The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 27: The buried truth

"This is the inspiration Hugo got from the subway. He used the 'positioning' function of the pointer ceremony to enable the buoys marked on the lift platform to accurately point to different floors..."

Issac explained the principle of the "elevating platform" to Annan in detail.

The pointer ceremony is a type of spiritual séance ceremony. It is probably similar to the seance board or pen fairy in this world. It uses a three-ring roulette with toxicity signs such as "poisonous, highly toxic", corrosiveness signs, and explosion possibility signs to directly locate the general characteristics of the unknown transformation mixture.

This is a ritual that alchemists must master before.

Mainly to prevent myself from getting killed...

Before Hugo, all wizards still had to take the stairs. Every day when the cafeteria opens for lunch, the little wizards will huddle together - this is no different from ordinary people.

It was only after the popularization of lifts that wizards avoided the disgraceful situation of falling down the stairs.

"Although I don't know the specific weight it can carry, the value must be pretty good, and it shouldn't consume much energy."

Facing Annan's confused look, Isaac smiled slightly: "Because this kind of lifting platform is mainly used for loading and unloading mine cars and freighters... That happened before Mr. Hugo became the son of the tower.

“If it is not reliable, practical and cheap enough, then those mine owners would rather let workers carry it instead of buying a lifting platform specifically.

"It can be seen from this that Mr. Hugo is indeed a genius. Many of the things he invented have advanced this era in subtle ways... It is called the 'Hugo School Fine Positioning Lifting Device' This is the invention of the invention. The special device called the 'Hugo School Shield Excavation Device' he invented is still the most advanced equipment used by diggers today."

Indeed.

Annan nodded.

It is said that the "above ground railway" currently being built on the land of Noah's Kingdom was also built under the leadership of Hugo. Because he could not replicate the "Grey Mist Powered Eternal Locomotive" used in the subway, he designed a low-profile model powered by steam.

The Theocracy has recently invented the internal combustion engine, and Hugo has made some changes to the design - using the "inert black fire" made by Salvatore as raw material, the locomotive using internal combustion power has been It's in the experimental stage.

According to Kafni, it will be ready for trial operation within the year.

By then, the problem of tight subway capacity will truly be solved.

Suddenly, Annan thought of something.

He raised his head and asked the young man with white hair and green eyes beside him: "Mr. Isaac...did you invent something similar when you were in school?"

Hearing this, Isaac II’s expression froze slightly for a moment.

He coughed slightly and explained: "Mr. Hugo and I have different types of research directions - although we are both called the 'transformation school' now, the directions we were responsible for were different in history.

"Our Jade Tower is the guardian of knowledge. It was the birthplace of alchemists in the past. We will pay more attention to theories in our daily research... Among these theories, the vast majority of wizards and ritualists will never use them in their lives, but They are the foundation for systematizing this knowledge.

"The Black Tower of Danzig inherits the will of Prometheus. Prometheus is the disciple of the mysterious lady... They emphasize the use of knowledge to create inventions that have practical significance and can be used immediately by people. ."

To put it simply, you don’t have any strong inventions...

Annan was a little disappointed.

I heard that this person’s title and profession is "Jade Record". He was the last alchemist and the first transformation wizard in the world - the most important thing is that his name is Isaac and he is a Lord, Annan thought he should be Lord Niu's incarnation in this world.

It's like Michelangelo, now he has become the man in the mirror.

But there are still some differences...

"Wait a minute?"

At this moment, Annan suddenly realized something: "You just said... the Zedi Black Tower inherited the will of Prometheus? Aren't these wizard towers brought here by the mysterious lady?"

He thought that the mysterious lady first entered the sight of the natives of the Yaseland continent by driving twenty-four wizard towers with two teams of floating cannons.

"...it counts."

Issac's expression was a little surprised: "You are the Grand Duke of Winter... As a Grand Duke, don't you have access to this kind of information? Today's wizards no longer know where the Wizard Tower came from. ?"

"Probably a sequelae after the Unification War."

