"I have a... very bad premonition."
"What's even worse is that the premonition is about to come true." Darkus, who was strolling with his hands behind his back, responded to Kaia. He knew what Kaia was expressing. After a while, seeing that Kaia didn't respond, he continued to ask, "Don't you stay and communicate?" "
That village is on the edge of the storm area, although I don't come here often. And I have to follow because the stone The ring there... is very strange."
While chatting, Darkus came to the outskirts of the stone ring, but he did not see any stone rings on the hills, only an unnaturally thick fog. If Eye of the Storm and Ha Shen are here. He thinks these two magical creatures will be happy for a while, because the wind of Aegir here is too strong.
"There are spiritual nodes in the fog." Drusala suddenly said while looking at the thick fog in front of him.
Darkus, who felt the badge on his chest vibrating, did not respond to Drew LS. Instead, he reached into Kaitan's mezzanine and took out the Eye of Tebok. After the Eye of Tebok appeared outside his robe, it did not hang down. On the robe, it floated up and pointed at the mist.
"Don't you meditate?" Darkus said with a smile while stroking the Eye of Tapok floating in the air.
The Eye of Tebok seemed to hear Darkos's words. After swaying left and right, it pointed at the mist again.
"This ornament is connected to a sacred being. Maybe you will have the opportunity to see it in the future." Darkus felt Kaia's confusion, and he explained with a smile.
Kaia nodded without saying anything. After making a gesture of introduction, he walked straight into the mist.
"Follow closely, don't get separated." After Darkus finished speaking, he followed Kaia and walked in.
Soon, Darkus knew why Kaia insisted on coming, because... he saw a brown bear rushing over, but the brown bear did not attack, but ran to Kaia and rubbed it happily. Kaia, then two fear spirits, three trouble spirits, a despair spirit and a group of shrikes appeared at the front of the team.
Due to the presence of Kaia, this Kodama team with strong combat power did not attack the team, but instead circled around the team curiously and mischievously. Not long after the team marched, two more wolves appeared in the mist. Of course, following the wolves was also a small team of wood spirits. Not long after the team marched, two more wild boars came... At
this moment, Darkus knew why the one just now The old woman swore that she understood the wood spirits and forest spirits. She often went in and out of here and didn't understand the wood spirits. If an intruder entered this fog without knowing his own death, he could even think of what would happen with his heels. First, the valuables disappeared inexplicably, and then they were murdered by wood spirits. There is a reason why those ferocious wood spirits are called shrikes. Those ferocious wood spirits are far more terrifying than shrikes and giant wasps. When he was in Jinchi, he had seen the tragic situation of the cockatrice beast when it was attacked by shrikes.
And, that's not all, the wood spirits known as despair spirits can also use magic to create illusions, or trap intruders in other ways, such as dancing. Although they may be varied, all Kodeasts are obsessed with music. Once invited by the wood spirit to participate in the noisy celebration, the terrible thing happens. The intruder is like wearing red dancing shoes that cannot be taken off...
It seems that all the beasts and wood spirits in the fog are coming, Dark Just like Kaia before, Us also had a vague premonition. As he went deeper into the fog, his premonition turned into reality, because he discovered that there were actually stone slabs here.
"This..." The strolling Darkus sighed. He found that this was a long-term undertaking. Akadan and other Skink Oracles who were riding cave dragons and walking on the Lustria continent kept stopping. I have been maintaining the spiritual vein nodes in the jungle and searching for slates, but I still can’t say that I have completely searched them. Moreover, a few years ago, he asked the Skink Oracle to adjust his direction and first collect useful gadgets in the isthmus area.
That's just the continent of Lustria, not the entire planet. How many spiritual nodes are there on this planet? How many hidden ancient holy sanctuaries are there? How many creations of the Old Ones are scattered around the world in various forms? Just like what I found at the shipwreck site before. Darkus always felt like he was lucky. He was looking for a hammer here and a stick here and there. Maybe he should change his approach? After surveying the spiritual vein nodes, search one by one? Or are you lucky enough to find an entry table? Looking quickly on a flying mount?
