Chapter 607 Helios

What exactly is this? "

Huai Shi raised his hand, and the heavy chain emerged from the void, shrouded in sparks and black smoke, revealing its outline. It has completely integrated with its own source of weapons, and is indistinguishable from each other.

This alone makes the completion of the Cord of Sorrow far ahead of other weapons. Even Huai Shi's Hatred Sword made using the memory of the forger cannot catch up.

Because of this, Huai Shi was extremely surprised.

"Invitation from Helios."

Tong Ji said: "It is the starting point of the pilgrimage for alchemists. Basically every alchemist should have heard of its existence, and also had fears and admiration for it."

"Will the Grand Master do the same?"

"Even a great master grows up step by step from an apprentice, right?"

Tong Ji thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, Mikhail did not accept Helios's invitation, but Garland, another great master of the Stone Cauldron Society, did go...the topic is far away. , in short, you can think of the chain you got from the kitten as a quest item. Once triggered, a legendary quest called 'Helios' Wish' will be generated..."

Huai Shi's expression twitched.

That bastard kitten!

All the mission rewards given are fucking props for other missions...

Think about it carefully, whether it's an ID card, a Nibelungen, or a chain, none of them are so damn worry-free!

At that time, I was so happy that I thought I had taken advantage of it, but I didn't expect that I would be sold out by this bastard!

Fortunately, he came back with the title of a prince, so it wasn't too much of a disadvantage... But no matter what happened in the future, he would have to settle this debt with him.

After scratching his head, Huai Shi took a deep breath and calmed down.

"So, Helios' invitation is a chain?"

"To be precise, it is a puzzle set up by randomly scattered throughout the whole country, squandering miracles like rain - the invitation itself is a perfect carrier of relics, an empty shell."

Having said this, Tong Ji smiled: "Before that, let's talk about Helios first... Helios workshop, Helios chariot, do you know about this?"

"Ah, one of the legendary top ten workshops." Huai Shi scratched her head, "Even the few in the front row don't know much about it."

"So you are still too biased. This should be common sense to alchemists... Then, let's start from the beginning."

Tong Ji leaned back, as if she had fallen to the ground, and sat on the invisible sofa and seat. She assumed a comfortable posture and started to speak regardless of whether Huai Shi was still standing there.

Not to be outdone, Huaishi sneered, sat back in the air, and leaned on the invisible seat. She even crossed her legs, leaned back comfortably, and hugged her arms.

Even Tong Ji froze on the spot, dumbfounded: "How did you do it?"

"...Zamabu."

After a long time, Huai Shi squeezed out a few words through her teeth, and looked away in embarrassment, her face already red from suppressing it.

"Pfft hahahahahaha."

Tong Ji laughed unceremoniously, almost wiping away tears, leaning forward and back, overjoyed: "Forget it, forget it, you'd better sit over here. This is the first time someone steps in front of me, I don't even know what to say. I can’t go down…”

As she spoke, she pointed to the empty air beside her.

Huai Shi propped up her body with one leg and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at the air next to Tong Ji, stretched out his hand and touched it, and unexpectedly felt the faint touch of the sofa. He pressed it twice, and it turned out that the sofa was indeed correct.

"What's the principle?"

"Intangible things and tangible qualities are just a little trick in alchemy. Don't look at it. You can't learn this." Tong Ji rested her chin on her elbow and smiled.

Huai Shi thought for a while and sat down tentatively.

Sit tight.

Right next to her.

Then I felt a little stiff.

"Aren't you going to get closer?" Tong Ji looked at his appearance and asked curiously, "Are you going to sit outside soon?"

"Wordy!"

Huai Shi sat upright and looked straight ahead: "Are you still going to talk?"

He shouldn't have sat here, he felt even more tired than Zamabu!

"Okay...where did we just talk?"

So you're just teasing me, right?

Huai Shi reminded unhappily: "Helios."

"Yes, Helios."

As if nothing had happened, Tong Ji held on to the armrest that was exclusive to her side and said lazily: "There is nothing wrong with being one of the top ten workshops, but in essence, it does not belong to anyone, and it does not even belong to anyone. The resident alchemist, a miracle in its own right that would set it above countless alchemists, was once a relic of Olympus's majesty - some might have thought it was the chariot of the sun god Helios , but in fact it is Helios itself, can you understand?"

Huai Shi looked over blankly, then quickly looked away: "What do you mean?"

"It means that the god Helios does not exist at all. It is the legendary sun chariot of Apollo. It itself is the sun carrier once cast by the Olympus gods. It once represented the authority of the scorching sun. Relics, miracles of Olympus, is this explained clearly enough?"

Huai Shi was stunned for a long time and finally came to his senses.

"Yes, so it can continue to exist after the death of the gods. Judging from its own properties, you can think of it as a space station running on the orbit of the solar system, flying in the cold universe , which crosses the Earth's orbit every seventy-one years, allowing alchemists to visit.

Although this huge spatial scale is meaningless, it does gain huge power by imitating the movement of the sun. It is not an exaggeration to call it the incarnation of the sun.

It was a war weapon created by the gods of Olympus to deal with the dangers of hell. It is said that a super weapon can destroy a continental plate with just one blow! Awesome, right? "

"It doesn't sound very real. Will the Astronomical Society allow such a thing to exist?"

"Of course not, but long before the Astronomical Society was established, no, long before the gods fell, it was damaged by some bad thing passing by. So, outsiders are not good things, no matter how bad they are. There should be a limit to enthusiasm. If those guys had been more vigilant, they wouldn't have ended up like this..."

