the ancient times, with some thoughts moving in his mind.
...Those are just speculations, and no one has ever seen the existence of the Elemental Monarch in Etariya.
The origin of the elements comes from many eras before, the oldest documents of the Black Throne, the Snake Man of Cinsas, and the Noumerlin Elf.
But it turns out that the legend really exists.
Fang Yu took a light breath. The first thing he thought of was not the threat of death, but the fact that he finally had something to hand in his paper.
What's more important is not this.
A lightning flashed in his heart, and he suddenly understood what the imperial people were doing.
‘They are the oldest kings in this world, governing all things… from the world of elements, and controlling the balance of the seven floating continents.’
Fang Yu turned around and looked at the others.
"Wait, aren't you afraid?"
Xiaoyao, Shui Wuming looked at his expression and couldn't help asking.
At the same time, there was a third voice asking the same question, except that the first two voices came from the material world, while the other voice came from his heart.
After saying this, Alessa immediately kept silent.
She couldn't believe that she had asked such a stupid question with two mortals. If she could, she would have to turn this underground world into powder and make everything that happened here disappear.
If she was still in her heyday, she would indeed be able to do all this, and even an elemental monarch could not stop her. But not now, it would be difficult for her to display her power again like she did in the North.
"Of course I'm afraid," Fang Rong looked at the others, "but it's useless to be afraid at the moment. It's just that our underground adventure has come to an end, everyone."
Of course he is not a fool.
If people die for money, they have to get money.
The others nodded.
Naturally, everyone can distinguish between priorities.
Chapter completed!
