695 Grandpa
Compared with the majestic giant mountains on the Kovare Continent, the Star Mountains are just a smaller mountain range, but the altitude and area are as amazing as the players. Wutong and the others climbed for more than two days before they truly climbed to the peak where the Star Peak Observatory is located.
You said that Wutong would ride A Zi and put everyone in the endless hut and fly up?
Do you know that the Star Mountains are Mao and Shadayu Forest, the Ash Bone Plain and other places are listed as high-risk maps?
Because the Star Mountains are places where various wild griffins, wild dragon eagles, giant rock eagles, and other giant birds live, there are even bipedal flying dragons and pterodactyls (not pterodactyls among dinosaurs), which belong to sub-blood dragons, the lowest of these terrible creatures are above level 6, and there are even legendary ranks of 8 and 10,695 collections of old grandfather ranks. Do you think that in the territory of these air overlords, a 3-level mage in Wutong dares to fly into the sky and challenge their authority?
Although he was indeed a little arrogant before, shocked the players who were eyeing the Obsidians' Corps, he also had to look at the target, otherwise he would be arrogant. Compared with most of the powerful local species of "Endless", players are still too weak.
After climbing over one undulating mountain range after another, Wutong and the others finally climbed to the Star Peak and saw the legendary "exiled" headquarters of the Star Speech Association. This monastery-style rock building standing alone on the peak occupied the entire peak. The spire houses were surrounded by a towering spike-like stone tower. There is the so-called building closest to the sky in the Kovare continent, the Star Peak Observation Platform!
On this mountain without any grass, in front of the dilapidated and majestic ancient building, even the sycamore tree couldn't help but hold its breath and feel the heavy and simple historical atmosphere it emits.
This place where there is no grass and no people, there is no food, no water, no animals, or even no plants, only bare rocks exposed to the sun, it is hard to imagine how the starlings and stargazers who were forbidden to leave here survived here.
The place where they could almost hear their breathing and howling wind was silent, quiet but not dead. Wutong and the others carefully approached the gate of the "Star Words Association" with only the door post. Looking at the shattered stone slabs in the courtyard, a small lizard crawled over quickly and suddenly stopped in the courtyard. They raised their heads curiously and looked at the uninvited guests. They quickly lost interest, thrust their short legs, ran into a corner and hid.
Regarding this mountaintop building that carries too much history and legend, Wutong and the others maintained their greatest respect, just as most pioneers and scientists were burned to death. The knowledge mastered by these stargazers in the sky is both their capital and the inducement of disaster to them. For some rulers, such power is intolerable if they are not mastered by themselves. Since they cannot be obtained, then destroy it.
According to stargazer Bruno, the several major disasters encountered in the history of the Star Words Association are almost all related to the disasters brought about by the knowledge they have mastered. However, when Wutong asked, he was unwilling to explain in detail, looking like he was deeply revenge.
As one of the exiled, Bruno was so excited that he couldn't stand on the ground of the courtyard of the "Astral Speech Association". After a while, he fell to his knees in tears and kissed the broken ancient stone slabs. Wutong and the others stood behind Bruno who was sobbing in his throat. They could vaguely see the broken stone slabs. Each piece recorded a large number of ancient words, perhaps some important documents or astrological calendars. Unfortunately, most of them had been destroyed by the war in the many disasters, and one ten was not left.
"Are guests from afar? It's really rare. How long has it been since strangers set foot here?"
An old voice came from the dilapidated building, and a thin and short figure walked out from the shadow of the building. It was an old man wearing a shabby thick linen robe, like a piece of dried orange peel. The traces of time left deep carving marks on his face, and there were not many sparse white hair on his head, which made him look very strange.
The thin and short body was hunched over, like a rotten wood without moisture at all. The withered one could no longer stretch out. Only the pair of still shining eyes were still bright and full of wisdom.
Bruno was stunned, and after lying on the ground and looking up stupidly for a long time, he shouted in disbelief: "Are you Mr. Racht?"
"Racht? Well, I haven't heard of this title for a long time! Fortunately, I haven't forgotten yet. Who are you? Why did you come to this place that has been forgotten by the world?"
The old man looked at the excited Bruno and thought about it for a long time, but obviously he could not remember who the "young man" in front of him was, who was also white with hair and beard.
