Act 280: Earth Elements and Imperial Army(1/3)
A low cheer came from the abandoned lift.
"It's done!" Xiaoyao slapped the solid wooden frame of the lift, rubbing the rough wooden texture with some excitement. Luo Wei pulled the pull rod on the machine, and she frowned and used a little effort to press the pull rod down. The dark and dark iron shell inner gear that had been cleaned made a rotation sound, pulling the iron chain upwards, finally causing the platform below to move.
"I didn't expect you to have some more hands," Shui Wuming praised him rarely, "You can repair such old-style mine equipment?"
"That's right, you don't even look at what a professional crystal craftsman is," Xiaoyao rubbed his hands and looked at Fang Zhui beside him, and said unexpectedly: "What surprised me is that Ed, this guy, can't help but know that there is something wrong with the magic furnace at a glance? I know that you, Weiyu and Shui Wuming are all-around, but you have to have a specialty in your profession, right? Look, Shui Wuming didn't see it."
"How rare," Shui Wuming wrinkled his nose in anger and glanced at the guy with disgust. "I suggest that some people don't speak, so don't say it. Who doesn't rely on the system for normal people? Only Ed is a monster. Before he got the system, he studied alchemy as seriously as the indigenous people. Compared with the basics, I can say that few people among the summoners are more solid than him."
"You even know this?"
"You are the famous Dragon Alchemist. After the Battle of the Southern Realm, who would not investigate your origins? You have a close relationship with the military, and the identity of the smuggler has long been known to everyone," Shui Wuming rolled his eyes with a good look. "You don't think that the smuggler has no system is a secret, right? Everyone also inferred that you officially got the system after contacting the military before and after the Battle of the Southern Realm."
She suddenly remembered something, "Wait, the Fenris incident happened before that, right?"
"Damn!" Xiaoyao also screamed strangely, "Wouldn't that mean that Ed had reached that level at this age when he was the same as the Aboriginals? No, it was even more exaggerated than that... The Aboriginals had at least five or six years of learning experience before they were sixteen years old, you guy..."
Only then did Fang Yu realize that his story was so exaggerated. But of course the facts were far from so exaggerated. He only got the system at the end of the July War, and his combat effectiveness improved by leaps and bounds. But his system comes from Zero Crystal, which is the standard Fairy Dragon Knight system, but he cannot disclose this matter.
He could only say vaguely: "It's not that exaggerating. You have also seen my dragon soul. You should understand the origin of the Aitalia system, right?"
"Oh, I almost forgot about this," Xiaoyao reacted, "Dragon Knight System, you are so lucky. You have actually gained the recognition of a natural dragon soul."
Fang Rong thought that Miss Tata should be considered an artificial dragon soul, but the existence of this fairy princess is quite special. Her intelligence is obviously much higher than that of ordinary artificial dragon souls, and is closer to the dragon soul in a natural state, but she does not have the dragon soul talent in the general sense.
Natural dragon souls all have dragon soul talents, which is the biggest difference between them and artificial dragon souls.
As for his other dragon soul.
To be honest, Fang Yu didn't know whether Nini was her dragon soul. There were indeed some precedents in Aitalia that had contracted two dragon souls, such as Karese's Yashan, Pure Knights, and the contemporary Ten Elemental Kings, the Final Book, the Light of the Stars, and the Sea Queen Sera.
But in those examples, the dragon knights, without exception, were artificial dragon souls that first contracted, and then obtained the natural dragon soul by chance. However, artificial dragon souls lack intelligence. Examples like Fang Lun, who have two dragon souls and are both alive and lively, have extremely high wisdom and are at peace with each other, can be said to be unique.
Nini was born from the golden flame. It is not very good to say whether she is a natural dragon soul. Her existence may have some similarities and similarities with the natural dragon soul, but her power did come from a giant dragon during her lifetime, that's right, even if it was a dark dragon.
This is especially true after Idus absorbed some of Nico Polas' own memory and strength.
So is the relationship between Miss Tata and Nini similar to the relationship between an artificial dragon soul and a natural dragon soul? Fang Yu doesn't know about this, because the origin of Miss Fairy is a mystery, how did the warlocks of the Silver Tower shape her, and what kind of power source she gained during that process.
The two are still unknown.
The root of the dragon soul's power comes only from the source of its power. Without understanding this, it is difficult to judge what its essential existence is.
Fang Yu knew that the outside world now believed that his dragon soul was a natural dragon soul. The scene in Aiyin Bullock happened in Haierxi's Dragon Knight construction also made many people confirm this. The reason why the Ten Nightingale Kings did not pursue the investigation was also because they recognized his identity as a dragon knight.
Although there are some orders to become a dragon knight, the dragon knight is equal. The awakened dragon soul can definitely bring its master to that level, and may even become a ten king. Especially when the King of Gray has entered the end of his profession and may retire at any time.