Annan said softly: "After the **** civil war that the wizards started around the Wizard Tower ended, many schools lost their inheritance. The remaining survivors have completely faded out of the sight of ordinary people."

"At least in our time, this was not a secret...ah."

In the middle of speaking, Isaac interrupted himself and sighed softly with some melancholy: "No matter what, this period of history is the last thing that should be erased."

He pursed his lips: "Where to start... At the beginning, the wizard tower did not have so many categories, and it was not used to support the great barrier - it was a weapon and Tombstone."

"Tombstone?"

Annan asked: "Whose tombstone is it?

"For example...'Prometheus the Fire Stealer'?"

"That was after the death of Lord Prometheus."

As the elevator moved slowly downward, Isaac breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted Annan's collar, and stood up straight again.

He put his left hand in his pocket, and his right hand with many gems hanging down straight down.

"The original Wizard Tower... was a tombstone made of the corpses of twenty-four gods who fell in the Age of Gods. Of course, at that time they were not called gods, but 'lords' or 'living pillars'.

"The gods are dead, but they have not given up protecting the world. They gave their corpses to the mysterious lady and asked her to use their corpses to make props that can be used by mortals."

Issac replied: "It is not a tower that spans the living desert, nor is it a simple treasure. It is the twenty-four tombstones-the holders of the tombstones have the ability to combine their experience, knowledge and The power of the elements is left behind and handed over to the successors to inherit their abilities.

"This is the oldest spell inheritance. The most primitive spell is a divine spell that has lost its active response and can only respond mechanically. In other words, the tombstone itself is the cornerstone of the response to divine spells... The successors removed it from it Unlocking many abilities that can be used by mortals is the first spell.

"After arriving in the continent of Yasselan, the 'towers' were built with the help of the power of spell energy. The reason why they were built in the form of towers is because the foundations of these towers were the former 'lords' ' and 'living column'.

“It is precisely because the high tower is a symbol of the supreme power of the [Lord] that they are independent and far apart from each other; it is precisely because the high tower is a symbol of the [living pillar] standing tall and tall that they exist in the form of towers.

"Looking from a distance, it looks like a pillar reaching the sky."

Issac sighed: "And the word 'god' has been the name of us Yasselans from the very beginning. That's because in the Iron Age, our ancestors called the most primitive supernatural beings. The gods were gods. But after the more handsome and powerful elves came across the desert from the east, the previous gods became "false gods". But these gods are not phantoms from above, but ours. Ancestors.

"No matter what, we will never forget, nor should we forget... It was the sacrifices of our ancestors at the beginning that gave rise to today's glorious wizard civilization..."

Issac looked a little disappointed ~IndoMTL.com~ but he still didn't say much.

Because he has already realized what this is for.

...It's probably not about the unification war.

But after the five major kingdoms split, in order to erase the fact that "the elves once ruled the Yasselans" and to take care of the Yasselans' self-esteem, people tacitly agreed not to mention the truth about "where the magic came from." .

They will only refer to spells as "hymns of reason" and the wizard's tower as "a gift from the mysterious lady". Put the title of inventor of spells on the mysterious lady.

I will not emphasize that this is the weakened power of truth that the elves’ sages dismantled and analyzed from the corpses of ancient gods in the desert. Because humans are not the true successors of elves.

"After all, wizards are the guardians of the 'world', not the guardians of history."

Annan comforted: "And the priests will not pay attention to the dead god."

The Wizard Tower is still trying its best to protect mankind and the world today.

But...

Annan thought.

——This choice made by the wizards cannot be said to be wrong, but it cannot be said to be correct either.

The truth should not be buried, but telling the truth directly may not be the best way.

That's all, why not leave this matter to the players and see what they can do...

Annan thought as he led Isaac in the direction of Husky and the others.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, he heard Husky's highly recognizable bright and clear voice.

"It's pretty good, hahahahahaha——"

"Keep your voice down..."

Shi Sanxiang’s vague voice also sounded.

Annan's expression suddenly became a little subtle.
