What the hell is this? "
Huai Shi raised his hand, and the heavy chain emerged from the void. It was shrouded in sparks and black smoke, and its outline appeared. It had already completely merged with his Source Equipment, and there was no distinction between them.
Just this one item made the completion of the Sorrowful Rope far ahead of other weapons. Even the Tachi of Resentment that Huai Shi had created using the creator's memories could not catch up.
It was because of this that Huai Shi was extremely surprised.
"An invitation from Helios."
Tongi said, "It's the starting point of the alchemists' pilgrimage. Basically, every alchemist should have heard of its existence and have some fear and longing for it."
"Even a great grandmaster can do it?"
"Even a great grandmaster grew up step by step from an apprentice, right?"
Tongi thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, Mihail did not accept Helios' invitation, but another great grandmaster of the Stonecauldron Society, Garland, did go … … Anyway, the chain you got from Kitten is a mission item. Once triggered, it will generate a legendary mission called 'Helios's Wish' … …"
Huai Shi's expression twitched.
Kitten, that bastard!
All the mission rewards given were f * cking props from other missions … …
Thinking about it carefully, whether it was the identity card, the Nibelungen, or the chain, none of them were freaking easy!
At that time, he was so happy that he thought he had taken advantage of it, but he did not expect that this bastard had sold him out!
Fortunately, he had taken back the title of prince, so it was not too much of a loss … … But no matter what, he would have to settle this account with Kitten in the future.
After scratching his head, Huai Shi let out a long breath and calmed down.
"So, Helios' invitation is a chain?"
"To be precise, it is a puzzle that is casually scattered across the entire realm, casually squandering miracles like rain. The invitation itself is a perfect relic carrier, an empty shell."
After saying that, Tongi smiled. "Before that, let's talk about Helios … … Helios Workshop, Helios War Chariot. Do you know anything about them?"
"Ah, one of the legendary top ten workshops," Huai Shi scratched his head and said, "It's even one of the top few workshops, but not many people know about it."
"That's why you're still too biased in this subject. This should be common knowledge for alchemists … Well then, let's start from the beginning."
Tongi leaned back and sat on the invisible sofa and chair as if she had fallen to the ground. She put on a comfortable posture and began to speak, ignoring the fact that Huai Shi was still standing there in a daze.
And Huai Shi was not to be outdone. He sneered, sat back in the air, and leaned back on the invisible chair. He even crossed his legs, leaned back comfortably, and crossed his arms.
Even Tongi froze in place, stunned. "How did you do it?"
"… … Horse stance."
After a long time, Huai Shi squeezed out a few words from between his teeth and looked away awkwardly. His face was already red.
"Pfft, hahahahaha."
Tongi was already laughing unceremoniously. She was almost wiping her tears. She leaned forward and back and was overjoyed. "Forget it, forget it. You'd better sit here. This is the first time someone has done the horse stance in front of me. I can't go on at all … … "
As she spoke, she pointed to the empty air beside her.
Huai Shi propped himself up with one leg and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he looked at the air beside Tongi and reached out to touch it. He vaguely felt the touch of a sofa. He pressed twice and it was indeed a sofa.
"What's the principle behind this?"
"Invisible things and visible things. It's just a little alchemy trick. Don't look at it. You won't be able to learn it." Tongi rested her chin on her elbow and smiled.
Huai Shi thought for a while and sat down tentatively.
He sat firmly.
Right beside her.
Then he felt a little stiff.
"Aren't you going to sit closer?" Tongi looked at him and asked curiously, "You're almost sitting outside, right?"
"Nonsense!"
Huai Shi sat upright and looked straight ahead. "Are you still going to speak?"
He shouldn't have sat here. It felt more tiring than the horse stance!
"Okay … … Where were we just now?"
So you're just teasing me, right?
Huai Shi reminded her unhappily, "Helios."
"Yes, Helios."
As if ignoring what happened, Tongi leaned on the armrest that only she enjoyed and said lazily, "It's indeed one of the top ten workshops, but in essence, it doesn't belong to anyone. It doesn't even have any resident alchemists. It's a miracle that can put itself above countless alchemists, a relic that once belonged to the authority of Olympus. Some may think that it's the chariot of Helios, the Sun God, but in fact, it's Helios himself. Do you understand?"
Huai Shi looked at her blankly and quickly looked away. "What do you mean?"
"It means that Helios, the god, doesn't exist at all. It's the legendary Sun Chariot of Apollo. It's the carrier of the sun that was once cast by the Olympian gods. It once represented the authority of the sun, the miracle of Olympus. Is this clear enough?"
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time and finally reacted.
"Yes, that's why it could continue to exist after the fall of the gods. From its nature, you can think of it as a cosmic space station that operates in the orbit of the solar system, flying in the cold universe. Every seventy-one years, it will cross the orbit of Earth, allowing alchemists to visit it.
Although this huge scale of space is meaningless, it does imitate the movement of the sun and thus obtains a huge amount of power. It's not an exaggeration to call it the incarnation of the sun.
It's a war weapon created by the Olympian gods to deal with the danger of hell. It's said that a superweapon that can destroy a continental plate with one hit! Isn't it awesome? "
"It doesn't sound real. Would the Astronomical Society allow such a thing to exist?"
"Of course not, but long before the Astronomical Society was established — no, long before the fall of the Astronomical Society, it was damaged by a passing bad thing. So, foreigners are not good people. No matter how enthusiastic they are, there should be a limit. If those guys had been a little vigilant, it wouldn't have ended up like this … "
Huai Shi did not understand the second half of the sentence at all, but it was not the first time that Tongi talked to herself like this. He just treated it as the dark history of Olympus.
