Pillar of Yita

But with the emergence of the Dragon Knight, a second path appeared.

To this day, more and more people have mastered the ’system’ that only Invokers could grasp, or rather, the system of the Invokers originated from this. Although even the Invokers rarely realize, what they see through the ’system’ might actually be the essence of this world—

High Dimensional Information—namely Starlight, is constructed to form this world.

But to put it in a more intuitive understanding, perhaps it is this scene before us, without the aid of an Information Crystal, relying solely on the strength of the system itself, it is the process of reinstating the world’s existing material back into High Dimensional Information.

What Fang Hong is curious about is, why does Eteliria have both Sky Knights and Dragon Knights, what do the ’systems’ they grasp truly represent? Or is it that, in the eyes of high-ranking Magic Creatures, this world is naturally clear to them, except that ordinary people cannot perceive Ether, so they cannot see the essence of this world?

But after merging with the soul of a Giant Dragon or other equally powerful creatures, do they then gain such power?

Asking Mr. Anluose about such questions would naturally yield the most direct answers, but unfortunately, at the time, he never thought about it, and when curiosity arose, the person had already gone elsewhere. Fortunately, unlike ordinary people, he still had two Dragon Souls within him, right?

But contrary to Fang Hong’s expectation, at least Miss Tata gave him a negative reply: ”At least as I see it, Mr. Knight, there is no real difference in this world from what you see.”

”Rather than my ability, it would be better to say this system is a contract. When I formed a contract with Mr. Knight through the Crystal, this system endowed us with such power. Not just Mr. Knight, I can also see this different world through it, it’s indeed fascinating.”

Miss Fairy spoke quietly, and mentioned she could now remember some things about the past, not many, but enough to prove certain facts.

She added, ”But Nini is different from you and me, she is a true Natural Giant Dragon, perhaps you could ask her.”

Unfortunately, Nini could only say in a childish voice, ”Papa hug.” Clearly unable to answer such profound questions.

Looking at this endearing little creature, how could Fang Hong have the heart to reprimand her, he merely thought to himself: ”AWSL!” and then put the question aside.

After about a few minutes, the three of them finally emptied each coin from the boxes, as for some gemstones that couldn’t be transformed into information, they could only stuff their pockets full with handfuls. There was no time to carefully appraise the value of these gems, and they roughly took parts of equal quality from both sides, leaving the rest to luck.

Gems were weighed by the pound, such a brash way of distributing spoils, Fang Hong thought this might be the only time in his life. He glanced at the transformed part, having taken over three million, and then ZXC transferred over a million to him, both sides totaling seven to eight million, slightly less than his estimate.

This was probably because the ratio of gold coins to silver coins in the boxes was smaller than he imagined, and the quality of the coins was dismal. But coming across millions out of nowhere, not to mention ZXC and Wu Xiaopang, Fang Hong was also staring at the string of zeros in shock—almost thinking he was still dreaming.

They had lost a batch of spoils of war Flexible Construct in Tansnier, barely recovering from a significant loss—but who would have thought that losing a horse might be a blessing in disguise, and they struck it rich here. Sometimes, life’s fortunes are just that hard to predict.

Wu Xiaopang was nearly speechless, counting on his fingers just how many zeros there were, but Fang Hong slapped him on the back, appearing much more composed—he took a deep breath, then said: ”Stop counting, there’s time to count once we get out, focus on preparing for the next plan—”

Wu Xiaopang rubbed the back of his head and nodded vigorously.

With so much money divided, not to mention ’kidnapping’ the Earl’s daughter, he’d even attack the Istania Royal Palace if needed. Of course, the premise is not to violate the ’Stargate Declaration’; after all, no amount of money could cover the confiscation penalty—since for Invokers who seriously violate the ’Stargate Declaration’, there is no such thing as a fine amount, the Stargate Port retains the right to directly reclaim the Starlight Device, and everything gained would be in vain.

...

”Are you saying that in the Dragon Knights’ eyes, our world looks different from how it does in ours?”

The candle flame flickered intermittently.

The whale fat candles produced in the Songpo Region emitted a faint yet perceptible incense aroma when burned, as the local artisans mixed a special local spice during their making, which would emit a calming fragrance when volatilized at high temperatures.

Thus many places also call them Meditative Candles, particularly popular among magicians, they are quite expensive, yet here they burn continuously as common lighting candles, showing their owner’s luxury.

And standing before Gita now, was the daughter of this owner—that girl with emerald green pupils deep as a lake in the Forest, with a golden glow of candle flame within, soft golden hair slightly curled at the tips, skin an exceptionally bright color distinct from this area, wearing a robe with moon patterns, and turquoise earrings hanging from her lobes.