Of course, another part of the reason is because of Tianlan, and Haierxi's understanding of his sister is obviously very clear.
He did not refute Xiaoyao's words. If the guild thought so, then let those people make such judgments, Fang Rong thought.
He watched the platform slowly rise from below under the drag of the chain. It seemed that they were lucky. The elevator was just damaged by itself, but the platform looked quite solid, and the boards on it were not too decayed.
Others obviously noticed this, Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows, turned his attention back from the chat, and praised him: "We have good luck, we can reuse it directly if we strengthen it a little."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Shui Wuming also breathed a sigh of relief, "I was shocked. I was worried that the platform would no longer look like it. The lift is easy to repair. After all, so many of us are not decorations here. But if there is a problem with the platform itself, although it is only physical work to repair it, it is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. We don't have the materials to repair it."
"That's not that complicated," Fang Yu shook his head. "Even if the platform itself is decayed, as long as the framework is still there, it will be a little more dangerous when we go down."
Shui Wuming thought about the situation and his face turned pale. She was not a member of the battle, but she rarely experienced such a situation. Compared to the adventure itself, starlight is more precious to them.
Liu Liyue turned around and finally couldn't help but speak: "Can you hurry up? There are more and more earth elements."
Fang Zhu looked in that direction.
Earth elements are constantly emerging from the entrance of the cave. They are magical creatures that look a bit like a rotating pile of stones. Stones of all sizes are circling around a gray-yellow element core. However, what are appearing now are small elements, and the level is not high, so it is quite easy for the rest of the Seven Seas Brigade to deal with it.
However, the gathering of elemental magic in this place is indeed very unusual. No wonder no one has been to repair this damaged elevator. The small earth element is also a magic creature of level 17 or 18. The average team can't handle this number.
Especially in small places like Nordspitz.
"Let's strengthen the platform," Xiaoyao said immediately, "We only need a minute or two to do it together."
Fang Yu nodded and signaled them to do it. The three craftsmen present were all elites from major guilds, and he didn't need to interfere in this little thing. He pressed his hand on the information crystal on his neckline and projected a horse knight - it was his new knight-type annihilationist.
As soon as the man and horse rider landed on the ground, it immediately caused quite a stir. Liuli turned around and looked at the scene, then looked at the special shape of the walker he was commanding, compared the size between the two, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
He has always been determined to compete with Fang Lun in the position of combat craftsman. Although the difference in computing power between combat craftsmen is generally not intuitive, the difference in body shape between constructs can often directly explain a lot. A larger construct means more components, more movable joints, more systems, and more computing power.
Xiaoyao and Shui Wuming also watched this scene unexpectedly.
They are not combat craftsmen, but it can be said that there are no craftsmen who do not want to become combat craftsmen. It is just that most people cannot do this, so they have to choose the path of alchemy.
For this reason, many alchemists will control the leprechaun with one or two hands. This trend has become a trend among Alchemists in Aitalia, and there are even many interesting competitions. Fang Zhu once participated in the Traveler's Rest.
But most alchemists only know about combat configurations. Even clockwork geeks, it is difficult for them to use them in actual use.
The gap between combat craftsmen and ordinary alchemists may even be much larger than that between ordinary people and alchemists.
Both of them knew about Fang Yu's identity as a fighting craftsman. But in the previous competition, Fang Yu was just like a normal craftsman, and he had never even seen him use the Clockwork Fairy a few times, so everyone ignored this fact intentionally or unintentionally.
Until now.
Fang Zhu pulled down his goggles, turned his five fingers, and the magic gloves turned around in circles. The man and horse knight responded immediately, raised his front hooves vividly, and jumped into the battlefield, falling heavily, knocking several small earth elements apart.
Luo Hao was fighting against a group of earth elements nearby. He was no longer surprised by this. He raised his shield to hold a flying earth element and took a step back, allowing the scattered stones to hit his shield, making a raindrop-like hit.
He shouted, "Left front!" He pushed the shield forward and lifted the earth element away with force.
The stone body with scattered earth elements is almost immune to all damage. Even if it is smashed, it can quickly absorb elemental magic power and regain the body. However, its only weakness is the elemental crystal core surrounded by a group of stones.
The earth element was hit by Luo Hao.
The surrounding stones immediately flew out in all directions, revealing the gray-yellow cube magic crystal.
Before it could gather again, a spear flew over and hit its core crystal, smashing it to pieces. The earth element made a sharp cry, and the stones scattered around immediately fell to the ground, rolling and no longer moving.
Luo Hao put down his shield and immediately pointed in one direction with the war hammer in his hand: "Miss May and Parker are there!"
The tall knight came over and pulled back his spear, lowered his head, pointed at him, then turned around and ran towards the cave.
Xiaoyao and Shui Wuming looked at this scene in shock. "That thing is like living." Xiaoyao couldn't help but be shocked, pointing in that direction and exaggeratingly said to Shui Wuming: "Damn, did you see it? It also nodded. Does the flexibility of that thing support it in doing such an operation?"