I can't understand the second half of Huai Shi's sentence at all, but this is not the first time Tong Ji talks to herself like this, so just listen to it as the dark history of Olympus.

"In other words, Helios is currently in a damaged state?"

"Almost 90 percent of the functions are gone."

Tong Ji shrugged: "So, the remaining instinct of Helios chose to repair itself. But unfortunately, Hephaestus no longer exists, so he can only use fake hands to communicate with others... That's why there is an invitation letter. exist.

Through its own orbit, every time it approaches the sun, it produces a large number of semi-finished products in batches, and then throws them into the present and hell, producing a large number of invitations. "

"Any alchemist who wishes to set foot on Helios can work on the invitation, loading the blank relic with his own smelting miracle - just like continuing to work on someone else's half-finished painting. Just like any creation, as long as it reaches a perfect rating, it will be regarded as a guest worthy of invitation by Helios and will be qualified to board Helios."

"Then what?"

"Then I will take on the maintenance work." Tong Ji said calmly: "I just ask someone to come to my home to repair the sewer pipes. How can I treat you to tea? But for any alchemist, being able to have direct contact with him The creation of the gods is already an incredible opportunity, let alone being able to participate in it. If the work can be completed within a month of the intersection of the tracks, then you can get off with a thank you gift.

If you can't finish it, haha, then you'll have to finish your part of it... However, once the car passes the station, it's hard to get off, do you understand? "

Huai Shi swallowed and spat.

Think about it, an alchemist is carried by a cold chariot, sailing in the cold universe, isolated from everything by the vast darkness and despair.

And the current situation is beyond the distant astronomical scale...

Looking forward to seeing you again after seventy years.

"I tell you, some alchemists wish they could stay a little longer."

Tong Ji shrugged, "I didn't want to get off the bus even when I got to the station. I stayed there intentionally. Over time, a group was formed internally due to the research on Helios, which is what we call the Helios Workshop. But the only person who can truly represent the Helios Workshop is Helios himself."

"Then...after so many years, is there any progress in repairs?"

"About thirty percent, right?"

Tong Ji said nonchalantly: "The material is rare. Sometimes Helios's own projection is like a taxi driving around in hell. It's not surprising to encounter it."

"When you say that, you're really downgraded..."

"Anyway, this is your chance."

Tong Ji's words made Huai Shi's heart skip a beat: "You have been accepting gifts from others for so long, I'm afraid you are already on the list, right?"

"I want to go up and fix the water pipe?" Huai Shi's eyes widened.

"What are you afraid of? With the skill of the caster, when the orbits of Helios intersect in one year, are you still afraid that you can't repair it?" Tong Ji glanced at him: "Besides, there is still one year, and one year later, you Maybe it’s level five!”

"Don't tell me that advancing to the fifth level is as good as eating and drinking! I'm only at the third level!" Huai Shi's eyes widened: "Besides, you forced me to get a level in front of me, so I need so much more experience than others. Okay!"

"Don't worry, as long as there is a breakthrough in the large group, Shao Siming's destiny will grow very quickly. As for Da Siming... you killed so many people in hell and wiped out the entire life in hell. How many correction points did you get? As long as Through the transformation of the secret ritual, you can immediately skip the early and middle stages and jump directly to the later stages. After the advanced materials are almost ready, you can consider the fourth level."

Tong Ji finished the calculation on her fingers and patted Huai Shi on the shoulder proudly: "Look at how thoughtful my sister has planned for you!"

"Yes, it's so thorough. From entry to burial, the arrangements are clear."

Huai Shi rolled her eyes.

Tong Ji came closer and smiled: "Are you angry?"

Huai Shi looked away and leaned back.

"If you go any further, you'll fall."

"I'll walk on horseback."

Huai Shi held his breath angrily and made a sound through his teeth.

Tong Ji's laughter became more and more cheerful.

"Okay, it's almost time for me... I'm going back first." She stretched out her hand and pulled Huai Shi up from the ground: "We are all teachers now, so stop being so childish."

Huai Shi sighed and waved his hand, signaling her to leave quickly.

But Tong Ji still stayed there, looking at his appearance, and suddenly said: "There is one more thing I haven't told you..."

"Huh?" Huaishi was puzzled.

Then he saw her reach out her hand, and with lightning speed, before Huai Shi could react in time, she rubbed his hair vigorously, with a bright and dazzling smile.

"You have grown up, Huai Shi." She said, "Congratulations."

Huai Shi froze on the spot.

"So, goodbye."

Winking at the contractor in front of her, she turned and left, her figure disappearing into the air.

Soon, the frozen time returned to flowing again.

It seemed that everyone had forgotten the phantom that disappeared, and had not noticed the ten minutes they had lost. They only saw Huai Shi standing there thoughtfully, staring in other directions.

Silence did not speak.

"teacher?"

Lin Shijiu looked at the pensive Huai Shi in confusion and reminded softly: "Are you okay?"

"Ah, sorry, I was stunned for a moment."

Huai Shi came back to her senses and smiled at them: "I remembered happy things."

In silence, Yuan Yuan looked at that smile and felt unreasonably sad in his heart.

But usually, Du was still standing silently in the corner, his rickety body stiff and already sweating profusely.

I have no idea what happened...

But he felt the stinging pain coming from his eyes.

It was as if for a moment, the tyrannical sun descended here, ruthlessly ravaging the pair of eyes that had seen too many miracles.

Deep burn marks like sun disks were left in his pupils.

He didn't even give him a reason to be afraid, he just handed down punishment indifferently.

tell him.

You should bow your head.

There will be another update later~