"In other words, Helios is currently in a damaged state?"
"Almost ninety percent of its functions are gone."
Tongi shrugged. "So, Helios' remaining instinct chose to repair itself. But unfortunately, Hephaestus no longer exists, so it can only be done by others … That's why there are invitations.
Through its own orbit, every time it gets close to the sun, it produces a large number of semi-finished products in batches, and then throws them to the present and hell to generate a large number of invitations. "
"Any alchemist who wants to set foot on Helios can modify the invitation and record the miracle of their smelting in the blank relics. It's like continuing your own creation on a half-completed painting. As long as you can achieve a perfect rating, you will be regarded as a guest worthy of being invited by Helios and get the qualification to go on Helios."
"And then?"
"And then you have to undertake the maintenance work." Tongi said with a calm face. "They are looking for someone to repair the sewer pipe. Do you think they will invite you for tea? But for any alchemist, being able to come into contact with the creation of the gods is already a great opportunity, not to mention being able to participate in it. If you can finish the work within a month of the intersection of the tracks, then you can get off the train with a thank-you gift.
If you can't, haha, then you have to finish your part … But once the train stops, it's not easy to get off, do you understand? "
Huai Shi swallowed his saliva.
Think about it, an alchemist was carried by a cold chariot, sailing in the cold universe, separated from everything by the vast darkness and despair.
And the present, far away on the scale of astronomy …
Waiting for the next meeting after seventy years.
"If you ask me, some alchemists can't wait to stay a little longer."
Tongi shrugged. "They don't want to get off the train when they arrive at the station, so they deliberately stay there. Over time, because of the research on Helios, a group has formed inside, which is what we call the Helios Workshop. But the only one who can really represent the Helios Workshop is Helios itself. "
"Then … after so many years, is there any progress in the maintenance?"
"About thirty percent?"
Tongi said indifferently. "The material is rare. Sometimes, Helios' own projections are like taxis working everywhere in hell, so it's not surprising to meet them."
"The moment you put it that way, it really lowers my status …"
"Anyway, this is your chance."
Tongi's words made Huai Shi's heart skip a beat. "You've received their gifts for so long, I'm afraid you're already on the list, right?"
"I have to go up and fix the water pipes?" Huai Shi's eyes widened.
"What are you afraid of? With the skills of the Forger, you won't have to worry about not being able to fix it when the tracks of Helios converge a year later." Tongi glanced at him. "Besides, there's still a year. A year later, you might be at grade 5!"
"Don't say that advancing to grade 5 is as easy as eating and drinking, okay? I'm only at grade 3! " Huai Shi's eyes widened. "Moreover, you forced me to advance by one grade, so I need more experience than others for no reason!"
"Don't worry, as long as Da Qun has a breakthrough, Young Arbiter Ming's Destiny will grow very quickly. As for Great Arbiter Ming … you've killed countless people in hell and exterminated an entire hell. How many Correction Points did you get? As long as you use the secret method to convert it, you'll be able to skip the early and middle stages and directly jump to the late stages. When the materials for advancement are more or less prepared, you can consider advancing to grade 4."
Tongi counted with her fingers and patted Huai Shi's shoulder proudly. "Look at how meticulous your sister's plans are!"
"Yeah, you're really meticulous. From the beginning to the end, you've arranged everything clearly."
Huai Shi rolled his eyes.
Tongi leaned closer and smiled. "Are you angry?"
Huai Shi looked away and leaned back.
"I'll fall if I move any further."
"I'll get into a horse stance."
Huai Shi held his breath angrily and squeezed out the words from between his teeth.
Tongi's laughter became even more joyful.
"Alright, it's almost time … I'll go back first." She reached out and pulled Huai Shi up from the ground. "You're already a teacher, don't be so childish."
Huai Shi sighed and waved his hand, indicating for her to leave quickly.
But Tongi stayed where she was and looked at him. Suddenly, she said, "There's one more thing that I haven't told you …"
"Hmm?" Huai Shi was puzzled.
She reached out her hand and ruffled Huai Shi's hair with lightning speed before he could react. Her smile was bright and dazzling.
"You've grown, Huai Shi." She said, "Congratulations."
Huai Shi was stunned.
"Then, goodbye."
She winked at the contractor in front of her and turned to leave. Her figure disappeared into the air.
Soon, the frozen time resumed its flow.
It was as if everyone had forgotten about the illusion that disappeared, and did not notice that they had lost ten minutes. They only saw Huai Shi standing where he was thoughtfully and looking in another direction.
He was silent and did not speak.
"Teacher?"
Lin Shijiu looked at Huai Shi in confusion and reminded him softly, "Are you okay?"
"Ah, sorry, I was stunned for a moment."
Huai Shi came back to his senses and smiled at them. "I remembered something happy."
In the silence, Yuan Yuan looked at that smile and felt sad for no reason.
Du was still standing quietly in the corner. His stooped body was stiff and he was already sweating.
He did not know what had happened at all …
But he felt a stinging pain in his eyes.
It was as if for a moment, the tyrannical sun had descended here and coldly ravaged the pair of eyes that had seen too many miracles.
It left a deep burn mark in his eyes like the sun.
It did not even give him a reason to be afraid. It just indifferently gave him a punishment.
Tell him.
You should bow down.
