Pillar of Yita

”This type of acceleration trajectory,” Virus shook his head, ”is not a mechanism of the ancient tower’s Fire Giant.”

”Indeed, the Fire Giants we know of are of only a few kinds,” Chenxi replied, ”This is a Closed-loop Fire Giant, Osh’s technology, but the Empire’s technology is not perfected. I’ve heard that a guild within the Colin Ishurian area perfected this technology.”

In fact, from the Variant Sword-Bearer that Fang Hong traded to them, he had long been aware of this, but concerning the interests of the Silver Weslan guild, he did not intend to make this secret public.

”What guild?”

Chenxi shook his head, ”That was three years ago, when I had just become the chairman of Silver Weslan, and because my inauguration delayed me, by the time I went to investigate, that small guild had already dissolved due to the impact of the Mount Holy Pact incident. Later I found some members of that guild, but they were all vague about it.”

Everyone looked at each other. The first Mount Holy Pact incident three years ago had caused significant turmoil in the China Competition Region, causing many guilds to dissolve, but no one expected such a coincidence to be linked to this matter.

”And then?” Virus asked.

Chenxi shrugged; Silver Weslan had plenty of matters to handle, so he naturally couldn’t dwell on a trivial matter. If today he hadn’t seen this construct type again, he wouldn’t have even remembered it.

”Although that guild has dissolved, the technology wouldn’t just disappear. It might have spread through some means or ended up in someone’s hands and then found its way to this kid,” Odin typed at this time.

”That’s indeed a possibility.”

Others nodded in agreement.

”But more than that, I’m more interested in how he got his experience?” Odin asked again, ”I don’t know much about Combat Artisans, but theoretically, to control so many Flexible Constructs, a significant investment in calculative power related talents and knowledge would be necessary, right? At level 15, with his innate talents, one would need to invest to the limit to reach this standard—You all should remember Loofah, right?”

”Loofah’s attribute investment was indeed unimaginable, almost completely ignoring other talent and knowledge domains; eccentric, stubborn, but her control force was also not less than this guy’s,” Virus frowned as well, ”But...”

”But her abilities in other aspects were far inferior,” Odin picked up where she left off, ”Reinforced Gloves are the Supreme One’s talent, and his way of using it is Nightingale’s Flying Claw skill, right? It doesn’t require much experience, but it’s still a few tens of thousands of points. Then there’s Fairy Master, but these are not the key point. The key is, did you notice that he was actually transforming those Clockwork Fairies earlier?”

Everyone fell silent. They certainly noticed; hundreds of Clockwork Fairies, and Fang Hong took less than five minutes to modify them. The structure might be simple, but that speed was too fast.

Among Alchemists, only one profession could achieve that speed, that is the Artisan Master specializing in creation.

”But the problem is,” Odin continued typing, ”Artisan Master is another path for Alchemists, one that hardly intersects with Combat Artisans, and their experience distributions are nearly opposites, except for some shared parts. I just asked some guild craftsmen, and to modify Clockwork Fairies to that speed, one would need to be at least a level 16 pure Artisan Master.”

”So where did he get so much experience to invest in so many domains?”

”Maybe he has talents related to experience? Skills or equipment?”

Experience-related talents, skills, and equipment are among the hardest to acquire and rarest things in Eteliria. For someone to obtain these at that level would be too fortunate.

However, other than that, it was hard to establish other theories. It’s well known that in the realm of Artisan Masters, there is hardly any shortcut other than investing experience over and over. Players’ skills are mostly compared by the level of the finished products, not speed, and the progression value of artisan skills is basically only related to level (relevant skills, knowledge volume).

However, Chenxi remembered something but that thing was too ancient and was not perfected at that time, and could not be used in practice. And after those people left, no one else went on to perfect related skills, so he dismissed the thought from his mind.

He turned to Chenxi and asked, ”Chenxi, did you notice anything?”

Nether shook her head in confusion, not just her, but the entire military intelligence department’s message was much the same: ”We know too little about the Fairy Master category. Almost everything we have is about the mainstream Fairy Master schools. Generally, a Fairy Master can only share their calculative network with others, linking to themselves is a loss-making proposition.”

”Generally?”

”I found a special school called Semi-Fairy Master, but this school nearly disappeared over a hundred years ago because it hit a dead end. I say nearly because it left some descendants who shifted to other domains, but the documentation is vague on this part, only repeatedly mentioning a related term.”

”Are you suggesting those people perfected this school? What term is that?”

”Silver Tower,” Nether shook her head, ”But it’s unlikely. If there really were such a school, it should have spread by now.”