It would be great if that were the case, but the problem is that Darkus doesn't have that much time now, and the lizardmen don't have that much power, and he also feels a little noisy. It seems that each ancient saint has his own characteristics. Just like the Huangqi Temple located on the isthmus, nothing happened when he went there for the first and second time. When he and Renn went there for the third time, the ancient holy sanctuary there was opened. Damn it. Wren's Shadow Hunt? Perhaps this is a solution that is not a solution.
While Darkus was thinking, the team had passed through the lush woods and arrived at the edge of the stone circle on the hill. The strange thing is that the core area of the stone ring is not wrapped in fog. He can feel the real feeling of sunlight shining on him, as if the fog is the mechanism to protect the stone ring.
A stone ring, as the name suggests, is a ring composed of a pile of stones.
Darkus could feel the stone slab under his feet, but he couldn't find the passage. Maybe it would be better if Ren was there. But fortunately, he had the guidance of Master Ma. Under the guidance of the Eye of Taibok, he kept punching the wall in one place as if he had drunk too much, and adjusted his direction according to the guidance of the Eye of Taibok. Until Taibok's eyes lowered again, he knew it was here, but after he stood up, there was no response from his feet.
"You stay here, don't move around." Darkus observed around, and he found that he could see all the stone rings from where he was standing. It was like the best place to take pictures, and the wide angle showed everything. He looked at the stone ring and pondered for a moment, and soon he thought of a possibility. He called Franais, who was not far away from him, to come over.
Franais stood there blankly looking at Darkus's back, watching Darkus climb over the platform with difficulty...
Then, Darkus walked towards a stone standing there, on the wooden With the spirit buzzing around him, he tried to turn the stone ring, but there was no response from the stone ring. Then, as if he didn't believe in evil, he used all his strength to turn the stone ring. This time, the stone ring responded, but it was just a reaction. He didn't have the strength to move the mountain and the world, but he just pushed the stone ring slightly. If it weren't for the slight sound of turning under the stone, he wouldn't even have noticed it.
Darkus did not immediately call for help, but looked around the stone. He could clearly see the grooves on the stone. These grooves were not polished randomly, but had some basis. . He immediately thought about the stars and the ancient saint Axel Belin. Combining the stone ring here with the ancient holy sanctuary of Tal Litanel and the cloak representing Axel Belin, he had The reason is that the contractor of the Lauren Loren project is the ancient saint Axl Belin!
The problem is that Darkus knows that there is some connection between the stars in space and the ancient saints, but he doesn’t know the specifics. He is not an astrologer, and the so-called stars are so abstract. How can a few stars connected together be like this? Has it become a constellation? If Teto Ikao, who is good at astrology, would solve this problem here, the problem is that this old astrologer is far away in the continent of Lustria, so he can't make a video call.
Darkos lowered his head and stopped looking at the setting sun. He turned to look at the confused elves and the brown bear sitting there who was also confused. He thought it was pointless even at night because there was no one in the team who understood astrology. Moreover, the Eye of Taibok on his chest also failed to respond. He felt that Master Ma seemed to think he understood astrology? There was no such scruple between him and Master Ma. He patted the Eye of Taibok, but... there was no reaction.
"Stop looking at it, come and help." Darkus gritted his teeth and waved to the elves. He decided to adopt a stupid method. He looked at the brown bear still sitting there. He felt that the brown bear was stupid. , otherwise he would not be controlled by the wood spirit. He then waved to the brown bear and said, "Come here to help, I will give you honey later."
Darkus' pancake painting skills have reached the peak, and he can even face a bear with ease. As for honey? He believed Kaia and the village had a solution.
