The maze-like corridor kept turning into forks.
Without a map, Angor would definitely get lost.
With Naprey leading the way, they did not have to worry about getting lost. However, Angor noticed that Naprey did not take the shortest shortcut recorded in the crystal ball.
Instead, he took some detours.
"The shortest route on the map isn't always the shortest." Naboli explained, "Actually, the shortest route isn't necessarily the shortest."
Some of the routes involved passing through rooms.
The rooms marked in the map were all the same size. The map only told the reader that there were rooms here, but it did not indicate the size of the rooms.
Therefore, some rooms that looked small were actually very large. There might even be space inside the rooms, which could be as large as an entire city.
Going through rooms was not necessarily the best route.
"Usually, it's better to go through corridors instead of rooms." The path Naprey took was one that went from the beginning to the end without passing through any rooms.
It looked like they were taking a long detour, but in fact, it took much less time than the so-called straight-line shortcut.
However, the corridors were sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, sometimes uphill and sometimes downhill, sometimes turning corners, and sometimes taking slides. It really felt like walking through a maze.
Even though Angor had a map, he still felt a little lost.
In the end, he decided not to think about the map and just followed Napoli's lead.
They were not the only ones in the corridor. Sometimes, there would be crystal eyes or peluxiu passing by. However, they were all in a hurry and would not stop.
According to Naprey, most of them were smelters working in the embryo factory.
They specialized in material smelting.
The finished materials would be sent to the crafting area, where the craftsmen would make the final mold.
The work intensity of the smelter workers was actually much heavier than that of the people in the manufacturing area. They were responsible for selecting, analyzing, and finally smelting the materials.
They could not afford to make any mistakes.
The better the materials they chose, the higher their yield rate would be. The more Good Grade items there were, the more rewards they would receive.
Because of this, many smelters would find people to monitor the materials at the unloading area in order to increase their conformity rate. They would select the best materials to increase their conformity rate.
The people in the corridor were all hurrying to the unloading area to pick up their goods. Of course, they would not stop here. If he was a step late, he wouldn't be able to pick out any good consumables.
Originally, they thought that they would have a smooth journey to the production area.
But at this moment, they passed by a slightly gloomy corridor and were stopped by a black-haired man.
Angor noticed the man when he was still a distance away. The man looked like a smelter, but he was wandering outside the corridor instead of picking goods. It seemed like he was in trouble.
When they approached, the black-haired man immediately stopped them.
Or more precisely, he stopped Napoli from leaving.
Under Napoli's puzzled gaze, the black-haired man pulled down the gray scarf around his neck. His mouth moved, and a faint voice drifted into Napoli's ears.
After saying that.
The black-haired man looked a little guilty and expectant as he stared at Napoli.
Napoli heaved a deep sigh and rubbed his temples helplessly.
Instead of answering, he walked to Angor's side and said, "Excuse me. He's having some trouble with his smelting. I'll go in and help him. I'll be back soon."
Napoli said apologetically. His voice was getting lower and lower. "Why don't you go first? I'll come to you later …"
"It's fine. Go help him. We'll wait for you here."
Napoli sighed in relief. "I'll be back soon. It's just a small problem. I'll be back in a few minutes."
With that, Napoli nodded to the black-haired man and quickly entered a door on one side of the corridor.
The door wasn't closed. From outside, Angor could see an extremely large space inside.
At the center of the space was a giant crater, in which a large amount of lava was flowing. The temperature was extremely high, and there were even some explosive flames rising into the air.
Even though the door was far away from the crater, Angor could still feel the heat waves coming from inside.
As for the black-haired man, he led Napoli around the deep pit and walked upward.
There should be a smelting table up there, but he couldn't see it clearly.
So Angor looked away.
"That man just now was a Sorcerer," Laplace said softly.
A Seto? Angor was surprised. The same race as Keisha?
The most distinctive feature of a Seto was the special patterns around their mouths.
The black-haired man had been wearing a gray scarf. The scarf was very high and covered his lips. Because of this, Angor did not notice the man's identity.
Now that he thought about it, the black-haired man did pull down his scarf when he spoke, and he did see some strange patterns around his mouth.
So he was a Seto.
Angor sighed. He didn't expect to see the first living Seto in this place.
"Speaking of which, Napoli said that the smelters and craftsmen here are assigned to different races. Since we met a Seto here, does that mean the Everhustle Race is nearby? "
Seto was a subsidiary race of the Everhustle Race, which meant the Everhustle Race could be found wherever a Seto was.
Angor looked back at the dark corridor and saw several closed doors. Maybe the Everhustle Race's territory was behind them?
"You're worried about the Everhustle Race?"
"Not really. I'm just worried that they won't be able to resist."
Laplace shook his head. "Don't worry about that. I asked Glepnir, and she said the Everhustle Race has their own embryo factory."
The Everhustle Race was best at instigating wars. Their military industry was one of the best in the entire Sun Mirror Zone.
Therefore, they could completely rely on their own clansmen to support an Artifact Embryo Factory.
Since they had their own embryo factories, they wouldn't send people to other factories to cause trouble. Even if the Everhustle Race couldn't resist the temptation, they would only be able to do it internally.