"Do you see it?" Shui Wuming looked dissatisfied, but he couldn't hide his surprise. She looked at Luo Wei, but Luo Wei had seen Fang Ling commanding the combat structure in Aiyin Bullock, and she knew her ability as a "little junior brother".
If not, how could she appear here?
Xiaoyao took out the tool and kept chattering: "It's the same thing when you see it, but have you ever seen such combat structures? I mean, he actually has free computing power to do such things. If it were me, I would rather use computing power to control another construction - even if it's a clockwork fairy?"
"How do you know that Ed can't control another combat structure?" Shui Wuming put his hand on the platform and quarreled with him, "You are like a pauper who wants to guess how rich people spend money. Maybe they don't care about this calculation power at all? It's like they are used to spending money with big hands. This kind of manipulation is naturally engraved in the bones, and they don't care about such details at all, just how convenient it is."
Shui Wuming inadvertently told the truth, but she actually subconsciously refuted the main craftsman of the silver Weslan. Luo Wei was silent on the side, and she had already been happy in her heart. She thought to herself that you had never seen the more exaggerated ones.
"That can't?" Xiaoyao was a little surprised. "Do you know what the structure is? It's the latest model of the Empire. Do you want that guy Liuli to control another Walker-specific Δ to try it?"
"roll!"
Liu Liyue said angrily.
Although we didn't know each other before, we were both young people and were free and easy-going. In addition, Liuli herself was born in the Silver Forest Spear, and these great guilds are familiar with each other. Therefore, although they don't answer much on the surface, they have actually become familiar with each other.
Speaking of the previous contract, Liu Liyue also participated, but he chose the Qihai Brigade with shamelessness, which made Fang Yu look at this guy several times. However, Liu Liyue looked indifferent and even asked in a bad voice:
"What are you looking at? I have flowers on my face?"
"Are you also a member of the Qihai Brigade?" Fang Rong asked angrily. This guy actually wanted to share money with him. Is this abacus too good at playing?
"Of course not," Liuliyue replied, "but I am not a craftsman, I am a combat craftsman. What's strange about choosing the employed party as a combat member?"
"This..." Fang Rong was speechless for him, "Aren't your Silver Forest Spear the Tenth Guild? Are you still short of this little money?"
"Do you think?" Liu Liyue said angrily, "Compare me with their elites. Silver Vislan can't afford to support so many main craftsmen."
"Are you not an elite in love?"
“NMSL!”
However, Xiaoyao's words still stimulated Liuliyue a little. He looked at the tall horse knight of Fang Yu's side, gritted his teeth, wiped his hand on the information crystal, and released another walker-specific Δ, and then directed him to join the battle.
"Damn!" This scared Xiaoyao, "This guy can really control two units, he is also a monster!"
He shook his head, no longer paying attention to the battle here, but instead focused on strengthening the platform.
However, the battle here attracted Fang Yu's gaze, and he was a little surprised. The special type of the Pacer is not an ordinary combat structure. Although it is called Pacer, it is actually a rare alien body. Since magic and martial arts are both capable, the requirements for computing power are extremely high.
The ability of Liuliyue to configure such a structure shows that he is still valued in the Silver Forest Spear, and he can use two units at one time, which is at least enough to show his talent.
Maybe it's not as good as Wu Di, but the difference should be limited. In fact, many big guilds like to train players in a dual-track system, just like Sophie and Bai Xue, the latter may not be much worse than the former, but due to limited opportunities and various factors, the guild finally chose the former.
After all, cultivating top players naturally requires top resources. The top resources are also limited even if the major guilds master. Therefore, some people will always reach the peak, and there will always be people who will become the foil behind them.
This is also the reality of super competitive.
If you choose to be among the top players in the guild, you will naturally get many benefits from it, but you will also face ruthless competition. Even a genius like Liuliyue, who is seen as an ordinary person, will inevitably become a defective product after others choose.
It sounds a bit cold and inhumane, but the reality is that. Fang Yu is more inclined to be free and does not want to connect with those great guilds. Of course, there is no reason. He just simply feels that it makes him feel a little uncomfortable by dividing everyone into different levels.
What he yearns for is simply adventure, with this beautiful world, not those meaningless things.
He was stunned for a moment, and the human and horse knights had already entered the earth element. Under his command, they rushed left and right, greatly reducing the pressure for the Mey, Alisa, and Paparals who were fighting there. Meiy noticed his intention and pulled the shield away, and the silver light wall suddenly disappeared. She grabbed the Paparals who were happily blazing left and right on the crossbow, and pulled the Weiwei back.
Parker was screaming there, and the earth elements behind him rushed like a tide, instantly submerging the place where they were standing. Later, Luo Yu and Ji Ta were guarding the tall knights, holding up their staff, holding up the magic book and starting to cast spells.
The temperature in the mine duct dropped by several degrees.
