Chapter 26 Bottom Line Chapter 1)(1/2)
When I walked out of the tower, it was already dusk.
Xiuyi didn't expect time to pass so quickly.
The fog above the castle still exists, but it is no longer as thick as it is. Xiu Yi can vaguely see the distant mountains outside the fog.
He couldn't help but sigh.
Everything that happened in the tower seemed like a dream to him, especially when he saw that pure energy body, Xiu Yi suddenly felt something.
I did not come to this world for no reason.
Slowly raise your right hand, and in the air above the palm of your hand, there is a blue flaming sphere.
It is the pure energy body that represents the earth.
It was like a joyful elf, circled around Xiuyi and emitted beautiful arcs of light.
This pure energy body was automatically produced by Xiu Yi, as if it had a special fate with Xiu Yi.
Xiu Yi didn't know why, but he knew that there must be a cause.
He suddenly felt that maybe Electra was not dead; maybe he was hiding in a corner of this world; maybe he could tell himself why he came to this world...
All the mystery always has an answer, only depends on whether people are pursuing it. In the past, Xiuyi never considered this issue, but now, he has finally begun to face it.
"Master." The figure of Releyessa appeared in front of him: "It's time for supper."
Before Shuyi entered the tower, he did not tell anyone that this was to avoid Lilith and the others' concerns.
"Okay, I see, Lele, how are you doing here during this time?"
“Everything is OK.”
"I hope it feels more comfortable than when you're a robber."
"There is less freedom, more stability and enjoyment."
"You have to pay something to get something."
“Yes, master.”
Xiu Yi clapped his hands and a ferocious beast appeared behind him. It was the four-winged Tooth Beast with injured wings: "This is my new pet I brought out of the tower. I have signed a contract with it. Now it is my contract beast. If it is injured, I will give it to you and help me raise it. After it is completed, I will reward you."
"Oh my god, master, have you gone to the tower?"
"Don't make a fuss, am I intact?"
"You mean..."
"I didn't say anything, Lele, you'd better remember that the tower of Electra is not something that anyone can enter. No one can come out alive before, and no one can come out alive in the future. So I've never been to the forbidden area, do you understand?"
"Yes, master." Rele looked at Xiuyi in surprise, but his eyes showed a look of admiration.
His master actually walked into the tower of the legendary alchemist and came out alive. If this news spread, it would definitely shake the world.
Although he was forced to follow Xiuyi at first, as he followed Xiuyi for a longer time and gradually understood his wisdom and character, Releyessa became more and more impressed by Xiuyi. From the beginning, he gradually turned into reverence and loyalty.
...
In the castle hall, at the magnificent dinner, Xiuyi explained to everyone about his experience entering the tower.
He consciously downplayed the danger, but repeated that he had found the hub of the agency and closed it before entering, so the danger was not great. Moreover, he knew much more about Electra than anyone else, so he entered only when he was prepared.
This statement has more or less diluted everyone's dissatisfaction with him not breaking through the tower.
Like Rele, everyone was amazed and admired by how quickly he could break the secrets of the Tower of Death and inherit Electra's legacy.
Barkler exclaimed and shook his head: "I have never missed you, Xiuyi, you are destined to be the second legendary alchemist in this world."
"So Shuyi, what did you get this time?" asked the necromancer Ashlin.
Only then did Xiu Yi take out the materials and alchemy products he obtained from the tower one by one. These materials were so rich that everyone was about to faint.
Christine screamed excitedly: "We are rich!"
"You've been a rich woman long ago." Xiu Yi smiled.
Most of the harvest belongs to the property of the dead alchemist. As for the things Electra left him, except for that notebook, only the Angel Feathered Suit and the Four-Winged Toothed Beast are valuable.
However, Xiu Yi does not intend to tell everyone about dream crystals and pure energy bodies. This is the greatest wealth and the biggest secret of Electra's stay in this castle. Xiu Yi really cannot guarantee whether anyone will try to take away these pure energy bodies because of temporary greed. The consequences will be catastrophic. On the contrary, as long as these pure energy bodies are left in the castle, they will become the castle's best defensive weapons. If anyone dares to attack the castle, these pure energy bodies will give the attacker a disaster. From this point of view, the Mist Hidden Castle has the value of becoming the last strategic location.
In addition, the combination of dream crystal and pure energy bodies has the effect of observing star maps and calculations. Observing star maps is not Shuyi's interest, but their computing power is very useful. Alchemists have never lacked data calculations in experiments, regardless of temperature, humidity, contrast, etc., and all aspects need digital calculations. In the past, alchemists solved problems through writing and mental arithmetics, but with dream crystals, for Shuyi, it was equivalent to having a supercomputer that could be used for alchemy experiments. Electra might not have thought of using dream crystals to do this, but for Shuyi, this usefulness was quite large.
