Chapter 395

No. 7 alchemy tower has always retained the original cave appearance. The outer cave with the size of more than 700 square meters is piled with some miscellaneous materials, which makes people think that it is a natural cave storage room.

Victor and Renault followed the stone steps and turned into the corridor leading to the inner cave. The brazier inlaid on the stone wall did not light the lighting torch, and the whole cave looked dim. With the dim vision of the moon elf, Victor can see the surrounding environment, but the mountain wind penetrates into the cave from the vent cut by the halfling, and the air rubs against the rock wall, sending out a shrill cry, which is constantly torturing his sharp ears.

The area of the inner cave is less than one-third of the front hall. There is an inexhaustible spring. The cold spring water flows through the mountain along the artificially excavated canal and gurgles to the camp below. The cave is dark and humid, and the rock wall is covered with fluorescent moss. The shimmer of moss renders the stone platform in the center green.

This is the gathering place of the four system void elements. When the alchemy tower creates void, the water vapor in the air will condense into a mass of visible void water elements, which will complement each other with other three system elements and evolve the deep mystery of the creation law.

Victor is not here today to see the wonders of the creation of the void.

He put a bottle of recovery Potion on the stone platform and connected the tower spirit with consciousness, "king."

"Welcome back, my Lord." Tallinn responded immediately.

"This is a kind of recovery potion made by the alchemist militia. Give it a price, king." Victor commanded in consciousness.

"Yes." The king quickly gave the answer: "400 kingsol."

"The price is fair and unfair."

Victor nodded and shook his head, "The materials of the recovery potion belong to natural resources. The part collected by the alchemy militia has almost no cost, and the materials brought back by the caravan are no more than 60 gold sols at most. However, a kind of recovery potion can provide a stable fighting spirit for the knight. This means that the recovery Potion can help the trainee knight who cleanses the blood to resonate more element bits and help the trainee knight who awakens naturally The warrior attacks the knight realm, and there is no disadvantage of solidifying the element position. It can also help high-level Knights recover and increase the total amount of fighting spirit in battle! "

"A bottle of top-level energy potion is worth 1000 gold sol, which is ten times stronger than it. How many gold coins should more than a recovery potion be worth?"

The king replied: "Sir, it's unfair to measure the value of the recovery potion from a static point of view. Firstly, the energy potion will be eliminated by the recovery potion. Secondly, in order to enhance their strength, the Lord will recruit more noble children with Knight blood. The price of the washing potion must be greatly increased, and the price of the recovery potion can only be maintained at a low level, otherwise the Lords can't afford it. They don't hesitate to launch it War until a new balance is achieved. "

"That's right! But you can't deny that the emergence of recovery potion has enhanced the Qi of the knight class." Victor picked up the recovery potion from the stone platform, looked at it carefully for a while, handed it to Renault next to him, and smiled in his consciousness: "the recovery potion improves the strength of the knight, and the pile method recorded in x-3 makes the paladin further... Do you think it's a coincidence?"

The king replied, "improve human strength and deal with unknown changes. Isn't this in line with your will, sir?"

"Of course!" Victor raised his eyebrows and sighed in his heart, "first, the super class food blue taro, which can enhance the connection between the Golden Knights and the real world, let them try their best to figure out their extraordinary martial skills and look forward to the legendary field. Then, restore the potion and improve the strength of the whole Knight class... This kind of coincidence makes people feel creepy."

"Sir, I'm afraid it's not a coincidence, but a necessity!" The king explained, "you have verified that knights are descendants of ancient alchemists. Of course, the civilization achievements of the alchemical empire are centered on the interests of knights."

"That's right..." Victor pondered for a moment and asked, "king, you have my memory. Should you know Fermi's paradox?"

"Fermi, a famous physicist on earth, suddenly asked 'where are they?' while discussing UFOs and aliens with others. This is the famous Fermi paradox." The king replied.

Victor smiled and said, "then I'll ask now, where are they?"

Fermi paradox holds that if human beings can fly to various planets in the Milky way in 1 million years, alien civilization should have arrived on earth as long as it starts 1 million years earlier than human beings.

Similarly, assuming that No. 7 alchemy tower is a tool for the revival of the alchemy Empire, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the recovery potion and blue taro should have appeared long ago.

"Unless you are a special individual." The king immediately summoned, "this conclusion is really creepy!"

"String puppet?" Victor sneered, his eyes were cold, and then cheered up and said, "let's rearrange the existing information according to the order of time."

