Freya blinked and woke up from the darkness, the candles on the table burned out, and the bedroom was completely dark. She was confused for a moment before remembering what happened before. The stone slab Brando gave her suddenly cracked, and a golden disc flew out of it. A light from the disc hit her forehead—could it be A dream? Freya looked at the table subconsciously, and suddenly found that the disc that had lost its luster was lying quietly among a pile of stone fragments, and the moonlight outside the window was shining on it, exuding a cold glow. Only then did Freya notice that there was a moon in the sky outside the window, but she didn’t know what had happened before. She thought it was a solar eclipse, but she slept until night, which made her a little bit. be surprised.
Is it true that everything that happened before? She subconsciously went to what happened in her dream, and suddenly got up. She suddenly found that she had some strange knowledge in her mind. This knowledge seemed to be innate, although some of it was still very strange, but it was like At some time in the past, she had studied this knowledge systematically, but it was rusty that she hadn't used it for a long time, instead of the kind of rote memorization of written information that was poured into her head, it seemed to be a little bit. As soon as she recalled, this knowledge became clear, and she even had an illusion that she could master this knowledge proficiently as long as she found the opportunity to practice a few times.
Most of the knowledge in her mind was about fighting skills, as if she had been trained as an elite fighter, who belonged to an organization called the Guard of the Goddess of War (or Valkyrie Guard). But apart from this, there is nothing left in this memory. Apart from various combat skills, what is left is the use of various weapons and equipment, and there is one more thing in her head. There are a lot of extra things, those are the information of some monsters, but she hasn't even heard of these monsters.
What kind of messy things like Orikir warriors, assaulters, blade worms, dream walkers... most of them don’t sound like monsters, but more like military ranks. Freya found that these things have one thing in common. Most of the annotations for them later are the "energy family", and the remaining few are the dusk seeds, crystal clusters, and night worms. Freya knows the cluster of crystals. Brando often mentions this kind of creature, the Neng clan. She feels that she has heard of it everywhere. She has a faint impression. There is a vague feeling in her heart, as if she had been in the past. She has fought with these creatures all the time, but she knows that this feeling is not a real memory, but comes from these inherited knowledge.
In her memory, the Valkyries of War are warriors of Tiamat, the dragon of war. They have a special ability to summon ancient weapons and project them on the earth through the dragon of war. Freya stretched out her hand and said: "Hercules —" This weird spell seemed to suddenly appeared in her mind. A white brilliance descended from mid-air and directly penetrated the roof and fell on her hand. Countless small light particles gathered in her hand and condensed into a long hand. Knife, that knife is very weird. Its blade seems to be made of light, but it is not divergent or bound together, but forms a crystal-like sheet with a certain arc, which is the handguard of a long knife. On the upper side, the four metal plates are folded back to block the position of the long knife handle and hand.
The overall style of this knife is completely different from the artistic style on the mainland. The knife does not have any embossed decorations, nor can you see the common heraldic decorations such as ivy, dragon or sun thorns, giving people a simple and rich style. The feeling of strength. "This is an ancient weapon?" Freya has never seen such a long knife, but she can feel that this knife is very beautiful.
She raised the knife and took a glimpse of her eyes. Then she realized that there was another person in her house. This shocked her. She assumed a fighting posture, but then she found that she was standing silently in the dark. There was the emerald knight whose whole body was covered in armor. Freya was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Knight, why are you here?" The latter is the guardian spirit of the Lionheart Sword. Since she got the Lionheart Sword, she has been following her, but the opponent rarely appears. In her sight, she would not help her even in battle, as if she was just to protect the sword. These days, she often couldn't see the knight, and almost forgot the existence of the other party.
However, she was a little annoyed when the other party broke into her room without saying a word. Since she is a knight, don't you know that it is very impolite to break into a lady's room without permission
But today the jade knight is obviously different. He raised his head, and the hollow soul fire under his helmet was burning quietly. He glanced at Freya, then turned around, opened the door and left.
The Emerald Knight did not speak, but Freya had a faint feeling in her heart: He was leaving.
The night wind blew over Tonigel's mountains.
The fir rustled softly, as if composing a song, chanting an unknown future.
…
On the first day of the autumn evening moon, the residents of Vaughan witnessed the most unusual solar eclipse that afternoon. Of course, most people thought it was just a solar eclipse, because it was less than a quarter of an hour. Within time, the sun and sky reappeared. But in many areas, such as Luzère and the White Mountains south of Saint-Osor, the eastern part of the Great Glacier, parts of Ten Cities, the dark forests of the southern border of Eruin, and parts of the Saint-White Plains, there is no such thing after the sun sets. It has risen again.