Laplace said, "Actually, I'm more curious about why Seto is here. Isn't it better for them to stay in the Everhustle Race's embryo factory? "
This was why Laplace pointed out the black-haired man as a Seto.
"Glepnir doesn't know?"
Laplace shook his head. "She doesn't care. Napoli is in charge of this."
"Then we'll ask Napoli when he comes out."
Laplace nodded and didn't say anything else.
…
While waiting for Napoli, Angor asked, "Didn't Napoli get anything from Glepnir's divination?"
Angor didn't know how to do it himself, but he knew that a divination was a way to obtain "information" and perform Spirit Synchrony.
Napori's request was to find his own tribe, and he himself was the greatest witness and evidence. With such crucial information, it should be possible to obtain something from the Spiritual Synchrony, right?
Laplace said, "It's true that Gleipnir didn't divine his origins, but there are some inside stories that Naprey doesn't know."
"What is it?" Angor's eyes lit up.
Since Napoli was not here at this time, Laplace did not hide anything and told him all the information he knew.
Two thousand years ago, the Hundred Dragons Divine Kingdom invited Glepnir to perform a divination.
The divination was very important, but it lacked some necessary ritual items.
At that time, it was Naprey who helped Gleipnir with the preparations. In the end, he even used up all the energy in his rune to create the corresponding ritual item at the crucial moment.
Glepnir didn't say it out loud, but she believed that she owed Napoli a favor.
That was why Gleipnir immediately agreed when Naprey asked for her help in divining the fate of his tribe.
At first, he wanted to use this opportunity to return Poe's favor, but in the end … there was a problem with the divination.
She couldn't get anything from the divination. It was as if Napoli's identity was a mystery.
"I was also surprised when I heard about it. Because Naboli himself is here, it shouldn't be difficult to divine his origin. "
Glepnir had encountered many more difficult divination attempts. For example, some people simply held a strand of hair or a piece of clothing that was tainted with someone else's aura and hoped to divine someone's identity.
If Glepnir could do something as difficult as this, then Napoli was right in front of her. It should be much easier.
But the results shocked everyone.
"Glepnir tried all kinds of methods but couldn't divine Napoli's identity. But through some side details, she also analyzed some deeper reasons. "
She originally thought that Napoli's identity might be very unusual and that he was protected by some powerful force, making it impossible to divine him.
So she expanded the scope of divination. Instead of divining Napoli's identity, she used Napoli as a base to search for the tribe behind him.
But even so, she still didn't get any results.
This was very strange. It meant that not only could Napoli's blood not be divined, but even those who were not related to him could not be divined.
Glepnir thought that there was only one possibility for this situation.
Napoli's tribe, or the civilization and world he lived in, was very special. It was surrounded by a mysterious power or a similar powerful force.
In other words, all the tribes, not a single one, could not be divined.
Glepnir couldn't pry into a powerful force that could cover a world and a civilization. She didn't even dare to speak too much about it.
Because Napoli was one of the people involved. If she did, she would be targeted by the powerful force behind his tribe and violate a "taboo".
Under such circumstances, even if Gleipnir had analyzed some secrets, she didn't dare to tell Napoli about it.
She only said that she didn't get any information.
This meant that she didn't repay Napoli's favor.
Napoli didn't say anything, but Glepnir felt very guilty. This was why Glepnir treated Napoli more gently than anyone else.
"A power that can affect an entire world …" Angor was surprised. This power had to be at least legendary. Or even stronger?
It seemed that Napoli's identity was really mysterious.
At first, Angor was only curious about Napoli's background. But after hearing Laplace's story, he felt a little curious.
"Since we can't find out who he is through divination, can we find out who he is by comparing his body parts?" Angor asked.
"Glepnir did the same thing. Even Napoli's master, Algaron, did the same thing," Laplace said. Laplace said, "In the end, the result was that there was indeed something unusual about the Napori, but only the Napori had it. They didn't see anything similar in any other species."
This was why they couldn't find out Napoli's identity.
"Then what is it that only Napoli has it?" Angor asked curiously.
After a moment of silence, Laplace uttered a word, "... Divine Runes."
Runes?
Angor was a little confused. He vaguely remembered that Laplace mentioned something about "runes running out of energy". So this rune was unique to Napoli?
Laplace said, "You should have seen the Divine Pattern before. It's a pattern on Napoli's arm."
Angor tried to recall. There was indeed a pattern on Napoli's arm that looked like a hammer and a flame.
But at first, he thought it was just a tattoo and didn't think too much about it.
Now he knew it was a rune. A unique part of Napoli's body?
Laplace nodded. "Yes. That's a rune."
Napoli's rune looked like a tattoo, but it was actually a strange organ. According to Glepnir, a rune was an external energy organ.
And the source of Napoli's power came from the rune.
According to Napoli, he lost all his memories after becoming a Hollow Man, but he didn't lose his power. That was because his power was stored in the rune.
When he "communicated" with the rune again, he found its ability.
To put it simply, by communicating with the rune, he could obtain the "skills" stored in the rune, as well as the corresponding energy.
As for how he "communicated" with the rune, Napoli didn't know how to describe it.
He was naturally able to communicate with the rune, so he couldn't explain how he did it.
For example, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't make a carbon-based creature understand their ideology and way of life.
In short, Napoli was born with the ability to communicate with runes. No one else could learn it.