"About 40000 years ago, the alchemy Empire encountered unknown invaders, and the rigid alchemy puppets could not resist the enemy's attack. Therefore, an alchemist invented void creation, used alchemy life to fight against foreign enemies, and finally defeated the invaders through the Millennium war."

"Attention is to repel, not destroy the invaders." Victor emphasized and continued: "the alchemy empire collapsed suddenly for unknown reasons. However, there are signs that the mage Association of the alchemy Empire assumed the responsibility of ethnic continuity. They created the era of the chosen and protected knights and mortals. However, the chosen and knights established their own city states, scattered all over the world, and did not form a unified regime."

The king said, "the isolated islands of civilization after the end of the world, blocked exchanges and developed separately. It shows that the high-level of the alchemy Empire suddenly disappeared, and the major cities were separated and surrounded by some force, which made the middle level of the Empire lose contact with the outside, resulting in the interruption of the inheritance of alchemy civilization."

Victor said, "I have a question here. Since the extraordinary power of alchemists comes from blood, they do not intermarry with mortals, and alchemists can meet all the needs of alchemists, where are mortals in the alchemy Empire? What is the significance of their existence?"

The king paused for two seconds and replied, "mortals are the source of mages."

"Very correct!" Victor said with a smile: "if mortals are extinct, mages will be finished! In a sense, the mage association has a transcendent position in the alchemy empire. They are obsessed with the research of transcendental power and do not directly interfere with the secular regime, but they must protect mortals. This is the case with the early God elect, the church, and I'm afraid it was the same before the alchemy empire."

"I seem to have seen the mage kingdom before the alchemy empire. According to turnans's explanation of power, the knight went to the element sea, and others groped forward according to the law of the origin of the world. The magic model built by the mage is fixed, and the original power of the knight has infinite plasticity. Therefore, the mage helped the knight create alchemy, because the mage can't do it by himself, only Can rely on knights. Both sides have formed a regime in which Knights govern and mages study. The influence of this political structure continues to this day! "

Victor paused, frowned and said, "it's puzzling why the chosen one doesn't reproduce the alchemical civilization?"

"There are two possibilities, one is that you can't do it, and the other is that you don't want to do it." Said the king.

"I think both of these possibilities point to the mystery of the collapse of the alchemical empire!" Victor said in his mind, "there are many possibilities for Fermi paradox. The most terrible conclusion is that any civilization will kill itself when it develops to a certain extent!"

"The alchemy empire may have done the wrong thing!" Victor asked, "do you know what I think?"

The king replied, "my Lord, I am limited by my will side, and my thinking is far less active than you." The implication is: I can't guess.

Victor said proudly, "I have a bold guess. The alchemist and mage Association have jointly done a taboo study - they are creating gods!"

"King, did you ever think that the behavior pattern of the Lord of glory is close to the program?"

"Triggered by fixed conditions, there is a lack of diverse demands of natural life. These are in line with the characteristics of unnatural life." Replied the king.

"Yes." Victor agreed: "Article 1 of the code of glory, no one can touch God or convey the oracle. This certainly ensures the stable transmission of power, but there is a mystery behind it. The Lord of glory only works without talking and works tirelessly for mankind... He doesn't mind the first Pope bullying him?"

"Paladin Constantine said that wizards steal knowledge and power by listening to the voice of evil gods and improve their magic models. It can be seen that the mage association is doing the same thing, and they even developed alchemy. When foreign enemies invaded the alchemy Empire, the senior level of the mage Association took the initiative to communicate with the gods and learned the alchemy of empty creation, that is, alchemy Tower, and the price is the sacrifice to the gods. However, the alchemy tower must be built at the intersection of elements, and the position must be fixed. Alchemy creatures are limited by logistics conditions and life span, so they can only defend and can't go on an expedition. The alchemy Empire drove away the invaders, but they can't get rid of the threat. The gods can get a steady stream of sacrifices, and the alchemy empire is unwilling to sacrifice the gods for a long time. They think about it Solve the problem once and for all! Therefore, the high level of the alchemical Empire secretly studied the mysteries of the gods and created the ultimate alchemical life - the Lord of glory. "

Victor said slowly: "I remember that both the dragon warrior and the Savi warrior of the alchemy fighting unit have the ability to be immune to the threat of the soul. It can be seen that the opponent of the alchemy empire is an advanced creature no inferior to the giant dragon. Therefore, the greatest ability of the Lord of glory is not to give magic or create an incomparable shining envoy, but to pry the change of the world law and weaken the ability of higher extraordinary creatures from the root."