Large-scale riots broke out in these places quickly, and within a week they became completely disordered areas. In these areas lacking light, food, and even drinking water, political entities quickly died out. After the disappearance of order, the original The civilization of the country was replaced by barbarism. The residents became robbers, which led to the migration of a large number of refugees. But soon, even the robbers could not survive in these dark areas. There are bright areas.
But the refugee wave has not gone further, so in most areas, people still don't know what happened.
In the sea of star gathering, there is a floating city floating above the open sea. Lataki is the name of this city. It is a more famous floating city in the silver city-state. It stays in the sea of star gathering on weekdays and is responsible for monitoring Baishan The movement of monsters on the Great Eastern Plains. But at this time, the city known as the “Black Eye” was quietly suspended in the darkness. The wizards used magic to light up various lights and gathered in the brightly lit square in the center of the city. At this moment, there are sorcerers in various robes floating in the sky, but they have one thing in common is that there are at least seven silver piping on the robes. Those who do not have more than seven lines are standing on the ground of the square, looking from a distance. , Black press one piece.
In Bougainvillea, wizards call wizards who can cast spells below the fifth ring as apprentices, and those who can perform spells above the fifth ring to the seventh ring are called quasi wizards, although the name for wizards who can perform spells above the seventh ring is the same as on the ground— Collectively referred to as the Great Wizard. But in this silver city-state, you are either a great wizard or an apprentice, or you can only escape from your apprenticeship if you become a great wizard. After leaving your apprenticeship, you can fly freely in the city, so there are so many people on the ground.
People who don’t know Buja may think that this so-called silver alliance is nothing more than this. But in fact, most of the so-called “apprentices” on the ground are also quasi-witches, who can only cast spells below the fifth ring. Wizards are really rare here, and they may not be more difficult to find than the top great wizards. Only children who are under ten years old and have poor wizardry qualifications are possible.
In Bougainvillea, if you can't cast the five-ring spell after fifteen, then you are not a problem of poor aptitude, but a freak.
This is the strength of the people of silver.
In fact, in terms of combat effectiveness, the difference between the silver generation and the gold generation is not that big, but in the era of the Twilight War, the gold race is the real fighting race, and most of the silver people rarely go directly to the battlefield. For example, the dragon tribe, the leader of the golden tribe, is far better than the craftsmen and wizards of Buga in terms of individual strength, but the dragons are rare, and even in the golden age when the golden generation is the strongest, it is the least populated. The golden race, if you want to fight alone, the ordinary members of the dragon are naturally average people among the crushing craftsmen and wizards, but from the perspective of the entire ethnic group, the Bugans are not necessarily afraid of the dragon race.
However, it is these two races. In the era when the people of God were still there, the ancestors of the Buga people, Ochidu scholars, were Babel’s librarians, responsible for sorting out and collecting the knowledge and inheritance of civilization, while the dragons were pure Soldiers, the charge is on the front line of the battle with Twilight, and the division of labor between the two is clear at a glance.
This is also the biggest difference between silver and gold.
Only for thousands of years, the Bugans have never shown their power in Voend since the war of the saints ended and left the mainland. They rarely intervene in disputes, let alone participate in a war. That’s why, even if Her Majesty the Queen of the Cruz Empire took the prestige of the world and claimed to restore the Miner dynasty, they had just funded a fleet of Brando for the first time-nothing more, even Not even more than half of the people were sent. Even the fleet itself was only part of their original deal with Tonigel, and the Buga were just adding something extra, not even helping.
But at this moment, these wizards are more serious than ever.
A wizard in a red robe was giving a speech in mid-air. His voice was like rolling thunder, covering the entire city: "According to our investigation, in 376, after the magic tide surged at noon on the first day of the autumn evening moon, Most of the meteor fragments that fell into the ground from the sky above Vaughan, most of them are the knowledge and inheritance claimed to be lost on the ground after the destruction of Fort Babel, and are also the most important part of the civilization inheritance of the'Arbitration Tribunal'... the rest Yes, it is Saumur crystal."
