MTL - High Above-v2 Chapter 764 The Prelude to the Silence of the Arcane Age (1/2)

  「Forerunner.」

Ian subconsciously repeated this word. He stared at the flashing information pattern on the silver chip, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, but they finally converged in one place: "The forerunner. Isn't it the pre-epoch civilization, the head of the Alien Research Institute?" Is it a code name?"

The lingua franca of Terra is essentially a simplified inscription. Its relationship with inscriptions is similar to that of simplified and traditional characters, but the complexity of inscriptions is far greater than that of traditional characters. People also have many ways to simplify traditional characters. The same It is very common for characters to be written in four ways, just like the same name can be translated into the four names of Charles, Charles, Carl and Carlos according to different pronunciations in different places.

People with the same name, in order to express their own specialness, will deliberately add some special writing methods and gestures when signing or writing code names for themselves, just like adding unique details to their signatures like QR codes, And readers can clearly know the original meaning of this signature.

   This is based on the special character culture of Terra language and inscriptions. In theory, there are many ways to write a character and a code, and all of them are correct.

   But therein lies the problem.

  The 'precursor' in the silver chip, who claims to be, is exactly the same as the 'precursor' in the Alien Species Research Institute, and all the details are exactly the same.

   This is not a coincidence. The ‘forerunner, the dean, of the Institute of Alien Species definitely copied the vocabulary on the silver chip and chose it as his code name!

  「The dean is the original owner of the silver chip. He must have been greeted by the real 'forerunner' like me, so he chose that way!」

  Ian was determined in his heart: "Perhaps, he, like me, has made some disruptive and revolutionary changes in technology, so he has been evaluated enough to be recognized by the real "pioneer!"

The arcane way is a revolutionary change for the way of sublimation. The complete arcane way doesn't even need the material of monsters, and it can refine the potion by virtue of the super high computing power brought by meditation. The structure is reproduced, and it becomes an extraordinary individual who can be self-sufficient only by practicing.

Ian's current arcane path is not complete, or in other words, the efficiency of meditation is too slow, so he still needs potions to speed up his practice. It seems that there is not a big gap between it and the path of sublimation, it is just that It is just a strong inheritance, but in fact, they are fundamentally different.

  Such a huge change made Ian the "peak individual" designated by the silver chip, a perfect template that all human beings at the third energy level could not defeat him, and it also allowed him to get the attention of the "pioneer".

  But Ian noticed that behind the silver chip, the greeting from the forerunner seemed to be a leftover 'recording'.

  This information is engraved in the great etheric whole that runs through infinite time and space. All the time and space of the universe with the existence of ether, as long as there are individuals who meet our standards, they will be notified in this way.

   Obviously, there is more than one person who can get such notification.

  In addition to Ian, the pre-epoch civilization, the president of the Institute of Alien Species (the code name after that is the president) also received this honor.

   He's obviously very proud of it, even calling himself a pioneer.

   And what exactly did the Dean do.

  Ian guessed that what the dean did may be the foundation of today's Terra's way of sublimation.

   Extract the sublimation material in the body of the monster, refine it into a potion, take it and improve yourself. The original founder of this whole system may be the 'Dean!

"The Alien Research Institute, to put it bluntly, is the Institute of Warcraft and Alien Biology. The dean with the silver chip can also rub the source material structure of Warcraft just like me back then. And he used this to combine the civilization of the pre-epoch with aliens. The biotechnology of star civilization has developed a 'potion system,'!"

Ian stood up slowly, and the inside of his chest still felt a little cold, which was left over from the power of the dead king of Alberto and the flash silver skeleton, but now the boy completely ignored these abnormal feelings, and came to In front of his workbench, he opened his notes and wrote down his impressions and details of the operation.

  While writing, Ian thought in his mind: "It seems that there may be many things in the 'Alien Species Research Institute located in Canaan Moore that are beyond the expectations of all countries."

   Among other things, how much extraordinary research can the dean do with the silver chip? It is precisely because Ian himself owns a silver chip that he understands how much a silver chip can do for a researcher.

  The dark golden dragon may be related to the dean's research before the collapse of civilization in the previous era.

   But here comes the problem.

  Ian originally thought that the silver chip might be the main chip of the spaceship that fell on Terra with the skyfall spaceship. But now it seems that the existence of the silver chip seems to be a little earlier than the skyfall spaceship?

   These are postponed for now.

  In addition to these, the silver chip revealed a lot of information.

  Peak individual, as the name suggests, is an individual who has surpassed the past limits of a race.

Ian estimated that if his teacher Hilliard had condensed the five extreme domains and achieved a breakthrough in this area, he would undoubtedly be a 'peak individual', or a peak individual of the fifth energy level .

   And the follow-up 'Special and Extraordinary Biological Protection Agreement', in a simple translation, it is estimated to be the 'Treasure Talent Protection Agreement'.

The civilization behind the silver chip is obviously a cosmic-level or even stronger civilization. Their detection range undoubtedly spans the infinite cosmic space, and all of them have special potential. Creatures will be valued by them, and they will directly send people to protect them.

  As for the follow-up ‘Ether Flow Information Base,

  「That may be the real source of information for the silver chip.」

Ian murmured to himself: "The silver chip can obtain information from the Void Realm. This is a proven function, but the silver chip can pass through the Star Prison and send messages to me from the Great Ether. Obviously, it does not rely on the same The 'Virtual Realm Channel' cut off by Prisoner Star Heaven Prison."