"He did. The early Pope weakened the connection between God elect and evil gods, but in the period of the alchemy Empire, the ability of the Lord of glory caused panic among the gods. They concentrated their efforts to eliminate the high-level of the alchemy Empire, and used the loopholes in the alchemy tower to liberate alchemy creatures and completely destroy the alchemy empire."

"The gods taught empty creation and deliberately left loopholes. Obviously, they didn't have a good intention. The alchemist and mage Association secretly created gods to cross the river and tear down the bridge. As a result, the alchemist and mage Council lost." Victor curled his lips and said, "the gods pressed the mage and knight on the ground and beat them solidly, so that they would never dare to engage in alchemy again."

"The alchemy tower absorbs the law crystal not to reproduce the alchemy civilization, but out of the needs of war. The distribution of alchemy towers is too wide. The imperial high-level leaders who master alchemy technology can't give consideration to each alchemy tower. They made many law crystals and handed them to the leaders of various war zones for emergencies." Victor said lazily, "well, that's about it."

The king said, "Sir, I understand what you mean, but there are loopholes in logic. For example, mortals are the source of wizards. Why do God elect to sacrifice blood to mortals? For example, God elect to sacrifice blood to evil gods, which directly leads to the awakening of the Lord of glory. If the gods are afraid of the Lord of glory, why encourage wizards to sacrifice blood?"

"Pa!"

Victor clapped his hand on the stone platform and shouted, "conspiracy! A conspiracy!"

"The gods have mastered alchemy, and they can teach the method of making alchemy towers to the chosen ones and high-ranking knights at any time. However, don't forget that the alchemy Empire also has an opponent. The original invaders didn't know what means they used to make the chosen ones sacrifice blood to the gods and kill each other to revive the Lord of glory. The early Pope Enoch was not an opponent of wizards, so he borrowed the power of the Lord of glory At the same time, Enoch was selfish. He wanted his descendants to monopolize the authority of the final alchemy creatures, so he ordered to eliminate the wizards who could compete with them, and set up the first article of the glorious code. The high wizards became bereaved dogs, the inheritance of magic was completely cut off, and the connection between gods and wizards was weakened, so it was very difficult to communicate and could not be taught at all Complete alchemy. "

"In this way, the invaders have no opponent. I don't know why, the gods need to sacrifice. They also can't tolerate the extinction of wizards and human beings. So I'm here!"

"I am the Savior of the gods!" Victor declared aggressively.

But the king pointed out mercilessly, "dear master, your subjective conjecture has many contradictions."

"Since the high level of the alchemy Empire wants to completely destroy the invaders with the Lord of glory, why do the invaders wake up the final alchemy creatures? Since the world law has changed and the extraordinary power of the invaders has been weakened, can they defeat the church with the Lord of glory?"

Victor thought he could run wild with the alchemy tower, but in fact, the alchemy tower was not enough in front of the church.

The alchemy tower needs wealth, and the church only needs faith. The alchemy tower has an upper limit of soul fire, and the priests are endless. The individual strength of alchemy creatures is strong, and the church can summon glorious angels. The Lord of glory can draw all gods to find teeth... The cost, quantity and quality can not be compared... If the alchemy tower is regarded as an alchemy creature, it is completely different from the Lord of glory, and it is more than one generation apart.

The king continued, "the powerful Lord of glory can't take the orcs. The church that masters divinity can't even compare with the Wizards in the era of God's choice."

"Selfishness! It's purely selfishness!" Victor explained somewhat embarrassed: "The association of alchemists and mages is the creator of the Lord of glory. Enoch did not receive the mage education of the alchemy empire. He was afraid that the elector council would seize the authority of the Lord of glory, and his descendants did not respect the Knights. Now, the inheritance of magic models has been cut off, the magic has not been updated, and the Knights of the golden generation have become the bronze generation. There are no wizards and high-level knights, just rely on them How can the clergy of the church defeat the orcs... "

The king replied, "dear master, your hypothesis does not consider the factors of extraordinary creatures, orcs, barbarians and elves, goblins and aliens, so it is impossible to get the correct answer, and your judgment is lack of evidence."

"Er... Well, I admit that there are still many unsolved mysteries in history..." Victor said angrily, "these are not the key points! The key point is to divide the soul!"