Therefore, Xiuyi said: "The news that I successfully entered the Electra Laboratory cannot be spread, otherwise the Dardanelles family will have great trouble. So I will restart the mechanism and keep everything as it is. No one will go there again in the future. I will set up a teleportation array in it and leave the method of opening the mechanism. If you encounter danger in the future, you can open the mechanism and enter the tower to avoid it. If it really doesn't work, use the teleportation array to leave. But that is the final way out."
No one has any objection to this.
As for how to deal with the things that Xiu Yi brought out - the alchemist's things, of course, only the alchemist can handle them.
Shuyi said: "I will separate these things. Some of the technologies and products suitable for selling the strong family can be taken out and left to the Weston family and the Dardanell family to jointly take charge, so as to strengthen our business. The other part I want to study. The King Kong puppets were all destroyed in Royo City, and I just need to refine some new puppets. The stone puppets invented by Electra are very good and have a good hidden effect. They are used as castle guards. We can publicize the love of collecting stone carvings and artworks. No one would have thought that those things would be magic puppets, of course, unless those bad night breakers."
Everyone laughed. Xiuyi's idea was quite good. From today on, the guardian power of the Mist Hidden Castle will be greatly enhanced.
"Oh, by the way, let me show you something." Xiu Yi took out the brilliant sword from the ring.
"What is this?" Ashlin asked in surprise. Although he had never seen it before, the sacred aura faintly revealed on the sword made him feel uncomfortable.
"A big trouble that is difficult to solve... the holy object of the Holy Spirit Church, the Sword of Glory." Xiu Yi smiled helplessly.
Everyone was stunned at this moment.
The three major churches in Fengming Continent, the Holy Spirit Church in the North Continent, the Natural Scourge Church in the East Continent, and the Odin Temple in the South Continent, each has its own characteristics.
Among them, the Holy Spirit Church is a monotheistic church. It believes that there is only one main god in the world. All other gods are created by the hands of the Lord God. They are false gods, assistants and slaves of the Lord God. Therefore, they can also be said to be the most exclusive church among the three major churches. They believe in light and divine power. The light pastor and the holy knight are the main bodies of the church. The Scourge Church and the Temple of Odin are both polytheistic sects. The Scourge Church believes in the power of darkness and destruction, and there are a large number of Knights of Destruction and Darkness under it. The main forces of the Temple of Odin are crazy warriors and Dharma destroyers. Among the three major churches, the Scourge Church has the shortest establishment date, while the Holy Spirit Church has the longest history.
It is said that a thousand years ago, the Fengming Continent was originally a piece of the same land. Due to the war, the continent eventually became fragmented and caused the western continent to sink into the sea. The main cause of the war was that the Holy Spirit Church and other sects competed for the dominance of the continent. As a result, the Holy Spirit Church achieved the final victory, and other churches fell one after another. Due to the separation of the continents, the Holy Spirit Church chose to occupy the richest northern continent, and its influence on the other two continents gradually became smaller as time passed, and the new sects were able to rise again on other continents under this situation.
The main reason why the Holy Spirit Church was able to achieve the glory of the Millennium Holy War was that the Holy Spirit Church had four divine weapons that were in the continuation camp at that time, the Sword of Glory, the Scepter of Light, the Book of the Holy Spirit and the Cup of Life. In the Millennium War, the Cup of Life disappeared without a trace, and the Holy Spirit Church only had three divine weapons. Even so, it was the top existence among the three major churches.
Although the Lance Empire was powerful, in this land full of church people, they must also live by the breath of the Holy Spirit Church.
No one dares to provoke the Holy Spirit Church, whether it is a huge base of believers or a top base of force.
It is said that there are more than ten holy realms in the Holy Spirit Church. Whether it is true or false, even if it is a legendary discount, it is scary enough. The three empires in the North Continent have only ten holy realms.
However, the Holy Spirit Church has never publicly acknowledged the loss of the Sword of Glory. Whether in the past or present, in the Temple of the Holy Spirit in the Grabis Mountains, their three great artifacts are worshipped from beginning to end and received incense from the people.
But now, Electra left such a sword to his later successors, which was shocking.
"If this sword is really a brilliant sword, then the sword in the Holy Spirit Temple must be a fake." Barkler said with great certainty.
Although the Holy Spirit Church was very famous, during the most glorious period of Electra, even when the Holy Spirit Church saw this legendary alchemist, he could only take a detour. If he wanted to choose to believe, Bakre, like Shiuyi, would only believe Electra's words.