Bruno shouted excitedly: "His Excellency President Racht! It's me! Your student Bruno!"
"Bruno? This name sounds familiar. Maybe I can find it by looking up the roster? Ah, today's weather is good, maybe the clouds will be thinner tonight, and it's a good day to appreciate the ring of Siberis."
President Racht seemed to live in his own world, and walked tremblingly to Wutong and the others. While muttering without any words, he carefully looked at Wutong in the crowd, and suddenly a smile like an old chrysanthemum: "It's you, the young destiny, welcome you to the Star Peak Observatory!"
Wutong looked at the somewhat sensual President Racht in confusion. He seemed to be a little confused. He looked hundreds of years older than Zemur. His skin was covered with old man spots, and blurred marks of faces could be seen on his face.
Bruno, who was crying, choked up and said, "His Excellency President Racht, are you the only one left in the headquarters? Where are the other brothers and sisters?"
President Racht looked at Bruno with kind eyes, stretched out his thin palm with almost only skin wrapped around his bones and stroked the top of Bruno's head: "The children are tired, and they choose to ignite the fate of sparks."
It seemed that President Racht also remembered who Bruno was, helped him up with his weak arm, and smiled and said, "Come on, I hope I can find some drinks to entertain our guests." As he said that, regardless of whether Wutong and the others had followed him, he turned around and walked into the room with trembling steps.
Wutong followed the old man and quietly asked for the excited Bruno. She finally understood some doubts.
His Excellency President Racht is the last president of the Starsman Association. He has been serving as president for thousands of years. Before the "Endless Islands Teleportation Array Network" incident led to the exile of the stargazers, he was already in this ageing appearance. Even members of the Starsman Association did not know how old he was.
It is obvious that the mysterious president has exceeded the limit of human lifespan, but no one has ever proved that he has reached the legendary level and has broken through the "millennium barrier".
When the members of the "Stars Words Association" were exiled by forces from the Kovare Continent, most of the "young" stargazers were exiled to the Endless Islands to guard the Neser Formation, while the older "Stars Words" were detained at the headquarters and strictly prohibited from going out.
Therefore, after the long period of detention, most Star Words could not bear this imprisoned life and chose to end their lives. In the form of Star Words, they ignited the "spark fire" and burned themselves, while a small number chose "soul exile", leaving behind their bodies, and wandering the astral world in the form of souls, which was equivalent to choosing another form of freedom.
Lorena, who thought Elder Racht had reached his ears, followed Wutong and couldn't help but mutter: "This old man looks so confused. What's the use of us coming to find him? Does he still remember how to draw a teleportation array?"
Unexpectedly, President Racht turned around and smiled: "Little girl, although I am very old, I still have a clear mind. I still remember the name of every star in the starry sky."
Everyone, everyone, remember the name of each star? How amazing is this memory?
Taking everyone to a hall that looked like a reception room, President Racht touched and took out a pottery jar from a rotten storage cabinet. After shaking it, a bunch of dust poured out from it. Everyone was speechless. How did this old man survive here? Could it be that he practiced fasting in the legend of the East, so he lived here for so many years without eating or drinking?
They didn't see any water and food sources here. I think there would be no water sources such as springs or groundwater that surged up on such a high altitude mountain peak?
However, after President Racht mumbled and shook the clay pot, a rustling sound of water came from inside. After cleaning it a little, he put a can of clean water on the table that looked like it would collapse when touched. He took out the pottery cup that he hadn't used for a long time and shook it. After swaying it, he placed it in front of everyone. Lorena doubted whether it had been washed. He took up a cup rashly and looked over and over again, but found that although it was old, the pottery cup was clean as if it had just been cleaned.
Others may not understand, but Wutong looked at this scene in surprise. Could President Racht be a mage or priest? His movement to clean the pottery cup just now was obviously the effect of water creation, but Wutong did not feel any fluctuations in the aristocratic energy!
Immediately afterwards, President Racht carried out a large plate from the locker and placed the large pottery plate that was a bit heavy for him on the table, like a magic trick. Before putting it down, there was nothing on the plate, but when the plate fell on the table, it was filled with a lot of dried bread slices!
"I'm sorry, there's nothing to entertain you here."
President Racht smiled and picked up a piece of dry bread and bent over and handed it to his eyes widened. He looked at his little loli curiously, touched her little head kindly, and gave her a sweet smile: "Thank you, grandpa!"