He took a deep breath, calmed his mood and preached: "I am neither a knight nor a wizard. This shows that ordinary people can activate the alchemy tower, only if the soul is divided. According to Fermi's paradox, it has been more than 9000 years since the Lord of glory changed the law. Since the gods want to activate the alchemy tower, the civilization heritage of the alchemy Empire should have appeared long ago! Why can't you see no trace?"

"There are too many possibilities and there is no speculative significance!" The king replied.

"I prefer that I can't be replaced." Victor deliberately emphasized his value

The king replied steadily, "Sir, from the known situation, this is impossible."

Victor was silent for a moment and said: "King, if I die, you will die, and the alchemy tower will wait for the next operator. I suspect that there are great defects in the soul division. Only alchemists and mages can let mortals master the alchemy tower. Since mortals can control a powerful alchemy tower, the alchemy Empire cannot have unlimited means. For example, a little of his soul fire can control alchemy creatures, and mages and alchemists can also control him Another point of divine fire. "

"I just want to know if I'm under control?" Victor finally asked the most critical question and waited quietly and nervously for an answer. What he was waiting for was not the answer, but who answered it.

The king replied without hesitation, "Sir, I am proud of being controlled by you. According to my situation, you can ask such a question. Obviously, no one controls you."

Victor was disappointed and relaxed. After thinking for a long time, he seemed to say to himself, "well, I am free and have no so-called competitors. In case the invaders appear again, there will be the Lord of glory, the clergy of the church and the armies of the kingdoms. If not, I will hide far away. The alchemy tower will stay here. I can use it, but I don't need it."

The king replied as usual, "Sir, I obey your will."

"..." Victor's stuffy tunnel: "I'm gone! The alchemy tower continues to produce alchemy creatures. 12380 soul fires retain 500. The rest maintain 6 alchemy dragon lizards, 200 alchemy war mastiffs, 600 alchemy crows, 300 soul monkey militia and 150 Funiu militia. The rest produce alchemy auxiliary soldiers, load soul monkey secret forms, master long-range weapons and load three production skills in turn."

"Mo has been created." The king summoned: "at present, there are 500 points of soul fire and 64700 gold sol."

Victor shook his head and turned away from the cave.

Outside the cave, the sun was shining, and Victor's mood could not be said to be relaxed or depressed.

This is a test to see if there are any extraordinary creatures behind the tower spirit. If so, let it hide in the dark, it's better to let it show its original shape.

Victor measured for a long time. He believed that his value was irreplaceable and gambled on life and freedom. Anyway, the worst result is death, and it is difficult to change. If you win the bet, there may be a turn for the better.

However, the test did not achieve the expected effect, the king's performance was impeccable, and Victor wondered if he had been worried too much.

The so-called refrigerated alchemy tower is just talking.

The threat of ant man is predictable and unavoidable. On the other hand, the masked brotherhood took out blood boiling medicine and color changing dye. The bone characteristics of the elite warriors of the brotherhood are the same as those of the church paladins, and the training secrets of the paladins come from the chosen ones.

Does this mean that there is a shadow of the mage Council behind the brotherhood?

It was puzzling that the Borui and Sophia's chamber of Commerce fought to the end, and Victor now had to suspect that they had also obtained the formula of the recovery medicine.

Does this mean that the remnant of the elector Council has penetrated into the east of the human kingdom?

At first, the little Baron was secretly plotted by the wizard for no reason. Then, Raymond, the eldest son of the Duke of berry family Peter sent someone to assassinate the Elven blood aristocrats for some reason.

What is the connection?

It is precisely because of these overt or covert opponents that Victor must develop his strength at the original pace.

The adjustment of production tasks will gradually reduce the number of alchemy militia and increase the number of alchemy auxiliary soldiers to 900 to prepare for the expansion of mercenary corps, mercury and gold regiment. Of course, if you find a trace of law crystal, you must not let it go.

The curtain of the new era has opened. Everyone wants to stand at the peak of power in the new era, and everyone is competing bravely. Sylvia is fighting, the Pope is fighting, Sophia is fighting, the augustian family is fighting, the glorious knight is fighting... In such a wonderful era, how can the owner of the alchemy tower not fight?

Victor stepped into the sun and smiled at Renault: "Nelson, they have completed their body remodeling. I should go back to the silver moon manor and practice it for the Pope."