The brown bear seemed to have been triggered by the keyword, and moved under the control of the wood spirit or spontaneously. Then there was a long process of pushing the stone. The elves and the brown bears kept pushing the stone over and over again under the blind command of Darkus who stood there to compare. Standing there, he felt like he was playing a puzzle game in a certain game, but now there was an additional process, and he needed to turn the stone to the corresponding position.
After two or three hours of fussing, after the brown bear was exhausted and huffing and puffing, a magical scene happened. But there was no special effect of blue light after the stone rings were matched. Dakouz, who was focusing on the stone instead of his feet, fell directly...
Dako almost sprained his foot when he fell on the stairs. Little did Keus know that a magical scene had indeed happened.
Teto Ikao, who was taking his apprentice astrologer far away in the continent of Lustria, suddenly stopped pointing at the night sky with his hand pointing at the night sky. His eyes suddenly widened. He found that it belonged to the ancient saint Axelbe. All of Lin's constellations flashed at the same time.
After returning to the ground, Darkus made arrangements and officially entered the ancient holy sanctuary. There were no murals and no foreshadowing. Like the Ancient Holy Sanctuary and Albion Island he first discovered on the Lustria continent, the walls here are also full of a sense of technology that does not belong to this planet.
In the bright Ancient Holy Sanctuary, an eternally radiant armillary sphere full of technology was placed in the center of the sanctuary next to the Ancient Holy Creation. There were stone slabs placed in an orderly manner on the ground next to it.
"Eternal Glory Armillary Sphere? No." Franais, who has seen the world, asked and answered himself. When he first saw the device, he thought it was the armillary sphere he had seen before in Lustria, which was installed in the Eye of the Storm. He had participated in it when it was on his back, but he soon discovered that it was not the case. Although the armillary sphere placed in the center was also an armillary sphere, it was not the armillary sphere he had seen.
"Indeed it's not, it's the celestial hurricane instrument." Darkvus walked over and looked at the slate for a while, then looked at the armillary sphere and said, and then whispered, "Good guy, double SSR."
Darkvus After Si finished complaining, he took out his pipe and put it in his mouth. After lighting the tobacco, he raised his head and clasped his arms to look at the armillary sphere in front of him. As for the ancient saint's creation in the center, he didn't look at it because he had already looked at it more than once. pass. As he had thought before, the world-shaping engine variant of the ancient holy creation Lauren Loren was not only found in Tal Litanel, but also in other places in Lauren Loren. He thought it should be north of Lauren Loren. It was in Hagendorf, and ended up in Stone Circle.
The stone ring should be the connection point of the so-called spiritual vein network, connecting the Storm Zone and the Sun Zone. Hagendorf is more important as it connects to Norsca in the north. This may explain why the ancient saint's creation is here. .
Through the ancient holy creations in front of him, Darkus confirmed his previous speculation. In addition to the stone circle and Tal Litanel, there must also be something underneath the ruins of Cole Imamoor, which means that Lauren There must be one south of Loren as well. The four directions in one, corresponding to the southeast, northwest and northwest respectively, make Lauren Loren the garden of the ancient saint, completely different from the surrounding forest.
The ancient saint's creation in front of Darkos seemed to be in a state of pause, which also corresponded to Lauren Loren's current situation. After thinking about this, he turned his head and looked at the elf standing at the entrance. This time he came around in the name of dedicating himself to Leya. He never expected that there would be an Ancient Holy Sanctuary and creations here. The only high-level spellcasters following him were Drusala and Kaia. Colonia was sent out by him, and Alatar, who was not nearly as powerful. Maranur also followed Maranur out. Alyssa, Beloda and Asanok chose to stay in the village and did not come over for various reasons.
Anyway, we still have to come here. Activating the creations of the Old Saints is not something that only two spellcasters can do. When we were in Albien, there were a second- and third-generation Slann Demon Priest, plus Darkus’ side. It was only activated by the cooperation of high-level spellcasters.