In Buja, the silver-robed wizards are the staff-wielding wizards of the White Tower. They hold silver rods, also known as the silver-scepter wizards. They are the guardians of knowledge and have a high status in the Silver Alliance, second only to the council wizards. wizard. The other most common ones are white robe and gray robe wizards. Here, white robe wizards are ordinary craftsman wizards. Gray robe wizards generally come from the rapid battle sequence of silver, and most of them are elementalists. The remaining black, red, and blue robes are the least in number and the most special three types of wizards.
The blue-robed wizard is a unique wizard in Wing Lion City. It is Rosadel’s personal guard among the twelve wizard leaders of the Silver Alliance. Rosadel himself specializes in rune magic. Therefore, the blue-robed wizard is also the strongest among the Bujas. Rune mage. The black robe wizards generally come from the Priory of the Silver Alliance. Most of the members of this organization are necromancers and warlocks who practice spiritism and formation spells. Of course, these people have high self-esteem and generally look down on the hillbillies from Madara. .
The red-robed wizards, also known as the insights, come from the Tower of All Things and are the top group of astrologers in the entire Vaughan. They are naturally proficient in astrology, but the most outstanding of them is the leader of the red-robed wizards. , Vladimir Helyanov, one of the twelve wizard leaders, is also the lord of Lataki. He has an artifact named Sunspot, which is in the shape of a unique dark eye, so It is called the Dark Eye by the world, which is why the city of Lataki got its name.
Vladimir still appears in the sky above the square with his well-known bald head, with a thick beard, and a black symbol on his forehead, which is the mark left by the dark eye. He overlooked the entire square in mid-air, and paused for a while before continuing: "As we all know, the Bujas are the descendants of Ochidu scholars. It is our own job to collect and manage knowledge on the ground, the books of Fort Babel. The precious knowledge in the museum was once the most important asset of wizards, so we have the responsibility to take it back and keep it well."
There was silence in the square.
But Vladimir didn't care either. He didn't need answers from these people either. At his height, all he needed to solicit was the opinions of those twelve people.
To be precise, there are three. The inside of the Silver Alliance is not as well organized as people think. As early as after the Second Holy War, the wizards of the Silver Alliance were divided into three because of disagreement. Among them, William headed the silver. The robe wizard also holds Buja's orthodoxy—the two most important cities of Kanaiqi and the White Tower, and they call themselves the Mithril Society. The second is the Priory, the base camp of black-robed wizards. The leader is Yuki. They stayed on the floating city on the glacier. Although they act secretly, they are most enthusiastic about things on the mainland. However, these black-robed wizards are not keen on Fighting for power on the mainland, but keen to destroy the power of chaos, in fact, they are the biggest enemy of the All Things One Society and the Shepherd.
The last is the so-called Red-Blue Alliance, also known as the Thassard Alliance. In fact, it is the two-city alliance between Rossard and Vladimir. Because these two floating cities are located in the sky above the Thassard area, Because of its name, this alliance is the weakest in the Silver Alliance, so its reputation is not obvious, but it has great enmity with the Mithril Society that William is in charge. Vladimir himself has long coveted the status of the White Tower. It is argued that the guardian wizard of the White Tower should be a more insightful astrologer, not a rule wizard—although in the Argent Alliance, the rule wizard is usually referred to as a scholar.
However, Vladimir also knew in his heart that among the twelve wizard leaders, Solomon of the Mithril Club was the first, followed by William, Tulaman was fourth, and his position was eighth, and Rosald even had him. It is not as good as it is a bit whimsical to challenge the Mithril Society with the strength of the Twin Cities Alliance. The reason why he coveted the White Tower is because of the sacred status of the White Tower among the wizards. The White Tower of Bougainvillea was built by imitating the tower of the law in the Five Elements Realm. Every layer in the White Tower is filled with With documents and books from all over Vaughan, it is the largest and most proud library of Bujas. What is the most important thing to a wizard? Nature is knowledge. As a symbol of knowledge, the White Tower has always been regarded as a holy place for wizards.
But now, he clearly has a better choice.
The Buga are the descendants of the Ochidu scholars. The Ochidu scholars were once the tower guards of Babel. At that time, they had all the civilizations for tens of thousands of years, the knowledge and heritage of countless continents, the golden race, the silver one. The people, even the gods and the knowledge of the gods, are stored in the tower to the sky. In that era, Babel was the center of civilization and a symbol of order. If one day he could recover this knowledge, then Baita would not be worth mentioning.
Vladimir waited silently in the air, his red robe without wind.
Soon, he heard a voice coming from the void.