Wutong picked up a piece of dry bread in surprise. Although it was just a very ordinary slice of black bread, it smelled it and emitted a pretty good oat fragrance. After taking a bite, it was not delicious, but it was very fresh.
"Is this food making technique?"
Ling Yue Shuangxue also took a piece of dried oat bread in surprise and sniffed it. She tore off a small piece and put it in her mouth to taste it. She looked at Wutong in surprise.
Wutong can understand the meaning of Ling Yue Shuangxue. Just now, the old man seemed to have used a mage's water-making technique, and then used a priest's food-making technique. Doesn't this mean that the old man has the dual ability to use spells and divine techniques?
The old man saw Wutong and the others' surprise and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, I am neither a mage nor a priest. Whether it is magic or spells, they are just distinguished by the world. In essence, there is no difference between them."
Wutong pinched the dry bread in her hand with a strange expression. This was indeed real food, not a phantom created by illusions. The old man's words "Buddha is originally Tao" also made Wutong realize that he seemed to be implying something to him.
This feeling is very strange. When it is in the courtyard at the door, the old man seems to be "performing" something, and the title of "Fateurist" seems to make people feel strange. This title seems to be suitable for applying it to some "saviors".
As a game, almost every player is considered the "protagonist". Such titles are too bad. Any player who triggers certain tasks will almost be called similar characters by the indigenous people. In Wutong's view, this kind of divine name is completely the opening remark used by some geniuses to seduce Xiaobai to work hard for him.
Before he could figure it out, Bruno had already given all his experiences and experiences after leaving the headquarters of the Stars and Speechers to President Racht all the time, but the old man nodded with a calm smile, as if he had known all this, and even they had predicted it today.
Before Wutong and the others could express their opinions, President Racht said with a smile: "It's time for the "Star Words Association" to be rebuilt. Young destiny, thank you for everything you did for the "Star Words Association""
Wutong resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said to herself: "Here is here! Is the next sentence 'I will leave the peace of the world to you to save it!'?"
President Racht looked at Wutong with interest: "Are you here just to find a way to build a teleportation array?"
Wutong was stunned for a moment, scratched her head and said, "Well, although the method of building a teleportation array is one of the main purposes, if you don't mind, I would like to ask some other things, such as, is there an ancient ferocious beast in the Star Mountains? The wolf clan and the blood clan seem to be planning to release it and destroy my obsidian collar."
President Racht was stunned for a moment, and a strange look appeared on his old face, which was like a dry orange peel, but then after listening to Bruno's current status and various confidential information about Obsidian Corps, he laughed: "Wolf Clan and Blood Clan? When did these reptiles appear again? It seems that the green-skinned goblin, still doesn't give up?"
Everyone was confused, who is Elandis?
But President Racht did not intend to explain who "Erantis" meant, but nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, the young destiny, the 'ancient beast' is not so easy to be released. As long as I still exist for one day, the 'it' will not appear. It seems that I should leave here and go back to see this messy world again."
The old man stood up and slowly walked into the depths of the building: "Come on, since you are leaving here, there are some unusable things you can give to you as your thanks for the help of the Star Words Association!"
The old man's vague words made Wutong confused. He made such a determination that the "ancient ferocious beast" would not appear. Could it be that it was because of his existence that he "sealed" the ferocious beast? In this way, this President Racht is not a simple person either? At least he is an existence at the level of the Saint of Dawn.
As he said, he seemed to have the intention to follow them back to Obsidian's leadership, which made Wutong look weird. I don't know when he started, but he actually collected a lot of "old grandpas". This collection hobby is really speechless compared to the ideals of the tall, rich and handsome players in the palace for the purpose of collecting beauties. But this is not what Wutong wants. These mysterious old grandpas emerge one by one. What can he do?
He really doesn't have the legendary "protagonist life", otherwise why are all the old man appearing, not beautiful beauties?
Although he was a little depressed, Wutong would not be polite if he could get a gift when he traveled. As President Racht, I think his gift would not be too bad, right?
He followed the old man to the depths of the Star Words Association with some expectations, and Wutong was a little confused. Didn’t he say that the Star Words Association has been sealed? Why did he seem to be able to leave here at any time after hearing what the old man meant?