   "It is the prophet. Yes! It is the same as the prophet! The prophet relies on the flow of ether beyond time and space, and links other parallel universes or past and future scenarios to obtain 'prophetic information,'!"

"The ether flow information base should be an information base built on such a 'hyperspace ether flow'—so the silver chip can even get a complete piece of information when something just appears, and it can also hold Or, that is, when I know nothing about a certain thing, I directly know the 'story and' experience behind this thing!"

  「Because in a sense, it’s also a kind of ‘prophecy!」

   "The unimaginable ability to store and record the information you need to store directly beyond time and space can explain the incredible functions of the silver chip!"

  If Ian is not a prophet, or if his prophetic ability is not such an incredibly powerful prophetic power, it would be difficult for him to detect the truth of the "ether flow information base".

  It’s like the Huaiguang Church has the ‘Apocalypse Prophecy Book’, and the prophets among the mountain people also had the ‘Evening Skull’. Such a prophetic tool, the etheric information bank, may be the ‘prophetic information bank’ made by the creator of the silver chip!

  To explore the secrets of the silver chip, one has to go step by step. Ian has great patience in this regard. He believes that one day he will be able to understand the secrets behind the silver chip, the skyfall spacecraft, and the Prisoner Star Prison.

  As for now, I still turn my attention back to my own 'Abstract Way,'.

  Ian's operation this time is mainly to integrate the two inherited abilities of "Immovable Fortified City" and "Fairy".

  Earth vein source crystal is a kind of ectoplasm material, which meets the requirements of the fairy family and also meets the needs of the immovable strong city.

  Flash Silver Skeleton tends to be immovable fortresses, but elves can also use them.

  The mithril line on the left arm is just to optimize energy transmission to facilitate Ian's ability to use two inheritances at the same time, and it is naturally universal.

  If the progress bar of Alpha Path·Steel Herald is 100%, then Ian is now

   Now 25% has been completed, and the two inheritances of Fudo Fortress and Fairy account for 33% respectively.

The remaining 8% is some more detailed transformations. For example, Ian has completed the placement of the energy-draining metal around the source crystal, even if it is about 3% of the progress, and the difference between the meditation method and the heart light shield The soul structure occupies another 3%.

   These tasks are very cumbersome, and it will take a few months to complete them completely. According to Anfa, after more than a month, before the summer, the exploration of the Xenomorph Research Institute will begin.

Therefore, Ian's goal is to refine the potion of one of the immovable strong city and the goblin before leaving for the Alien Research Institute, so as to reach the standard third energy level of the way of sublimation, and complete the "Iron Pioneer" Progress increased to over 60%.

   Think and do it.

Ian brought all the potion materials of 'Lord of Stone' from the warehouse - the crystals of the source of the earth veins are already in his body, and the Morion steel is also very abundant, so he actually only needs to put the 'chest shell of the dust-cleaning dragon' 'The rainbow wings of the steel pterosaur can be made into potions.

  However, because Ian is not going to advance to the original old version of the Lord of Stone, but the Lord of Steel as part of the inheritance of the pioneer of steel, so he still needs to make some changes and fine-tuning in this regard.

  This will take a while to study.

time. Time is always the most scarce resource in this world.

   In 774 Terra, in mid-April, the lord of Xiahui, Ian, returned to his territory.

On the first day of their return, the citizens discovered that their lord did not speak out as frequently as usual, but lived in his own laboratory immediately—this made the leaders breathe a sigh of relief .

  Although Ian will bring some good news or policy changes every time he plays, but too frequent changes will also make people feel a little scared and afraid, and lose their sense of stability.

  Especially, Ian's behavior is really different from other noble lords, so it makes everyone unclear what his lord wants to do.

   But now, Ian's behavior is easy to understand-entering the laboratory as soon as he returns to the territory, which is the most common behavior of those alchemist lords in Terra, which fits the inherent impression of the big guy.

   "This is our lord." The citizens were so emotional.

  So far, Xiahui has ushered in a period of calm and stable development.

   But this is just the calm above the sea, the really turbulent undercurrent is still surging.

  Terra 774 In late April 774, Lord Xiahui's mansion announced that in order to prevent a possible second biological warfare attack in Flaming Land in the future, most of the poisonous 'vaccine' would be popularized in the territory. After the injection of this vaccine, most people will not have any sequelae, a small number of people will recover after a few days of dizziness, and all of them will feel refreshed, clear eyesight, and memory to a certain extent after a week.

  Terra 774 In early May, the first batch of Bai Zhimin immigrants from Harrison Port arrived in Xiahui Territory, and at the same time, there were also 'age-age teenagers' within the Yinfeng family. After adapting to the environment of Xiahuiling for a short time, this group of teenagers joined the 'experimental training camp' together with local school-age teenagers in Xiahuiling, and signed relevant contracts.

   In mid-May of Terra 774, the experimental training camp officially started. All the trainees were surprised to find that in addition to the general knowledge of mathematics, inscriptions and basic alchemy, they also had to learn a peculiar skill called 'Arcane Meditation'.

  In the calm sea, no one can see the turbulent dark tide.

  Before the storm actually descends, no one can sense the calmness of the sky.

   So, right here and now.

  A brand new era quietly kicks off in the silent hour that no one knows.