Darkus no longer thought about the gains and losses between the world and the secular world, but focused on looking at the armillary sphere in front of him. He found that he seemed to have seen it before? The more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.
"Isn't this the celestial hurricane instrument from the Imperial Academy of Magic?"
"It's funny enough." Darkus complained again.
The Celestial Cyclone is a huge and complex magical device, said to be created by the mages of the Imperial Sky Academy. It is a powerful magical warfare device in battle. The device would be secured to the top of the chariot, pulled by two powerful Imperial warhorses, and controlled by the Chief Magister of the Sky Academy.
A sphere embedded in the center of the device acts as a catalyst, summoning magical storms using the Winds of Aegir. As the sphere begins to move, a very weak, cold wind swirls quietly around the center of the device, growing in size and speed until it eventually develops into a thundering hurricane or raging lightning.
Just like the mind blast of advanced spells, ordinary spellcasters can't release it at all. The more powerful ones release it as a large flash bomb, the more powerful ones are the atomic bomb-level Itaza Redemption, and the more powerful ones. It was directly Big Ivan, the Earth Explosion Star that cleared the entire continent of demons in an instant. The Celestial Hurricane Instrument has the ability to change the weather. As for its power, it depends on the strength of the operator. It may be drizzle, or a series of lightning and terrifying hail, just like the Cordy breast on Darkus' belt. Decoration is the same.
On the contrary, Darkus, who cannot use magic, can guide the Celestial Hurricane Instrument through the Trident of the Sea as a medium, just like he guided the Kodi Breastplate.
Likewise, pulling down a comet can be done with the Celestial Cyclone, as long as the spell is cast correctly and the device is perfectly aligned like Belloda did at Ormscolo, provided of course that a comet is passing by. The Aegir Wind leaked from the device is like adding a dodge BUFF, allowing the army next to it to see the upcoming future and accurately predict the enemy's movements, allowing soldiers to easily avoid attacks that split people in half. .
When not used in battle, the mages of the Sky Academy are used to calculate and observe natural phenomena in the universe. The celestial hurricane meter allows them to perform astrology more clearly, allowing them to interpret the empire's long and difficult destiny. Many futures. It is said that such prophecies have saved the empire many times, and also saved the entire old world from imminent doom. Of course, it is only said... The
Imperial Celestial Hurricane Meter that Darkus has seen and the Celestial Hurricane in front of him now It cannot be said that they are completely similar, but they are 80% similar. The Empire added some fancy things to this foundation, such as skulls and inexplicable hollow carvings.
This may indirectly prove a lot of things. Ancient Saint Axl Belin may not only be the person in charge of the Lauren Loren project, but maybe Athel Loren as well. And the empire's celestial hurricane meter should have been accidentally discovered by those human magicians somewhere, such as the treasure house under Altdorf? This may also prove that Ancient Saint Axl Belin may have left something in Altdorf. Maybe Altdorf is the hub and research place of Ancient Saint Axl Belin in the old world. In short, after arriving in Altdorf Just study and study.
Darkus, who looked at the celestial hurricane meter again, seemed to have something wrong. It seemed like there was something missing? Soon he felt that something was wrong. The device was missing some star stones that were inserted into the matching positions, just like the star stones on Shakespati's planet toys. He couldn't help but admire how those human mages activated the device. Could it be that there was a matching star stone when he discovered the device? But that's not important. He knew that the star stone flag and the celestial hurricane instrument could be put into use by combining the star stone tablets he had found in the Golden Pond, but the upcoming Copt Titus would be even busier.
"Going back." Darkus, who was no longer thinking, put away his burned out pipe, walked to the entrance of the sanctuary, looked at the elves and said with a smile.
After everything was taken care of, Darkus returned to Skoglag. When he returned, he found that the running team he had sent out before had returned. After collecting information on a small scale for a while, he decided to Just across the Demster River. (End of chapter)