"It's obvious that this involves some huge secret, perhaps in the era when Electra was scattered, he once entered the Grabis Mountains," said Christine.
"The Grabis Mountains has a famous Warcraft area, which is one of the few natural features that remains to this day. During the period when Electra was plundering resources everywhere, he did have sufficient reasons to go there. Xiuyi, have you told me that Electra himself is also a sanctuary? "Bakle asked Xiuyi.
"Yes."
"Then he is very likely to have forcibly entered the Temple of the Holy Spirit and took away the Sword of Glory. However, for the Church of the Holy Spirit, this is obviously a great shame, so they chose to keep silent. For three hundred years, the Temple of the Holy Spirit has been offering a fake Sword of Glory, and the real thing was placed in this tower by Electra."
"So...if this sword is born."
"The consequences must be very bad." Barkler said in an extremely affirmative tone.
"So that's the case, let it stay in the ring honestly. I won't take it out unless I have the strength of Electra."
No matter how confident or arrogant Xiu Yi is, he will not provoke a stronger church after provoking a powerful empire.
However, this sentence did not satisfy Barkler. In fact, he shook his head: "It's not that simple, Xiuyi, there is something I've been buried in my heart for a long time. I've always wanted to ask you, but I never asked. But now it seems that it's time."
"You can ask me anything, Brian." Shuyi was a little surprised, not understanding why Barkler suddenly became so serious.
"Is there any possibility of reconciliation between you and the Lance Empire?"
Xiu Yi was slightly stunned: "Why do you ask this?"
Barkler replied earnestly: "I know you hate this country and you want to take revenge. But revenge must have a goal, and doing things must have a purpose. Xiuyi, I know you have the goal of revenge, but I don't know what your purpose is, you have never told us."
"I said, to calm my anger."
"It's not just that." Barkler shook his head with certainty: "You don't have anything to say, Shuiglare, I know you, you are not an emotional person."
Xiu Yi frowned: "Why do you ask me this question suddenly?"
"I just want to know what your purpose is and under what circumstances will you be able to reconcile with the Lance Empire."
"Brian..."
"Answer me!" Barkler suddenly stood up and shouted fiercely: "Shuyglare, maybe you didn't notice it, but I must remind you one thing: you must not cause both the Lance Empire and the Holy Spirit Church at the same time! Do you think it's okay if you don't take out the Sword of Glory? No, don't forget that you are still a soul wizard! Soul spells are a taboo in this land! This reason alone is enough to make the Holy Spirit Church chase you all over the world. The reason why the Lance Empire hasn't revealed that you are a soul wizard is entirely because they don't want you to fall into the hands of the church, after all, you have a lot of alchemy resources and technology in your hands. So they concealed this matter and hoped that they could get these things alone.
But if one day you force the empire into anger and scare them, they will definitely throw this matter out without hesitation. You are a soul mage! You will attract countless holy knights to chase you! The Lance Empire throws you as simple as throwing a piece of flesh and bone at a group of evil dogs! And if you use the Sword of Glory in the battle, there will be countless strong men coming to chase you. You can defeat a Sky Warrior now, but can you defeat a group of Sky Warriors? Can you defeat the Star Warriors? Can you defeat the Holy Land? Tell me Shu Yiglare, do you really plan to stay with the Lance Empire? In the end, becoming a wanted criminal on the whole continent? You have a teleportation array, but the resources are limited. How many times can you use it?!"
Barkler's speech was magnificent, fully demonstrating the courage and wisdom of a bandit leader of a wild wolf group.
Barkler has always been aware of one thing: no kind of revenge has no bottom line.
Although Xiu Yi kept saying that he wanted to take revenge, he might not really want to turn himself into a madman. Behind all his actions, there must be another reason and a motive, but he never said it.
Barkler was waiting for it, and he didn't want to force Xiuyi to say that it might be out of trust in his friends. He thought Xiuyi knew when to say and do what to do, but today, when Xiuyi took out the Sword of Glory, Barkler couldn't wait.
This weapon was too troublesome, it made Barkle feel the threat from the Holy Spirit Church.
Barkler looked at Shuyi and slowly said, "Shuyi, I can always stand by your side and fight with you until death! But we must know who our enemy is. The Lance Empire is your enemy, but it may not necessarily be an eternal enemy. The Holy Spirit Church is not your enemy, but it is destined to be your eternal enemy! On this issue, reason should transcend feelings! So you must tell me whether you and the Lance Empire can reconcile, and if so, what is the plan."
